Bur- hmrtttth* Vice Presidency. lAGEiVCY AND COMMISSION susxsses, 1 [rplilE undersigned having permanently set- tied iu Macon, wiil attend to the purchase 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I resigned my appointment of Presi dent secretly, thereby continuing to the Bank the influence of my name after I had withdrawn from it.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.

This Press is ta 8*neral use at the North—and is requested him to hand it to the Bank, which he clone on the 2d day of July with as much publi city as such things are usually done-—1 made no 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 come have _ M ,. .. „ , _ causes of it; but being influenced by no such mo tive, aud having confidence in the credit of the institution, I could not see tho necessity of pub Georgia Agricnlitirai Society. At a meeting of the Board of Directors on the 5th inst» *it was f> csolved, that a premium of a Gold Medal,) worth five dollars, be offer ed for the best written Essay' on the RUST IN COTTON, that shall be laid lie fore the Board by the first of November next—to be decided by a committee appointed ter that purpose. ■s^grlcuitnral S’ai.r. ft?* The Geo}'gia Agricultural Society of Macon will hold a FAIR for the exhibition of Agricultural, Horticultural and Domestic pro ducts, Fatted Cattle, Milch Cows, Swine, &c. at the Court House square in*Macon, on Thurs day, the 20th day of December next, When they will award (among others,) the following Premiums: viz: 1.

Con scious myself of having been governed by the most upright motives, both towards the Bank and the public, during my connexion with the in stitution, and desirous of maintaining before the Macon, Sept, 14, 1832. 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.
