THE NATIONAL BANK QUESTION.
TBt EDITORS OF TUR LYX< UOURO X 111-
oima.
Gentlemen 1 am indebted to the ntten
linfi of a friend in Kicltinoiid lor a sight ul
your paper oftlie 21st msl, containing some
comments on a card winch 1 recently pub
lished in the Whig.
Yvur comments arc rcsonably candid, yet
your publication of my letter w.mld nave been
fairer. But of this omission Ido nut coin,
plain, my own experience supplying me with
the knowledge of its being frequently incon
venient, sometimes impracticably, fur Editors
to publish at length that upon winch they com
ment. it is, however, generally in an Edi
tor's power, by abridged extracts, to furnish
his readers some guess of the chef position,
arguments and course o( reasoning ol Ins op
ponent, It is obvious that, in respect to these
particulars, your readers are nearly as much
in the dark concerning my card, as they were
before tlic Virginian of the 21st was published.
This circumstance constitutes for me some
thing like a claim to a place in your columns,
which, however, i should nut assert, except
that your paper is the organ of the community
in which my early manhood was passed, ami
winch I have not ceased to regard with foel
ings which that fact inspires.
A few words, then, not ao much in reply as
illustration, and wholly exempt from the spir
it of controversy, and in Uiese, I shall observe
no other order than the suggestions of my
In nd at the moment.
1. I regret deeply to sec the Virginian and
ntheijWhig papers,while they acknowledge it
to be imiiassih/e (as it undeniably is) to in
duce the Federal authorities to charter a new
Bank of the United .Slates until at Kiel the
lime of the present Congress bax expired, if
not the present Presidential term, yet unremit
tingly argue in favor ot one. If n Federal
Bank be out oftlic question, as all k> I eve, feel
and know, why inccsranlly urge its adoption?
Toe people ot ciery Stale, save possibly .Mas
sachusetts, Kentucky, Mississippi and f/iutsi.
ana, arc hoselilo to such an institution. Tiny
have repeatedly, even I'unsylvania Ircrsollj
declared their opposition witiini a lew yours,
and that with a loudness of voice and vchem
cnee of tone never heard before in this goner
•lion. Do they who continue to urge u Nu
lionet Bank hope to overrule the objections
of (bis great and angry majority, governed in
tbuir objections by passiotis and prejudices
am mg the deepest seated and most mil l' ll-
Hal in human nature.—aye,mid by rensons to i,
winch, if Inapplicable to tins late Hank, are, in
the abstract, just, well founded, patriotic, and
1 had almost said holy! If there are tiny on
terlainuig such loud hopes, they have little
knowledge of the American peop'c, i n I n hap
py conceit of their own persuasive po-vun 1 ,
who expect to convince where Mr. MuDni' |
fie, Clay, Webster, mid above all, experience I
has tailed. So long is the agricultural inter
est of the Untied States predominates over j
the mercantile, the people w.ll ho opposed '
to a national bank,oß Iveiily believe they
are to all .hanks; an opposition in which 1‘
for on*?, would co with them fto the ,cxter.
tninilion Os the whole tribe, did I not clearly
perceive banks to he one of those evils, which,
nncu admitted into a state, cun never niter
wards he eradicated Not that I doubt the
capacity of bunks for usefulness, wisely re
»inctod, l>ul there is an inherent tendency in
the system to vice, to accumulate irresponsi
ble power io n few hand*, to make the rich
richer, and the pour poorer, and to convulse
society by expansions and contractions, which
it is difficult if not impossible to rostrum.—
The truth is, that banks exist but tor the sin
gle purpose of making six and three quarters
per cent, on so many hundreds of thousands
of dollars. What contr.bit'es to tins sol.tary
object is good in their eyes; nil else is had, or
indifferent at most. The Dneclur when he
enters the hanking house, is hound, as ml
honest man, to drop the idividnal, and
assume the mere money dealer, lie mu.-t
die:ard ad personal sympathies and social
ties, end look only to the six percent, of the
corporation whoso interest lie watches.
That interest must ho protected, whoever
differs, whether the immediate community or
the country. A bank lias no sympathies, af
fections, friendship, patriotism, or, as Sir Ed
ward coke summed up in one word,no soul.—
It wss brought into life to make money,
hye# (or nothing else, and Imply dies when
ft ceases to make money. And nil this
feeing certainly true, who can call for
• bank except it help his iimqcdiate interest l
The vast proportion oftlie people arc untouch
ed in this wty, and licnea Jhoy dislike nil
banks, exactly as lio-y jia jmisorly cIV-T's*
whose souls are in their money bags. The
dislike is strung against their own banks—
banks chartered by their domestic government
—by themselves. How much stronger is it
naturally sgiinsl n Federal Dank—a bank
chartered by a power which they have so great
rcison to dread ss more dangerous to liberty
than the united arms ol all Europe! For,
look where we may, to whateverqmrter oftho
heavens, and wo behold not a cloud as big
as your hand to threaten the liberties of this
country, save only that which has exhaled
from tha corrupt ons and putrefactions at
Washington.
I conclude,from the known principles of hu
man nature, winch rarely, when closely atten
ded to, inisleadjtbo enquirer,that the people,are
in opposition to the establishment ol a Nation
al Bank; and this a priori conclusion is abund
antly confirmed by the events of the I ist live
years. I am equally convinced, as 1 think
every candid mind must lie, also, that their
hostility <s impregnable to reason, and even lo
interest ilselt, and that therefore the question I
ought lo be considered as adjuged and deter
mined finally, at least untd the existing gen- i
oration of men is shoved elf the stage by a I
new one of different habitudes and sentiments, j
In this 1 find nothing to regret ; fur although,
with much chastity of taste and felicity of
wit you denominate my apprehensions Irnm
a new Federal Bank “a bugaboo," no patriot,
in my opinion, can discover a fit cause for
levity or merriment in a National Bank of!
fitly millions of capital, aided by 20 millions j
of annual revenue deposited by the Govern- (
ment, located in a city of corrupt politics, •
and organized by a political party which, in i
the Uriel period of nine years, lias syalcinati- 1
zed corruption, and in New \urk notorious- i
ly maintains its ascendancy by the very means
of using the banks as polit.cal machines. You
argue that a National Bank, having been -
twice tried and each time found safe Host (he
dangers I tear from a new one, that tlierelure
it may bn revived with equal and continued’
safety. I argue that in such a case the past I
is no guarantee for the future—that the hun
esiy and independence of the late hanks lur.
uish no possible security for the integrity of a i
future one—that there is an innate tendency j
both in the Federal Executive ami such an i
institution lo strengthen and perpetuate its
power—and that Hus proclivity, cun,j me
tor the with past exp .'notice, |
would lead to a conjunction of the two—a
conjunction that might well infuse alarm into |
the most thoughtless mind. With great de-1
ferencc, I submit that my argument is more
philosophical, if I may say so, than your’s.
Von draw your deduction from the principle*
it- elf. ,
f well know fho advantages of n National
Bank, as the creator and protector of a sound
an eq taf e ireonof i but 1 would not weigh an
equal anrren-y, for n moment, against tin-

To return lo the text—l tegrcl ths enntinn
»l and un-uspended call for a National Bank
'■ for pnry reasons: It is indeed quite barm
'• less as it respects the establishment ot a new
0 Bank, but is it infinitely miachcvious to tin
'* Wings— The suspicion that the Whig part;
favored that institution has been widely per
>! mcioiis to Us interests. The accusation ha,
II been every where made, though often knowi
' | by the accuser to be utiloimdod, and has bor
11 j rowed a slmw of truth from the imprudent am
i bootless clamor in favor of a Bank, kept u|
e by u portion ot the Whigs. A very consider
’ able division in the Jackson party are secret
ly in favor ol a Bank, but they have the dis
1 crotion to abstain from insisting where they
> perceive it would be unavailing. The consc
‘ qucnce, is, that the Jackson party rccomtnendi
“ itself to the mass of the people as the exclu
1 sive fees of a Bank, and by the same procesi
J' that they acquire the merit of hostiUy lost
• odious nn institution, devolves upon the
Wings llili und.vided but unjust dpprdbritnr
> of being its only friends. The Bank lias beer
1 the great hinge of national affairs since 18151
1 Its excessive unpopularity explains the mys
* 'cry of Gen. Jackson's Unbounded and inor
dinate influence, which, instead of rfiniiniblimg

upon the dopositev, w out on to increase, pre
cisely because the Bank was the victim, ami
1 its prostration and suppression the object ul
Ins illegal enlcrpriids. To the philosophical
1 politician this circumstance supplies the moat
1 important instruction. Bat it has been to
much overlooked by those who had the hones
ty to convert it to patriotic purposes, while
j. the demagogues have found it a royal road
lo popular favor, preferment and influence.
Von may observe them now, whenever they
have an object lo effect, invariably have re

1 acme of whose actual offending, proved, no
j far as I can learn, was the loan of $52,000 lo
j an Editor, and the publication of certain

| When it was necessary to divert popular at-
I Icntion from the ultra federal doctrines ot the
' proclamation, Biddle's Bank was held tip by
| the hair of Ins head, and the expedient was
I found sovereign. When the removal of the
deposits* anil iib train of despotic measures
had to be defended, Biddle's Bank was still
the tub to the whale, which the whale swat,
lowed with the utmost alacrity. When I’re
sidclial dictation of his successor was de

j again paraded, and with the same effect •
When it became nn object to destroy popular
confidence in Mr. Leigh, the Bank was put

There is now a luckless split in the Van Hu
ron raiiks,and to heal the schism my old friend
of the Enquirer is at it again,thundering away
at Biddle mid his Bank. Mr. Hives has run |,j 8

Benton, mid those who hove read his speech

lion consists of invectives "gainst Biddle's
Bank anti an enumeration and preference- ov
erjMr.t Tlhoun, of his long and arduous send
ees against it. 1 have not seen Major Gar
land's (Marshall Ney—“Soldiers! r |g|,t ( 0

a pcppur-curn that lie 100 flares up against
Biddle and his Bunk, although the Madiso
nian, the Rives organ, on the day after it was
delivered, most md-udroitly styles it the
ghost of a Bunk,
Now, ills time for ill# Whigs to pursue the
Homan maxim, and learn from their enemies
They have seen for years every Jackson dema
gogue, when he had o point lo carry, a foe to pul
down, or a scrap* lo gut out of, stake his cause
upon the unpopularity ol a National Bank, and
w ith invariable success. Upon (but subject they
have seen and daily see, the people, through the
mstiumeiilnlily ol their prejudices, gulled with
the most pci loot facility and infallible certainty
by the grossest pretenders. They have seen Gen.
■lucksort, by bis illegal warfare against it, instead
ot uei,. ’ iuineaciiou !” r violations of the law, in
vest himself w ith a far
eclipsing that derived from his achieve."""'"
arms, ami u substantial power many degrees ex
ceeding that ol sceptred monarch". The inference
is irresistible—that a National Dank is, to the
multitude, of oil things the mast odious, and that
it will sink the puily that attempts to shoulder it:
And the plain lesson inculcated by the inference
is, lo desist from asking for that which is not to
ho had, and which cannot he asked for without
fatal injury to the great cause of reform and the
Constitution. The Whigs, lo make this cause
triumphant, must acquire and retain popular confix
defied,which, in the present stale of Iho popular
mind, no parly sustaining a bank, as a puny, can
possibly do. Allow me to respectfully suggest
that lo argue in behalf of a National Bank is a .
pernicious as “nvir- to press Hie question,"
-. You say “you could not but be slruck by
lire fact that my preference for the Suit-Treasury
system is not (in the card I published) vindicated

MR. FORBES’S BENEFIT.
I I solicit, Mr. Editor, a space in Iho columns of
’ your paper, lo call attention lo Ihe claims or iner
! its of a most estimable and worthy gentleman,
us well ns very able and interesting actor, and ju
dicious and meritorious manager. Though a dc
, cided At jealous friend of the Theatre,as an insti
tution, yet 1 am fully conscious that it is capable
alike of good and evil, and that its virtues, and
benign mid meliorating influences on society, for
which 1 esteem and value it, are dependent, al
most entirely oil Die manner in which it is con
ductsdi And certainly, tho mode in which it has
been managed in this city,mainly,for many years
past, has been calculated lo do it more injury,
than all the opposition of its ordinary enemies.
Disgusted with Die vulgar, low, and obscene ex
hibitions which 1 frequently witnessed upon its
boards, in negro songs and characters,coarse jests,
and such vicious and obscene farces as “the Bath
Hoad,'' or "Married yesterday,” &c. &c- together
with the consequent disorderly conduct ol the,
audience, 1 hud not merely lost all interest in it,
but bad begun to look upon it as a moral nuisance
which every sincere trioiul oi virtue, morality,
and good order, was bound lo use his efforts to
abate, or at least to withdraw from it his counton
-e ami s '.’<mott. While entertaining these

Don, ns conducted, and indulge in an amusement
the most rational, refined, and instructive, I heard
with pleasure of the engagement of Mr. Fonnss,
to become its Manager i for the favorable impres
sion madu by bis amiable and gentlemanly man
ners and appearance, and what I had casually
heaid of his character, revived my hopes of its
reformation, under his auspices ; and 1 am grati
fied lo say, Dial they have not boon disappointed;
True all lias not been done Dut could bo wished;
but yet much, very much, toward it—probably all
that was practicable, ao far—enough, I think, at
. least lo satisfy us Dial if it be properly appreci
ated and sustained, all that is reasonably desirable
will be effected, and soon—as soon as the pat
ronage awarded will justify it—and sooner cannot
reasonably be expected. A stock company ba*
be cn employed, unquestionably, the best, and the
most respectable, lake it altogether, that has over
been presented in Augusta—respectable, too, not
alone in the professional, bul private cbaract ct
and deportment, also, of its members—a matte 1
f no slight moment to the community, and the
friends of the Drama, and not a little ere ditable lo
t h« manager, who selected it; for ibe intolligen t
and virtuous cannot long derive pleasure or seek
rational amusement, to say nothing of moral in
1 (crest, instruction, and elegant refinement, from a
Source which they do not morally respect aa i
, approve. The Orchestra is decidedly superior to
[ any which has preceded it, and possesses of
i itself, attractions, and sources of refined interest
and pleasure, of peculiar power. Tho Flute of
I Mr. Thxvkhs, especially, is most exquisite and
admirable ; as is also the Piano of Mr. Ivk«skv ;
I and the Violins are very excellent. 1 regret that
j the deportment of one or two oftho younger mem
t tiers, in climbing over Die buck of their seals lo
. and from the pit, laughing and chatting with each
’ other and the audience,eyeing and commenting on
‘ (bit's B around,Diem, and parlieutaily the ladies in
\ Die boxes, and altogether, offen rendering Diem
t relves’inore conspicuous than the actors, and very
1 unpleasantly distracting the attention of the au
l dienco —is mil as commendable and agreeable as
" their music. The interior of Dio Theatre has
'* , been newly painted and decorated, and very
tastefully, so far as its exceedingly awkward and
il injudicious e,instruction would |H*rmit ; and si r.

■I Ihe •rll«t, have I turn mailr id tin* arciwwy.
The order, too, though not all.-golhcr such a»
' one might wi«h it, haa Itcen greatly improved;
|| and llie rnlertainmeHu have been Ouch,generally
h both in their (selection and alyle of jtt 1 1 tonilancea
a* to deaerva the approbation, arid libera! patron,
age, of an enlightened, refined, and virtooua com
_ munity. Engagement* have been made with
many of the rnoat distinguished actorr and ac
“ tioaaea of the country; arid indeed a moat liberal
and enterprising deposition has Iteen manifested
throughout the whole management, and the
~ strongest disposition to deserve llie approbation
and encouragement of Ihe public.
Added to all Ibis, a circumstance has come
within my knowledge, and whit-h 1 cannot refrain
rc here from mentioning, in the highest degree
creditable to the judgment and discretion of the
manager, and his respect for llie interests and
us feelings of the community in which he is placed;
u- and which, while it shows him to lie peculiarly
jr fitted for his station among us, cannot fail to
i- command the confidence of the community, and
is its most respectful and grateful regard. It having
er been suggested to him, at the commencement of
lha season, that some of our citizens had spoken |
of the tragedy of Othello, a» utterly inconsistent'
j with the character of our institutions, and highly |
improper for representation among them, he
promptly replied that he fully concurred with
them, and fell no hesitation in assuring them that
it should never lie played in the Augusta Thea
tre, while ho is manager of it, What arc hi s
y opinions of our Institutions I know not—it mal
y lers not. Suffice it that his conduct manifests
•hat respectful deference for the feelings, iutcrests
,f and opinions of the community in which he is
e situa cd, which is ever characteristic of an cnliglr
(l tened, liberal, and virtuous mind; and I foci as
n sured cannot fail, in these times of vicious fanati
cism, assault, and abuse, to make that grateful
, and respect impression upon the feelings of every
0 intelligent Southerner, that it has upon mine.
As this tragedy of Othello is sustained by the
character of Shakespeare, and has been played i
f our community without any 6pcn manifestation
[ of disapprobation, ; u nature all ,l tendency cay
”bi have occurred to all ; but 1 feci assured
(] I
if they have not, that no one will doubt, after re
-1 fleeting on them, that they are utterly and strong
ly at war with the spirit and character of our
d domestic institutions—yea, and with truth and
s nature, 100, as well us revolting to proper decency
,[ and delicacy. Is the character of Othello eonsis
r- tent with that of the negro, any where even in its
„ highest stale of refinement and civilization! or is
( it consistent with our duly, interest,or humanity,
. In place such an exciting (however false and un
ii natural;) picture of “black” and “ihicklipped”
excellence hetoro those, whoso contentment, and
happiness, as well as usefulness, depend chiefly
on their instinctive conviction of that natural
and radical inferiority, which is proved beyond
j doubt by the whole history of their race? What
delicate refined, and beautiful female, like Vies
r
demon,,i, can contemplate herself in Ihe situation
of boat character, without the most revolting clis
f gust—or believe that any such could possibly dis
t regard a negro’s color in (ho contemplation o( his
- character, however elevated, and “»co (a real)
Othello's visage in his mindl” Faugh! Why
oven whore abolition and amalgamation are most
rife, the actor wisely) if not necessarily, sacrifices
consistency, and the real color of Othello, to the
natural and piopcr feelings and taste of the autli"
ence, and brings the latter as far as possible within
the pale of common decency, nature, truth, and
credibility. Ho says, in the text, "I am black,”
and is spoken of as “thick-lipped Othello” by
those around him, yet appears in color any thing
hut consistent with such a description. And
what can prove more strongly than this, the re
volting and unnatural falsity and absurdity of the
character itself I It matters not what the defer
ence felt for or due to the author, on the power
ful and touching interest he has given to the
character, and the scenes connected with it—
nothing can possibly reconcile cither with truth
and nature. No one will attempt it.
Os like character and tendency, as connected

the acting drama, though not so frequently in
troduced upon the Stage: “ The Revenge,” “ The

the one,will reject the others, also, and with them,
I trust the low, vulgar, and senseless negro songs,
which nro objectionable, though in a less degree,

MILLEDGEVILLE, Nov. 11, 183 T.
After closing my letter yesterday the General
Assembly continued in session until the elections
for Judges were gone through with.
In the Oakmulgcc Circuit John G. Polbill was
re-elected by a parly vole over Col. Y.P. King,
whoso name was used by his friends without his
. knowledge.
In the Flint Oireuit Angus M. J). King was
j rc-elcctcd over Jas. Smith. On Ihe first ballot,
j Col. Chappell’s name was used by his friends,
and on the second ballot his name being dropped
Mr. King was elected, receiving 167 vstes.
In the Southern Circuit, C. B. Cole was elect
cd over the present incumbent Judge Morgan, &
Mr. Saftbld of Washington county —
Cole, 131 votes,
Morgan, 110
Soffold, 19
Col. Charles 11. Nelson, arrived here this
morning with about 12 or 1500 mounted men
raised in the Cherokee,|and adjacent counties, on
their way to Florida. Col. Nelson, bad been
invited to do so by Gen. Call.—A Resolution
was offered in the House this morning authoriz
ing the Governs! to advance the sum of #15,000,
to defray ike expenses of these troops to the
sccnq of action, but was postponed until Monday.
It was not contemplated to give them money, but
only advance it until refunded by the Gen. Gov
eminent. The marching of this corps to Florida
while it bears testimony to the chivalry and cour
age of the mountain boys, proves conclusively
that if the cherokec country can spare 1500 men
to go to Florida, they do not anticipate any dan
ger from the cherokcos, and that Gov. Schley’s
recent warlike preparations were intended to
operate more against his political opponents then
the Indians.
At 10 o’clock to day the I.cgislatufc proceeded
to tho Election of Attorney and Solicitors Gener
al, which resulted as follows:
For the Middle Circuit

Thk State Shall Hate.
T K N THOUSAND If
GI.ORY ENOUGH FOR THREE DAYS.
Well asu Buavelt Done, —Our friends in
tiro country will rejoice to learn that the Whigs of
New York have done their duly. Loco-focoism
has sustained such a defeat as will put it down
and keep it down-we (rust forever, Tho Sen
atorial ticket was canvassed last night, anduhe
glorious result is the election of Gulian C. Ver
planck by a majority of 2663 in the city, and of
167 in King’s country,
The Whig Assembly ticket is also elected by a
largo majority, but the official returns are not yet
known.
East November, Marcy (V. B.) had a majority
of 592 in these wards over Buel ( W.) F. A. Tal
madge (W.) was the candidate on three different
tickets, vir; Whig, Native American and Loco
Foco, and received a majority of 1331 votes over
Morgan L. Smith, the Tammany candidate.
At the charter election of April last, Mr. Clark
(W.) received 17,044 votes for mayor, while his
opponents, Messrs. Morgan and Jaqucs, received
together 17,955 votes, or a majority of 911 of the
whole number given. Assuming this (latest)
vote as the standard, the glorious result is a Whig
gain in six months of nearly FOUR THOUS
AND VOTES,
Uoxic, Wheeler, and Acker, arc also elected.
There has been no splitting of tickets or. the pan
ofthc ' ani * all tll , e ‘ r candidates ate elected.
Tho whole number o! votes .» —'Wsjolo l
number at the election for mayor, in April 34,999,
'• Thus far wo published at an early hour this
morning, for tho benefit of our country friends.
Up to one o’clock tho official returns had not
been completed. Sullicient, however, is known
Instate that the majority for GULIAN C. VER
PLANCK for Senator, will bo about THREE
THOUSAND, and that our whole ticket for As
sembly is elected by a still larger majority
Mr HOXIE’S majority will be about the
same as that of Mr. Vcrplnnck.
Ricbmonii County. —Garrisoned as it is with
a horde ofoflice holders, so far as heard from, has
elected a good Whig by a majority of 18.
Kings County. —The Whig majority for
members of Ascembly is 150.
Queens Losntt. John A King’s majority
is 264 over his Van Huron opponent.
Westchester County,—The only town
heard from, so far, is Cortland, which gives an
average Whig majority of 117.
Dutchess County.—We have returns from
five towns, which give a Whig majority of 821.
Columbia County —It is neatly certain that
the Whig ticket is elected in this county.
Albany County.—Albany city haa given a
handsome Whig majority, anil there is hut little
doubt that the whole county has gone the same
way.
Saratoga County.—We have heard suffi
cient from the interior towns of the county to
j render the election of out Whig sheriff certain.
Onei rr a County.— Tho whigs may probably
carry this county, as there arc three tickets run
tor the Assembly.
