But startling though it may be, we can show 'that it is so, and will briefly do ,t—leaving the reader arrive at his own conclusions, from lho facts which “ TlmDa^Bank, that corrupt and broken institution, i, appears from the Journal of the Senate of 1834, re. coived much of lho fostering care of Mr. McAllister Every body knows now, what it was, and what it is. Ev- ery tax payer in Georgia feels tho effect of its corrupt management, and will feci it for years yet to come. But in 1834, much of the evils suffered by the people on ac- count of this rotten institution, could have been prevent ed, had Mr. McAllister displayed either wisdom or fore. rid,. He was the leader of his party in the Senate, and when tho hill to re-charter it, came up on its pas- aaae, lie could have prevonled it. But he would not. As"anti-bank as ho is now, then he was more than a Bank man. Mr. McAllister even refused to vote for tho ap. poratment of a committee to examine into the condi tion of this Bauk, before it was re-chartered. Rough shod lie went in to re license it, and riding over the wise opposition which was made lo it. I.o carried hie meas ure; and the passage of that hill has cost the State near one million <f dollars; all of which has to be made up out of the hard working, tax paying, people of the State. Let them refer to Journal of the Senate, 1834, pages 238,239, 290 and 291, and they will there see, in re- chartering the Darien Bank, how reckless the legisla. lion was!° Even ordinary precaution was lost sight of, and, for the benefit of a few, the many were made to luffer. Such legislation stamps Mr. McAllister as unwise,to say the least of it; and he would scarcely make a safe Governor, who would, as a legislator, thus act. Had the proposition of Mr. Dougherty been adopt ed, the Darien Bank would not liavo inflicted so deep an injury upon tho public purse. It may, indeed, l.avo inflicted no injury at all 1 At present, we will proceed no further with this sub ject. We intend to resumo \t in our next, and add to it many other acta which received the support of Mc Allister, and which have alike proved disastrous to the people. And in pursuing the subject, lot our readers forget not our intent! NVe present fads to show, that Mr. McAllister's judgment and forecast were at fauit in legislating—and if we make out this position, it follows that he will scarcely, if elected, make a sate and prudent Governor. ‘•A ROLAND FOR AN OLIVER.’* We copy the following from the Federal Union of list week ; ONE CANDID WHIG. “A bitter, if not a very prominent Whig of this city, remarking on the death of General Jackson, says, tho firing a hundred guns and hanging the Capitol in mourn ing by Gov. Crawford on the announcement of the death of Gen. Jackson, was useless and improper—that it's all fudge for tho Whig party to make professions of sor row for the doalli of Jackson. It was all hypocrisy and for effect; for his part lie was only sorry that ho did not die twenty years a go!” Now, the object of the Federal Union is easily per ceived. It is locast censure upon the Whig party, because an individual member expressed himself as stated. We deprecalo such a course, but ns it is necessary some times *‘/o fight the il—l with fire” wo would ask that paper what it thinks of the following. NVe know a Democrat—one wiio is distinguished in bis party, and who figured largely in the late democrat ic Convention—who, when the paper containing the announcement of Gen. Jackson’s death was handed to him, after reading it, exclaimed, with a hearty laugh at the conclusion, “well, the Democratic party made agreat deal of capital out of tho old General when he was alive, Row Iiq ig dead, we will see how much more capital we can make out of him l” This wo give ns a “Roland” for tho Federal Union s 'Oliver” and not that it pleasures us to hold up individ uals of the opposite party, out of political life, or their •entimonts, to public condemnation. Wo have read the Ggouoian’s article in reply to °ursof |a 8 t week, and shall answer it in our next, as have not time to do so, in this number of our paper. We will here, though, take occasion to acknowledge a correction which that paper has made, where it eubsti* 'nice the Graves for the Tassels.case. Wo incorrectly deferred to the latter. But wo believe, the principles involved, in both are to nearly similar that it matters liUlo whichwo referrod to, so far as they are concerned. What Mr. McAllister did in the one, we presume ho w °uld have done in the other. ^Isaac Brinson, of Baker county, whilst riding IkrougU an open pond, was stricken by lightning, and jwUotly killed, There was another gentleman riding bis rear, who foil from his horse by tho shock, witb* ■ m however receiving 4ny injnry.

The Texan Congress, it seems, have acted authoritatively and finally"\tt assenting to annexation; and in recognizing the popular Convention to meet under President'.Jones’ Procla mation, have limited the action of that body to the adoption of a Constitution for the State of Texas as a member of the American Union. mr. McAllister and the cherokee PEOPLE. When Mr. McAllister ivns n candidate for tho Legislature, from Chatham counly, in 1834, lie was no doubt anxious to he elected. But for all this, wo do not charge him with being so extremely anxious as lo court a certain vote by traducing a portion of the peo ple of his own Slate, And yol some will ho uncharit able ouuuah to do so. It was a warm contest. The Northern vote was largo in Savannah, and in a local election, (lie vote of tho Cherokee people could exurt no influence. Could the motive, then, to secure tho Northern vote, have mado Mr. McAllister use lho lan guage ho did? Wo can hardly think so, hut some do cliargo it upon him. Bo this, though, as it may, times have changed, and now, Mr. McAllister is a candidate before the whole people, and is no doubt solicitous of the Cherokee vote, ns well as of tho good wishes of the people of that portion of our State. If so, he should explain. Doe6 he now believe what he did believe, and didassert in 1834? Docs he now believe tiiat the foil spirit of abolition is within the surface of our own Slate 1 that the people of the wheat growing community are un sound so far as slavery is concerned, and that our rights, left to the "supreme sovereignty,” are in danger of be ing wrested from us? In a word, docs Mr. McAllis ter now entertain the following sentiments—senti ments expressed by him in 1834, in a Fourth of July Oration? If he dues not, let him speak out! If lie does, it is right that those whose support Ire seeks, in his candidacy for Governor, should know in what high eslimation he holds their patriotism, and love for our domestic Institutions. tbnMMfftU» JMter by. and ho from which Ha Well that mercy Each one parform. hip labor ehaatfolU, and in liloaoa. .pint of tan illation it .xcitad by ‘each man’a work being known toil •aparataly examined.

Th.it examples of pardons judiciously granted, do sometimes operate successfully in the cause of extin guishing crime, basso long been deemed an axiom in penal law, thal in every organized government, a dii- cretionnry power to extend pardons, is vested in one or another of its departments. Our Legislature retains ill its own hands the power over life and death — leav ing to the chief Executive Magistrate, that, over cases ol less consequence. The just and skilful exercise of this power, imposes a responsibility of no ordinary magnitude, as it must affect for good or evil, the essen- til*interests of society. It cannot be doubted, that cases nre rare in which it should be exerted materially to abridge the term of sentence ; especially in regard to offences, which it is the plain policy of the law should receive full and certain punishment. Yet it may not be denied, that instances of this kind occur, where the continuance of punishment would be more grievous to humanity, than the interposition of the pardoning pow er could he offensive to principles of justice.

[FOR THE GEORGIA JOURNAL.] PENITENTIARY--No. 5. [concluded,! Having thus far considered the subject in connex ion with its bui.dings, Its finances, and its management generally, 1 return to tho operatives ; tho discipline and moral influences employed lo affect tho three pur poses of the iaivs prescribing this inode of punishment; example, public security, and reformation. These nre the great ends of the system. It was never design- d fur purposes of revenue merely, or valued by dollars and cents. To prevent the commission of crime by examples judiciously selected from each class of them; to establish a just system of retributive punishment, measured by lho degree ol guilt—and in ils application, to convert tho felon into a n-eful citizen, are I Ins high litoral purposes, deemed possible by humanily, and in tended by the law. Financial prosperity is therefore a mailer of secondary importance only—a means aux. diary to tho accomplishment of the principal ends. To punish offenders without taxing llte law abiding and industrious citizens of the statu to support them during their period of probation, becomOjt a measure of policy, a. it is one of right. When this is done, a great pur pose has been accomplished—for public punishment does not then encroach on public prosperity. If this position bo correct, as I am of opinion it is, tha ques. lion ol finance—or in other words, the ability of the institution lo sustain itself—assumes a consequence, secondary only to the principal objects sought to be at tained. It will be readily perceived, that this part of the system can never prove successful, without a high de gree of integrity, nbility, and industry, he allowed lo direct the labor of l he coil vie ts. And if, under enlightened management, the institution not only succeeds in pro curing its own support, but proves a future sourco of revenue to the Slate ; if it shall succeed in rooting vice from tho hearts of any who have unfortunately yield- cd to its seductions—and restores them to the bosoms of despairing friends, with habits of industry, and re solutions of amendment, and reclaims to the community a useful citizen ; it will have realized tho visions, and justified the confidence of the philanthropist; and it will have effected a purpose beyond those conceived at tho lime of its formation. Tho history of the institution, up to the year 1844, proves that to far from supporting itself, it was sustained by annual contributions from lho public purse. Sii co that lime a change lias come over its fortunes —it is now on the rising ground ; and as already has been demonstrated, ils operations have been successful, and profitable beyond expectation. So far from requiring a tax on honest industry for its sup port, it bids fair to protect that industry from taxation to some oxtent, by contributing a revenue for tho sup- port of Government. I have already adverted lo the discipline of the in stitution—a few additions*! remarks I would offer before closing. Tho system ia in the spirit of tho law, mild but firm. The convicts appear to feel that their pun ishment is what lho law prescribes, and the consequence of their own misconduct. Conformity to the regula tions of the institution, secures their persons from any other infliction. They are not rendered desperate by violenro, or obdurate by harsh language and reproach unreasonably applied. Taught to regard their punish ment as springing directly, and only, from laws they have violated, the prevailing spirit among them is that of aubmis.ion to its authority—ami the hope, that good conduct and coutrilion may procure n mitigation of its severity. No potty tyrant is allowed lo indulge in the malicious pleasure of aggravating their distress and goading them lo madness, by word oract. The officers treat them as human beings, possessed of the ordinary feelings of the race, and by the compassion of the law again to enter on the busy stage of life, purged of crime and to strivo for a station among men. Hence there are no conspiracies to escape—no smoihert-d feelings ol revenge ip prospect. No imploring look of agony—no pardon, seems to bo n subject of much solicitude with the present executive—and so far os I am informed, has been exerted with a caution and discrimination, worthy of all praise. An instance of it occurred under my own observation, attended by somu circumstances of touching interest, and as it will tend further to illus trate tho moral government of the institution, a short account of it may he gratifying to such of your readers as have had no opportunity ol seeing and judging for themselves. It was the case of a youth, who at tho age of eigh teen, was sentenced lo imprisonment for the term of four years. He had already suffered for two years ami an half. Pelitions setting forlh extenuating circum stances, were presented in his behalf, numerously and respectably signed—strongly soliciting the clemency of tho Executive, fur the young man, wheat worst, is represented to have been the dupe of an old accom plished offender, convicted of tho same crime, and now suffering tlio penalty of the law, in the Penitentiary,— After taking time for examination, his Excellency de- termined that the instance came within the reason of the law which had entrusted him with the high prerog ative of pardon. It was therefore issued in due form, requiringthe Principal Keeper to di6ch.trgo the youth front confinement. For several days previous, an aged man might he seen, with restless eye, and anxious coun tenance at times in earnest conversation with tho Prin cipal Keeper—or traversing with unsteady step the space between the Capitol, and the Penitentiary ; from the spot where our law has fixed the scat of mercy, to tho gloom^ prison where crimes are expiated by pun- islnnent. It was the father of the Convict, interceding for the liberation of his son! Holy nature seldom pleads ill vain. Aided by the powerful intercessions of persons well informed ol lho circumstances of tlio case, tlte law through its chief Executive Officer, rendered back to the poor old man, the son it had previously torn from his fircsido. Holding the Executive mandate, clutched with convulsive energy in his hand, apparent ly unresolved whether most to rejoice at tho restoration of the prodigal, or to grieve for tho disgrace into which he had fallen—the aged parent hastily entered tlio Of. fice of tlio Principal Keeper, and with emotion silent but deep, placed it in the hands of that Officer. But na ture soon decided the struggle in tho old mail's breast, betweon affection, and offended pride. When she knocks at the portals of tho heart, it can remain closed no longer—the living current gushes forth iti obedi. ence to the sacred summons. The appearance of his liberated boy. disrobed of his prison garments, and clad in tho decent vestments of social life, worked powerfully on his feelings. Silent indeed he sat, but lho half suppressed breathings, the repeated changes of countenance, the convulsive quiverings of the lips, the quick glances of his tearful eye, betrayed the deep emo. lions that passed in rapid succession through Ins ho. soul, in which joy seemed lo predominate. Perhaps, too, he was thinking of the moment when the grief from mother's heart should beat responsive to the hap. piness that animated his own ! The painful silence of the scene, was at length brokon by the voice of the Prin. cipal Keeper, who addressed some words of admoni- lion, in substance as follows, to tho youthful convict. "In consequence of the many palliating circumstances attending your case, the Governor has granted to you a pardon. Nor would even these have proved sufficient to procure il for you, but for the confirmation of tlmm afforded by your exemplary conduct, since you have been under my observation. This has given evidence to my mind, of your being a fit subject for Executive c'cinencv—and I have united my recommendation to those laid before him by your distant acquaintances and friends. You came here young—a mere boy—at an ago when it seldom happens that tlio heart has become loo vitiated lo admit of repentance and amendment,— You have had leisure to review I he course that conduct- I ed you hero; anil you have learned by sad experience, to perceive the wisdom of the maxim, that "honesty is the best policy.” I hope it is your intention to pro. fit by knowledge so dearly bought. Especially do 1 hope that you will endeavor to atone for the wound in flicted on tho feelings of your relatives, by seeking to regain a character that shall bo creditable to you and them. To three things I desire especially to call your attention—and you may rely upon it, that according as you adhere to my recommendation concerning them, so will bo your future destiny. I know not w hether you were ever addicted to the practice of drinking ar. dent spirits to excess. Hut let mo counsel you, never to touch it in any of its forms or modifications. You have been here sufficiently long to suppress the pro. pensity, if ever you possessed it — but lot me warn you that experience shows the habit may he easily rev.ved, and that Its cravings are never to be appeased, except by the ruin, body and soul, of the unfortunate victim. In all cases he scrupulous to observe and discharge whatever obligations you may enter into, to the best of your ability. He cautious how you incur them—but execute them with fidelity and remember this rule im plies tho necessity on ycur part of using diligence to place yourself m the condition to do so; a failure because of neglect in providing the means, is a moral wrong. By doing this you will establish a character for voraci ty, entitling you to tho confidence of your fellow men. Bo regular in you attendance at places of public wor ship. Few things contribute more to gain tho cohfi. deuce and good will of mankind, than respect for tho religious institutions of thocountry. Even those who have no religious sentiments of their own, will give you credit for this manifestation of them. And I can scarcely think that a compliance with this custom, will not improvo your heart, and influence for good your fu- lure life. In compliance wilh tho Executive mandate, I now restore you to your Father, who will conduct you to the hoaurn of your relatives—where I hope by good conduct, you will regain a station that shall alone for former transgressions, and give peace and comfort to hearts to which you have been tho cause of disquiet and sorrow,—as well as justify my rccommcndaliun to the Executive, and the pardon he has extended to you.” Deeply affected, tho Father and Son left the room, and departed homeward Who could withhold the prayer, that advice so feelingly given, should Uc blessed to the benefit of tho recipient? I had designed entering somewhat at large upon the subject of tho hospital, its management, and the health of the Convicts; and to notice the system of economy that pervades the Commissariat, and every department connected with tho institution—hut my hours of lei sure having drawn to a close, must leave those subjects with tho passing remarks, that since the 3rd day of January 1845, lo the commencement of my communi cation, not a death had occured among the prisoners. Tho Hospital department during that tirno has been un der tho care of Dr. T- F. Greene, to whose unremitled, and skilful management, tho institution is under Pro vidence indebted for this exemption from the usual mortality. With one short reflection, I shall conclude. It is too rauolt the practice with political partisans, to affect to undervalue whatever of benefit is derived from an Administration to which they are opposed. Nothing is allowed to be well dono, or worth doing, that proceeds from it—and where,they dare not deny tacts, or disputo effects, tlio miserable artifice of ridicule, is resorted to —as if it was a test of truth. Blinded by party raitcur, there is no access for the light of reason and justice.— But do not these rabid partizans deal unfairly with th« understandings of the people, or rather underrate iheit^ from each county, to Carr’s mill, on Town creelt, on the third Saturday in August next, to Dominate a can- didate for tho Whig parly, to represent said district in the Senate of the next General Assembly. Resolved, That it bo recommended lo the Whig par. ty in each of said counties, to appoint delegates to said meeting in conformity with the foregoing resolutions ; and that these proceedings be published in the South ern Recorder and Georgia Journal.

And as much additional trouble and ex pense will be incurred by this new arrangement, we confidently look to our old subscribers and llte Whig party throughout the Stale to exert themselves and give tlio Journal a still larger circulation than it has at pro- sent. As other papers in the State have adopted a plan lo promote the circulation of their papers, during tlte en suing canvass for Governor and members of the Legis lature, tho Editor of '.he Journal also adopts the fol lowing : A NEW PROPOSITION. The approaching canvass for Governor will doubt less be of an animated character, and attract a more than usual degree of public attention. Intending to devolu a considerable portion of our paper lo Lite dis cussion of the various questions involved in the elec tion, and desirous tod.sseminato as widely as possible tlio principles we shall advocate, we are induced to make the following proposition; We will furnish the Journal until after tho October election, 1 copy for ' 73 cents, 6 copies to one nddre.s, for 3 00 10 “ “ 3 00 At these rates no accounts will be opened ; but Ihe cash must accompany all orders, and the paper, will be stopped whenever the time expires for which payment has been made. It will require but little exertion lo procure a large number of subscribers upon the abtvo terms; and we would respectfully urge upon oar friends the propriety of immediate attention lo the subject.
