Report OF the Georgia Convention.

We are indebted to the Milledgeville Re
corder for an extra issued on Saturday even
ing, the 18th instant, containing the report and
resolutions of the committee Of thirty three, as
finally amended and adopted by the Convention
OF the State of Georgia by a vote of 237 TO 49,.
They will be found in another column. During
the last week of the Convention several enthusi-
astic Union meetings were held in the capitol.
A correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle and
Sentinel says that, al | | o'clock on the 18th
instant, Mr.. JENKINS, from the Committee
of Thirty-three, presented the report, read
ing it from the desk in clear, distinct and
manly tone. Language would fail, he says, to
describe the effect it produced. Many, very
many eyes were suffused with tears at one
moment, and all seemed to feel as if Georgia
ought to be alike proud of her position and of
her noble sons who framed such report 1t
spoke the manly, patriotic sentiments of the
whole people, at least Of the honest patriots of
the land.
All honor to the people of Georgia and their
noble representatives, who have thus wiped off
all faint of suspicion from the escutcheon of this
prosperous State of the South.

Lunacy.

The Charleston Sun prints bill, recon-
mended by the Committee on Federal Relations
of the South Carolina Legislature, entitled
"Bill to provide police in relation to persons
coming from States hostile to the institutions of
the South" If such bill had been reported
by committee of lunatics in the Worcester
Asylum, we should not have been surprised at
it; but that any sane men should have conten-
plated such measure strikes us, we must con-
fess, with unalloyed wonder.
This bill requires that every white male per-
son above certain age arriving in South Caro-
lima from non-slaveholding State, or who has
resided in such State within two years pre-
vious, shall Immediately report himself to a
magistrate in writing, stating his name, age,
occupation, and place of residence and, on de-
fault of such report, such person is to be COM
mitted to Jail until he do make such report of
himself
Such a summary mode of disposing of ''whte
males' suspected of being suspicious persons,
has never been known since Dogberry's time,
The object of the process is to exclude ncendiary
publications. tbs, in all respects, worse than
the late multiplying law Of Vermont-except that
it has not yet been adopted. We hope that
there will be good sense enough in the Legis-
lature TO give II a prompt quietus.

From south Carolina,

The Inauguration of Governor MEANS took
place on the 10th instant; after which the
House of Representatives resolved itself into a
committee of the whole and resumed the con-
sideraton of Federal Relations, and the bill for
calling Convention of the people Of the State
was made the special order for the following
day.
The bill reported by the Committee on Fed
eral Relations to provide for the appointment
of deputies to Southern Congress was indie
finitely postponed by o vote Of ayes sixty, noes
fifty seven.
We have despatch from Columbia, of yes
terday's date, (the l9th,) which states that the
House on the previous day rejected, by a major
ity OF thirty-one, the bill from the Senate calling
State Convention. The despatch also states
that one ballot was taken for United States
Senator, which resulted in no choice, but in
which Mr.. RHErT received ffty-si votes, and
Mr.. HARMAHD fifty.

light, are urged and proPagated under the pre-
tended sanction of the higher latc. The argu-
ment is conclusive. No sophisty can break it or
evade it. Those men who vote and address
voters, and who, by open force or cowardly
circumventon, would induce men to break or
embarrass the law IN question, are teachers of
ialsehood and dshonor. II man wish to re-
sist the rendition of saves-and this is the real
end of most Of these agitations-and at the same
time to avoid moral turpitude of the deepest dye,
there is but one path for him to pursue; and
that is, to take the platform of GARRISON, de-
nounce the Constitution, refuse to pote, decline
office, and surrender citizenship

slightest responsibility attaches TO any one but
ourself for any thing that we may see fit TO
say. We have never expressed sentiment
in regard to the topics in controversy that is
not warranted to the full extent by the public
acts and official documents Of the Administra-
ton. We cannot interpret an ADHERENCE"
to the Compromise measures to mean an aban-
donment of any one of them, nor 'FINAL
SETTLEMENT" as temporary suspension Of
hostlities. This is the only cause of difference
between the atlas and the Republic.

Railroad to the Pacific.

We are pleased to notice that member of
Congress, in his communication to the Union,
Of yesterday, has suggested granting the use of
the hall of Representatives TO Mr.. WHITNEY,
to give him opportunity to explain his great
project to the members of Congress, and the
citizens generally. We consider it highly i'm
portant that such an opportunity should be
given to him, and hope the resolution when Of
fered may not be objected to. 1t is vast as
well as an important subject Mr. WHITNEY
is the originator Of the proposition, and has de-
voted some nine years in this country and in
Asia exclusively to maturing and perfectng
it. He has made it his only study, his
only object, and should, as he no doubt
does, understand the whole subject in all
its bearings. He has been heard before some
twenty State Legislatures, and received their
almost unanimous endorsement of his plan.
Several committees of both houses of Congress
have reported in favor Of his over all other
plans, and there are now, pending bills before
both houses to carry it into effect. But we
think that neither the plan nor the subject have
been examined or understood by the members
come up for action in the House, we there
fore consider it highly important that Mr..
WHITNEY should be heard. From one hours
hearing the members will no doubt be en-
abled to vote for or against the bill. We
consider it also important that it should be
acted on at this session; it may be consid-
cred that this is due to him and to the peo-
pie from Congress. The people, the press,
public meetings, and the State Legislatures of
some twenty States, as well committees in
Congress, have not only rendered their support,
but have and do urge him on, so that he feels
himself responsible, and now looks to Congress
for final expression of its will. And we hope
that decision may not be delayed because the
lands are fast being disposed of in manner
that will render them no longer available for
this highly important work, when it must be
abandoned or the issue made as will be between
Government road and no road at all.
