The blank contained in the last resolution, will be filled by the Chairman, by Ihe appointment of seven gentlemen, whose names will appear hereafter. T ht Lexington .Verting.-The dinner proposed to be given in tide place, on to-day, to Judge Clavton, has been abandoned for the purpose of affording oar citi- gens an opportunity of attrnding the meeting at Lex- ington. We look to the proceedings of this day at that place with great interest and anxiety—its results will prove momentous to the interests of the Troup party,in volving as they will in all probability the future course of the leading men of that party on the great question of Nullification. XVf do hope our political friends who attend the meeting will act with reflection, and in adoptinga course of action-in devising “the mode and the meaaufg of redress ” they w illlookto future conse quences; slid ^resistance is determined on, let it be of ouch a character as not to involve themselves and the party in the ridiculous and reckless planslaid down by John C. Calhoun and others in South Csrolina. One thing in connexion with this meeting wo deeply regret—the illiberal course pursued hy it* projectors in excluding from its deliberations and festivities, our dis tinguished and patriotic members to Congress.Messrs. FORSYTH and WAYNE. It is an outrago on the feelings, and a stab at'the popularity of those distin guished gentlemen. But the) are too deeply rooted in the affection and confidence of the PEOPLE to suit fer.in any great degreo.from this impotent attempt to in jure their standing. It is said those gentlemen supported a Tariff Bill by voting for the compromise of the Secre tary of tho Treasury-ah, indeed! and what, we would ask, did those gentlemen virtually support who voted against it! Why a Tariff bill, and one a thousand limns worse—the bill of 1828. It was a choice of evils—Meisr*. Forsyth and Wayne choBO the least, and by this coarse it seems they have incurred the displea sure of our Lexington friends. We do not intend to exprexs ourselves as in any way whatever impugning the course of those gentlemen who voted against the compromise. Wo believe they acted conscientiously—they are all high minded and honora ble men,and have our entire confidence; but we do ob ject tu our Lexington friends putting under the ban of their displeasure, iit so public and open a manner those gentlemen who advicn't.l tho compro mise, thercbv attempting to prejudice lha comm unity against them, without affording an opportunity for ex planation or vindication. jq»0« notice nf the meeting to bo held this day in Lexington, was in type before we were oworo that a meeting of the same kind was contemplated in this place. We hope our Lexington friends will give an additional impulse to the movement, hy adopting the preamble and resolutions which prevailed here with so much unanimity. —00©— We learn that tho late meeting held by the ChM.kce Chiefs in Tennessee (not at New Eclio- ta aserroneously stated by aumc of our State papers) was characterized throughout hy much excitement.— Tho Chiefs in Georgia were in favor of a treaty, nod were opposed by the common Indians (who have be come -so jealous of their Chiefs ns to suspect every tiling they approve of as intonded to injureand oppress them,) and by tho Indians in Tennessee and North Carolina. Tho Lottery Commissioners convened at Mitiedgo- ville on tho 2Slh ult. by order of the Governor, for tho purpose of making the necessary preparations fur car rying llio law ofthe state, (disposing by lotterv tho va cant Territory of the Nation,) into effect as early as practicable. The Theatre.—'Wocallthe attention of tho good citi zens ef our town, and others who remain from xth-ond, to Mr. Sol. Smith’s “bill of fare” to-night at the Theatre—Ihe comedy of the “ Hypocrite” and the -farce of" Rendezvous.” They are both standard plays snd well worthy the attention of the public. Wo -have attended on several occasions the performances of Mr. Smith's company, aid can unhesitatingly commend them to Ihe attention of tho lovers of tho drama.— Theatricals, inour isolated situation, are so rare and novel a treat that we would arfviso our good citizens to improve the present opportunity, for it may be long, very long, before another may be offered them.

What is the first object and origin of banks but lo nfford to the commercial community a circulating medium, w hich can be given in exchange for, and fairly represent the value of the export* of the country ? thus affording capital, and exciting competition among the merchants, who in tho character of agents for Ihe farmer and planter, send their produce to foreign countries to find a market, and bring back for their consumption, articles of neces sity of foreign growth and manufacture. Out ha* it ever been contended, or will it now be contended, because sudden changes and flue tuatinD* in the commerce of tho world, fre quently produce lo our merchants, and conse quently to the banks the most ruinous disas- lors, so as to cause many of them to fail, thereby at times producing great anxiety and pecuniary distress among the community, that the system should altogether bo abandoned 1 Or has the experience of hoary time more wisely determined, that tho misfortunes of the feta, or the moment, shall not be arrayed in frightful deleting colours, ogainst the great and important interests of the many, which continues to coll abroad for tho same patron age, and must do so, as long as one nation is dependant upon another for an exchange of their products for those of the other ? Who does not see the impossibility of each farmer or planter in Ihe country, sending his own pro- duco to the various markets of Europe, Asia or Africa, and bringing bBck the products nf those countries ; which are essential (a his necessities or convenience ? And if he is dri ven to the necessity of employing those alone, who havo an actual capital oi Gold and Silver to perform the operation, the impossibility of finding a sufficient number of such agents whoso cdpital would represent tho commerce of nny'conntry ? Hence the absolute necessi ty of a credit system, bottomed upon the known wants of the dependant nations, each looking to the natural resources of the other to sustain their credit, and fulfil their engage ments in this necessary barter. This great necessity of (he commerce of tho world, has given rise to the banking system in the differ ent countries, creating a fictitious capital, which is intended to represent tho value of the products of the country, while passing from the hands of the producer, through those of tho merchant who acts as his agent, until Ihe sumo representative is returned to the merchant in payment for (he articles ho has imported from foreign markets, for tho necessary con sumption of the country. And although thou sands of merchants may fail, ariJ thousands of banks may lose by them, and may also fail, and the various in'erests in tho community sustain great inconvenience and 'losses, yet tho commerce of the world must and will go on, and other merchants, and other banks wilt take the place of those, who from the want of judgement, or tho effect of unforeseen oceur- renecs.mny be compelled to withdraw from the great stage of action. And so must it be with llio great and important mining interest of Georgia ! Tito precious metal is here in the bowels of the earth, which is now the bona fide property of our own citizens, and must and will bo sopnraled from it, and carried from the country to the amount of many millions of dollars every year. Tho true question then is, shall wo adopt plans which will secure to our citizens n continuation of the benefits which Providence has placed in their posses sion, hy enabling them to realize all the pro fits arising from their property, or force them through necessity, for tho want of the proper knowledge and means, to throw away for a mere pittance into the hands of foreign capi- talists tho greater portion of this immense source of wealth, which of course will bo withdrawn from the state, and hardly bo known as being even a portion of her exports—scarce ly a dollar being returned for the millions car ried away. If it bo the interest of the Uoited Slates to hazard millions raised by bank pa tronage, and in any and every way, upon the stormy ocean, whero nothing but the goodness of an all wise and merciful Providence can in sure success, rather than to suffer other na tions tu become the carriers of our exports, surnly it cannot he wisdom in tho Stale, to suffer foreigners to become almost the exclu sive beneficiaries of her great and important mining interest; (and all who aro not citizens are foreigners in effect.) yet. while the United Slates are waging war against foreign nations, spending countless millions of the public trea sure, and shedding tho blond of her citizens in streams, rather than submit to tho slightest innovation upon this important principlo of right and interest; strango to tell, Georgia has in her legislative capacity refused to char ter a bank to patronise and protect an impor tant branch of her internal resources and in dustry, apparently equal in nmount to one tuurth, or one third ofthe whole exports of the state, lest some of the miners mny fail in their experiments, and the bank probably sus tain a loss nf the money loaned them! Was there ever such legislation heard of before, when connected with a subject of such high and vital importance to the country ? If, as really was the fact, that the three banks chartered by the last Legislature, as well ;ts every other bank in Georgia, received those charters upon the broad ground, (hat it was to-encourage the agricultural, as well as the commercial interest of the section of coun try where they were intended to be located, hy enabling the merchant to have sufficient capital to pay the planter for hi* cotton and other produce of the country; I will put it to the candour of every intelligent mind to an swer, if the danger of loss to the banks from tlx) known uncertsimy of the value of the groat staple of the country, and the consequent fre quent failures of the most rsspectable, honest, and intelligent of our merchants, might not hove been as fair and vilid an argument against the propriety of chartering those banks, as that the probability of losing by an unsuc cessful miner, could upon any principle of justice, have been urged against the propriety of chartering the Gainesville Bank ? If it be contended that when the commercial banks make loans, they do it on what they consider good security, and that losses are scarcely ever sustained except in times of great com mercial convulsions, when the endorsers as well us the drawers become sufferers ; the an swer is at once ready, and applicable ton, that it would imply a great want of liberality, to suppose that the upper section of the State, could not afford stockholders and directors of a bank, who would have a sufficient knowl edge of business, and general intelligence, to enable them to require, add judge of the suf ficiency of the security afforded by their cus tomers, as Uatokinsviile possibly can afford—- or indeed, as Macon, Columbus, or any other place. But I will admit for the sake of argil moot, what is frequently the case with all banks, that the commodities in which their customers deal, are taken to a great extent as the basis of their security for loans made to business men, and then show from the actual practice of the country, that the danger to tho community at fame, would be much less, from the operations of a mining bank, than is daily incurred hy them through the operations of every bank in the stale. If merchants did not through necessity, trade beyond llieir capital, there would be no use for banks at all; but the very fact, that the whole commerce of a country may be carried on with a fictitious capital, through the agency of the banks us heretofore shown, sustains mu in the assertion, that many of our most valua ble merchants ore constantly operating in nmounts vastly over (heir capital in this way. How do they effect it I A young man of luir business character for instance, who has little or no capital, commences business under tho patronage of one or more other merchants, who appear to be rich, and havo established for themselves a good credit. Tho new be ginner receives upon tho faith of their credit, and tho appearances of the business he is en gaged in, extensive loans from tho banks, with which he purchases hundred* and thou sands of bales of cotton, shipping all the time to factors nnd commission merchants at nlhor ports, and drawing on them for money, thus sustaining their credit temporarily at home, and to nil appearance doing n large and pro fitable business. Ho still goes on to borrow and pay alternately, and’through the agency of his factor at New York or elsewhere, per haps to ship hts cotton to Europe, until he has actually vested in the article, perhaps ten or twenty times as much as he is actually worth- He must of course owo to the bonks at home, all the difference between the original cost of the article, expenses incurred ; and llio sums advanced by the New York factor, who holds or ships the cotton. Thus matters go on swimmingly, tho banks gelling their inter- est und exchange, and wind and weather per mitting, the merchant making a princely for tune, aad no body injured. But the scene shifts ; a sudden decline in the article in Eu rope or elsewhere, which is frequently the case to 10, 20, or 50 per cent., produces on actual Iosb to tho merchant, on what ts thus caught on his hands, greater than all he i* worth, and whnt he owes to the banks also. The loss therefore must be sustained by his endorsers, and Ins factor who had mndu advances beyond ihe price the urticle sold for. But if it should so happen, that his endorsers havo themselves been all this time engaged in the same untor lunate business themselves, and (ho result should prove a aimitur one to them, so that they could not pay the paper of Ihe other, it fol lows ol course, thnt the bank most lose the debt. It will also bo borne in mind, that those factors who frequently have ten or twenty thousand bales of cotton doposited in their yore houses, on which according to the cus tom of tho trade they make advances to three fourths of its value, are themselves borrowers from tho banks of these immense sums of mo ney, and in many instances upon very slight personal security, relying mainly upon the ur ticlo in store, ns tho strung ground of safety Tho same cause produces the samo disnstrou 1 effect to the factor, for if his customer has been dealing on a fictitious capital, and is unable to refund, he must loso the difference between the price received, and the amount advanced. And if thoso losses peradventure should be more than he is worth, the banks must lose the difference. No candid person will deny this being a fair statement of the liabilities of the commercial transactions of our country ; and I deern it unnecessary to present any evi dence of tho many failures that have actually taken place through means of this kind, pro ducing great losses to tho community, as well as lo the banks, because it is a fact of such public notoriety. Notwithstanding all the danger here shown from the common d.iily operations of the commercial banks in the state, the Legislature still continues to charter litem by scores, und no warning voice is heard of the danger of such a course. But how stand* the ense with the probable operations of n mining bank ? Suppose no individual should possess a mine, without the means of operating an it, nnd lie should ap ply lo the bank for assistance, would lie ex pect to obtain it, unless he gave satisfactory security l Such an expectation would be un reasonable. Who then would he offer ns an endorser l Not another miner, (whose whole wealth may be involved like |hc merchant in the same dangerous enterprise) for the proba bility is, that three limes out of four, the per sons owning the mines will at first be unknown to each other. It is a rational conclusion then, that the security which will be offered to the bank, will generally be of the most sub stantial character that the state thirds—based upon the agricultural interest of tho country. If therefore the friends of the holder of n mine, choose to stake their credit, to enable him to test Ihe value of his property, wherein can the hank be a loser, or what reasonable right would it havo to restrain them from doing so I To effect aucb n purposb would be one of the great objects of the bank, and if the miner fail, hi* endorsers would only be the lo- sors j but if he succeeded, the bank would gain another valuable customer (ns will here after lie shown) nnd the stale unothor wealthy citizen. It is with a very bad grace therefore, that wo are admonished by our banking fellow citizens of the lower counties, to be aware of a bank on this score. We would remind them of tho old adage, “ persons living in glass houses should not cast stones.” The same blanch of the subject will he iu- sumed in my next. A. B. TO THE PUKLIC. R EFUTATION is an honest Ilian’* ricliraf jiwel, anti when availed through the medium of the public prints over m proper sinnature, it matters not whether by one whose character tttuucU fair at linin'*, or one who on account of hi* inixdoedi*, wears the neighborhood neal of infamy, from w hatover point lie moy come, receiw* a weight of character or force through that channel, which in my opinion entitles the author at looAt to h pupAing notice, I am informed that Keuhen Thornton, inn lute num ber of tho Southern Danner, hua directly or indirectly charged ino with committing a fraud upon the tictiei.il Government, bv celling my improvement!! to my fo*ih, and then lo the Government. V*1io will deny the ri&rlil id a father to transfer hi* property by '•(ten nnd fail eale tnhiaaonft? and is it fruud, or nny thing more than sheer honesty in them to relinquish their right of the improvements to the Government, and receive pay for the same, by enrolling themselves for the Arkansas, under tho Treaty of 1828? which was done by my sons, and they urc now a. their new homes in the Ar kansas. But Mr. Reuben Thornton to justify himself has un dertaken to enndemn Miy. Curry, and every person who enrolled untfer him ; if l»e, Mr. Thornton will re collect the case of George Ward, he .will hove little right to cry out fraud. Mr Ward is a Cherokee na tive, and one of those who have »nkcn reserves hereto fore, and agreeable to Mr. Thornton’s own doctrine, is net entitled to a participation in any of the articles of the Treaty of 1828. yet Mr. Thornton, while acting ns enrolling Agent,pledged his Aon or to-Mr. V\ aid that if.ie. would enrol he should have twenty- five hundred dollars for Ids improvements, when they were not worth tnn«<- thun seven or eight hundred dollars; and in fact they were only valued at about eight hundred dollars. Sup pose the 1 liter to have Seen the real value of that gen tleman’s improvements, and Mr. Thornton had posses sed the power and means to pay what was promised, out of the Government fund, would not this have been a much more aggravated species of fraud than that of which he so bitterly complained to the War Depart ment? gnd on tho other hand, if tiro improvements were worth only eight hundred dollars, was it not o base fraud upon an individual of fair fame to induce him to enrol by offering prices, or making pledget* which never could be redeemed ? and was it not also equally as bane a fraud upuu a widow, to give her a certificate, that her negroes were each allowed an Ar kansas blanket, by way of inducing her to enrol? Suppose the Indian Agent had honored this unauthori sed requisition under the Treaty of 1828, there would have been a swindling of the Government out of twen- . ty-seven costly blankets, by Brother Thornton, in favor lo ' vl of Sitter Tally This plausible writer and disinterested public servant, speaks also of the injustice done to Ihe poor Indian in buying his improvements. If them bo injustice in that, how much more is theru when a pub lic officer descends to take advantage of his station, to impose upon a poor woman, and defraud her children out of a stipend, intended in the humanity of the treaty, to provide tor the immediate wants uf the emigrants on their arrival West of the Mississippi. Mr Thorn ton cannot be ignorant of the defeat he met with in securing to himself the head rights of Betsy Langly and hcrchi'dren, und as the Farris* are good authority with him in some cases, he certainly would not object to their testimony when ncccpxrry on this subject. But we wilUurn our uttontion once more to public frauds; and let ua enquire, if this valuable public functionary was not absent at Millrdgevtlle, two wcekn during the session ofthe last Legislature against instructions from his superior, (attending to a little bank matter) and when he made out hts account, at $4,00 per da> for public services, and asked the approval ofthe superu*- lendant if he did not certify to him upon honor that he was at this time actually engaged in enrolling Chcro kecs? Whether this certified occount, intended to draw funds ou. of the Treasury, was not docked to the amount of $56,00 at least ? Should I in this or in part of }hi* last proposition labor under a mistake, Mr Curry-I have no doubt would do Mr. Thornton the jus tice to say so in writing, provided he would conde scend to have any thing to do with a controversy, where Mr. Thornton was concerned ; ond I now osk Mr. Thornton to call on that gentleman for evidence ol his innocence. Mr. Thornton incloses hit commission to the Secre tary of War after this account was corrected, and or dered to bo paid, and when it was generally under stood hero that Maj. Curry had sent him home with o determination not again to have hi* aid in any way whatever; why then wns all this parade made about resigning to tho Department a communion‘that wan never filled up there with bis name? ! solicit Mr. Editor, through your columns, to pre sent this picture of Mr. Thornton’s pimiotivuiaud dis interested lovo of country, to a candid and discrtmi noting public, as an answer to that part of his commu nication having reference to myself, and ask such edi tors as have taken notice of his to republish mine,so that his character and motives may be fully appreciated where be ia not already known, pledging my reputation for the truth of all that is herein contained, by punitive averment or even by iuucndo.
