drive me, in the exercise of so important a
suffrage, to elevate to, or sustain in office, a
man who can do the Republican cause so little
good, after doing it a great deal of harm.
The reason for thus choosing is this : —Both
men stand on the same ground tn most res.
pects. Mr. Van Buren not only has pZeiZgerZ
(and this we are authorized to consider not
very binding,) to carry out the Divorce, but
occupies a position at home and abroad that
requires him to adhere to that policy. I doubt
whether he has virtue enough as a politician
to stand there, if by changing he could retain
his place. Some of hts friends now say, the
sub-treasury is, at this time, in full operation,
thereby showing, that a subterfuge, a name to
miscall things, a shadow of good without the
substance, may satisfy him, if his convenience
is suited.
Mr. Clay has such relation to a U. States
Bank as leaves him no alternative but to rise or
fail withit. In voting for Mr. Van Buren, I
should think I had done the country the least
possible harm, and very little good.
He is Hot my choice, and if I be permitted
'here to volunteer a question for myself. I would
‘answer it and say, were it possible toplace
him before the country, I would now, as on a
'former occasion, choose George M. Troup,
‘and next to him, before any other, John C.

'The Election.
This important event is now so near at hand,
that we scarcely deem it necessary to add any
thing to what we have previously said on the
subject, for we do not know that any thing in
addition, can be urged, to induce those of our
friends who are indifferent, if there are any such,
to make a decided effort on Monday, for the
success of those principles, for which the State
Rights party of Georgia, has been so zealously,
struggling for years. Indeed so far as most of
our readers are concerned, any thing that we
’may say, will be of no avail, as our paper cannot
reach them until the battle shall have been
fought. To those however whom it will
reach before, we purpose a few remarks.
(To such we say the importance of this elec-
be too frequently and seriously im
minds—Upon it depends the
for which you have
l-sy'Uz/J-JWKtough all the past history of
' .'3 and with many, since the
' -Ae .t'the government. By the result
Q; you are to determine whether
■ft'orgia is to be bound to the Car of Van Bu
renism, with all the corruptions and intrigues
which have ■characterised the administration of
the government for the last six years. Its re
sults are to tell to the surrounding States,
whether Georgians wiil lend their aid and for
mer proud name, to sustain an administration
Whose chief considers it his proudest boast, to
follow in the footsteps of his predecessor. A
predecessor who trampled down the ramparts
of the constitution of his countjy, hallowed by
the blood of thousands of martys to the cause of
•liberty, and sacrificed the most sacred princi
ples of the government at the shrine of his un
holy ambition ; a predecessor who violated his
plighted faith to the people of the United States,
by hurling from important offices, the most
worthy citizens, to make room for brawling
partisans, regardless of any merit save their
devotion to his cause.
Against such men and such principles are you
cutlet upon lb vote on Monday next, and we
invoke yoti by all the ties which bind you to
our Sacred institutions-—to your house-hold
gods, and to liberty itself*—not to prove unfaiih
ful stewards of V.ie high behests w hich have
been committed to your keeping. Let no man
stand off indiffeieat, and say—l have no inter
est in all these things,—but k t him rather go
forth, and zealously discharge those duties
which he owes alike to his country, himself,
his children ,and his God. With such a spirit
animating your bosoms, the advocates of mis
rule, corruption, and Violated faith, however
solemnly plighted, will quail before your uni
ted efforts, and your principles will again be
triumphant—Georgia will be what she was in
lhedays of her Troup, and her course will be
onward and upward to the high destiny which
awaits her! Sec therefore, that you halt not,
nor linger on the way in the discharge of du
ties. so replete with important results to your
country,your brethren,and the remotest poste
rity.
OO" In this clay’s paper will be found the re.
plies.of Col. King and Major Cooper to the
Franklin and Taliaferro Committees, and the
reply of the Hon. Win, C. Dawson to the
Hon. John C. Calhoun; for all of which wc
ask a careful perusal.
(KT The failure of the lust AtigUMa Mail,
the replies of Cols. Dawson, King, and Major
Cooper, together with the almost perfectly bar.
ren state of our exchange papers, must be our
apology to our readers, for the absence of the
current news of the day, if indeed there is
any. When the election shall have passed,
we shall be able to make ample amends for
that deficiency of news which politics has ex
cluded in a very great degree from our paper.

T«»e Banner and Resumption.
In the “ Barnier” of the Bth instant, we found
the following paragraph, under the head of
Bank resumption
“ A general resumption lias now taken place
in all the Atlantic, and several of the West
ern States, and the people may begin to feli
citate themselves that the day of doubt, and
distrust, and gloom, has gone by. And all
•his has been accomplished, not only without
the aid and in opposition to the will of the
United States Bank, but With the Sub-Treasu
ry plan in (yll operation. What a commenta
ry' does this faC! furnish upon the doleful pro
phecies of bank orators and bank aristocrats !
We were told that without a renewal of the
charter of the United States Bank no resump,
tion could take place—particularly if the Go
vernment persisted in demanding hat'd money
for its dues. Rum to our commerce, o’tr ma
nufactures, our agriculture, were to follow the
measures of the Administration ! But )o !
and behold I those measures have been persis
ted in, and the country has continued to reco
ver its prostrate energies, until it has reacheci
the point of a sound and healthful prosperity.”
Believing that our neighbor was entitled to
much credit for the important discovery, “ tha 1
the Sub. Treasury had been the cause of the
Resumption,” [and certainly we had a right to
draw such a deduction from the above para
graph,] and thinking that tho retiring modesty
of our inventive neighbor, would probably be
an insurmountable barrier to his receiving that
c ’
meed of praise which he so justly deserved, j
we lent our feeble aid to make the discovery j
known, that our neighbor’s merits might not
go unrewarded.
For our kind offices in the premises, he re
plied in his last by giving us a lecture upon
wit—or rather various “ truisms,” as he is
pleased to term them; charging us with “gross
misrepresentation,” and in the excess of his
•‘pure charity’ [wo are glad to heat that it. is
pure] has ventured to admonish us.
We were not conscious that we had perpe
trated any “ wit” at oms neighbor’s expense
nor should wo have suspected it even now, but
for the evident manner in which he seems to
writhe under our article ; and we regret that
our neighbor—however pointless he affects to
think our shafts—had not given us an addi.
floral “ truism” in his lecture, which is, that
he who feels most deeply the shafts of well
pointed wit or ridicule, always affects to see
the least pith in them. And wo cannot but
commiserate the situation of our neighbor,
with his sound views of the force of w it, and
those who should attempt it, when he attempts
to direct its arrows.
He has contented himself with the broad
charge of “gross misrepresentation,’’ without
showing in what respect we misrepresented
him. If in giving him credit for the discove- 1
ry of such an important principle in the Sub-
Treasury, we done him injustice, we regret it
extremely, for we are not disposed to place the
well earned laurels of another on the brow of
our neighbor, however partial toward him ;
and we will, if the editor will inform us who
is entitled to the credit of the diseovery, make
the “ amende honorable” with pleasure. XV e
can but believe that this is the only respect in
which we could have misrepresented him, for
we are quite sure that the Banner—the very
mirror of truth [?] will not pretend that our de
ductions are unfair or illogical. If so, we
must ascube it to the obtusity of our intellects,
and not to any want of perspicuity in the ar
tide itself.
For the admonition which bis ‘pure charily'
has induced the editor to offer lor our benefit,
we thank him much, and hope that his charity
is not feigned. Nevertheless, we must verify
the old adage, ofjhe thanklesness of the office
of giving advice, and assure our neighbor,
when we think we need his, we will most as
suredly seek it, —having as wo do (for who
could question his) the utmost confidence in
his sincerity and Zrut7i(?) in some things— and
in others, as wo never like to flatter our neigh. '
bois for their extraordinary powers or profi- !
ciency, we w ill not now further depose.
The editor however cautions us not to at- ■
tempt to prove that the Defaulting Receivers
of government moneys, a list of which we
published two weeks ago, arc unable or un
willing to pay. for fear we may be involved in
a serious difficulty, because some of the monies
were received while the “Pet Bank” system
jvas in operation. Verily we have nothing to
fear frWh such a result, tor the Pet Bank sys
tem was a bantling of the Editor’s own party,
whose merits the worthy and veritable Editor
has repeatedly ei her dire.uly or indirectly en.
dorsed ; and little as the Editor may think of
it, wc want no better evidence than that fact
affords us, of the insufficiency of the present
“ bantling” of the party, the Sub-Treasury, to
answer the ends w hich they assert it wili.
From the Greenville Mountaineer.
Greenville, Aug. 30, 1838.
Sir — In tho course of my remarks, on Tues
day las', I stated that the demand of the public
dues, in gold and silver only, had first heed pre
seated in Congress as a distinct and specific
proposition, byCol. Benton. Aon interrupt,
od me, and said that my statement was false
(and, I understand, added, that I knew it to be
so.) This occurred at a dinner given to you,
and I could, therefore, do no more than to say
that such language was unprovoked, and that
1 could not, and would not, submit to it from
any one. 1 had hoped that when tho excite,
meat of the moment had passed away, it would
have been withdrawn As it was not, 1 have
no alte-rnative left but to enqujre oi you xi both
er voti intended to use the language attributed
to you, atid whether or not 1 am to legaid it
as withdrawn or retracted.
Very respectfully,
A our obedient scrvai t.
W. THOMPSON, Jr.
Hon. J. C. Calhoun.
Fokt Him., Sept. 2, 1833.
Sir— I received, yesterday, your note of
die 30;h August.
You commence bv giving votir understand
in<r of the oeciir.ci.ee on Tuesday last, to
which vuiir note r. f is. b -f.-re you ask the
quest ions to which you de.ue an answer;
I shall fidlow your example by giving
mine belore I answer.
After presenting my vi. ws to t.ie audience
r , dost ts. ■ union of the Government and the
Bm.k, 1 pioceed:d to reply t . the olj.'cliuns
uhiih I hud heard alleged from varmus quar
ters against the separ.dto- ;an i, among mb-
th' preposition to separate had
| originated with Col. Benton, and was what is
called one of his humbugs. This I directly
contradicted, and asserted to be lintrue, stating
at the same time the facts on which I rested
my assertion. This, in your reply, as I under
stand you,you positively denied, and asserted,
that in spite of all that had been said, he was
the author of the proposition; and, in r roof,
read a proposition that Col. Benton made in
tho Senate, in 183 G, for the separation. It
was then I requested you to give war, when
I asked you if you did not know that Gen.
Goidou, of V irginia, had made a nropositon in
the House of Representatives for the srpara
lion in 1834, two years before Col. Benton
had made his; and that Condy Raguet had
suggested it before Gen. Gordon had made
his proposition ; and that I had; a! a still earli
er period, declared in my place in the Senate,
that if no ono else moved the separation, 1
would. To each of these questions you an
swered yes, in succession, as I propounded
them, on which I drew the inference I did,
i and which irresistibly followed under the im
| pression. I made it; that is, with the knowl
edge of those facts, you had asserted that Col.
Benton was the first to propose it, or in other
words that the proposition to separate the Gov
ernment from the Banks originated with him.
But I now understand from your note, that, in
this I was misuikau, ai)f l that instead of lite ,
bread assertion I supposed, you made the
more narrow one, “thai L i! " demand of the
public dues io gold and sitver had been first
presented in Congress, as a dts.'.iiict and spe
cific proposition, by Col. Benton.
It is not at all necessary, in reference to the
point between us, to enquire what precise <
meaning you intended to attreli to these words •
or whether you are not mistaken, when taken
even in their most restricted sense. It is suf
ficient to say, that the inference 1 drew and
the expression to which you object, was drawn
on the suppositon, that you had directly con
tradicted m unqualified terms my assertion,
that the proposition for the separation had not
originated with Col. Benton, and of course
the expression is not applicable to tho more
restricted preposition,which I now understand
you had used.
Respectful!} J. C. CALHOUN.
Hon XV. Thompson.
The above letter of Mr. Calhoun, disclaim
ing the application of his offensive expressions
“to the proposition, as he now understands
me to have used it,” puts an end to the contro
versy between us, so far as it was of a person
al character. It is due to myself, however,
to say, that the language recited in my letter
to Mr. Calhoun, was verbatim the language
which I used, and if otherwise understood at
first by Mr. Calhoun, it was so explained by
me at the time, and Mr. Calhoun then replied
to that explanation—withholding, however,
then, that explanation of his own language,
which ho now so properly makes. I was dis
cussing separately the two features of the Sub-
Treasury Bill, and whilst remarking upon the
feature demanding gold and silver only for
government dues, I said that it had first been
submitted to Congress us a separate end dis
tinct proposition by Col. Benton in 1836 ; and
on being interrupted by Mr. C., I also staled
that Gen. Gordon had submittted it before, hut
m connexion w ith another feature—the place
an I mode of keeping of the public revenue
but that the distinct and isolated question of
lhe rejection of Bank notes for government
dues, was first presented by Col. Benton, in
proof of which I read the following act, intro
duced by Col. Benton m June, 1836 ;
“Be it enacted, tee., that bank notes and p i
per currency of every description shall cease
to be received or offered in payment on account
of the U. S. or of the Post Office, or in fees
in the Courts of the U- S. as follows.- of
less denomination than s>2o, none after the
third of March, 1839, of less douonmiation J
than SSOO, none after the 3d day of March
1840, of less denomination than SI,OOO, none
after the 3d of March 1841 ; anti none of any
denomination from and after the 3d day of
March, 1842.”
I did not supnose that Mr, Calhoun could
have understood me as contradicting his state- (
meat, as to Gen. Gordon’s measure in any off
ensive sense, er as questioning bis veracity,
or he would not have replied by a retort of the
insult. I very well knew that Gen. Gordon
had introduced his measure in Febuary, 1835,
and not in 1834, as Mr. Calhoun states it. I
repeat then, in lhe very words which I uttered
at the Barbecue, without retraction or modifi
cation, that the propsition to receive gold anil
silver only in payment of public dues, as a dis
tinct and specific proposition, was first made
by Col. Benton. Mr. Calhoun understood I
me otherwise. I regret it, as an uupleas- !
ant difficulty grew cut of this miscoacep- :
(ion.
I have deemed it my duty to make this full
statement, as it has been sedulously reported
that I had letracted what I said on that orca
sion. 1 have retracted ho single fact that I
stated ; and I may add, that in all I leave said
anti written, on this and every other political
question, I. aim not conscious of any single
mistake of an impmtaut fact. 1 might have
gone farther, and stateiL what I supposf d al
most every man m the W.ited States knew,
that Col. Bouton was the author, the first to
suggest this gold and silver policy.—l she was
not, why has ha been called “humbug Benton,”
“hard money Benton ?” Why are gob! coins
called “Benton drops?” 11 G on. Gord in is
the true father of the policy, they should have
been called Gordon drops. But to the proof.
In a speech made iu lhe Senate oft the 21st
, March, 1834. the following passages occur,
I with fifty others .ike them. Col. B■•to i s.ial,
“In the first place he was one of thos.i who
believed that the Government oftlre U. Stales
, was intended to ben hard-money government
—that it was the intention and the declaration
of the Constitution of the United States, that
the Federal cUrttn'cy should consistt of gob!
and silver, and that there is ho power in Con
gress to issue, or to itntii >i ize any cmnmtiiy
of individuals to issue, any species of Feder.;!
paper currency whatever.” “The authmi'y
given to Congress to coin money, is an author
ity to stamp metallic money, and not an au
thority for issuing slips of paper, containing
promises to pay mono;.*.”
Again, he says. ‘'Gold and silver is tho only
thing recognized as money.” "it. is the mo
ney and the only money of the Constitution.
Every historic recollection, as well as every
phrase in the Constitution, and every early
statute on the subject, confirms the idea.”
“They (the framers of the Constitution) de
termine to have no more federal paper money,
'['hey created a hard money government- th v
mlended tile now g tvernmtml to recog ;ize no
thing but gold and silver.” These passages
are taken from a very bmg and able speech the
main object of which is to prove the Ultcon
stitulionality and inexpediency of receiving
in file dues of th;; Government any thing but
gold and silver.
This was on the 21st March, 1831. Gan.
Gordon’s Bill was introduced tho 10(11 I'ebiu
ary 1835. Mr. Condy Raguo.t brought bis
proposition Io Washington, as th>» following
extract of a letter from him to Mr. Preston,
shows, in M iy, 1831 •
“ J)car Sir:— Ymir of th? T.h of'
June is at hand. In reference to the matt;’i
alluded to, therein, and as far as my iceollec.
tiou serves m , I did not write to you or Mr.
Calhoun, but communicated with you verbal-
Iv in May, 1831. Iluvi >g failed to receive
Ss js m t U v r tt ft. ( $ ♦
the favourable views of either of you, I
brought the plan to the view of Mr. Lewis,
and several other members of the House of
Representatives from the South, with no bet
ter success, until I found Gen. Gordon who
gave it. a favorable reception.” It will not
now, I trust, be denied that Col. Benton was
the first to advocate, in a speech in Congress,
or to propose as a specifiee ano sepratae meas
ure, the specie feature of the Sub-Treasury
Bill. That feature, without which Mr. Cal
houn says that measure is a mockery. I f
not tin- author of the project of Divorce, he is
the author of that which is regarded as its
great and important feature, it is none the
worse for origin, if it ia a good thing. If it
is as wise and beneficent a measure|as it is
now tnought to be, Benton deserves a statue
of gold, for having had the genius to suggest
and (ho moral courage to adhere to it, in des
pile of more opprobrium and ridicule than any
other one measure ever has received.
Mr. Culnoun, nt the Barbecue, argued
against the Pct Bank system, as my favourite,
i was surprised at this, as the amendment to
the oil! which I proposed in Congress, express
ly forbids the use of the money by the banks,
and in every speech which I have made in
Congress or since I came home, I have repro
bated that system as rhe very worst possible ;
J and in the very speech to which Mr. Calhoun
BN9 replying, have repeated the same thing. I
refused, as Mr. Rives knows, at the last ses
sion, to go for his general deposits Bill, or any
other which should give the use of the public
funds to the Banks. Mr. Calhoun also said,
that tb.e reason of issuing; Treasury Notes was.
that the Government had money on deposite
with the Banks, which it could not get. I
allowed that, at the period of issuing the last
ten millions, the government had only two mil
lions in the Banks, and had drawn warrants
for a large portion of that. How then can it
be said thatjTreastiry ndts were issue cjbecausc
ws bad money in the Banks, which they would
not pay ? I have felt it a duty to myself and
to the people, fd GOake these remarks, us I am
informed that it has industriously propa
gated, that I had retracted statements of facts
which I hud made.
