Cottiiißuj, Oa. Aug. S, 1541. 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. Xli-sncclfu!'.v v<mr oh’i. serr ’Xt, ’ JOHN SCHLEY. Coi-dirrs, Ga., 23 h Ftbruary, IS4I. 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. 11. T. Hall, John A.

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.

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! Title the Bmtii X cannot prevail 1 agatoet the defendants, (/ovx on Pan. 810 ; : Langford vs. .I lichees , 4 Johns. 224; 1 Nutt cj- Me C. 501 ; 1 Stark is 365 ; 2 Johns. 300; I McCord 388; 3 Esp. 108 13 Peck 505; Gow. on Part. 77: Ki/gorc vs. JFinlayson 1 II B. 155. 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. William W. Alston, vs. John Hartman, Treas 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 note, is alone entitled to sue; and where A. B. is the payee, though styled treasurer or agent, lie is Competent to maintain a:: action, and his representative character on the record is merely descriptio personea. 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.

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. From the Baptist Register. 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. [Eds. Sav, Rep. Aristocratic Society in America. —On the whole, perhaps, Saratoga atlbrds the best opportunity tiiat a stranger can enjoy for see ing American society on the largest scale, and embracing the greatest variety of classes at the same time, for, except the small shop keeper and mere laborer, every other class has its representatives here The rich merchants from New Orleans, and ihe wealthy planter from Arkansas, Alabama, and Tennessee, with the more haughty & more polished land owner from Georgia, the Carolinas, and Vir ginia, the successful speculator in real estate from Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri, and Michi gan ; the rich capitalist from Boston and New York, the grave quaker from Providence and Philadelphia, the official functionary from Washington, and the learned professor from New Haven, Cambridge, and Hartford, all mingle together in strange variety and pre sent such strikingly different, yet truly char j xteristic features, tiiat Uie whole Union is ! ‘bus brought before tiie eye of the stranger at one view, and he has ample field for the observation of their several representatives. Speaking in general terms, iny own impres- j -non was, that in the company at Congress Hall especially, there were quite as many ele-1 gant men, and a great many more beautiful j women, than is usually seen among a similar j number of persons assembled in any public j room at Brighton, Cheltenham, or Bath.— j Those from ti e south bore away the palm of i superiority in beaifi-y and manners, there be ing an ease, a grace, and an elegance or polish about the southerns, whether ladies or gentle 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.
