We subjoin an article from tlic Charleston
Patriot, to which we call the attention of the
cotton planters of our state. We are glad
to perceive that the course recommended to he
pursued by the planters, corresponds with the
suggestion we made a few weeks ago in an
article on the condition of our currency. Il
there he no amelioration in our currency be
fore the opening of the next business season,
the cotton planters, if they are fi ni and act
in concert, wi I have it in tier power to give
confidence to a sound bank curret ev, by com
polling the withdiawal from circulation of all
hank paper which cannot lx; sitsiaincd by a
specie bass, and by a prudent and judicious
management of the hanks that Lsue such a
paper. It would he well for the planters to
take now the subject into consideration, in or
tier to act, when the time arrives for carrying
into effect their plan of operation*
Fr >m the Charles <>n Patriot.
The pru tence with which the hanks in this
city have been con-ducted, and the consequent
soundness of our circulating medium will ope
rate greatly in favor of tlie interests of our city
at the appro ir hi tig season •>f business. Cnarles
t jii in Us adherence to specie pn’ii'C Us, will
stand to tfie rest of the South in liie relation
home by New York to the Mid I ►- States. -
Those who hpve p oduca to sell wifi order it
to be sold where they can exchange it for a
go > i circulating medium, instead of disposing
of it in the interior towns for a depreciated
currency. In Georgia commerce has almost
reached a state of baiter,. I’hep-odticerdues
not know in wuat m nle toeff c an exchange
of the product of his industry fir (heir equiv
alents. The merchant is at a loss to discov
er how his sales are to he cfi.cted in a cur
rency of uncertain value, varying in-depreci
ation from 10 to dO per cent.
The corrective Ihr this evil must b 1 sought
in the sound portion of tli"sc eomruunit.es
which are cursed with the evils* l ! irredeema
ble piper money. The local Legislature can
affird no relief. A large number ot the Slates
themselves are mixed up with the banking in
stitutions, either as borrowers from them or
owners of hanks. As several of the Slates
will not or cannot cut themselves i >ose from
the banks, who continue a s.ckly existence,
with the vain hope of recovering a healthy
condition, no other remedy remains hut the
producer refusing to sell for any other than
ilia notes of specie paying hanks. In Gio -
gia the great mass ol the planted cannot be so
cntmgled in the tnesshes ot debt, as to have
placed themselves bepund this mode of relief
iroin the incubus of an irredeemable currency.
Combinations are generally to be avoided in
all matters of trade. But a union of influen
tial and independent vvoikersot the soul, to
threw otftliH tax on their m lustr.', in the shape
of depreciated paper money, by refusing to
receive fur their produce that winch is not its
equivalent in intrinsic value, most, we think,
lx; attended with success. In short it is the
only mode of relief left to the people, unless it
is sought in the action of the National Legis
lature.--Augusta Const i.utionn list.

TIIF. DRAPE its AND MR. WEBSTER.
The appointment of one of the Drapers at
Paris as Consul, at the instance of his broth
er, the pipelayer, against the understanding of
I lie late I’res.dent, is now pretty well explain
ed. It struck all with amazement, that the
pretensions of such men as (icn. Fenwick,
Air. Walsh, and Air. Brent, and General Har
rison’s resolution to boot, should all be made
togivc way to Mr. Webster’s predilection for
the Drapers. The facts given in the money
article of the New York Evening Post, is full
of explanation on this subject. Jt appears that
tiie Drapers helped Mr. Webster to a consid
erable share of the outfit which enabled hi in
to pay his respects in person to the money
power in London, and tins resist, and its avails
contributed not a little to help Mr. Webster
to tbe station lie occupies. How, then, could
lie hesitate to pay oil” with on office those who
pr ivided him the means of commanding it!
From ihe Now York Evening Host.
l't. Bsmv Mor, msg. May 4.
Th'rc lias been some talk in tbe money
in irket about a claim against Daniel Webster,
the Secretary of State, which belongs to eer
t tin Loudon Bankers, who have sent it out
Imre t<> be collected or sold. The circum
stances under which this claim occurred are
curious enough.
The house in which Lorenzo Draper, just
appointed American Consul at Paris, and Sim
eon Draper, of this city, a famous politician,
were partners, failed in 1837—and a bad fail
ure they made of it, paying but a small per
centage —to make a final settlement with their
creditors, they recently assigned their effects.
But before tins assignment was made, Simeon I
Draper, on theßthof June, 1830, lent Daniel
\v eiister, then about to sail for F.urope, SSOO, j
and on tbe 13th of June SI,OOO, money which
ought to have been paid to tbeir creditors.
Tbe claim for tl -ese sums was included in the
assignment of the Drapers to their creditors,
and is now sent out to tiiis city to be collected,
or otherwise negotiated. The transaction is
grossly improper throughout; the lending of
the money in the first place, and then the act
of the grateful borrower, in appointing one of
tlie creditors to an important effic-e. lie tight,
in decency, first to have repaid the money,
and acquitted himself of any pecuniary obli
gation.
We publish on our ticsi page l lie sixth let
ter of Mr. Biddle. He attempts to explain
the disbursement of $(318,000, lor which the
investigating committee could not obtain any
satisfactory information front neither Mr. Bi l
dle nor Mr. Cowperthwaite. Does Mr. Bid
dle succeed in his attempt? Certainly not. —
Until he gives satisfactory information, how
ami for what put pose was the money expen
ded, and iubt and suspicion wit! still be entertain
ed in regard to the appropriation of this large
amount of money. About this sixth letur the
l’emtsylvani m remarks:
“Mr. Piddle says that, that dividend com
mittee probably saw the vouchers, as he calls
them, that is, bis receipts for the money.—
‘They may have done so, or they may not.—
Whether they did or not, is immaterial, as it
shows nothing as to the q test ion-- where did
the money go, and what did the bank get lor
it? Suppose they saw the memorandums, and
chose to be satisfied, without explanation
Does that prove that a committee of the stock
holders, when investigating the conduct both
of Mr. Biddle ami the other directors, ought
to be satisfied, without any explanation, nth
er than Nicholas Biddle’s rece-ptr Again,
suppose Mr. Bt Idle d.dgive a sadsUctorv ex
planation, in 1 S.SG, to a committee of the di.
rectors, which does not appear —coutd he not
give the same satisfactory explanation in IS 11.
to a committee o! the stockholders.’’ What
became of the money, Mr. Biddle? Ti was
paid on your receipts. Did you expend it fur
■your own purposes; or did you pay it to some
one else; and if so, to whom and for what
did you pay it? These are the questions to
which the stockholders and the public will hold
you. They will not let you escape from them
under the smoke ot a shot made at toe chair
man of the committee.”’ —Augusta Constitu

Ws learn by a passenger who came in on
t’-e Central Rail Road yesterday, that Gen.
Ree l was lately killed by Mr. Allston,* at or
near Tallahassee. The report, which seems
to he correct, though ve do not vouch for the
truth of it, states that the General was riding
or walking out. with a friend, when Mr. Allston
st epped forth from a place of concealment, and
di-Thar red tho two barrels of his gun at him.
The first barrel took partial effect, causing
b in to turn round—the contents of tho sec
ond were received into his hack, killing him
instantly. This is the same Allston who at
tempted to take life of Gen. Reed at the City
Hotel, Tallahassee, in December, 1839, He
is in custody.—Savannah Republican, 6th inst.

Legislature of Virginia before the Revolution,
and during it with Dr. Franklin in Congress.
! never heard either of them speak ten minutes
at a time, nor to any but tiie mainpoint which
was to decide tin-* question. They laid their
shoulders to the great points, knowing that
tlie little ones would follow of themselves,—
li the present Congresserrs in too much talk
ing, how can it. beotherwise in a body to which
the people send men who question every thing,
yield nothing, and talk by the hour.”
‘i he friends of Gen. Glasscock, were thrown
into a painful state of anxiety yesterday on the
receipt of intelligence, that lie had been
thrown lYom his horse near Decatur, in De

was despaired of. We learn that in the fall
one of his feet was confined in the stirrup, by
which he was dragged a considerable distance.
—Augusta Chronicle, sth inst.
A Development. —The London correspon
dent of the Ne.v York Courier & Enquirer
gives the following significant hint of what
tfie foreign stockholders of the States expect
from the new Administration :
“Tiie specific allusion of Gen. Harrison in
his proclamation to the financiers of the coun
try, has been viewed as leading to the proba
bility of some extensive project lor the resto
ration of individual credit and that of the
country; and the opinion rapidly gains ground
that the present government will reverse the
policy of its predecessors—that either an ap
portionment of the proceeds of the sales of the
public lands tiny be expected to be made,or a
CONSOLIDATION OF TIIE DEBTS OF THE STATES
lie arranged, in order that the country may
have those now evidently much neglected ad
vantages of the superior credit in Europe, of
the General Government of the United States.
In consequence of these opinions, and as all
prospects of war is supposed to be nearly now
amongst the things that were, there is a great
increase of inquiry into the merits of the re
spective American Stocks, and the market
becomes more capable of making transactions
from day to day.”
It will be recollected with what virtuous in
dignation all sorts of Whigs last summer ridi
culed, as preposterous, the charge of desiring
to consolidate the debts of the States. Here
is the plan specifically proposed—here is the
evidence that stocks are rising on the expec
tation that it will he adopted.
What the plan is,, nmy be stated in a para
graph. Jt is simply that the Federal Govern
ment shall issue bonds for the $300,0(H),000
owed by the States—that those bonds shall be
given to the States and by them transferred to
the foreign stockholders—thus raising them
to a par value, and putting into the pockets of
foreigners about 50,000,000 of dollars. The
States are at once to relinquish their liabilities,
and the burdens assumed by the General Gov
ernment is to be made the plea for a great
National Battik and a huge protective tariff’,
overshadowing and blighting the South. How
unequally such a tax will operate on those
States comparatively free from debt, will be
plain to every reader. But the main evil is
not here—it is the inevitable tendency the
measure will have to destroy State Rights—to
exalt the General Government above that of
the States, and to cause the consolidation of
twenty-six republics into one splendid and
tyrannous oligarchy.
No wonder that, in view of this bait of 50,-
000,000, tlie English papers have softened in
their warlike tone, and deprecate the interrup
tion of peace between the two countries. For
our own part, we would rather see a ten years’
war, accompanied as it would be by all its
customary horrors and misery,-than the con
summation of such a measure. For the or.e,
time would bring its alleviation. The other
would he a lasting tyranny, from which nothing
short of anew revolution and civil war could
deliver us.—Mobile Register.
Mr. Biddle’s fifth letter has appeared, and
still no explanation of the missing ‘.<000,000.
This letter is entirely taken up with the de
fence of Mr. Jaudon, in which every item of
ilie account of that gentleman with the Bank,
as set forth by the investigating committee is”
admitted, ar.d the whole satisfactorily explain
ed by the assumption that tho’bank was one
party, and its officers and agents another. It
is admitted that Mr. Jaudon, the Cashier of
the bank, was its debtor to the amount of
S-U'i-vltsO —but than it is argued that he paid
off tins debt, within *3117,000 and means to
yay the rest. It is admitted that these pay
ments have been made Ist, by 830,500 of
stocks, (Mississippi perhaps,) and 2.1, by ser
vices of agent to the amount of $333,000—
borrowing enough in the mean time, to make
the difference—but then it is urged that the
Bank made the bargains with him, and besides
that, be took no greater commissions than any I
English house would have done. It is further!
urged that Mr Jaudon had labored in the cause!
of the Bank, and it specially moves Mr. Bid
dle's indignation “to see such a man de
nounced ami villified by those professing to
represent the institution lie had served and
saved"!! Bather a queer kind of salvation
this ! Mr. Biddle uses very hard words in bis
letter-soinetimes without sufficient pertinence
—though he lias cause enough to be out of
temper. We do not understand the commit
tee to charge any crime on Mr. Jaudon, but
onlv to complain very naturally that the offi
cers of the bank had done a very thrifty busi
ness with its funds, vvhi e the bank itself wa*
going to the dogs—that they never considered
Tt any thing less than a machine with which
thet were to advance their private interests.—

Credit Stste mkunxing away. — The pub
lic have hadnumbcrless examples of admirable
financiering htely. The little glimpses which
the report of tbe Committe oi Stockholders
of the United Stages Bank at Philadelphia has
given, shows us what adepts the official corps
of that Lank have been for several years back.
It is now perfectly evident, that the thirty-sev
en millions capital has been entirely distribu
ted among leading members of Congress—
leading presses —leading pipe layers, and the
great financiers of the bank. This financiering
so potent in carrying off banks, spread like the
cholera, leaping from bank to bank, ami city
to city, without leaving a trace to delect tire
route oi the latent contagion. The Schuylkill
bank—some of the New York banks—the
bank at Richmond, Virginia—divers banks in
the West—all the Mississippi banks j indeed
ill the banks every where—have had premo
nition- of this cholera looseness, which threat
ens the death of the system. But at this par
ticular juncture the disorder lias put on anew
type. It is the running away symptom ; and
indeed, we should not be at all surprised, from
the signs oi the t.mes, if the w hole credit sys
tem should take to its heels. The success
and impunity, and respectability, which attends
this v"ir mode ol running off - with the effects
of tiie producing classes, deposited in banks,
is a great encouragement to the repeal of the
law making a National Treasury, and the sur
render of the public money to the custody of
the financiers.
We copy this morning from the New Or
leans Picayune, an account ot a stupendous
system of swindling, by which the banks have
been defrauded to a very large amount. The
Orescent City also contains accounts of other
bank frauds in that city, in which the and scount
clerk of the bank of Louisiana, and the re
ceiving teller ot the bank of Louisiana, are
involved. Both have absconded. The teller’s
name is Daunois, and tbe discount clerk’s Coil
son. The amount abstracted by over-drafts
and embezzlement, is variously stated at from
$ 1(M),005 to $150,000.
Accomplished (Swindling—a large bu
siness on a small CAPITAL. —One of the most
extraordinary cases of swindling, as ingenious
and daring as extraordinary, which has been
tor some time developing itself, is now creating
great excitement in this community. The ex
ploits of Stith, Hines, and King, are complete
ly eclipsed, and the climax of rascality has
been attained in the present instance, the par
ticlars of which we give, as follows :
Two men, calling themselves Chambers and
Mackey, were some months ago residing in
this city. They had originally a capital of
about SI,OOO, out of which they have’ man
aged to raise something more than SIOO,OOO,
by means of swindling! One is said to be a
native of New York, and the other a Scotch
man. Chambers appears to have been “head
deviland his cunning, cool impudence, and
knowledge of finances combined, stand- un
precedented in the annals of crime. lie was
once arrested in Baltimore on behalf of the
Charleston banks for frauds committed on
them, and sent to the penitentiary, where he
served out his time.
While here, Mackey kept an account with
the City and Commercial Banks, depositing
and drawing small sums frequently, and on
one occasion he overdrew at the City Bank for
S4OOO. After this, he kept out of the way for
several days, but he was finally arrested,
when he said it was an unintentional mistake,
refunded the money, and had the matter
hushed. From Mobile, lie corresponded with
Mr. Hall, Cashier of the Commercial Bank,
on the subjects of the finances, exchanges, &c.
From this bank he obtained two certificates of
deposite- one for S6O, the other for SI,OOO in
specie. The S6O he raised to SI,OOO which
wis presented by a man in company with
Mackey. The paying teller refused to pay it,
saying it was not in the handwriting of the re
ceiving teller, who, on being called, at first
said it was not in his writing. Mackey, laugh
ing said to him, “ what, deny yoer own hand
writing ! Don’t you remember having given
me that certificate the day of its date 1 Re
fer to your books.” This was done, and the
date, number and amount of the certificate
were found to agree. The money was paid
and nothing more then thought about it. The
genuine certificate for 1,066 was retained by
the villain, and is supposed to have been al
tered to a much larger amount and sold.
Alackey afterwards got several other cer
tificates from the same bank on special de
posite, which have all been altered, and the
Counter is already advised of seven which
were never negotiated by the bank. One for
13,666 was sold at Louisville, one for 13,606
at Cincinnati, and one at i hiladelphia for 21,-
600, and one at New York for 23,000, besides
others not recollected. Mobile Commercial
Register.
The mail from New York on Saturday last
brought to the address of a commercial house
in this city a certificate of deposite, purporting
to be No. 422, for $23,000 specie in the Com
mercial Bank, which had been altered, prob
ably, from $123, and sold to a broker in New
York. This is the last which lias been discov
ered, but it is probable many more will yet
come to hand.
Pursuit has been made after tiie swindlers
from Louisville, Cincinnati, Mobile and this
city. A young Scotchman, who can identify
them was despatched from Ohs city a week
since for Canada, where it is thought they in
tend to go. N. O. Picayune.

Blessings of a Public Debt.— Bulwer, in
his work entitled “England and the English,”
when speakihg of the condition and move
ments of the operatives and the progress of
“demoeraiic opinion,” makes the following
declaration:
“By ii disputable calculation, it can be
showed that every working man is now taxed
to an amount of one-third <>J his u-eekhj wages;
supposing the operative to obtain twelve shil
lings a week, lie is taxed, therefore, to the
amount of four shillings a week; at the end
of six years he will, therefore, have contributed
to the revenue, from his poor earnings, the al
most increditable sum of XG2 Bs.”
The navy, the army, and the fund holders
. of England, are all sustained by the revenues
| derived from this system of oppressive taxa
j tion. The national debt, which is so burthen
| some to the laboring portion of the community,
! is tin bond of union between the classes re
ferred to. If the people refuse to pay the
taxes, the army and navy are appealed to, and
one-third of the earning of the laborer are
wrested from him at the point of the bayonet.
All efforts to better the condition of the labor
ing classes by a diminution of taxes, are put
down by the strong arm of power, because
these oppressive exactions are necessary to
pay the army, to support the navy, and to pay
the interest on the stock held by the fund
holders. To the aristocracy of England, the
national debt is a blessing—but to the people
at large, it is an unmitigated curse.
Shall we take warning by the example of
England, and protect the tax-payers from the
oppressions which are carrying desolation to
every home and to every hearth of the labor
ing population of that country ! If so, let us
abstain from borrowing and creating a debt
beyond - our resources.
fn contemplating the condition of the labor
ing classes in England as described by Bulwer,
how impressive is the language of the great
apostle of democratic liberty, Mr. Jefferson,
where be says—“ If we would preserve our
Independence, we must not let our rulers load
us with perpetual debt. We must make our
election between Economy and Liberty , or
profusion and servitude .”
Already many of our sister States are reap
ing the bitter fruits of a coarse of profusion,
Shall New York follow in their footsteps, or
seek “the greatest good of the greatest num
ber,” by a course of frugality and economy"!

PROSPECTUS.
THE publishers of the Giobe have recently given
to the country an exposition of the inoiives
which prompted the attempt by the Federal parly to
prostrate’ their establishment, by the lawless abroga
tion of their contract as Printers 10 the Senate. They
sli oved that there were already six F deral newspa
| P ers —” inch a seventh is about to be added—pub
lished \\ ashing on—ill devoted to the dissewina-
J tlon °* e derai principles, and the defence of Federal
j measures. And to make tins overwhelming batter.
■1 t ederai nrsssea at the seal of Government tell with
tile more effect throughout the Union, the character of
the Globe was to be tarnished, its means uupover
! ls hed, and its political influence destroyed, by a sweep
‘ ,n - denunciation o! infamy on the pari of tile Federal
leaders in the Senate—by throwing the dead weight
;of an expenditure <>l $4:) OX) m preparation to do the
I Congressional ivoi-k, on the hands of its publishers,
j P^ ie pmiters whose contract was violated ) and hv
i having l,i > s “ hole work of defamation ad rum ac
j complished bv the judgment of the Senate of the Un
ion togi.e i; the sanctum of the highest tribunal known
| to our coun'ry. The work was done hv a caucus
i packed majority off euerr.lisf s. and the Editors of the
(Globe are left to sustain their establislimtnt by the
patronage they may receive from political friends tor
I , - le Papers they publish. We ni l no- ask or receive
| tne sort of lumping contributions by which the banks
and federal politicians sustain their presses. We
” id abandon die publication of the Giobe, if u cannot
be supported by the regular subscription price of the
paper, fl uch ot our Democratic iriends whoso cir
j cumstances do not justify a subscription to the daily or
scini-.veeklv paper, will patronize'he cheaper publica
j tions issued by us—the Extra Globe—the Congres-
I s,:>! ' a ! an 1 the Appendix— >e sha 1 be cnabli and
! to maintain, a; heretofore, our corps of Congressional
I Reporters at the cost of $3,000 per annum, and to I
diaw to our aid some of the ablest pins in our country. I
I” e lr,,st un d ‘ tltese circumstances, and at a time |
| “i |C n the greatest interests of the country, and tW in- ;
i ture desti 'V, are put at slake upon the events with
wutch the first ye rof tlie present Administration is
; pregnant, that no individual who has the cause of Dem- |
i ocracy at heart, will hesitate tomeot this appeai, when
j at the seme time he will feel assured that this tiitiinc
j tax fur In-: own advantage, will sustain in triumph aI
V\ asiungton, the long tried and faiili id prist of ins
! party.
The Ext'a Globo will he published weekly for six
| months, commencing on Wednesday, the 19ih Mav,
j and ending on the 19ih November next, making 26
numbers, the last of which will contain an index. Ea< h
numoer wH! contain sixteen royal quarto pages. It
will contain principally political ‘matter. The political
aspect and bearing of the measures before Congress
during the special session will be fully developed,” and
when the proceedings ate considered of much interest
to the public, they will .e given at length.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will begin
with the extra session of Congress, to comnienceon
Monday, the 31 st of May next,’ and will be continued
during the session. The Congressional Globe will
give an impartial history of the proceedings of both
Houses of Congress, and the Appendix will contain
all the speeches on both sides of important subjects, at
full length, as written out or revised, bv the members
themselves. They will be printed as last as the bu
siness of the two Houses furnishes nia’ter for a num
ber, It is certain that we will publish more numbers
of each than there will be weeks in ttio session. They
will be issued in the same f .rill as the Extra Globe,
and a copious index to each. Nothing but the prcsl
ceedings and speeches of Congress will he admitted
into the Congressional Globe or Appendix.
These works being printed in a suitable form for
binding, with copious tndeves, will form a valuable, in
deed. a necessary, appendage to the library of the
statesman and politician, giving, as they do, at an ex
tremely moderate price, a complete epitome of the po
litical and legislative history of the period.

the 26th May, and for the Congressional Globe and
