Manufacture of Public Opinion, It not unfrcquently happens that political agi tators and aspirants for offices which I Ley could never reach through merit, contrive to manufac ture public opinion, and give tone and direction to public meetings to subserve their own purpo ses. A remarkable instance of the kind occurred recently. Our readers will remember the celebrated meeting in Franklin county, at which the inqui sitorial resolutions were passed, calling upon ail the candidates for Congress to give their senti ments in relation to the Sub-Treasury and the candidates for the Presidency. These resolutions were ushered forth to the woiid as the production of a committee of the citizens of that county, arid adopted by the tneeling, when in fact, as we are informed on good authority, they wore the production ot ono of the Union candidates for Congress, who attended that meeting! It is certainly a novoily in the political canvasses of Georgia, for a candidate for Congress, lo smuggle in through a packed committee, a report and rcsolulions, by which such a lone is given to the proceedings of a public meeting, as will subserve his own interests in the contest. Linlo did the people of Franklin suppose that these resolutions had been “cut and dried” for them before they assembled, by one of the candidates for Congress, in whose favor they were to operate if passed, and only required to lie juggled through, lo lie heralded forth to the world as “public opinion.’’ Ltttv. fiij they suppose that they were suffering themselves to i, O made unconscious instrument 8 .in the hands of one candidate lo catechise and tto.-s-cxaminc his (elluw candidates ! That can } d'nUte'oo, must have felt a little odd in replying to hisow. enquiries about bis own political sen timents’.

V ,w \!ian the self XV □raw* irrstrs^rK- | interested prompting of some aspirant for office, ] who puts the people up to do what they had nev. i er dreamed of before. But the most singular I thing of ail in relation to this procedure, is, ! that the resolutions denounce a National Bank i'i unmeasured terms, while the very candidate who prepared those resolutions had always been ! a Bank man during tbc whole of his past life, down to the period of his nomination for Con- I gross, when it became convenient to get on the { other side of the fence !

From the Constitutionalist of yesterday, Agricultiiitil Society. The Agricubural Society of Richmond county, celebrated its Anniversary at Spring Dill, on Saturday last. Alter dinner was over, ttic Soci ety proceeded to business. Several communica tions on agricultural subjects were read by members, among them one by Judge Longstrecl, on the cultivation of Indian Corn on light soils, a copy of which we have been promised and will lay before our readers as soon as we get posses sion of it. The Society also came to the reso lution of giving to each of its members an agri cultural subject to experiment on, and each member is expected to report at or before its next annual meeting. This is a good movo on tho part of the society, ami one which if well followed up will prove of much benefit to its members and the public at large.

M. 1 The exhibition of the affiirs of the Brandon ■ Bank, in Mississippi, is one that will match any exposure that has been made in the history ol j banking. The capital ol the bank is in round numbers two millions; the liabilf ies eight mil | lions seven hundred thousand dollars. The Directors, ten in number, are indebted to the j r Bank as diawers and endorsers over three mil. 5 lions two hundred thou-and dollars—and the , only security the Bank has for this extraordinary 1 sum is so"cn thousand shares of stock, evidently ’ very doubtfol. ! About 330.000 acres of land, $385,000 do. 419 slaves at $5OO, 285,000 j do. 1120 hales ol cotton at $5O, 50,000 s $591,000 Six of the Directors enumerated as above owe over half a million of dollars each. 'The Bank owes in batik bills, post notes, bills of exchange ■1 and certificates of deposits, all payable on do e month six millions of dollars. 'To pay this they have only $38,000 in specie —about six millions lof hills rcrrivcnhlc, Directors included; lint j whether good or hail is not slated, and a large 1 sum in rail road mid other nnavailahlo funds, | The statement us it stands is altogether unsatis factory, and one that will give no confidence. 11' j the great item hills receivable tiad been put in three classes, viz. so much good—so much pipd for nothing—and so much doubtful, then some estimate could he formed. As it is, the fair inis Prussian is, that the explanation could not he j made with advantage to the Hank. A few months ago Mr. 13ranch was calling : upon the Whigs to unite in putting down the ad ; ministration. They have united in putting ///in down.— Uateigh Jtcg. ’ • I Thisjust retribution reminds us of the hoy’s I emphasis in reading a verse of the Old 'Testa-1 i incut. —“And he spake to Ins sons, saying sad- I , die me the ass. "And they saddled him.”—l‘rcn j lice, Mr. Biddle has gone to Nahant. Are not the t Globe and the Louisville Advertiser npprehcnsj ve that his object is to buy up tiro sea serpent.— ! Prentice. The administration will need little assistance from the old Democrats in Georgia as it has the aid of lire nullillers.— Ga. Constitutionalist. And perhaps you think that it needs little as sistance from the mrlliiters as it has the aid of the old Democrats, •‘.lnn,” said an economical in, keeper to his hoy, “you needn't give that horse much hay for yon know ho has corn; and look ye,Jim, you needn’t give him much corn for you know ho has hay.” The poor horse starved to death.— Prentice, At Mr. Bond’s late dinner in Ohio, Gen. Mur phy, a distinguished Whig, called Dr. Duncan ‘ a brute and the remnant of a still house.” Where’s your big rille, Doctor'! Is not such an insult to its redoubtable master enough to make it go o(f at half cock?— Prentice. Dr. Duncan finds it difficult, as bo says, to christen the Whig parly. We do not wonder at it. We once heard of a drunken preacher, who, when about to baptize a child, was unable to ro» collect its name. After puzzling his gin soaked brain for a few moments, ho turned round and exclaimed with a perplexed and maudlin stare at his congregation.—“ Why this is tiro most, diffi cult child to christen that I ever saw in my life.”— Prentice. The administration parly in North Carolina arc confident of success next year.— Globe, The members of that party ought certainly to he good judges of the occurrences of “next year.” They have boon knocked into tiro middle of it.— Prentice. The hunters of Kentucky have done well in their election. —Newark .Advertiser. Yen, (hey have bagged the Tory party. — Pren tice. \ friend writes ns from Cincinnati, that Dr. Duncan’s friends “keep such close watch over him that, ho is not able to get any brandy ai all.” They hud belter he careful. If they drive the Doctor to desperation, he will swallow himself ami lie drunk upon the dose a fortnight at least.— Prentice. The election in Arkansas is carried on with great bitterness amt vehemence. Doth parlies are sanguine of success. Win, Cummins, E-q. is the Whig candidate for Congress, and the Van liuren candidate, Judge Cross. The Whigs carry on lire contest under the broad banner of tiro “Constitution, Clay, and a National Bunk.” Wo learn, says the Louisville Journal, that. General Hayne’s visit to Lexington, has raised the price of properly in that city SO percent. — It would ho well for the Statu of Kentucky to hire the General to pay them a visit every now and then.— Picayune. To the Editors of the. Culuml/us Enquirer: 'Gentlemen : —1 have noticed some inter rogatories put. to the candidates Cor Congress, by a portion of the citizens of the county of Taliaferro, which 1 beg leave lo answer through the medium of your paper, Aly ab sence from home will he a sullicient apology for not having noticed calls winch have been made fioin other quarters. The people of Georgia, to whom I am known, I feel satisfied are assured that 1 entertain no political opin ion that I disguise, nor any sentiment upon the absorbing lomcsmt the day. that 1 care to withhold. In very early life 1 espoused the doctrines of the .Stale Rights party, from an honest conviction that they were sound—l did not desert them when the popular tide run roughly over their advocates ; and by those doctrines 1 am still willing to stand or fall.— Among the doctrines ot that party is the one denying to Congress the right to exorcise powers not specifically granted by the Consti tution. Our opponents claimed tiro right lo assume powers by implication, against which wc have warred in Congress ami the Slates. The warmest advocates for tire establishment of a National or U. S. Bank do not contend that there is any specific grant lor this purpose, and consequently claim it by implication.— You will perceive therefore, that unless I aban don this principle of the party, in which 1 have been schooled, 1 cannot bo the advocate of either a national or United States Bank, 1 am unwilling to obtain the suffrages of any portion of my fellow citizens, by deserting long cherished opinions, while I must be con scious I hey arc permitted to loathe me as an apostate. It J were sure that my defeat would be the result of an uncompromising adherence I to mv principles, it wou'd ho no temptation to abandon them. The people of this country will grow weary of such changelings as ate ever ready to jump Jirn Crow tor the bribe of ollico. An honest and generous community will sooner or later rebel against entrusting their rights in the hands of demagogues, who arc clamorous against principles and measures to-day if office can he obtained by it; and who in a short month, are foremost in carrying those very measures, if office depends upon it. It is to us a great national misfortune, that | criminations aim recriminations, by antago j riist politicians, publish lo the world what I sickening changes the vile motives of place I and power, inflict on the characters of'onr men. j Read the speeches of new light converts, and j hear their excuses ; ‘times and circumstances have changed,” “expediency requires it,” “they must yield to the power of the people,” &c. &c.; to all which I make one general in terpretation, to wit: they woo’d not change unless something could be made by it; they would retain their birthright, but for the pot tage, I feel that any appointment is purchased at, a price tar too ex'ravagnnt, it that price he i the undying contempt tor consistency, laitn i and honor, i am, therefore, content to trudge j on in me beaten track, and stt I oppose a Na i lional or United States Bank; and while I I respect tho opinions of those who tilth' with i me, they will ultimately, I Imve no doubt, re my character more kindly, for an honest adhon nee to my own. The great principle ■ cl liberty cannot he permanently maintained 1 by a sacrifice of honesty. Apart from the constitntiomil objection, 1 do not esteem the establishment of such institutions ut tins time, eilber safe or expedient. 1 lie derangement of I bo currency and pres sure of the times arc well calcnlnled to nwai ken enquiry, in order to find a remedy. Hot wu should not be hasty in ridding ourselves of teiflporary evils, by hazarding upon the cast of a die, the dearest and most permanent inter ns of the country. All admit that cither a National or United Sia es Hunk would have j control of fearful and dangerous powers; and j our safely, as a nation, would necessarily de pend very much upon the integrity and patriot, j ism of their management. This Ido not un derstand to bo either a sound or safe principle jol Government, The concentration of power, without proper cheeks and' balances, is the subversion of freedom. Tlio rock upon which rests the ark of our safely, is (be reten tion o! power, and I trust it will neither be moved or shaken by die factitious, agitated waves of selfishness and ambition. lam op* posed to collecting and disbursing tbe public funds, through the agency of pot banks, and shall tool sorry to learn that the fiscal concerns oi the government cannot he managed without the aid of irresponsible agents; corporations chartered with an eye to no such tins 1 ; whose stock holders, ollicers, nor dependents, arc selected by die people or their representatives. Upon this point the ytalc Rights party, as a parly, slant! committed; they have, by vole, pen, and speech, registered their unqualified disapprobation. lam decidedly in hivur of disconnecting the government from all hunks. Surely the agents of the government, selected by the people or I heir representatives, are like ly to bo as competent and os honest as corpus rations which are under the control of neither. Let the treasury he independent. The re ceiving specie alone m payment of public dues, 1 do not think necessary; and without n good reason for it would act, oppressively up on the banks. 1 have fully answered the questions propounded, and am glad lu have it m my power to show that 1 have been honestly struggling for principles, not for office or pow er. That in raising the war cry against the administration, it was from no selfish cause; but to aid in making our principles, not self interest, triumphant. I regret the danger of division upon this question among us, who have been for years united. It has not been our lot, for a season, to enjoy the honors or emoluments of a victorious party, boldly con tending for principle, fearlessly struggling against federal encroachment, and openly op posing the arm of power; we have been de preciated and stigmatized by a lame calumny, ns enemies to the Union, and ns inimical to freedom. Our reward has been our integrity; and I trust we slmll ever find consolation,even in ilcteat, in our consistency and our con • science. Upon tbe main point, a separation of government, and banks, there is no ililler mice of opinion between the candidates on one ticket; but as to the details of a hill, by which this scheme can he best effected, there may ho and is a difference of opinion. There is no doubt, however, that each will cordially embrace such plan as be feels will afford the least patronage, bo the least corrupting in its operations, and most safe for the country. The great question lor divorce being settled, at which we agrfie, in exercising onr best judg ments in its details, there can he no cause of quarrel. There have always been a few of our associates, who have believed in the con . stitulionnlity, if not the expediency of the United States Bank. To those friends I would submit in kindness a few remarks. Would you or either of yon bo willing to or ganize a bank for political purposes? From my knowledge of some of you,! flatter myself you will unequivocally answer NO ! Do you not perceive that should a National or United States Bunk be organized at this time, they must be inevitably blended with politics? That the election of members of Congress, the suc cess or defeat of the next President, will ho made to depend upon this question; so that the very foundation of such an institution, if created, will he made to rest on politics? The effort made in Georg a, to make this a lest question, contributes to the certainty of the political character of the Bank, and certainly should excite the alarms of its former friends, who Icel much regard for the country’s weal. To blend such an institution with politics, would doubtless ho the changing our form of government; anil although many members of the party with which I have acted, have been the friends and advocates of a United Stales Bank; and while their numbers could not reckon one to twenty of the great body of the party, their sentiments were never made the ground of proscription. One of the ablest representatives from Georgia, Mr. Wilde, openly advocated in Congress, the United Mates Bank, while but few of his party agreed with him, yet lie was a favorite; tailing only whenever ho fell in common with his friends With the fondest wish that our free institu tions may he permanent, and our country happy— I am your obedient servant, WALTER T. COLQUITT. [ Fellow citizens of Franklin and Tulwferro counties ; , Absence from home this summer has delay ed my replying to your call on the candidates for Congress, for the expression of their opin, ions in regard to a Bunk of the U. States, an Independent Treasury, the State Banks as (is. cal agents of the General Government and the Presidential election. I acknowledge your 1 perfect right to the required infoimillion, and ’ hasten to furnish it as far as regards myself. ’ As I (ind the call in the public papers, I hope I it will meet your approbation, it I address • you directly through the same medium, witli -1 out the intervention of the respectable coin ' mitiecs, who have been the organs of your cn f-1 q kies. 1 drafted the, resolution unanimously adopt . [ . d bv the Convention in May last, on the sub i Icct ’of tbe United States Bank, wording it as i j it was, with the special design of uniting all ’ | my political friends in opposition to such an ' institution. This was done not to avoid any . j necessary issue, but that the parly might as . 1 same i.s’true attitude, that of hostility to its ,| n -establishment. I knew many, who, though opposed to a United S ates Bank, were not , prepared to declare it unconstitutional. I hat _ ; i solution was intended to allow every one to 1 place his opposition on the grounds which best 1 j accorded with his own judgment. While an (: ! immense majority of the party regarded it as ' I fncKsty unconstitutional, some doubted wheih • i crit would not be a m ms “necessary and it i yroper” to execute undoubted functions. Somt'pluccil their opposition outlie ground <!t lU inexpediency, an,l Hie dangerous infln enee it had shown itself capable of wielding , whde otlicm regarded it as unneceaaary to the ! fiscal operations of the government in the safe 1 keeping of the public funds, and the facility and economy of their distant disbursement, ami believed that a rest ora'i«n of the State Hanks to a sound specie paying condition \\ ould, as well or better regulate die exchan ges by reducing them to (he hare hosts of transportation an I insurance of specie remit tances. The resolution referred to, as adopt ed. showed the convention unanimous on the main point, while an attempt to assign any par ticular reason or reasons for its course might have involved it in the weakness of divided counsels. .As for myself, a delegate in that convention, I found other reasons amply snlli. rient, Million! resorting to the constitutional diljiculfy. Tho’, on one hand I cannot regard a foiled States Hank as clearly constitutional, so on the other, 1 am not willing to incur the charge of immodest pretension by pronoun cing it grimly unconstitutional, in opposition to the opinions of many of our purest and wi sest statesmen, and the thrice repeated sane-, lion of the highest legislative decision. J.ike thousands of others, I have regarded die Dank of the United Stales with all charitable allow ance, »<> long as it confined itself to ils legi'i male duties and was ungoverned hv political ambition. Had it continued (lie useful auxiliary of the Government, and circumstances had not pro videntially arisen demanding a new order of tilings the country would probably have been content to risk the contingency of its exerting those fearful powers of mischief, which had been so confidently ascribed to it. Hut I now firmly believe it not only unnecessary and in. expedient, bid, under the circumstances which must attend its re-establishment, highly dangerous to ihc liberties of the country. Un necessary, because the prompt and certain convertibility of the State Hank bills into spe cie, and the operation of the Sub-Treasury in securing this convertibility by restraining'! he issues, will regulate the exchanges as effectu ally and in a less exceptionable manner, than the United Stales Hank did, and the success ful establishment of the large hanks now or ganizing in the South, Hast and West, some of them with a capital of 50 millions, will help to render the cicdit ofa Mammoth National Hank no longer the useful commercial agent it has been, and thus deprive the advocates of such an institution of tbs plausible argument of its necessity. I inexpedient, because aU. 8. Dunk with ils 50 millions of capital, would add loan already u dnnd int currency, and by its oper ation in reducing this redundancy in die issues of its rival State competitors, it would oppress ihc local hanks, and thus through them in crease the pecuniary embarrassments of the people. Dangerous, because, if re-establish ed, it must now he done by u party —not by die nation. Os course, it will he hound by gratitude and Interest to sustain that party, in 1 whatever it chooses to do. Willi such a mil. lion ally, what might not that parly effect ? Would the liberties ol die country he beyond ils grasp ? 1 would oppose it on these grounds even if the constitutional difficulty were re moved by the solemn act of the parties to the Federal compact. The providential circumstances alluded to, ’ are those which led to the proposition ofa di vorce of government and banks, and the es tablishment of an independent treasury, in which the government shall keep (he public funds by its own responsible officers under proper guarantees for its safety and constant available readiness to meet the public exigen cies.—This scheme is the more recommended to us, as its principal features were drawn by the good old republicans of 17H9, when they established the U. S. Treasury, and appointed a treasurer, who, under bond and security, had custody of the public funds, and ihc pub. lie dues were paid in the only constitutional currency and legal tender. And, however much it may now be thwarted and relarded, either by ignorance of its merits or interest in ils opposors, it is as certain to prevail finally, and that shortly too, as that my pen is hastily record ing the prediction.—Fori cannot conceive, that the good sense of my countrymen will long resist the truth of a proposition so self evidently plain, that it is prudent and right, and proper, fur every agent, whether individual or nation, so to keep his resources, that they shall always lie within his command and control to mo l his exigencies. All of you, who manage your allairs prudently, reduce the principle to practice every day. None ol'yup trust your money to irresponsible persons over whom you have litllo or no control, and without sufficient assurance that you shall get it again when you want it. With the sumo wis dom we wish the government of our country to keep ils own money, under the custody of officers appointed by law, with ample bond and security, so that it shall he always ready, in ils own pos session, as it were, lo pay the public debts, sus tain the public credit, and meet promptly all the exigencies of a great nation. An ambition to give (bis measure my bumble but zealous sup port, helped to draw me from toy cherished re ireat in private life. I consider ii 100 important a question lo be left to die decision of those whose attachment lo it can he in the h ast sus pected. I, therefore, rejoice, that my fellow-citi zens arc generally so alive lo its importance as to ho determined to make it a test question, without regard lo the old lines of parly division which lately distinguished us. Tho propricly of such determination will he appaicnl on a inoinem’s reflection. The establishment ofa United Slates Hank and the election of Mr. Clay to die presi dency ore, with many convertible terms —syno nymous expressions. Mr. Clay’s prospects were never better. No time is to he lost in establish ing the policy yon approve and he condemns. The present candidates for congress whom yon shall select in October next, wili, in all probabili ty, help lo choose the next president of the Uni ■ ted Slates. If, then, you cherish die policy of an independent treasury and are unwilling to have its success jeoparded by tho election of the great champion of die antagonist scheme, bo careful you fix your approbation on the proper men— those who will truly represent your sentiments in both particulars at Washington City. If any of your candidates are wavering or uncertain—not clearly devoted lo an independent treasury, as a vital measure severing an unholy alliance, and commencing a new and brighter eta in our coun try’s annals, leave thorn, without regret, lo the support of those, who still advocate a mammoth [ national bank, or the exploded depositories. In regard to the Hi ale Hanks, as deposito, 1 res of ihc public funds, I was always opposed to the measure, and in other capacity pred cl od some of tho disasters in wli.cli that policy has involved tin; country.

Gentlemen. —l have received your letter, to.. gelber with a copy of a resolution passed by my fellow-citizens of Franklin county, at n public nieeiing hold at Carncsviile on the Oth instant, appointing you a committee and authorizing you ns such to correspond with tho cundidalca for tho next (jmigrcss, and to call upon llioin for the ex pression of their opinions relative to the consti tutionality and expediency of n United h’lates Hank ; and also, tlicir choice for the next Presi dent, between Messrs Van Huron, (day, Webster and Harrison. I have long since been convinced, that it is beyond tbo constitutional power of Congress to charter a national hunk-. 1 believe that the government is competent, under an in dependent treasury system, to manage its fiscal affairs safely and economically, without the agen cy of such an institution—and therefore deem it inexpedient to create such a body. Tho dcmonslintion of power made by the laic 11. Stales liank, admonishes tno that it is the duty of every citizen who values the pure and inde pendent administration of tbo government, to oppose, with uncompromising determination, the creation of any institution which might, nt wilt, j successfully oppose the government by tbo cxer- I else of a corrupt injluence ; and which, if estab lished in connexion with die government, would 1 wield a power dangerous to Ibe liberties of die j people. 1 feel no hesitation in declaring in ic j 1 gnrd to my choice for the next President, that I prefer the incumbent, Martin Van Enron, to tho oilier gentlemen specified in tho resolution; I could support neither of the other candidates mentioned, believing as 1 do, that ibey respective ly advocate political doctrines, which, if carried .’ out, are well calculated to destroy the integrity of our confederacy and to do immeasurable inju ry to (ho section of country to which I have the honor to belong. I beg leavo also to assure you, that 1 am an j advocate lor the on Ii re separation of the govern ment from nil connexion with banks, j I regret very much that circumstances put It , nut of my power to visit my fellow-cilimis of the upper country, rind orally lo interchange [ opinions with them on the political topics of the day. f have frankly and hr cfly, gentlemen, answer, od I ho enquiries put to me in tho resolution, and , trusting that I have done satisfactorily m your selves and those whom you represent, I have the honor t., bo. Very rcspccfully, Vour ebb, serv’t. KOU r. W. POOLER. To Messrs. Whitten, Morris. Cooper, Mitchell, and Dean, committee, Franklin county. A Norm: a I u imiovkmk.vt.—Tho correspond ent ol the Uostoii Atlas, writing from iVow york, says:—"l have seen a model of tho late inven tion for propelling ships by out Consul at Liver pool. It is on the principle of (be until. It is well known that a boat of similar size and build, wiib one rowed by lour men, can bo sculled with otic oar as last as the latte; can be propelled. If, then, you can bring the power of four men lo bear upon the sculling yar, your boat must go i four times as fast, baling the additional resistance that is brought into play by the increased speed of the body through (ho water. This invention will break up the present system of wheel pad dling and its enormous engines in tutu. Tho sculling wheels are placed under water, on either side ol ibo vessel near the stern. There will bo no further use lor a rudder, ihoiigh it may be re tained. The whole machinery is driven by two small engines about the size of those used on rail road locomotives. The invention is lo be applied to the ship Star on her next trip to Liverpool, she having been purchased lor that purpose by her indefatigable commander, Capt. Clover, liy this invention a degree of resistance is obtained in the water that no paddle wheel can ever he brought lu exercise. Mark my prediction. This discovery will entirely supeisede the present system of pro pelling vessels by immense paddle wheels and huge engines. The construction of the semi wheel is such that it oilers no impediment lo the speed of the vessel, even if the machinery he not in motion. I have seen it all, —and all I have in say to Americans is—wait till tho Star be fitted up, before you engage in steam navigation across flic Ailaruic.
