We must brush away the cobwebs which old Father Tixi bath permitted to be spun around the affairs of thil Institution, aa we perceive that aome of the young nci—editors and their correspondents—or old ones, balden from the public eye, enjoying the sweets of solitudr—arc engaged m falsifyingfhe record for the rpoieof deceiving the people, and electing a Demo, erstic Governor. We must do so, lo guard the unwary "l for we are well aware that there is a large class of the community, composed of both Whigs and Dem. sent*, who need not the presentation of facts which we taall place before our reader*, to enlighten them in re- lalion to the past management of the Central Bank, and t» alarm them to a promptand active discharge of duty. These have alttady taken the alarm.—They know tbit tutprincipled efforts to elect, if successful, nny be followed, and is very apt to bo followed by unprincipled tMiilaii'tn, or by a reckless administration of the State’s iemcial affairs. Hence, these are not to he deceived. But, lest • , ’ me may he deceived, we will brush away the spider's net. so that the past history of this financial and legislation concerning i\ may bu in the mouth of every honest voter in Georgia. Such being the eaiA, we shall he content with the result of the elec- !SRf! £*. in other Banks, to be sold and the proceeds thereof lo become a part of the Capital Stock of said Bank. 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 money, and llie borrower was the sufferer. We might dilate upon this last distribution of the Bank, but we must close, aud will do so after a lew re marks. In as brief a manner aa possible, we have presented ihe above toour readers, la remind hem nf the past his tory of the Bank. VVe do so, because efforts are nia king to deceive, in relation to this matter ; aud we feel satisfiea that a mere recurrence to ihe Bank's his tory will place in every man's hand enough to coelute all the mlBstateinents and sophistry connected with it, hat may find its way lo the public ear. The facts are enough, aud upon these we have briefly touch, d. Le> the people use I hem ! Let those who have be, n heavi ly taxed, and who may yet be, lo supply the losses of this institution by ils mismanagement, read its history. and they cannot lie deceived ! For the present, we are done, but will again reeur to lli.s subject.

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- vice*, would be lo suppose I hat she cared very Intlo 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 elected by a majority of 100 to 150 votes. | 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. til Ilf Rabun, Alexander of Carroll, aud others, voted for 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 “Sen IIILMASTEII.” The ciphering which he puls forth shows Inin lo be a rebellious hoy. “Sciiooliuas. ter.” ne fear, will have to read him a lecture, if he does nut apply to hint the “rod of correction." He is the veriest bungler in figuring that we have ever lead after, making ail sorts of additions aud subtractions, ana arriving at conclusions, or "answers,” which truth re- Jjects. Were it not that his articles would occupy loo much space, we might bu indued to transfer them to ouren. lumas ; for our readers should know liow easy it ,a In pervert truth, and ho v industriously "Pvney Woods" hath labored to do so. But as we cammt do till*, we will present them with a specimen nf tins writer’s fig uring. It will be found rich mi the extreme ! Hear him ! “L-i us state the pecuniary advantages wh ch were |g:v u to the Penitentiary, by the whig Legislature of 1843. To pay Penitentiary debts, @32.000 Stock and materials on hand, 44,152 Appn'i nation for repairs, aud subsistence for 1844 and 1845, 18 000 @94,452 And yet the wings have ill" nnhlu*hing hardihood to talk about the economy of Governor Urawlord's admin istration ! I knuw of no other principle upon winch to recon cile the paradoxical notion of the "School Master’ whig*, than the wing logic of 1**1 suunn >r that Ihe. more money squandered about the Penitentiary, the greater the profits to the State. The Penitentiary of Georgia, has been a tax upon the peou'e.of 12,000 dollars, each year, since its crea tion iti 1816. Gov. Crawford’s two years, 94.452 Average for twoyears previous, 24.000 @70,45 By this statement, it will appear, that Gov. Cruwlord has received 70.452 dollars, in two years, mure than was ever appropriated before—and tins is the way whigs prove t heir principles of economy. The more that you spend the greater your saving. "A second Daniel come tojudgmen'!” Most wise con- clusiou! “Governor Crawford has received @70.452 in two year*, more than was ever appropriated belore!" Does "Piney Woods," or do the Editors of newspapers who trumpet forth such slutf, take the people to be foo'sl If they do, they will soon lied out their mistake. The people well know, that the THIRTY-TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS appropriated to pay Pen tentiary debts, was used for that purpose—but that they were debts contrac'ed while G«n. Nelson was Keepei and while Charles J- MuD- nald was Governor ; and that the who'e of tiiis money was drawn from the Trea Bury and paid out before Gen. Nelson went out of of. flee. VVe can tell them, too, more than this, that it d not pay the debts of the Penitentiary by TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS! iu audition to Ihe @32 OOOappropriated by the Legislature lo pay iho old debts the Penitentiary, under Mr. Redding's administration has jpaid out TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, and there are yet claims remaining unpaid amounting to ten thousand dollars more. Making in all fifly.iwmhnu sand dollars owing by the Penitentiary when Gen.Ne son’s term expired. And yet "Piney Woods” aliemp to blind the people, by saying that "Governor Crawford Beam of the Institution, and to promote his election, ■ , • large distribution was ordered by the Bank-and ha. received 70.452 dollars two years, more than was , I ever appropriated belore ! ’ this too, to commence a few weeks before the election This scheme was the origin of all the difficulties that | the Bank encountered afterwards. The distribution i was commenced, but after the election, it was luuod j that the Bank could not carry it out for the want of means. It had promised what it coulJ not pet form, aud j what its direction ought to have known, ere they vein* i neiiced the distribution. The Legislature waa then ill \ session; it was a Democratic Legislature, aud they au thorized the burrowing of $300,990, at 8 per cent, in New York, to lean to the people at 0 per cent, in Geor gia. Thu loan, wiih great difficulty, was effected. But tho Bank. “gutted" as it had been by Governor Schley, Rad k.s /Aircction, when it was due, could not meet its payment.

We might now, wejl ask what had become of the talhuia, that were in the Bank mi 1832—the commcnce- ment of Governor Lumpkin's tdjjjiuiatration.

The Penitentiary never was in as good a condition as it is now. Its affairs are economically and sit Ifuliy administered—and it is, for Ihe first lime since ils erection, making money. Hereafter, if left to the same wise management, it will prove a source of revenue lotlic Stale. Why this should excite the envy of any oppo nent uf Governor Crawford, Ihe liunest voters in Georgia will be at a loss lo know. Mr. “Pinev Woods” alludes in about the same man ner lo the savings winch Gdvehnor CiUiiiOiiD ha* made ol in her funds entrusted to lum by ihe Slate. He figures lohi* own notions of right and wrong, aud esu arrive at no conclusion, but tvlial is a la sificaiinu of ihe lapts. One of the fund*, lltc "Printing Fund," we will throw some light upon—not to satisfy "Piney Woods," but to e.how the people in wliat respects Governor Crawford haf economised, retrenched, and corrected pre vious abuses. Letany ouo laker up the laws of the session of 1843. printed at ihe Federa l Union office, and those of any previous year, and ho will see a great d ffercuce in the printing of tho two.

The last Democratic Convention,at M lledgeville, has shown lo the world that the object of these leaders is power and ojjice ; and to possess Hu m, they are pro paieil 'o stamp upon the people the vilest federalism and Coiisooilalion, it is ihe prole of a repulil can lo el that the States which compose tins Union are sovereign and in. ependent—that Hie Federal govern mi ni is the creature of their power, and that from them takes its grandeur and gffiry. The Federalists have ever held that the Status were mere corporations, sub servient to Hie led,*rat govoltitfieiii, and reflecting all or glory and greatness from it. The Democratic event on has adopt, d Hie principles and practices of he Federalists. A mighty cniivncaiion of grave aud unified delegates assembled from all parts of the Slate—presented a candidate for Hie cfi.ei'-magiatrncy of Hie State—an office nothing inferior in dignity and grandeur in that of k.ng or emperor, because it was the gliesi office which a tree and sovereign people ac. kuowledg, d ; and as we had a right tn expect and de. land, they have presented to us the principles on tiicli they ask our support. But what are they /— Frincip'es which interest the government of Georgia— inciplcs on which the prop e ol Georgia rely for the ailmmistration of that government which they have hi tlieir sovereignty created ? No. But forgetting that they have an iiideoendent existence, they have merged that existence and consolidated their being in federal politics ; am) hereafter, with that parly, there is no riis. unction to be known between federal politics and Si ate politics : the State is to be merg -d and forgotten, and whatever a mijurity shall declare in the National pnr'y hall lioroalter ho the controlling priocmle in Hie Slate politics of Georgia.

They iio no aii u their candidate for Governor, Itmkii g above l’n 8 dents, K.ngs and Emperors; making tlie.r own beloved Georgia fi-st and greater than all the world, proclaimed the principles winch should control us % our own affairs. They proclaimed to the federal government, iu substance, you have no cnntrol over us, bands off, and let us alone. They declared to the world as their principles, that the public debt should be ken off the shoulders of the people at the earliest practicable moment—that their tax. s should be redue d that they should not be cur.-ed vi nil unsound pap- r money—that tliov ought not to be taxed in support Hie* convicts in the Penitentiary, but that they should Im made to support themselves. These were tl.e princi ples which Ihe Whigs in meir republicanism declared for the rule of thpir conduct in S’aic uffii r*. Bui what said the Democratic par'y t We will sink the Slats in Hie general government, cm,solid,te these sovereign, lies, merge tlie.r existence, and apply to Georgia suck principles as may bu adopted for the whole Uupm.—* Tilts .s new and dangerous doctrine, never before mini- tained in this State. It will soon dustroy al! Slate rights, and unite u* ill one monarchy. The abolition ists proclaim the destruction of slavery—a majority of the party advocate il, and hence it becomes a party principle to be carried out in Georgia. Now this is not a sketch of fancy, but il is truth. A majority in Hie ast Congress, am! a majority of Hie Dem H.ratic party vo ed to receive abolition petitions—the right lo re ceive nicliiilod the r gin to grant—liere was the princi pie seal' d that the Deinoi rat c parly should support iheaboli'ion of slavery at the proper time.

Another resolution declares opposition to a protective tariff, and tlieir orators Iasi year pledged themselves to cut up, root and branch, the act of 1842; and pledged themselves upon the printed tickets, that there should he no tnx on sugar, iron, salt, and cotton bagging. The Democratic Congress met and adjourned, and did not even an much as mention llie subject, when they could have reduced the tariff, if they wished. Another resolution declares an earneal devotion to the "most rigid economy” in the administration of the general government. The last year that the Whig* were in power, they redured the appropriations down to sixteen millions fire hundred thousand dollars This waa denounced aa moat flagrant extravagance, and a promise of rigid economy made to the country.

'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.
