As the organization of the territory plact s it in a different atti tude, w e presume that there can be no just ground for continuing in force till the provision* of the law of Do | f«tnin r 3'd, 1830. Therefore, we believe that the Mis. i #!Oilanes migiir be pardoned, and allowed to go where they please; f.r should they, omny other individual, at. tempt to contravene the laws of the state, the counties being organized, h mng inferior and superior courts, and justices of the peace, of their own; officers, duly com missioned, will be ready to exact obedience to these laws, and to punish any infraction of them that might be com mitted.

We copy the following articie from tbs Macon Mes senger of the l3.'i instant. “ We have been co-istr lined to deier many articles of interes - —among them one relating to the Commerc at Dank. During the present excitement upon the subject of R inks, we have ende ivored to inform ourselves in re gard to those with which the interest of our town and many of our patrons is identified. We have a list of the stockholders o’the C amtnercial Bank, and their credit and respectabili’y. and the integrity and capacity of its j officers, are a sufficient guiranty of the solvency and j good management of the institution. W e are the more j deposed to give our < onntrv readers light upon this sub- t ject, as the failure of the Macon B ink has been used most ungenerously 1 1 the detriment of the town an i our banks, than which there are none in the stats more en titled to credit.” LATK»T kkom rocr.vmiA, s*. c. Tin- Columbia Times of the 15th instant, contains the following information. “Tie Legislature yesterday, adopted the following resolution : “ Whereas, the President of the United States ha* ; issued lus Proclamation, announcing the proceedings of j this State, calling their citizens to renounce their pri na ry allegi iiicr-, and threatening them with military coer cion, unwarranted by tlie f'otistituiion. and utterly incon sistent wiih the existence of a tree State, Be it therefore Resolved , That his Excellency the Governor, be requested forthwith to issue his Proclaim lion, w.irn.ng tlie good peojile of tins State against tiie insidious attempt of the President ot the Lulled States, to seduce them from their allegiance, exhorting flu-m to disregard Ins vain menaces, and to be prepared to sustain the dignity, and protect tlie liberty of the - rate against the arbitrary measures proposed by the President.” c u t it -i *r; > v. V eextrad from the Charleston Courier of the 17sh i st. the following art.cle. Bank Robbery.—A most daring robbery of the South Carolina B ink, at the corner ot Broad and Cliurch- Strcets, w s perpetrated on Friday night last, by me ins ot false kevs ; and bills ot the bank to the amount of one hundred and fifty six thousand dollars abstracted from the Cashier's vault, together with ab nit 3. id specie dollars.—Suspicion fixed upon a man whose name ap pears to be 11 k.nry Barton, an E-iglislim <n, wfto arrived in tins city about itiree weeks since from B tltimorc, and who kept a small dry goods store in Queen, near Church treet. lie h d recently employed, under some plaitsu Id#* pretence. 3lr. f.a M >tte, a black tuid wlii.e smith, to make several blocks, tor keys—aim when boldly pass ing the B mk yesterday forenoon, ite w is pointed out by Mr. La Motte. (who did not at the time know either his name or residence,) as the person whoso employed him. He was immecii ilely arrested, taken into the Bank, anil -too 1 confessed the fact of ids participation in the busi ness, and named tlie place in Ins house win-re his por tion of the money w tuld be found, winch, on be ] i ig recovered, turned out M be one hundred and e pht thousand do'lnrs in II ink nibs, (all the large bills hav ng ' fallen to irs ah irej and all the specie ex ept about twen ty dollars. A ter a long and tedious examination, lie was ce-niin tied to jail, w ithout disi losing tiie n one ot his accompli ■ —but great Impes are enterfyined that the remainder ol the money will be soon recovered. ‘ I: is i source ol gre.-.t satist.iet.on to the community, tii it the perpetrator of this daring theft, h #8 bee t so promptly arrested, os ’l relieves Irom a suite ot anxiety il those connected in any in inner with the institution. It will be seen that a reward ot 50)() dollars has beta oili-red by the bank for the recovery of the m mey, and one thousand for the conviction ol tiie tide! or thieves. “ I is no.v within a few days ot thirty years since an attempt was tn uie to rob the s ime b ink by undermining from the drain in the street ; which was fortunately dis covered when nearly consummated.—An account of this attempt appeared in the first number of tlie Courier, which was printed two days after the discovery.” COMMUNICATION. No longer ago than Thursday night, of last week, a lad, who was tiring squibs in the street, threw one into my shop. Thus to hazard tiie lives and property of the citizens, (for there was combustible in tlie shop,) parti cularly in Broad-street, is highly dangerous. The 45. h section of the city Ordinance, ordains that “ if shrill not be lawful for any person to fire a gun. pistol, or any oth er fire arms, within the limits of the city, except in case of military parade; nor shall any person burn rockets, crackers, or any kind of tire.works within the said lint its.” As the law is disregarded, the penalty of the law should be inflicted, and pur in Suit force; the penalty of imprisonment and line, would soon put a stop to this dan gerous practice. A 2m HESS Os tiie Committee aitointf.o by those Dei.eoates WHO SUIT. OK I) FROM THE CONVENTION P.EC’E.N tI.Y AS SEMUI.ED A F MII.I.EOGU\ 11.1.E. Tiie decisive vote of both brandies of tlie Legisla ture, on the Resolutions of Mr. Ryan, has rendered su perfluous any farther services of tins Committee, in re lation to the prim ry object of its appointment. Toe fate of the Convention being no longer doab nil, we sh ill merely add to onr former observ itions, a lew stric tures on an address in which the project is formally an nounced, and sh ill Ciinti ic ourselves principally to those topics which are connected with the secession. It lias brcjl always onr desire, to practice the gre itest loader i u m towards our opponents, and this disposition is roth er increased than diminished by their signal discomfi ture. Vet it is impossible to retrain from an expres ! sio iof indignant surprize, at the statements which they h vve published. Toe following passage occurs, near . tlie commencement of the article to winch we have al i hide !; “ Delegates from s-xtv counties accordingly assem bled at this place. [ Muledgeville.] on M > iday the lii i oi November instant, and h .vmg c.tli Imed their ere- I dentials, proceeded to enter upon tiie duty assigned t > r them. At an advanced perio lof tlie session, after hav ing participated in its organization, and shared in all its preceding deliberations, a portion ot the delegates, some of whom had been appointed to, and had served : on, the gcuer d committee, which was raised to consi. dcr what objects ought to engage the attention o> tii** i Convention, and what would be the most proper means to effect the same, who had shared m tlie l.ibors ot tuat committee, and had expressed their assent in substance ’ and with some verbal alterations to the principles con -1 tained in tiie report which was subsequently adopted by . the Convention, thought proper to retire from their seats, i and to present their reasons in the lonn of a protest, which they have given to the public. Thirty-seven counties, containing as u is believed a mijontyof the f representative population of Georgia, continued to be ’ represented in Convention after this secession.” I i the whole ol this quotation, mere is scarcely a , particular which is not either positively incorrect, ot calculated to produce an erroneous impression. Every reader would naturally infer, that the seceding dele. 1 gates had apparently been content with the proceedings s of the Convention, until its deliberations were ne irly : concluded, and then, had abruptly and c pri riously renr. j ed. Vet there is not a member of that Convention wh could possibly be ignor mt, that the fa t was precis# l_v ; the reverse. Tne seceders at the very outset dem ind. - ed, that a scrutiny of crt.lemi.ds should precede all oth. er business. Every thing either d-me or origina’ec without tiiis pren quisite, was effected in despite ot theit * snenuous oppos.non. F.iey declared in the most une. 1 q.nvocal terns, th it they would not continue to servt ■ t.i a body, the authority of whose members was not i, subjected to a regular investigation. 1 nat investig i. ton they constantly persii’ed in demanding ; and the) w thdrew the very monii.it th it it was form illy re fused. The misrepresentation which we have thu* correcte# is sufficiently gross ; but that which immediately tol v lows we could scarcely believe possible, if it were no actually beioreour eyes. We are told that the seced ing delcga'es \\l;o belongid to the general con mint < f *• exprt ssed t.:eir assent in substance, and with some • verb d ale rations, to the principles contained in there port which was subsequently adop-ed by the Conven j 11,111.” To too doctrinal propositions of the report ther. 1 wis no material objection, excepting those of the 5t ’ Resolution, which were considered as lalse, or worst til a i se lS insidious u>rms of expression whicl - m il delude tlie un .vary into the most pernicious con ci siom Bu: suppose that all ot their abstractions h u passed* without censure .; are these what we are to on ‘ dcrst.ind, by- the principles connmed m the rep#m” 1 Precious subtletv of pleading .’ I t such a case, ever; man who receive* word* in their ordinary acce, uoon ; would uaderataud by *’ tie principles c-etttmned ;n dn report." the evlatance cf that, ick. ch the rtp&ft recom mended ; and in the present instance, the l-i'guage o f the address if interpreted in any other n: inner, it is ob vious, most be perfectly futile. For every body knows, that persons who are unanimous in theory, may never thelt ss be totally at variance, on all questions of prac tical utility. Now, is there a single member ol the ge neral committee, with hardihood enough to pretend, that the seceding delegates “ i t substance asseute i” t« rhe project which w. 9 recommended T It must be notorious to them all, that ti,e seccdrrs not only disap proved, but in the strongest terms openly reprobated the s heme, at the very re iding of the report. Knowing this by the evidence oi their owiT senses, how the au thors of the address cm jas ify to their consciences, j the representation which they have made, we are una ble to conceive. To ihose ctJngciences we leave them, in the sincere hope, that there may still be some latent exp! mation which has has eluded our search That “ thirty-seven counties containing-• a majority o r o r the represent .live population ol Georgia, continuedro be represented in the Convention after the secessi m,” for aught we know, “is believed"—but nw-i a suredlv not by v ?. Os the counties thus reterred to, there are five whose delegations were divided. Fre out oi their ele ven delegates seceded, and yet they “ o . tinned to be rc j presented”!—yes o course—by those wio eont'nvd t j sir! Toe arn iteur-of an "ambiguous giving out” cannot 1 lad to appreciate so dehc ite a stratagem in 1 tng lage. j But leaving these feats of di declic legerdem in. to per- i sons who enj >y them; let us piss to a preliminary and j essential question. Were the deleg ues wh • did remain, 1 whether mmy or few, really appointed by those whom they ostensibly represented ? The burden o' proof is 0:1 the convention, and hitherto it has exhibited noev de ice winch is s itisfactory, or even entitled to a serious con sideration. The report of “ the committee appoin.e Ito examine the ere lent! ds of the silting members ol t.us convention,” is a mere jest, ii relers to certificates upon certificates; bur who will enable us to estimate their v due ? So far as the report is concerned, there is no pos sibility of discriminating between those which may be good, and those which we know to he good lor nothing. Take for example the eases ot M Intosh and Glynn. They stand in the report on the same tooling with the rest. Yet a ‘cording to the documents themselves, the delegates from Mil itosli, the people li ci pro- j rested against the c mve ition, and never revoked their j protest) received on.lv 43 v ites in a county containing j more than 193 voters; and the Representatives and <Sen. atur of Glynn appointed the .Senator a delegate, under the authority of a vigue ceruficaie, t!i it among t ie pc >- pie there had been a veib'il undeftaml-ng oi such an arrangement. Other inst mces scarcely less fiagf ait we |i,rbe .r to cite. It is unnecess iry— or the very re'us 1! o the assemblage to scrutinize hs authority, betrayed a c msciousness that investigation would be Dial to its pre tensions. 1 Hat it is argued that the delegates claimed only ad visory powers, and therefore a strict examination of their ere lr minis was not indispensable. Conce ie 'or a moment, that these were flic only p > vers which they assumed —Ad.ice, which given by individuals in their j priv ite c ip icity, w mid he little re ; ir lc 1. »v ie 1 co tli tg from the si me persons invested widi the authority ol the j neople, might have an inHucri -e imp 'sing and decisive.
