They m1eov@ shink that the ssctionsi ad-
yansagss " nn1afissn1iss whisk the South
Possssses will ultimately attract large amount
Of northern capital and skill, and thus promote
their safety and tho harmony Of the country.
They have no motive, thesefcse, for enhanc-
ing the profits Of manufacturing investments by
Federal bounty. because in the competition with
other nations the climate, raw material, pro-
visions. and consumption Of the South being in
immediate juxtaposition. it will be much easier
for the North to bring the capitalist and opera
tives to the point whore these advantages are
concentrated, than to import them all into the
North to DO manufactured and re-exported to
the South for consumption.
The Republicans of Georgia moreover say
that they ''view with great alarm" the
partial appropriation ofthe public lands to in
the appropriation Of "the public money to wild,
reckless and gigantic schemes of internal i'm
psovsment intended for the promotion of par
ticular interests" They contend that in
the appropriation Of the public lands 'sthe true
rule Of equality is equity" This position is
directly responsive to the following gigantic
proposal made BY the organ of the Wing Free
sellers:
'sTo-day the great want of our country and the
age il the Pacific railroad. Let the subject be
discussed on its merits, and let vote be taken
throughout the land, without reference to party
organizations, on the naked question: Shall the
Federal Government expend thirty millions, if
necessary. to secure the construction, early us
practicable, Of . railroad from the mississippi to
the Pacific ''-and the aye would 'have it by at
least million majority"
Nov this propositions involves tho question,
,shess this great popular conduit shall be To-
Gated, and who shah bs entrusted with its or
esnisstion, and tho control Of it, expenditures
10 one plain line. pAas section shall secure the
and political benefits to result from
he appropriation Of this s'thirtyv-or three
times thirty" millons" Of Federal money.
The Republicans Of Georgia have invested a
large amount in system Of railroads which
uniting with those Of Tennessee, Kentucky,
Virginia, the Carolinas, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, Alabama, Arkansas, and Texas, look to
an extension by a common stem to the Pacific.
They are apprehensive that, if the question Of
location be left to numerical determination, that
the ''milion ofvotes" might through their rep
resentatives prefer section to country, and SO
bestow an unequal and dangerous advancement
upon one section over another. They may perhaps
foresee that population viii accompany the road
to the Pacific, and thus the balance Of sectional
power be SO far overthrown as to tempt further
assaults upon the rights Of the South, and thus
jeopardize the permanence of the Union.
! We think this Republican organization one
of the most important which has presented it.
SELF 1t is not sectional. because the same
party renounced its Federal affiliations in 1850.
and elected an Union Democrat governor.
Pursuing the same object, they now declare
their purpose to "maintain a political connexion
: with no party North or South, Wing or De-
mocratic, which is not devoted to the main
tenance Of the Rights of the States and the
: Union Of the States."
