on litis ticket has openly avowed that he does
not care a —n for either of the candidates
for the. Presidency, but that he supports White
for the purpose of breaking down the Union
Party. With this avowal of their object,
can Union men hesitate on which side to ar
ray themselves ? Will they encourage, by
the assistance of their votes, or even by a
cold neu trality, this attempt to deprive their
party of its ascendency; or will it not rather
incite them to increased ardor in the defence
and maintenance of doctrines which we con-
eider of vital importance ?
The Congressional ticket of the Union
party, is every way worthy of our confidence.
In point of talent, fidelity, patriotism, and de-
votion to the interests of Georgia, it cannot
be exceeded by any ticket which can be nr.
arrayed against, it; and in all these qualifi
cations we believe it to be far superior to the
one which now presents itself in opposition.
Upon our next Legislature, too, will de
volve much business of momentous interest.
They will have a senator in Congress to elect,
and for this reason, if for no other, there
should be a general turn out in October, in
order that this important office may be filled
in accordance with the wishes of the people.
The opposition are active, wary, and perse-
vering. They will ndt fail to profit by our
supineness, but it will rather stimulate them
to fresh exertion. Should we neglect our
ascendancy. A force loan <tf tvyo ra .illions
of dollars had been declared’ in the city of
Mexico, against which the - English and
French ministers entered their protest* and

VO*. THE SOUTHERN BANNER.
THE CENTRAL BANK AND THE SUR.
PLUS REVENUE.
The determination of Congress to distribute
the surplus funds of -the Government amongst
the several Slates, seems to have present,
cd a serious question for the determination
of the people of Georgia. Several modes
have been suggested by which that portion
to which we are entitled, is to be disposed of;
and amongst the number, that of placing it
in the Central Bank, to be loaned out to the
people of the State upon the plan now gov.
erning loans of that institution. This recom
mendation appears to have alarmed the fears
of the editors of the Federal Union and of the
Constitutionalist for the safety of the liberty
of the People. By them the Central Bank
is regarded as an engine whose Takings are
likely to subvert the foundations upon which
our free and happy institutions rest. Allega
tion is one thing and ilaproof another. The
charge made against that institution and its
management is one of uncommon gravity,
and should be sustained bv unquestioned tes
timony. The position which these editors
have assumed impose upon them, the duty of
sustaining all their comprehensive charges.
The Constitutionalist has ventured to give
one reason against distributing the money

It is asserted that the establishment of this
Bank has increased rather than diminished
the pecuniary, embarrassments of the citizepg
of the State. The writer of this article takes
issue with the Constitutionalist upon this dec

either evidence or liberal reasoning. Upon

ELECTION IN ALABAMA.

Here he brought them to dead halt, and
having' disposed of a portion of his force, so
as to prevent the Indians if possible from. es.
capiug, rushed upon the enemy with such spir.
it as to convince even a savage, that a swamp
was no very cool or secure hiding place.—
There were supposed to ,be upwards of two
hundred Indians in all, fifteen or twedty of
whom, were left where they fell, whilst the
others, scattered through the cane and made
their escape. The route was complete.—
Such was the* hurry of their flight that they
left behind them a large amouiit of goods, up
wards of twenty horses, and three ‘ of their
children. Two of these children they fiad
evidently killed, to prevent them from making
noise and betraying their hiding'place, the
other was alive and taken care of. Jernigan
had three or four men killed and several.woun-
ded. Their names we have not heard. From
dll we can learn, we should judge that the In.
dians were most essentially whipped. Jerni-
gjan and his boys had done enough before, to
entitle them to the thanks of the country ;
their names will now be placed upon the list
with those who fought at Shepherd’s plantation
and the Swamp, of Chickasahntchie. Gen.
Sanford arrived soon after the battle, with four
or five companies of horse, but the enemy
had scattered, and at our last advises could

hood long, the place will evidently get too hot
to hold them, \
INSTRUCTION IN MUSIC.
Louisiana Election.—There never was a
r.iore absolute extinguisher of the hopes of the
apposition in, the South, than the late result in
Louisiana. Judge W hite,asthechosen of«the
spotted pig party,”($oaptly christened from his
speech in which he described a renegade, by
way of showing that he never could become
one,) most admirably suited all the purposes
lor which-the coalition designed him in U° u
isiana. He was-represented ,to be a south
ern man—a, western man—a Jackson man.
The bank party electioneered for him as an
anti-bank man—the tariff party ns an anti-tdrijf
man—the uullifiers as a force bill man. All
■••is friends, of every branch of the opposition,
could give him such a character from past
profession, as was calculated to wheedle and
cozen honest republicans to act with, them!
They plied all these arts in Louisiana, for the
purpose of returning a majority to'the Gener
al Assembly, and securing the reflection of
Seuator Porter. But duplicity has failed in
the remotest State of the South, where the
opposition have hitherto held a sort of divided
reign. They have found Judge White a,deaid

seems, however, to be n portion of the nullifi.
cation creed, and as such, demands some at.
tention. If Northern men are content to rest
under such an imputhtion, they are more mean
spirited, cringing and degraded, than we take
them to be. But to the extract:
S! The result lias assured the Union men
that they are the strongest in the county, set.
ting aside illegal votes. We are by no means
dispirited. Our opponents were beaten in
1834 and 1835, further than we are in 183G.
We confidently look forward to the next con-
test, for a different result. The Presidential
election Will then have passed away, and
candidates will stand before the people not
on the ground that “ every man at the north
is an aboliitionist at heart,”'hut on their own
individual merit.
We look upon the abolition excitement in
the South, as the worst kind of nullification.
Whenever gentlemen become so emboldened
as to rise before the people, and publicly pro.
claim every man in the.Nortben States an
Abolitionist at heart, and that in defiance of
their declaration to the contrary, then affec
tion for the Union must forthwith cease to
exist.
Could we entertain such an opinion of the
Northern men, we should wish to hold no com-;
munion-no fellowship with them, much less so
licit their suffrages.
Those Northern men who voted for the
tiulkfiers in the past contest, will have to re
concile the matter with their own consciences.
If they can stand by silently, and permit
the fair fame of their ancestors and friends to
be traduced—if they can permit them tb be
denounced as Abolitionists and enemies to the
people of the sputh, ready to apply the torch
to their dwellings and the knife to their throats
—if they can, like the Spaniel, lick the hand
that smites them, why, be it so, they will soou
find themselves in a most unenviable rondi.

Gaines made a mistake of this kind, in rela

events have demonstrated that a similar error
has been committed in reference to the pres-
cut strife with the Creeks. A large portion
of the actual fighting, during the campaign,
has been done since those having the direc.
tion of the war had proclaimed to the world,
that it was over, and ended.
