’ nfn/ n-vtli.—\h. Harlow of Bttrke,
fi .wed t r a reconsideration ot’ so iniieb
°> l Journff sis yesterday u* .c-
I des % the passage of a biff to he enti
tled an act to create a Central Ban! - .
In support of the motion he said, that
it would tie recollected that on the pass
ageof the bill, it was not discussed on
its general merits, those gentlemen who
had taken part in attempting to regu
late irs details, having become too much
fatigued to enter into debate on that
subject. It was a a bill of gieat impor
tance, and he hoped that the hamate
would agree to reconsider for the follow
ing reasons:
Is 1 . Because it is believed to be un
constitutional. The Constitution o( iHe
United States expressly prohibits * the
States front emitting bills of credit.—
The proposed Bank is no other than the
Treasury of the State of Georgia—the
Directors are State officers—and their
acts under the law are to all intents aiul
purposes the acts of the State. The
capital of the Bank is to consist not only
of the money in the Treasury, but also
of Bank hills, Bank stock, judgments,
bands, notes, and all other evidences o!
debt which do now, or may hereafter be
long to the State. Now it is ev ider.t
that Bank hills t miler par Bank stock
umler pur the dividends from which are
already pledged for specified purposes,
and judgments bonds and notes, of
which many are absolutely bad, and
more doubtful, cannot he. considered
bona fide capital on which to base the
issue of promissory notes —and it is be
lieved that all notes so issued and based
upon such merely nominal capital, arc to
all intents and purposes bills of credit
within the meaning of the Constitution.
Secondly it is delusive. Because it
holds out to the the people the promise
of relieving the distresses of that portion
of OHr fellow citizens who an ittifoiin
nately embarrassed by debts which they
are unable to meet. If the Directors
shall conduct the operations of the in
stitution with an eye to its eventual safe
ty as will be clearly their first duty, its
lo'ans will he accessible to those only
whose credit would enable them to ‘ap
ply their immediate wants from other
sources, and the really necessitous who
are rejected by other Banks must of
course he.exeiudcd from this. It is fur
ther delusive because the act provides
that the loans shall* be distributed among
the several counties in proportion to
their population, thereby holding out
the idea that all the citizens of the State
are to be equally bene fitted, wriien it i*
evident that the credit and solvency of
die people residing in the remote coun
ties cannot he judged of by a board of
Directors consisting* of three persons ic
siding ‘at the seat of government.
Thirdly, it is impolitic end Snexpedi
e-t. The divert tendency of the es
tablishment and operation of this insti
tution will be to vest a ( oner and influ
ence in those intrusted with the manage
ment of its concert's, dangerous to the
liberties of the citizen*. If it be true
that money is power, it is no !es true
that the control of money gives the same
power as does the possession of it. The
debtors of the Bank will constitute a
large class, who by their own influence
and that of their friends w ill cause them
selves to be unduly felt in most of the
elections in the State—anti li.e time is
not d;t.:nt when the tables of the Le
gislative Hulls will he loaded with peti
tions for relief from tlie r.dorsets ft.,
insolvent debtors to the Bunk.
Lastly. Another important reason
for a is that the rlctinte
r-ftrsed to agree to an amendments the
h:,l w*hich “’11111(1 have removed some of!
the foregoing objections to it. Were :
Members of the Legislature prohibited
from lv otning debtors to the Bank ei
ther as principals or endorsers its was
proposed in the amendment alluded to
there would he less reason to fear the ef
fects of tii it undue influence which it is
believe; l may he exercised over tile poli
tical affairs of the State. This reason is
the more to be regarded as it is founded
upon those principles which are known
to be ■ nep ruble f’ otj! the nature of man
i Koskssja.

a want oh act of viiiany was couiinhted
in tie- destruction of tiic property of Mr.

Gin House was set fire to by some itti
kiiov.n person, and consumed, together
with nearly his whole crop of cotton,
(18 hales) muon gin,&c. His horses
were left tied in the building, hut the in
cendiary had sufficient humanity to
loose them. His stacks of fodder. Which
were about three founds ot’ a mile dis
tant were also set on lire and consum
ed. The tors, although not extensive,
is still a very serious one to Mr. 3cost.,
(who is arr industrious planter and just
commenced with tin- world,) as it is the
principal part of the product of a year’s
labor, besides valuable implements of
husbandry.
That part of the Cherokeb Nation ly
ing in North Carolina, has bv a late law
ot that State been placed under die ju
risdiction and cognizance of the laws of
die State, and is now known as the
county of M.vcox, in compliment to the
individual from whom out town receiv
ed its name, and whose virtue and long
tried patriotism will ever be venerated,
bv the people and their representatives
in North Carolina.
It is now generally known, that the
Central Hank, established by our last
Let islet nr*, is likely to be soon put in
to operation ; and from the ability, pru
dence. and acquaintance of the Direc
tors with financial alfatrs, and with the

we may calculate on a judicious man

It is truly gratifying that the Darien
Hank has been faithful to its promise,
and complied with the requisitions of die
Legislature—that of redeeming .semi
annually £75.009 of the Darien Bank
Hills in the Treasury.
Froi/r all that we can learn, the Da
rien Hank is preparing to restftne busi
ness. and from its former ch.iraeter, and
the judicious operation proposed by its
piesi tit Direetrns, we may safely antici
pate an eutiie resuscitation of the In
stitution.
Notwithstanding the potverful hostil
ity which for a year or two past hns
been leagued against the credit and re
storation of the Darien Hank, it will, it
hat, despite of every impediment intend
ed to defeat its triumph, redeemed it*
pledge to the Government and more
than vindicated the expectation of its
friends. The question may now te eon

It may not be known to our renders, that
a similar feeling prevails in tlie Legislature
of N,Carolina, relative to tlie Sunks, oiul the

CH-e in this stain,whicll caused the establish
ment ot tfie Ctmtral Lank Such \v Burn
to bn the dilemma of the people ill that
state, as moessary to call for luensuros llut ,
Would at least give a prolvugeit indulgence
and temporary relief, if not an actual bene

quired Ijere, (and vve cannot say hut it was)
n similar application for il in N-irth-Caroli.
ua is Handed on iiecesshie, in our opinion,
exceeding those ottliis community.
Ihe indication, w l>.eh frequently attract
our attention, ot drovtsoi negroes pas-tog
through this place, seeking a more taady
tparket than can lie tumid hi Imme, gave ns
((-■-sides other itdutruutionj to understand
tout great pecuniary distress prevails in that
state Indeed, it was hut h tuvy days since,
that vve saw a drove ot about 140 negroes
from oue neighbu,hood, and formerly be
longing to three or four respectable and o
pulenl individuals, passing farther South,
andhave suite then seen several individu
als hum an adjoining county, with a like
cargo ; which emphatically bespoke *• hard j
hints. ’
Alter these striking evidences, we were
prepaied for souin evi-ullul and eifi-ni-nl le
gislation ; and lue recent determination ot
itie ttuie Bank lo bring its business to a
close, demonstrated that urgent necessity
demanded it. About Unit time, toe Legis
lature directed an enquiry, by cumUxiliee,
into its condition Iwo reports were made,
—that by the majority in tavor, that ot ilie
minority advvise to the banks; the former
-tan s that the Banks have not literally com
plied with lilt it charters and palliates their
course,under the dift'e.ent circumstances ot
tile limes; —the latter is enliix-iy opposite,
and in a plain, but bold and emphatic lam
gMßge, as-erls that the bank-, have not only
transcended and violated their charter in a
shameful degree, but also, wdli a mischiev
ous and ruinous effect. After an able de
lad ot nil the circumstances ot the Banks
trom their establish went, staPng th - man
ner ami requirements lor their operations,
ice. ice. and then the entire disr. g rd to

cludes with the toliowiiigr
“ It appears that the people of Nort'.i-
Carjlina, having already paid to-th°

profit ot abotit 4,0(f0.9iHl dojiars on their
stock—stock too, three fourths of which
was Manufactured hy t'y Banks them

sum, exceeding four limes the atno'.tiit
of actual capital stock ever paid into
Bank according to law, they still hold
the notes of the people for move than
5,C00,0ii0 dollars, about lour times the
.liiiouttt of lue whole ch culaiirg mi rlium
of tlie State. Thus it is in the power of
the Banks absolutely to extinguish t!;t

people to the -amount of about 4.080,000

! nr these reports ate now Metping
whilst the consideration of the Legisla
ture is diverted end given to another
branch of the subject.
We allude to Mr. Fisher *s bill to con
solidate the several Banks of the State,
and to establish anew one to be called
“ The Bank of tire State of Norik Car
olina.” This bill has many of the fea
tures of that of our Central Bank, and
some of the leading principles are sub
stantially the same. The Bank is in
tended to suit the wants of the commu
nity, and the emergencies of the times.
When this bill was first read, .Mr
Fisher, its author* (a gentleman of re
spectable talents, alul who was formerly
a member of Congress from that State)
addressed tin; House, apprising it of the
necessity for such a measure, and stated
w hat course he should adopt. The re
marks of Mr. F. are a concise and inter
esting history of the banks, A: their dif
ferent and ruinous effects with the com
munity. He first enquires “shall we
net?” and then “what shall we do?”
Satisfying himself that it is expedient to
act, he pioceeds to show that his bill
contemplates the nearest approach to a
correction of the evils now existing.
He tells the Legislature, that so recent
ly from the hosom of the people they arc
aware ot their condition—that they call
for help, and from the present Legisla
ture it is expected. After enquiring
what are the facts, as regards the Banks,
he continues—
“ He believed it was in tlve year 181!)
that the Franks had tite largest amount of
notes in circulation. The only nffioiul
statements of the Banks, however, are
from the ypar 1823 to the present time.
From these it appears that in 1824, die
Hank had notes in circulation to the a
mOunt (Ag 2,972,276. And at this
time they have in circulation, SI ,809*.
288 :—thus having, in tite space of four
years, reduced the circulation £1,163,-
9&R, nearly one half of the w hole amount
or nearly at the rate of <*300,099 a year
and during the last two years, at a still
more rapid rte.
If, in a commercial community, where
the medium circulates quickly, and all
classes, at short periods, receive the pro
| fits of their industry, distress would fol
low Htph a rapid diipinuticto of the *a*'t
of money in oirrul.uion, what rrtusr U’
the situation of a community purely a
gricultural, where the farmer can realize
the result* of tn industry omy once ,i
year.
But, said slr. F. I call vour attention
to another part closely connected with
the subject. While the notes have
been truss rapidly withdrawn from eir
eulalion, the debts to the Bank have
been reduced in a much smaller
ratio. In 182;’#, the amount of debts
due the Banks, was S- r fil>Bs,'<o9. lu
11128 they are tJ5,17 , .),517. Shewing
a reduction of only 510t,192, or at the
rate ol SBO,OOO per year—w hile the cir
culation diminished at the rate of SJOO,
090 per year.
We do not stop here : the operation of
calling in the notes still going.—From
the Report of the 4 .uuuiittee of Stock
holders, we seed *t the avowed inten
tion of the State Bank is to wind tip the
concern as speedily as possible; and in
pursuance ofthat plan, we see that they
now rigorously exact from their debtors
regul.u iiMalnients every 90 days, of
one-tenth of the whole debt—that is, the
” hole debt is to be paid in ten equal in
stalments. If the State Bank persists in
this policy, we must expect the other two
Banks to do the same. Then let us look
at the practical operation of this rule :
The people o-ve the Banks, ya,l7 0,5 >7.
At the end of 90 days, one-tenth of this
is requited—say $517,951; at the end
of six months, as-much more; ami attlie
eaul of nine months a like sum ; making
in nii;e months, $1,553,853. To this ;
must lie added 250 nr 300,000 dollars 1
for interest. sLtv the fiist sum—then,
you have 1,803,858.
But the Banks have at this time in
circulation onlv $1,809,000. In fact,
they cannot have that amount, for we
must suppose that since they went into
operation, a large amount of the notes
issued must have been lost and destroy
ed ; making a due allowance lor tiiis,
and also an for v.hat will be
brought in hy the United States Bank,
and by Brokers, and it is evident, that
before the end of nine months, every
note now out will be retired from cir
culation—and the People ofNorth-Ca
rolira will stand indebted to the Banks,
in a sum not less than -1J millions of
dollars.
Now. can anv community, much less
an agricultural community, withstand
this operation ! If this process were
practicable, what distress and caiamit)
would not fall on the country ? But sir,
it is not practicable—it is not possible :
tlie Bant s tn iy adhere to tlieir rule i ■-
(p iring it, but the people cannot comply:
and sb-e.d must be any set of who
could exjM'rt it.’’
