AND THE SCRIPT FOR THE BANK STOCK AFORE- SAID. SHALL BE DELIVERED TO THE TREASURER OF THE STATE AND SAID STOCK SHALL HENCEFORTH BE UNDER HIS MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL FOR THE PURPOSE AFORESAID.”—iVid., page 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. A letter from Paris, undor date of July 31, writ ten by a lady of Baltimore, soys— I have seen no Subbath since I left home. Hern there is none.

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!

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 of Geo, Hurlbul, Esq., in Brooklyn, were Ilia wife li.iiu has lost one of its w isest counseilers, one of its tnost learned and upright Judges, ouo of it* must respected, estimable and patriotic citizens. The pure, the virtuous, the illustrious Judge Story is no utore. He died on the night of the 10 tost., ot his residence, in Cambridge, aged 05 years, of a stop page of tite intestines—a disease similar In that 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 io his country. When the Elijah of the Supreme Bench, Chief Justice Marshall, died, Judge Sto ry was the Elisha on whom the niuntle, not of of fice. but of learning, usefulness and virtue fall; and, at the time of his death, he was the oldest Judge of the Supreme Court of the U. S.—the pul rinrch of that august tribunal. In addition to hi! arduous duties as a judge, lie was nn uble and labor, ious writer and commentator, nnd hit works on Constitutional Law and Equity Jurisprudence urn of tliemaelvoa a monument of his fume. He was not only n learned judge and sound lawyer, hut, like his judicial chief, n sound coiistiluliunal law yer and one of the guardians of Ihe political consti ration, “pure and undefilod’’, as it catne from the wisdom of Washington and his patriot associates in Convention ; and, iu both his judicial opium, and works on constitutional law, ever ably uml ir umphantly vindicated the true theory-and princi ples of our political system. Ho also filled at lire lime of his death, with distinguished ability nnd usefulness, the office of Dar.o Professor of Har vard Law School—attached to Harvard University, of which he wa* a graduate iu 1798. In the cause of education he always look a deep and active in terest—and especially so in the increased prosper ity and extended usefulness of his Alma Mater.— Never can we forget the sublime mural spectacle, presented by him iu the summer of 1834, when, at . n meeting of the Alumni of Harvard University, we saw him. venerable in years and dignity, rise in his place, and propose and successfully advocate a preposition to raise, by voluntary subscription, among the old gruduutes of tite institution, the sum of 8109,000, for tile noble mid benevolent purpose of diminishing the price of tuition in the Universi ty.

We subjoin a letter, announcing the death of the venerable Judge, from one of tho students in the is also stopping, and receives every attention which j Harvard Law School, to his parent in this city, and his circumstances require. Under the operation of t nlao nn extract from the New.York Express, relut- medicines, his system has been relieved of u con- I ing to the melancholy event, siderable quantity of laudanum.

Camp & Wilkes, of the Police Gaz- "■ “This morning I wus placed in possession of the ette. f melancholy fact, which I now hasten to coinmuui. lu regard to what followed, after lie drank the Soda water, until ha was recovered from his thral dom, there is a mystery which is yet to bo unveil ed. From all we can learn, we suppose he was during the whole time under the influence of liquo r; but whether it was drank voluntarily, or udmini-s- ered by force, and with what drugs accompaniei). we know not. Evidently he was met with s'ud treatment cither from himself or others, lffrr m 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 drink, In either case, lie is inucii to bo pitied.- — 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 boat. 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. YVe sre not informed of its present condition.-— 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 stand has fifteen acres planted with the tame kind of seed. It affords ns much pleasure tn notice such evidence of improveimats whioh eTe making in ike ealtivation ef our greet southern staple. It ie in title **y that the planter ef the United Sunt* cute to you, that Ju ge Story, one of the Justices 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 pointed to the Judgeship of the United Slates Court in 1811. 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 who are aspiranta for the place, and among their friends. The Post of Inst evening devotes neurly a column to this subject, quoting, however, mainly from the appointment of Marcus Morton. We pray, at least, that the dead may be decently buri ed before the public ears are dinned witii these party appeals in behalf of a party Judge.

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 neon most emphatically lb* Governor of a people, and not af a party.
