of Ihe Troup party, the Central Bank Wile wore
at par. From 1832 to 1839, inclusive, except in
1839, the Democratic party had the legislative
power in their own hands; from 1832 to 1839,
the Central Bank bills were at par and equivalent
to specie, except the latter part of 1839—when
the depreciation was about2to 4 percent. Un
der the management of both parties, from its cre
ation, to 1839, as long as the Direction was hon
est, the bills of the Bank were obliged to be at
par. It resulted from the limited powers that
had been given to the Bank under its charter, up
to 1639—the Direction was unauthorised to issue
more tha%dollar for dollar.
We hope it will be borne in mind that the bills
of the Central Bank did not begin to depreciate
until the loiter part of 1839; for it will be seen
the sequel, that from that period, the charter
of the Bank underwent a complete change, and
wbat was before nothing but a loan office, was
then mode a Bank, whose capital not only con
sisted of the specie in its vaults, but every evi
denced Debt U possessed was made Banking

This point is so clear, that “ he who runs may

not err thcreiu.”
But that the people may bo better satisfied
who arc answerable for these things, let us look
into the legislation of 1840 : This year, the
Whigs had the power, and they repealed the act
of 1839, which authorised the issue of notes to
double the amount of the capital stock of the Cen
tral Bank, and though this in time might have
worked a remedy for the evil, as the act of 1839
was in a great measure the cause of it; yet, even
this was not permitted by tho Democratic party
to have a fair trial, lor in 1841, when they were
in power, they repealed the act of 1840, and re
vived the act ot 18^9.

ple, who fool the most, when cur State affairs are
administered badly, can best tell und? r whose

then*. Under McDonald, the countrywas in
auch a depressed condition, that wo oven heard
gome advocate u relief laws.” Under Craw-
ford, we bare been so prosperous as a State,
that we have not heard the first syilablo about a
safer Mg people. But our object in this article,
'* ? *U'to answer honestly and candidly, the question
at its hoad, ami introduce facts to prove what wc
assert. Who ruined our State credit ? should
be asked by every voter; and if ho finds this or
that party guilty,'Wisdifa directs him not to sup
port it.
- Both parties, agree that our financial condition
was impaired by the mismanagement of the Cen
tral Bank and the legislation necessarily connec
ted with it. Tho facts to be ascertained then,
will be few, and happily for the countiy, they are
upon record. During the campaign of 1842, we
^^Mnignafithis question thoroughly, and shall take
' liberty to repeat, perhaps, sorno of the same
expressions we then used.
In 1828, the’Central Bank was created while
ths Troup party was in power, though it received
the warm support of many of the Clark party.
The original charter, however, gavo to the in.
stitution but one solitaiy feature of a Bank prop
er, and that was the power to issue bills. The
Central Bank, as it was originally created, was a
loan office, with tho limited authority to issue but
ONE FAFitR dollar, for one in specie. The
cause of Us creation was the fact that, in 1628,
the Legislature found in the Treasury a surplus
fund, and determined, in preference to suffering it
to remain inoperative, to loan it out to the people.
While it remained as a loan office, it was im
possible with an honest direction, that the hills
should ever depreciate. They could only loan
to the amount of specie they hod in. their'vaults,
and as long as specie was at par the hills of the
Central Bank were its equivalent. But it is use-
i to endeavor to prove that the Central Bank
s always at par under the management

proven. Let not your party feelings and preju-
dices carry ) ou into excess. Do justice to the
party that has proved faithful to you, and reward
those who have been your best friends. To the
Democratic press vve would say, exercise some
magnanimity, and instead of injuring yourselves
by perverting the truth, tell the people, that
George W. Crawford has made a good Gov
ernor, reflected some credit on the State, and
benefited them in more ways than one.

KBit Wheat-Growing Friends.**
We are not at all astonished that his “ wh*. at
growing friends” should have been taken some
what by surprise at the language used towards
them by Mr. McAllister, in 1834. It is amusing
to notice the confusion which this extract from
the speech of their candidate has produced in the
Democratic ranks. Those organs more imme
diately under the eye of the “ standard bearer”
himself, have observed a most commendable si
lence, only grumbling a little when the matter
is pressed too closely upon them. In distant
parts of the State, the’answers have been as va-
rious as the sources from which they have ori
ginated. The Democratic editor at Augusta de
clares most lustily that Mr. McAllister was allu
ding to the attempt made in 1833 to destroy the
Federal basis, though that subject is not alludedr
to in the remotest degree in the whole speech.—
The more wily and experienced editor of the
Athens Banner, one of those hated yankces, at
which the Democratic candidate loves to take an
occasional fling, puts on a grave face and ques
tions the genuineness of the extract. He suppo-
it impossible that ‘language, so unjust and
jiusiuun, urgut-ti-inui siurtry

Ciiuldthis writer have read the speech, or did
he propose to mislead his readers ? Lot us sec
wh*/ Mr. McAllister says himself in tho very
speech in question. We quote his own words:
“ Look to the surface of your own Slate, and
you will perceive iftal the representatives in out

where our peculiar property is essential to its pros

that can be given. Mr. McAllister might make
as good a Governor as Mr. Crawford. Wc can
not speak with the same positiveness of contin

what he would be, or what he could, cr would do,
is all a.matter of conjecture. Mr. Crawford has
been tried and has not been found wanting; the
nominee of the Democratic party is untried and
his election would be an experiment which would
not be an improvement ot our present condition,
but might be materially detrimental to our inter
