O'lie Constiiuiionali: l, of tire I2lh hist.,
gives returns from 59 counties, in which, the

It appears, that the capital stock of this In
stitution, has been purchased by a company
•of individuals, at whose head, is the notori
ous Arc A: LUddle. It has been said, that
“ OM Nick is a roaring lion, going about seek
ing whom he may devour;” anil the expres
sion here is verified. If his cloven foot has
•not already been seen on the soil of Georgia,
there is at least some semblance of an imprint;
and it behooves the good people of this State,
to keep a bright look-out, or they (their prop
erly,) will be swallowed up ai masse, it re
quires not the ken of j.inj.hecv, to li.retell
what a few individuals, armed with such a
T/ioaied power, as the old U. S. Bank, resus
citated, has at its control, can effect ; the his
tory of the past has been sufficient, without
■diving into the future, for lesions. Still, it
may be well to warn the people of breakers
ahead; and we earnestly entreat them to
pause and reflect, ere they suffer this machine
of corruption, wielding an influence almost ir
resistible, to operate on them or their inter
ests. Nick Biddle and his understrappers,
dared not ask the Legislature of Georgia, to
grant him and them an agency in the State;
knowing that such an application would be
indignantly rejected; but for a transfer of a
large portion of the Stock in a Bank, situate
in Columbus, 8100,000 premium is given,
thus virtually securing to the “ Panic Bank,”
the privilege of operating within our borders.
Whether the Insurance Bank of Columbus,
had a right to make such transfer, we pretend :
not to determine; we believe, however, this
act was at least a violation of the spirit of the
charter. We are pleased to find, that die
Standard of Cuiun, Federal Union, Southern
Recorder, and other papers, have taken up
this subject: and only regrci our lack of room
to publish their excellent remarks.
tiia “sews.”
In our last number, v. e briefly adverted to
the “omission” of the *• News” to furnish the
result of the late election in this county, for ■
which, it appears, we are taken to tu-k uv
some scribbler, under the editorial head of
that pajier. We have carefully reviewed the
remarks calling forth this woodeiful effort,
and find nothing we could retract, nor be un- ’
willing to reiterate. We charged the "News” !
with haviug omitted to furnish its readers .
with the result of the election in Wilkes, while
that of Richmond, some fifty miles distant,:
was made known through the columns of
that paper. The charge stands unrefuted
and uucontradlctid; and so it must remain,
as long as truth and candor are nut made i
subservient to evil purposes. In our remarks
ou this sublet, w e defy any one to shew
aught but unsophisticated truth; but how
does the “ News" endeavor to extricate itself ,
from the dilemma ? By a confession of an
oversight? No, no—This would be rather j
galling, to one whose eyes are so keen in dis
covering “errata.” The “News” says, “if
we mistake not, the Spy also has been guilty j
of the same neglect, in presenting to its read- j
ers, the ojjicial tetnrus of the election held in
" Old Wilkes,” on the first Monday in this
month.” Now, we take the liberty of advi
sing the “News,” that the word “official,” |
quoted by himself, is not to be found in the
remarks, to which he seems to have refer
ence. But again, the “ News,” with usual
disingenuousness, says, “The ‘Spy* has giv
en a wholesale statement of said Flection, by
saying ‘the Union candidate for Congress re
ceived 100 majority,’—All told !! according to
the last j Spy.’ Now- ( as regards the Elec
tion, the Southern Recorder, of Tuesday last,
savs, * Returns from forty counties give Col.
Alford (the State Rights candidate,) a ma
jority 0f2,000 votes over Mr. Lid,lei,’ the U
nion candidate. And adds, ‘the former is
unquestionably elected.’ Further comment
is unnecessary.” Truly, comment would
appear unnecessary; for, it is to bo supposed,
any one possessed of a thimble full of brains,
would know, that, if there is a difference be
tween 111 and 2,040 votes, there is also a
difference be.ween 0 and lOcounties—the re
turns from the smaller number, it was known,
we gave, and not of the latter. We stated
who were chosc-n county Officers, without
opposition; no necessity, of eouise, existed,
for furnishing a full and entire list of the
polls. We gave the majority of the Con
gressional candidate over his competitor; a
like course has been pursued by many pa
pers in the State, though we have heard of
but one self-dubbed “County paper,” travel
ling beyond its confines, to announce the e
lectious abroad, while those at home were
neglected. This appears to be somewhat
“ erratic," sure enough.
But the “ News” has discovered a typo
graphical error, (loafing to others,) in our
Calendar, and forthwith, with a mighty flour
ish, becomes adviser, recommends us to re
publish, &.c. This kind suggestion came too
late, for the “ erratum ” was discovered, “ re
vised and corrected,” before the keen-eyed
observer of the “News,” had an opportunity
of beholding it; and we are sorry, that, in the
paper containing this recommendation, there
were not fewer errors discernible, than were
to be perceived by One wlto is admonished of
his little experience “in the erratic aud omis
sion litre of business.”
Our kind monitor, the “ News,” tells us
too, to at ten J to the reading of our own proof
sheet, &e. Too late again ; you should have
given this hint months ago; but, if you would
insinuate, that yon have generally a fairer
proof, why, before or after reading, the Spy
challenges a comparison with the “News;”
the “veteran ptinter,” the devil, and all
hands in the “County paper” Office, to the
contrary, notwithstanding.
