the resolute determination of the largest part
<.t that honorable body, made tlie decision
final, leaving us wholly unable to calculate
the vast good that would have been produced
from tlie views and suggestions o£ Governor !
McDonald, for what reason we are at a loss ■
to imagine, unfcas they were acting under:
disguised principles to avoid detection on a
subject u Inch [ will more fully explain before
1 conclude.
1 he Legislature, in the commencement of i
the session, seemed indeed to be engaged in ‘
unfolding mysteries, and error followed their i
whole proceedings, and consequently the
good of the country was entirely overlooked,
and the rights of the people left to grope in
utter darkness. But had that honorable body
advocated w ith so much zeal the promotion of
our interests, as their anxiety for the speedy
removal of our ablest and best officers, and
distinguished statesmen from office, and sup
ply their places with weak Harrison aspirants,
and pursued with a zeal and consistency
springing from an earnest attachment to tlie
great interest and prosperity of our boasted
soil, suggested by McDonald, who entertain*
ing the warmest feelings in the greatest lead
ing principles that constitute the great inter
est of the country which have been produced
from the wholesome doctrines advocated by j
him in the advancement of the good of tlie
country, make him an ornament in our ranks,
and worthy of our support. Ilad those deep
principles of right been sustained by the J le
gislature of this State, our present embar
rassed circumstances would have been greatly
removed, and the farming and mechanical in
terest advanced, and the hard laboring classes
generally promoted, and not swindled and de
frauded out of their dearest rights, by the im
proved system of rail roads, internal improve
ments, focal institutions and other like cheats,
that monopolize the whole of trade. These
local Banks have produced the most pern:
cious state of things, throughout the largest
portion of our State. They are, in fact, swind
ling shops,* barterers of the liberty of our citi
zens, and instead, therefore, of being subject
to the will of the people, the people have be
come by submission the mere tools of power.
These local banks have, indeed, no restric
tions, the law has no control over them. The
sovereign of the State, the law-making power
after contending against, fearful odds until ex
hausted and subdued reluctantly, relinquish
her right of authority to that of the Banks. I
ask, is this a safe system of a once happy and
independent people, to hazard Iter freedom to
moneyed monopoly ? Can tlie citizens of
Georgia believe themselves safe, acting un
der vassalage of this King ? An inferior pow
er resisting the sovereignty of the State ! !
Are the citizens of this Slate so entirely igno
rant of their own interests and their lellovv
tnen elsewhere, as to permit themselves im
posed upon, gulled, deceived into measures
that may result in their final destruction ?
Tlien reflect on the proceedings of the last
Legislature, and see what benefit was de
rived from it. They passed a special act re
quiring the Banks to resume specie payment
at a particular time therein specified. Ob
serve the spirit by which they were actuated,
and ask yourselves the question, as though
you were holding communion with your own
thoughts, and say whether it was of that bril
liant and glowing spirit that elevates man’s
thoughts, and causes the r sterner souls to
how with admiration and submission to the!
beautiful principles of equitable justice, or 1
was it tile boasted “Harrison reform” the I
great engine by which the rights of the peo- j
pie were waited away on the broad ocean of
despair ! Wlio were the warm aud untiring
advocates of tlie Van tiuren measures in the
last Legislature; and who passed it! Were
they the friends and supporters of the Van
Buren party; a principle, a deviation front
w hich, would be a sacrifice of honor, on the
tires of patriotism and valor, which burn into
the soul tlie sacred images ol home and coun
try ! or were they the heretofore violent and
almost inexorable friends of the Banks sand
Why this change ! was it for the love ot coun
try, or was it thirst for power ! some ambushed
measure to rule the tide ot gain ! There
was also a previous pledge of prosperous times
alter the elevation of Harrison to the Presi
dency, and this was the plan ad> pted previ
ous to the sitting of the Legislature, to dupe
and deceive the peop'e ; that the now Harri
son parly in power would force the Banks to
ihe discharge of t’lotr duty by co-operating
with the views of the Van Buren portion ot
the last Legislature. But old birds are not
eas.ly caught with chaf'd they are too much oti
the alert to he entrapped by shadows.
This party had not the most remote idea of
sustaining any measure calculated to distress
the Banks, hat rather facilitating their inter
ests after resumption, to the great injury oi
the country, by enabling thorn more creditably
to suspend. And can it be possible that
Georgia can he so careless and indifferent to
her interest as to pass this base cheat uuob
se ved ! If thus, 1 entreat, l implore you to
pause, lor even now we stand upon the brink
of fate. There is too much depending on her
exertions at this era of our aflairs, to hazard
our liberties on the fidelity of the aspirants to i
power, the creatures ol a moment 1 men, \\ no
if you force them to the point on any act of
theirs, cry aloud for principles, pretty fellows ■
to apeak of principles! men who have aban- 1
doiied their principles, and even tiro principles ,
of their constituents, the republican prmci- <
pies of Georgia ! -As soon as the Legislature
had dispersed and the Hanks felt themselves ,
secure from censure by a compliance with her
act, and the great interest of. the people come j
in contact with theirs, there was a strong pie - .
sumption of suspension, resting some where, |
for as soon as the effort was made to force
upon them their own bills lor redemption,
there was a cry of horror, as though daggers
were piercing the inmost researches of their
souls ; as though some foreign emissary had
landed upon our coasts, and kindled a confla
gration which is sweeping with desolation
over the land, and has only to embark lor his
own country, and there look back securely,
with indifference or exultat ion, upon the wide
spread ruin, the work ot his own hands.
\ n d with this feeble excuse, suspension fol
lowed immediately, and the citizens left to
sustain the injury without redress. It is lair
to suppose that the heretofore honest, upright
and correct gentlemen who watched with an
e i the iate administration, have great iy
nrJstted'bv’ their sagacity, but being mexpe
lvviced and not so accurate and accomplished
vi tin business, were more easily detected
and brought before the eyes ot the world, to
h li:fT tlitT penalties of censure and contempt
fir their oerli tv. Notwithstanding, there is
vet cause to tear 0:1 their part Tlie fatted
“•warm has been driven from its prey, and a
}j ~,-rry and fiercer on- turned loose, the
watch word, lav low and ke p dark, and we 1
1,, i„to the n a feet ! But tue poor little tel
inv that watted patently, watching his op
portunity to grab at Urn bulk, whale the more
powerful monstcre were feathering their nests,
waited too long, for as soon a3 he thought he
dare venture, he raised himself carefully from
his cover and peeped over, and behold ! his
companions were gone; at this favorable op
portunely his heart palpitated with delight,
and quick as thought hounded over the obsta
cles that obstructed his sight, and on a close
examination found the .vaults robbed of the
much desired treasure. How humbled at this
sight, liis hopes fled. He turned away
with horror from the scene ol action, his bright
est anticipation was no more, he was a silent
observer while the assassin loaded himself
with the spoils. Now all is calm within, and
he leit to reflect upon tlie deed, pennyless,
though not tlie less guilty of the crime. Siill
no human eye witnessed the deed ; vet he
sufiored the wreck of torture. He retired to
ills private lodgings to repose, but alas! there
was none. The eye of heaven penetrated the
dai ses* chambers of his soul ; tract his sleep
less meditations through the night, and al
though he had screened himself from human
sight, yet he knew he must he arraigned be
j lore high heaven for the perpetration of an act
| that would create eternal and ever last ing tor
tures in his once peaceful bosom. To resume j
! our thread of argument, we must again be !
j permitted to return to the Banks. The moth-1
er ot the Banks the tool of power; and why?
because if the local Institutions he permitted i
to gather strength as they have previously j
done, without a check, the whole power will j
be vested in them. How ? by a preparation !
t >r resumption previous to the sitting of the J
Legislature and suspension immediately there
after
By this means she will be enabled fully to
acquit and exculpate herself from censure, by
the “ilarrrison reform” legislature of Georgia.
In this way they may become a powerful ma
chine, and carry desolation, dismay, and I may
say, almost death, throughout the largest por
tions of our once happy and independent State.
Thus will they continue, unless her bold effort
is repulsed, until they may be compelled to
submit to the bloody and inhuman yoke of
tyranny and oppression. To illustrate that
idea, look at Mexico, a few years ago she
awoke from a lethargy of centuries and in
the majesty of millions of citizens drove Cas
tilian bondage from her, like dew drops from
a morning breeze. But behold her now,
wretched, accursed victim of self-oppression
and debasement, destroyed by discord, bleed
ing at every pore by party strife—her resour
ces exhausted, her name a by word of con
tempt and abhorrence.
But what, I ask, will be the situation of the
States, (organized and managed as the v are
now) if, by the destruction of our national
compact, they be left to themselves. What
is the probable result? We will either be
the victims of foreign intrigues, and split into
factions, laboring under the dominion of for
eign power, or else after the misery and tor
ture ot Bank faction be compelled to become
the subjects of despotism. This gigantic
power has and will threaten to convulse to the
centre the whole commercial and industrious
system of our fertile and luxuriant country.
The people 1 fear, are not awake to their cor
rect situation, or they could not calmly submit
to the disastrous effects produced by their le
thargy. H. H. L.

CONGRESSIONAL ANALYSIS.
Senate. —The National Bank came up as
the special order, Mr. Merrick, as we under
stood at tlie adjournment, was entitled to the
ll ior to-day to resume the debate on Mr.
Hives amendment, making the assent of the
States necessary to the introduction of branch
es within their borders. Bui by some ar
rangement, we suppose, among the friends
of tn.s amendment, Mr Choate, the member
from Boston, rose and entered upon an anx
ious aud pressing appeal to the Administration
side of toe chamber to unite in the adoption
of this plan of a Bank, as tlie only possible
mode of accomplishing the principal object
tor which the extra session was convened.—
\lr. Clay of Kentucky entered the chamber
shortly alter Mr. Chsate had begun what
was afterwards called his “ imploration,” and
if we did not egregiouslv misinterpret the ex
pression ot’ lus lace, which was certainly
marked with very legible lines of strong emo
tion, he was prepared as little for “ the enter
tainment to which vve were invited,” as he
relished it when he came. He shook his head
in a sort of soliloquy in his seat; fixed his
mouth in strong compression; and nodding
to and fro in dumb show, and folding Ins
hands within eaclt other, he threw tumsell
back in Ids chair, and extended his limbs in
another, at lull length, as if to nsult his pil
low for a tinai determination. At last he rose
and went from friend to friend in the progress
ol’ Mr. Choate’s speech, and was evidently
encountered by earnest expostulation. He
seemed tranquilized by degtees, and we sup
posed It id come to tlie resolution that iie
would sit quiet, and bear it with becoming res
ignation to the end. But he was pinched in
: a place that brought him to itis feet.
Mr. Choate, among other inducements to
draw the \\ higs to the support of Mr. Rives
| amendment, said, “ l have r o doubt—indeed,
j l will say to my friends that i.kmnv —if they
1 adhere to this Bank lull without the amend
ment now proposed, they will bas e no Bairit
{this session.”
Mr. Clay, of Kentucky, could stand it r.o
longer; but bridling Ins passion to a show ol
i courtesy, asked, \N ill the Senator from Mas
j sachusetts allow me to interrupt him a mo
il ment ? It is but one word, sir—to ask him a
plain question. He says, positively, that we
are to have no Bank tins session, unless the
| amendment is adopted—that he knows it.—
i Now 1 have every respect for the arguments
land opinions of the Senator from Massachu
j setts ; but when he goes beyond an expression
of opinion, and positively asserts that lie
| knows tlieie will he no Bank bili this session,
! an inference is left to be drawn, which com
pels me to rise and call on him to give the
grounds otr which he makes this broad assei
tion.
Mr. Choate replied. Surely the Senator
from Kentucky wnl allow me, without imei- j
motion, the right of expressing manfully my
firm conviction, wiihoui be mg obliged ingivej
reasons, which I cannot give without a j
breach of privilege, or violating a partiamen-j
tarv rule, which 1 do not feel disposed to vio
late. I tell the Senator again, there will be
no Bank this session, unless this amendment
prevails.
[Here Mr. C. was allowed to proceed with
out interruption.]
Mr. Simmons spoke next. After he had
concluded.
Mr. Arcl er spoke for some time. When
alluding to the influence brought to bear
from the President’s opinions, and Mr. Clay’s
attempt to draw out a direct admission, that
the President’s resolution in regard to the mo
tion pending,” was referred to by Mr
Choate. —
Mr. Clay asked the Senator from Tirginia,
to allow him to explain what he did sa v. He
had interrupted the Senator from Massachu
setts, to ascertain upon what ground the as
sertion was made, positively made, that there
could be uo Bank, but the thing tendered by
the gentleman from Virginia. It did not fol
low that the fact stated, depended on the de
ter....nation of the Executive. It might be
that the gentleman had polled one or the oth
er of the legislative branches, and found that
the thing now presented, was the only meas
ure that could he carried.
Mr. Choate |made {same explanation, not
distinctly heard. It was understood to be,
that he had not used the name or official au
thority of the Executive ; but had expressed
hi conviction, derived from|many facts and
deductions, which he did not think necessary
to exp’ain. .„ , , . .
Mr. Clay. I ant satisfied that the honora
ble Senator made an assertion much stronger
than that which he now makes. Ho said he
knew there would be no Bank this session, un
less this amendment was adopted. 1 wanted
to ascertain how he knew the fact. I ought
not have been authorized in supposing he
knew it from the Executive; he might have
derived his knowledge from lire other
branch ; but I wanted to know where he got
the tact from.
Mr. Choate, ft is proper for me to say,
that I never exchanged a syllable with the
Executive, or derived from his lips any ex
pression on this subject I said that I believed
this was tiie only way we had to get a Bank
this session; and l stated distinctly, that 1
had no authority for saying this from the Ex
ecutive, or any one else whom the Senator
from Kentucfiy alludes to, as my supposed
[authority. • 1 stated my own conv.ctious.
Mr. Ciay. I rise,.sir, to vindicate myself
from the inference that 1 had no grounds for
[questioning the Senator when J interrupted
ium. The inference that I interfered in con
seqtit nee of a mere express on of t.is opinion,
:is not warranted. I did nosoch thing. The
: gentleman said that lie knew we would have
! no bark this session unless we adopted this a
! mendment. lie made the assertion most
positively, as‘il from the authority of some
competent power te render the measure
nugatory I wanted to know what authority,
he had lor the assertion; aud, lor that purpose
alone, 1 interrupted him.
Mr. Choate, I had given my conviction.
The Senator from Kentucky asked me what
grounds I rested my belief upon. I replied
that 1 based them on facts and deductions I
did not think proper to disclose. I did not,
m giving convictions from a beliefl could not
control, imply that I had any Executive au
thority for what Ijstated.
Mr. Clay—(excited.) Will the gentleman
say that he did not, in answer to my direct
interrogatory, state that he could not disclose
the source of his convictions without a breach
of privilege and violation ot parliamentary
rule ? . ,
Mr. Choate attempted again to explain,
but was interrupted by Mr. Clay, in great ex
citement.
Mr. Clay. That, sir, is not the thing.—
Did you dot say that you could not, without
breach ot privilege, and violation of parlia
mentary rtU, disclose your authority?
Mr. Choate. Sir, I insist on my right to
explain what I did say in mv own words.
Mr. Clay, (under great excitement.) “Did
you not say, sir, that—
Mr. Preston. 1 rise, sir, (addressing the
Chair and advancing towards the centre of
the floor, where Mr. Clay stood close to Mr.
Choate,) 1 rise sir to a question of order.
The chair called the Senator to orderand
after a little agitation, all were seated.
This brief memoranda of the words fur
rushes but an imperfect idea of the scene. —
The manner in which the affair was conduc
ted cannot be trahsferred to paper. Mr.
Clay, who sits on the opposite side ol the
chamber lrom Mr. Choate, had approached
him, before the second altercation began, so
that there was hut a single seat between
them. When Mr. Choate rose in reply to
Mr. Clay’s renewed suggestions, urged in the
most insulting tone, Mr. Clay kept his feet.
In fact, he turned upon him, and fixed an eye
like that of the basilisk, directly in his face ;
andnvheri he put his last question, be did ii
with an emphasis and an expression of coun
tenance which made it perfectly plain to an
observer, that it was an obvious attempt to
Fletcherize Mr. Choate on the floor of the
Senate of the United States.—Globe.
To tlie Editors of the Charleston Courier :
Seeing in your paper of yesterday the fol
lowing extract, viz:
“ When is Mr. John C. Hamilton coming
out with the third volume of his father’s life?
We are curious to see it-—especially the his
tory of the organization of tlie first bank of
the United States. It has been intimated to
ns that it will disclose the remarkable fact,
that the original opposition of A r irginia to
scruples, but from a desire to have ti e national
capital established at Richmond. Philadel
phia was at that time the seat of Government
The Virginians wished to carry it to Rich
mond ; and they feared that the establishment
of a National hank at Philadelphia would be
an obstacle in their way. ‘lienee they were
ready to support the bank charter on the con
dition that it should be limited to ten years.
But thirty years wa3 longer than the Rich
mond people could wait. Hence again, the
constitutional scruples, which were an after
thought.—N..Y. Com. Adv.
I was forcibly reminded of the remarks of
Col. Burr, frequently made to me, and prob
ably to others in his confidence, of General
Washington’s compromise in signing the first
charter of aU. States Bank. He staged to
me, that it was the most ardent wish of Gen.
Washington to have the Capital of the Feder
al Government where it is now located. That
he objected to signing the Bank bill, unless
there was a satisfactory assurance of the re
moval of the seat of government to its present
site. That he told the friends of a national
batik, that he could defend lilsre/o upon con
stitutional grounds, for they well knew that
the Convention refused giving the right of
chartering a bank or other corporat ion to Con
gress. The compromise followed, and bo h
acts passed the rein. How iar Burr ruay be
right or wrong, I know not —two facts are
certain, the one that he often made the above
statements to me, and the oilier is that the acts
alluded to passed, the same session of Con
gress.
Yours, respectfully,
John L. Wilson.
Tho city is overrun with office seekers of
every descript ion. They come in dfoves from
ali quarters of the Union, except New Eng
land, and they torment the President almost
beyond endurance. He will eventually be
constrained to exclude the whole horde, if he
cannot otherwise protect himself from unseas
onable intrusion and importunity. Why do
they not coniine their-annoyance to the cabi
net where it legitimately belongs! When
[ a highwayman threatened to shoot an Eng
iisii liob’eman, his reply was—“ Shoot the ser
vants, ifit is just as agreeable to you—they
I are paid for it.”
Why is it that the whig press and particu
larly that portion devoted to Mr. Clay, is at
this juncture assailing Mr. Wise with such
ferocity! Why rake open the unhappy affair
in which Ciiley was shot, at tins late day !
Do the friends of Mr. Ciry desire to provoke
a publication of the secret history of that
transaction ! Are they anxious to have all
the facts—all the collateral circumstances of
that matter laid before the public? If such
is not their wish, why revive recollections so
painful to all, and from which no good can pos
sibly arise lo any body 1
There seems to be a concerted determina
tion to break Mr. Wise down, or drive him
out of the party- Neither effort can succeed.
He has the talent and the disposition to main
tain his position against odds of any magni
tude. Mr. Wise is entirely misunderstood,,
wilfully in Congress, and ignorantly by the
whig press, and it will soon become necessary
to set him right before the people.—Wash.

We received some time since tlie Report
of J. Edgar Thompson, Esq. Chief Engineer
of the Ga. Railroad, made to the Company on
10th May last and exhibiting the progress and
[condition of this great enterprize on the Ist
|of April. The Road is now finished and in
operation from Augusta to Madison, a dis

Madison to the chartered limit at Decatur, a
distance of 67 1-2 miles —where it will uuite
with the Western and Atlantic R. K-, by which
it will be connected with the Tennessee river,
is estimated to cost 01,215,091, 90. The

Ginn, who kept a groggery somewhere on the
Mississippi, advertised lately, that he was a
bout absquatulating, because he was not pre
pared to “ shell out the coru, and wipe off old

every effort to settle all his debts wherein he
had value received, but he wished it to be em

The Exchanges.— The Exchanges be
tween New York and Liverpool, amounting
probably to from 20 to 40 millions annually
are conducted without a regulator or any
common paper currency. The standard for
the rate of these Exchanges is gold and silver
but even this medium is not used in conduc
ting the Exchanges to the amount of one per
cent of the total amount of the transactions
between the two places.
If then, the merchants, State banks, private
bankers and money dealers in New’ York, can
provide for and carry on the Exchanges to this
vast amount, without any manufacturer of a
paper currency for tli* world—cannot these

COUNCIL CHAMBER,
June 29, 1841.
At a called meeting of the Council, Present Alder
men Abbott, Berry, Bedell, Clayton,Greene, Morton,
Morris. Q,uin, Sturgis and Wells. Alderman Berry
m ilie Chair.
After reading the journal of the last meeting, Al
derman Sturgis moved to reconsider so much of t he
ac ion of the last meeting, as relate? to the water priv
ilege, which was agreed to, and offered the following
as a substitute, in lieu thereof:
Whereas, the Legislature of the State of
Georgia, having at its last session authorized
the Mayor and Council of said City of Co
lumbus-, to define Bay Street in said City,
and to limit its width, and to lay off water lots
up and along the western boundary line of said
street, and on the north common of said City,
beginning at the south common, and exten
ding north to the northern limits of the north
common of said city, and next to high water
mark on the western, bank of the Chattahoo
chee, and to dispose of said water lots by sale
or lease, for such.times and on such terms as
they may deem best; for the interest of said
city, and to execute titles to the same,’ and
many of our fellow citizens having expressed
their opinion, that the early disposition and
sale of said common, for the purpose con
templated by the Legislature of this State,
will conduce to Jhe benefit of said City,
Be it therefore ordained, by the Mayor and
Council of the City of Columbus, that said
Mayor and Council do make this proposition
to any person or persons, or any company ot
persons, that the said Mayor and Council will
cause the north common aforesaid, extending
from the northern boundary line of the south
ern boundary line of south common to be laid
off into lots ‘seventy feet wide, north and south
and east and west, from Bay street to high
water mark on the western bank of the Chat
tahoochee River, which lots shall be num
bered, beginning at the northern boundary
line of said north common, and will reserve
all of said lots of odd numbers, and will con
vey all the others in fee simple, to such per
son or persons or company of persons, such
conveyance of title to be made immediately
after the bond hereinafter shall have been
given; requiring him or them to erect a suita
ble, sufficient, and well constructed dam a
cross said river, terminating on the eastern
bauk thereof,‘below the centre (of the width) 1
of lot number one, so that when the river is
at its usual heigh?,’ five feet head of water
may be obtained on said let number one, and
an increased bead on all the lots below it, by
an almost le\fol canal or race, and to con
struct and form a safe and well constructed
race or canal, extending from saiddam through
all of said lots, said dam to be so high and
said race or canal so capacious, that when
said river falls to the! lowest height to which
it usually stands in very dry weather, all ’he
water of the river may, as it runs down, pass
through said race or canal, and to keep said
dam and race forever in good repair the said ,
lots of even numbers, and their improvements j
and no other property whatever, to be forever
liable for the payment of any damages, which
said city or any person or persons or company
of persons, to whom they may sell and con
vey any one or more of said lots of odd num
bers may sustain by reason of a failure to
complete said race or canal, or to keep the
same and the said dam in good repair, and to
commence in good faith, and not evasively, the
erection of said dam and the construction of
said race or canal, within twelve months from
the date thereof, and to have said dam comple
ted and said race pf canal so far completed,
that said five feet head of water may be ob
tained on said lot number one, and available
for propelling machinery within twenty-tour
months from this date, and to fully complete
said canal or race within four years from this
date, and to insert the foregoing requisitions
as part of such deed or deeds of conveyance
from said Mavor and Council to such person
or persons or company of persons, and to give
within ninety days from the sixth day of July
t ext, a good and sufficient bond with good
security, in the sum of ten thousand dollars,
conditioned so as to require the completion of
the said dam and construction of 6aid canal or
race to said lot number one, as above described,
w ithin two years from the date hereof; and in
the event of a failure to erect paid dam an J
said canal or race, within the time limited,
said lots of even numbers shall revert to said
Mayor and Council.
And be it further resolved by the authority
aforesaid, That Mayor and Council do make
hereby, to any person or persons or any com
pany of persons, this other and following pro
position : That said Mayor and Council will
lease all the common belonging to said city,
and lying on and along the Chattahoochee,
between Franklin and Crawford streets, to be
laid off into water lots in the same manner
and upon the same plan as are herein before
prescribed, in relation to the north common oi
said city, excepting where the distance be
tween the river and street or a town lot does
not extend to one hundred feet, the lot or lots
laid off at such points shall be increased in
neither, until such increase in number of feet
shall be equal to the difference between sat'd
distance and one hundred feet, and to dispose
of the same in the same manner and upon the
same plan and upon the same terms as are
contained in the first proposition with regard
to the north common, but giving to such per
son or persons or company of persons the right
to erect the dam at any point, or opposite said
first, lot and below said north common lots.
Josephus Echols having acceded to both of
the propositions contained in the foregoing
resolutions, and he asking the exclusive privi
lege tor ninety days it is resolved bv the
Mayor and Council aforesaid, that he have the
exclusive privilege for said number of days,
for giving said bond and security or either of
them. Adopted.

of said agreement to be entered into and to
execute said bond, in pursuance of the same,
