jCjp We wish some friend would favor us with an account of the examinations now progressing at our different literary institutions. It would no doubt be interesting to many, if not a!! of our readers, and ad vantageous to our town and tho public. The display of Mrs. Walthol’s pupilron Monday evening, baa been seldom equalled, and we will venture an opinion, that there are other branches of education besides music, which they have creditably cultivated. Gov. Lumpkin has issued his proclamation an nouncing the election to Congress of Messrs. Wayne, Wilde, Gilmer, Clayton, Foster, Gamble, Jones, Schley and Coffee. The term of service of these gentlemen commence on the 4th of ' arch next. —60$— Dr. Henry Branham.—In another column of our pa per of to-day, will be found the correspondence be tween this gentleman and F.dward Corey, F.sq. of Milledgeville. On the subject matter of this corres pondence. Dr. Branham has received, at the hands of a few disaffected individuals, who claim to belong to the Troup party,very great injustice. It was necessa ry to these individuals, in order to make room for a man having no claims whatever on the Troup party- one who lias ever been tho mere tool of John C. Fa! houn—a cast off of his own (and never deserving the confidence of any) party—we mean Daniel Newnan,— that some one of the regularly nominated Troup ticket, should be sacrificed ; and this old and faithful servant of the people—this able advocate of State Rights, and of the ioterests of the party to which he is attached, was the individual for the purpose selected ! Those who got up the notoriously celebrated ticket signed «• Harris,” and who had to squeeze it through I he public press by the aid of that high pressure engine called money, for the purpose of electing the notorious Dan iel Netcnan over Henri Branham, have acquired for themselves a distinction, that will always keep their “ names green in the memory” ot every honorable and genuine member of the Troup party. evils, and should wc nut have regard enough for our interest, to do the same ? They wish on the one hand to avoid the Seylla, Barbour, that stares them in the face, and should we not strive to steer clear of the Charybdis, Sergeant, which threatens to strand us on the other? We repeat it, a majority of the Jackson party will never vote for Mr. Barbour. Then is it wise for the balance to expend idly their energies on I im— to sport and dally with their best interest—whilst the enemy is up and actively engaged in taking the advan tage of tricir divisions and dissentions ? No, let the South wake up—let us meet our Tariff, Jackson friends, who at least agree with us on one subject—the support of his administration on this half way ground, and for the success of the great and good cause—Republican ism and State Rights—which now hang in suspense over the result of the ensuing election, make common cause with them ; and in the triumph of Jackson and Van Burf.n, we shall have little to regret—but much of the spoils of victory to rejoice over. own bosom, after which he may be enabled to speak, without blushing, the truth and the whole truth—al though Devils may be shamed thereby. Mr. Van Buren.—We lay before our readers, in our pt per of to-day, with much pleasure, this gentleman’s answer to the North Carolina Committee ; in which they will find a clear, candid and succinct declaration of hia opinions on the great questions that now divide and agitate the country from the Lakes of the North to the Gulph of the South, viz: the Tariff, Internal Im provements, the Bank of the United States, and Nulli fication. We say wc do this with much pleasure, not because we coincide with Mr. Van Buren in his views on all those interesting subjects, but because his letter wilt disabuse the public mind on many of those points which have been perverted, and handled by his ene mies at tho South, and to the injnry of General Jack- eon, with whom he has become so inti nately connec ted, that the cause of the one is, or ought to be, consi dered the cause of the other. The Clark party in this State have opposed Mr. Van Buren, wc conceive, from motives which ought to be entirely beneath the consideration of a party having any claims whatever to respectability. Mr. Van Bu ren it is true was, in times past, a warm friend and supporter of Wm. H. Crawford—hut is it not equally true that he is now the admirer, the friend and sup porter of Gen. Jackson? It would seem to us that the position in which Mr. Van Buren is now placed, with regard to the Administration and General Jackson, ought at least to claim from “ his old and original friends” in Georgia, forgiveness for the sin (if ain they will have it) of his former support of Mr. Crawford.— We arc compelled to believe that it is more from feel ings which arise out of reminiscences of past transac lions, than to just calculations of those that are now transpiring, arises the opposition which is exerted by this party to Mr. Van Boren’s election. The Federal Union, tho organ of tho Clark party, has pretended heretofore to oppose Mr. Van Buren on the ground alone of his ultra Tariff principles. Will the editors of that print now have tho goodness to let their readers know in whnt they diffor from the views, on this sub ject, laid down by Mr. Van Buren, in the letter under consideration? Mr. Van Buren believes Congress has the right constitutionally to 11 establish commercial re gulations, with a view to the encouragement of do mestic products”—has the Federal Union ever contro verted this position? Mr. Van Buren believes further, ih&Uhis tight “ should never be exercised with an op pressive inequality upon any portion of our citizens, or for the advantage of one section of the Union at the tho expense of another,” and further that the Tariff* ahould be so modified as to produce a “ reduction of the revenue to the wants of the Government,” which we presume tho Federal Union will hardly deny—co inciding, then, as do Mr. Van Buren and the editors of the Federal Union, in their sentiments on this subject, we hope to hear no more from them about Mr. Van Buren being the ** main pillar of the Tariff!” It is true Mr. Van Buren differs with the Federal Union on the subject of the U. States’ Bank—ah, this is the rub! but inasmuch as he is, on this subject with nine tenths of the people of Georgia, perfectly ortho dox, wc presume tho heterodoxy of the Federal Union will not be actively exerted, on this ground, to impede his march to the Vice Presidential chair. And on the subject of Internal Improvements by tho General Go vernment Mr. Van Buren goes nearly the whole amount with the South. Then why oppose his election ? Why allow a mere shadow of difference on one or two iso latcd questions of policy,to jeopardize the great cause of Gen. Jackson’s re-election, and ensure the success of that •* full blooded American System” man, John Ser geant ? It does seem to us to be folly the most suici dal, under present circumstances, for any part of the South to support Mr, Barbour. It may be that this genticman’s sentiments on the subject of the Tariff har monize with the views and feelings of ihe South to a much greater degree than do Mr. Van Buren’s. But how will stand the case when the South is called to ait in judgment between Van Buren and Sergeant ? Between these two gentlemen she will have at Iasi to choose, for we pronounce (and for reasons assigned be low) Mr. Barbour’s chance entirely desperate. It will be recollected that a majority of ihe friends of Gen. Jackson belong to the Tariff party; and although they are willing to concede so much to the balance as to eupport Mr. Van Buren, yet, they can never be brought to support Mr. Barbour—they will certainly support Vlr. Sergeant in preference, should the contest eventually fall between them—because he is with them heart and hand on the subject of their favorite Ameri can System, and the other vice versa. This portion of the friends of General Jackson are willing to meet us on a halfway ground—they are willing to join ua in the support of Van Buren, a moderate Tariff man; and should we be so far outdone in liberality, as to refuse, for the good of the party, to make the aame aacrificc ? They are willing to take Mr. Van Buren as a choice of SO 3 * The following state of the polls, at tho late election for a senator and two representatives, to the next Legislature, from the county of Meriwether, was handed us for publication sonic time since.

Solomon Peck, Keeners Parties in South Carolina.— It will he seen by the fill- lowing resolutions, unanimously adopted by the 44 Uni on Party” at a meeting held at Seyle’s after their late defeat in Charleston, that they arc as little disposed to submit to the threatened misrule of til cMdlifiers at Co lumbia, as the NuUifiers arc to submit to that of the Ta riff party at Washington City, and that they are asde termmed to nullify an act of Nullification by the Nullify ing. os that party is to nidlify the Tariff iaws of the General Government. Wo should like to know when and where this Nulli fication and Nullifying of Notification is to end ? Whereas, wo are citizens of (liu United States of America—a freoi sovereign, inde pendent and powerful nation, recognised and respected by every civilized peoplo on the Globe; and whereas, otir nllecinnce to these United Stales is immediate and direct, and of the most snered obligation ; and, whereas, the doctrine of Nullification is an unconstitutional political heresy, supported only hv u party in this Stale; and, whereas, tho Union of (lie Slates is regarded by iis as tho source of our nntiori'il existence, of our present unexnm pled freedom, prosperity und greatness, and as the best, if not the only safeguard of our lib ortics It is therefore Resolved, that the Union party of St. Philip and St. Mitchell, will lie firm in their allegiance to the United States, and will, by all legal and constitutional means, resist any art of nullification.

Two or three num bers of it have been sent to us, we presume, for the pur pose of soliciting an exchange—we beg to be excused reciprocating the favor, at least until the “ Revivalist” becomes 4 ' awakened” himself sufficiently to appreci ate tho value of honesty and fair dealing. This misna med Revivalist, with others of the same kidney in the same section of country, has been engaged for years in the “ holy cause” of slandering Georgia on »he subject of her relations with the “dear” Cherokees. And we observe in a late number, the editor in attempting to give publicity to the term* lately proposed by the Presi dent for their removal West of the Mississippi, with, holds entirely the six last articles in which are contain ed the most liberal propositions. In our last paper will he found the whole of the article which, for (< philan thropic” reasons no doubt, the “ Revivalist” thought proper to publish only in part. We hope the 44 Revi- valiit” will hereafter 41 revive” the good work in his United States* Senator for Tennessee.—After thirty unsuccessful ballotings the Legislature of Tennessee has postponed the choice of a Senator in Congress un til tho next session of the General Assembly of that State. On the first ballot, the vote stood thus: Foster 23 Grundv 22—Eaton 15. There was little variation during the course of the ballotings. and the last one was, Foster 22—Grundy 20—Eaton 18.— Ibid, fin the United States, tho population of which is 13,- 000,000, there arc about 1000 now’spapers published— a greater numbor than in nil Enrope, the population of which is 190 millions! There aro about 50 daily pa pers in the United States, and in the State of New York alone, 1G3 newspapers exclusive of religious journals. The Legislature of Alabama has been ordered to con vene on the first Monday of this month for the pur pose ofaltcring the Electoral Law. Mr. Rives, our Minister in France, was to embark in the Sully, for New York, on the 1st of October. Health of the City.—The several days of cold weather we experienced last week, very much chocked the yellow lever, and, no doubt, has prevented it, so far, from becoming epidemic. Some few cases may still exist, but we have heard of no new ones ; nor can wc learn that any of our town citizens are taken with it. The last week exhibits n less number of deaths than the preceding.—A*. O. Argus, Oth ult. Mammoth Steamer.—A steam vessel was launched on the 18th ult. at Elizabethtown,Pa. near Pittsburg, said to he tho largest on the western waters. She has 173 feet keel, and will carry 800 lon3 besides engine, wood and furniture, &c. which will probably swell the ton nage to one thousand. Her cabins, when thrown to gether by opening the folding doors, will measure I feet in length. She is to he propelled by an engine 250 horses power, and is destined to run between New Orleans and Louisville. Tho living skeleton, Calvin Edson, has at length operated. Hodied a few days since at his residence in Vermont of Vabet Mcsenterica, as it is said. The “hungry worm” was hardly a worm of good taste to take up its residence in such an (< atomy.” “ Bank Robbery.—$5,000 Reward.—The Offico of the North Western Bank of Virginia was entered on tho night of the 2d inst. by some villains, and from 60,000 to 70,000 dollars in Bank Notes, stolen; about $25,000 in United States paper, the remainder principally in notes of the neighboring Banks. The above reward will be paid for the apprehension of the Robbers and I he recovery of tho money, or a pro- portionable reward for the amount recovered.” J. LIST, Cashier. Wheeling, Oct. 3d, 1832. New Orleans, Sept. 29-Cholera in St Louis.-The Strain boat Snngarnon, Cnpt. Ingram, arrived here this morning from St. Louis, whence she left on the 23d. Capt. lngiam informs us that the Spasmodic Cholera has broke nut in St. Louis. Several lind died of it, in five «r six hours after the attack, and new cases were occurring daily. There were four cases in St. Louis, when the Sangamon left. It did not create much alarm, although several persons had quit <he city on account of it. The Indian war has been brought to a close, and she troops are moving homeward. A young dentist of Charleston, we see by the Mer cury, has constructed and successfully applied an arti ficial palate! This has been achieved by accurately fitting a plate of silver or gold to the part, supported by the neighboring teeth, and extending sufficiently far hack into the throat to direct the fluids into the stom ach, and air through the mouth.—Sav.

TO THE PUBLIC. f llAVE heretofore declined making any public statement in regard to iny connexion with the Bank of Macon, and did intend to have remained silent on that subject until tho meeting of the Legislature, when it was my intention to solicit the appointment of a committee from that body to examine into its affairs,' and report the cause of its failure. But learning that various, false, und malicious rumors are in circulation, in different parts of the country, which arc calculated »o do me great injustice, I have deemed it proper and dun to myselfihus publicly to correct them. One charge that I understand has gained some cur rency in the country, is, I lint there arc large amounts of the Bills of the Bank of Macon in circulation that does not appear on the Books of the Bank. To this,! presume, it wilt fee sufficient to say, that if there is one Bill, or any amount of Bills, bearing my signature as Cashier, or issued while I was in that office, that done not appear fairly set forth on the Books of the Bank, the holders or owners thereof may consider me and my securities liable and bound for their redemption am) they shall he promptly paid on presentation ; and that every man may sec whether his Bills have been proper ly entered or not, 1 suggest that the Register of the Bills regularly issued by the Bank bo deposited in some public office where every Bill holder may call and examine for himself. But they wilt find none such in circulation. One other charge is, that I have sold, mad? over and passed out of my possession all my property, with a view of evading or securing it from any liabilities that might he created against me on account of the Bank. To this, I can give a flat contradiction. I have not on that account, sold one dollar’s worth of any thing. I have now us much as I ever possessed, which is entire* ly free from any incumbrance whatever; and I have nothing more than the fair proceeds of an honorable business. All I possess is subject and will remain so, to any claims that can be established against moon ac count of the Bank or any thing else. And I myself am at iny place, and have been, und shall continue to be, ready to bo found at any time, by any person, or upon any occasion. I resigned the office of Cashier of the Bank of Macon the month of February last, since which time I have had no connexion, agency, influence, or control of iis affairs, I then considered its billn perfectly good, and its means were such as to justify that belief—that every thing belonging to the Bank was fairly turned over by inc to my successor, L. Atkinson, Kvq. will be seen by reference to his receipt, a copy of which is here annex ed, and a lief of the papers then running to maturity in the Bank can be seen at my office and will shew for themselves; and that tho proprietor ami managers of tho Bank considered it perfectly good for several months after I left it, there is abundant proof in their own statements made at various times and places. The very short period before the meeting of tho Le gislature, (when I shall endeavor to have the aflaus of the Bank fully investigated,) prevents me now from mentioning such facts, and abuses as I understand do exist, but which I have no doubt will be made appear by the proper authorities, and until all the facts are proper ly made known, I In g the indulgence of the community to suspend any unfavorable impressions. For while I do not seek, or wish to evade any just responsibilities on I hat account, I am equnlly unwilling to bear the burthen of other persons acts. ROBERT COLLINS.
