United Suites Br.nk.
The Standard of Union has been thrown into i
quite a paroxism for fear that the next Con- ,
gross will charter a National Bank, and ex- j
horts the party of which its apostacy has made j
It a member, to arrest suzh a dreadful calami- j
ty by re-electing VVm. Schley to the Chief Ma- !
gistracy of Georgia,—Can it be possible that ! t
that print entertains such a contemptible opi i- |
ion of the" intelligence of Geoigia, as to sup- i ,
pose that it can pursuade the people that th e I:
election of Mr. Schley will prevent such ap
/hing, or that the election of Mr. Gilmer will j
secure its Charter? (
What we ask has the election of Governor (
of a State to do with the chartering of a Na- (
tional Bank? 1= the “Standard of Union”
ignoiant of the fact that the delegation to the f
next Congress has been already elected in j
Georgia, and that the result of the election for
Governor can have no bearing upon that ques- j
tion whatever? Or does it hope by endeav
wring to connect that question with the pre- t
■sent contest and to arouse anew the prejudi- •
dices of a people who have been but too fatally ‘
•gulled ou that subject, to succeed in elevating {
their Candidate o office? If so we opine it ,
will fall far short of its aim. The people of j <
Georgia are becoming daily more and more j 1
convinced that the monstrous tales which have !
been repeated by the administration prints re- )
lative to the corruptions of the old Bank, were ,
- p° li,ic . al cffect - And thf *y now feel i
the effects of their folly in r
aiding to put down an institution which the c
“ greatest and best” pronounced insolvent and
■corrupt, and which the fawning, crouching s
sycophant who promised “ to follow in his foot
steps” has recently made the deposite of the g
National treasure—What then must the peo
pie conclude if it be true that the government
has again made this institution the depositing
of the public money ? r
The conclusion is irresistable that this act
of the administration either fixes indelibly up- (
on Gcn’l. Jackson the charge of falsehood, or
subjects Mr. Van Buren to the imputation of
placing the public treasure in an institution
which he believes unsafe. s
. But we are digressing we will now return to
the Gubernatorial canvass, and admit for a mo
ment that the election of Governor may be p
connected with the Bank question, and see how i
much the Standard will profit by the connexion.
Such has been the known and ttneompromis- c
ing hos tility of Mr. Gilmer to a National Bank, i
that, we did not suppose that even the Stand- e
ard of Union with all the hardihood of its Ed- ‘
itor could summon sufficient audacity to in- t
sinuate, that the success of Mr. G. would have |
any influence in Chartering such an institution. I
In what then docs Mr. Gilmer differ from i ‘
Mr. Schley, in nothing so far as the Bank ; ,
question is concerned—except that the former ! ’
has always opposed it from a conscientious con- I '
viction of its unconstitutionally, while the lat-1'
ter has been drawn into the opposition by his ' j
servile subserviency to Jackson. I (
We have received the first No. of the Bruns- i 1

The Editor in a spirited address to his pat- i (
Tons, disclaims any intention of meddling in j 1
politics. 1
Among the Whig Statesmen in Congress, 1
who forewarned the administration party of
he present unhappy condition of things, was
Mr. Binney of Philadelphia. The following
is an extract of a speech delivered by that dis
tinguished gentleman in the House of Repre
sentatives in January, 1834 :— Louisville Jour
nal.
“Sir, the projectof the Secretary of the Trea
sury astonishes me—it has astonished the
country. It is here that we find a pregnant
source of the present agony—it is, in the clear
ly avowed design to bring a second time, upon
this land the curse of an unregulated, uncon
trolled State bank paper currency.—We are
again to see the drama, which already, in the
course of the present century, has passed be
fore us and closed in ruin. I f the project shall
be successful, we are again to see the paper
missiles shooting in every direction through
the country—a derangement of all values—
a depreciated circulation—a suspension of
specie payments —then a further extension of
the same detestable paper—a still greater de
preciation, with failures of traders and failures
of banks in its train--to arrive at last at the
same point from which we departed in 1817.
Suffer me to recall to the recollection of the
House a few more of the striking events oi
that day. The first Bank of the United States
expired in March, 1811. Between the Ist oi
January, 1811, and the close of the year 1811,
.more than one hundred new banks were es
tablished,to supply this more uniform and bet
<ter .currency. For ten millions of capital call
.ed in by that bank, twenty millions of capital,
so called, were invested in these. I n the place
of five and a half millions, about the amount of
.circulation in notes of that bank withdrawn,
twenty.two millions were pushed out. Then
came a suspension of specie payments, in Au
gust and September, 1814. As an immediate
consequence of this suspension, the circulation
of the country, in the course of fifteen months,
•increased fifty per cent., or from forty five to
sixty-eight millions of dollars ; and the fruit
of this more uniform currency was the failure
,of innumerable traders, mechanics, and even
farmers ; of one hundred and sixty-five banks,
with capital amounting to thirty millions of
dollars ; and a loss to the United States alone,
in the negotiation of her loans, and in the re- ■
ceipt of bankrupt piper, to an amount exceed
jng four millions of dollars.”
The Milton Spectator complains that one of
its subscribers, Thomas Benton by name, has
absconded, and left his subscription unpaid.
Lynchburg Virginian.
We do not wonder at it, Aman with such
a name has no inducement to be honest.— lb.
No yellow boys glitter through the “inter
stices of the people’s purses,” as Mr. Benton
sagely predicted, though perhaps a few notes
may lie seen sticking out of some “folks’s” cra
vats.- Ib.
The currency is getting “better” and “bet
tel.” If it keep improving as it has done for
the last two weeks, it will soon get to such a
high pitch of excellence that it will be nearly
as good as a promise.— Ib.
Why did not Col. Johnson ship some of his
*yellow boys’ to the Bank of the Metropolis to
assist it i * the crisis? Docsnot that bank re
ceive the Colonel’s spurious “coinage” on de
posit ?— lb.
The Globe predicted, that the pet banks,
with Reuben AL Whitney at their head, would
cause the gold to “shine through the interstices
jof every man’s purse.” The pets howevei
j have broken, and Reuben’s face has been shin
. ing through the interstices of the grates of
.'jail where he was caged for debt.— lb.

1 this metal to be used internally.— Balt. Chron.
■ Money may no doubt be verv good for some
I diseases. We are told that Mr. Benton once
■ applied bank notes to his throat. Perhaps he
. thought them good for the quinsy.— lb.
The Sr. Louis Argus calls Benton a “God
like man.” TTe suppose the Editor was
thinking of that portion of scriptue, which says,
that “the son of man shall come like a thief in
the night.’'—Louisville Journal.
“Mr. Aan Buren will tread in the footsteps
ot Gen. Jackson, and the same results will
follow. —Eastern Argus.
Very likely. General Jackson had his nose
pulled.— lb.
Every Postmaster in the United States is
now a deposite Bank. When it is remembered,
that about one hundred of the Postmasters
have already'gone to the penitentiary for mail
robbery, and that they are still flocking to that
great receptacle at the rate of two or three per
month, the public can perhaps form a tolerably
' correct idea as to the safetv of the denos
ites.—2*.
The rumor, which we received from Nash
ville, of Gen. Jackson’s having fallen from his
horse, and being speechless, was incorrect.
The General is speechless upon the subject of
his promised refutation of Judge White’s testi
mony, but can talk loud enough upon most
other subjects.— lb.

self will go by steam.”— Buffalo Whig.

Full of what 1 Os rags? If the Govern
ment has any thing else, why was its late hum
ble and supplicatory Circular sent forth to the
public creditors, soliciting their indulgence
until the next meeting of Congress ?— lb.
“Mr. Van Buren’s words have never a double
meaning.”— Globe.
For a general rule they have not even a
single meaning.— lb
Friend Haynes, of the Standard, says that
he “will talk to Mr. Gilmer like a Booh.” Will
it be after the fahison of the Bible, or accord
ing to the pattern of Gulliver.—Col. Enq.
The steamer John Linton, from Natchito
ches, brings a rumor that Col. Teal. of the Tex- '
ian army, has been assassinated by some delud
ed wretch in his own marquee. It is also re
ported that Gen. Johnson, has resigned his
commission in consequence of the insubordina
tion of the army under his command.— lb.
Suit against Amos Kendall.— Stockton & I
Stokes have a large clajm against the Govern
ment for mail contracts, which Kendal], from
I personal or political motives, refused to pay.
• They applied by petition to the Senate for re
dress. Kendall wrote to the committee, re-
: questing them to place no confidence in what
i the petitioners may say, but leave it in his
, hands.—The Committee treated him with con
! tempt, and by law ordered the Solicitor of
the Treasury to examine the accounts, and a
ward to Stockton & Stokes what may ho hon
estly due them ; also, by law, ordered Amos)
Kendall on that award to pay the amount forth I
with. This he refused to do, and the Plaintiffs j
applied to the District Court to compel Ken- j
, dull by a mandamus to pay the money. O.i |
; the return of the writ, the functionary denied i
the power of the Court to compel him or the !
President or any of the heads of Departments )
to answer, and fortified his position by an opin
ion of Mr. Butler, the Attorney General, that
the Court had no powdfover him.
Under this color of law and official protec
tion are citizens swindled out of their just
claims by a public servant, in direct opposition
to the unanimous will of Congress. This is a
sample of the misgovernment of this country,
where the honest creditors of the Government
are d’frauded by the corruptionists entrusted
w ith power. They consider themselves above
all law, and beyond the reach of public opin
ion.—New YorZr Star.
Prediction verified. — What Mr. Adams pre
dicted in 1834, is in full train of accomplish- )
ment. “His chosen State banks,” said that I
enlightened statesman, ‘his chosen State banks j
are to be his depositories and engines to res- (
tore a metallic currency.—With what intuitive I
sagacity are the means adapted to the end! )
Sir, his State banks would land the nation— I
they are already hurling it—into universal I
bankruptcy.”—What have we now? All the I
treasury banks in New York have set the ex
ample of suspending payment: the other banks
have pursued the same course, and the exam
ple will doubtless be universally followed.
Such is the result of the great experiment.
A Rumor. — It is said that the Hon. Wm-
C. Rives has written a letter recently to Mar
tin Van Buren, informing him that he must al
ter his course, and disregard his pledge of
“following in the footsteps” of the departed
Chief, or he will find himself in a very short
time, in a small minority—that he must aban-
■ don the Gold Humbug and Treasury Order,
or that he, the Hon. would be forced into the
opposition.
We know not uhat credit may be anaclretf
to this rumor; but of one thing thine can be no
mistake—that the little Senator was deeply
cut by the contemptuous treatment which his
bill received from the executive, and that he is
open-mouthed in his condemnation of that
, treatment—and that some of his very near kin,
t and many of his intimate friends, are as vio
( lent as any Whigs in denouncing Bouton, re
■ probating the usurpation in reference to the
( j specie Circular, and otherwise cavilling at the
. I wisdom of Van and his culinary advisers.

Extract of a letter to tho editor of the Charles
ton Mercury, dated
St. Augustine, June I, IBS 7 .
The Indians come into Tampa Bay very
slowly, and indeed it is very doubtful whether
they can be all removed to their destined abode
before the fall of the year. The numerous I
herds of cattle and horses they possess, rend
ers time indispensable to collect them, besides,
tho very respectable rations at present issued
to them from the U. S. stores, induces me ra
tionally to conclude, ttiat they- are by no
means anxious to emigrate. Peace we crave,
plenty they have; so let. it be .until tho fall,
when they must and shall go. Paddy Carr,
also his Sergeant, Wm. Burnett, are here.
They brought in about 150 head of cattle and j
mules for sale, which they captured from the
Seminoles. Paddy Carr is a dark Indian a- !
bout 40 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 i dies,
handsomely proportioned, and muscular in his
person, very intelligent in conversation, and
has no doubt received a good education. He
speaks our language with fluency, is correct
tn his deportment and rather polished in his
manners; the latter acquirement has obtained
for him admittance into some of our most res
pectable families—he is fond of the society of
the ladies, and loses no opportunity to visit
them—in fact, for an Indian, he is r. raraavis.
—They both belong to the Regiment of friend
ly Creeks now in tho service of the U. S.

In the sebr. Hellen, Ashby, 13 days from j
Matamoras, we observe with great pleasure,

these two vessels were seized by the Mexicans
and their crews and passengers imprisoned at

MUTINY AT THE TEXIAN CAMP.
As I have observed in my former communi
cotions, the Texian volunteers cantoned at the
camp upon La Baca, or Navidad, have been
very much dissatisfied at the state of inaction
in w hich they have been kept for the l.ist.t welve
months, and felt very anxious either to advance
into Mexico, or obtain their discharge. 'Hie
Texan army is daily increasing in num
bers, by the constant arrival of volunteers, and
amounts now to 2,400 men, in the best order
and discipline ; but the government is laboring
under great difficulties to keep them together.
In fact, the soldiers begin to suffer from the
want of provisions and pay; and under such
circumstances, no wonder the follow ing occur
i rence has taken place.
On the sth ultimo, some unwillingness was i
I manifested by a number of the volunteers to at
! tend to their duties on the pretence that they
were refused what government had promised
them. On the following day several of them
refused to assemble on parade, and was conse
duently put under guard, mid confined in irons,
by order, as it was reported, of the command
ing General, A- Sidney Johnson. Ths same
night, about five hundred men, armed with I
muskets and bayonets, proceeded to the guard ;
tent, and demanded of the captain os’the guard )
the immediate release of tho prisoners; he re- |
fusing tc grant this, the mutineers entered the )
tent and knocked ofi’the irons oi the mon con- )
fined there. Communication of this movement 1
was qtickly conveyed to General Johnson, )
wUuas still.coufiueffto. biatenttbut jn_d.es-J
pito of his w'ound, he mounted his horse, rode j
to the artillery corps, and ordered a parade of'
the various companies. The camions were 1
loaded with grape and canister, and drawn I
up so as to rake the whole line ofthe mutineers.
General Johnson then unhesitatingly rode up, 1
ordering them to ground their arms immc liatc- '
ly, or to receive the discharge ofthe artillery. :
The mutineers finding their situation rather
unpleasant, cast a look at the artillerymen, and
obnyed the order without murmuring. The
ringleaders (about tw’enty in number) were
then secured and put in irons--the remainder
dispersed to their quarters, and order and dis
cipline were restored in the camp. General
Johnson seldom leaves his tent, In's wound not
permitting it. He has written to the Secretary
of War, either to send him officers to assist in
the command, or to appoint another comman-
I der ; but by this time, General Felix Houston
must have returned to the army.— Cour. Enq.

Money Marker.—l’he interest taken in the' no
vel system, so iar as modern times may go, of
introducing a species of State paper to'replace,
or rather represent tho unpaid debts of the A
merican merchants, has not in the slightest de
gree abated. And the policy of this mode of re
lieving the parties connected with the American
trade becomes hourly more questionable. We
| have a'ways doubted the policy of President
| Jackson's crusade against the United States
I Bank; the first effect lias been to disarangc the
whole of our commercial interests, the second
will be to throw many of our manufacturing
classes sutof employment and create, much dis
tress, which the reaction upon the commercial
money market ot the United States is probably
very likely to increase. Our able evening con
temporary, the Standard, has the following, with
which we cordially agree:
“ H’o think, however, that the time has now i
arrived for us to remind the public of a proposi- l
I tion repeated 100 limes in this journal—namely, :
I the proposition that there is not above grjund I
i in the world, one-half) one-quarter, or one-tenth j
of the gold mid silver necessary to carry on do-;
tnestic commerce and external trade, upon its I
present scale throughout tho earth. The pro
position we have always accompanied by the
corrollary, that no one Ration can even attempt
to make gold and silver the Exclusive inst'm
ment of its domestic commerce without deran
ging trade universally, and disturbing the hap
, piness of all mankind.”
We believe, on the authority of manj’ expe
rienced monetary men, that the corollary of the
Standard cannot be easily controverted.
London, Saturday Evening, April 29.
Much more anxity has prevailed in the mer
cantile classes more immediately connected
' with the American trade, nconsequer.ee of the
j commercial advices from New York, of the Bth
I instant, by the packet ship Independence, and
i which were received this morning. However
I anxious the state of commercial affairs at New
) York may have rendered the merchant on this
I side c-f the Atlantic, it is admitted that it has
I been anticipated by precautionary . measures,
which will, at any rate for a time relieve the
pressure here. The difficulties in New A'ork (
and the other principal cities f the Union, have I
however, proved to be greater than some very )
sanguine parties anticipated.
The failures since the commencement of this
commercial panic amount to 88, and the amount
of the liabilities of the unfortunate parties are
to be calculated at from j£8,000,000, to .£9,000,-
000. It is also confidently stated by parties who
have received advices, that some of these firms I
had been driven to the necessity of suspending I
their payments, in order to avoid the continued I
payment of an enormous rate of interest to en-1
able them to meet their engagements, and that!
many of them would eventually pay in full >
Great difficulties existed in obtaining bonds )
from the Bank cf United States, and as that es- !
taSr.shment required a premium of 7 per cent,
none but the most opulent firms could bear the
enormous charge of that, mode of remittance,
and of course, the weaker houses suffered much
I more under the general pressure which was con
i siderably augmented by the receipt of the advi
l ces from this country of the 11th ult. nt New
York. Another general meeting of the mer- j
chants had taken place m New York, in conse- |
quence of the bad prospects of commercial as- |
fairs ; but it does not appear that any measure
of importance for their mutual relief w<.s deci
ded upon.
Some few letters arc very sanguine upon
the results ofthe then tryi g period, upon what
grounds it is however difficult to imagine,
since, although these newly-creuted American
bonds have nearly a year to run, there must,
be a great reaction in (he commercial affairs
ofthe United States, to enable the U. S. Bank
to meet them without creating a future pres
sure in money market there. We find that
almost every letter received bears a different
tone upon the existing state of affairs, but ma
| ny of them concur in the statement, that it is i
i not expected that the Bai k of the United j
I .States will extend the issue of these new bonds j
i over the amount of one million and a balfster- |
ling.
Some objection has bfen made to the now {
bond ofthe United Slates Bank to day, which !
have been received by this arrival, i-a conse- j
quence of their having been made payable to
order, and not to bearer, which has rather
checked the desire to deal in them: it is obvi- .
ous tint temporary speculators on the Stock
Exchadge are not desirous of incurring the
responsibility of endorsing a species of paper
that, after all, is founded upon questionable
principles, since upon every bargain an en
dorsement would be required, that would op. n
a field to compound liabilities, that yet hav
not been rightly calculated upon. The bonds
payable to bearer have been sold to a small {
arm,-..mt at 94 1-2 to 95, and .Morris Bai king
Company at 98 to 98 12.

likely soon to beiongam, the bankers certain- I
ly will, rtaufioiisi at first, hut gradually to r I
greater and greter extent, place their spare i i
tifcln ill thes < American bills, unless, Mr. |
> Biddle sho Id plav his games ill, or do some
thing to shake the credit of the Bank ofthe
1 United States, which is, however, seei: g his
former adroit conduct and sagacity, entirely,
it; our opinion, out of the question. Hie A
merican Bank not, like the Bank of England,
’! a government by rotation under which all men,
' fit or unfit, rise by turns to the chief crontrol
I of their affairs, but they select a man of talent
fit fortheir purpose, and having found him so,
they keep him at their head and suffer no oili
er object to share his attention with that of
their advancement, ard prosperity.
In this respect we stand, it is to be feared,
in the game that is to be played, at a great dis
advantage. If it comes, as it now inevitably
must in the common course of events, to a tri-
I a! of skill between the two banks, our “parlor,
we suspect, will be no match tor Mr. Biddle.
The abuse directed against this gentleman in
the New York journals is alone a proof of his
great merit, so fin as the advancement of the
interests of his bank is concerned. Those acts
of his are some of them blameable and injuri
ous in a national point of’view, but as they in
crease the profits of the concern, and as the
United States Bank owes no gratitude now to
the Government, as ours does, for the grant of
a monopoly, the dilectors and proprietors on
| whom he depends are satisfied and gratefu',
j and have reason to be so.
From the N. Y. Evening Star, Jane 3.
i It will be seen by the following from the
London Courier, (h it intelligent men b .'i.-ve
that all the commercial embnrrasments could
be finally arranged between the Bank of'Ei'g
land and the Bank of (he United States, which
is doubtless the fact. The trade and exchan
ges ofthe whole world cou d be safely regula
ted and brought to a prouer standard by a con
cert of action and mutual confidence b■.■tween
those two important institutions:—
“Under existing circumstances, and consid
ering tho complete autiiliili.tion of the machin
ery by which the trade with America has been
carried on, it. occurs to us, that the Bank of
England might advantageously come to some
Understanding with the Bank of the United
States for facilitating trade in the m an time.
Were tho Bank ofthe United States to give
credits for the purchase of goods in England,
our export trade would immediately revive;
and the advantage of this to America would
1 be, that the price of cotton, the great article of
! American export, and which must necessarily
be low when our manufactures are depressed,
would be immediately advanced. The Bank
of England might give facilities to the holders
of such credits; and were it once known that
some arrangement was come to, on the sub
ject,between these two great institutions, new
) vigor would be given to the trade of Doth coun
j tries; and industry would be resumed from
I the state of prostration and paralysis under
I which it is now laboring. Perhaps some oth
■ er means may be suggested for supplying that
i temporary aid to the great, interests of both
| countries; but we have not heard of a y that
jis so likely to be effectual. An arrangement
I of the kind now suggested would make no ad
dition to the issues ofthe Bank ; and would ra
ther, as it appearsto US, tend to prevent the is
sues of doubtful and troublesome (it we may
apply the word) paper.”
At his residence in Clark county, on the 31st
of May last, Capt. Fryar Robertson, in his se
venty-seventh year, Capt. Robertson was a
native of Virginia, where he early enlisted in the
cause of his country, serving five years as a
soldier of the Revolution—Some time after the
war of Independence was over, he emigrated to
Georgia, where he has resided ever since, and
enjoyed in a high degree the confidence and
friendship of all who knew him, and the affec
tions ofa numerous family, who are left to mourn
his loss. Capt. Robertson having devoted the"
earlier part of his life to the service of his coun
try. the prime of manhood to the care of his fam
ily, dedicated his latter years to the service of
1 his God, and the cultivation of piety, he has
I been for several years an exemplary member of
[ the Baptist Church.
j The soldiers ofthe Revolution are fast leaving
| the stage of action, a few more years and we
J shall know them no more. The few who yet
j survive the grave, remain to remind us ofthe
I price ofour liberties, and increase in our esteem
I as they decrease ia number; they receive our
gratitude’while they- live, and we reverence their
memories when dead.

a KJ AV ING received a number of

Brick Machine, invented by-Calvin
Waterman, and now in successful operation in
this place, I take this method of answering
them—l invite all who feel disposed to purchase
■ rights, to come and see the operation ot the inn
chine, and if there be any one who says he is
disappointed in his expectations, I bind mysel
to pay the expense ofhis trip. Ido not expect
to sell a right to any one without their first hav
ing seen the machine ; but in order to afford an
idea of its value, I annex the following certifi
cates, one of them signed by two of the most
experienced brick masons' in the Bout^r
.States. In my absence from Macon,theigjj tora
of the Messengar will act as my aiy t {j O rj 2C( j

VZe having'witnesseu-the performance o f M r .
n,:w Brick Machine, invented bv
Calvin Waterman, now in operation in this
place, take pleasure in recommending it to the
public. The tact of its performance is its best
recommendation. We timed it, and find that with
stew moulds and inexperienced hands, it made
an the rate ot two thousand three hundred and
sixty-eight brick per hour. By moulding ten
hours in the day, it would therefore turn out
twenty-three thousand six hundred per day
It requires six hoys to bear off’, and four to sand
the moulds, tee.—together with four grown
men. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to
make the above named quantity of the most
beautiful brick per day.

j oderick L. Smith’s new Brick-making Machine,
[ just, put into operation in this place ; and feci no
| hesitation in pronoucing it a great and useful
improvement on any other method of brick mak
ing I have ever seen, both as to the quality of
the brick and expedition in making. By request
I timed the machine for halfan hour; the result
of that trial shows that with 14 hands the ma
chine will turn out of beautiful and well tem
pered brick 2368 in an hour, or about 40 to the
minute.
