the j.irtr, mid we nrc satisfied that our course bus been
approved by a majority es those w ith whom it has al

Our correspondent does us injustice When lie places
ill in a position hostile to Major Cooper. We could
never understand why Major Cooper should have applied
any ofourremarks eielu-ively to himself, or sumach so,
as in rail from him till) letters with w hich lie hus favour

they were in spirit—thev were designedly meant tn Ire

si.e application of ourreniarks is altogether gratuitous.
The remark* which have subjected us to the censure of
smite of mu irieml", hive no personal bearing whatorer,
.ihi 1 we are constrained to ray, that those who give them
such a construction, assume to themselves a preeminence
which was neverdesignctl. For Maj. Cooper we enter
tain every respect: we arc attached to him both personnl-
Iv and politically, and while wo recognise hi* claims up

i'ROPoerrrox ox bajkis, currency and
CRH>IT.
1. Capital—money, wc.lth—amount when anali
zed, to labour saved ; not eunsumed ; laid up; tolas
employed in laeiliutiirg futire labour, and rendering it
more productive : us wliei u savuge builds a Canoe,
or a Dual owner a Steam Engine. Capital therefore
i being accumulated labour, nuy always be rendered pro
ductive of future wealth, if -mplayid for that purpose
with reasonable foresight aid skill.
2. Wealth is anything aid every thing that can lie
’ made to contribute to the ipcesaa-ias, the i ontforU, the
colive,lienees of human exktencc, whether in a great
er or u less degree.
Capital is whatever eancomm md the sou and em
ployment of labour. Its ppduelne quality is ow ing to
this property.
3. Capital appears in tht form of llie precious me
tals, in all tile lorins of real uml personal property, in
all the forms of evidence if debt due, and every shape
of pap r currency to which public estimation Ivus affix
ed an appropriate value.
The characteristic of Capital under whatever form it
appears, is its capacity es pirchasing human labour,
and employing itproauctknly. Whutever is so, per
forins the only important fuiclum of eupital, and is
practically synonymous wili Capital!
Capilal may ho considered as ou the average pro
ducing two legal interest# to tile operative employer.
Ten per cent in Engl owl; 12} per cent in the United
States.
The credit-system of the United States in particular,
though following British crumple to a far greuter ex
tent, regards skill in business when accompanied by in.
dustrv, frugality,punctuality and utoral honesty nsenp
ital; because when so accompanied, uml uot otherwise,
it may safely he regarded as productive of wealth.
This last element of capital, is hurdly known or put
to use among money lenders on tlie continent of Eu
rope : it is cautiously encouraged in England, w here
the Scotch Hanks anil Savings Hanks huve aided its
encouragement; still, some concomitant evidence of
other lorins of pro;arty eceni to lie required in that
country. Tils Industry of the poor is more encouraged
in Scotland than in South Britain. The general and
long prevailing want of a circulating medium or cur
rency in the United States, has gradually and most for
tunately, driven us into the plan of mutual conlidonce
in the industry and honesty of each other, and conver
ted skill cuinliiiied with integrity in business, into an
acknowledged and available capital, whereon the pos
sessor limy confidently npply to his neighbour, and a.-k
; for a tcni|>orary loan of money on the faith of it.
4. The credit system of this country is founded up
jon long tried universal observation among us; which
I lias shewn that skill i:i husine a ,accompanied by hub
)ts of i idustry, frugality, and honesty, are sure und
| successful in ans of producing wealth ; as certainly as
capilal in unv other form;and may thcreforo he safely
j counted upon, and trusted. Here therefore wo possess
| u new, most extensive, and productive form of capital;
I win reon loans ui.iy be prudently ventured by those
| who have Capital or credit to loan. Long-continued
: scare ty of capital insufficient to answer the numerous
and eticreasing wants of an enterprising people in a now
country, has gradually forced tins systcmlupon Jus; of
! which every year's exjioriciice proves the safety und the
’ value and every year’s experience also, points out the
precautions necessary to guard against its temptations
i and imperfections.
5. In France, under the old regime, if a young man’s
parents liequeatlicd him 6,000 Louis d'or, lie bought a
marquisate and lived idly us one of the lower ordei of
noblesse. In England a young mill with jC 10,000 was
usua.lv put by his parents or guardians as apprentice
or junior p irtner in soma respectable linn ; and grad
ually roso to the diguity of acting partner. Hence the
cle,ailed knowledge about trading concerns in England,
where trade was honorable; and the consequent success
ol trading pursuits in that country of steady industry
aid practical good sense. I‘olitical equality lias intro
duced a like feeling among us ; rendciing the honest
pursuits ol wealth necessary and honorable.
6. In England the common mode of payment for
goods purchased of merchants, importers, and manufac
tures, i , by one or two months bill, with a discount for
prompt payment ; a two mouths hill being considered
as cash. Or
On a < redit of 4or 6 months, then payable in a bill
at two months on some re ipcctablo house; which can
be tbr rvvn in a: toe Dank reorteJ to by tho seller, anil
passed to liis credit.
Here, a merchant in New York, will trust a store
keener in Mississippi, or Michigan, living 1,500 miles
oli, 15or 18 mouths, anti rely confidently on payment at
the end of that period when his customersjv isits New
York in regular course. Nothing of this kind is known
or thought of in France or even in England. Tempta
tions to I'iHud among us, there will bo ; aberrations from
strict rccti uiie there will be; losses from imprudent
credit, and imprudent conduct there will be—but look |
ut the flourishing state of Boston, New York, Philadel
phia anil Baltimore, under this credit system of mutu
al contideuce in each others prudence and honesty, and
let every American hold up his head with pride, of these
uudomable results of well placed confidence, elsewhere
unknown. I
If it has been extended between Great Britain and
this country jealously and cautiously, it is because our
example has led on tire traders us that rouutry ; and our
confidence in each othe , has gradually pursuuiled lu-r
that she may have confidence in us likewise. At pre
sent, our circumstance# nreso prosperous, that the ac
tual w.ult , of the I luted Btates is a sufficient guaran
ty for the credit we require.
7. There an’ in the United Btales at this moment
16 millions of people. What is the amount in value
ot the earnings necessary to maintain them in their
mode of living, as it now exists ! That is, what must
Is’ the annual value of thou productive industry !
Oftlie.se 16 millious of people uhoul 6} millions are
slaves. For find, clothing, habitation, and medicine,
they cost their owners 15 or 40 dollars a year on the
average. That ia 140 millions o: dollars. Whatever
they earn, this must be expended. There remain 14 j
millions of white people—of these 7 J millions arc fe
males, and as many males, llc bict for children, very
aged and impotent persons, and paupers, 2 j millions;
leaving the productive number ot the male inhabitants,
5 millions. How much must each ot these earn to
support, themselves, the females, ehilJtun, agad, and
puli tiers, in the style and manner of living, we actually
observe t I should say, certainly not less than S4OO a
year, including the inhabitants of the Atlantic cities
and states. This will aniouul in round numbers to
a,OOO millions of dollars, rejecting theexjicnse of main
taining the slave population.
hook at this subject in another point of view. In
1836—1837, a population in Mussueliusetts of 701,331
m n, women and children, earned hy tin- tatvour ot 117,-
852 actual workmen 86,323,61 C dollars, or about l'g.l
dolla s for each head of the population. Multiply 16
millions hy 133, und it will amount to 3,000 millions.
Tho earnings of luercuntile, legal, and medical classes
in Massachusetts do not appear to have been included
in the arcount rendered.
My calculation therefore, is u approximation to
mattuf of fart, quite near enough to support the eonrlu
j sinus to be drawn from it; and we may consider the In
terchange* of productive labour among 16 millions of
|ieople in the Foiled States as amounting to the annual
value of ut leant 3,000 million* of dollars.
In France where there is hut one hank with a capi
tal of 14 millions of dollars utmost all this mutuality of
interchange of labour and commodities, would be effec
ted liy means of metallic coin, of which that country is
said to possess 600 millions of dollars worth, the credits
given would he short; the great principle Is-ing pinmpt
payment, where uratunl confidence is uot yet establish
ed.
In England, s two months note respectably indorsed,
is prompt payment. The credit* arr usually 4 and 6
months ; the payments are made in Hank Cheeks, Slid
Hank notes; or in a transfer of good hillsof exchange,
inland or foreign. The small stores resorted to by the
poor and the lower cUsae*, are generally ready money
sliopa. The poor do uot easily obtain credit in that
country.
In this country, the usual terms of credit ace 13
months, and the balances ate settled by means oi lulls
of Ineal Imnks. Coin i* only wanted for marketing and
small iwymenu, sometimes a protnisaary note is de
manded (indorsed or not) made payable it some neigh
bouring bank, where a purchaser is not well known or
fully appreciate!. But except for imsll sums, coin is
not used. The banks keep it in their vaults, to an
swer any tempi>rarv run upon them ; but where their
•Ju'cie pay menu are prompt and punctual, the chance
f • run U|Hin the bank is very remote and rare.
Formerly, ami will among theoretical writera, it ia
considered that all liutika are liound in prudenrr to keep
coin in their vaults equal to one tliut of their paper cir*
vsuusii; bat lbs bank, at .Yew Kuglau t l wlwre punc
tuality is liabituul, get ou very well in oiu.- cases with
4or 1-lUot coin. Gold is vry little used in H.otLitd,
where the banks are among the- safest as well as among
the most useful and beneficial of such institutions,
j 8. Consider the trading of Arkansas, Missouri, Mis
sissippi, of Michigan, of Wisconsin with Boston, New
koik, Philadelphia &c.. to which os yet 1 may add
Texas—all necessarily on a credit of front 12 to 16
months—yot it is a profitable trada or it would not be
i continued ; and die confidence reposed is not abuail,
or it would be withdrawn.
All the mutual dealings that this immense amount
implies, is at present earned on with llie aid of a coin
| circulation that no reasonable supposition can extend
beyond 75 millions of dollars. As credit and confidence
j extends, und becomes every where among us a system
j habitually acted on, a still less proportion of ciu will
suffice; tor no man will insist ou prompt payment in
actual coin, wlm knows that ho can depend on his cus
; turners punctuality in respect of tho periodical payment
agreed on. Metallic moucy 7 then, is only u substitute
| for credit, and more perfect the credit-system, the less
coin will be found necessary; for all business transac
tions will be made up accordingly.
, Theoretical writers heic and hi England (as 1 have
said) usually insist that there ought to he but three
I promissory bank notes iu circulation for ono melulir
amount kept in the vaults of the hank to nerve as the
means of payment should a press for coin tie from any
cause induced ; but among hanks well conducted and
, of good credit iu this country, the sperie may be but
1 1-6 of the notes in rirculatiim and the deposit*, and yet
the banks go on without suspicion or danger.
I 9. Ot the 75 millions of dollars stated to exist among
us in the shape of gold or silver coin, bv far tho greater
part is laid by in the vaults of 700 hanks and branch
j hanks, as the basis of their paper circulation; und no
small par I urn is collected by the Executive officers of
Government at thus moment (1838) at the land offices
of the west and south west, ut the Atlantic Custom
Houses, and uinong the post offices. As the cx|tendi
tures of the year 1837, 1838 are jointly calculated at
j 75 millions of dollars, it Is manifest that on tho sub
treasury plan of receiving in payment of government
; dues, nothing hut coin, the Executive fiscal officers may
1 absorb every dollar iu the UuiteJ States in the course of
| two years.
Woventv-five millions of coin, supply the hanks, the
! government and the payment of small sums, among the
1 people.
In 1836 the amount of specie in the hanks was about
40 millions; it was gradually reduced in succeeding
years to 30 millians. By tho appendix to Mr. Wood
bury's treasury report of 1837 it appears to bo very
near 38 millions. It is now probably 40 at least, as
the bunks are securing tho return to specie payments.
Government ulso is at present anxiously accumulating
the coin of tike country, so that while I write (July
1838) there is a visible, manifest seareity of coin among
the people for comm >u transactions. Tho dispersed
coinage, uot absorbed by government and the banks, is
not more than from 25 to 30 millions of dollars.
And this it the amount of coin where tenth the
American people manage to carry on with each other
a mutual an nual trading to the amount of 2,000
millions of dollars.
By what other means and instrumentality is this
done 1 Uy means of checks upon, and notes of local
hanks for moderate sums ; und notes of Atlantic banks,
or bills of exchange for larger transactions.
10. Let it lie remembered that all capital saved from
burial in an iron chest and thrown into productive cir
culation is worth to the country in these United Elates
12} per cent;and so much ia gained by substituting
bank notes and the credit system for the coin that would
othciwise be required. If my promise to pay SIOO will
pass equally current with SIOO in silver, and be equal
ly productive of 12} per cent per anum, it is equally
valuable to the community. It is the result, the effect I
that the people ought to look to ; the means, the instru
ments, tile machinery, are only worth considering, as
they are or are not clicup and easy methods of producing !
tho desired results, v it. national wealth.
11. The balances upon this extensive traffic, must
be settled cither by means of coin currency, or paper
currency. We know, that in the United States they
are actually settl'd by pro nisa y notes, and other pa- J
per in which the people place confidence. But sup- |
po ,o all paper money prohibited or prostrated would
any sum of coin, that of 630 millions of dollars answer 1
tic purpose ofonr present intercourse. Mi. Wood
bury says, tlie banks discounts alone, for the year end
ing in 1637 amounlMtlo r.'ZS millions of dollars , mid
these are but a .-mall part of the paper money used by
j individuals in making payments, being chiefly confined
to the occasional wants of cumoierriai men, rich nier
[ chants and traders, whose facilities with the banks are
, the results of large transactions. France has a stock
ot coin calculated at 600 millions. Their bank, dis
counts aliout 30 millions on a capital of 14 millions. ;
(Suppose Uol. Benton's exclusive coin circulation to !
lie enacted; where is the coin to lie found 7 Not in
England: for when we attempted to import 4 or 5
millions of dollars from that country, about a year or.
two ago, tlie ha ik directors there, cut oil'their accustom
ed accommodation to the American houses, und forced
back the excess, in cash balances to pay the debts due
from us to that country. The English bank directors
were short sighted enough to distress their own custo
mers ; and ignorant enough not to know tba/ there can
la’ ua permanent excess in the proportion of coin either
there or here, hccauso it is as sure to find its proper
level as water is.
When I liear men of gool talents in other respects,
seriously talk of un exclusive coin currency in tlie Uni
ted States, as if it were the easiest thing in nature to
bring about this utter imjxissibility, I listen with sur- ’
prise und deep regret. You cannot infringe to the
amount of 6 millions beyond the proportion warranted
and demanded by the state of your commerce, w itliout
exciting the reasonable jealousy of your curopean com
petition iu the money market, uml king stopped by u
Bullion Embargo, iu some form or other. “ Thus far
shall thou go und no farther.”
11. But supposing un exclusive coin currency and
the prostration ot all banks and bank pujier as desira
ble as our present speculators insist, where is it to lie
found 1 It is not enough that it exists ; we must
procure it from those who have it to spare, where is,
that place on til” earth open to us 1 It is evidently not j
Kuglulid which is our eoui|ielilor; jealous of every
movement in the money market. The whole supply
of gold and silver obtained annually from Month Ameri
ca, the United IStatee, Africa, Eurojie, and Asiatic Eu- -
rope, is not ut this moment to be regarded as more than
35 millions of dollars in value.
I do not swell this little tract by details On a subject
which well-read men will agree to. All Europe now
consist of eonipetitor* for bullion,hoeausa the population, ‘
the resources, the wants of all Kuro|ic are aunuully in- 1
dousing under the peace-system. The consumption of j
bullion arises from,
1. The East India and Chiuu trade.
2. The increasing want of circulating medium in
Europe in countries, rendered'prmtperous by tong |ieaoe,
but who liuve nut yet adopted the crcdil-sx stem.
3. The immense consumption of bullion in utensils
for the table, articles of furniture, gilding, plating, horse
and c irriuge harness, watches, trinkets Aie. The silver
table furniture of Great Urilain is probably equal to
that of all Europe tieside. All the plated Mure, is lost; I
for the silver ia not worth recovering.
Hence we find, lb annual supply ot the precious
metals, every where liocoming gradually unequal to the
demand. But if it were not so, we could not procure 1
them but by brmging|thrin with articles wanted abroad ; j
of these, we have hardly any but the staples of the j
southern states; and our chief market for these is Great
Britain and France. From tlicscjtwo countries, which
have no coin to spare , we take pnv in articles equally
necessary hi us as com. These articles they will readily
give us, and coin they will not give us. Where then I
ask again, are we to get the bullion necessary for a coin
currency 1 And when we have gotten it, we must in- -
atantly erect banka of deposit to keep it, and draw checks ‘
on those bauks. Wo niust pay them lor the trouble we
take i and if we do not permit them to discount our own j
funds must he taxi'd to remunerate them.
The whole eclu’ino of an exclusive coin currency,
sratns to me founded upon utter ignorance of the com
mercial details of actual Imsinnaa. A vision of chisel
s|Mirulators, who have uo other qualification of legisla
tor, except the power of making Uws, faml the deter- <
niinstion to exercise It. The turning topey-turvy all ,
the leseoni of |ust expeiioeee, and the utter inipoesi
fillity of executing their own viriomiry proposals, are
objections that weigh with them not one straw. Inti
rant Legislatures, plecJun tur Aehivi. Krom ignorant
obstinate theories in congress aud the administration, ,
the |people have suflered for 10 years past, evils uot ex
ceeded by ■ desolating war.
12. To carry on au annual trading intercourse be
tween 16 millions of people to the amount wl -uoj
millions of dollar daring a year—.ut intercourse ex
tend ing to all distances from 1-1 of a mile to 1500
miles, is manifestly impossible by mean-of a coin cur
rency uot amounting to $2 1-2 per head, as the cast’
at this moment,4 am satisfied, actually is. It c nby
no other means be accomplished than by mutual credit
founded on mutual confidence in etch oilier, and sup
plying tlie place of that coin which is not to In- found.
L it not evident that this mutual credit and mutual
confidence will, upon a general scale, not be reposed
unless in persons whose conduct aud character reason
ably justify it! Will it be given knowingly to the
drunkard, the idler, the spendthrift —to the man who
loses sight of puiicte ility in the performance # of his
promises and undertakings—to the man whose word is
worth nothing—to the man who has earned a dishon
est character 1 I think not: uud my reader w ill boos
the saute opinion. If a man goes to u store with cash
in band to pay for what he wants, the storekeeper asks
no questions, makes no inquiries. If am in goes to
the sumo stin c, ami asks for goods on a credit ot 6 or 9
months, the storekeeper will be lirst satisfied that this
customer may be safely trusted.
A good character thenAfor industry, frugality, sobri
ety, punctuality, und genera! honesty is the basis and
foundation of the mutual credit system. Much u char
acter is an acknowledged and efficient Capital, on
which the Possessor may borrow in case of need. The
man of un opposite character, cannot: he vviil not be
trusted. I,: this nothing in tho scale of valuation 1
True, many deceptions take place; many rogueries uie
practised ; confidence is often abused ; stilli I put it to
the reader, Is not this the general rule—is it not the
foundation ptineiple of credit and confidence 1 Is tho
value of any coin currency to lie put in competition
with this most salutary principle 7
This system of mutual credit cannot go on without
writh'd memoranda of its existence; such ns promises
to pay certain sums ut a future day, or orders to the
! same purpose on persons indebted to the debtors, Ac.
All these being of very limited currency in the neigh
’ borhood, though evidences es the wealth ol the posscs
{ sor, are received in thut character by persons of large
j property and credit, who combine to lend out their ow n
credit on interest, lie uuse their promises to pay arc
trusted and received as equivalent to cash through a
largo district of country. Hence, individuals give cre
dit to the promissory notea of bankers, and bankers
give credit to the promissory notes of individuals when
| guarantied by the endorsement of one or two jicrsons
I of character.
I Ujion this pliui of miitnul credit, ihe business of the
country is transacted, und balances paid up in the notes
of local hunks, whose punctuality in inlying their own
notes on deinnud, keeps them iu constant circulation,
with few or no demands tor jthu amount on the banks
who issue them. Eaah man fully confiding in his
neighbor, that when the premise ro pay is required to
I be performed it w ill bo performed. Mo well placed was
this confidence, that in the northern hanks for instance
the failures of individuals indebted to the bunks on
loans, might lie insured ugainst for one half of one per
cent of the gross amount loaned or, discount. Home
part of this result may be attributed to the profcrenco
, given by debtors to b;uik debts.
( Concluded next week. )
i To the Editor of the ilarati Messenger :
Though I incur your disapprobation, us expressed in
; advance, I must nevertheless remonstrate nb you iu
! your naitntiou of tli currency question. What I shall
1 suv euimnt be otherwise, tlinu in a spirit ol kindness as
I well as of eourtesv. The friendly relations which have
’ so long subsisted between us would not )>ermit me to
! say aught offensive te vonr feelings. Whilst tben I
( treat with the utmost respect and delicacy your motives,
’ I will lie permitted by yon to question the policy of your
J course—l speak of Vox K agitation of the currency
question at a moment when you enn accomplish no
i luudulile object—l am sure you euterlnin no other—anil
i when you may do great mischief. If I mistake uot, you
1 were u member of the Convention whirl, nominated the
• present State Rights ticket for Congress—whether you
were or not, it is true that the nom inn lions were then
• made with a full knowledge of the opinions of many, if
i lint all the nominees—and that they did not harmonize
imi the currency question. Was there any ,Cn. i, u 1 >l,
; made in the ge'nerul pledge'lo support the nominees 7
i If not, are you not still under amoral obligation to sup
port Ihe ticket, unless new matter for opposition lias been
presented to von 7 Were not the uominutions made ith
a full understanding llml the currency question was to
lie excluded 7 Tlie opinions of Major Mark A. Cornier
on the currency question were ns well known at Mill
edgeville, before lire meeting of the Convention, as w ere
thou- of Ihe Hon. W. C. Dawson. The latter gentle
man's opinions on the question hail been proclaimed at
i bis post al Wuliinpim City—those of the former were
I openly ami fully, mid frequently avowed at Milledgevitle
: surly in tin* session. The place to have denounced his
! opinions wait iu die Convention, or nt tardiest, iinmedi
atelyoathe return of the members of that body lu llitir j
constitusnev. But lam very sure Major Cooper would
bo uuuiirg the. very lasi men in Georgia to uvnil Iriinsell
of this arguiueut. 1 do sons n member of the State
Rights party. As member of that party, I claim that
voiiand the parly are hound to abide bv that nomina
tion Iu good laith, unlese grounds not then known are
presented, furnishing reasons for tn abandonment of it.
Recollect 1 nm speaking of, aud for ir uhsent man, who
knows tint of your last assault upon bite, and who may
not he in Georgia iu time to vindicate himself. I may
therefore be allowed to sn v more of Inin than would be j
necessary, were he here. When f say thut hr is a high |
minded, independent uml tnleuted man, I only afliin wlint |
■ill who know him admit. That be is an ornament to
our party, und would Is! a highly v elnuble acquisition to •
an v party, is equally true. Sir, there ure men of the Stute
Rights party whom it would be dangerous to goad and
irritate—men who might be driven from our ranks into ,
those ofonr adversaries. Is ilgenerous. magnanimous,
or just to press Major Cooper, because he is a innn whom
no opposition can move from his purpose ! Ann mny |
nnnov him —von (I mean the pnrly) may drive him ns’
it nny any honorable man, from the active concerns ,
of Ihe partv, to the seclusion of bis own dwelling, 1
whence he baa been drawn oulv te serve his country in I
Florida, or to accept the nomination of those upon whom 1
von now coll to discard him, if lie will not allow liimvell
to tie catechised in a manner incompatible with bis dig- 1
nity, ami for no useful purpose. Aou call upon him to \
snv lie is opposed tu Van Huren. Can you expert him!
to answer that iiaeslmif To that enquiry lie cun only 1
answer as John Randolph did on a mamonilile occasion 1
be very absurd for u mini to anv to tlie State Rights Con- 1
vention which nominated our congressional Ticket, 1
Gentlemen, you have given us ihe Homes of Mine men to :

vour liekel; but we cannot do so until you satisfy us
on tint point. Aud yet your enquiry of Major Cooper
would Jiistitv thut. Sir, do you believe that Major
Cooper would have accepted lu* nowiination if be lull!
been a Van Bun'll man I lint yon wish him who lias
been as bold mul niicoiiiprinnisiiig ill bis deuuuciatiiiiisof
Van Huron no yon have been, to sav tlint lie will vote
for Van Huron under no contingency. The meaning of
which in plnin English is, that you would hind him by
enclose a pledge that he cniuiot evade it. Do you not
see the insult which yon oiler to mi biuiornble inde

thy of vaui confidence, and consequently vour vote.
Now, Sir, allow me to psk you, what will he the result
of the aueeess of your course towards Alaair Cooper 7
Suppose you defeat his election, whom will you elect
over him I Necessarily n Union Van Ituren Soil-Treas

I answer lor von—you would, lieeaiioe lie eon iiinods

For the Georgia Messenger.
Messr. /.,/i'oM—Have you duly cuiik.tiered the mge
mnty exercised by t .e I uioti parly of this county ut their
meeting un luat Saturday; how ingemoualy they have
managed t destroy the 8t ite Rights party in seicetiug
for tliuir candidate oae ot those individuals before nom
inated, hv u party which tms always bitctt opposed to
them in utmost uvery principal ofvitulity. It is wed
known that they now tally calculate upon running both
the oilier* iu upon the strength Uol. Lamar's name
will give to Ihe tiedet. Another tact is its equally cer
tain tit it il they hud the least shadow of prospect of dc-
Icatmg him. they would us soon selected any utliur
perron from our ranks, as him. But they have tried it
sufficiently in hy gme days, tj satisfy themselves of
the utter uselessness ot attempting Ins sWleat; uud thev
can form so shallow a pretext to put his name on the
ticket. Aon observe they liuve beaded their meeting
with the imposing name of the Hub-Treasury, as though
that shall couHtrioiii all Stute Rights men, who are men
favourable to that scheme, than any yet devised to it
supjn-rt ol men who have always op|Kiscd every other
feature which we held vital as republicans of the Jetfer
soniau school, und to make the thing still more certain,
they have appointed one from our rauka to wait on the
notaineos and apprise them of their selection. Unfor
tunately lor their success, their plans are too palpable
to be exposed in the gluie of these britiniit days not to
l*e discovered. Citizens dunning the name of State
Rights oien, are not to be duped uneasily, and wo do
consider ourselves us far seperated from that party, now
us heretofore, the opposition still rankles in their bosoms
to the true policy ot slate sovereignty us did betore tho
laiuous sub scheme was rcsusciluted by the Adminis
tration. Hindi we then, because they huve coincided
w th us, in this one important feature, be driven into
tlie support ot men, who are not only produniatiunist*,
1 hut upholders of force Bill. No,
! liuve in correcting the evil ut the root, make the toun
luin pure ami it will send forth streams of health and
purify. Let us then approach the polls with afulldr
tenninatton of sending such men to the next Legisla
ture us we believe will carry oat the measures of llie
State Rights doctrine, those ure the kind of men wc
cah trust, to muko wholesome laws lor us. If it were
posihle that we could put such in ascendency ut Wash
ington, w have n*> doubt but the strife and turmoil iu
America which has originated in the distress’ sos the
country would be allayed, by the udoj turn of such
measures as would piove more congenial to the views
aud w islies of its citizens.

expresses liimselfofMortis Van Buren a*follows
I urn asked theu to make known my ’• choice” for the
next President between Van lluren, Clay, Webster, j
and Harrison ; —being a State Right*’ man, und accus
tomed from the eailiesl |h-ihkl of my |>oliticul cateer,
to look to the paitu-iplea of Thomas Jetfcrson, as the ’
only true creed in politics. I, of course, cult have no |
choice between the individuals above proponed.
| Mr, Van Buren is a recorded advocate for free negro
suffrage—admits the right ofCongres* to abolish sluve- 1
ty in tlie District of Columbia, and lauves as no safe
guard for our domestic institutions, but Lis promised
. to. H* voted against the Tariff, und made u speech
in furor of it—he was an advocate for (be Proclama
-1 tion und Force Bill—he approved the removal of the
I deposites of public money in violation of existing laws
—he advised and apptoved the Pet Hank system, to
which the State Rights’ party were unanimously op- J
posed ; ant', last, not least, lie ‘• paltered with ns in a
double sense'’ ill relation tu the removal of our Indian
population.
Can it I*- seriously supposed, aft. r this statement of :
facts, that Mr. Van Buren is my choice for President! |
If there are auy among us who enn choose him with n
ull knowledge of his political character nil I have to
say, ia, they are much more easily satisfied than I am,
It is true lie is at this time favorable to the establishment
of an Independent Treasury ; hut he has been forr.-d
into that |Kwitiotx l.y (tie successful opposition of the .
State Rights’ party of the South, and the Whigs ol the
North te his own Pet Bank system, ta which be clung
us long os there was a ray of hope to anuarate hint.
Shull his temporary advocacy es a single abstract .
proposition, involving a question as much ofexpedi.-n-.
cy as principle, out-weigh the long list of political here
sies with which he stands so justly chargeable 1 Ha t

friends were then, ns they now are, -moving heaven!

Stute ;” but nfter all that was said in support of his pre
tensiousto their favor they rejected his claims by a Iri-1

nothing to hi*support, f m ihe reason above stated, and
an are of no reformation in his principles, or policy,
