the State, it will in thirty yean control tho Legisla
ture." Thcso are hi* two grand propositions. And
let it be remembered that by the education of tho
State in the second, ho,moans us to understand tho
College, otherwise his argument is wholly without
force. Wo will now put his argument in form.
•• Those who control the College control the educa.
tion ofthc State, and those who control the education
of the State, will in thirty yean control the Legisla
ture"
“ The Presbyterian Church has had tho control of
the College for more than thirty yean. Therefore
tho Presbyterian Church controls the Legislature.”
The logic is certainly correct. Is the conclusion
true ? Who would not blush to moke such a decla
ration ? Tho whole of this labored argument is
sophistical, in the highest degree. It is an artful
use of ono groat fundamental truth, so interwoven
with what is not truo, as to be well calculated to dc.
ccivo. College education is not general education—
is not that education which is calculated to affect re
ligious views and particularly sectarian feelings.
And how far from truth, as facts again most clearly
prove, is the assertion that *• fivo men engaged in
tho government and instruction of s College, will
do more to strengthen and establish their Church,
than five times that number can accomplish in any
other way !" We again refer to facts ; and will
for mere argumont suppose his first proposition true ;
viz: that the Presbyterians have ever controlled
the College. What, have these Presbyterians been
doing in Franklin College “ for more than thirty
years ?” With all their mighty “ preponderating in
fluence over tho plastic minds of the embryo lawyers,
and editors, and statesmen—and their control over
tho Legislature,” they do not now number fivo thou
sand in tho whole State. This is certainly a glori.
ous triumph—a splendid victory—a most triumphant
establishment of the truth of Mr, Oliu's propositions,
and of the. orthodoxy of his creed on education ! !
The creed is unsound ! !> And the assertion so far
from truo, that it may without tho fear of refutation
by facts, be assorted that one active, intelligent,
pious minister, wholly engaged in preaching the gos
pel, will do more to establish his church, than five
men ofthc same talents and zeal, can do in tho samo
time shut up in a College. I do not say the one
man, in preaching, will do more good, but I say
he will do more to establish his church. And hence
while the Presbyterian ministers in, the southern
States, and particularly in (Georgia, have been ope.
rating upon the minds of young men in Academies
and Colleges, Methodist and Baptist ministers have
been operating upon the hearts and consciences of
tho citizens at largo, by there greet means which
ever have and which over will bo successful to any
considerable degree in building up more sects.
Colleges are useful, and all important to the great
interests of science in general, and perhaps men
who aro qualified for stations in them, may he as
useful fo their fellow men, when engaged in thoir
instruction, as in any other sphere. But I do
not believe that a ministar of tho gospel, while an
officer in a College, can do a tenth part as much to
lmild up his own denomination, as he could in the
same time in publicly preaching, and in the exer
cise of tho other legitimate functions of his min
isterial oifico. I want no better proof of this than
the state of the several denominations in Georgia
at this tunc.
The subject upon which I shall next remark, is
his friendship for this College, and the motives
which have influenced him and his friends to pur
sue tho course which they havo followed. A man’s
conduct ought to square with his professions. “ And
it is not my fault that tho courso which he has
pursued in this business, has not tended to give me
tho-institution? Why didhe not long since raise
his warning voice ? Ho was hero four years, and
during half that period the only Methodist officer in
tho College. And at that time the College was
more decidedly Presbyterian in its government ano
instruction, if the having officers of that denomi
nation made it so, than it ever has been. During
the whole of that period, he recommended ho Col
lege to his Methodist brethren—never intimated its
dangerous tendency. Aftor an absence of two years,
he accepted office in it again, and continued two
years longer, recommending it to his friends.—
There are more of the officers at this time of other
denominations, than at any period of his connexion
with it. If he believed what ho has now publish
ed to the world, was he honest to his friends, was
he just to the State, for which he cherished so much
good feeling ? He says, “ the records of the Geor
gia Conference will tell bis friendship for Franklin
College.” And so will some of his own brother
ministers tell of his friendship for it at Washington
in the Conference last January. I would refer him
to the Rev. Mr. R. and the Rev. Mr. T. both mem
bers of that body. Perhaps he will recollect some
questions which one of these gentlemen propound
ed to him in answer to his fiuendlt allusions to
this institution ? I close with nearly his own words.
Designs have been attributed to me by Mr. Olin
wlu eh I never thought ofj as motives to actions
which I never performed.” It U undeniable that a
conspiracy was formed against this College in Au.
gusla, and that Mr. Olin did advise tho adoption of
such measures as were well calculated to destroy it.
“ His true motives are fierhaps known only to tho
searcher of hearts—every man, < however, will form
his opinion on the subject, and I give it as mine
that he was in the fir:t place actuated by sectarian
bigotry—by a desire to prejudice through,” not me,
(for 1 do not, Mnd trust I never shall, consider my.
self the pillar of my church,) but through the Col-
lege, the interests of tho Presbyterian Church—
“lie wishes to establish the truth of that pn gnant
assertion, made in Tho .Friends of Equal Rights,
• the youth of our State, its future hope, are at the
University, brought under an influence which is
calculated to turn them from the faith of their fa.
thors,’ ” and, therefore, their fathers may well pause
in sending them to such an Institution—or rather
'their fathers ought not to pause in sonding them
to Hnndolph.Macon College. And I give it as my
opinion that he was, in tho second place, actuated
by that noblest of all passions, “ caccclhes scribendi.”

Union Ticket foe Congress In placing at the
head of our editorial columns, the Congressional
Ticket of the Union Party of Georgia, and in pledg
ing ourselves to its support, perhaps some of our
readers may deem a few words of explanation ne
cessary. It is true, that among the candidates,- there
ire persons to whom under tho old distinctions of
Troup and Clark, we were politically opposed,
well as a portion who have always received'our sup
port. On the nullification Ticket also, are names of
men to whose present elevation wo have lent cur
feeble aid, but whom we ^ can sustain no longer;
The reason of this apparent change jvill be obvious
to every one who has read the Banner from its com
mencement ; but to thoso who have not known it
through its whole course, the following statement
may ndt be an acceptable.
At the time we commenced our present career,
neither party in Georgia had.cmbraced Mr. Calhoun’s
heresy ; on tho contrary, with tho exception of here
and there a straggling agitator in the ranks of
each, both parties utterly repudiated it. We had
been known as Troup men—our predilections were
in favor of that party, and we acted with it. But at
tho same time we had hoisted the “ Union Jack”—
we nailed cur colors to the mast, determined to sup
port the supremacy of the stars and the stripes, as
long as our glorious Union should be worth preserv
ing. We locked upon the Carolina doctrine as
tending to destroy the sacred fabric our fathers had
reared, and hence we wero ready to pass over minor

Mr. Olin was right, how was Mr. Mitchell wrong?-
If it wan “ open and manly” in Mr. Olin, how could
St be mean—tlio part of a err in Mr. Mitchell ? I
confess 1 hat I see no way by which Mr. Olin can cludo
the force of his own reasoning, except by the argument
of -Ssoji’s Judge ! 1 lam however neither approving
nor disapproving Mr. Miishcll’s course. I knew no
thing of his suspicion!:, or his plans, until they wore
published. I am only showing th-at Mr. Olin’s argu
ment, in his own justification, doubly justifies Mr.
Mitche!). For there is ono very important difference
in the two cases,, and a difference altogether in Mr.
Mitchell’s favor, vis: that if Mr. Olin was injured in
his character, or reputation, ho had tho means of
chowing i) ie falsehood of the charges, and therefore
could not suffer any permanent evil. But the course
which Mr. Olin pursued was intended to inflict« blow
upon tlu College which would have destroyed it for-
etcr. The plan was so laid, and tho means wore so
adopted, as tolearo no opportunity for tho friends
of the institution to defend it, before the sentence
would have been pronounced and executed, nod
Mr. Olin and his friends waited till the rising of tho
legislature, and then commenced their public stric
tures, it Would certainly have had some appearance
of open, wanly conduct. Was a year too long to
disouss llie propriety or impropriety of destroying tho
only College in the Staio ? Should not sometimo
have been given the Board to look at so important
a subject, and if they had actually mismanaged a
great public interest, to correct the error ? Would
Mr. Olin have felt himself called upon to "enlighten
this genera] mind” if Judge Longstroet had been
elected ? Does not every ono know, that Judge
Longstreetbi defeat was the sole cause of this
furious attack? That had ho been elected, Prashy-
tcrian infl—-nee, and dangerous tendencies, would

If Mr. OUn believe what ho assarts’ respecting the
dangerous and unjust tendency of the Coltege, how

We the undersigned, have taken lessons in pen.
inanship under Mr. B. F. Stephens, and judging from
tho improvement already made, feel ourselves author
ized in recommending him to the public as qualified
and skilled in teaching this important branch of
literature, and we think his system the best we are
acquainted with fur business transactions, either for
gentlemen or ladies; and do therefore recommend
Mr. Stephens to tie patronage df a liberal public;
his deportment whilst among us being strictly morel,
and his attention to business unremitting.

' Retort of the Bans Committee.—The reader will
find upon the last page of this day’s paper, several
extracts from the majority report of the Committee
appointed to investigate thn affairs of the Bank of
tho United States, a careful perusal of which ought
to satisfy every candid mind of at -least this truth—
that there exists in this country a monied power,
claiming to be above the people, superior to the Taws
of the land, independent of the restrictions of its
own charter, and treating with tho most dignified
contempt,. all authority of Congress over it! It
would have given us pleasure to publish the whole
document, but its length was too great; the extracts
given, however, detail all the facte in relation to
the attempt of the Committee to perform their duty,
and tho obstructions thrown in their way by the
Bank managers. Wo invite every man to read
them, and then make up i is mind Whether an i«Hi-
tution which can so unhlushingly'violate its own
charter, ought to be suffered to retain it. Let it lie
remembered, that the 23d section of the charter of
the Bank provides, “ That it shall bo at all times
lawful for a committee of cither House of Congress,
appointed for that purpose, to inspect the books and
epantine into- ’the proceedings of the corporation
tion of this division, which'presumption may be ro.
butted by any other circumstance in favour of the ad
cused." See Acts 1833, pages 201 and 202.
