4S.1
This scction.il will be plainly perceived, not on-
ly authorises, but, as we have already said, makes
it imperative upon Governor Crnwford to remove
ike stock in question—It is a wise and benevolent
provision made for the purpose of placing without
the roach of political speculators, a fund intended
for the especial benefit of the uneducated poor.
But, notwithstanding that this evidence of the fact
stares him fall in the face, the Editor of the Feder
al, witii u professional audacity and recklessness
that would crimson with thatne the face of a Jeffries
deeply steeped es even hs was in legal iniquity—
notwithstanding, wo say, this plain and definite
P revision, he, the special pleader of the Federal
Inion, still persists in his unwarrantable charge in
defiance of truth, honor and honesty. By a per
verted, sophistical and quibbling interpretation or
the 3d section, lie forcos the conclusion that "it is
'after the payment of the debts’ of the Central
Bank, that this stock in common with any other re
maining assets are ‘set apart and appropriated as a
permanent education fund,’ and that the Legisla
ture never intended it to l.o used for the purpose,
until that event transpired."
Now let us turn to the third section, which we
hate placed before tho reader and unulyse its pro-
visions. From the first cluuse of this section, i>
will be aeon, tlvul1733 shares of tho stock of the
Stato of Georgia, 890 shares of the Bank of Ati-
gusta.and all the available assets of the Central
Bank, after the payment of its debts," are set apart
as constituting a permanent education fund.’ This,
as we have said is the first clause of lire section,
which we must admit is rather loosely worded—but
the/alter clause which governs nnd controls the
provision, plainly shows, that “after the payment,”
«Stc., of the Central Bank by its legitimate assets,
then, whut remained of the legitimate assets, should
'be distributed to the several counties of this State,’
&c., but that tho script, not being of the legitimate
assets of tho Central, should be transferred to tbo
' Treasury, forthwith. The latter clause of the
section wo repeat, plainly shews this to bo the
meaning and intention ol the law, for it stands
alone by itself, and is in no wise connected with the
legitimate ussets of the Central—and what is the
latter and binding clause t It is as follows :
“And the script for the Bank stock aforesaid
shall be delivered to the Treasurer of Ihe State,
and said stock shall HENCEFORTH be under bis
management and control for the purposes ufore-
•aid.”
Let it be kept in miud that this lulter prevision
stands alone,—that it has no antecedent—that it
ie in no wise connected with the legitimate ussets m
the Ccntrul, and that it orders thul the script for
the Bank quick “shall be HENCEFORTH" [IM
MEDIATELY. FROM THIS TIME FOR
WARD] delivered to the Treasurer, and not infu-
■ toro, which would, ut least, have been indicated, had
If been meant or intended that the script should re
main unappropriated in the vaults of the Central,
until that institution should he able to pay its debts.
The construction of tho Federal, is therefore, not
only o palpable violation of the plainest rule of in
terpretation, but it is also a rcdiculous and absurd
perversion of the grammatical construction of the
section, of which the veriest vvro would be asham
ed.
Is it not strange—passing strange, that a gentle
man, whoie said to boa sound Jurist and an honor
able adversary, should so far sink the reputation of
the one, and the character of the other, as to per
sist in a dogged and stubborn adherence to a charge
which he must know is altogether groundless and
unwarrantable! Such conduct is not only unwor
thy of him, but, moreover, in a high degree moral
ly culpable. It is a weak, yet flugitous effort to
destroy the well earned popularity of a noble and
high minded adversary, whose integrity is far 'ubove
suspicion.” Like all barefaced calumnies it will
recoil upon the head of its author, and instead of
injuring the unimpeachable administration of Geo.
W. Crawford, it will elevate in the estimation of
Ihe people, and increase and strengthen the popu
lar favor which he now most eminently enjoys.
To select, as our opponents have done, tho most
judicious and benevolent acts of Gov. Crawford for
the purpose of misrepresentation and censure, dis
plays a species of fatuity which borders upon mad.
ness, and cannot but prove fatal to those who may
tolerate such departure from a fair and manly pro
secution of the canvass. The people will most
certainly condemn such an unwarrantable proce
dure, and banish from their countenance and confi.
dence the leaders of a party who can descend to
the use of mean* so reckless and unprincipled in
their tendencies.—Geo. Courier.

the following !— _ _ . ^
I. Ie it not a fact, that while (he Whig party
had the ascendancy In Congress, the Sldt Rule was
sustained end Abolition petition* rejected t
3. Was not the passage of that Rule and its sup
port by the parly then in power, a matter of con.
grntulaiiun und rejoicing in the Sou'll f
8. Did not the Democratic presses at the South
endeavor to persuade the people that they were
indebted entirely to the Northern Democrats for
litis Rule, and that if the Democratic party were
in the ascendancy, tho interests nnd institutions ol
the South would be eufe in their keeping f
4. Is it not a fact, tiiut during the canvass of
1844, it was openly charged upon the Democratic
party, that they had agreed with the Abolitionists,
'.list in case they would aid in the defeat of Mr.
Clav, the Democratic Congress would ropeal the
31st Rule end admit Abolitiou petitions 7
5. Lit not a (sot, that even Birnk v , the Aboli
tion Candidate for President, traversed the coun
try denouncing Mr. Clav, and persuading his fol
lowers to take that course which wunld insure his
defeat.
0. is it not generally admitted that Mr. Clay’s
overthrow was owing to ihe opposition of the Abol
itionists ol New York, who were mainly npcruli-d
upon by Birnkv, Garrison nnd Morton, of Mus.
sachuaetls 7
7. Has nut Marcus Morton, for his services in
the Polk election, been promoted to the Collector-
ship in the Boston Custom House over the head of
the bosom friend nnd classmate of Mr. Calhoun—
a man sound in principle on the subject of slave
ryf
8. Did not the Democratic members in the last
House of Representatives prove the charge of coal
ition between them and the Abolitionists to be true,
by fulfilling their part of the agreement in regard
to the 31st Rule 7
0. Did they not, in that body, having nearly two
Democrats to one Whig, repeal said Slat (or 25th)
rule,by a vote of 108 to 80 7
10. Have the Democratic papers of the South
generally proved their sincerity on this subjuct
of Abolitionism, by denouncing this desertion of
our interests by the party leaders in Washington,
or Imve they not rather by their silence and indiff.
rence proved that they ure disposed to sanction
the treason, provided their leaders enn only get a
full proportion of the spoils 7
II. Is it fair or reasonable in presses which
sanction such proceedings and court such allian
ces, to attempt to draw off attention from their own
acts, by charging their own misdeeds upon the
Whigs 7
13. Can the lender of a party which lias thus
sacrificed (lie inteiests of the Soutli be sustained
by his fellow-citizens of the interior of Georgia for
Governor, when he openly charged them in 1834,
with being more unsound on the subject of slavery,
than were the people of the North 7
13. Would it not he advisable for nur opponents
to answer those questions satisfactorily to the peo
ple, rather than to waste their lime in making
side-hits’’ at Judge Berrien and the Whig party,
and accusing both with sympathies and alliances
which no sensible man believes thoy entertain or
contemplate ?
DISCOVERY OF COUNTERFEITERS.
An extensive counterfeiting establishment has
just been discovered in Kentucky, within forty miles
of Lexington, of which we abridge the subjoined
account from the Lexington Observer :
It is upon the farm formerly owned by the fath
er of tho present occupants—John banton—who
was far years before he left for Texus suspected
of carrying on the counterfeiting of coin ut this
establishment. Indeed, if we remember rightly,
lie was once or twice arrested many years ago
upon this charge, but being a very ustute mnn, witii
considerable properly, ho was always enublcd to
escape the punishment to which he was justly enti
tled. Finally, he was compelled to leave the Stale,
and at the last accounts from him he was in Texas.
His farm und effects ho left in tho possession of his
three sons, one of whom is siuco dead, where they
have been since residing.
It seems that some two months ago G. W. Rob-
inson, who followed gambling as u means of live
lihood, was arrested in Columbus, Georgia, for
passing counterfeit money. The money consisted
of notes on the Bank of Charleston and the South
western Railroad Bank, and such was the skill with
which they were executed that they succeeded in
passing oi.e hundred and ninety dollars, in notes of
various denominations from $5 to 8100, upon a
keen-sighted broker of that place, receiving in re
turn gold at but two per cent, discount. > Shortly
after the exchange was made, ooe of the notes wa
upon examination, thought to be not genuine, which
led to a more critical examination of them, when
they were all found to be counterfeit.
“Robinson was thereupon arrosled ; the evi
dence was such as to leave no doubt of bis guilt;
and he was sent on for final trial before the Criini
nal Court. Shortly after his imprisonment he was
taken sick, and, under the belief that lie would die,
he sent for several gentlemen and made a fall con
fession, detailing all the circumstances about tho
counterfeit money which bad been found upon him
He told them that ho procured the money as an
agent for its disposal, from the Bantons, (John and
William) in Lincoln county in this State, where
there was an extensive manufacturing establish
ment, for notes as well as coin, and that it was iu
constant operation. He accurately described to
them every portion of the buildings as woll as the
apparatus, and gave them tile names of many of
their agents for the disposal of the money through,
out the U. States.
Upon this information, Mr. A. K- Ayer, a mer
chant of Columbus, started fur Kentucky, and
reached Stanford on Friday last. The esinblislt
ment of the Bunions is ubout five mites from that
piace. A warrant for their arrest having tieen is
sued, the Sheriff and a number of the citizens pro
ceeded to the farm of the Bamons. They war,
not at home when the party arrived, hut, being in
the neighborhood, were found and arrested. They
then proceeded to the establishment of tho Bun
tons, which they searched, and found a most com.
plele and extensive establishment far counterfeit
ing: presses, one of which will weigh fully five
thousand pounds ; stamps, dies, crucibles, with a
large quantity of metals, and in fact every thing
necessary for the business. The Buntons were
taken to Stanford, tried on Saturduy, and sent on
for farther trial, to tho Court at the same time order
ing tho Sheriff to take into possession all of the
above described nrliclos.”
Western Eloquence.—The following extract
from o speech of a western lawyer, we find in the
Wheeling Gazette. It is a capital burlesque :
“Tlie law expressly declares, gentlemen, in the
beautiful language of Shakespeare, that where no
doubt exists of the guilt of the prisoner, it is your
duty to lean upon the side of instinct, and fotch
him in innocent. If you keeps this fact in view,
In the ease of inv client, gentlemen, you will have
the honor of making a friend of him, and all his re
lations, and you can allere look upon this occasion,
and reflect with pleasure, that you did as you would
have been done by. But if, on the other band, you
disregard this principle of law, and set at naught
my eloquent remark*, and fotch him in guilty, the
silent twitches of conscience will follow you ell
over every fair cornfield,' I reckon, and my injured
and down trodden client will be apt to light upon
you one of these dark nights as a cat lights on s
isssar full of new milk!

moments lie luIked rationally. By putting logetli
or the scraps of information thus communicated
we nreublo to present tjie following us substantial
ly hit own statement.
On Friday evening, 0th inelenl, he left tho Cro.
ton Hotel to luke a walk, preparatory to retiring far
the night; went into Saxton fie Miles’ book-store,
and alterwurds stopped to look ot the prints in
Coleman’s shop window, where a young man ac
costed him as nn old acquaintance: Mi.Goughdid
not at first recognize him, but ailerwards remem
bered that lie worked with him several years age,
iu the Methodist Book Concern. “This is a fine
new business you are engaged iu,” said the ynu.ig
man. “Yes it is new to mu" answered Gciuqh
“but much happier and more congenial to my feel,
iugs than my old occupations, and I hope ihut yot-
too are on the side of Temperauce." “No,” aeiti
tile young man “I can’t go that. I luke a {{last
once in a while when I want it."
Here Gough turned off, and went up Broadway
and the young man followed, and continued tkn
conversation, aayiug, among other things, (we cir
not pretend to give the exact words,) “I suppose
you are such a great Temperance inan that you
would not lake a glass of soda wulcr with a friend."
“Not so.’’ replied Gough. "I drink sods water
very often,and consider it innocent and refreshing.’’
“Thun take a glass with in..,” said his compan
ion. “No I thank you„’s-ii. Gough, “1 don’t wish
for any just now," Ton young man continued la
urge him, however, oti tile scuro of old acquaint
ance, and iu: consented, They were then
near Thomsen A: Waller's establishment, and
turned to out.-r it ; but seeing that it wus crowded,
the young man told him that they would find it
difficult to be accommodated there, and lie knew a
better placo close by. He then led Mr, Gough
round the corner, (as Mr. G. says)eilliur of Mur
ray or Warren streets, to a place where they ob
tained a couple of glasses of soda water, one of
which Mr. Gough drank ; though his suspicions
were slightly aroused by glances which he thc.'t
his companion interchanged with the keeper of tJ,c
establishment. In the taste of the water lie disco v-
ered nothing peculiar, but he very soon became
giddy,—and ns to wlial passed from that time to
this, bis recollection appears very indisliiici, and
his language incoherent. It is supposed, that the
young man did not accompany him any Inn her.—
Mr. G. had considerable money with him, part of
which is gone ; but his watch and other articles
that he carried are safe. He is now at the hou-u

residence, in Cambridge, aged 05 years, of a stop

which prematurely arrested tiie career of the gifted
und lamented Lxoabk. He was born in 1780. nnd
at the early age of 31 years, was elevated (in
1811). by the appointiiieui of Mr. Madison, to the
high dignity of a seat on the Supreme Bench of the
Union, and office whieli he filled to Ihe lime of his
death—a period of 84 years,—in a manner whieli
reflected honor on himself nnd was prolific of good

and, at the time of his death, he was the oldest

others, the whole affair must he probed to Ihe ’oot
tom, and the authors of the villsny condignly pun-
lshed. If from himself, his fall would seem, frexn
the above account, to havo resulted from some vile
udmixture in the soda water which bereft him of
reoson and self control, and made him a prey to
his old, but long suppressed appetite for strong

Even if lie were the sole uutlior of iiis niislortuo :s
und had fallen like Lucifer to rise no more, the re
would still remain this consoling fact, that a good
cause does not fall with those who profess anil ed-
vocaie it; and above all, does not depend upon the
constancy of any one individual.
The Pensacola Gazette informs us that the U.
S. sloop of war Saratoga, lately arrived there from
Veru Cruz, ‘ lay off the last named town four day*,
during which time her officers frequently visited
the place,and witnessed the many preparations that
were going on for putting it in a stato of defence.
The castle of San Jurn do Ulloa has been thorough
ly overhauled, and is now said lobe in good condi-
lion. Such is tho information furnished to that
journal. It was reported hern two weeks agi i that
the Mexicans were about to abandon San Juao.
leaving it to be taken possesion of by un enemy.
We thought this report very extraordinary ml that
lime ; for the cuslle completely commune is the
town of Vera Cruz, from which it is distant only
about 800 yards, which is less ilian point bhuik
shot from a heavy cannon. We thought the re-
ported abandonment of lhai strong placo ratWr too
weak a measure even for Mexico—ns in -case of
war withtliiscountry.it wumd infallibly Icifcd io the
destruction of Vera Cruz.
It is certainly no symptom of war that th,t ft>rti ■
ficatiohs of Vora Cruz exctiu >ged salutes \v itii the
Saratoga, nnd her ,!fi s «, re permitted -without,
interruption to visit i.,j town und inspect thu works
erecting for its defence. The populuce of Vera
Cruz evinced a higher gradcofcivilization Ilian we
thought belongud to them in refraining from com
mitting violence upon those American o dicers,
who, it must be presumed were well nrnir J, and
had a stout crew, prepared for defence, Tin tlieir

San Juan do Ulloa was formerly supposed to be
a very strong citadel, and almost impregnnhile to at.
tack.
It held out a longtime with a small Spani sh gnr.
rison, against the force of Mexico, and w us the
lust place that surrendered after the revolution
in that country. But the Mexicans could not
assail it, because thu commandant threuteciied ui
bomburd Vora Cruz in case his fort was cilouo tra
ded—and it was famine that obliged him to yield at
last under an honorable capitulation.
About six years ago it was taken by two ot three
French frigates under the command of admiral
Baudm nftor a bombardment of short duration.—
The Mexican garrison were not ahly cuinmhndrd
and exhibited little skill in the managemtint
their artillery—the loss of the French squadrt,..
being’not more than a dozen or two of men.

It is probable, should Mexico declare war, thlit in
strength will be tried and its capability of sustain
ing a bombardment from Paixhan guns will bo
rested by Commodore Conner as hostilities com
mence, of which, by the by, there is no strong
prospect at present.—New Orleans Courier.
Chinese Silk Cotton.—A bale of (Ida descrip
tion of cotton waa received Ihe day defore yester
day, by Messrs. Win. Laughlin, & Co., Gravier
street. Wo have seldom, if ever, seen cotton of
so flue e texture, and so lengthy a staple, as in the
•ample we took from this bale. It Ira* a fine, glos
sy appearance, nnd a remarkable toughness, to
which peculiarities, and its having been produced
from the Chinese seed, it owes ire distinctive mime.
It was grown upon the plantation of Dr. Geqrge
W. MoElrath, of Wnrrenton, Mi., who, we under

of seed. It affords ns much pleasure tn notice

of tlie Supreme Court of the U. S., and Dane Pro
fessor of Harvard Law School, is now no more.—
His disease took an unfavorable turn the night be
fore the last, and increased until about 10 o’clock
last night, when he expired. The Law School will
sustain a shock from which it will not readily re
cover ; his loss is irreparable ; there is not aiiuth
er man in the Union cupable of filling the plurc
for which he was so eminently qualified, with the
satisfaction, with which he presided. The man
ners of the Judge were such as rendered him an
object of adoration to the students. Their down
cast spirits and gloomy looks, during his illness,
were a sincere exhibition of the high appreciation
in which he was held. YVhat man will lie chosen
as his successor [iu the Law School] is not known,
but I have no doubt the highest talent will be se
cured."
Death of Judge Story.—It is with profound
rcgreltlrat we announce tliddeuth of Judge Joseph
Story, the oldest of tho Judges of the Supreme
Court of the U. S.,—the wisest of his associates
and one of the most learned and respected men of
the Union. Ordinnrily the loss of one man, in tlie
great multitude of men, is un event as little noticed
ns the most common occurrence of life. But the
loss of thusu who connect the present with a past
age—who have dispensed wisdom even to the
wise, and judgement nnd justice among all men,—
whose names are honored abroad and at home, is
a public affliction. Judge Story was upon the
bench thirty-four years, and received the distin
guished honor of his appointment from Mr. Madi
son, at the age of thirty-one. How well he filled
his office, we need not say. Huppily lie has left
leslimooialsof his integrity and ability, that will
live as long us the country lie has served. Judge
Story expired at bis residence in Cambridge, Mas
sncliusetts, on Tuesday evening, at a quarter before
nine o’clock.
The Boston Courier snys that “his pulse ceased
to heul, and his hands were cold, before eight,
P. M. His disease « ns stoppage of the intestines,
or strangulation, the same sickness which emit
■ lie lifo of Mr. Legure in this city iu 1843.
Judge Story was 75 years of age. He gradua
led at Harvard University in 1798, and was ap

VVe are grieved to see that thus early the office,
which has been so suddenly vacated, has become
tlie object of a zealous scrambling among those

THE GOVERNOR’S ELECTION—NOTICE
THIS.
Aa the Returns of tho Governor’s election ere ad.
dressed to the Legislature, and cannot be opened until
that Body assembles, we would suggest to the superin
tendents the propriety of pencilling on tbo back of them,
or on tlie returns for members of the General Assem
bly, the number of votes esch candidate receives, in or*
dor that the result may be made known to the pcoplo at
an early day.
We would also particularly request our friends in tlie
several counties to mail to us tlie result of their coun
ty elections, os toon as tl is known. By this means wc
will be prepared to give them a list of members, and
tho result of the Governor’s election in a week after it
is over, and possibly at an earlier period.
The Clerks of the Superior Courts particularly, will,
oblige us by attending to this matter,and we aball re ’
turn the compliment, by lending them the general re.
suit.
•THE ARGUMENT IS EXHAUSTED—LET US
STAND BY OUR ARMS!”
It was the remark of a distinguished Georgian, about
the time Mr, McAllister accepted service under John
Quincy Adams, that the “argument is exhausted, let
us stand by our arms.” At that eventful period in
Georgia’s history, when the Federal Government was
threatening the authorities of the Stale with federal
bayonets, a more appropriate response than tlie above
could hardly have been made. Indeed, sn emphatic waa
it, that it reached the patriotic hearts of our people, and
ever since it hss been one of the proud laurels ol him
who gave utterance to it. Not only this, but upon the
eve of almost every political contest in Georgia, it h-s
been a favorite sentiment with both parties, indicating
that the period for argument, time had brought a
close, and that action must thereafter usurp its place.—
That we are now near this point, in Georgia, is known
to every one. In one week more, so far as this Journal
is concerned, the canvass will be closed to it, and as an
individual, we shall then take our place in the ranks, or
to use a figure, we shall 'stand,byour arms.” In other
words, we shall be prepared to march up to the ballot box,
and there to deposit our vote in favor of, not only the pres,
ent incumbent of the Executive Chair, but in favor of his
measures, his policy, his administration—sn administra
tion by which the people, without regard to party, have
been greatly benefitted. Let us refer to some of these
benefits, as it may be for the last time, previous to the
election t
The public services of Governor Crawford cannot
be valued too highly by the people of Georgia. Those
who attempt detraction signally fail whenever they
make the attempt, and hereafter will meet with noth
ing but frowns from a people whom they are trying, or
have tried, to dsceive. Not only as Governor have iiis
services been valuable to the people, but as a legisla.
tor, they have been signally eo. But for his poaitiou
and his influence in ihe Legislature for years, the
iStato’s indebtedness now amounting to millions, would
have been doubled ; and our people would have groan-
ed for the future under burthens of taxation equalled
uut by few States in the Union. While acting in the
capacity of legislator, the people have not found him
squandering away their money by extravagant appro
priations,'nor loosely legislating into being, rotten bank
ing institutions similar to the Darien and Monroe Rail,
road Banks. Nor, in 1837, did they find him, like Mr,
McALLISTER, advocating the lending the credit of the
Stale to incorporated companies of all sorts; or, in other
words, voting for the STATE BOND POLICY, by
which the people of Georgia were made indorsers for
every railroad project that would have been started in
its bounds. Justice to Governor Crawford demands
that tho people should know, that while Mr, McAllis
ter was votingawny their credit to build railroads when
ever any incorporated company pleased, Governor
Crawford was voting against it, and was thus protect
ing their, and their children’s interests! REMEM
BER THIS, people of Georgia, as wc pass along to
other matter!
The gloom which pervaded the State’s affairs when
Governor Crawford was inaugurated, is known to
all. The first indication of Iiis policy was through Iiis
Inaugural Address, and it seemed like a ray of light
had penetrated the darkness. Shortly afterwards, his
message* to the Legislature--'.he indications from that
body that a change in measures were about to take
place—the untiring energy of the Governor in the dis
charge of iiis duties—all contributed to inspire a confi.
dence in him. that but few Executives have ever enjoy
ed,. Soon the darkness was all dispelled, and Georgia
once more stuod in an elevated position before the
world. Briefly will we note some of the important and
beneficial,changes.
At tho counter of the State Treasury, it had been
the custom of tho previous administration, to tender
payment of tho Stale’s debts in a currency varying at
iimes in value, but generally at an average of 30 per
cont discount—that is, the man to w hom the proud
State of Georgia, uue of the “o'd thirteen,” owed mo
ney, was paid at the rate of 80 cents for the dollar-
But Governor Crawford changed that order of things,
and the creditor during Iiis administration has been paid
in gold and silver, when demanded, or in specie paying
bank notes, one hundred cents to the dollar I YVhat a
contrast! A change too was made in the affairs and
position of the Central Bank before the public, equally
beneficial with that at the Treasury. He restored in
a few short weeks its notes to par value, and once
more gave it credit with the people. But a short time
before he madeCentral money equal to gold and silver,
it was soiling at 40 and 00 per cent, discount. The
people know this to be true, and must appreciate the
change I
For the bonds of the State no purchaser could be
found save at a rate per cent, discount ruinous to the
laborer who was paid off in them. Shortly, be raised
the value of these bonds, and they sre now upon a foot,
ing with those of other specie paying, debt paying
Slates.
The Penitentiary was turned over to Governor Craw,
ford a heap of ruins—and largely in debt Like a
Phoenix it has liaen from its asiies ; fifty thousanddoi.
|ars of its debts iiavo been paid; and he has made it a
source of profit, instead of expense to the State.
He has paid _ ii.0,000 of ihe foreign debt; ail th,;
interest due upon the public debt, and sumo of it, m
advance ; and the creditors of Georgia in-lead of cla
moring for their rights, and tor justice, a* they had hith
erto done, are content with tho existing stale of things,
and fear, that a change in tlie Chief Magistracy, may
prove injurious to both debtor and creditor.
YVherever extravagance prevailed, it waa cheeked,
and economy introduced. Wherever abueea prevailed,
they were promptly pul a slop to. Order and ecouomy
took lb* place of confusion and extravagance, and the
vast benefit accruing to the people from the Governor’s
vigilsne# thoy will not be likely to forget.
But shove all, Governor Crawford has oot permitted
party spirit to influence him in a solitary set. IJ e has
