In five day* after the passage of the above act, the
Bank suspended specie payments. It could hold out no
longer. The public confidence waa totally destroyed,
aud neither to individual*, nor Banka, did it pay specie
for ils bills, w hile the Democratic Party had control of
it.
The distribution of @7.50 000, In 1840, next took
place. All know tvhat waa I in' result of tnis democrat*
ic measure. The dollar which the pour man received a'
the Bank, was, ill most instances worth tonim on'y 00,
70, or 80 cenis. The depreciation ol the money proved
ruinous to the borrower. And every where in the Slate
examples could be pointed out, where the property of
the borrower from the Bank, of what was worth to him
only 50 cents in the dollar, was sold by the Sheriff, and
specie demanded at (lie sale by his creditor*. They
would have no such promise* to pay, aa Central Bank

The Whigs of Ta but county have done as all others
should do—they have nominated their he.at and strong,

For the House oj Representatives,
ROBERT DIXON and
ALLEN F. OWEN, Esqrs.
Nothing that we can say would add to the estimation
in which these gentlemen arc lie d by Ihe people of
Talbot—honest, capable, and among the most worthy—
and having befote served the people in the Leg slalu-e,
wi-li a fidelity that commanded the approbation of all,
we cannot doubt that they will again be elected. To
suppose that Talbot county wouid fail to send such
men lo the Legislature, when ill- y cuid net tlu-ir ser-

for her own interests, nr for tl.e interests uf ilie Slate.
Dr.tS.UEAD, of Talbot, has also been nominated by the
Wltlgsof Marion and Talbot, as their candidate for the
Senate. This loo is an excellent nomination—and. al.
though the Democrats have nominated tlie.r strongest
man, Col. Towns, we doubt not but that Dr. S. will bu

| FOR 1 HE GEORGIA JOURNAL. J .
The people of Georgia are beginning lo open their
eyes to the true character aud purposes of the leaders of
the Democratic party. Under I lie delusion popular
names, they Imve by degrees encroached upon popular
rights, until the proud independence of t|m States lias
been mane lo bow aud to bend to 'he dogma',..al power
M ,ny honest-hearted
It ha* been charged that tho creation nf this Bank
was a Whig measwe. It soems I ke trifling with the
subject to notice tins charge. But if it was a Whig
nrarure, it was warmly supported by such men as Rob.
irl M. Echols. Afrcd Iverson, Thomas Haynes, John G
Pa’k, lliram Warner, Joseph Sturgis, and William B
Wofford, all of whom voted for the bill chartering the
Bulk, when it pas-mil tile House; and it was opposed
by such men as William Dougherty of Troup, Martin
M. Uyc, Eugemus A. Nesbit. Dunran Curry, of D,v
cur, and others who are wings, l’agc 228 and 2-29
of the House Journal of 1828, will show these fads.
In the Senate, upon ihe passage of Ihe hill, William
A. Tcnnille, Stephen Swain, Williams nl Bulloek, l'ow.

i', while it re eived the opposition of Henry Branham
of Pu'nam, I’eler Crawford uf Columbia, Peter Clower
of Junes, Charlton Hines of Liberty, and others, well
known H'htgs.
Upon what facts, then, any writer can base the asser
tion that the Central Bank was a Whig measure, we are
it a loss to know. The charge will nut bear investi.
gallon. A large majority, in fact, nearly all the Whigs
of ihe present day, who were whigs then, voted against
the charter—while the contrary may be said of tho
D. mor-ats—as witness, Echols, Park, Warner, Sturgi«,
Wofford, Tennitle, all creators of the Bank, and its last
friends from tho dato of its charter, to the p'esent day.
So much for the "Central Bank being a IV hig mta
lure" I It is oneof the tinny false statements made to
iniwer I he present purposes of the .parly—and it is one
whirli we would not have noticed (deeming it unimpor.
Uni whether it was, in 182S, a Democratic or a Whig
measure)—but for the purpose of showing how mista-
ken men are when they make such assertions, or how
littleBliey care for truth.
Chartered in 1828,the Bank went into operation, Goo•
(i-nor Forsyth appointing the Directors thereof.
In 1830, and 1831, Governor Gilmer appointed the
Directors.
In 1832,1833, 1834, and 1835, Governor Lumpkin
appointed the Directors.
In 1836, and 1837, Governor Schley appointed the
Ihe Directors.
In 1838, and 1839, Governor Gilmer appointed the
Directors.
In 1910,1841.1842, and 1813, Governor McDonald
appointed the Directors.
Out of 15 years, the Democrats managed its affairs
fui, anil Ihe Whigs Jive years.
And during the same period, the Democrats con'roll
ed ihe L n gistaiure, al least ten years.
No complaint of its management until 1832 was al
leged against the Bank, by cither party. It was after
Governor Lumpkin's first term of office, that favoritism
was charged upon its Director*, in discounting paper.—
But this was a trifle to what shortly ensued.
It waa when Gar. Schley bold iho reins of Govern,
moil, and when he was a candidate for re-election, that
ssismanagemenl was conspicuous, and corruption pre
sented a bold front. It was in the last year of his ad*
in niitration, that, having exhausted all the available

The Penitentiary never was in as good a condition
as it is now. Its affairs are economically and sit Ifuliy

their voles, e.wJ then to one the office? which they con
fer tn aggrandize the leaders of the party. The public
i^uod :a not Thought of, but the promo:ion to place and
power of indtvidualg 8e»Mi»A alone to b« deHired.
The D».*mnc siiir party Iwve t Ip*re»ore called upon the
people to turn Ciov. Crawford oul of office a. d i^ut Mr.
MrAHia'irr in, ami tlm on'y reason wh eh delegates
or the loaders out of: he Covoiition give for ho doing ih,
haf they want a Governor whose principles are of the
same sort of those of the parly at Washington / They
admit that Gov. Craw ford ha? done well, and acted no
b’y, and that there was no fault to find of bun f Now.
do the people think that if Gov. Craw lord hat* dmic well,
tha» it ib a good reason for turning him out, lint the
leaders of the Democrat ic arty want a man with Itko
principles to those of the party al Washington! Do
they like the way those pr ncipli s hive b en carried
out at Washington, that lh«y will sacrifice a wel
knowoi,and well ined amt faithful officer to put in oic
of whom they know nothing? Are they willing to
thrust from office a man who is laboring with thegreat
e?t economy to reduce our taxes—to pay ilie govern*
mont out of debt—to make the Peuiton'iary pay i sown
expenses, and yield a profit to the S'nte--to put Mr
McAllister in his place, because the party at Washing
ton cry economy, and vet spend annually Jine millions of
dollars more th in the Whigs—who denounce tho Abo-
litiouisiH, and yet receive tneir petitions into Congress
—who inveigh against a system of internal improve-
, incut by the general govemiu* nt, aud vet appropriate
annually three millions four hundred thousand dollars
more than tho Wires did—who oppose an equal d.stri-
button of the public la o*|f among the St ales, ami yet
g ive hi one year a million and a half dollars worth to
one State alone—and wlm ,! -imunced the tanli, had the
power and would not attempt i's repeal ? Let the peo
pie ask -h^tiiH' lveH w liat vvi I they gam by turning out a
faithful Exeru'iveto mike way tor an untried one. be
cause he lnppt*u8to be ot the earn" potmen with the
par»y at Washington. This is a question for-every pru
deni man mask Innisell—and let h:tn further ask him-
s.’lf why does ill** party proclaim principles for their
gu de, which limy will not act upon when they have the
opportunity 1 D ies not this failure and r- fusal lo aci
upon such j rioc-p o*., show that some n ddon purposes,
afraid to he avowed, are contemplated by the*e leaders ?
But it is wrong in principle that the Governors of the
States should be of the same poli’.cil party with the
Pro.,idem of tho United S'ates. They should differ,
and then the two governments "ill watch each other,
and pri-veiil usurpation. '1 hey will prove, wliat they
were designed to be, seuiinpla on the watch-tower, pre
pared to sound 'In* alarm at 'lie first approach of danger.
This is iiue republicanism. What would have b»*en
our condition, had Gov. Troup been an Adams mm m
18*26, when our title to our lands* were threatened by
John Quincy Adams, and the old treaty attemp'ed tob»
defeated? Had lie belonged to the sain*' party, and the
politics of the party at Washington b^cn made the
principles of the party in the State, as the Democrats
have now attempted the u'd treaty would have been
defeated,and the Creek li'd.rms would now have been
settled on the lands in Georgia.
VVe all know ihe strong lies of party ; how they bind
men together—and with a Pres de l and Governor
agreeing, the latter will bear long slid injuriously the
usurpations of the former upon the r ghts ol the State,
before he will resist them, forfaarof i. juring the party.
Put nv*n nf different poni es into the respective offices,
and they will watch each other, protect the country,
and the people will rest in safety. *Ii is now the lire!
tirnejnllie history of our country that any party has
called upon the people to conform their S»a:e govern
menMo ih. Federal goverrurfent. Let tins iiis duous
movement be watched, for it carries the very bane of
•>ur 1.bullies iu ihe deceitful smile which it wears.

The Iosp by the fire is now suppo* d to be about .$7,*
000.000—of w hich our iiihutaitce compamea Jose about
$5,000,000. Tney are ail terribly racked, except the
New- York (Marine,) and stock lins gone down to an
, credibly I w* point, home of the descrtpitonB selling
as 'ovv ah 3, 5, 10 and 1*2, instead ot 80. 90 and 100.
The armuiit« fCinton Inst by tut fire is 13,500 bales.
The body ol young Cowdrey, Fireman of 'dd, has
not yet been discovered. The A'ch rrnen last night ap
propriated $1250, to aid the F.remen m digging lor
their lost broGier. He was a young man very h ghiy
Btoeined.
‘The stock exchange and market quotations ar? only
nominal.
Messrs. Crocker &■ Warren, proprietors of the « o e
New 6treet, where the explosion took place, h.ive
been arrested and held lo bail. If it ih discovered ih.*i
i here was gunpowder in the store, instead of saltpetre,
ihey will he probably indict* d for a capital offence. Bui
they are both men ol the highest mtegr ty, and both
declare in the most positive manner that there was nu
lling w hatever but saltpetre, and that they had not, and
never have had, a particle of gunpowder in tlie.r store.
