ATLANTA, MARCH 27, 1856.
H@„ The editors of Monlfcomery seem to be
trying to raise an excitement among themselves.
The Advertiser 'of the 18th publishes letters
which have passed between Mr. Blue of that
paper, and Messrs Biggs and Hooper of the
Mail, the tone of which .is decidedly warlike.
Hie correspondence, with the cards of each edi
tor, has a leaning towards pistols and coffee for
three.
Mr. Murphey’s Speech-
F»r the benefit of Mr. Murphey’s constitu
ency, in DeKalb, as well as all other, rea
ders, we publish to-day, the remarks of Mur
phey upon the minarity report 'of Mr. Hill
We have not before been able to give them
place, but the able cliaractcr of Mr. Murphey’s
arguments renders an apology for tboir publica
tion, at this late hour, entirely.unneceesary. —
We commend the speech to the thoughtful at
tention of the re.ider.
A Protest.
Pursuant to request, we give place to-day to
the Resolutions, of the meeting in Union, rela
tion to the Governor's veto of the Hiawassee
Bailroad, Bill. For that Bill wo felt a lively
interest, and to the extent of our limited influ
ence, advocated its passage. Still wo must
respectfully say to our friends in Union that we
cannot sympathize with the tone in which they
have seen proper to express their disapproba
tion of the views of the Executive u[>on the
subject. To impute any motives to him not
consistent with his conscientious convictions of
duty, is, wc think, an injustice to him w icb, in
a cooler moment, wo are disposed to think, the
the people of Union would hesitate to perpe
trate. It is but natural that our f< iends should
be disappointed by the Governor's refusal to
sanction a character irhich promised them so
much, nor are wo surprised they should make a
public expression of their dissatisfaction with
with the Veto that deprives them of advanta
ges they so much need. Still the reasoi s given
by the Governor for his course are intitled to
more consideration than seems to have been
accorded them iu the meeting, the proceedings
of which we publish to-day.
Bor the flattering estimate our friends have
been pleased to place upon our humble exer
tion* for the bill, we are truly gratified, and we
sincerely regret wo are compelled to differ with
them in their views. At the sama time, we see
no objection to giving publicity to their resolu
tioas, as a part of the history of the times.—
We have thus given both sides of the question
to. our readers, and leave them to judge between
the Governor and the people of Union.
The late hour of the receipt of these resolu
tions, and the space they occupy prevent farther
comment upon them at present. We shall,
however, take occasion, iu our next isme to ex
press fully and freely our view’s upon the ques
tion, when wo think we shall be able to show
conclusively that Urn Governor has acted wisely,
oven though, our interest in affording the sec
tion interested railroad facilities betrayed us
jnto an error, made apparent by the able argu
ments of the Veto Message.
The Governor's Veto and the Union
Meeting.
Wo published yesterday the proceedings of
an indignation meeting (wo can characterize it
as nothing else.) held in Union county, reflect
ing hotly upon the motives of Gov< mor John
son iu vetoing the Hiawassee Railroad charter,
and in doing so expresseel decidedly opr entire
disapprobation of the general tone of the reso
lations, and the spirit of the assembly which
promulgated thorn. Now wc have great respect
far the several gentlemen whose names are
prominent in the. published proceedings, and
without intending auy particular reflection upon
them, we are forced to pronounce the preamble
and resolutions aa altogether too vituperative
to have any effect upon the public mind, and,
outside the limits of the counties immediately
interested, cannot but be regarded as n pointless
discharge of venom upon the empty air. sting
ing none but those who spit it out. Wc have
searched carefully, and hoping success, to find
one argument of weight in the whole proceed
ings, and have been forced to tiie conviction,
that disappointed spite entered more into the
composition of the meeting, than auy intention
to refute the arguments of the Executive. This
spite has led them into errors which are fata!
to any good hoped to be accomplished by the
protest, and betrayed them into invectives too
undignified for a respectable county-mesting,
and too violent to be applied to a private
individual, one remove from a scoundrel, much
less to the Executive of cur State. The
personal reflections, considering the position ol
Governor Johnson, are of a character which’
when the excited feeling which originated the I
meeting shall have died away, will bring the
blush of shame to the cheek of very participa
tor in it. As they now stand they should call
down the indignation of every public spirited
citizen if the State, for, such imputations of a
personal as well as public character, originating
in the disappointed malice of a hot-headed hand
ful of men, and hurled upon the Executive of
our State, is an insult to c.ur whole people, and
did it emanate from a section out,side our bound-;
arks would call upon the calumniators their i
usiveraal indignation. It is no light thing to j
impugn the motives of the Governor of Georgia,'
for in the Executive centres tho honor and dig
nity of the State, and more than once have our
people resented insults offered them, through
him; nor will they allow such reflections to come
from within their borders with impunity. Our
friends in Unionjoccupy unenviable ground, and
have, by their hasty proceedings ami outburst,
of impotent wrath, placed themselves in a most!
ridiculous light before the people.
U'c hare no doubt but this candid avorelj
of our sentiments will call down thejwrnth of!
gentlemen intercated in the meeting ; but wej
can say to thorn they calculat'd upon too much,
in supposing we would endorse such si
strin,,- of Billingsgate, when they sent it to us I
for publication. We would refuse our endorse
ment to its applieatkm to a private individ
al, (much lew Gov. Johnson.! since if be were!
tow enough to deserve it, he wonk I tce de _
bared to receive the consideration of a notice :
■tour bands, and, while we will impute no 1
to the perrew proamlgtting snefi I
scandalous charges, than those natural to we
disappointment of eh,risked hopes, we beg at
the same time they- will not understand us as
making one reservation which by any possii-le
condition, might be tortured into the semblance
of extenuation of such unwaranted and undig
nified language as is contained in the proceed
ings! We are thus emphatic because we do
not desire to be understood as sympathising
with the action of the meeting, as the reference
to the Examiner in the published proceeding*
would indicate.
Tho message of the Governor, and the res
ponse of the friends of the Bill are before o-ir
readers, and it is for them to say whether the
course of the former is ob.-i ixiousto the charres
o* the fatter. Tho answer is not a subject- of
speculation, and ifftho voice ofthe people could
be taken to m arrow, our Uni >n friends would
be heartily ashamed of their course. The veto
message is one of the ablest State papers that
have originated from the Executive Depart
ment for years, and so far from its views being
contracted and its arguments sectional, it has
universally been received us one of the most
liberal Messages eve' sent tlm General Assem
bly. So entirely consistent is it with the pol
icy of every State, and particularly with that
of South Carolina, that not one of the presses
of the latter State, so far as we have seen, haze
dared indulge in a word of disapprobation,
though the veto materially affects the interests of
different sections of their State. That State
is most aggrieved by tho tone of the message,
’ and yet, so thoroughly does it accord with its
own domestic policy that its piesses hove stu
diously, and with good reason, avoided
any allusion to it. And yet wc hear
the Governor villified for daring to act upon
the principle of self-protection practiced hy ev
ery adjoining State, and, only because, forsooth,
a certain section of the State is disappointed in
not being allowed to place its own advancement
before every other State interest I \V hile we
have been, and-are still anxious to afford the
extreme Northern sections of onr State the fa
cilities for trade they so much need, and. for
this reason, advocated the pivoage of the Hi
wassee Road Bill, still we would be wanting in
patriotism, if. to secure to the North these much
needed facilities, we advocated sacrifices, by
other sections, of vital interests; and. if the
charge of illiberality rests at anybody's door
it docs seem to us it. falls more properly upon
those friends of the Bi 1 who advocated it, in
the face of the injury it would iuflie upon other
sections of the State.
I We have no apology to make for having.
I alter reading the able arguments of the Veto
Message, abandoned the advocacy of a measure
so clearly shown not to be the “ greatest good
for the greatest number.'' The very probable
contingencies which stood in the way of the
Executive sanction, never suggested themselves
to us. and relying upon the representations
made us, we admitted into our columns
sgvera! appeals for the measure ilad we
studied tho project in til its bearings we
could not have failed tp fep tho objections
to which it waa subject, and when, upon reading
the Message, wi set to work to examine the
subject thoroughly, we found that Gov. John
son hod completely traversed the whole ground,
and that his opposition to the I.ill was the re
sult of mature deliberation and predicated upon
a broad basis of sagacity, which
is proof against auy charges of favoritism.—
We gave his message our unqualified approval
but, in so doing, <1 <1 not abate one iota of the
zealous interest wo have always lilt in the ad
vancement of those serhons of Georgia (not
Carolina) interested in the bill. Separate that
interest from that of our eastern sister, and
show gs u measure that will not require a ruin
ous sacrifice of other sections, equally deserving
the fostering care of the State, and we are for
it, against tho world; but, as tlje question
stands, we have no desire to be party to injus
tice to those sections, and will be particularly
watchful tjiat »e are not represented as attack
ing the arm interposed to prevent such injus
tice.

Debate in tiie Georgia Senate,
March I,’ 1556.
SENATE.
Mi- Lawson moved to take up the minority
and majority report of the Joint Committees
appointed to examine the State read.
Mr. il/iu phy said he hoped the motion would
prevail. That the minority report, though it
hud not been made by any formal presentation
in the Senate, it was now by the motion of the
Senator from Burke admitted to be before the
Senate, and as it was considered as a Report,
by the Senate, he desired to be heard upon it;
and as the Senate might refuse to take it up,
‘lie desired to -i ake a statement of facts as to
tiie proceedings of that Committee, and said :
Mr. President.: When that Committee was
organized. I proposed to them that they should
, G.da eli.'iiimau; that my name appearing
fust, on the list did not make me chairman, as
a matter of course, but that the Committee
had a right to select one. And, sir, when they
expressed themselves satisfied that I should be
considered chairman, 1 remarked to them that
I hoped each ono of them would feel that he
had all the privileges and responsibilities that
I had, except in deciding points of order and
; putting questions, and that I hoped each mem
ber of the Committee would make auy and all
suggestions and propositions that he thought
necessary to our investigation; that I did not
want to be considered as having any luofe res
ponsibility on tne than any of the rest.
The President, (Dr, Jeter in the Chair)
The Senator from DeKalb is oqt of order. It
: is not proper to bring before the Senate the
, manner of the proceedings of that Committee.
’ Mr. Murphy—That is true, sir; and Ido
, not propose to do so. But, sir, here is a report
upon the desks of Senators, and now moved to
■ be taken up, purporting to contain a state
i m p nt of the manner of proceeding by that
. Committee, and which casts a reflection upon
I the Committee, and which is in itself qntrue.—
Aud, sir, I desire to remark upon the state
ments contained iu the minority report, that
i the truth may be p esented in connection with
. the statements contained in that Report, and
which I feel bound to say, without intending
any disrespect to the man that made them, tint
1 they are false.
‘ Tho President—-You can go on.
Mr. Murphy—After the Committee had
. gone through with tiie investigation upon the
road and iu the offices by inspection, &c, on
♦'riday evening I asked leave of absccnce until
r Saturday evening, at which time I promised to
- rctiiai to Atlanta, and left the Committee nn
, of this minority reporter, (Dr.
( was Chairman of tho C-Jmmittt-e on
' of the House, aud 1 requested them
! to pursue such investigations as they might
think necessary, that we might, if they agreed
■ with me, make out our Report, before we left
’ -that place. But when I returned to Atlanta,
f learned that they had adjourned to meet.

' Yes, sir, ho neglected to examine his own wit
’ ness, and then conns here, and by his report,
? complains at the Committee for not investiga-

rille, those charge s made in the newspapers and
8 by common rumor were mentioned; and I pro-
B posed the Same course to the Committee that

come before the Committee and make a charge

B that be could sustain it by proof, that wc would
e give tho officer charged a copy of the charge,
s together with a notice of the time and place at
which testimony would be heard, and go fully
into the investigation. And, so far from
c avoiding investigation, I wtfat to a inember of
- the House, whom I had heard speaking of these
I charges and the truth o' them, and in the pres
' ence of a Senator who now hem’s m<", and said
that the Committee were ready and willing to
1 bear any charge that any person would take
i the responsibility of making, and to give him
_ the advantage of al! the testimony that he
might desire to have brought before the Com
mittee, wi h a view to the full and impartial

- from him again upon that subject. I would
, state to the Senate that this took place before
the adoption of tho resolution of Dr. Hill by
the committee.
1 This coipse was objected to and this minority
• Reporter offered the fqlowing resolution, that
too, after lie was cautionod not to introduce the
the resolution, unless b« was fully prepared to
sustain the charges, alleged iu the resolution.
• against the officers of the road :
“Whereas, it lias been repeated and distinct
ly charged, that the management of the Western
and Atlantic railroad, for and during the past
ysar, has been characterised by numerous acts
of political fa-,oril;«;;>, and that the said road
has thereby been tpado »n engine of political
i powe; devoted to*tlw subservence of political
purposes,greatly to the detriment of the inter
est a-A honor o' the State; and wherea-. it bat
' bi en specifically alleged that the rates offreight

hava been demanded and collected of the polit
ical party out of power, than we c asked of
the party in power, iboth being on tho same
or similar mission where these respective but
different rates were charged and collected) which
distinction between parties on account of po
litical opinion , was unjust, odious, and plainly
infractivv of law; and whereas, specie lias been
transported over the road free of charge in one
I which instance, nnd taxed with freight in anoth
er. distinejon evinces partiality, disregards and
I breaks the law; and whereas, full fares have
have been demanded and collected of a railroad
agent known aud recognized as such and in other
cases raidroad agents on precisely the same foot
ing, have been passer! free, which distinction was
made on account ofthe political opinion? of said
railroad agent, nothing to the contrary |-.av
; ing Iwen shown, or i- p>wibl - to be ' shown:
and whereas, all these acts of favoritism
partiality aud injustice, together with the gen
-1 oral want of a judicious economy, arzue nnd
demonstrate a decided want of something either
lirmncs, or prudence, or capacity, on the part of
, the Superintendent of said road, or his tunrri
, ort >n office: and whereas, the people 6f all
par ies, who are th ■ stock holders in said road,
absolutely demind an investigation of all mat
ters pmtaining to said read; and whereas, in
the language of rathe r<o«lntioDs appoint
ing this Committee, it ts thetr duty and
privilege -to examine into nnd report upon ths
Finances, Equipment and Managcmentg n.T

raid road of interest to th" State. Re it. there
fore.
■‘Resolved. That this Committee do now pro
ceed to tho p'ain duty required ot them, os in
dicated in the above quoted resolution,
which, in tho opinion of this Com
mittee. require the investigation of the
above specified charges, with a view finally to
pronounce and dispose of them, either as humil
iating truths, or discredible falsehoods."
Te this resolution Dr. Pirn-uw offer d the
following amendment :
“Resolved, That Col. T. C. Howard, our
Secretary, faraiah Gov. Johnson aud James F.
Cooper, Superintendent of the Western and
! Atlantic railrad. each With a copy es this
| Preamble and Resolution, with the request
; that they famish this Committee with fail in
formation of sii the facts connected with the
matters referred to iu tits Prenmable."
Which amendment was accepted bv Dr.
Gill, the minority reporter, and agreed to by l
' the Comtniitee. without a dissenting voice; and
i thc.Kese'.ution. as umseded. wns. by the unani
mous vote of the Gouimittea. adopted as the
; basis of the actio:; of tiie Committee. Ard.
; sir. in the face of all .his on* of that same'
: Committee comes before tire General Asrcmblv’
with a minority report, and publishes to life
world, through tl<e report, that -h? entered up-!
on his duries. ex>* .ting t<> hare the hearty co
operation of bis fellow committee-men in a frank,!
fail aud tree investigation, without regar to 1
i private feeling, party interests, or any o’her oi> (
ject the sole one of deciding finally whether or
not the above recited charges were true. But
he regrets to say, while he disclaims all inten
tion to reflect upon the majority or their poli
cy, that so far as the investigations of the com
mittee tend to throw light upon these charges,
nothing has been accomplished, in his opinion.
Too little time was taken for investigation; a
majority of the Committee had. in the under
signed's opinion, too limited notions of the ex
tent to which investigations should be pushed;
too fastidious ideas as to what were proper sub
jects of inquiry; aud too narrow views of their
own powers in the premises. The very m ittets,
or many of them which, in the opinion of the
undersigned, called for the most rigid serutinv,
were held by the majority to be ‘beyond our
scope,’‘not proper subjects for inquiry,’&c.,
and while the undersigned would here distinctly
recognise the confiding disposition ,>f the ma
jority, aud their praiseworthy desire to look
upon the bright side of every State road affair,
he respectfully submits that it was his desire
to take nothing upon trust, but to sift every
charge to the bottom, aud t/irn declare the res
ult.”
Now, sir, this minority reporter though he
bimself proposed the charges to be investigated,
and they were adopted by the committee with
out diminution, accepted the propcsition of Dr.
Phillips, to call upon the Governor and Su
perintendent for a report of the charges, there
by making it a part of his own, ar.tl tlien and
there agreed with ths balance of the commit tee,
that we would hear any other testimony that
alight lx; offered either side ; and after tiie e. tn
mittee had received the reports of the Governor
and Su|wrintendent, this minority report said
that he would sign a report upon the whole
management of the road as we b: d agreed to
report, and which is now contained iu the ma
jority report, and who was present when spe
cial enquiry was mode w! ether any other testi
mony could Ire produced, and the response was
none (except from himself, aud he never men
tloned tho name of a witness, n '.r asked to have
a person brought before the committee to give
testimony.) Notwithstanding all this he said
he would sign the report, provided the commit
tee would not xpress any opinion upon the
truth or falsity of the charges, as they had said
they would do, by the resolution adopted as the
basis of their action, as proposed by himself.
But the committee thought, as they had said
they would investigate them in the nnmi r
pointed out in the resolution, and had called in
the officer and given full time and scope lor
contradictory proof to fa? brought in, and had
received none; and when in fact, this minority
reporter had admitted, , s I have been informed,
th it he had been deceived, and that the testi
mony he expected could not be obtained they
were bound to protiounce the charges unj'ou ndej,
as the mildest term that was at .ill appli cable
to them.
I say, sir, this minority reporter after all thi s
comes here with his minority report, after kv
oral days absence and condemns the who),
course of the committee, qud says tha'
the mode of investigation was uspeciaiiv ur.sat
sifactory to him, and makes it the subject of
especial protest and to give plausibility to tbit
protest, be has beui ariful enough to have out !
■ at apart of the rcs:lution adopted by t’m
committee,which he accepted as a part of his!
own, and also to omit to say that, th. resolution !
prescibing tiie mode of investigation was eft'er- i
cd by ; imsolf. He says also that the commit
tee had too limited u tions of the extent t<>
which the investigation should bp pitahpd, when
! they had all the testimony they obtain, after
waiting over a month, and fa; oomplains, too.
! of want of time to investigate.
. And he, also, complains, that the ideas of
. the committee (except himself) were too fasti
dious as to what was proper subj. cte of cn-
i quiry.nnd that their views were too narrow as
to their own powers in the premises, and that
tho very matters <w many of them, wine'], in,
the opinion ot the minority of the commitbf, |
called for tho most rigid scrutiny, were held by j
' the majority beyond the scope ol the commit-;
tee, not proper subjects for enquiry, &c. Ac.— ■
And he. also, speaks of the praiswortliy desire i
' of the majority to look upon the bright si !■• •
of every State road affair, Hu respect tn ly |
submits that it was his desire to take i»>'. ing i
upon trust, but to sift every charge to the but-1
tom, and then declate the result. And he |
winds up, the report by specifying several prep •
er subjects of enquiry aud recommends a re- i
duction of freights cn the State road from Chat-1
tanooga to Atlanta, and the appointment of an I
efficient unfastidious committee gifted with ;
’ power to “probe to the bone,'' aud ail this th s
unfastidious, efficient and praisworthy reporter
without, as he says, any reflection, on the ma
jority or their policy. Now, air. line his own
language a. d say that without any intention to
cast any reflections on the man, the statem tits
in his minority report are not true, an 1,1 prom
ise to make good what I say. And, sir. ! re
peat that in tho statements contained iu the
minority report, that the committee had a lim
ited view of their powers, verc fastidious in
their ideas that there was no concert of action
among the majority, and that they were dis
posed to look upon the bright side of everything
connected with the affairs of the road, or that
they di'i not take time to investigate, tlmre is
no truth. The want of any concert of actio:
or agreement among the members of the com
mittee ia dispiovnl by their report sizuod by
them all. but the minority reporter, and the
fact that he proposed to sign it with th? m. if
they would report the resolution adopted by
the committee as the basis of their action, and
the response of the Governor and the Superin
tendent, without expressing any opinion of their
own upon the charges and snecificati ,ns con
tained in the resolution. That they did not
take time to investigate is disproved by the
length of time thut intervened between the
time they commenced their investigations and
the making out of the report, that the minori
ty reporter desired to investigate more cl xk ly
a’tul report the result is disproved by his hat
ing full power to do so and not hiving d :
so, and his minority report shows thut fact.—
That the balance of the committee had a more
limited views of their powers tram the minority
reporter had, is disproved by their adopting
the mode of investigation presented by him
self, to the extent that he proposed, and all t .e
rest agreed to it, and the gratuitous assertion
in the minority report that tiie committee de
sired to look upon the bright side of every tiling
ic., is disproved, hy the fact that they pur
sued the course which thia minority reporter
suggested, and the statement by him. liiat fl .
was for the most rigid scrutiny, that would rift
everything to the bottom, and report the result
is disprove'-! by his failing to do so iu his repirt,
and that he was lets sincer than any other ol i
the committee, and more dispogiil to paiclto i
the political prejudices aud au out door pressure I
are shown by h s agreeing to the resolution wit!; ■
the balance of the committee, and thej refusing i
to report upon the charges therein made, and j
proposing to report the resolution and re-spon-e I
of the Governor and Superintendent without I
any expression of opinion as to the truth or ;
falsehood of them as they hail agreed to do
and which he refused to d > eitheir with the'
balance of the committee, or in his min rity ;
report. And, sir, I repeat that I recollect of I,
nothing that was suggested as a protic- sunject .
of investigation by ti.e c im.nitt? e, diat was not
considered by them, except the sale of iron and ,
the Cowart appointment, and the committee ,
agreed that as they were before special com- ,
mittecs appoin’ed by the Genera! Assembly, (
that wc would not investigate them.
Mr. Ling, i f Glynn, interrupting—Wasthnt !
the only reason the Cowart appointment was'
not investigated. ’ (
Mr. Murphy—lt was. It is ‘rue that 1

And, Mr. President, 1 think it would be a j g
hard matter, in the opinion of a man who
wouat buck cut from his mode of investigation
and lein.-e to do that which he had proposed
should be done, and hud had the co-operation
of his fellow committee-men to the full extent
proposed by him, because he had been deceived
as to the testimony that could be produced to
sustain the^ charges made nnd investigated at
his suggest irm, to procure an efficient nnd un
fastidious Committee.
Mr. President, in conclusion I must say, that
with my knowledge of the facts in this mattcr,
and my acquaintance with this minority Re
porter, I cannot account for this minority re
port in no otiier way than by coming to the
conclusion that he is not the author of it. and
that tne author of it never was with the Com
mittee. nor did he even know what bad l>een
before them, and decided or refused to be deci
dei by them; and in saying this I think I haz
ard ii'ilhing, for I am well assured that I cun
sustain the facts which I have stated, and I
regret the necessity which lias made it my du
ty to state them, and I feel assured that the
Senate will bear me out in saying that I have
endeavored, dining this session, to avoid all
sail discussions, and conflicts, and have gone
into this statement with a view to do justice to
tin- majority of rhe Committee whose course
and conduct have been.as I think. unjuMlv as
sail'd and severely censured, and in doing so I
us-?, inwards the minority, the language used
hy him towards the majority, that I disclaim
any reflection on him as a man.
The reports were taken up by the Senate,
and a action was made to lay them on the ta
ble. Mr. hambro. of Upson, supported the
motion. He thought the best disposition that
could W made of th -m Was t!;is one. If dccis
iyiis sh-mld I'.' passed on cne ,>f the reports
t' ie n.i;;lit be bail feelings engendered bythd
action, and no good could "result from it. ane
tiie harmony and good will of manv might bd,
Dr. Landrum, of Ogicthorjx', made a bolos
e? q:;< tit appeal against their unjust disposal o
these documents. It was ;tn act of justice tj
the Government to make some decision, and be
protested against laying on the table. I en
tirely agreed with the views of Mr. Landrum
upon this point, and think it should have been
the duty, the stern rigid duty of the Senate, to
sanction one report or the other.
Mr. Landrum, of Oglethorpe, said, that the
p osition of the Senator from Upson, was, that
no good could result front taking up these re-
P ’rti -up m that position lie differed with him
radically. He said that when this Committee
was appo,ntiil. he acted with the anti-adminis
; tration party on the resolution. He did it be
; cause he desired that the charges which had
j betti preferred against the present Executive
! g touki be sifted to the bottom. In the ap
i pointi.ieoj nt this Committee, parties were
. equally div ded, and nothing whatever was re
; s ?rted to fur the purpose of screening the m:iu
j agement of the road from investigation. The
' $ entmitiee have discha ged their duties faith
i fudy, ami every member of it has signed a re—
! port exculpating the Governor from the fcnse
< ano .danik'rdus charges which have been made
against it. but the one who submits this miuor
i ity report. The .senator lias replied fully to
jti it repott. and the Executive atari is before
i this body after having been submitted to the
(seven st tests, fnliy exculpated. The question
j now is, whetl; r or not this body considers the
i chaiaetir and npututiun es tho Governor of
. sufficient importance to require of them to
endorse the vindication which thpir Committee
lias made, and to pt,; ;fa: ,a,tmp of disap;c-qba
tiun op this minority rep it The anti-; '. Min
istration party after having searched every k
and corner for corruption, and failing to fine .
ciii upon us at this stage of the game, whilst
defeated at all points, to lay these reports
on the table far the balance of the ses
sion ; because, forsooth, as the Senator from
Upson says, no good can result from taking
them up. Sir, I desire that every number on
• Ins fiii'ii' .-!ipu!;t tn w ins l.anj, and say to cur
people whether or not ho believes these charges
to bn tru<?, by endorsing or rejecting this ma
jority report. I don’t want this question evaded;
we stand before the country sustained against
persecution and slanderous abuse, nnd it re
main? now f-1- the present General Assembly to
endorse, it. This, sir. is tho good \ pqijcoive
will result, from taking up these reports. 1,

Public frlce ting in Union County-
At a large nnd enthusiastic meeting, held at
Blairsvillle, on the 17th itist., of the citizens of
Union county, convened far tha purpose of cou
sin ring t'm refusal of Gov. Johnson to give
hill signature or approval to the act of the
General Assembly, incorporating the Hiwassee
Railroad Company. Joshua Anderson, Esq.,
was called to the Chair, and L. N. Trammell
requested to act ns Secretary, when Dr. A.
Young, by th request of the Chair, rose and
iii very pointed and eloquent address explained
the object of the meeting.
Upon motion of Col. S. J. Smith, a com
mittee of seven was appointed to retire and
draft matter for the consideration of the incit
ing. The Committee consisted of Col. S. J.
Smith, Dr. A. Young. Col. JohnL. Fair. Col.
J. W. Holmes. Samuel Patterson, and G. W.
Lndimilk. Before the return of tiie Commit
tee, Col. Smith presented, for the consideration
ofthe meeting, the following preamble and
resolutions, and moved their adoption. Pend
ing which motion. the meeting was addressed
by Col. Smith, and others, expressive of their
mortification and dis .ppointment at the Gover
nor’s violation of confidence, and of their in
dignation lor the injustice done and wrong
inflicted upon this section »f the State, for the
flimsy aud unsupported cause assigned by him
for withholding his Executive signature from
ths bill proposing to incorporate the Hiwussec
Railroad Company. With one isolated excep
tion tiie preamble nnd resolutions were unani
mously addopted.
The citizens of Union county, of all parties
and types of parties, in the exercise of their
legitimate right as Georgians, have assembled
themselves iu mass meeting, to give some feeble
expression of the profound indignation with
which they regard the present action of his Ex
cellency, Herschel V. Johnson vetoing the Ili
wassce railroad bill. The exercise of this
power iias always been, recieved with a jealous
eye: it is the one> man p wer, more c osely as
similates onr Government to the despised des
potisms of the Old World, than any other; it
wns no doubt engrafted into our Constitutions
for a noble purpose, to check those occasional I
outbursts of popular feeling and excitement.!
incidental to human frailty; that would, uncheck
e'. regardless of the rights of minorities, tram
ple under foot the fundamental principles of
Government, and riot unbridled in licentiousness
aud ruin. Notwithstanding the wisdom ofthis
provision, like all things else human, it is liable
to abnse; it serves, however, as a _,tuuclistone
to test the true principles of the man who may
be the worthy or unworthy incumbent of he
Executive Chair.
1 be polity of engrafting the veto power in our
(.' institutions, State and Federal, has been seri
ously questioned, and even attempts made to
abolish it. by one great party in the Govern
ment, while the other pertinaciosiy maiotaned
i and justified it as essential and important; better
to risk, as an alternative, than dispense with as
remedy. The latter, or Democratic party, how
ever ad itting the exercise of it, sedulously
euardixi and surrounded it with limitations and
restrictions that addreas themselves to the spir-
I its of men, and prove the purity «>f tlseir prin
ciples.
It is universally admitted that the Veto may
be applied to unconstitutional enactments; and
further conceded, that it may be interposed to
check hasty, inconsiderate end reckless legisla
tion. Such are the pivots upon wh : ch thiapow
er turns, end are the well-established principles
of th.-Dem-cratic party. This party Gov. j
Johnson feilowshipp d, walked i» and out with, |
bore the pur; . «’.■! like his prototype of old.
afte U.e supper «air.>x>Fe-i Had h" s etoed the ;
bill for cm stiturioivj exceptions, we would I
have -ir.itt-d wit! out a r-';rmnr; »mt. having!
l-a-.d ids c’biect ■': s r-n ♦*- oread principle of
expediency, regardlees es the concurring cir
cumstances of hasty, inconsiderate and reckless
legislation, as an apology or justification of the
act. we most «t>lgnnly"protest This was no
new question sprung up suddenly, and hurried
through the Legislature hastily and without due
consideration. For years it hud been carefully
considered and weighed by the people and their
Representatives. At the previous session, the
bill was before the Legislature, and passed the
Senate by an overwhelming majority ; it was
lost in the House by a meagre vote. Then, as
at the session just passed, the question was abiy
eloquently, and pertinaciously argued. All the
points that city and corporation interest and
cupidity could seize upon were arrayed and
marshalled for the contest. The Republican
cohorts, surrounded with a panoply of principle
were ever ready for the onslaught. The battle
was fought, the victory won. The victors ex
ultingly retiring from tt.e well-fought field, to
rejoice with their friends at the triumph of prin
ciple, was astonished to behold, like Jonah’s
gourd, the leave and branches of the vine they
had planted were wilted and withered. A worm
had been at its roots.
We congratulate ourselves, however, that
the vine is not killed; that it strikes its roots
deep in Georgia's soil. All thut is needed is a
little care and cultivation, and above all, high
litneitig, to destroy the vermin that know at its
vitals. Then will it strike its roots deeper and
deeper, and its wide extending branches, dressed
in living green, will shelter and protect, equally
and alike, all that cluster around It.
But why talk of the history of this bill, the
numberless skirmishes, tho hard-fought battles,
the final victory ? His Excellency cares for
none of tln-se things; he entrenches himself be
hind his o; th “ To preserve, protect and defend
the State of Georgia.” Also, thut provision of
the Constitution which authorises him to revise
bills, &e. Tiie appeal made by these pleas loses
all its force, when it is remembered one of old
asked this memorable question, “ Why was not
this ointment sold for three hundred [ience, and
given to the poor?”
We will examine this oat|i arid tha provision
referred to in connection, first premising, as al
ready admitted, the right to veto unconstitu
tional and hasty, inconsiderate enactments.—
Neither of these objections, however, come
within the pale of his exceptions, which are
based exclusively on the inexpediency of the
measure.
The expediency of a political measure should
be coutrol.ed by the form and texture of the
gov. rimjent, and Uy the extraneous circumstan
ces, favoring or discountenancing its adoption.
Our government is Republican, the people are
sovereign, and their wifi, when it does not con
flict with the Constitution, and is expressed iu
due form, is paratqoqnt. The Senate and I louse
of Representatives are the political embodiment
of the sovereign, expressing by resolutions aud
bills, its wants aud wishes. The term revision
in our Constitution, as applied to resolutions
and bills, is obviously technical, and designed to
detect constitutional exceptions and informal
enactments. Onr position is that ths Execu
tive is not warranted, fry the Constitution, nor
by the principles upon which it is based, to ve
to measures on the exclusive ground of expedi
ency, It is said the two-third rule will be a
sufficient cheek upon‘the Executive. It may
be, perhaps, in all measures of general aud uni
form bearing, but how is it. in measures of in
ternal improvement, which, to a greater or less
extent, hi« necessarily iocal and sectional?—
What is its illustration in the history and fate
of the Hiawassee Rai'reaid bill’ fa it eotom
iiious of evil, and i!. ;t cinuiuually ? The State
of Georgia first eq.barko 1 in the system of in
ternal improyemi-ii's by building'the Western
& Atlantic Raiireiac], which is the great feeder
us tho mads to Macon, Savannah and Augusta,
'' ho stock in which is owned by rich companies,
i ..' irporated by the Legislature. The stock
hoidets in these reads, and the cities have been
wonderfully benefitted and enriched by the
Stat 'a great trank, which opet3 itself upon the
inexhaustible proffucw of the far West. They
have fatted and sweltered in their own grease.
Tl;o saiue Legislation that brought them wealth
and affluence brought ns ruin, robbed us of our
natural in irket, by opening a trade which nei
ther our soil nor our facilities of transportation
enabled us to compete with. Our great thor
ougi. lares that were being opened, eaiivening
awl enrichinggus with their travel, have been
> h'qcked up. Gui villages are made dull and lifc
• I'-ss; our lands have been deteriora ed one hundred
; per cent, by the very legislation that enhanced
. thp value of the lands on the lines of these roads
a greater ratio. The carrying trade has been
i b-stroyed ; the promised cheapness of goods has
not been realized, and the freights that were
once paid to our citizens and circulated iu our
own neighborhoods, now find thoir way to the
pockets of these chartered companies. Our
very hearthstones feel the baneful effect of these
measures. Aud now, that Northeastern Geor
gia asks the privilege merely of building a Hoad
through her remote and isolated regions, the
executive velois the bill. And the very legis—
fat'ou that enriched one section and impover
ished another, is invoked to perpetuate its rain
The old regime, or policy, was to equalise the
profit and loss of legislation, buthis Excellency
has discovered it was a great error—that the
true rule is, all the profits should be on one side,
and all the losses on the other. This hetrodol
idea of equalization be paralyses with his a
mighty veto. Thia is the illustration of the prin
ciples of his Excellency, under the oath to pre
serve, protect and defend the interest ofthe
State. Forgetting the State is a unit, aad its
interests consists in the uniformity of the intcres
eta of all its parts, he directs all the energies of
the Goverumei t to the building up of cities,
aud up holding railroad companies not only to
the present loss, bn the prospective ruin of loss
favored localities.
Nortli eastern Georgia, under the operation
of this aristocratic pollicy, is forever locked up
from the trade and commerce she is justly en
titled to. She never can avail herself of the two
third rule. Tho concentrated power of the cities
and corporations will ever prevent it. In the
future she will throw herself upon her own re
sources, meet this proscriptive policy, and if she,
must perish, she will perish in the fight, battling
for here own rights and the rights ofthe State,
as contradistiugusshed from the rights of favored
sections.
Resolved, That His Excellency, Ilcrshell V.
Johnson, in vetoing the act ofthe General As
sembly incorporating the Hiwassee Railroad
Company, has transcended his legitimate con
stitutional power, and set at defiance the sov
ereign will, and deliberate act of the people of
Georgia, as unequivocally expressed and de
fined, by 126 to 74 of their properly constitut
ed and accredited representatives.
Resoloed, That we revere the Constitution,
as the great chart and conservator of common
' natural rights, not the creator of odious and
invidious distinctions between citizens posses
sing common interests, common rights, and a
common destiny. That in the exercise of his
kingly prerogative, he has abrogated and out
raged the unquestionable rights of a portion of
the people of Georgia, to minister to the ag
grandisement of certain mammoth corporations,
and favorite cities, thus discarding the letter,
spirit and intent of that sacred instrument.
Resolved That by bis unmitigated act of
tyrrany and oppresion, he has blighted the hopes
and paralysed the energies of a ]x?ople, who
asked but the simple, though sacred right of
budding on their soil, by their own unaided re
source?, such business and commercial facilities
! as would be most conducsive to their prosperity
| and happiness as a free people.
I Resolved, That in thus contravening the sov
ereign rights of those, who have contributed
by taxation to the construction of those great
i railway, which have developed and enriched
| other sections of our common State, he has
I evinced an intense, virulent aud proscriptive
. sectionalism, a truckling subserviency, to those
I absorbing engrossing corporations of lhe
• State, more characteristic of the plotting, in
triguing, political aspirant, thaa the impar
; tial. enlightened ruler of a great comnon
■ wealth.
1 Resolved. That in this proscribing one fell
I swoop the loyal citizens of three entire counties
:of Georgia, he has violated, palpably violated,
i his plighted faith to the party who placed him
in power—ignored the cardinal principles of
the Democrat'? creed—the fundamental prin
ciples which constitute the paiadium of a gov
ernment reored by bur patriot sires for the pro- 1
tectiou and vejpeteatiqu of those inestimable i
rights bought with 'bar lives aud coi *-crated
by thetr Mood.
Resolved, That in thus repudiating the natural
rights of said integral members of this State, he
has stricken a fatal suicidal blow, at the cher
ished doctrin of “State rights” and placed in
the mouths of our Abolition Black Republican
adveraries, their most potent argument and
justification for their nefarious encroachments
on the constitutional rights of a minority of
the States of this expanding confederacy.
Resolved, That’in thus depriving said coun
ties of all commercial facilities from’tbe mista
ken apprehension that our contemplated rail
road would be made to subserve the interest
and promote the growing commercial great
ness of our sister States, Tennessee aud South
Carolina, he has manifested a contracted States
manship—a want of that magnanimous reci
procity of entire-State comity, which should
ever characterize the fraternal relations of States
bound together by the glorious memory of the
past, the fruition of the present, and the sacred
hopes of-our indissolubly linked destiny in the
future. J
Resolved, That in thus attempting, to use bis
own enigmatical language “to make the State
so use her power as to force by a compulsion
mutually advantageous" the travel and produce
which seeks the ship to become tributary to
her own wealth, prosperity and greatnes by
prohibiting the construction of additional rail
ways, affording more direct aad advantageous
commercial transits, he has made Georgia ex
hibit a begging, coercive policy, a sectional
jealousy towards the advancement and develop
ment of sister States, altogether beneath her
dignity and position as the Empire State ofthe
South.
, Resolved, That whilst wt regard 8. Carolina,
Tennessee and Alabama, as bright radient sis
ter States in the proud galaxy of States, and
would say God speed them in their onward and
upward career, of progressive greatness and
glory, we still proudly and difiantly assert
Georgia’s ability to honorably and successfully
compete with them in agriculture, arts and
commerce, without the humiliating interposi
tion of executive protection, coercive restrictions,
exercised in derogation of ths pride and high
character of her enterprising population. °
Resolved, I hat tho veto power has ever been
regarded by the purest patriots aud profoundest
statesmen of America, only as a wholesome ne
cessary check on hasty, inconsiderate or uncon
stitutional legislation ; that no consideration of
mere public policy can, under anv possible pre
text or contingency justify or atone for its ex
ercise in the deprivation of the natural inherent
and unalienable rights of the citizens ; or save
him who has thus dared so to use it, from the
deep political perdition to which the righteous
indignation of an outraged people will justly
consign him. J J
Resolved, That whilst wo will ever maintain
and steadfastly adhere to the political faith of
the great Democratic founders of this republic,
wo will persistently withold our suffrage from
any and all men who reeognize and endorse, to
their fullest extent, and indisputably just prin
ciples of free trade and equal rights, and who
do not boldly repudiate the monstrosity of that,
creed which would convert the freemen of one
section of Georgia into mere feeders, food ali
ment and provender to gfat, the rapacious
maws of the ci'y and railroad oarporntions of
another.
The following additional resolutions were
unanimously adopted ;
Resolved, 'that the lasting gratitude, the
warm heart-felt thanks of thc.people of Union
county, are due, and hereby cordially tendered,
the able, fearless and eloquent Senators and
Representatives who magnanimously co-opera
ted with our Senator and Representative in tho
advocacy, support and passage of the Hiawas
see railroad bill. That tn this steadfast adher
ence to tha great principles of onr popular sov
ereignty and republicanism, they have evinced
a patriotism and statesmanship’ uacircumscrib
cd by geographical position, couaty or State
lines—that unawed firmness and integrity of
purpose—that deep-abiding love of public jus
tice and equality which should ever characterise
the descendants of a noble ancestry, who wrest
ed those blood-bought principles from tho iron
grasp of tyranny, and transmitted them a price
less legacy to posterity.
Resolved. That our gratefril acknowledge
ments arc also tendered the presses which have
aided or sympathised with us in our unequal
contest with prejudice, injustice and cupidi y.
1 hat our thanks and gratitude are especially
due to the editors of the Atlanta Examiner for
their able advocacy of our rights, and their able
vindication of our able Representative, Col. S.
J. Smith. Also, to Mr. Gardner, for his lucid
logical and disinterested editorial vindication of
the Hiawassee railroad bill, which has given in
contestible evidence that he bo'ongs to that
class of profound, far reacliingstatesmen, whose
principles are founded upon the broad basis of
equality and justice—whose views expand with
the growing greatness and increasing enterprise
of our beloved State—that he is entitled to,
and should receive tho universal commendation
of every adherent of the great cardinal princi
pies of free trade «nd equal rightfl.
Resolved, That the unanimous thanks of this
meeting be tendered to Cols.S. Y. Jamison and
S. J. Smith, for the able discharge of their du
ties as our representatives.
Resolved, That the Augusta Constitutionalist,
Atlanta Examiner, Southern Banner, and all
papers who sympathise with us in our efforts
for equal rights,be requested to publish our pro
ceedings of this meeting. '

, Among these, the noble science of Medicine has
made great progress. Professor Holloway has

guished physician, whose reputation is already
engrafted on the world’s history. As a physi
cians he stands the acknowledged Emperor.—
Both in the sale of his medicines, and in thr»
number of patients that have taken them, he is
unrivalled. Professor Holloway has labored
to supply the human family with a permanent
remedy fortheir diseases, to which the afflicted
may have recourse with a moral certainty that
they will.be cured. There is no disease to
which they will not afford relief, His Pills arid
