ilia Excellency John Tyeeu,
President of the United States :
Sir Prompted by no other feelings than
b conscious rectitude in the perlormance ol
inv official duties, and sensible that a w rong
lias been done to me by my removal from
the office of Post Master ol this City, 1 an;
induced to submit to you ibis communication,
so that the blame may rest where it projierly
belongs. No pubnc functionary in this Ri>
pubhc, however elevated his station, is above
censure and reproach lor improjier and faith
less conduct iu tiie discharge ol official fluty,
or absolved from giving reasons lor such con
duct, when it affects the rights and impugns
the character ot a citizen ; and 1 hold tins
proposition to he correct ni politics as well
as in morals, tiiat whenever the President ol
the United Suits thinks proper, voluntarily [
and without any obligation un his part, to |
make a public and written declaration ol
principles, and to define and lay and iwn the
rule of action by winch he will be governed
in tlie discharge of Ins official duties, that
those who are in office subject to his will, as
well tiitiic pcoj)io IIVj hive u lo
C xpcci he will act up to, and carry out those
principles and pledges so pubbciy and sol
emnly made. And should they be violated,
the individual who has been the victim of
such violation, exercises not only a right,
but performs an ::m*rious duty, to ask for
the reasons winch induced such Vioiaiion and
desertion ol principle, and to submit die Lets
to the public m justification of himself.
Were it not for the p.e Iges so solemnly
and publicly made by you in your address to
1 tic People ot the United Statej, upon assum
ing the office of President, the course you
have thought proper to pursue in my case,
would not be. thus arraigned. As rai ab
btract principle, I admit the right you have
as President of the United btates to remove
Irotu otiiee at your pleasure, without assign
ing reasons for so doing, and the individual
so removed should acquiesce, however cause
less may have been the sacrifice, ft is the pre
rogative of the Executive, and il it is used
improperly and in a manner injurious to the
public interest, he is responsible to the popu
lar will alone. You have thought proper,
however, publicly to declare that “you would
remove no incumbent from office wtio has
faithfully and honestly acquitted himself of
his office, except in such cases where such of
tiacr has been guilty of an active paruzin
aliip, or by secret means —the less manly and
therefore the more objectionable—ti3s given
his official influence to the purposes of party,
thereby bringing the patronage ot the Gov
ernment in coiifl.ct with the Ireedotn ol elec
tions.” Your immediate predecessor made a
similar declaration previous to, and alter his
election. In consequence of this declaration
and pledge made by General Harrison, sev
eral gentlemen (and among the most respec
table of this City,) politically attached to the
r resent Administration, who felt anxious that
should be retained in office, drew up and
aigned a statement of facts (a copy of which
is hereunto annexed) which was addressed
ami enclosed to the President of the United
’ Slates, for the purpose of advising him of the
course I had pursued since my appointment to
office. Fearing that the statement in ques
tion might escape your notice, a copy was
transmitted to the honorable Thomas b\ Fos
ter, a member ol Congress from tins Stale,
(resident in this City) with a request to lay u
before you. i letter from that gentleman
nnd also one from the Post Office Depart
ment (a copy of which is subjoined) commu
nicated the intelligence that the request to
the Hon. Thomas F. Foster had been com
plied with, and that the copy petition hail
been referred to that Department, an.l placed
on tile, and that the original itad been placed
on li e the sth ol April last.
With this statement of facts before you,
nnd without any charges against me (so lin
ns 1 know or believe) of improper interler
tmee in politics, or ot a faithless and dishonest
discharge of my official duties, wiihout no
tice, reasons, charges or a hearing, ! have
been unceremoniously removed from office.—
This act of yours, m connection with your
solemn declaration and pledges, would dearly
justify the inference, to one unacquainted wait
the (acts, that l was obnoxious to the charge
of “active partisanship—or by secret means,
the less manly and therefore the more objec
tionable, had given ray official influence to
the purposes of party, thereby bringing the
patronage of the government in conflict with
the freedom of elections” or of a faithless and
dishonest discharge of my official duties, it
is to these imputations again. t my private
and official character (implied by your vol
untary and public and subse
quent course in this instance,) to which 1
object. Audi respectfully ask of you to re
concile your declarations and pledges with
your act in this ass ir. ll you are not dis
posed in vindication of your private and offi
cial character, and for the sake of moral and
political honesty, at least in justice to my
character and the manner in winch 1 have
discharged the duties of a public trust confi
ded to me, exhibit to me and the citizens of
this community at least a show of reason or
excuse for my dismissal from office.

To the President of the Unued Slates:
The undersigned, citizens of Columbus.
Georgia, respectfully represent to the Presi
tl6nt that John Schley, the present Post .Mas
ter of this city, who received his appointment
in July 1 ♦'d, is a capable, efficient and accep
table olfieer. Tiiat in the discharge of his
public duties and in his official intercourse
with all who have had business with him, he
has conducted himself with uprightness and
impuriialiij, and with reference only to the
proper administration ol the duties o. Ins
office.
We would further respectfully represent,
to the President, that 31 r. Schley has not
made his office subservient to political objects
or designs, or attempted to bring any influente
which his ‘Kisition conferred into conflict with
the freed* >m of elections. On the contrary, we
are satisfied from personal observation and
from daily intercourse tiiat the present Post
Master of this city has, si ice his appointment
;o the station Le'uow bolds, had no other ob
ject in view- than a faithful and rigid compli
ance with the laws ana instructions regulating
iind prescribing the duties devo i i:?g upon Inn.,
and to execute them conformably to the wish
es of the Government, and in a m inner satis
factory to the people of this place.
If it were necessary to adduce facts to
show the impartial tjr cf Mr. Schley in ms
official capacity, we could mention that two
out of his four assistants have been, and are
still, warm opponents of the administration ol
Mr- Van Boren.
We are unapprized of the course which
will be pursued by the President elect in re
ference to the Post Office in this city; but we
have thought it due to 3lr. Schley to make
these representations ot fac/s, w idth we are
certain will be contradicted by no one, and
to ask from the appointing power their respect
ful consideration.

SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA—JUNE
TERM, IK4I.
J. t . bo W . Cocke,
vs.
Branch of Dank of the State of Alabama at
Mobile.
One of a firm of Tavern keepers has 110 au
thority to bind bis co-partner by a note of
which tbe consideration has no connection
with the business of the joint concern : and
the want of such consideration may be
shown in defence to action by a bona fide
holder of the note.
Writ of Error to the county court of Mobile
county.
Motion by the Bank for a judgment against
the defendants as the makers of a promissory
note. The defendants pleaded non assumpsit,
and it was agreed between the parties that
this should stand as a plea of non esl factum ,
denying the execution of the note, and its
endorsement by Lea &, Langdon, the payees.
At the trial the plaintiff produced a note for
the sum of 4609 dollars, signed J. F. & W.
Cocke, payable to Lea & Langdon, and en
dorsed thus : “ Lea &. Langdon, *1 liquida
tion.” The plaintiff’ then proved that the
signature was in the hand-writing of J. F,
[Cocke, one of the defendants; that the de
fendants were Tavern keepers and partners ;
that the note was transferred to the Bank by
Lea &. Langdon in liquidation of their debt
to it; and tiiat each partner of this linn bad
authority to sign tlie name of the firm iu li
quidation of partnership debts.
The defendants then proved by Martin A.
Lea tiiat lie obtained the names of the defen
dants in blank ; that the names were signed
by J. F. Cocke, without the knowledge of
Woodson Cocke, the other partner; that said
Cocke owed Lea & Langdon no money, and
was under no obligation to him; that no part
of the proceeds of the note was appropriated
to the defendants ; that they are partners in a
public house in Marion, and carried on no
mercantile business; that the note was trans
ferred in liquidation of Lea & Langdou’s
debt, and that the endorsement was made al
ter the dissolution of the firm. The defend
ants further proved, by another witness, that
J. F. Cocke, left the blank signature of the
firm of J. F. &. W. Cocke, with Start in A.
Lea, one of the firm of Lea and Langdon.
This witness, some time afterwards, at the
instance of said Lea, wrote the note over the
blank signature; tiiat Woodson Cocke had
no knowledge of tiie name of the firm beiug
left or used ; that neither of the defendants
had any knowledge of the note being filled
up, or of its being used by Lea &, Langdon ;
that they had no interest in the consideration
ol the note, and derived no benefit from the
transfer to tiie Bank; that the defendants
were tavern keepers iu the town of Marion,
Ferry county, and wore only partners as such;
that it was not usual for such partners to give
or trails.er hills or notes to a large amount,
and that il was not necessary in business of
that kind ; that the firm of J. F. de W. Cocke
were doing no mercantile business, but that
they bought and sold spin to us liquors for the
use 01 their tavern.
The court charged the jury that the want
of consideration was not a matter for them to
investigate. If one gives his name to another
m blank, he thereby puts himself in the power
of tiiat other to any amount he thinks proper
to use the blank. A partner cannot commit
hits copartner for any thing not connected in
some manner or other, with their partnership
business ; and if this note was made lor any
other purpose, than in the course of business,
Lea & Langdon, to whom the note is payable,
coil'd not recover of W. Cocke, who, it seems,
was not privy to the transaction. But the
question is, was the Bank acquainted with
tiit* circumstances under which the note wcb
made !• If so, it cannot recover; otherwise,
it must.
A partner may not bind his copartner after
the dissolution of the partnership ; but in dis
solving they may by mutual agreement, bind
each oilier in the liquidation and closing the
business of tiie firm. If the presiding judge
was indebted to one of the jury, and agreed
to give In in the note of another m liquidation
of Urn debt, the juror could recover the note,
although the judge might have obtained it
uinau'ly, unless the juror was advised or noti
fied of the manner in which it was obtained.
The court was requested by the defendants
to charge the jury.
1. That should they believe J. F. &. W.
Cocke were tavern keepers in the town ol
Marion, and tiiat J. r. Cocke signed the
names of the firm in blank, under the ciicum
stances stated by the witnesses, and it had
! no connection with their business as tavern
keepers then the plaintiffs ought not to reco
ver against Woodson Cocke.
2. Flint should they believe the note de
clared on was taken by the Bank in liquida
tion oi'tiie then existing liabilities of Lea 6k
Langdon—hat no new or present considera
tion was given h r the same ; that no existing
security was released ; and that Lead’. Lang
don were still liable to the Bank for their
debt; —then the plaiuliil'did not give a suita
ble consideration lor tiie note, and ought not
to recover.
3. That should they believe the firm of
Lea 6c Langdon was dissolved at the time the
note was endorsed to the plaintiffs ; and that
the endorsement of Lea & Langdon was made
without the knowledge of Langdon, then the
Jegal title was not transferred to the Bank,
and the plaintiffs, ought not to recover.
These charges weic refused; and there
upon the defendants excepted, as well to the
charges given as to the refusal to instruct as
requested- They now assign that the county
court erred in the several matters covered by
the bill of exceptions.
Camcekll for tiie plaintiffs in error relied
on two positions:
1. That the defendants were not partners
in trade* and therefore had no authority to
bind the other, unless an authority beyond the
mere fact ot partnership is shown. The
Bank is bound to know tiie extent of an au
thority when it is implied from the condition
of the parties: if the defendants were partners
in trad , then a general authority will be im
plied ;yf partners in a business not connected ,
with trade, then the public is held to inquire i
into the authority of one of the partners when;
he attempts to bind the firm, as none is im
plied from the nature >f the business. Dick- \

Part. -17 ; 13des uii 13.'s 20 ; 4 Dam bio ; 6

2. That the transfer by Lea to the Bank,
was unauthorized by Langdon, and co.ise-’
quently the property in the note did not pass !
by the endorsement. Whatever equitable!

Goldthwaite, j. 1. The first and most
important question to be determined here is,
whether Woodson Cocke b ;:,J to the pay
ment ot the note executed in the ; trtnership
name, by his partner.
It is not denied that a copartnership may
be formed with respect to any legal business,
and the acts of one with reference to any i
matter connected with the joint business, will
bmd ihe others. But it insisted that the
fiabdity of a partner to pay a note executed
by his copartner, when it has been put in cir
cuiation without any consideration connected
with the partnership business, only extends
to cases of mercantile partnerships.
When the subject is examined, it will be
found that the rule is adopted into the com
mon law, from the usages and customs of
merchants, and applies only to partnerships in
trade, in such partnerships, each partner is
presumed to have the authority to make and
endorse promissory notes and bills of ex
change ; and if a bill or note is issued in the
name of the firm, it will bind all the members
of it when in the hands of a bona fide holder,
although one of the partners may have put it
in circulation in fraud of the others. Chi Up
on Bills, 45, note M. and cases there cited.
The citation of one or two authorities will
make it sufficiently obvious that there are
partnerships to which the rule of the law
merchant does not apply. Thus in the case
ol v, lilianis vs. 1 humus, 6 Lsp. 18, Lord
Ellenbotough held, at. Ntsi Prius, that a bona
fide holder could not maintain an action on a
bill of exchange accepted by one of several
joint owners of a ship in the names of all on
whom the bill was drawn. The bill on its
face purported to be drawn for goods furnished
to tiie ship, but in fact was drawn for an ac
count unconnected with it. And in the case
ol Dickerson vs. Valpy, 10 B. & C. 128, the
action was also by a bona fide holder, and the
defendant was sought to be charged as one
of the members of a mining company, on a
bill drawn and accepted by order of the direc
tors of the company. It was held to be in
cumbent on on the plaintiff'to prove that the
directors of the company had authority lo bind
the other members, by drawing or accepting
bills; and that the plaintiff nut having pro
duced the deed of copartnership, nor given any
evidence to show that it was necessary lor the
purpose of carrying on the business of that
| mining company, or usual for other mining
j companies to draw or accept bills in this form,
which iu effect were promissory notes.
From these cases it seems to be questiona
ble whether partners, not in the trade of mer
chandize, can bind their copartners by a bill
or note; but conceding that they may do for
all matters connected with the partnership
business, these decisions are conclusive to
show tiiat beyond this, oue partner cannot be
bound by another, unless an authority is ex
pressly given, or can be inferred from the
circumstances attending the transaction.
Iu this case it is stated that the defendants
purcliaseil spirituous liquors for the purpose
of Belling aud using in their tavern. This
certainly cannot have the effect to make the
business of tavern-keeping a mercantile trade,
so as to bring it within the influence of the
custom of merchants. I. is difficult to con
ceive of any partnership business which does
not require some purchases to be made in the
usual course of it, and this fact is conclusive
to show tiiat. tiie mercantile law does not at
tach to partnerships for such a cause merely ;
for otherwise, the case of the ship owners, and
of the mining company, would have been
within it.
The law presumes that the Bank, if it en
quired at all into the partnership of the defend
ants, must have received information that they
were not partners in a mercantile trade, but
only in the business of tavern-keeping. This
ascertained, it took the note at its jieril, and
must have relied on the faith of the endorsers.
We are constrained to declare that Wood
son Cocke is not bound to the payment of this
nole, under the circumstances disclosed.
With respect to t lie question how far the
Bank could require an mterest in this note,
under the endorsement ot Loa alter tiie disso
lution, we think the case is not sufficiently
presented 011 the facts, to enable us to enter
upon it without some risk of deciding a point
not involved. We may remark, however,
that il is difficult to conceive how I.ea could
have been authorized to sign the name of Lea
& Langdon, in liquidation , unless aome effect
is given to such authority. Whether his en
dorsement* under such authority, would trans
fer the title, or bind the firm, may not be
necessary to decide in this case, under the
view we bat e taken. We therefore decline
now to consider it.
Let the judgment be reversed, and the case
remanded.

urer, &c.
1. An action on a note, payable in general
terms to the treasurer or agent of an asso-
cialion, cannot be maintained by a person
representing himself such officer.
2. The pari}’ holding the legal interest in a

or agent, lie is Competent to maintain a::

Writ of Error to the Circuit Court of Clark
county.
The defendant in error brought an action
of Assumpsit against the piaiiitilTm the circuit
court of Clarke on a promissory note of the
following tenor: ‘Twelve months afterdate
1 1 promise to pay to the order of tiie Treasurer
; of the Manual Labour Institute of South Ala
bama, with interest., fitly dollars, payable and
negotiable at the Branch Bank of the Stale
at Mobile. _ W. W. ALSTON.”
February 23, 1838.
The declaration alleges the presentment of
the note at the Bank, at maturity, and its non
payment ; and describes the plaintifi’as Treas
urer of the Manual Labor Institute of South
i Alabama, but does not aver in usual form, that
he is the Treasurer of the corporation.
A judgment by default was rendered against
the defendant, to revise which he prosecutes
a writ of error to tins court.
Graffiti & Cochran for the defendant.
Collier, C. J. The points made by the
assignment cf errors are, Ist. Tiie suit should
i have been brought in the name of the corpo
i ration, and not its Treasurer. 2d. If the suit j
j was properly brought, it should have been
i dis-i.uPiy averred in the declaration, that the
plaintiff was the Treasurer of the corporation.
1. It is an acknowledged principle ot the
common law, that whenever a legal right is
created or liability imposed in favor of, or upon
one or more persons by means of a promissory
note, that right may be asserted, and that lia
bility enforced by action, by and against ali
those persons. Chitty on Bills, 505, 9 Am.
ed. Let us tost this question by that princi
ple. Here the maker of the note did not con
tract with the plaintiff eo nomine, but his un
dertaking literally interpreted, is to pay to
’ *■ the Treasurer of the Manual Labor Irrsti
| tute of South Alabama.” Not to the indni
i dual who may fill that office at the time the
, note bears date, but to tiie officer withoutl
[ reference to the changes that may be made j
in the office. Now if the Treasurer tor the
time being could maintain an action on the
1 note in kis'own name, by transmitting the right
j from the incumbent to successor ad injinilum.
\ it is clear that his office would become quasi
a corporation, and possess one ot its ecsc-utiai
[attributes without the aid of a legislative
! grant.
The reasonable interpretation of the note
I upon its lace is, that it is an engagement to pay
Ia sum at mane? to * hidi the manual
tlnatitilte vrad ontttied, and iff* Treasurer as he
proper depository, was to receive it. In this
view no legal right to sue, being vested in the
Treasurer, the corporation wouid be the party
|contracted with, and in its name the action
should ho brought.
! Where a contract appears with a corpora
tion, though agents are emplyed to effect i<
1 and there be a written promise to pay the agents
■x> nomine, it has been held, that t he corporation
must sue for the breach of such a contract.

j Bower vs Morris, 2 Taunt. Rep. 387. African
Society vs Varicb, 13 Johns. Rep. 33. See
also 1 Pen. Rep. 115-
Bat where there is nothing on the face of
tbe writing to shew, tiiat the corporal!* was
a party to the contract, though its name may
be mentioned, the action must be brought in
the name of the party who takes the legal in
terest. Thus in Buii'uin vs Chadvvicli,B Mass.
Rep. 103, a promissory note payable to Arnold
Euffum, agent of the Providence Hart Ma’\-
facturing Company, it was held that an action
lay by Arnold Buffum, 011 tiie note, and his
st) ling himself agent, &c. in bis writ aud de
claration, was merely descriplio personae. —
Greenfield vs Yeates, 2 Rawle’s Rep. 158.
Binney vs Plumloy, 5 Vern, Rep. 509.
In Ewing vs Maulock, 5 Porters Sep. 82, a
promise in writing was made to the Treasurer
of an unincorporated association of individu
als; it was held, that the contract was not
with the individual who might be Treasurer
but with the association, and that the Treas
urer could not maintain an action upon it.—
All the reasoning employed in that case goes
to show that the present suit is improperly
brought.
We have considered tills case upon the as
sumption t iiat the Manual Labor Institute was
a corporation, without citing the statute that
made it such; because its corporate or other
wise, the decision of the question examined
must be the same.
Without examining the second point made,
the judgment of the circuit court is reversed.

THE METHODIST MISSIONARY SO
CIETY.
Interesting addresses were made by several
and among ilium Chancellor Frelinghuysen
and Dr Macauley, who are often more than
otheis delightful: but Professor GF. Pierce
of Georgia, altogether exceeded any thing I
have ever heard in ail my attendance. He
bad a strength of thought like chalmers, and an
imagination as brilliant as Curran or Phillips.
Hu'folio wed Mr. Frelinghuysen, who made
every heart swell with the lively impulses of
his own tender and devoted spirit; and when
be rose and read his resolution, it was in so
low a key, and continued for some sentences
with a voice so indifferent and feeble that 1
thought he had a most embarrassing location.
But he soon began to rise, and threw out a
flash of intellect now and then that would
bring every spectator lo an erect position iu
his seat, in the sequel, the corruscations
became so brilliant and diversified that eve
ry eye and ear were chained and amazed,
and the emotions of some were quite irrepres
sible. The amens they uttered seemed so
consonant with the general feeling that none
could forbid them.
The address of Professor Pierce I should
lie glad to see published ; but it must have
been, chiefly, if not entirely extemporaneous
—and he must have been an uncommon re
porter, who could have followed him in his
rapid utterance and given the glowing passa
ges which electrified the audience. There
was so much of the eloquence of lips touched
with the living fiie of the altar, so much of the
fervor of a soul expanded with a Saviour,s
love, and oppressed with the consideration of
a peril of mortals, and the seeming necessity
of yoking the gospel with the lightning’s flash
10 awaken alarm, and speed its redeeming
power, tiiat an ordinary man could not have
done it. A man of strong Christian sympathy
ciiuid not have done it; bis pen wouid have
fallen from Ins hands and lie would have been
enraptured with the eloquence ol lire speaker.
Only a Ctxil, rapid head and rapid hand
could have done the speaker any kind of jus
tice. He was very long, but no one wished
him shorter , and those who were to follow
must have felt their position any tiling but
comfortable ; indeed, it was a bad arrange
meat to put any one after him.
The above encomium on Rev. Professor
Pierce is strictly just —lie is one of the most
eloquent men vvcliave ever beard speak.

men, which those of the north, as any obser
vation lias yet extended, do not attain.—
The women are incomparably more beautiful;
and we saw here some from Carolina, Virgin
ia, and Maryland, especially from Charleston,
Norfolk, and Biltimore, that would grace any
court in Europe; while from Philadelphia and
New York there were also some lovely coun
tenances, especially among the young.
Buckingham’s America.
The intelligent editor of the Cincinnati
Chronicle has been examining the six returns
of the census, taken at intervals of ten years
each since the adoption of tiie Constitution.
The investigations show some curious facts:
1. The population of the United Btates
increases exactly 24 per cent each ten years.
This law is so uniform and permanent, when
applied to the population 01T790, and brought
down to the present time, it produces nearly
me very resuit a3 shown by the census ot
IS4O. And thus we may teil with great ac
curaev what wid be the census of 1850. It
will be nearly twenty-three millions.
2. But though this is the aggregate result,
it is by no means true of each particular pari
of the country; for New England increases
at the rate of 15 per cent, each ten years,
while the North Western States increase 100
per cent in that period.
3. The Slave population increased at 30
p j r. cent., but since at less than 25 per cent
The F;ee population have, however, increas
ed at the rate ot’ 36 per cent. At this ra;e.
; therefore* the difference between the free and
slave population is constantly increasing.
4. Another fact is that the colored popula
tion increases just hi proportion to’ the dis
tance south; and that slavery is certainly and
rapidly decreasing iu the Slates bordering on
the free Stales.
i This state of throws oorirtnued would ki
jhalf a century extinguish slavery in these
States, and concentrate the whole black popu
lation of the United States on ihe Gulf of
Mexico, and the adjacent States on the South
ern Atlantic.
