• passage of a uniform Bankrupt Law.
Mr. Walker, of Mississippi. presented one
of these from that State, lie said, i lint it
the present Congress did not pass a bank
rupt law, lie would be in favor of an extra
session, if for no other purpose than to enact
one.
Mr. Walker and others may be assured
that there tPt/l he an extra session. Iho
whole matter has been well considered ;
and the Whig Senators have unanimously
concurred in recommending General llur
rison to cull it. The exact time of meet
ing has not been designated.
The memorial from Maryland, in refer

The House of Representatives was a

Note Bill.
Mr. Pope, of Kentucky, spoke at consid
erable length, in favor of making perma

lie also advocated at great length, the

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 8, 1841.
Resumption.
The Ist of February seems to have pass
ed olf in quiet throughout the State, with
out any of those great and tciriblc commo
tions, in the Banking world, predicted by
the panic makers. All the Banks of the
State, so far as we have learned, are pay
ing Specie, and we trust that having the
fear of Governor McDonald, that terrible
enemy of Banks, Paper Money, and the
Credit System, fully before their eyes, they
may, by performing their promises to the
community, bring back to us good old times
again.
The Branch of the State Bank in this
place has, of course, resumed with the rest,
but no demand for specie has been made up
on it.
Governor McDonald’s Keller
Message.
We have refrained from roticing the at
tevnps which the late Van Buren party have
been industriously making, to -aise some
political capital to themselves ou of the
rejection by the legislature of this scheme
of the Governor; until we could leant by
the result of the Congressional Election the
sentiments of the people upon that subject.
We have followed this course, because w-e
hvished to ascertain what credence the
statements of the Van Buren prints, (un
contradicted, for the mest part, by the Har
rison party,) that the present distress was
caused by tiie rejection of that measure ;
yet obtain among the people. That Elec
tion is now determined in favor of the party
who rejected the Governor’s scheme of re
lief, and shows their majority undiminish
cd, (in proportion to the number of votes
[wiled,) in spite of the clamors of the des
perate fragment of a faction that once coil
stituted the V an Buren party in Georgia.
Such is tho result we anticipated. The
Governor’s scheme was too shallow an at
tempt to catch voters to deceive any ;
the bait did not hide the hook. Like most
of the Locofoco politicians, he had under
rated the intelligence of the people ; by
holding out to them the delusive prospect
of present relief, he hoped to blind them to
the ruinous consequence certain to follow
the adoption of his plan, an enormous State
debt, a further depreciated credit, and a
burdensome taxation. This was legisla
ting for tho present at the expence of the
future—providing for to-day and letting to
morrow take care of itself. “Let the State
borrow money to pay the debts of her citi
zens, and then depend on Providence and
the next Crop, to pay her creditors,” was in
’ effect his Excellency’s proposition.
Promptly, and relying upon the good
sense of the people to perceive the aksurdi-
I ty of the scheme, did the Harrison Legisla
ture reject it, and nobly have they been
sustained in their course. Although op
pressed by the debt brought upon them by
years of misrule, and told by the unprinci
pled authors of their distress to ascribe it to
the party which is attempting to remedy it,
a party too, not yet in full possession of
power, yet have the freemen of Georgia a
gain declared their unshaken confidence in
. that party, and their determination, instead
of increasing,to remedy the disorders of our
finances before it becamo incurable.
Tho country will he deluded no longer
by the fallacious arguments and statements
of the Van Buren papers. Their claims to
credibility have been lost in the recent Pre
sidential contest. How confidently did
they advance the most groundless charges
against the successful candidate, and with
what inimitable effrontery did they assure
the people, before the election, that Mr.
Van Buren would triumph by the most un
precedented majorities ; yet their accusa
tions were proved to be groundless, and
their prophecies were found to be false
hoods. Nor can they plead that, in their
attempts to deceive others, they were them
selves deceived ; most of their leaders, a
cute and discerning men, foresaw what
would be the event unless their schemes
for deluding those whose intelligence they
undervalued, succeeded. They are now
reaping their reward, in tho utter loss of 1
their credibility, added to the mortification !
of the most overwhelming defeat ever cx-
I
peril need by any party.
Eclipse.
To-morrow night, if the weather be fa
vorable, we shall witness that interesting
sight, a total eclipse of the Moon. It will
commence at the meridian of New-York at
9 minutes past 7 in the evening ; greatest
obscuration at 0 minutes past 8, and will
end ai 39 minutes past 10. This, says the
New World, “ will be the 19ih periodical
return of an eclipse which occurs every
nineteen years ; it having first been obser
ved on the 30th of June, 1498. Its next re
turn wili be in the year 1859, on the 17th
of February, at which time the moon will
set partially eclipsed. It will continue to
return periodically until the year 2219,
at which time it will cease and not again
return till a period of 12,257 years shall
have elapsed. The eclipse of the sth of
February will be visible to all parts of the
United States, the Canadas, the greater part
of Mexico, the whole of South America,
Europe, and as far East as Bombay at
which place tho moon will go down parti
ally eclipsed. The moon will set totally
eclipsed at Arabia, Egypt, Moscow, and
the tommies adjacent to the Caspian Sea.”
A National Hank. —The Governor of
Delaware, in his message to the Legisla
ture, recommends the adoption of resolu
tions in favor of a National Bank, and also
of other resolutions expressive of “ unqual
ified disapprobation of the act passed at the
last session, familiarly known as tho sub
treasury law.”
Tin Ore discovered in New Hampshire.—
Gov. Page’s message to the New Hamp
shire Legislature, speaks of the discovery
of tin ores at tho loot of the White Moun
tains, in Coos co., which yield from 31) to 41)
pr. ct. in the pure washed ore. This is one
of the fruits of the recent Geological Sur
vey of that State, and is the more valuable
because in no other part of our country lias
tin ore been found in sufficient quantities to
render the working of mines profitable.
An Exploit. —A “ whig” paper reports
that Gen. Harrison lately knocked a man
down, with his own presidential fist, for
calling him a coward, in Louisville, Ken
tucky. The paper which gives this ac
count, is called the “ Democratic Press,”
and is under the supervision and control of
a Federal Junto in New-York. We pre
sume the fact will not be disputed as it is
recorded by Harrison’s own friends, and is
moreover cited as a proof of his valor and
physical energy. This is in fine keeping
with tin debauchery and bullyism exhibit
ed by the vhiggery at the lute election.— J
Raleigh Standard.
We had heard this story before ; and j
thought at the time we heard it, that Gen. j
H. had sufficient ■provocation for the exer
cise of his “ presidential fist.” An ac
quaintance, who was in Kentucky at the
tune, informs us that ha heard the matter
frequently spoken of. While Gen. 11. was
at Louisville, and receiving the congratu
lations of his personal and political friends
upon liis success, some unmannerly rascal
thrust his face up to the General, and said,
aie a damned old coward !” The
General instantly knocked him down. The
wretch no doubt presumed upon Gen. H’s
position before society in order to pass this
insult with impunity. The act of knock
mg him down was one of impulse ; but it
vindicated the spirit of the “ coward” and
the weight of a “granny’s” arm. We
venture to say there are very few men who
would acknowledge that they would not
have done a similar thing under similar
circumstances. Greensboro’ Patriot.
President Van Buren appears to be dis
posed to occupy the last days of his admin
istration in doing certain things, which he
obviously intends shall embarrass his suc
cessor. We allude to appointments to of
fice, in cases where the public interest did
not require them, and which there was no
necessity formaking atthe present time.—
Wp have particular refrouci'fc cases where
| the commissions the persons now hold, will
! not expire until at tho time, or after the ex.
|pi ration of his administration, llis object
doubtless is, either to force the persons up
on the new administration, or subject Gen.
Harrison to odium for removing, them.—
This is it shallow, as woll as a contempti
ble artifice; and wo shall bo very much
mistaken inour ideas of General Harrison’s
character, if he has not firmness enough to
meetsueli a trick as this without flinching
from his duty. As President Van Buren
professes to he an udiuirerof Mr. Jefferson,
wo recommend to his consideration the fol
j lowing remarks of his prototype in democ
| racy. “lean say with truth,” says Mr.
Jefferson, “ that one act ofMr. Adam’s life,
and one only,cvrrgave me a moment’s per
sonal displeasure. I did consider his lasi
appointments to office as personally unkind.
They were from among my most ardent po
litical enemies from whom no faithful co
operation could ever be expected ; and laid
me under the embarrassment of acting thro’
men whose views were to defeat mine, or to en
counter the odium of pulling others in their
places. It seems but common justice to
leave a successor free to act by instruments
of his own choice.” This seems to lie pret
ty conclusive authority for those who ac
knowledge Mr. Jefferson as the personifica
tion of genuine democracy, and who profess
to be governed by his principles and max
ims.—Hartford Couranl.
Asa forlorn hope, we observe that tho
press of the opposition party of our State
have laid hold of the Slate Bond measure,
proposed during the last session, upon which
to rally from their discomfiture, if they can.
Were there no other evidence of the despe
ration of their cause, we think this effort a
perfect demonstration of the fact. When
ever we see a party throw themselves* upon
one measure, and rely upon it wholly for
success, it is a proof of the general feeble
ness of that party ; but when, on examina- i
tion, it is discovered that the sole prop on ‘
which they depend is hut a broken reed— j
that their one only ground is wholly unsuh- j
stantial, the utter hopelessness of such u )
party is positively proved, beyond question I
and beyond doubt.
We meet the issue tendered by our oppo
nents, anil we appeal to the people of Geor
gia for their arbitrament; and, in so doing,
as wc have a mortal abhorrence of unne
cessary argument, wc shall shorten the dis
cussion by touching those points only which
have any practical bearing on the question.
We shall not weary our readers by the dis
cussion of the propriety or policy of the
8:ato assuming the debts of the people, or
substituting its credit for theirs. As we
place the discussion on its true grounds,
viz: its utter impracticability, or its over
whelming oppression upon those sought to
be relieved, the discussion of the mere ab
stract question of political propriety, would
be but a useless waste of the time and pa
tience of the reader.
We assert that the measure proposed is
impracticable, or only practicable by being
made so oppressive to those sought to be
relieved, as to render it a perfect nullity.
The measure proposed is to sell the bonds
of tho State to the amount of three millions,
and to loan the money so obtained to the
people, without loss to the State. Now, by
reference to any newspaper giiing the
sales of State Stocks, the reader w ill ob
serve first, that they can only bo sold at a
great depreciation. When the measure
was discussed, we stated the highest rate at
which our information would allow us to
put the bonds of Georgia, as seventy dol
lars to be received for one hundred dollars
of the bonds of the State. Here, then, is a
loss at once of thirty dollars in each hun
dred, with this important addition, that with
the loss wc pay interest on one hundred, for
seventy received. Now let us see what
per cent, these two items come to, before we
proceed farther. We start then with, first,
an interest of forty per cent, for the depre
ciation of the bonds; then immediately
commences the interest of eight per cent,
on one hundred dollars, for seventy receiv
ed, which is at the rate of over eleven per
cent, per annum : making, for the first
year, over fifty per cent, for the loan.—
Now, the people are to bear the State harm
less, say our opponents, these special friends
of the people ; all we have to ask of our
fellow-citizens is this, are you willing to
give the per cent. ? Will you give fifty
per cent, for the loan of money ? Do you
think such a measure would be one of re
lief? Would you be willing to give fif
teen hundred dollars for a negro worth one
thousand ? If you are willing to ruin
yourselves either way, fellow-citizens, hard
as are the times, you will find no difficulty
in doing it. Make as secure paper as you
would have to make to the State, for fifteen
hundred dollars for Negroes which you can
sell for a thousand, and you can buy as
many as you want, or make as secure pa
per as you would have to make to the State,
at fifty per cent, interest, and hard as are
the times, you will command enough of
the article, to ruin you in twenty-four hours,
in any county in Georgia.
Now this is the plain view of the propo
sed relief measure so much talked of by
our political opponents. Does it not look,
fellow-citizens, like every other Van Buren
financial measure, making bad worse ; and
- if followed out. involving in utter ruin all
who accept of its tender’ mercies. We
! leave you to judge; and in the mean time,
I invite our opponents to overthrow our state
ments— not by more verbiage, or supposi-
I tion, hut by tho actual facts. Let them
j tell us at what ‘'ate the money can he had
(or State bonds ; let them by quotation of
j the actual money market overthrow our
J statements if they can—and if they cannot,
we trust thut they will not attempt farther
to deceive the people, or further to insult
them by supposing them blockheads enough
to bo gulled by such absurd, ruinous im
practicable plans of relief!! as tlicv at
tempt to impose on them.

Extension of Leap Year! —Tho ladies of
Nashville, Tenn., arc busily employed in
getting up a petition for the extension of
Leap 1 ear, to endow 1841 with all the
rights and privileges of the bissextile. The
cause of this movement is to bo found in
the stem stuff of which the hurts of the
men in that quarter are composed, two
years being necessary to subdue their ob
stinacy and contumaciousness.
Philadelphia Public Legcr.
Carrier Pigeons are advantageously used
by the Brokers in Holland. A letter in
the Journal of Commerce from Amsterdam,
says:
“They arc used between here and Ant
werp, 109 miles ; Paris and London, each
about 200 milesolf(in a direct line.) They ,
are used when any change of stocks takes ‘
place, enough to justify the expense to con- j
vey the intelligence of such change. They j
are carried to and fro by men on foot in
open baskets or cages, that they may see j
the way, and not bo jostled and shook bv
riding—are just given enough food by the
way to keep them from starving, (lying
: home with the news fastened to them, to he
\ fed. From Antwerp, they come in from
j tit) to 89 minutes, 100 miles. From two to
four hours from London to Paris, 200 miles, j
I according to wind and weather. This is j
I doubtless tho cause of so much scuffling and !
{ shuffling, witnessed every day on Change,
| and we Americans amuse ourselves every
j day with witnessing this singular and un
! business-like procedure.”
Insanity from breaking a Vow. —The Bos
ton Post tells the following story:
A woman, laboring under an extreme
degree of religious insanity, was brought i
up before the police, on Tuesday. Some j
months ago she took an oath never to drink !
j ardent spirits, and having on one or two!
recent occasions departed from her vow, ,
the thought ofit has turned her brain.—
When brought into court, she tinew her
self upon her knees, and began to pray as
rapidly as .she could utter the words—“O i
i Lord, forgive me—forgive me !” She was \
| sent to the Asylum for the Insane, at South j
I Boston. She has not been an intemperate
! woman.

EARTHQUAKE.
| The N. \oi k papers speak of an earth
quake which was felt in that city and
I neighborhood on Monday morning. The
American of Monday afternoon says—
This morning, at about 20 minutes be
j fore 0 o’clock, as a friend living in Broome
: street reports to us, he perceived a distinct
I rocking of liis bed—he being then awake
and perfectly collected—which was follow- ]
ed by a hoarse rumbling sound that con
tinued several seconds. He rose from his
bed and found the ladies of the family rou
sed by the rattling of tiie hall stove-pipe
and tiie falling of the top of tiie stove.
After this gentleman had told the story,
several others came in, living at intervals I
from the Battery to Union Place, all stat
ing the same general fact of having been
startled by the rocking of their beds, the
shaking of the house, and the continuous
dead rumbling sound that followed.
The same occurrences were noted at
Jersey City, Weehawken, and Williams
burg, on Long Island.
The time as noted by all, was from 20
to 25 minutes before 6 o’clock. The sky’
clear and almost cloudless, and the weath
er mild.
It seems impossible to doubt that these
phenomena, were occasioned by the shock
of an earthquake. If so, we shall hear
more of it from South Americaor the West
Indies.
The Newark, N. J. Advertiser of Mon
day afternoon says—
This city and its vicinity was very se
verely shaken this morning about half past
5 o’clock, as is generally supposed by an
earthquake, We hear from all parts of
tho city that families were roused from
sleep by the shaking, some say rocking,
of their dwellings. Several gentlemen
rose, expecting to find the walls of their
house opened, or cracked at least, and all
concur in speaking of the rumbling noise
which is understood to be one of the indi
cations of an earthquake. We hear of the
same phenomenon as far west of us as
Springfield, and at Bellville on the north,
a range of some 10 or 12 miles. The
shock appears to have been felt for about 20
seconds. There was a similar quake in
tins vicinity about 40 years ago, which is
said to have been in the same direction.
A good one. —An individual residing
in county, when under age, contrac
ted a debt, amounting to near sixteen dol
lars, which he refused to pay. lie was
sued, and employed an Attorney of this
place to defend the case. What is your
defence, demanded the Counsel ? Plead my
minority, said the client, when I contrac
ted the debt, for I have no other defence.
Very well, replied the counsel. They
proceeded to the Justice’s Court, where
the plea was made, and succeeded. The
Court decided in favor of the young man,
and the creditor had to pay all costs.
Butthis is not the best of the joke. A
set'foment had yet to be made between 1
| Client atul'Coiinsrl. This was soon brought
‘about by adun front the Counsel. What
do you charge for your services, Col.
Twenty dollars, sir. Twenty dollars ! ex.
[ claimed the Client, why I was sued for
! only sixteen dollars. 1 had better have
paid that. So you had, replied the lawyer,
j and for not doing so, you shall now fork up
to me twenty—so out with it, sir, and learn
to pay your honest debts in future. The
twenty was forked up, and the sufferer will
we hope, profit by his experience.— Geo.

IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION
SMITH AND HOE, vs. ACKER, SHE
RIFF.
This was an action of replevin, original
ly brought in the New York Common Pleas
by Smith and Hoe against Jacob Acker, the
then Sheriff, to recover certain printing
; presses levied upon by said Acker under an
execution.
It appeared upon the trial of tlie cause,
that tho property in question had been mort
gaged by the defendant in the execution to
Smith A; Hoe, on the 20th March, 1*37. to
secure an indebtedness of about #IO,OOO,
j and that it was left after the mortgage,
[in tlie possession of the mortgagee.—
Tiie Plaintiff's proved upon the trial of the
cause, that the transaction was bonufide—
that the sum of 810,000 was due them bv
the mortgagee—that the mortgage had
been regularly filed as required by the sta
tute —that it the property had been sold be
tween the time of the execution of the mort
gage and the commencement of the suit, it
would not have brought within 20 per cent
of its value ; and they assigned as a rea
son for leaving it in the possession of the
mot tgagee, that if taken by them and sold
they would have sustained great loss, where
as by leaving it in his possession, he would
be enabled by the use ©fit, eventually to
discharge their debt as well as the debts of
his other creditors.
Upon this evidence, the Court ©f Common
Pleas, nonsuited the plaintiffs on the ground I
that the mortgage was fraudulent, the pro- !
perty being left in possession of the mortga
gee, and sufficient cause in law not having
been shown for its being so left.
The counsel for the plaintiffs having
excepted to this decision, the cause was car
ried up to the Supremo Court, where after
full argument, the judgment of the Court of
Common Pleas was confirmed.
The plaintiffs then carried it to the Court i
of Errors, where it was argued principally J
oil the point that plaintiffs having produced ;
evidence to show good faith ; and the ah-j
sence of any fraudulent intent, the Judge [
erred in nonsuiting them, and should have j
left the question of fraud for the Jury tode- i
termini; ; in which Court the decision of j
tin; Supreme Court was reversed bv a vote 1
0f22 to 4.
This decision establishes in future, the
doctrine that w here the party to whom a
mortgage is given produces evidence of
good faith in the absence ofany fraudulent
intent in the transaction, the possession of
the property is immaterial, anil the question
of fraud is a question of fact, and should be
submitted for the decision of the Jury.— N.

A FALL IN THE BUSTLE-MARKET.
O, what a fall was there, my countrymen !
It was our luck, good or ill, to attend an
, auction sale, not long since, and among otli
j or articles offered, was an imm; use lot of—
I Bustles ! /—Enough to crook a whole regi
ment of those unfortunate little damsels,
who came into the crooked world with
straight spines. Dear Girls, you missed a
bargain that time: the whole lot was knock
ed down at six and a quarter cents ! ! Yes,
in this enlightened city, in this glorious
19th century, a wheel-barrow load of Bus
tles, with frills, and strings, and all things ;
accordin’, sold for (i | cents.
By the bye, it would have made old Dio
genes burst a hoop oil his tub, laughing, to
sec these hitherto mysterious and hidden
pack-saddles for beauty’s back, so irrever
ently held up to public gaze. It has.
doubtless, been a matter for very sage spec
ulation among the young beaux, who are
uninitiated into the mysteries of a modern
Belle’s toilet, how, all the present genera
tion of girls happened to be crooked. Per
haps if you could get snugly hid in the
corner of some student’s room at College,
you might hear the various opinions thut
have been mooted on this mysterious sub
ject.
“ When I was a little boy,"’ would a
somewhat oldish senior say, “ the girls that
hud straight spines, held their heads up and
walked erect as a militia corporal on Gen
eral Muster day ; and those who happened
to be a little crooked, weather-boarded
themselves up with whale-bone, and with
the aid of a straight jacket, tried hard, at
least, to seem straight; but the girls now.
a-days are all crooked ; I should not be sur
prised if it was the Rheumatism that has
seized the universal female nation, and
bent them all up double in this way. It
all comes of girls wearing thin shoes,” he
continued, clapping his foot, shod with Pen
ton’s double-soled brogans, on the table.
“Pho, nonsense, Ned,” exclaims a sleek
looking Junior, famous for pigeon wing
and physiology. “This is some of your
old-Bachelor notions. It is all owing to
the rapid advancement of Female Educa
tion. In your young days, the girls had
nothing in their heads, and it was no trou
ble to hold them up and walk straight; but
now-a days their heads are stuffed full of
Chemistry, Botany, Physiology, Geometry,
and Matrimony, and the consequence is,
that it bends their backs to carry such a
load of science.”
“In my opinion,” joined in rather a med
ical-looking Soph, “Ned is not so far
wrong, I think it is a spinal affection, bro t
on by stooping down to try and peep through
a mill-stone. Girls have a deal of curiosi
ty, I can tell you. In fact, Dr. Bolus
told me the other day that spinal affection
had increased wonderfully of late years :
; but he says a Tartar-emetic plaster applied
’ along their spines, would bring all the
..
- .
sis of the human mind, 1
‘ tiie conclusion, that this physiological pite>
noincnon has its origin in the spirit of the.
1 age. The motto of this womb rful 19th
: century, is go aiikad; the girls have im
bibed this spirit, anil l>v crooking their
1 backs they must e.r -necessitate rci. go livad
foremost, which is pretty much the same
thing as going ahead.”
What a pity that an auction sale should
have upset all those various systems ofphi
. | losophy! But so it is; the cat is out of
j the hag now, and it turns out that neither
| Rheumatism, heads full of.science, spinal
j affections, nor the spirit of the age, has
| any thing to do with crooking the girls—
-1 it till turns out to be— a Rustic.
“Do tell us. Mr. Editor,” exclaims a
i score of inquisitive young fellows, “do tell
tis what that wonderful Bustle is like!”—

at a distance, but they looked to us a good
! deal like a big Bologna Sausage, with a.
