to give tho Whigs a monopoly of that class
of traders. Under tho avowed prfitence of
abolishing tho business of brokerage, but
with ijie real object of compelling people
by law, under heavy pains and penalties,
to receive a depreciated, fluctuating cur
rency at a rate fixed by the Legislature,
they introduced, and a ma jority of the par
ty sustained, in its different stages through,
tlte House of Representatives, that memora
ble bill entitled “ on Act to define the bu
siness of brokerage, and to require brokers j
to take but license, and for other purposes.” i
The definition of brokerage contained in
tile bill included, arid was intended to in- i
elude, every human being who could by a- i
ny possibility acquire aCentral Bank note. •
They defined it to bo, among many other [
things, buying or selling bank notes, coin,
gold or silver bullion, “promissory notes,
due bills, drafts or bonds or other obliga- \
tions, to pay money of any description j
whatever.” It subjected to its grinding op- ,
pressious every description of citizen, the
capitalist, and the honest daily laborer were j
equally to be its victims. It annihilated j
the internal trade of the State, unless under |
legislative license, to be issued only upon
tho payment of heavy pecuniary exactions,
and violations of its provisions were pun
ishable by heavy fines and disgraceful and
jrrotracted penitentiary confinement. Tito
humblest laborer in the State, who toiled
honestly for his daily bread, and accepted
in payment for bis labor the note of his em
ployer, or a Central Bank bill, was by that
act to be restrained in the free disposition of
either without license from the State, and
was to be punished as a felon for exercising
the common right of a freeman. The worst
of tyrants have sometimes debased the cur
rency of their country, and inflicted punish
ment upon such of their unforfunate sub
jeetts as refused to be swindled by the ope
ration ; but the Democratic Representatives
of the people of Georgia are believed to be
first representatives of freemen who ever
attempted to imitate their example.
Their efforts to arrest the administration
‘of the laws, lost much of their force for the
want of concentration. The legislative
calender was strung with a heterogenous
collection of bills proposing stay laws, val
uation laws, laws authorising otficers to re
ceive Central Bank notes for debts, or upon
refusal of plaintiff to receive them, to sus
pend collections, and laws authorizing the
redemption of properly sold at sheriff sales.
Each of these measures strutted Its brief
hour upon the stage,” and was defeated.
After they had been severally defeated, a
committee was raised in the House of Rep
resentatives upon the subject of efficient
and practicable relief to the people. Noth
ing was expected to grow out of this move
ment; it was well understood to be intend
ed to produce a measure for consumption
in the elections this fall. The bill which
this committee reported, embraced all the
\vor§t features of its predecessors on the
same Subject, and shared their fate; and
all their promises of relief ended in that be
neficent measure of docking Justices Courts
to threo instead of twelve terms a year !
The conduct of the Democratic party upon
this question of legislative relief alone
should forfeit them the last vestige of pub
lic confidence. The special Executive
message of 1840 paved the way, and “Mc-
Donald a-tnj Relief” were the watchwords
of the party during the elections of 1841:
They carried every department of the Gu
veriwnent. The country tvas plunged in
the deepest pecuniary distress—it was the
time to test the principle. But they did not
do it. If the principle was right and prac
ticable, as they said it was, they were c in
inally indifferent to the public distn;;.; not
to put it in operation ; if it was wrong and
impracticable, as the Whigs alledgcd, they
mocked the public calamity by inducing
false hopes, destined and intended to be dis
appointed.
We urge the calm considerations of these
grave questions upon all the people of
Georgia. The democratic party are adroit
ly endeavoring to divert the public atten
tion from their own gross mismanagement
of our State Government by attempting to
raise new issues upon national politics.—
Their own political disgraces.are sought to
be swallowed up in a presidential canvass.
Let them not escape by this device, their
conduct will be the same under any politi
cal leader. Let the great political truth
be kept constantly in tho public mind that,
under our present system of government,
our social happiness and prosperity as a
people, must forever mainly depend upon
the honest and faithful administration of our
local affairs.

Whig Address.
This document fully exposes the wiles of
our adversaries iu attempting to turn the
attention of the people from the “bad admin
istration of the State government, by excit
ing a premature discussion of the merits of
the rival candidates for the Presidency.—
Nothing is heard now from the Democrats,
or read in their papers, but arguments a
gainst the tariff, a bank, &c.—of the insup
portable taxation, of the dishonor and dis
grace brought upon tlie State by their own
mismanagement they are silent. Their
address, lately promulgated, contains not a
word on State politics, though in that the
j people of Georgia are most vitally interest
ed ; .for what is it to us, whether the Na
tional government is conducted on Whig or
O O
Democratic principles, if we are oppressed
and disgraced by the government of the
State ? Let us first cast the beam out of
our own eyes ; let us first reform our State
affairs, and when the proper time comes we
shall, with a better grace undertake the
reform of the National government. The
Whig Address is properly devoted to those
affairs in which the people of Georgia are
most immediately concerned.
Truly did Calhoun once say, that the
party with which he is now linked, were
“ held together by the cohesive pronerties
of the public plunder,” and never was that
truth more forcibly exemplified tbau by
their administration in Georgia ; they found
the people of Georgia prosperous and free
from debt —they are now embarrassed and
their credit is dishonored ; they found the
Treasury full to overflowing—it is now
bankrupt; they found the people untaxed—
they are now overloaded, in consequence
of Democratic wastefulness. Let the peo
ple look to these things, and beware of the
cunning ot set of nten who profess one set
■ of principles and practice another, and who
would blind their eyes to the incapacity
and corruption of their rulers. In the
words of the experienced Editor of the Con
stitutionalist :
“ How has the de afio party carried
out its own principi V ‘ at benefits have
resulted from tile m a ores adopted in ac
cordance with those principles ? Has not
Georgia been paralyzed in her resources,
depressed in her financial means and blas
ted in her credit ? Why has it. been so,
when it could have been otherwise ? It
would have been otherwise if democratic
principles had been strictly adhered to. Is
it democratic principles which led a major
ity of the legislature to consume a large
portion of every session, in scuffling for the
election of men to office ? Is it democratic
principles which prompted the rejection of
wholesome measures, for the maintenance
of public credit, the improvement of inter
nal resources, the relief of the citizens in
their depression and embarrassments, and
the establishment ot a sound currency ; and
the adoption of measures which originated
in ignorance, in personal interest, in ambi
-1 tkius aspirations, and in a total disregard
of the honor, reputation, and future welfare
of the State ? We do not believe that dern
i ocratio principles could have suggested
such measures, so detrimental to the'repu
tation of the democratic party, and so well
calculated to lessen it in tho estimation of
t all good citizens. But, we may be asked,
i if democratic principles are good, and can
• lead the community yiat profess them to
l prosperity and freedom ; why have meas
• ures so injurious been adopted, and meas
• ures so appropriate to tlte times been rejec
ted, by men who profess those principles?
s Because, we would reply, those citizens
t who bad the choice of representatives, did
t not follow the maxim, “principles and men.”

Justice* s CJourts.
The Act of the last Legislature, chang
ing the time of holding Justices Courts from
once a month to orico it! every four months,
merits marked disapprobation fir,in tho
community. In place of operating as a
measure of relief, which it was intended
for, it has been found oppressive, as almost
totally preventing the collection of small
deLti, infringing the rights of creditors, not
benefiting debtors, ” throw ing much of the
business formerly done by Magistrates into
the higher Courts, thereby increasing cost
and litigation. In fine, it has operated to
the almost complete destruction of Justices’
Courts ; for the custom formerly prevalent
of dividing large debts so as to bring them
into a Magistrate’s jurisdiction is now done
away, and many creditors think it better to
lose small debts than have to wait nearly a
year for their money with the chances a
gainst its recovery increased by tile increas
ed length of suit.
We have heard that it is asserted that
this law was not a party measure, and even
that it was passed by the Whigs ! We have
examined the Journals to ascertain this
point and have found that it was enacted
by a vote more nearly partizan in its char
acter than such laws are generally passed
by. On the final passage of the bill, the
vote stood Yeas 71 to Nays 55, of the 71
yeas 10 only were Whig, but of those who
voted against the bill 40 were Whigs !
llow then can anyone have the impudence
to say that it was passed by Whig votes,
by a Legislature too in which the Democ
racy had a large majority ! A reference
to the Journals will effectually put down
the falsehood. It was introduced by a De
mocrat, advocated by democrats, strongly
opposed by the Whigs, and finally passed
almost entirely by Democratic votes!—
That party had made electioneering promi
ses which they not only never intended, but
which they knew they were utterly unable
to'fulfill, and this mistaken measure was
meant tomianifest that they still had an a
miable desire for the welfare of the dear
people. Let them h4ve all the credit which
is due for so notable a fulfillment of their
promises.
Packing’ Cotton.
As tlie price ofCotton is so low at present
as scarcely to pay for making it, and as
there is so little prospect of its imptove
ment, it is for the interest of the Planters to
enhance its value by every means in their
power. The iniTTOsed price for which
carefully prepared Cotton will sell, will j
more than compensate for any additional i
trouble in its preparation, it is desirable
therefore that great attention should be paid
to cleanliness in the picking, to keeping the
different pickings seperate, to the ginning
and the packing, points in which fanners
are too indifferent, but yet matters of much
importance when the market is, as it is
likely to be for some time, greatly over
stocked.
We have frequently, in former years,
called the attention of Planters to the expe
diency of the universal adoption of square
bales for packing Cotton, but we are sorry
to see that many still adltere to the old
fashioned and clumsy round bale, notwith
standing it has long been their interest
that their Cotton should go to market in its
most merchantable form, in order that any
thing like a remuneration might be obtain
ed for if. It has been repeated over and o
ver again that Cotton in square bales brings
from one-eighth to one-quarter of a cent
more titan in round, fTiat the saving of la
bor in packing will more than pay for the
necessary machinery, that the facilities of
false-packing are diminished, that the
freight, insurance and dangers of transpor
tation are less, that square bales are more
in demand and arrive in better condition in
market, and that besides the saving in la
bor there is also a great saving in bagging,
&c., so that the total difference in favor of
the square form has been estimated (and at
a very moderate calculation) to be equal to
$1 25 cts. per bale, a very considerable
gain in these times. Is it -not astonishing
then, that farmers will not adopt the mer
chantable, compact and neat square, in
stead of the unwieldy and unsightly round
bale, which looks like nothing else in na
ture but an enormous sausage.
We wish also to recommend to the use of
Planters the Cotton instead of the Hemp
Bagging—besides the consideration that its
use increases the consuinption, and there
fore the demand and price for our staple,
and also tends to the encouragement of our
own manufactories—it possesses other ad
vantages over the Hemp Bagging, being not
so liable to rot or to tear, and is, we believe,
somewhat cheaper. It is said to be
“ stretchy” to be sure, but that can be oh
viated in square bales Ly’ the use of Hemp
Rope. Farmers, give it ft trial.
A cotton TREii, for we can call it no oth
er name, measuring over 10 feet in length
strongly branched and thickly boiled, has
been sent us by Mrs. Ann E. Shepherd, of
Stewart county, from whose fields it was
taken. The growth of the weed is general
ly large enough, but, front all information,
the prod'. l - 1 ’ cannot be great. The rains
have been so heavy as to materially injure
the prospects of the crop.
We hear nothing of largo ears of corn,
or heavy bushels of wheat. Are these of no
consequence ? The price of cotton at pre
sent or in prospect will scarcely justify a
farmer in raising it, yet ho continues to
plant it, wear out his hands, and exhaust
his land. Would it not be better to turn
some of the labor of the country to the more
successful culture of corn, wheat, and oth
er grain, to the improvement and growth of
stock, &c. We are done with cotton stalks.
If any one wishes to see a brag done up in
the most improved and fashionable style,
let him make a showing of either corn or
wheat that can stand the racket, and our
word for it the blarney comes. The ban
ter on tall grass has not yet been taken up;
the list will remain open until the first
Monday in October.— Columbus Enquirer

Indiana. —The Cincinnati Gazette says :
The Election in Indiana, after all, turns out
better than we anticipated a day or two
since. Although the Whigs have lost their
Governor by one or two thousand votes,
there is a fair prospect that they will have
a majority on joint ballot, and probably in
both branches of the Legislature.
The Indiana State Journal gives a table,
from which it is thought the Senate will
stand 25 Whig, 23 Democratic, and 2 doubt
ful ; the House, 40 Whig, 34 Democratic,
and 1 doubtful. Last year, by the treach
ery of a Whig Senator, the Democrats had
a majority of one, and elected their U. S.
Senator.
P. S.—The Sentinel (L. P.) received
last night claims 8 of the 10 Congressmen,
25 Senators, (a tie) and a majority in the
House.
The Cleveland Herald states that Mr.
Kelso, by whose vote a Locofoeo U.S. Sen
ator was elected in Indiana last winter, has
been beaten for the State Senate, by one
vote in Switzerland county. The Herald
says “ We hope the official canvass will
keep hitn out, but we fear otherwise.”

THE RESULT.
The Whigs have lost a majority of the
Congressional districts, in consequence of
the artful and unfair manner in which the
State was Gerry-mandered by the Terrapin
Legislature, but they have a decided nta- I
jority of the popular votes ; and by proper
er exertions, will, we doubt not, be able to
give Mr. Clay a triumphant majority in
1844.
North Carolina is Whig to the core ; she
was Whig in the revolution; she is whig
now ; and her sister States may depend
upon it she will be Whig in every contest
of popular rights against arbitrary power.
She glories in that “honest and patriotic
name.” Raleigh [A 7 . C.] Star.
Democratic Promises and Whig Promi
ses.—The Democracy came into power in
1828, with the promise of retrenchment in
Government expenditures, which under Mr.
Adams amounted to an average of about
Twelve Millions of Dollars per annum.—
These expenses increased until under the
four years of Mr. Van Buren’s Administra
tion, the average annual expenditure was
Thirty-three Millions, Three Hundred and
Thirty-six Thousand Dollars.—[See Pub.
Doc. No. 265, 249, 464 and 465. J But for
the vast resources at their command, that
Administration would have saddled the
country with a debt of Sixty-four Millions
of Dollars. This would have occurred if
they had found in 1836 a “bankrupt trea
sury,” as the Whigs did in 1840.
The Whigs came into power with the
same promises of Retrenchment. They
have reduced those Government expendi
tures to less titan Seventeen Millionsof Dol
lars a year, or just about one half of the a
verage of Mr. Van Buren’s four years, not
withstanding the open opposition of Mr.
Tyler, and his resistance to inquiry into the
New-York Custom-House and other abu
ses. This is the work of men, whom, as
has been well observed, “ treason and de
sertion could not dishearten, denunciation
paralyze, nor corruption pollute.”

The first Bank in America. —lt has been
the general opinion that the first hank in A
merica was the Bank of North America,
established in Philadelphia. The Cincin
nati Chronicle, whose editor has been dip
ping into the antiquities of the countiy,
says that seventy years before the Bank of
North America, the Legislature of South
Carolina established a Public Bank, and
issued forty-eight thousand pounds in bills
of trust. These bills were called bunk
bills, aud the establishment was called a
Public Bank. These were lent out at in
terest, or loaned on personal security.

DISCUSSION.
We had the pleasure to be present a: a
political discussion u few days since, in
Cassville, maintained by Mr. Stephens on
the part of tho Whigs, and by Win. H.
Stiles, Esq. one of our elected representa
tives iu Congress, on the part of the Demo
crats. Tho very large auditory conducted
themsolvcs with grout propriety, and listen
ed with respectful attention to the addr .-.s
es of the speakers, which were'alternate
and ot an (tour’s length. To say that Mr.
Stephens equalled upon This occasion the
high expectations of his friends, would be
but faint praise of his effort. His reputa
tion as an orator had preceded him, and
barely to have sustained it, would have evi
deneed no ill success, but if our judgment
does not mislead us, and if we do not misin
terpret the plainest indications of public
sentiment, ho has made no trifling addition
to it, and has gained a rich harvest of golden
opinions, which will tell in his favor on the
first Monday in October. His advocacy of
the measures of the Whigs, was most able
and satisfactory, and his refutation of the
calumnies of their opponents, most trium
phant. Os the effort of Mr. Stiles, we do
not desire to speak. De mortuum nil nisi
bontlm. lie must have been betrayed
by flattery to engage in this contest, that his
declining fame might he at once extinguish
ed. But while we will not trust out im
partiality to criticise the Honorable gentle
man’s speech, we must embrace the occa
sion to signify our entire assent to one of his
positions, viz.: “ that from a very early pe
riod, there has been a principle of good and
a principle of evil in tho world,” &o. We
have heard the same idea in the same words
lans syne and upon various occasions, and
as we do not intend ever to controvert it,
we now once for all concede the point, and
express the hope that our frank concession
will free us from the eternal iteration and
reiteration of the same exordium and pero
ration.
Mr. Stevens will address the citizens of j
Floyd county to-day, and we hope, ill our
next, to be able to give our readers a better
account of the matter and manner of his
Speech, than our time allows us to do upon
this occasion. We look upon his visit to
this section of the State, not only as favora
ble to the advancement ofhis own interest,
but us being iu the highest degree condu
cive to the success of the Whig party.
PRESIDENTIAL PURSUITS.
There is something in the chase by a
weak man, of a dignity like that oft he pre
sidency, which irresistibly reminds flirt; of
that ancient amusement among the kittens;
the trying to overtake their own tail. The
little creature spins around forever in the
same place, each moment persuaded that it j
is on the point of grasping its object, while
every effort it makes serves only to whisk j
what it runs after farther out of its reach.
Such is pretty much tho grave piece of fol
ly upon which the country has been con
demned to look, ever since our present sa
gacious ruler caught a sight ofhis own tail,
and took it for the Presidency, which was
foliowing him about.
There is, however, another spectacle. 1
frequent enough in windy times, which af- :
fords a still better image of a chase after a
great popular dignity—we mean that spec
tacle so diverting to every body but the
principle actor in it, of a man chasing a
fugitive hat of straw or palm-le&f, which
some frolic breeze has snatched from his
head, and carries, in wild and wavering
whirls, along a well-freqliented street. On
strips the truant beaver before him, rejoi
cing in appearance at his uncommiserated
mishap, and his hair, that
“Streams like a meteor to tiie troubled- air,”
Perhaps he is slow of foot, or short of wind, j
in spite of the abundance of it around hitn. !
They gaze after him, too ; the glee with ,
which passers by (each holding his own
head piece fast on with one hand) consider
the involuntary exercise lie is undergoing ;
the bets he may overhear as to tlte event ol
the race (some backing the hat anil some
himself-—but a straw-hat decidedly the fa
vorite) —all are circumstances eminently
fit to shake his composure, in the midst of
an effort demanding tho I’ullest possession
of all his faculties. For consumate cool
ness, and a wonderful degree of judgement
are requisite in catching a hat of the Pre
sidency. In a chase of such uncertain e
vent, it won’t do to put forth all one’s speed
at once—besides that, perhaps, this sort of
race is oftener lost by running too fast than
too slow ; moreover one may trample the
crown out, in catching it. That seems to
be the danger in Mr. Calhoun's case; he
has already more than crnce nearly demol
ished his castor, without catching it. Old
Tom Benton, being somewhat pursey, takes
it coolly and goes for walking after it ’till
the wind stops blowing. Jimmy Buchan
an’s case being still more desperate as to
running fast or far, he looks aslant after it,
and with a winning Smile, solicts the popu
lar gale to waft it hack to him, with all the
hopes of a sailor whistling for the wind.—
Little Matty, though a good deal too short
in the legs, and lately “let down” (as the
racers say) in another heat, places his
hopes in hedging and jockeysbip.
The best way, however, for him who runs
either for his hat or the chief magistracy, is
just to keep close upon it for some time. —
Don’t break your neck after it, like Mr. Cal
houn ; nor let it he quite blown out of sight,
as Messrs. Benton and Buchanan do. Still
less go to snatching at it, at ev ;y step, like
glorious John, ducking and diving after it,
when you are not within a mile of it. Be
steady, and yet be swift. Try, too, to look
particularly disengaged all the time, as if
you were only going about your business
Be. quick, hut cautious ; and watch ye
opportunity—for all depends on that. Rutr
on, if possible,’till you get some distance
ahead of it; then—if no cross-wind comes
] to snatch it from your grasp—stand still,
i turn routjd, and folks will see it coming to
you, instead of you after it. Still, when
the decisive moment comes, don’t be too
I sure ; don’t fling yourself flat upon it, as if
j certain of it; rto, nor set down right on the
! end, as if had only to let it run into your
| arms ; hut rather sqiJat itfwfi your arms,
j so that you shall In able to shilt your posi
tion in sani> innocent degree; and then, with
j a: ms spread as skilfully as the wings of a
j partridge-net, wait for it to cbttie. Now,
| when you have it as good as bugged, (and
| not’till now,) make ft rapid drive, and as
j you duck, seize it by-the crown. Having
now taken it with the sure hnif-4vrit and
I your thumb and fore fingers, lift it high in
i the nil, wave it thrice about your victorious
head ; salute with extended arm the admir
ing beholders ; stick it ou your noddle as if
it grew there j smile pleasantly, as yoQ
and your hat understood each other perfect
ly, and had equally enjoyed the sport; and
walk off about yctur busines, as it nothing
at all had happened, just as one “Harry
CJay” will do, not very long hence.

HAMBURG, (S.C.) Juiy, 1843.
I BEG leave to inform you, that I continue the
WARE-HOUSE AND COMMISSION
BUSINESS at my old stand, known as the Wa
ter-pronf Warehouse. Detached as it is from oth
er buildings, its location renders it nearly as se
cure from fire, as if it was fire-proof The floors
have boon elevated above the high water mark
of the great freshet of May, 1840.
Planters will thus be secured from the possi
bility of loss and damage by freshets.
1 avail myself of the present occasion, to re
turn my thanks to my friends and patrons, for
their liberal support during the past season. I
j solicit from them and the public generally, a con-
I tinuance of this confidence, and assure them that
j in return for their patronage, 1 will use my lest
personal efforts to promote and protect their in
; iercsts, committed to my charge. In addition to
this assurance, I pledge myself that I will in no
case purchase a uaie of cotton, directly or indi
rect iy. 1 will attend personally to the sale and
forwarding of cotton to Savannah or Charleston;
also, to the sale of Bacon, Flour, &c. &c., and to
the receiving and forwarding of goods to the up
country. Having a fine wharf attached to my
Warehouse, no wharfage will be charged on
Cotton consigned to my care, either for sale or
I to he forwarded to Savannah or Charleston.
My commissions for selling cotton, will be 25
cents per bale, and 121 cents for forwarding. I
will also attend” to the buying of goods per order.
Very respectfully, vours, &c.
O. WALKER.
