But in h-is mind there was one safe and sure dependence for a successful set tletnent of the Oregon question in our fa vour, and that dependence was upon the women and children. "What do you mean?" cried several voices. Why, said ie, what I mean is. that if our women as well as the non go to Ore gon, and take good care to obey thepopu lation laws, we shall soon have pleuty of force to defend Oregon. This explanation caused roars of laugh ter. M. Darragh thought our claimfor Ore gon had been delayed long enough.

S. CAROLINA AND.GEORGIA. We have been induced to give consid erable topic, because several of the Geor gia papers have made -the action of South Carolina the ground of bitter :accusation and have seemed eager indeed to stir up a popular excitenent,.for which we think there is nojusticatioi.. - We have shown ,from tite Treaty of Beaufort that the citizens of South Caro lina have a right to the free unobstructed navigation of the Savannah river. The State qeing a party to..ixthis'reaty, has bound herself to her own citizes to pre set ve this right unimpaired. If the people of Georgih supposed that violent men sures were authorized or itiended, as the means of removing the supposed obstrue tion, ther.e might be some ground of com plaint; but.we repeat, there is no reason for such a conclusion, -None but peaceat ble and courteous proceedings were mean to be authorized and none other will be adopted. We beg them to take tbis into consideration in all they do and not to al low any sinister influence to interpose its "good oflices" fur the purpose of hatching mischief. - - - - We have shown Further fribn the Tred ty of Beaufort, that the Savannah river where it is not divided by islands, is the boundary of the two States, and conse qjueutly the assumption that Georgia has jurisdiction of the whole river is unfoundz ed. This conclusion. is amply sustained by .he words of ihe Treaty4 -hy common setge, by the laws of.nations and by ju dicial decisions. And this brings us to the other question-the Toll Bridge. c : The right of property in the Bridgo o6er..the Siavannah at Augusta, is and has heen for long years in question. The city of Augusta on one side and Mr. Shuliz on the other, are the parties. We shall not enter into that question. Sufficient to say thit Augusta by chartere from South Carolina and (eorgia, holds the franchise -the privilege of collecting toll for cross ing the river. It is a. benefit conferred equally. by the two States-and. unless. one of the -two has been.cheatedana foot ed, it is a benefit coilerred for the purpose of advancingithe interests of Ie peopleof Has this franchise' been so used .: W put. the question in all can'd rto t.heAwiit a the nCotilbil'alist-an notorious that this gift of two States has. turned into a means of oppressing the people of both ;-that this privilege, de signed to facilitate their intercourse, has been used to prevent and exclude such intercourse ;-t hat an exhorbitant rate of tolls has been estatilished and pertinaciques ly adhered to, not because is was the most productive, but because it shut the people out tram each other and.cut off free trade! yes, FREF TRADE between Georgia and South Carolina, is for some reason deem-. ed worthy of the systematic hostility of the city of Augusta. It is also deemed worthy of the coutinund and enruest sup port of the State of South. Carolina. We have examed this subject with some attention, and we aver that here is the true and only ground of difference between South Carolina and tho city of Augusta, -that the former desires a free and unob structed intercourse between the people of the two states, and the latter opposes it. The charter held by Augusta expires in the year .184S. It is believed to have been used in a way very seriously to injure lthe people of South Carolina. Many egoris have been made to compromise the dif ference and they have all failed. On. our, side there has been an earnest desirehy. every amicable means to secure the gre;.t object of a free intercourse-to relieve both Georgia and South Carolina from this prohibitoty tariff of tolls.'- There has at length seemed no way to effect this ob ject, bttt the interference of the State. Oar Legiselatu relhas vested tbe. franchise, otit the expiration 4f t-he present! charter to tho S. C. railroad comrpany. Butt mark the spirit of the act. Trhey make a cotn dition that tolls shall be exacted to one halfrthe amount only, of those now levied. To listen to the attgry complaints of some writers in Augusta and Savannah, one would suppose that South Carolina had laid some heavy burden and hard to be borne, upon the people of Georgia. She has only interfered to relieve them from taxation-to give ,themptp liberty of coming here, and- bringing their goods here, without paying a penalty for it. She has decided as far as in her lies, that the planters of Georgia shall not be shut out from her markets-and for this act she is acCused of hostility to G'eorgia. antI of seeking to indulge hat- own selishntess at the expeuse of hter neighbors! Surely those who accuse, should, protect them selves withi better reasons. Share is no hostility to Georgia-thbere is no wrish to interfere with her, or to gala advatntages at her expense. We believe l* people have a common interest with ours, in Free trade, and that a monopoly which is used to force them away from our market, is as unjttst and injurious to them as to ue. Certainly the city of Au gusta cannot expect that South Carolina will continue to grant a franchise to those who insist upon ustgit f'dr her~great in jury.-Charleston Mercury.
