The committee of ten appointed to draft a preamble und resolutions expressive of the views and principles of the Union party, made the following report, which was unani i tnously adopted, to wh: ‘TO THE UNION PARTY OF GEORGIA. ! Your delegate?, assembled in Convention , at Milledgeville, on the 7th May, have taken ! iniD consideration the subject confided to their ! deliberations, and now recommend the follovv | in" gentlemen, as possessing suitable qualifi i cations to represent Georgia in the next Con gress of the LJiited States: I ROBERT VV. POOLER, of Chatham. Gen. B. GRAVES, of Newton. Col. J. S. PAT PERSON, of Early. D. C. CAMPBELL, of Bibb. JUNIUS HILLYER, Esq. of Clark. Hon. HIRAM WARNER, of Meriwether. Hon. ALFRED IVERSON, of Muscogee. Dr. J. G. McWHORTER, of Richmond. Gen. CHARLES 11. NELSON, of Cherokee. We hope our deliberations have been gui ded by wisdom, as we know they have been influenced by a patriotic regard for the best ir.teres s of our State and Country.—That the result will be perfectly satisfactory to all, we cannot expect; but we Lope and believe, suffi cicut public spirit and self devotion exist in 'the party, to silence the voice of discontent, ; and induce nil its members to waive minor [ considcraiiims, as a step necessary to secure j the ascendancy of those principles and meas ures, which they solemnly believe are essen tiiil to tho present and future prosperity, ■ peace and greatness of our beloved country. 1 I'hosu claims to the honors of the party, which have not been thus publicly acknowl ' edged, have not been overlooked, only post ; i aied. Disinterestedness is the badge of ; honesty. Our leading men have rather re quued persuasion to serve us, than rebuke for I fiirv. <d p’ - et<'i;sio;is. Lei us continue to be -'O • mguisljed. It is the surest evidence j ■ ■ thq >n Is we aim at are our coun- I'tit the Uoiiveiilioii, Having thus discharged I the duty more immediately assigned it, con- I sidcrcd that it hud not ddrie nil that it was its 1 duty to perform—all that the party had a ( right to expect at its hands. Important chum I ges having taken place in the situation of the j country, and new topics of public concern ! been agitated, it became a rhatter of some im t portancc, in the judgment of the Convention, I to stale distinctly the leading principles of I the party, us authorised landmarks for its ! guidance in mumtaining the ascendancy of the Constitution and laws. This they have endeavored to do with a charitable regard to the peculiar views of any dissenting members of the party, and with all the kindness of in terpretatiou as to the motives of our political I opponents which their conduct bus ullowed us I to feel. i ’l'hc following wus the result of ourdeliber (ations: , Whereas important changes have taken i place in the situation of the country, and new ' topics of public concern been agitated, since 1 any authorised organ ©t the Union Party of Georgia has ass rted its principles or sketched its views in relation thereto, it bacon es a matter of importance to state distinctly the lead'ng principles of its bcluf, to silence die mouth of slander, and, if possible, deprive misrepresentation of its power—i i.crufore, Ilestih'ed, '1 iiat we <<idially approve tc rt-commendation of the President of the Uni ted States, in regard to the propriety and ne. cessity of separating tho Government from tho Banks, in keeping and disbursing the public treasure, and of muintaining in the re ception of the public dues, consistently with ' the pu)dtc convenience, the only constitutional and national currency and legal tender. Reso/eed, That we approve of the course : of the administration of the General Govern ment, in regard to its Indian policy; und that Georgia in particular, who has been scourged by the continuance, so long, of tins species of - population within her territory, will sustain t this pokey, as alike essential to her own pros- j t perity and honor, and necessary to the future existence of n nice, that has dwindled from millions to humTreds, and once possessed our ■ country, tn the pride of powerful and Idem nations. i esoh't'd, That thu Democratic party of the South, can hold no friendly commuuica- 1 tion on any subject, with those who are ma -1 king a syaten alic assault upon rights guaran teed by the Cunstitution to the South, and who, it not arrested in their career, will demolish the lair labric ot our liberties, and entitle themscives t«> the infamous distinction of the *retca why tired the Ephesian Temple:— ».ui toe Republican partv of tho North, un cviiupteJ, disinterested, and patriotic, have ever proved themse ves to be what Mr. Jeffer sort deckjred them, “the natural allies of the ' r and that now, more than ever, from ithoir resolute opposition to the abolition fana- i W isddmjjiisticc, and 171 odcrat iobi .

Unsolved, That taxes and duties ought not to be laid and collected by the General Gov ernment. to raise money to be lent out by keep ers thereof, whether public officers or banks, to speculators or any other class of citizens whatsoever; and that the amount raised shoqld be barely sufficient to defray the expenses of an economical administration of the Govern ment, and should be kept to be applied to that | object, arid no other; Resolved, That the General Government I have no right to use the money of the people for Banking purposes; and consequently, any attempt on the part of Congress, by the means of a Bank charter, or any other legislative enactment, to delegate such power to others, will, as heretofore, meet with the unceasing hostility and opposition of the Union Party of Georgia. Resofaed, That we deprecate the evils re* gulting from the suspension of specie pay ments recommend a speedy resumption by the Bari.'f s > both in justice to the comma, nity that grantee them their chartered privi leges, and have a right to their benefits, and from a prudent regard fo'.*' their own safety. Resolved, That the present administration of the General Government, as promoL'Pg the! interests of the South, and guarding our in stitutions, has won our admiration and secu red our support; that we deeply deplore the course of such Southern statesmen as, by ac ting in concert with its opponents, are aiding to place those in power who are adverse to the rights and interests of the South, and the great principles of the Democratic Party as j illustrated in the political life and writings of : Thomas Jefferson. Thu principles of the present administra tion, according with the spirit of compromise [with which the Federal Constitution was I framed and adopted and being radically oppo sed to the fanatical efforts now made to in terfere with vital local interests, we exhoit the people to rally to its support. Errors of opinion, in matters not connected With the j safety and happiness of a portion of thd Ro public, may be tolerated, “while reason is j left to combat it,” biit every constitutional j effort should be made to resist and piit down j I any attempt of the people of one portion of I the country to interfere with the domestic' i institutions of another. The present admin- j • istration, planting, itself open the true prin-' ciples of our Union and Constitution, has boldly stepped forward and identified itself I with the maintainance of the domestic insti- i tutions of the South—the people of Georgia are, therefore, again invoked to rally to its support. The Convention, in closing its report and address to its constituents, cannot conclude without urging cn the party the necessity of renewed vigilance and untiring exertion to maintain the ascendancy of its views. To stimulate to such exertion and fire the zeal of the faintest heart in the cause, we beg to awaken its recollection of the glorious past. The position in which Georgia stood during i the threatening dangers of Nullification, was one of the greatest responsibility, and nobly did she respond to her obligations. She was the key stone of the arch, which sustained 1 , the Union in the Southern Status. If ghc had I faltered in the cause, all would have been * lost. This glorious Union would have lain in ; ruins. 'The whirlwind would have been irre- sisticle, if it had been augmented by her strength. But every engine wus brought tn I play on her firmness in vain. Difficulties were multiplied and artfully managed to in flame her passions, warp her judgment, and tempi her, by suggestions of Slate pride, to swerve from the pat.li of duly, patriotism and .honor. In vain the tempest beat on her bat. j tlcments. Her eye looked with unquailing [firmness on the dark cloud, whose thunder muttered its threatening in her ear. She i trembled not—hesitated not; but with the i j Constitution of the Confederacy in her hand, , and its glorious banner over her head, she defied its fury, and smiled in scorn at its im potence. In that dark hour, which was to test the capability of our government, she rallied her strength, and took her station by I the side of the Old Patriot, whose very name was a host against the enemies of his coun try. —They triumphed together, and with them triumphed the Constitution and the laws. I As Georgians, wo are proud that we have : not been recreant—not failed in our destiny.- The recollection shall shed a bright radiance ’on our future career, and history, when she i enumerates the temptations and dangers which t tried our firmness, shall pour the glory of her noblest eulogium cn tiie record. Let us not then, by siipiueness, nor by passion, and ( forgetful of the past, lose ali fur which we have fought, but rally on our principles, and, like a band of brothers, bind our fate by u bond stronger than links of steel, to the dvs j tiny of our glorious Union. On motion of Col. Li.uly, of Butts, Rrscdred, That a committee of five be ap pointed by the President, tn inform the persons (ctHHon by this Convention as candidates at < [the ensuing Congressional election, of their' nomination; and that said Committee commu nicate to them the resolutions passed by this Convention expressive of the principles and views of the Union party of Georgia, and ask of them the expression of their approba tion of such principles and views. The Committee appointed were, Messrs. J. VV. A. Sanford, Green Jordan, N. B. Ju han, Gen. R. Bledsoe, and VVm. G. Smith, Esq. Resolved, That Charles J. McDonald, H. I L. Running, James S. Bulloch, Howell Cobb, E. G. Rogers, Valentine Walker, George D. Andrews, J. W. A,. Sanford, James F. Hay, and Win. W. Wiggins, be a Committee to fill any vacancy that may occur in the nominations made by this Convention. On motion of J. G. McWhorter, Resolved, unanimously. That we regret that private ebnsiderations have been so im perative in their nature as to deprive us of the continued services of our present Demo, cratic Delegates in Congress, who, by .zealous, ly and ably advocating the measures of the administration, have defended the interests of the South, and thereby gained for their exer. tions the lasting remembrance and gratitude of the Union party. On motion of Mr. McArddl, of Mclntosh, ) Resolved, That the Delegation from Bald -1 W’in he appointed a Committee to print 500 , copies, ’n pamphlet form, of the address, pre-1 amble, and resolutions that have been adop-1 ted, by this Convention, with the vjew of pre-! seting the same in a permanent form to the Union Party of Georgia, and that l.his Con vention furnish the said committee such a. sum as may be necessary to defray the ex ! penses of carrying this resolution into effect. Resolved, unanimously, That ihe thanks of; this Convention be tendered to the President, j for the dignified and able manner in which the duties of the Chair have been discharged, and that he be requested to furnish a copy of his 1 address for publication. | Resolved, unanimously, That the thanks of this Convention be likewise tendered to Mr.; John T.

NON- RES UM P TIO N BIDD LE. ; The New York Banks have resumed specie \ payment, and NEW YORK is .a SPECIE [ PAYING S TATE. The Pennsylvania [ banks, which suspended as they said, because New York suspended, have not yet resumed; ; and Pennsylvania, “this Pcrinstjfoaitfa of i oMrs,” with her “ Pennsylvania interests and I Peitntylvanla"feelings,” to use the bunk Whig language is to be n paper Male, an inconver tible bank note Stale, an irrtdfrmable paper Slate a continental money State, a Clay pape.r Slate, because- Mr. Non-resumption Biddle i and Governor Ritncr’s “great balance wheel”, cannot pay their creditors in the constitution al currency, gold and stiver coin. But, despite of the Bank and its Slrfvfe, Jo. 1 seph Ritner. the banks of Pennsylvania ; must, and will, resume specie payment forth with. “The bone and sinew”—-the fiifmbrs, and mechanics of PenneyHnm'a, will submit' no longer to a bank autocracy. i In our last w-e displayed the entire unsound ucss of the Bank of the United States; and we shall add a few more facts to show the. true reasons of that institution for declaring that it will not resume. The monthly return made at the commencement of this month, (April,) exhibits this state of its affairs: h| [ field of notes of other bank5,5i,495,262, and. there was due from Slate Banks, 82,289,569 making an aggregate of 83,784,83’1, whilst it owed to State banks, 86,85.3,549, making a clear balance against it, and in favor of the State Banks, of 8.3,069,019, which, in specie ' paying times, could be draw-n for nt once in specie; but which if due to city and county i banks, only 1 per cent, interest would be paid upon it during the continuance of the suspen sion. Now on Wednesday last, (the 25th of April,) the Bank of the United States was indebted to the banks of the city and county : of Philadelphia 85,996,800, which shows that nearly the whole amount due to State banks, was duo to those in its immediate vicinity, and that the 83,784,831 due to it, must have been from banks at a distance, and certainly in States soutt. of the prise nt line of resumption. Wo shell not now speak of any other debt due by the bank, but these which arc certain |y jnirriediate, and can be called lor at nr:y moment. In this list we rank the nett circu lation of rimes payable on demand. 86,403 12'5 Deposites, 3,836,5:2 Due city and county banks, 5.9'-6,*' ' ' , Making an aggregate of 816,226,708 to meet this large amount thu bunk hgMonlv 83,903,836 72 of specie, the wholj »B>f which must be swahowed up by the pay meat of the balances due the banks in the five mile circle around it, leaving a balance due them alone of 82,082,968 28, which it has no means of paying. The Bank of the United States has, there fore, taken the attitude of non-iesumption, BECAUSE it is in the power of the minor banks surrounding it, which have been.man aged with much more care and prudence. There arc, however, other reasons opera ting with the regulator, which are not.so ob vious. It now appears that the bank did not pay the last September bond of 81 >886,589 04 due the United States out of its own funds, but that it “borrowed from the Exchange Bank near 8450,000, and a very handsome sum from the Northwestern Bank of Virginia, being a part of the surplus fund transferred to the State by the General Government.” “The Bank,” says the Richmond Enquirer, “applied these drafts towards the payment of its October instalments due to the United States, and we believe Mr. Biddle is pledged to repay in specie. IT WILL RECALLED I ON ASSQChN AS HE RESUMES SPECIE PAYMENTS/’ Ilfere then is another reason for non-re sumption, because this specie debt to the banks of Virginia, and the specie debt due the eiiv and county banks, would take all his speoi’c and several. millions more, without paying a dollar to note Holders .dr depositors. The bank has also purchased rotten insti tutions in other States, and has several agi-n: ci-*s, nil of which it ifiust supply with g >ld and si I vet, and the bill which has passed tho Senate, and will pass the Hou-c of Represen tatives, prohibiting the rc-isstieof the “resur rection notes,” will return for redemption Several millions of a bastard circulation with which the present bank has been deluding Pennsylvania and other States. There arc no doubt, other 'reasons arising out of un soundnrss, known to the leading directors of this institution, but the foregoing are sufficient to disclose the real causes of its present policy. We repeat, then, that the Bank of tho Uni ted States is the only obstacle to the resump, tion and continuance of specie payments in Pennsylvania, in which the city of Philadel phia is to lend its aid by redeeming its 8260,. 000 of shin plasters of May and June, 1867. by a new issue of the same, redeemable in 1840. ,But thu attempt cannot and will not be successful, for the power to oblige a re sumption remains with the people of Penn sylvania, who know, feel, and will cxcrcrao it. i. ’ : The banks of New York have acted hon estly, boldly, and fairly, and specie is last ' flowing to their aid—in eight days of this month, 84,054,000 cf specie was imported into, and remained in New York, and hun dreds of thousands of dollars are pouring in daily and weekly. The policy of General Jackson, in altering the gold standard, and encouraging the use of gold and silver, with 'the non-charter of the. bank of the United : States by Congress, thus throwing out of cir culation upwards of twenty millions of its notes, which owed their credit to that given them by the Government, and substituting for them specie, are tho causes of this influx [of the precious metals. In 1811, under the old Bunk of the United States, we had in tho' whole country but ten millions of specie—in 1832, under the second bank, we had but I twenty millions; and now, in 1838, with no ; bank, wo have one hundred millions of tho I constitutional currency, ten times the sum possessed in tho days of the first bank, and five times the snrn possessed six years ago, in the days of the second bank, managed, us it was, by the “greatest financier of ancient or modern times,” Mr. non-resumption Biddle. The remedy then is with tho people—-take your shin-plasters to those who have issued them—and get specie or Lank* notes of this State; refuse to use these false certificates of loan any longer—call on each bank individu-. ally to fulfil its charter stipulation—encour age and sustain the hones!—hold meetings, 1 and declare your soritimefi'ts freely, but calm- - ly and deliberately, and the banks must and will resume. 'l’hey owe all to your indul -1 gcnce—but they must not stretch the cord one inch further—patience is exhausted, and the people must and will have their rights. Let the independent citizens of Philadel phia meet, as they did in May last, in Inde pendence square, und the next day the banks will pay specie. Can and will Pennsylvania lug Vohmd New York? Xo!
