[rplilE undersigned having permanently set-

TO THE PUBLIC.
ROM mv late connexion with the Bank of
Rincon as President, I understand that a
poruon o* no community are disposed to indulge
m rejections unlavorable to my character us an
upright man, and to attach to me some blame for
.he unfor.unate, and to ms unexpected failure
of that institution.—The charges against me, so
far as I have heard them, aro
1st. That I have spoken favorably of the sol
vency ol the Bank, and have thereby given a cur
rency to its paper which it might no: otherwise
have obtained.
2d. That I resigned my appointment of Presi
dent secretly, thereby continuing to the Bank the
influence of my name after I had withdrawn from
it.
I will taXe up these charges in their order, and
meet them in a man tier, which will satisfy every
candid and unprejudiced mind, of the purity of
my motives and honesty of my conduct. Iu^the
first place, before I consented to become an offi-
cer ot the institution, when applied to for that
purpose, I was assured that several of the most
respectable merchants of Macon, had contracted
for the purchase of one thousand shares of the
stock ol the Bunk, and that :hc balance was own
ed l>y Dr. Robert ColHtis, Robert Oxileinau, John
Marlin, aud J. Stone &• O.o; of Savannah*, Kerr
Lvycc. Demy V* . Conner & Co., and Potters cm
aud Mag Wood of Charleston. Having a personal
knowledge of the pecuniary circumstances of
most of the gentle men represented as the proprie
tors of the stock, and having been informed by
two of the geutlemen who had agreed to become
purchasers of the stock in Macon, that from some
examination into the affairs of the Bank, they
found it, so far as that examination went, in a
sound condition, I did not hesitate to accept the
appointment of President. A short time after I
entered itpou the duties of the office, tlje Cashier
made au exhibit to me of the state of the Bank,
which proved it to be solvent and amply able to
meet all paper in circulation. In addition to this,
the favorable report of the Legislature upon the
state of the iustitutiou, always made out, as I sup
posed, upon oath by the officers, completely satis
fied me that the Bank of Macon stood-upon a so
lid basis.—In the mouth of February, Dr. Collins
informed me he had sold his interest in the stock
to Mr. Ellis aud his friends in New York. I at
once supposed that Mr. Ellis’s friends in New
York .would prefer his presiding over the Bank,
and spoke of resiguiug; but ns 1 very soon learn
ed that Mr. Ellis did not wish me to resign, I
continued to serve as I had previously doue,
without having any change produced in my mind
as to the solvency of the Bank. Duriug the
whole of the time I served the institution as Pre
sident, every demand made upon it was prompt
ly met, and the Bank continued to meet, so far as
I know, every demand after my resignation up
to. the time I left this plaeeforNew York. From
these circumstances, I had no right to speak o
therwise than -.veil of the Bank. After my resig
nation, aud after setting out for New York, I told
my partners that 1 thought every confidence
might be placed in the credit of tho Bank, and
that it was safe to hold its bfi-s. I gave the same
information to oue of my brothers in business in
this place, and to another ria Eatontou—these
persons might be presumed to be the last that 1
would deceive, if i could be supposed to be gov
erned by two of the strongest passions of the hu
man heart: self interest and the ties cf natural af
fection.—As additional evidence of my implicit
faith in the soundness of the institution, I will re
mark, that since the 1st day of December, 1831
and the 24th July, i832, (eight months,) my
Bank Book shows that I deposited in the Bank
of Macon, for the concern of which I am a mem
ber, in cash and good paper for collection, the
sum of three hundred and fifty thousand dollars
aud that it was not (infrequently the case that
from ten to twenty thousand dollars were to the
credit of our house iu the Bank, from six days to
.two aud three weeks at a time. These deposites
were not only eoutimied after my resignation,
but T roques ted Mr. Laird li Wiley, in whose
• aarge our business was left before X started to
New* York, to continue to make all our deposites
there—Mr. Wiley’s certificate wili prove this.—
These facts will, I hope, satisfy an impartial pub
lic that ifx spoke favorably of the solvency of the
Bank, I spoke nothing but tuy honest opinion
and if I have misled others, I was myself de
ceived.'
This brings tttpM tire second charge, that I se
crctly resigned my appointment as President
On the lust day of Juno it became indispensa!
necessary for me to go to the country on business
ou that day I made out my resignation—cu the
1st day of July, previous to leaving town for the
country, where I ;yas detained about eight days
I handed the letter with my resignation to Mr
Leroy M. Wiley, told him what it contained, and
long as I live I shall be found at tfir post., find
ready to answer to any tribunal of my country.
I am prepared to show, that tiie small property
of which I am possessed, is nothing more than
the honest fruit of unceasing toil and labor, for
the last ten year; of my life.— 1 owe just debts,
and should it become necessary for me to disposo
of any part of my property to meet them prompt
ly, I shall do it; and my honor is .pledged never
to place the balance beyond the reach of justice
and equity. ROBT. W. FORT.
P. 8. Could I see Mr. Ponce of Augusta, 1
should be enabled to obtain iris certificate, that
in a conversation with him about the 10th July,
I told him I had resigned my appointment of Pre
sident of the Bank of Macon, aud done it without
concealment, or placing him under obligations
whatever to keep it secret.
Justice to Messrs J. Stone & Co., Kerr Boyce,
Henry W. Conner & Co., and Patterson aud
Magood, R. Co)ema.n and John Martin, requires
me to say, that I have been informed they sold
their interest in the Bank of Macon, some time
before its failure. ROBT. W. FORT.
Macon, Sept. 12, 1832.
I certify, that to the best ot my knowledge aud
belief, the conduct of R. W. Fort Esq., as Presi
dent of the Bank of Macon, has been uuiformly
correct; that he has iu all cases acted with up
rightness of intention, and has done nothing which
could cast suspicion ou his character for integrity,
during the time of my connexion with the Bank
of Macon. THOS. M. ELLIS,
After its failure, the Bank was under the ne-
sale of COTTON on Commission. Halving
f'U-n raised to that business, he flatters himself he
will be able to givo satisfaction to all who may en-
11 -'t him with their orders.

secret of it. It is true, I did not publish it; but
when spoken to in relation to it, I always stated
I had resigned ; there was no concealment about
it. In a conversation with Dr. Cluptou, nine or
ten days previous to my starring to New York,
told hnn I had resigned. I met Mr. Washbu
in the street before I left, who told me be had
heard it, and asked me if it were so; I told him
rt was: the certificates of these gentlemen will
enable the public to judge whether secrecy was
enjoined or not. Tho reason for my resigning
when S did, was not induced by any distrust of
the ability of the Bank to meet its issues withou
los3 to the hMdera of its bills, but in compliance
with a compact with inv partners, by which I
was to attend to that branch of the business pre
viously attended to by Leroy M. Wiley, to wit,
the purchase of goods; and the time had arrived
when it was necessary for me to start to New
York, in order to be prepared for the business of
the approaching season; I left Macon when I did
for this purpose alone. If I had believed the
Bank was in a failing condition, and had resigned
from a motive of this sort, then it would have be

j made public not only my resignation but the
es of it; but being influenced by no such mo-
and having confidence in the credit of the
union, I could not see tho necessity of pub
lishing my resignation.—It was my intention on
my return from New York, to have submitted to
the public a complete expose from the books of
the Bank, aud sought the earliest opportunity to
do so; but was denied the privilege of doing so,
and the reason assigned by tho proprietor was,
that “after its failure, the Bank was under the
necessity of refusing access to its books lrom pru
dential motives alone, as cuch an expose, it was
feared, would throw difficulty iu its way. and pre
vent the collection of its debts.”—1 am prepared
to anticipate all tho blame that will fall upon me
when a complete dovelopement is made, and this
I do admit—it is remisness;—for this 1 shall al
ways feel the deepest regrot; and particularly if
it should turn out when a disclosure is made, that
a fraud has been practised upon the public. Con

most upright motives, both towards the Bank
and the public, during my connexion with the in

1 resigned the office of Cashier of the Bank of
Macon about the loth of February last, and R.
W. Fort Esq. had acted as presilent of that in
stitution foi* several months previous to that time.
From my situation I had a good opportunity of
judging of his official acts, and I have no hesitan
cy ip sayilig, that in all his transactions with the
Bank, he seemed to be actuated by the purest
aud lnosit honorable motives; and I kuow of no
thing that olight to render him obnoxious to pub
lic censure. I believe him to be a correct and
upright officer, and during that time the affairs of
the Bank wore in a safe, solvent, and good con
dition. ROBT. COLLINS.
I do further state,"that R. W. Fort never did,
to tho best of my knowledge, have a Note, Draft,
or anj other paper discounted at the Bank.
ROBT. COLLINS.
Macon, Sept. 14, 1832.
I hereby certify, that in a conversation held
with Rob;. W. Fort, about the middle of July,
after his return from the up-country, he spoke of
his resignation as President of the Bank of Macon,
without auy apparent design of concealment, and
then gave it as his opiuion, that the Bank would
go ou well with its business; aud that there was
no injunction of secrecy. A. CLOPTON.
Macon, Sept. 14, 1832.
i certify that I became a member of the firm of
Baxter, Fort and Wiley, on the first day of July
last, and that Robert W. Fort did, after resigning
his appointment as President of the Bank of Ma
con, and before he left Rlacon for New York, re
quest me to continue to make all our deposites
both cash and paper for collection in the Bank of
Macon—and that pur house continued to take the
notes of the Bank of Macon until its failure.
L. H. WILEY.
I hereby certify, that on or about .the 12th of
July last, and directly after his return from the
up-country, where be had been on business, Ro
bert W. Fort spoke of his resignation as President
of the Bank of Macon, without any apparent de
sign of concealment. I then asked his opinion of
the Bank, he told me it was his opinion the Bank
was good, aud it was perfectly safe to hold the
bills. There was no secrecy enjoined on me not
to mention the resignation.
WILLIAM FORT.
Macon, Sept. 14, 1832.
J do hereby certify, that when Mr. Robert W.
.Fort passed through Milledgeville, on liis way to
New York, 1 inquired of him whether we should
continue our deposites with the Macon Bank ?—
His reply was, “Yes, for I conceive it to be en
tirely safe.”
I also certify, that an advertisement put in the
Macon Telegraph, that “Baxter, Fort aud Wiley
would receive Macon Bills, for goods, at 25 cents
in the doilar.^was without his knowledge or con
sent; he was then absent from the State, and I
had not received a letter from him, up to that
time. THOS. W. BAXTER.
Macon, September 14, 1832.
I do certify, that I was appointed Book keeper
for the Bank of Macon iu the month of February
last, and held that appointment uutii its failure.
Mr. Fort had acted as President of the Bank for
about four months previous to this time; it wub
his habit to call at the Bank every morning, but
from the pressure of his own business, never re
mained long at the Bank—he uniformly manifest
ed a deep interest in the institution, and on all
occasions, an entire belief in its solvency—a plain
and conclusive evidence to me of his sincerity,
was the large deposit kept almost constantly in
the Bank, amounting frequently to twenty thous
and dollars, arid remaining for weeks untouched.
To the last day of Mr. Fort’s stay here, previous
to his departure for New York, this confidence
appeared unabated; I never saw any thing in his
manner, nor was there any thing in his remarks
that betrayed, in the slightest degree, a doubt of
the solvency of the Bank.—His only culpability
in ail that 1 have observed, and all that will, on
a.full development of the affairs of the Bank, fall
upon him, consists, in not more fully examining
its condition; and keeping a register of all that
was done. Of his integrity and honor, I have no
doubt, his whole conduct there was so eminently
distinguished for rectitude and exact honesty, that
I think his name should ever be above reproach
so far as relates to the Bank J. L. JONES.
