Virginia Flections*
The Richmond Whig of the 5th instant, which is the
latest date before us, says, “ ns tilings now stand, the
Whig* have probably elected 5 members of Congress,
instead of one, allotted them by the (jerrymanders. In
the House they have gained as follows—just as many as
tvo want."
The gain is set down as I t—’oss, one—which is a
clear gain in the legislature of 13 votes. Ties is do*
ing better than wc i xpected, from \\u\first gun. Wise
jsielected by a small ma only—and Butts defeated by a
mull vote.
Counter lb iters Arrested.
The following has been communicated to us by a
friend from Sumter county.
••Fidicr Brown and John D. Harrison, for several
rears residents of our county, have been arrested and
arc now in jail, for passing counterfeit Central Bank
money. The jail is guarded, and I think there is no
probability of their escape. Both of these men have
been strongly suspected of participating in the outrage
cfburning our county rccorue, some time ago ; and one
,f them, there is pretty strong testimony to prove, is of
the notorious Murcl gang. At any rate, they have been
turbulent citizens, and as one of our citizens is now on
a visit to your place, to procure testimony to prosecute,
I hope he will succeed, and that they will be brought
to speedy justice.
If these men have passed any counterfeit money else
where, the parties imposed upon would do well to at
tend and aid in prosecuting them to conviction. The
friends of morality, of law, and good order, should
promptly aid in putting a stop to such depredators upon
the public.'*
„ TIIE""CENTRAI* HANK.
Our readers will find in our advertising columns, the
proceedings having reference to the burning of the bills
ofthc Central Bank, on the 25th of last month. In ad
dition to this, from a statement of the Federal Union,
it appears, that on the 1st November last, the Bank had
circulation 81,453,833—that, since the adjournment
of the Legislature, 8479,582 have been burned—there
is also in Bank, at the credit of the Bank in New York
and in the hands of Attornies, about $180,000, which
leaves the liabilities of the Bank, now, at 8791,171.

“a change soon canto o’er the spirit of their dream.”1
1 he wisdom of tho Legislature soon found a way and
a mean, by which tho overflowing public coffers, might
bo relieved of their burthen. An era in tho Govern
ment had arrived, when a grand discovery was made !!
It. was no more nor less than this—that the State would
do better to throw, or gi vo away, or loan her wealth,
than to live upon the interest thereof. This is at least,
the practical result of the action of those times ; and all
the abuses, and wild visionary speculations that have
existed among us from tho year 1830 to 1837. may be
traced, in part, to the had legislation of the day, when
this grand secret, unknown before to the wisest states
men of the earth, was communicated to a Georgia Le
gislature. How eagerly they adopted and acted upon
the suggestion, the history of the past tells ! How the
cfTec.ts of their action arc now distressing our people,
lot them say !
In this essay, wc have but briefly touched upon the
prominent subjects with which, in continuing it, we
shall have to do. Our desire now is, to say much more,
but wc have neither the time, nor space in our columns,
todoso. We must therefore confine ourselves to the
ordinary limits of an editorial. When we again re
sume our task, wc shall be more definite, than wo have
been in this; and if the Democratic Party of Georgia
should find it proved upon them, that they are greatly,
and almost solely to blame for the had legislation of our
State, they will pardon us, for, like Brutus, we pursue
our course, not that wc love them less, but Georgia
GEORGIA LEGISLATION.
This is a subject of vast importance to the people of
our State. A fair discussion of it, by the press am. I
people, can* result in nought else than good. In the
hands of the demagogue, or the political aspirant who
goes for the success of his party, solely to benefit him-
self, neither this, nor any other question touching
the people’s interests, will ever meet with a fair dis
cussion. With such, we seek none—to such, wo have
no reply. But we do invite the press generally of our
State to review the legislation of Georgia, for ten, or
twelve, or fifteen years past, and up to the session of
1842. If, in this review of the past, friends political
come in for a share of public censure, let not that deter
the investigation ! Georgia has suffered too much by
bad, yes, by wretched, miserable, legislation. It is time
that the people’s representatives bo hold to stricter ac-
ID* During the last session of our Legisla turc, at &
meeting of the Whig Party, certain gentlemen attach
ed to it, and members of the Legislature also, were re
quested to write an address to the people, detailing the
actings and doings of that Body; Wc then learned,
that these gentlemen had consented so to do; and
have been patiently waiting to hear from them, from
then, until now. Will they pardon us for prompting
them, thus publickly, to the early execution of what
cannot but bu advantageous to the people 1 The laws
and journals of the last session can now bo had, and
these may afford them some assistance.
The Lndics’ Companion.
Tho May number of this interesting pciiodScal,
have just received, and hail its reception, with more
than ordinary pleasure, for it comes to us in a new
form, and improved in every respect. Wo were ap
prised by tho April number that we might expect a
change, and for the better too, but the reality, in this in
stance, has far outstripped our expectations. The La
dies Companion is indeed greatly improved in appear
ance. Tho plates which ornament tho number before
us, are exquisitely fine, and there are no less than three
of these. Its contributors, as usual, rank with the
highest in our country for literary fame. We wish this
“literary expositor” that success which a work, dovo*

measures well calculated to promote the people’s inter*
eetshave been rejected, and others adopted, detrimental J
to the State. But, before we go into particulars, we.
shall first take a general though brief survey of the con- ’
dition of our State note, and what it was sonic twelve !
years ago—what its promise then was, and what its
condition now is.
Georgia, at ihc period alluded to, was rich in every
cense of tho term. First, she was rich in a population. I
hardy,industrious, frugal; not given to much specula
tion, but content, the merchant to trade upon reasona
ble profit, and the farmer to till the ground for his sup.
port. How much this character of our people has been
changed,or what influence bad legislation has exercised
over them—we shall at future periods attempt to show
Secondly, Georgia was rich in her territory—in her
lands just then coining into market. And thirdly, she
was rich in the possession of money itself.
Now, with the exception of the first material upon
which, at that time, tho wealth of our State was based
—we mean her energetic, industrious, economical pop.
illation—all is gone, and the credit even of our govern
ment, at a discount of 25 percent. This is a fact which
every man knows, and it is enough of itself to urge
upon the reader the necessity of enquiring with us, why
is this so? Wc lay the fault to bad legislation—tho
bad management of those who held the reins of Govern-
ment. And more—wc may have even now had cause
to mourn over the changed character of our people, had
not the lessons of the past four or five years, restored
to their senses—for they too were led astray by the
tunes, as it is familiarly said, and have but lately re
turned that economy and industry which distinguish-
cd their fathers and themselves in “ days lung sync.”
With the lands gone, and the money gone, the only
hope for Georgia, is her jieople—a people cured of ex-
travagance and speculative habits, with their eyes wide
open to profit from their past delusions, and with hands
ready to mark the deluders.
The lands owned by the State, wc incline to think
but few will be willing now to say, have been disposed
of to the best advantage. May wc not go farther, and
say, without tho fear of its being charged against us,
that we arc unfavorablo to the people’s rights, that our
public lands have been disposed of in the worst possi
ble way they could have been. Wc know that this
is now the opinion of a vast majority of the people—yes,
of those too who wo e once advocates of a system which
aotli** general, has bcr'cfittcd none but the speculators of
ti-e country. Had these lands been otherwise dispos
ed of than by Littery, in place of increasing the taxes,
m times like these, the people of Georgia would now
have no taxes at all to pay. In place of hawking about
the streets of London, and Ncw-York, the Bonds of our
8late, offering to sell them to every broker, and bogging
loans to support the Government and to build the rail
road, Georgia would now have at bar command enough
to complete the hist named object, and would have been
saved the mortification of undergoing what unfortunate
debtors and borrowers daily experience. Now though,
•hat the lands aro gone, it is useless, to use a common
phrase, “ to cry over spilled milk” The folly of their
disposition, the people now see. Tho fe v who .dared
“Plume it were made the pol.licnl martyrs of that day.
It is now seen too, who were the wise, and who the
foolish. Georgia's loss in this one respect, it is hard
indeed to calculate. Bad legislation is the cause of it
Wise, ami prudent legislation would have prevented
it.
But, notwithstanding that this vast source of wealth
"as thrown aside, as a man would an useless garment,
Georgia was still in a condition, enviable, when com
pared to other States of the Union. In fact, she was
•fillrich. Rich, in the possession, and in tho annual
receipt, of money. Her people were never better sa.
I'sfied either, than when they wero pouring into the
Treasury that which daily uildid to her wealth. But,
of matter, as the Quarto Boston Notion, or the
World.”
