The following latter will be read with painful
interest. When, when, shall these sacrifices of
human life cease ? The suggestion of our es
teemed correspondent ate worthy of attention. —
Vt'e learn that Col. Vonae contemplates an expe
dition West for the purposeof removing the small
bends that have annoyed our fellow-citizens in
that quarter;
Maui ass a, Sept, yd, 1842.
Dear Sir : A family by the namo of Per
kins was murdered by the iud'ans on the 29th or
30th ult. at Hickory Hill, about twenty miles
west of this place.
Mr. P. his wife and two children were killed,
another of the children was so badly wounded
that no hope of his recovery is entertained, and
a son, about eleven years old, made his escape al
though clos.dy pursued by the savagej.
The attack was made about day break. The
boy who escaped says thorn were about ten Indi
ans in the company. They used arrows instead
of guns. The house was plundered and burnt.
They got a rifle and some powder and lead.
An account of the affair reached hero on the
day it transpired, and a small patty started im
mediately in the hops to find their tiail re
turning to the Apalachicola. The company dis
covered Indian tracks going towards Hickory Hill,
but no .ign of their having returned. The scout
has not yet returned.
The people at Hickory Hill are of couise much
alarmed. They have tried in vain to find the
trail of the Indians leaving the place of murder.
No trace of it bad been found at our last accounts.
The people of Washington propose to start
on an expedition against the Indians on Thursday
next. Our county, I hope, will join them. The
Indiana, however, will have bad too long a start
to authorize much hope of success.
So, air, you perceive that we of the West
have cause to complain of the manner in which
the Florida war has been closed, as well as our
brethren of the Middle and East. There is one
way to close the war, so fur as the fugitive Creeks
are concerned. Eat the U. S. Government as
sure Capt. button that it will defray the expen
ses of fifty men, to serve two months, and author
ize him to raise such a force. If this -be done,
the war will soon be at an end. Ho will dost
it not as Col. Worth has done, to-open ng un
with double violence, but by IWVtfig no Indiana
to wage hostilities. If this plan is not adopted
troops should be stationed along the Southern
border of Jackson and Washington counties.
Yours respectfully, M.
F. S.—Since wrumg the above tho scout that
visited from'here has returned. They report that
the Indians were discovered on the Ist of this
month on Holmes’s Valley. A parly of three
persons discovered them. The Indians piollered
them a fight, and boasted of having killed a
family and could whip thorn. One of the whiter
fired upon and killed an Inman. Mr. James W,
Long, of Hulmes'n Valley, is the gentleman whe
tired the gun. The Indians were twelve in num
ber.

From the Southern Whig,
lion. Mark A. Cooper.
Wc have published the explanation ot the
Hon. Mark A. Cooper on his vote upon the Ta
rilf, as taken from the Federal Union, we also
publish below it an article from the Georgia
Journal in answer-to Mr. Cooper. At for our
selves we have examined the votes carefully and
find that Mr. Cfcoperlmaa double advantage, one
Jay he votes for maWtg Coffee a free article and
taxing Tea; and the next he votes against mak
ing them both free. Ho was, it seems, determin
ed to have the advantage of both sidca of the
question. So much for Mr. Cooper’s vole oh
the tax of Tea and Coffee. We have given
publicity to his own explanation, and we hope
wc shall be indulged, as he is again a candidate
before the people, to ask for a few more explana
tions upon tho vote on the Tariff question.
For fear that our readers may not be aware of
the fact, wo would inform them that Maj. Coop
er has lately made a speech in Congress, pur
porting to be on the revenue bill, but more pro
perly upon things in general, some of which it is
due to his constituents he should explain.
You assume in your speech that the Whig
party jf the North, or the Northern Whigs, are
for a protective tariff, and the Northern Demo
crats are against it. Will you be good enough
to explain how it is that upon the vote last taken
upon the tariff, that out of 21 Democrats from
liie Stale of New York, 9.voted for the bill, 7
against it and 3 were absent. That out of 15
Democrats from Pennsylvania, 10 voted for it,
none against it, and 3 were absent. But as you
are fond of tabular lorms, we will annex one so
that you may explain fully.

Hereyou perceive that a majority of thi North
-5 cm Democrats voted for a protective tariff. Can
you give the people of theTSouth an explanation
..f this matter? And will frou let us know why
it was so many of therfwere aboentl We
would not impose- this labor upon you,but, judos
mg from your speech, wc wuuldSKßTtrfTsntjMM
:i bular forms wen- recreation Iq
s fior. Come, .Major, liyure it out fc#6spwtrrnV
J lu know nil about it.
a Will not the people of Georgia see from these
lew facts, that all this cry of the Democrats
about the tariff being tho measure of the North
lt ern Whigs alone, is false and deceptive. It is
lt as it has been, Northern men are for a tariff,
Southern men against it. It does not belong
properly to either party; wherever you find men
6 representing districts that have been in the habit
“ ol having their labor protected, you will find
a them voting lor a high tariff. And yet Major
Cooper has the effrontery to assert that the De
. mocralir. parly is opposed to a protective tariff. —
II His great desire to see Mr. Calhoun the Presi
-- dent, is paramount with him to every other con
sideration. lie is reckless in his assertions and
I regardless of the inconsistencies to which his
conclusions bring him. His courser is the. more
exeeplionahle, because it has ihe appearance ol
honesty. Ile deals in figures, hut ho suppresses
lads. \\ hat are the people of Georgia to think
of his assertion, that the tariff' is supported bv
r ‘ tho Whigs and opposed by the Democrats, when
l! it is well known that 20 Democrats voted for it
-• and 37 Whigs against it. And what right has
he to claim for lumselt' the honor of being nnti
t.iriff vvhPu every one of his colleagues voted
h with him, with the exception of the Hon. J. A.
If Meriwether, who was absent. It cannot be be
u cause sonic ot bis colleagues arc associated with
the Whig party and the Northern Whigs voted
I, for it. The same reasoning would prove him a
q lariif man. He is associated with the Di-mo
-- erats, and most of the Northern Democrats vo-
I led fur the tariff.
II Then away with your humbug. This tariff
question does not properly belong to either party,
1 it lias had lor its advocates the leading men of
li t h parlies. Mr. Calhoun was a protective la
-8 riif nsui as late as 1825. Messrs. Benton, Ea
' (011. Johnson, Mt-L-.iiioand Van Huron voted lor
■1 the tariff' of 1828. Gen. Jackson was always
1 for the protection of domestic industry, and Mr.
1 Muelmuan, perhaps the brightest ornament in the
Democratic parly, is, to this day, the advocate ol
q a protective tariff'. Tile same is true of many
~ distinguished Whigs It never was used (or po
e Li iol purposes until Mr. Calhoun, discarded by
, Gen -ral Jackson on account of his intrigue and
insincerity, took it up and hoped thereby to ride
into the Presidency. He is still endeavoring to
I ferment the Union, knowing that it is his only
hope for success.
But there is another question, Major, connect
ed with the Tariff', from which we should like
to hear from you, and no doubt it would begrat
| 1 -. ing to many of your constituents, to know
| your opinion, li the Bill which has lately pass
t e.| tlu House ol Representatives should become
law-, u iuelr you say is for the protection oI do
mestic manufactures, what remedy do you pro
p ■-!- to rid the South 01 the oppression. Will
>-mli\ Nulhtieidi-m . - on, the day was, when
that was the only tightlul remedy. Von know
I it is ‘ constitutional for you loadhotc.” Assoon
. s the law p 1 s-H, you ought, to be consistent
come lu-:: ajul p-repan your eonstil uents with
ao.-i h-r .Nuiiitic.atiou campaign. How tin you
' think it will suit McDonald turd Fort to go in
for i'.uliification, or Andrews, or Cone, or Hi fl
yer. or Style*,.or EUmpkiu or Cobb or any of
" your m w associates. Do you think that you
1 c.<n satisfy Ifiem that it is the rightful remedy.
1 And yet to be consistent you must nullify the
c law. It will never do lor you to back out alter
■ vour letter of ecci-pltiacc, for you know it is
1 ‘’consiilutional for you to adhere,” and these oth
r | i-r men have - rue into the support of your mea
, sores. We await with some anxiety, to sec
, your course upon the proper means to rid us of
this obno.cinus Tariff. It will not do to try pe
tition ami remonstrance, ami we cannot imagine
how you wi:! ever survive under the appellation
of a submission man.
Tlr. vc is another matter in your speech, that
we eouless struck us with more astonishment
' titan any thing that fell from you in the whole
ol your lengthy and laborious speech and that
\ was the vote upon the nomination of Mr. Clay
1 as Secretary of Btate. under Mr. Adams. And
■'■-you (, ally think, that Ihe refusal ol .Messrs.
i Berrien Cohh, Macon, and other distinguished
s names, to ralily the nomination of Mr. Clay, is
, a good reason why the Whigs of the present
- day should not support him lor the Presidency.
I Even admitting tin- reason lobe a good one,
i yon were certainly, very unfortunate In the ar
gument, or you must have forgot tho casting
. 'ole of Mr. Calhoun, when Gen. Jackson sent
Mr. Van.Buren’s nomination, as Minister to
England lu ttic Senate. Will you inform us
, hmv you ami Air. Calhoun voted at the last elec
tion tor President. And whether or not Mr.
Van Burr n’s incompetency as Minister to En-r
--lan.l. wrought such an attaint, as incapacitated
him tor the Presh!e::ey. We might have excus
ed you fur this pitiful subterfuge, and attributed
it to an incautious zeal, had it been found in
, the beginning of your speech, but as it is in the
' 4th volume: we would Isave supposed, that vour
arguments would have evinced a calmness sim
ilar to the gentle closing motion of a steam en
| gino when its propelling power is exhausted.—
Rut we have been deceived and wc must charge
this miserable attempt to impose upon vour 01111-
Bliliu-uey, to a studied and malignant desire to
subserve party ends, and to gratify a feeling to
wards Mr. Clay any thing but high minded and
honorable. Similar to it is your allusion to the
opinions said to have been exppressed by Mr.
Jeff erson concerning Mr. Clay, in a conversation
with Tiros. M. Randolph, Jr. in August 1823
all of which is unworthy the character you.rmcc
sustained.
But there is still anolher subject upon which
wc would like to he r from you, affecting not
- —tmtT rmrr fim--.W.a. ~,r minil.h, iy.
moral character. And do you honeatly thinkTt,
a good reason why Tea should ha taxed that
most ol it is used at the North, and why Codec
should he fr ee, because it is mostly useii at the
South. Is 1 Ids the spirit that should govern a
patri.-t, one who swears to support the Constitu
tion and who ought conscientiously and relioi
ously to vote for those measures, that will bene
fit the mass, without regard to particular sections.
In what part of yourethics do you find the prin
ciple recognised that our Northern brethren
should pay a lax upon the Tea they use, and we
of the South should have ourColiee tree of du
ty. How inconsistent with your professions as
soon as the Northern people speak of a Tariff'
upon those articles that arc used at the South,
! you arc ready to rend the Union to atoms, and
! Carolina like prepared to march against tho
; bristled bayonets ut National Usurpation, and
| yet you are advocating the very same doctrine,
i in crying out for a tax upon Tea because it is
one of the consumptions of the North. Wc
were not prepared to hear the avowal of such
doctrines from one eiitcrtaini: g your position in
the moral world and we now assure you, that
though you may reconcile it to the nioralitv of
Tarty, you will never find it the religion ul the
Bench or the Pulpit.

To the Kditai s of Ihe Federal Union:
GKNTi.fMf.s—My attention is called to an ar
ticle headed l ' Tea. and Coffee’' in the Georgia
Journal of the od inst. This attempt to mislead
the public mind is no! surprising. It is so easily
refuted, however, that 1 wonder it was not writ
ten with more tact and caution It grossly mis
represents both Mr. Black and myself. I give
you here an extract from the proceedings in
Committee of tlu- Whole, on tho ’Tariff',"duly
13th,1ST?, from the National intelligencer. July
16,1842. ' ’
“Mr. Mark A. Cooper moved an amendment
imposing a duty of 20 per cent ad valorem on
'leas.” from vvhatever place imported.
“Mr. Warren of Ga., moved to amend the a
mendmcnl by adding ‘ coffee.” Theamemlmcnt
to the amendment, and the amendment, were re
jected.
“Mr. Mcdill moved to amend the slh clause
of the aaiJ item, and •aoiprnte among the free
articles tea and coffee.
“Mr. M. A. Cooper moved to strike out “tea.”
Rejected; and (lie amendment of Mr. Medill 1
was rejected, 1
“Mr. M. A. Cooper moved tdflbend tho 7th t
clause of the said item, liy adding gjeoffee” to the i
list of enumerated free articles,
“Mr. Cushing inoved to amend the amend
ment by adding “and tea.”
“The amendment to the amendment was a
greed to, and the amendment as amended was
rejected.”
i he committee amended the bill so as to strike
out the first clause of the 7th section, which tax
ed “lea” from 8 to 24 cts per lb, and coffee 2
cents a pound. The effect of this amendment
was to tax tea and coflce 20 per cent by the 10th
clause ot the bill.
Now as the great mass of our people who pay
the taxes, use coffee, and those at the North use
tea, it was better, it they had to be taxed, not to
strike out this clause; because it threw the hur
then ot taxation relatively lighter on the South.
1 therefore on the question to concur in striking
out voted No; so voted Judge Warren, Mr,
Colquitt absent, Black, Foster, Gamble. Haber
ra n ’> a °d Meriwether voted to strike out,
-PL ei ional loleßigcncer, July 18th, 1842 ]
.1, ,° 1 " rail . t “ amended the 10th section of
tne bill by striking out these wordti: “That on

there shall be levied, collected and paid aduty of

On all raw and unmanufactured articles not
herein enumerated or provided for, there shall be
levied, collected and paid a duty of six per cent
ad valorem; and on all abides manufactured in
whole or in part, not herein enumerated or pro
vided for, a duty of thirty five percent ad valo
rem.”
Now apprehending and believing the revenue
officers might and would class “coffee” with arti
cles inanufactmedln part, I voted against con
curring. 1
I was willing to strike out the duty of 20 per
cent on coffee, and so voted in committee; but in
the House Ihe question could not he divided,
and I was unwilling to .strike out and insert;
preferring the 20 per cent
duty.
On this vote, Black,*J-oster, Gamble, King,
Habersham and Warren voted with raei Col
’ quilt and Meriwether being absent. %
And this is the vote in which the Georgia
Journal says 1 voted for 20 per cent duty on “cof
fee” in pfe&rence to 3. The difference simply
is that 1 UAij per cent; and
so did all not
state N a 1 i 011

effort I proposed to let in coffee free of tax. If
the writer iu the Journal had been as prompt at
giving the whole truth, be might have presented
the votes of my Whig colleagues with mine on
this very point.
We expect to be judged by what we do here,
but not by misstatements ol'our doings. Let the
truth be stated.
The article in the Journal would make you
believe, that on the 16th July a motion was made
to tax coffee “fire” per cent instead of “ twenty ”
per cent. No such motion was made on that
day or any other day. What motions were made
I have given above* as reported fromthc National
j Intelligencer. And Iho Georgia Journal anil its
correspondent might have hail more regard to

When the country can be protected against such
misrepresentations, I shall be content.

MARK A. COOPER.
1 Twenty per cent on Tea arid Coffee
vs.
•Hark A. Cooper.
To the Editors:—Air. M. A. Cooper has ap
-1 peared in the Federal Union, in correction of
what I have said to Iris vole on Tea and Coffee.
I said he had voted to lay* a duty ot 20 per cent,
instead of 3 per cent, on those articles, this he
denies. Out of this testimony I will prove it
upon him. In the first place. Air. Medill moved
to make lea aiut coffee dul 11 her Air. Cooper
moves to t.crept tea. so that tea shall be taxed.—
Is not I his taxmp tea? CVrlanly. Here then
is an acknowledgment from under his own hand,
that when fie had an opportunity to make tea
free from all duty, be volunteered to prevent it.
and that too, when his brother democrat moved
to make both tea and coffee free. He further
states that when the question was between ma
king tea and coffee pay 20 per cent or coffee 2
cents, and tea from 8 to 21 cents, he voted for
the highest duly. This latter duly was a tax
ot about23 per cent on coffee, and about3s ].< r
cent on tea. Here then you admit, that you
preferred a higher lax on coffee of 3 per cent and
of 15 per cent on tea, than you could have ob
tained, if you desired it You and your partv
charged the Whigs with opposing the people
with putting a ruinous duty of 20 per cent on
tea wild coffee, and iimr, you, a democrat, prefer
and vote tor a higher duly when you could have
got a less one.
But Air. Cooper slips over the history of these
votes, without telling the talc as it existed. As
such,-4 vvidtell it lor him. But 1 should like to
know how he dared tax tea anti coffee, after
what his party have said against it !
\\ lien the committee had reported the bill,
they had proposed amendments—so that no duly
was levied on tea and coffee bv nano—and they
lead provided that they should pay a duty each of
5 per cent per pound.
•'[ion concurring in the first amendment
which st ruck onUlbe high duties, Mr. Cooper
voted not —but it was carried without his help.—
The next vote then was to make them pay a du
ty c.f 25 per cent or five per cent—he a-raiii v
ted for tho highest duly. He says, 1 h.xfr in this
case he voted lor the lowest duty, hut remember
that he once before acknowledged, that lie voted
for higher duties, when lie could have gotten less
ones—this should be remembered, for we will
soon see, what a lame excuse he now sets up for
this last vote. He says that the section which
taxed tea and coffee “0 per cent bad been strick
en out, and that the following had teen substi
tuted. “On all raw and unmanufactured arti
cles not herein enumerated,orprovided for, there
shall bo levied, collected and paid, a duty of 5
per centum ad valorem; and on all articles man
ufactured in whole or in part, not herein enume
rated or provided for, a duty of 33 per centum ad
valorem.” Mr. Cooper says that believing that
the revenue officers would “class ‘coffee’ with
articles manufactured i nparl,” he voted against
concurring. Does any body believe this?” Air.
Cooper had all the while been voting to make
coffee pay a tax of 25 percent instead of 20 per
cent, and tea a duty of 35 per cent. He got at
last the duly placed on tea, which he desired—

—was not this what he had been alter all the
while, and did he not know that his constituents
liked tea as well ascoffee? Bufhe says, that he
feared that the revenue officer would call coffee
an article manufactured ‘in part.’ Docs he think
the revenue officers such fools, as not to know, '
that raw coffee is unmanufactured? Coffee is
taken from the tree, hulled and brought to mar
ket—until it is parched,'ground ami boiled, it is
not manufactured. Vv heal and corn are thrash
ed am! shucked—it is then ready for sale—nei
ther one is manufactured in part until ground—
an-! so is coffee iu the same situation. You
might as well say that an apple or peach were in
part manufactured when gathered to be eaten, as
to say that coflee is—for they are both fruit, and
both have ripened and become ready for use.
But Air. Cooper never believed what he says
lie believes. The first clause of the section says,
all “raw ami unmanufactured” articles shall pay
a duty of 3 per cent. Is not coffee taken from
the store raw, and does not every old woman in
the country know that it must he cooked or
parched—it is not manufactured—for do not the
ladies and men both know that you boil it before
you can use it! If so, then it is “raw and un
manufactured,” and should pay a duty of but 5
per cent. Mr. Cooper voted to make it 2ct per
cent.
But Mr. C. justifies his vote upon the ground
that his Whig colleagues in part voted as he did.
How dares he to protect himself behind the con
duct of a Whig? Your party defeated us for
-ihiaVOlejUfrtca and coffee. You rode into pow
er upon it—done tho same aetjami now rutpn-
GTilicaUy skulk behind the Whigs loshield your
self. Come out you miscreant, ami let 1 Ire world
see you naked and rfefnrtmd. Ho charges the
editors and their corresf indents with “namin-r
candor and sincerity.” What has been said you
have admitted and in no trise rliam’ed the lads.
They,however, would scorn to r .xemtnge charac
ter for either; with a man who is publicly ois- 1
graced in the eves of tjre nation, for disregard ol
truth. s. !
Alark Anthony Cooper.
Wc last week noticed a slight correction of
figures iu the recent public, tion ol this bonorabl
gentleman—which correction had been carefully 1
made by a emrespondent of the Gcorgia.!ourn..j.
Since writing that article, we have procured a ,
copy of Document No. 244. from which Mark
Anthony professes to make his startling quota- \
lions, and upon a careful examination of the du 1
tics under the act of 1828, compared with the 1
honorable gentleman's statement of them in his i
lour volume speech, wc find that he has grosslv t
and widely misrepresented the facts. We will 1
not say that his false figures arc the result of a <
deliberate des gn to mislead his consti uents; l-ut '
we will say, that no man is fit to represent the !
Stale of Georgia in tho Naiirnal Councils, who 1
was either too dishonest to give a fair statement ‘
ol Jucls to his constituents, or too ignorant to as
certain, with the published documents before him,
whut were the facts in the case as represent! d.
And wo will go farther, saying that ihe absence >
of a design to mislead, and the absence of talents r
to understand the truth, do not furnish the least 1
excuse for the gross misrepresentations in Mr. t
Cooper’s speech. <j
Upon a subject of such importance to his con 1
slituents as that upon which he undertakes to f'
enlighten them, if Mr. Cooper was not a suffi- d
cient mathematician to understand the figures, he h
ought to have called in the aid of some one of a
tho salaried cletks of the Treasury Department,
to make out the list ot tariff duties for him ; t*
though, in all conscience, ihey are so plainly d
made out in the document from which he quoted, o
that it is hard to twlieve he did not intentionally ■■
misrepresent them. o
For the sake of letting our readers see the ti
chances of the honorable gentleman had of telling a
the truth, we give below a correct (ample of the fc
table from wbiclf lie quoted. Here in the mtinner

At length she thought ot another plan ; and the

Mr. Van Huron’s monthpeaee at Albany is in
about a peek of trouble wit a the friends of Col
Johnson. The l.ocotoco members ot the Ken
tucky Legislature, it seems, have nominated the
Colonel tor the Presidency, and in doing so,
have taken occasion to compliment .Mr. Van Bu
rnt for his disinterestedness in declining a no
vtiiialion by Uic Missouri Legislature. This
the Argus takes tire at, and pronounces a mis
conception of Mr. Van Buren’s letter. He by
no means declined on that occasion, nor intends
to decline on any other. If “the Democracy"is
desirous of further services from him, he is ready.
We are obliged to take sides with the Arcus in
this controversy; for we did not ourselves consid
er Mr. Van Buren’s epistle to the Missourians
as a tkeliiutliirc, but as an acceptance, and, if
we are not mistaken, so expressed our opinion at
the lime. Ihe Kinderltooker never intended to
decline, and never will decline a nomination
while there is the slightest chance for him to ob
tain it; and the friends of Calhoun, ot Johnson
ami ol Buchanan may just as well make up their
minds Jo that conclusion first as last. How
these family matters may be made up, and how
the conflicting personal and sectional interests
may finally he settled, are matters that do not
exactly concern us, and about which wc have
very little solicitude, since we have a candidate
of our own who we trust can beat them all
whether they come singly, in pairs, or all to

form that best suits itself, may tight single hand

Fellow Cuttmn;

and ten mlu r member* of tlw Democratic Legis
lature of layt year, at the clorc of the set»**ion. Ah
Judge Brown id again it candidate fur your t»uf
ftogcK, and id even attempting to procure your
vuiea by strung declarations of liofeiiliiy lu ll;«t
Central B» n k, you should look a liulo at lca»t
into that wonderful Act width was *• to revise
and render efficient the ('on Ire 1 Bank, and thus
to enable u to d;t>chuige itn important duties to
the Htate and to the People.” You might readi
ly (suj pOM*. f.otn thin precious effusion of self
pi ajyc and boasting, something had been done
iar firmer legidlation, and peculiar
ly calculated to spread prospetiiy over our dis
tressed and embarrassed community.
\ou might reasonably, after such extensive
promises ol comfort and consolation, have expec
ted a sound currency and Us concomitant bless
ings. \et how wofutiy have wc, one and all,
been disappointed ! ! That Act which afforded
the Honorable Judge so much matter for self
c°i graiulation, and urged him to lay aside his
u uai timidity and step boldly forth to demand
your “ special notice” and universal commenda
tion, has hud no more effect in staying the down
ward progress of that rickety concern called the
Central Bank, than the nostrums of a quack our
keenest physical maladies.
1 hat famous Act, which was to bring so much
piatse and glory to i.s authors, and so much hap
piness to the people, contains two sections: 'i’he
first repeals the act of the Legislator, oi 1840,
which look away from the Central Bank its pow
er of distribution, and of using the p.omissory
no’es of individuals as Banking capital, and pla
ced it exactly in the same position it occupied
»rom 1828 to 1837. Let us pause for one mo
ment just here. The Act ot 1840 was passed to
clothe the Central B^ 1 wtm llio Kw* J.&w...rr, 1
and no u*»re, which it held when the institution
equalled any in the wide world for solvency.
The Act of 1841, that of the last Legislature,
was passed to repeal that of 1840. Here, then,
we hear Judge Brown openly boasting of having
repealed one ct the wis*sf and most wholesome
laws to he found in the Statute Books. Yes, fel
low ciiiz ns, notwithstanding at this particular
cr sis, and in tius community, you may bo told
that Judge Brcwn is opposed to the Bank, wish
es it wound up. and ail that kind ofsofttalk, you
fi id him, according to his own boast, laboring at
Milledgeville last year to reinstate and revive it.
r. I hope there is }et sufficient indignation left in
> your bosoms to vent upon these men, who boast
10 so loudly of their iniquity and folly,merited pun
is ishment.
y But, now for the second section of that famous
t Act, of which the Honorable Judge is so proud :
y “ It shali not be lawful fur the Central hank of
,'j Georg.'i, to make any further loans of its bills, u«-
♦ s til it shill Le a:!e t.> sustain its circulation at par
r with the bids of specie paying banks, and make a
1 general di.-tiibution according to law—nor shall
ri% any insolvent evidence of debt due said Bank be
of consider*.d a> banking capital upon which an issue
s- may be made.”
It impliedly gives the Central Bank full pow
er to issue its own notes upon the promissory
lt notes of men scattered all over the State, and
a whose circumstances change daily—the very
,-c power which his brought cur Stale to its present
it disgraceful si ustiun. To be sure, the loans are
a I to be discontinued until the Central Bank shall
ut be able to sus’um ita circulation at par with bills
=»j of specie (ay mg Banks. When that end is at*
ie tamed, once io re is to be commenced a general
,1 ‘ distribu'ion, and the abominable p.sctice of using
1 the promissory notes of individuals, instead of
\j r'al money, as hanking capital.
' it the 2 1 section, and now I ask you,
r fellowcjtizcns. da nun who will boast of having
jj perpetrated so much folly deserves the least
• t . countenance 1
j v Is it wonderful when such laws arc subject

should have sunk Irom ten to thirty-five per cent

r ONE OF THE REDDLE.
From the Washington AVtc*.
r l he t urreneyr
The issuer helwtren political parties in Geor
gia have narrowed down to almost the sole qncs
v lion of Ihe currency.
i The advocates «I a had currency—those who
. sup]»orlthe Central Hank in its ruiiions course
t consist of tlie Democratic papers and partizans.
- True, some of tin* former, located in c. inmercial
r cities where Central Ha* k money passes only at
I its true value, pretend to oppose that institution;
r but the opposition they offer is weak and inrili
-1 cient, they are forced by the circumstances ol
r? their situation to make some show of resistance
t to that great political machine oftheir parly; but
1 the reluctance fney manifest, vvlien compelled
p to discuss the question, shows that thev had
much rather tay nothing about it. The Deino
-2 cra’ic candidates, too. run with th«* bare and
s hunt with tlie hound.as the proverb says.
- Electioneering with the advocates of a sound
currency,thev pretend to he opposed to the Cen
tral Hank; but they tel) Democrats they are its
r suppor ers and admirers, and at Milledyeville
i they vote with iheir party to maintain it in its
ruinous influence over the prosperity of the State
- and ardently recommend it Io the people, in this
I part of I lie Stale, w here the people are to he hca
i vily taxed to support tins institution, from wliich
they liave no* iveeiv d a particle ol benefit, and
which does not supply a single dollar of tile cur
» reney, an «>|K*n. I *<.•!,i and luanlv opp<»si!iuii at
home and in the Legislature, would better be
come them.
The Whigs haw strenuously opposed the abu
ses of this institution, and I* e impositions prac
tised by other worth), ss hanks upon tin* commu
nity. 1 hey have labored heart and soul to in,-
, press upon the people right ideas of their true
interests. 'J’hctc* jjapers have again and aoain
denounced the Federal Union and other kindred
prints which are endeavoring to gull liie public,
into tlie belief that ‘ the People s Hank” cannot
fail— that it was the best Bank in the State, &c.
They have pointed them ns examples to the Stale
Banks ol Alah .ma and Mississippi, institutions
on the same plan with our Central Bank, which
are broken and worthless, notwithstanding thev
were the /People’s Banks.” and were managed
with at least as much, if not greater ability and
honesty than ours. Their candidates have de
nounced all manufactories of spurious currency,
from the stump, in all political assemblies, and in
the Legislative halls, while the rag money men
(formerly the advneafts of a hard money, specie I
currency!) have preserved a suspicious silence, j
or, in sections where such doctrines were popu- t
lar, have dared to plead in favor oi the rotten
Banks. t
The action ol the next Legislature in relation
to the currency of the Stale must necessarily be *
important. The time has come wht n the preva- (
lent derangements can b? endured no longer.— 1
The people arc beginning to awake on this sub- 1
jeet, and to see into how lamentable a condition 1
the action of the (so called) Democratic partv I
has brought them, when so great difference as c
o 0 per cent exists between the currency of one \
section of the State and of another not fifty v
miles distant. Jf the Democratic party has the v
majority in the next Legislature these abuses
will continue, they will attempt to do nothing to t
conect them, and if they adopt ai.y plan of re- G
medy, it will be some weak and impracticable i
one, only intended to gull the people into the be- »i
lief that they desire to do so ething, but really h
(as was their conduct in relation to the double
tax) with no sincere wish to do any thing effec- 1
lual. P
The freemen of Georgia, iu their selection of x
Representatives, have then to choose either those 5
candidates who pledge themselves to do every 1
thing in their power to give them a sound ami W
equal currency, and whose conduct heretofore
has proved them its sincere advocates, or those f Q
who talk one way at home and vote and act dia- l€
metrically the contrary way at Milledgcville. a
lowa.—The Whigs have carried the Lrg!s!a
lure for the fir*t time. The lowa City Standard pa

►So li.r as Georgia is concerned, she ha* been
and is now cursed with a eurnmey worse than

and their proiinseM to pay are n »vv worthless to
the people, ihe people with some oi these have
a I ready adopted the only possible means by which
they can escape the evil ot having their notes
still circulating among Hum as mohci,. And if
the State authorities will prosecute the law with
vigor, these chartered libertines who have abused
a solemn trust, will forever be blotted from the
list ot banks. But bow easy would it be to re
vive these sinking institutions, w re the people
to act in relation to them as they do to the Cen
tral Bank. Just let them receive their bills at
par, and in a very short time the country will
again be Hooded with them. No!—the remedy
is with the people. They have applied it to many
ol the banks—let them apply it to all, and the
people ot Georgia will soon have, within their
own limits, a unitorm and sound currency.
But so long as the east trades with the West,
and the south with the north—so tong ;i s agri
culture and commerce flourish—so long as one
State hasrlie privilege of chartering banks, and
another the same—just so long will there e\L*.

the currency, sufficiently great as to absolutely
require a corrective. This must be so from the
very nature oft lungs. The imperfection of man,
if nothing else, ensures it. Hanks, like mi n’
will risk and venture unless restrained. Fv/W

have sos-.nd banking institutions f.«r a term cif
years, as is now the case in South Carolina; hut
while this Stale is thus blessed, will any one pre
tend to assert that the people of South Carolina
are not sjffering to a very considerable extent
by the deranged state of tile currency in Geor
gia? We believe not one!
The corrective then that is proposed, is a Na
tional Bank. Experience has proved the utility
ot stu ban institution. Men or politicians may
say what they please—Mr. Benton may laud
his bard money project, and Mr. Tyler may con
coct as many Exchequers .as he pleases—hut
facts speak louder than words—and history de
monstrates that which it were both vain and
foolish to deny. Men of business, in all pro
fessions—the mechanic, farmer, merchant—yes,
even the daily laborer—the man who works foi
his fitly cents per day—all can testify to the truth
ot this.
The fust National Bank that was charterer
was chartered by whom? Why, in part, bv
those who framed our glorious constitution!—
And did U prove disadvantageous to our people
Let those who lived in the days ot the first Na
tional B uik testify! They will toll you. am!
then aiv now the sages of our land, that, during
the existence of the old Bank of America, thi:
country was prosperous. That, to use the lan
guage of a Florida cotemporary, “Trade an
1 commerce nourished: the Mechanic’s were cm
ployed a iu! flourished; the shipping interest!
flourished; the moneyed interests flourished; am
i the whole country went on together, moved /or

The first National Bank was put down, ant
I how went on the affairs of the people? Histon

j that il fared hail both with people and country
Our Government soon became harrassed le
creditors. Dur people fell from their forme

• doors of almost every man; and when proper! l
was turned over lu these officers of the law b
satisfy the cravings of the hungry creditor, ilia
? which cost the sufferer thousands , would no
command hundreds. It was soon evident ilia
something was required by the people to onernb
► against such a slate of tilings. A Nation*
| Bank was again proposed, and a National Haul
was again chartered. Much is duo to John C
Calhoun for this second National Bank, Nov
. we find him an opponent of the whole Bankim
system.
\V (41, did this second National Bank amve
the purpose* for which it was chartered? \\\
say that il did. And if called upon for author

their testimony is upon the record.
The Great Experimenter, however, after asa

Democratic Pledges*
The Georgia Democrats attempt to justify then
wanton violation of the pledges they made to the
people last year, by resorting the charge upon the
Wings, it we, say they, did not fulfil our promi
ses in icgard to red ii tion of raxes and relief, neith
er dil the Whigs fulfil theirs made in IS4O. dims
they attempt to excuse their own wrong by charg
ing vvioi.-g upon others !
but the (vises of the two parties aie entirely dis
similar, The Wings pledged themselves to'etfVn t
a ifTf.itn in the odmimstraticn of a Federal Gov
einmciif; to retrench its lavish expenditure, and to
c-srry out a system of policy which would produce
piosperity ami a ivmwal of confidence ami credit

Were equally unforeseen.
/How w.»? i' wiih the Demodafs r They went"
*i to pavvt riu this State, lot year, upon pledges
dis-'m*.: y and uucquiv. rally made ; they promised
a reduction of taxes and relief of *.he distresses of
fl.c people by the state Government, They had a
l*ige major by iu the IjCgislature, and a Democra!-
ic Governor; there appeared nothing to prevent
them fit in fulfilling their promises. Have they
done so ? Ask any one who has pai l his taxes, if
f bey aic not at least equal to those of last year.
They made hut .• very «light effort to ieduce the
taxes ; Iheir schemes ci relief were abandoned, the
moment they had served their purposes, and now
their presses and politicians arc entirely silent on
thesu! j-ct—they do net even condescend to give
a reason for this flagrant treachery, and with their
usual unblushing effrontery they are calling on the
peepb* to give their suffrages again to Iheir candi
dates !
1 hey will teJl us, perhaps,that tluy did aUcmpt
to tr.ake a ieduction of the taxes. Out did their
imposed reduction come up to that they had prom
ised. Instead of the one hundred per cent diminu
tion, which they promised, they passed a law re
ducing the taxes one-fifth! This diJ not fulfill
their pledge, and was so shallow a device to gull
the people into the belief that they wished to keep
their promises, that ii deceived nobody. Kveiy
one could see that their practice did not square
with their professions, and every one believed that
they passed the hw, knowing the Governor would
veto if, and that, without that knowledge they
would not have passed it.
Had they been sinceie in their desire to reduce
the taxes, why do they still support and follow
Governor McDonald, who prevented that favjiiie
near me ? When John Tyler thvvaited the meas
ures of the Whigs and prevented them fiom carry
ing into effect their policy, they renounced and
•ast him from them ; they g ive to the woi Id a spec
tacle such as the world never saw before; a great
pmy, with one mind and as one man, renouncing
a favorite leader after having raised him tu the
irst place among the rulers of the earth. Dis|a n
•ei as he was, of immense power and patronage
with the wealth of a vast nation in his grasp, lie
vas too poor to bsibe any but a pitiful and con
temptihle remnant of his former host of friend' to
bllow him in his traitorous desertion. Thev sm
endered up Ihe fruits of hard-won victory without 1
t murmur, rather than be parties to John Tyler’s (
lagrant breach « f pledge*. Not so with the Dem
ocrats. Governor iVlcDonald refused to sanction a j
mniai performance ol their pledge—dD they desert t
lira—did they denounce him—did they disavow
is futuie acts / Not at all ;he is still tho oracle !

I serves a more emphatic term, the cruelly of this

expression of the indignant feeling that prevails
throughout the Stale, and it is the peculiar office
■ of the pul,he journals, 'o he the medium of such
I expression and expose lhe. dire ictions ol duly on
, the part al every one entrusted with administra
, HOD ol law, whether that law should accord with
. bis own news ol propriety or not.
r . As l ° whether Judge Nichols comes within
the purview of his duly, the public will he heller
. ““f t 0 alier hearing, and being sat.s
- lied as to the truth of the charges.
V is cl ' ar ? ed first place, that lhe rule.
I and mgulal.ons to govern the court, were not
published, until nearly or quite a month afier
1 the law went into operation; while in other
1 Stales they were published in time to afford an
'' P' lCr ; ,lls tbe opportunity to avail themselves If
. the law. on the very day it went into opoialion.
: ppiiirs also, that these rules aniUeculatinrat
>the.. P ub l :rl..-.y r |
’information, lhe copy right beingcccurtd by (he
1 Judge, either for his own or the benefit of a spe
cial friend; whilst in other Slates, the rules and
a regulations were mi le known through the puHhc
I newspapers, so that the poorest were infertned
■- without expense as to the mothis oprrjLadi.
Again, after these rules were pcldishcd, ami
1- applications filed accordingly,.Aha .fudge ha?
y thought proper to alter, amend or abolish ihese
v rules al pleasure, and in some instances, after a
d day lor hearing had been assigned, and the ap
i- plicani complying with the then existing rules,
b the Judge has tefused the (iroper decree, as?:gii
'j ing as a reason that these rules had been suiier-
II ceded by oilier?.
’ ll also appears, that in the compilation of these
rules, there has been no specified price allowed
|, for publishing applications—thereby leaving the
petitioner to the tender mercy of the printer,
■d whose compassion is exemplified by dunging at
v least double what others would have hern glad to
have taken it at. in the Southern District of N.
;• Yoik, the Judge so far from making himself lia
hie to (be charge of this kind, had the printing
d put out to the lowest bidder, which was taken by
lhe Courier cf- Enquirer at #s—whilst in this
IS Stale, if we arc not wrongly informed, it is <2B
, Uul the Judge, as if ntn satisfied vvi h making
(has expensive as possible, has rendered it »r ry
inconvenient for many, wishing to avail theui
1( ’l eeiVcs oi the law. The law provides, that the
I pap*-e"shall be proven befote a Stale Judge—in
,j a Commissioner residing in the same i-ouiiiy
wi U the applicant. In 93 counties in the State
id there ate only (it) where there have been any
ry Commissioners appointed, and in some of these
d. tb»o appointed have not accepted, and theii
y. places remain unsupplied. Even here, where il
>y w '’uid ha supposed there woulu he as little incon
er veniencc left up in this ground as any other conn
t- ty, yet fiorn the frequent absence of Judge Tracy
tc on his Circuit, the want ol Commissioners nm
ly unfrequen ly delays those wishing to make ap
1,1 pficatioin A few day ? since, a gentleman had
* l to ride front Macon county, a distance of sixty
”( miles, in consequence of there being no Comnns
’’ sioneis appointed for his county.
a l Lastly, the Judge iscv dently perverting the
ik law i i“ irquirir-g me length of liotc he does, tc
' dischaigo the bankiupt. The law provides, dial
w -U drvs notice shall he given in one or more
puhbc newspapers, befote the applicant can he
declared a bankrupt, and 90 dry ? trom the decree
er of bankruptcy to a hearing for a final disebatge,
e making in all 11(1 days from lhe filing efthe
r- petition. Now what is Judge Nichoi’s iuterpre
10 tali-it of this—why, that instead of carrying out
to the intention of the law, in granting a discharge
so to those who comp y with its requisitions, in lln
1(1 days, he has in no instance allotted a shorter pe
riod than (• months, and mere f'cqoently i
a month;.. Wo have now before o? the puldica*
tton of a notice if an application in bankruptcy,
:l _ filed on the 17 It August, and the day rpjiomted
~ for the itr&t heatit-g, was Xov. 24tb. n aking 3
H j months and 7 days. To see how this compares
, n with the practice in other Stales, we took up a
ig Mobile pa| :pr, and loiinil that applications filed
le on the Ist Hept. were io be heard on the Ist Got.,
ok making it) day?, a d.fieri m e in the time of the
id first hearing ot GS d ivs between this State and
n Alabama. And in New V’oik, we h 1 eve the
Judge adheres stiicily to the law—in all cases
e while there is no fuieign indebtedness, ihe
\ e question then arises, why this delay ! docs it rc
ls su I trorn the Jo Ige’a great regard for the interest
cl of the C;editor, or some utfn-r motive? Is it not
reasonable to suppose, if tin- bankrupt had been
[e guilty of concealing any of his t fi’-cts or d, in? any
|( | thing else that would debar him f.om the hetafit
„ of the law, that the creditor would in IK) days
s- be as likely to di-covcr if as he would in 7or 8
months? Among all the otj‘Clions urged against
d the law, this has ni ver iteen urged—that the
in creditor bad not a sufficient time to investigate
A the honesty of his ik hior. Then what is the
reason for this apparent hostility to the law, and
every one who .-erTs its bcntfiJ! ft must rrsult
either from two reasons, liiat by di laying the
discharge ol those who apply until i!.e next Gon
!r grew, he will succeed in Ut fating ih-in by the
'<■ repeal of the law—or else il is the extra hilmr in
quired of him for which there is t o extra rtt.o'u
merit, if the first he the reason, and his eon
-18 science is so very sensitive, woulo it not he tune
honorable to resign the office—if die la.-l, it would
he an art of humanity in Judge Wayne, io o l iw
;■ the Judge some recreation, by supplying his place
t occa?ioiia!ly.
