EDAIIWAH, I SJII’XJ/XaAiT, March 8, 1834. Some short lime ago, we remarked with some surprise that the certificate of Air. Olin’s offi cial chai actei had not been signed by all his associates in the Faculty of Franklin College, since then we learu that the certificate was not presented io those whose names do not appear, this is sufficient.

Sir—l have always held lhe opinion, that the choice oi Gitiel Magistrate of right be longed to the People, and the best interest of the emm ry requires that he should hold his | trust directly hom the freemen over whom he ! is .o preside. In (he formation of our Territorial Govern ment, immediately alter lhe cession of Florida, the recognition <4 ibis principle would have been unwise if not impraciiaable. Our increased population at this time, and I ils present condition, justify (he conclusion, that the People of Florida would exercise this power with credit to themselves and advantage to the country, i Congress in its wisdom can frame the organic law, to secure the interests of tho United States which may be confined to the Governor, and confer on the Peopled the Territory this de sirable privilege. Entertaining these views and principles I deem it not improper to slate to the Council, that any measure they may adopt to obtain this gi ant of power from Congress, will receive my approbation and cordial concurrence. I am respectfidv, your obedient servant, AVI LLI AM P. DUVAL. I And thereupon on motion, referred io a i Select Committee--Messrs. Blount, Smith Robinson & Gautier, wete appointed there on. January, 29th, 1834. Mr. Blount, from said committee, made the following report, which was read and adopted, and on motion of Mr. Bulloch, 500 copies or dered io be printed. The select Committee to whom Was refer red the resolution in ‘“'.don to “The Aler . chant- ‘‘lamers’ Bank of Magnolia,” beg ■ leave to make the following , REPORT: Thar on Monday last, they proceeded to the I town ot Magnolia, and commenced their inves l ligation of the affairs of the institution and found thai on Saturday, the 25>h instant, when (h. B ink suspended payment, lhe notes in cir culation amounted to the sum of Sixty-five thousand sir hundred and eighteen, dollars, as appears by its register of notes issued. That to meet this circulation, they have in notes dis counted, past due and running to maturity, pay able at Magnolia, the sum of Seventy five thousand sir hundred and three dollars thirty six e n s,rd which sum two thousand seven hundred and seven dollars, is due from citizens of Leon county, unconnected with the institu tion.—t-c b.d mce, Seventy-two thousand eight hundred and ninety six dollars, thirty -sir centSj is due by ’Thomas G. Gordon, Thomas Pace, and A. E. Patton, all of which will more fully appear by reference to the list of notes dis i counted hereto annexed, and mzrked No. 1 | 'I he Committee after examining the notes i discounted payable at Magnolia proceeded to ascertain the situation of tho balances that ap i pear by the state of the Bank hereto appended I marked No. 2 to he due at New York, Chailcs- I ton and in Georgia. The examination result- I cd in the fact that although the bank stetement I exhibits large balances to b<» due at the afore ] said pl.ices, the Buis of Exchange and Checks I upon which those accounts were predicated, were still in Bink sealed up by tho President who is now absent at lhe North with directions not to bo opened Dnlil his return. The Cashier however, opened the package in the presence of the Committee, ami the contents proved to be, B Ils of Exchange tnd Checks to (ho iinoiini oi Fifty one thous m l seven hun dred and eighty-nine dollars, forty-six rents. ■'S it appears by the statement marked No. 3. The drawers of these bills of Exchange and Checks ero Thom. G. Gordon and Thomas Paco. Tin Committee in the discharge of their du ty, considered it important to ascertain in what m uinei the directors had performed their func tions and the result- of their investigation was that on 'ln- I2di Nov. last, the following reso lution was adopted: J “Resolved, That iho President, with the Cashiei under his directions, constitute a Board for (he transaction of all business relating to this Bank during lhe absence of a board. Signed. JEREMIAH POWELL.” On that day Mr. Powell resigned his situa tion as President, and Mr. T. G. Gordon was elected to fill lhe vacancy: Under this resolu tion Mr. Gordon discharged allphe duties of (lie board until lhe 27th of November last, a boiu which time tie left the territory, delegated all his powers to the Cashier by the following order. “Magnolia, 27'h Nov. 1833. “Ordered, that the Cashier be a board for the transaction of all business relating to this Bank, during the absence of the President, and of the Board of Directors. THOMAS G. GORDON, Pt esident.” The Cashier from that period up to the 23th inst. discharged (he duties of the President, Cashier and Directors! Such a course of pro ceeding, it is unnecessary for the Committee to say was illegal, and in direct violation of the charter ot lhe Bank. By an act of the last session, it is required, that the different banks of the territory shall by their Ptesident and Cashier, render a true and correct statement of all their affairs, under oath to the governor on lhe first Monday of November in each and every’ year to be by him submitted to the council. This Bank in pursuance of the requsitions us the said act, did make the return hereto annexed, marked No. 4. by Jeremiah Powell, President, and Seix as, Cashier, under oath, on tho first Monday of November, last, stating that they had on hand lhe sum ot Nineteen thousand nine hun dred and twenty-nine dollars, which appear by the said statement to he available funds. Up on inqui:ing of the Cashier, the Committee as certained, that of the said sum of 19.929 dol lars, lhe sum of 10.500 dollars, was in THOM AS PACE’S ( HECKS on Banks in Geor gia, and contained tn tho scaled packages be . fore referred to ! J j The committee deemed ?t unnecessary to’ I recommend’the adoption of any measures a-; ' gainst the institution, inasmuch, as the credit- ! i ors of the Bank have instituted legal pro ; ceedings, against it, and tho assets are now jin the hands of receivers appointed by the I Judge of ihe Middle District. j . The Committee have come to the conclusion • i that if Gordon, Pace, and Patton pay the) - amounts of their several liabilities, tho B ink ) will be amply able to redeem its circulation; if ' j (hey do not, it will be an entire loss to a con-i [ siding and unsuspecting community.

ST/f 7'E 8.0 LEtfE/GATF. j The aspect of affairs tn the Cherokee coun | try, is assuming a character and complexion, ' demanding not only the vigilance of the gov i er«fttent, but the sober consideration of every ; citizen who regards lhe sovereignly of the state or the rights of ihe people* The state oPGeorgia, a few years since, act ing upon her own consiiiuiion.il sovereignty, determined to distribute that portion of her ter ritory then occupied by the Cherokee Indians, • and accordingly it w >s surveyed: thrown into i the wheels of the Lotteries—d-rawn ou : , and thereby became lhe property of individuals. The opposition to this measure, both in and out of Georgia, and the various arguments brought forward to defeat it, are very fa miliar io the writer, and m.iy be spokenof moie al ’ u 11101 ’ e convenient season.” ine measure, however, met the public ap ptobation by an .overwlielinning majority in (he state, and was fully sustained by that gallant and patriotic old citizen, woo sits at die iiead of our General Gnveinmeui. Thus sustained in her policy, the state pro ceeded to organize the country, by laying out a number of counties, and a judicial circuit, and to appoint the proper officers for exe cuting the laws of (lie State. i The counties have elected their officers, and ’sent their representatives to the Legislature, ’who have taken their full share in legislating I for lhe state. A Judge of tho superior courts j was appointed, who has been for more than a I year, exercising iurijdictioii ovei the people .by state authority, and who is sworn to exe | cute the laws of the stale, within its jurisdic tion. Thus organized, wc had hoped that tho hand ful of Cherokees who still lingered upon our tsoil, would euher submit quietly to our laws, ior accept the boon offered by the General Government, of removing to a country, far bel ter suited to their habits and pursuits.— Os one thing at least, wc fell confident; that . however restless the Indians might be; whaicv ! er steps their counsellors might advise—what ever interest, Wirt, Webster, Freiinghuyscn Henry Clay and the Supreme Coan might take in the mailer, the officers appointed by lhe state, and charged with the execution of her laws, would under no circumstances be instru-< mental in continuing oid difficulties or raising tup new ones; but in this we have been sadiv disappointed by recent intelligence from that country. A bill of injunction drawn np at the instance ' of \v titer Adair and John T. Adair, charging ih.it they arc natives irf the Cherokee nation of I Indians; and asserting the Cherokees to be tin , independent nation, has been sanctioned amU served upon Wm. G. Springer esq. the states agent, for the purpose of restraining him from executing an important act of the last legisla-’ ture, wherebv many good citizens who are en- ' titled ta grants for their lands, will be kept out! of possession, and excluded from all the bene- ; fits intended by lhe act in question; Bat the evil will not stop here. If tho State’s 1 agent is to be arrested in-the discharge of his : duties, because ihe Cherokees are .a sovereign nation, dvery individuid who has drawn or pur chased land in that territory, may cxceptasim ilar process against himself in behalf of some' sovereign Cherokee who may please to set up ' iiis chum. It is time for the people to look to their in terests—*-to vindicate their rights, and stand by, and snppcrt those, who aro willing to execute' the laws. The Judge may grant injunctions—lie may' make decrees, —he may send out attachments ! for contempts—he may imprison our citizens—' if he can; bu» there is a spirit among the white men of Georgia, that will look down Judge) Hooper and his Indian injunctions; The Ex-i '•entive will do his duty and lhe people will sus- ) tain him. He will maintain their rights with firmness and independence—and they will stand by him with strength and spirit. DEATH OF JUDGE BOULDIN In the death of this gentleman, while in the; act of of announcing on the floor of Congress, the decease of his predecessor, we meet with one of those striking and inscrutable co-inci- j dences, calculated to impress the mind with a; superstitious awe. Strange—passing strange — that he on whom devolved the duty of paving the posthumous tribute to another, in the very moment of ns performance, while eveiy ear was attentive to his accents, and every heart ready) to yield the sympathetic response, should have , been,himself struck dow i bv ihe unseen, but un eiring shaft of death ! Weil may such an even' ; have wrung with maddening agony, the bosom, > stoic imbfierencr must have caught the infec tions grief of so appaling a scene. ' In addition to the account of this sad anti j ' extraordiua-ry occurrence, given by our Wash- j ington correspondent, we give below a notice of it from the United States Telegraph. ! “It becomes our painful duty to annoiice the! : sudden and lamented death of the the Honora- , ble Mr. Bouldin, nt Virginia. But an houi be fore, he was in fine health. E’er zealous to .defend the lights anti interests of his constitu ents, against the encroahments of power, he was peculiarly animated on the subject which is now so deeply agitating the public mind.— . He had obtained the floor, and before proceed-, ing !.-> the argumonf, vv.is speaking of the death of his illustti >us predecessor, Mr. John Ran dolph, of Roanoke, and was about to assign (he reasons which had prevented lhe official an nouncement of that event, when his own life was arrested. He paused, and fell. Imme diate medical aid was tried, but ihe spirit fled. “It is impossible to conceive of lhe deep sensation produced. Both Houses immediate ly adjourned. The agony of his amiable wife, i who was present, added to •ht» poign tncy of i feeling, which wrung tears from the sympathiz i ing fiiends who witnessed this .filleting dispeu i sation. 'There me times when neither the pen or the tongue, can give utterance w the deep feelings which overwhelm us. Our natures I are so constituted; and wo feel unable to speak j ol ihe virtuesand services of the lamented dead, as they deserve to be spoken of. ILs memory will be engraven on the hi story of his country, and his loss will be deplored by a large circle of admiring fiiends. To an abler pen will be confided the mournful task of tracing lus culo cy‘ , “Tho following is our reporter’s sketch of his lasi words, which are given vmba.im, as they may derive an interest from the peculiar circum- j stances attending their delivery. “'The House then took up the subject of the removal of lhe deposites. Mr. Bouldin, oi Virginia, was entitled to the floor. “Mr. Bouldin rose, and spoke as follows: Mr. Speaker, before I ptocced to submit me few remarks I intend >o make the ’nei itsol line serious quest'on beto die House, I .vistj to auvert to the rebuke ’which I eave received, and hiivo borne with all due hiinrii.y, from mv I colleague. He slated to the House, and itulv, I that although Mr. Rmdoipii "as a meinoer elect of ttiis body, the fha of nis death hau not ; been announced on 'iiis floor. ' “Mr. Speaker, lam not in the habit of taking to mj self general i emarks; but when general re- ’ marks will apply to none else, or to no one else ;so appropriately, 1 am compelled to taice them ,to myself. My colleague did not so kindly ; suggest that this thing on Jit io be done, but another colleague in <lie most kind and delicate manner did suggest that it ought to be done.— Now, sir, as my bounden duty, I must toil my colieagn-o, and I must teii this House, avid I 1 must tell my cotisiiiuf-nis, tlie r '.ison why Joim ■ Ramlolph’s'ieath was not ann-oiinced. “But Mr. Speaker, 1 c.maot toil why that ; de am was ooi announced without telling what I j have told mv friends and more than one, i ' must tell, if 1 did that thing ’ [llere M.

It is not supposed, how. ver, that ) ‘lns salemn visit ition could have bec-o biough ) about by any mem d association of lhe memory ; of tiie decor,sed with die actual position ot the . living Representative. Tins remark is htZ trd ) ed because it happened to one of lhe Editors to ’ have casually conversed with Mr. B-mldiil on ■ tins vetv subject, at the tune ofthe motion, by one of th ?

This appeared to ihe writer to bo tho only ground on which Air. Bouldin refrained from what he appeared to be ; otherwise desirous of doing. Tho coincidence, : however, is not therefore the less, but rather the more, remarkable.” FRENCH MINISTER’S PARTY. That elegant and spirited writer, “'The Spy ! in Washington,” furnishes lhe following notice of M. Surruier’s party. On Friday evening Mr. Scrruicr the French Minister gave a splendid party. Tho houses of foreign ministers are neutral ground, and I j regret to add almost ihe only neutral ground , hero. It is delightful to he occasionally in a ' circle where pat ty dares not intrude its frown ing countenance. Until the year 1829, the lies- ) pilalitics of tho palace and of the members of { lhe cabinet were enjoyed without apprehension ' of intolerance or proscription. Not so now. 1 At those places there is a fawning and truckling ) disgusting to a proud spirited man. Without ! it you may expect to receive a eld and re- | pulsive salutation from the sycophants and pan- < surround you. Il is thus that the plea sures of tho social circle aro interrupted if not destroyed. Mr. Wcbsor was present. Contrary to his custom ho exhibited an open and disengaged | air as if he had spent all his life in courts. Among the young ladies who attracted ad- i miration, was the sprightly Miss Florida as i blooming as the orange blosom and as lovely as | its fruit. There was also a winning maiden of the i East whose intellectual bounty charmed all that enjoyed ihe felicity of her conversation. As for married ladies I could name some who contributed greatly to tho delight of the evening, hut perhaps it is hardly fair. Os her . however, who did lhe honor of her house in a manner so gracious and so engaging, I must be ; allowed to say she was the belle of her party. EXCITEMENT TN SOUTH CAROLINA. Various public meetings have been held in ihe mountain districts of that State, particularly ' in Greenville ami Spartanburg, in which they have solemnly resolved that the act for the mili tary organization of the State shall not be en- ' forced among them: They view it as a party j machine which by applying screws to the con science of their adversaries is to force them from office. On the llth day of April next, I new subordinate officers are to be elected ■ the State, the field officers having.! ’already been appointed by the General Assgc.k bly, and if any one is elected who refuses to swallow the new oath, whether it agree with his stomach, matters not, bis place is to be supplied by the Colonel ofthe Regiment, and the con scientious rascal is to be fined by a court mar- twenty dollars, from which sentence there is no appeal. Another clause of this despotic, act compels the militia to adopt lhe badge of Nullification the Palmcllo button. The peo ple of those districts have i esolved that they will use force rather than submit to such oppression. 'That they will liberate by force any one who may bo imprisoned under this la w; and unless lhe dominrnt parly stand by and see their laws openly derided & nullified, we see no alternative but civil war, for there is a tone of solemn de termination in those proceedings tint cannot 1 be mistaken. Those people will fight il the alicrmHivc is presented, ami like nil in the wo-Id’.? past History, who have stood op fur the Rights of Conscience, they will be uncon querable—it is literally fighting for a man’s own soul, and is quite another thing from marchiig to the dcath for Governor 1 lam 'd ion's Sugar.— Carolina Watchman. From the Cam len Journal. There is one characteristic ii> the proceed mgs ofthe Union Party of this State, in<>ppo sitjon to the tyrannical measures of the List Le gi-'l itiire, 'it t! must command lhe respect ot > vmy unpYej'.idic ’d mind. It contrasts nobly w' h tho course o| the Nmltfiers in lhe>r late at tempt to b' htj iho State in contact with tho G'mm.u Government. Tim Union Party do 'no . Like tire nmiifiers, pretend that the remedy tiicy propose for 'heir relief is necessarily a p ciccab'ie remedy.” They do no., like them, i lead •>!*. tiie ignorant ami unsuspecting, blind • IbiJe. i to tin? brink of tito re volution, and thetx ) remov'* veiL They come out boldly and i fearlessly in opposition to the tyranny cf their , oppressors, and have resolved that they will re sist. Cert duly there is not one who would not [rather succeed by a moral, thana physical re ; sislance. But bo this as it may, they do not pre*, j tend to hide It’om themselves or their friends, the probability that their resistance may ulti* I mately bo any thing but peaceable. They i have hov.’ev"!', determined that they 1011 l not ) submit. They sincerely hope that those whoso province it is to guide the destinies of the State,- ) vill not force upon them the dire alternatives! lof submission to the obnoxious act, or. physi ' cal resistance. But they have solemnly re solved that they will not suffer lhe rights of commieticc to bo invaded, —their stand is taken, and they will maintain it, at any and every haz ard. Tho dominant pat tv have wonderfully mistaken the character of Union men. They have so long branded them with the epithet of cow irds and submissionists, that they have per iSiudtx! themselves into the belief (hot the fact is so, and that they m ty, consequently, with j impunity, add insult to injury. But they will ft .id tb it abused, oppressed and instilled party/ ) to consist of men willing to sacrifice much fop ! the peace & harmony of ihe State; Caridini.tns, ’&. b'mig Carolinians, whatever oilier sac. ifiecs the\ may make; they can never, no, never coin promise either their consciences or their honer. From the Charleston Gazette. Gov. Trout has made great discovery in po litical science—he his actually found out that “the reserved ngh s” of ihe Stales constitute no p irt of State Sovereignly. This very sa gacious conclusion is based upon the shrewd and nii-S'iffi -ieu’ reason, tfiat if the reserved rights be srrvereignty in tho States, the delegat ed rights mus be sovereignty in the. United Slates, which every one with half .an idea knows to bo preposterous. The whole pas sage, :n which this novel theory is broached, is - i curiosity, tn... wo hero quote it, in order tii it our readers m y cither admire its profuH? dity, or laugh at its absurdity. “What are called die reserved rights OX poweis in the Cons ittuinn, are very erroneous ly deemed to bo the sovereign power. They,, on lhe contrary, are only those rights and pow ers which are usually exercised by govern ments, or enjoyed by the people, mid which have not been given to tho Federal 1 Govern ment. If they were cons Anted tn mear» sovor— eign power, then indeed it would f0110w, .1 hat a Stale had conceded a portion of its sovereignty to the- government of the United States, and retained only a por ! ion for itself; which would bo making that government sovereign, when it is only servat’it. Sovereignty protects both delegated an] reset ved powers, bin is neither"' die one nor die other.” 1 1 the nnllificrs regard ibis as onn of tho fruits of Gov.' ; Troup’« wisdom, and not ns a re sult of that excessive learning which produced* madness, they will soldo>" measure, Kr* change their mode ot speech—'they will have at least, to abandon their favorite phrase of a iS’tato’s “throwing” or “poising herself,” or “standing” or “falling back” “itpon her reserv ed rights,” in order to arrest the unconstitution al march of the General Government. But let us examine a little, this new article of nul lification faith, which we h ive no t’.nnbt will soon be embraced by al! the orthiul jtf “Sov ereignty protects both delegated a p.| reserved powers, but is neither (he one no / ihe other..’* If sovereignty consist neither ij ihe power® coiiierred on the United nor in tho powers reserved to the States, what in the name of all that is wondctful can sovereignty be.— How unfortunate that G-jv. Tr. ;t e should have only told us what so’y<-rvignty is.not, and left Us wholly in the dark to what soverei-' n ty is. How much to he I. rented that he should have suffered this imp’ ,rtant point to remais sealed up in inscrutal /.• mystery. “The ro* served rights aro very erroneously deemed to bo the sovereign pow A; r—they, on the contra ry, aro only those rights and powers, which artt usually exercised by geve-nmeitis, or enjoyed by the people, ar.d which have not burn given to the General Government.” Wo arc then to conclude thr.f the “powers which aro usually exercised by governments or enjoyed by tha people,” are rot sovereign powers. Thus th& reserved right to tax the citizen for Slate pur poses, the reserved right of domestic or muni ci(id legation, the reserved right to take ibfl
