OEOIUJIA COURIER*
i If the conduct of such a paper could disgrace
any cause, that of tho Georgia Courier would
most assuredly disgince llio cause in which it is
engaged. Mot a single individual, whatever may
, be his respectability, or privacy, can honestly ■
, differ from it in opinion, hut, at once, instead ol
, opposing him by argument, and attempting to \
, disprove his positions, it assails him with seme
poisonal remark, or vulgar nhii-c. When Col.
Mu. ton was announced as a Candidate lor Con-.
gross, because he had the, honesty and indepen
1 deuce, to declare his opinions, which diflined
. from the Courier’s, it said, “he will he allowed
to stay ill homo, and study Coke and Lyttleton, ;
und llio Constitution of his country, to more ad- i
vantage.” Os our correspondents, it says: “It
is shrewdly suspected that some ol them are not
moie respectable than nullification itself. Who, j
for instance, gave him such an account us,
■ the political revival in W ilkes —he probably |
thinks vve do not know.” Now we do not think
, at all about it, farther than this, at least, that '
if ho does know, lie must bo aware that he
is a gentleman of truth and respectability,!
and entitled to the utmost credit. Os the Rev. ;
- gentleman whose letter vve published, it says,“he 1
■ had better stick to his trade.” It “says, 100, it is
well known there are hut two rmililiors in the I
county, ['Columbia] ,‘i they are youngsters I".om
■ Ting vve know to be fdse, and it is ■
doubtless as wilfully as recklessly so. Aslo what J
he says,of hearing two gentlemen say they would ■
semi back what nullification Tracts they bad, wo
’ can only reply, that it'll bs turn, and they will do
so, vve shall be glad to receive them, and -can
make good use ol them.
He assails,lon,the gentlemen vv ho are engaged
in co-operating with the citizens of Hamburg, i
in preparing a Dinner in honor of Gov. H.vmii.-
to-’, and cull" it immodesty, impropriety, unfit
ness Ac. die. as though lie supposes them so
ignorant as not to know, that they have an un
questionable ritylil to extend such civilities whan; ,
they please, how they | lease, and to whom they
please — while lli. ■ v infringe not on the privileges
of others, and leave to all others the same liheily.
The Courier remarks, “ it would have looked
better (or bis [the Gov’s.] Ifarnbmg fiends, to
have invited lo the dinner the Gov’s, proselytes,
and those they wished lo become such.” Well,:
■ how knows he that this was not done! It was!
- understood here, that the citizens of Hamburg (
designed to invite their friends and those of the
Guv. on this aide; but the letter, deprived of the
gratification of giving him a dinner in ibis city,
wished to testify their respect for him, by co-op
erating in the preparations; and their urgent re
quest to do so, was politely granted as will be
seen by reference to the letter of the Hamburg
Committee of Airangemeiits, which was wnltcn
bcfv.o our last publication, and would have been
■ i nb’ishe \ vvth the,account of ?hv Meeting, but

, i upon I who iniei I.’real with !or who interrupt
-1 ed ? that the lechugs ol -iii parties should have
. been wantonly aud gratuitously assailed as they
i have been? And is it not an outrage ofthe
grossest character, lo assail vvith such language
i as that ot the Courier, a highly respectable por
-1 tion ol our citizens, for nothing more than an ex
tension of civility mid res; eel to one, to whose
i public services and patriotic influence, they be*
■ j lievu they, in common with the whole South,
I owe much, ns well as ibo people of Carolina?
The cause ofCatofma is equally the cause of the
whole South, and lfie differences of opinion on
1 the subject, exist throughout this whole South, us
, Well as in that State.
; Wc will give another instance of the good
! breeding aud gentlemanly manners ed the Con
i.rier, viz: “We wish them joy of the good
! things they may collect at the proposed feast, for
their days, like the 1 days ofthe wicked ’ in gen
eral, out few und sho:t. Mat, drink, und he mer
ry. for to-morrow ye die.”—Comment on such
1 language, is unnecessary. Rut one opinion cun
be entertained of it, by any gentleman, be
his political opinions what they may; and vve
arc satisfied that it is not countenanced by any
of the respectable and intelligent of our oppo
nents.—lis peurilo vcmaik* on the meeting of
the subscribers, at Mr. U vviak’s Coin;.ling loom,
are vv v rtliy only of the contempt they must un
iformly inspire.
The following is the letter alluded to above :

in his expi essions of enmity or resentment, wo
I could nut have misunderstood him, had he de
signed to insult us. He met us as a friend, and
parted from us as such, in his usual way. In

from his dislike of nullification he would have

Tile duty on each yard of Cotton bag
ging, is ft cents on the squ ire yard, ft is gene

therefore, on each bale of Cotton bagging, i, 33',

dollars, Tims, every planter at the South, who
raises 100 bags of Cotton, has to pay a tax of 33,'
dollars, on bis bagging alone, besides other du
tics? This tax is purely a discriminating tar. ;
because it is paid exclusively by the citizonsjif,
the Cotton growing States. What would our
planters think of a discriminating ruuEcr tax
jto the same amount I Suppose a tax-gatherer
' to go to one of our planters, who raises 100 bags
1 ol Cotton, and to tell him, be mils*, pay the gen

reasonably ash, “ Does the planter of Kentucky |
pay the same?” No. “ T o-s iln> farmer of
Ohio?” No. “ Does tho farmer of I’untisylva

1 j Cotton, amounts lo the enormous sum of 70,500 I
- j dollars. 1 aking the whole of the seven Southern '
t States, and they do not pay short of 353,000 dol

■ 353,000 dollars, from which the balance of

What are the farmers of the South to call a dis

uiif oquently happened, that individuals least ca- ,1

loudest in their abuse of her public men, and
her political doctiine. In these argmnent-i-;
live discussions, the “two youngsteis’’ have I
often and repeatedly, endeavored to vindicate |,
both. These were friendly discussions, enter-1»

the ojiionions of others, and of testing the coi

B i verimienf gives it u public. character.
, j Impressed willy the importance of the
great variety of interests involved, your
; committee have executed the office ns
1 signed them, l»y inquiring generally, into
i the proceedings oflhe hank, not only for
the purpose of ascertaining whctlier its
, powers had been violated or nhnsed, to
; the injury of the private and public inte
rests of the country, hut with a view to
j obtain in formation for the ns© of the
I House, and to suggest, sliould Congress
determine to continue a national hank,
sni h modifications ns the proceedings of
•he existing institution would 6?cm to
have rendered necessary.
Adhering to these rules, the commit
tee believed it entirely within their pro
i inee to iiii|iiire whether the influence of
•he hank, acknowledged by all to he of 1
vast control, and, if improperly directed,
of dangerous tendency, had insinuated
itself either into the management of the.
press or the direction of thctlovernnient,
fhis could only he done by on examina
lion of the traitsaelions of the hank, willy
the editors and public functionaries,
And here (he committee wish to ho dins
tinelly understood, that they do not pre
tend to set up the absurd idea, that edi
tors or otliecrs me excluded from the
right common to the rest of the citizens,
of borrowing money when and where
they please, (rum hanks or individuals,
without being answerable, to tlie slight
est degree, to any person whatever. Hut
w bib' this admission is demanded by tlm
clear rights ol'lhe parties to v horn U re
lates, it will not he denied, that if they
■obtain more favors than the rest of their
li'llow -citizens, it is, at least a just cause,
of complaint ugah.st the hunk, and how->
ever they may he innocent of any impro
per or sinister connection with (hut insti
tution, it does not, by any means, dis
prove the fact, that some other influenza
may have been intended to operate upoiy
their minds wholly unsuspected Uv them*
it the time. If, therefore, it sliould ap
pear, that Hie individuals received larger
loans than those who are its usual cuslo--
mers, that they receive the loans without
the security usually required under cir
cumstances not known in imy other ease,
d would seem to the committee, that in
stead of a complaint from those whoso
transactions with tho hank have time
been investigated, thegrijsvunce is entire
ly on the other side. Whether such ea
ses do exist, (he committee will leave to
the better judgment of the House to
decide, upon the facts which they huv©
collected, and now respectfully submit.
It had been repeatedly alledged that tho
bank had employed its funds for the pur
pose of subsidizing the press, and the
charge was reiterated during the debate
upon the resolution authorizing this in
quiry. The attention of your committed
was particularly drawn to this subject,
at an early period of their
by a communication from nn editor of a.
\evv VorU paper, who had been accused
I I • a member of rhu committee, through
| the president of the bank. The evidence*
relating to Ibis ease will he found in pa-
I pees marked Hand it, and in which an*
j presented (lie following facts:—On th*>
-tlib of illmvli, I*3l, it .Ur. Wilns M. Har
rows applied to the president of tho
bank, and informed him, to use the lan-
I gunge of the president, that ‘‘he wan "
desirous of befriending Dir, Noah, and
assisting him in the pnrehnse of n shai'u
In a newspaper ; and lie asked if tho
hank would discount the notes of these*
parlies, adding that, although as a mer
chant he did not, wish to appear os t\
borrower, or to pnj his name on pa -
per not mercantile, yet he would, at any
lime, do so, whenever, it might be neces
sary to secure the bank. Ido not recol
lect (says the witness) whether he then
mentioned the time which the noted
would have to run. The committee he,
ing author./.ed to discount any paper the,
ccnrity of which they might approve, u
rci'il to do them. As Mr. Burrows was
going out of town, I (the President and
witness) gave him the money out of my
own funds, and the poles were . after
wards put in my possession, They re.-,
mained with me a long time, as I had lio
occasion to nue the funds, nor was it
till the close of the year that my attention
was called to them hy tho circumstance
dial a new hoard of directors nnd a new
coinmiilce of exchange would he apoint
cd : the same committee which made the
loan should consummate it, I had seen,
also, jn the public prints many reproach
es againl the hank for lending money to
printers in d editors, and I was unwilling
that my loan made hy the bank should
seem to he a private loan from one of its
olliccrs. Having no use for the money,
it would have been perfectly convenient
to U ( the loan remain ns it was, hut I
thought it right that every thing done l«y
the hank should always he distinctly
known and avowed, and, therefore, gav o
the notes to the chairman of the commit
lee, Mr. TBunms P. Pope, who entered
them on the hooks.” This is tho ac
count given hy the president himself of
the transaction in its origin. Tho n*o
«ey, tjjtlSUlOO, warn advanced on the With
of March, the notes hear date on tho Ist
of April thereafter, and were ten in num
ber for fifteen hundred dollars each, with
the interest added on ns they respective
ly became doe, which was on the Ist of
April and October©! - ihc years 1533, ’33*
'3l. and amounted, with the irtter
-1 est thus added, to $17,97ft. At the time
they were entered on the books of tho
bank, on the 3d of January last, the pres*
dent received Hie money for them,
These notes wore placed on the books of
the bunk at tins time, and it will bo seen*
oa (be of March they were withdrawn, \,
as Will appear hereafter. On the 9th oIV u
August last, after the foregoing transac
tion bud taken place, J. IV. Webb and
M. M. Noah mnde nn application to the
hank for a loan of £30,01 it), accompanied
by a letter from a gentleman formerly
a director of tho Hank of tho Unded
Stales, to the president ol’lhe bank, inlhe
following words; “1 cheerfully forward
the enclosed as requested. 1 see no rea
