*“ POLICE OFFICE,
Savannah, September 11, 1816.
- w „a a duty, I owe to the Board of Aider-
It,s cons dereja a ^ ^ answer barges, repre
men, as weU t f : n3ill aation8 which were propagated pre
sentations, and ^ election, on the first Monday of
vious to, and during u
ti,is month. were the result of malignity, or
WhetUer ff*cts it becomes equally a duty to meet,
ignorance of facts.
and to refdtethe t0 two> wh i c h are the
mosUrapottant, and perhaps only entitled to die atten-
*Yfl,r fellow-citizens.
tl0 " h ; first is, that there has been an extravagant—a pro
s'^teivastt* of the city funds; die other, that th.s has m
measure been occasioned by my injudicious nonu-
Luon of committees, over whom a proper restraint has
not been exercised by Council. .
It is presumed, that no person acqua nted with the free
use of the public f^nds by former boards of Aldermen,
and the use which has been made of those funds b; the
late board, will for a moment accredit the charge of
waste and extravagancey, which have-been so mdustn-
ouslv circulated against it. *
It appears from the official account of the temporary
treasurer, sanctioned by the Committee of Finance, that
the receipts from 23d October, 181a, to 21st August,
1816. amount to $^,224 93, and that the expendi
tures have equalled that sum within §2461 64*, die ba
lance in the treasury at dial date.
The account is not sufficiently explicit as to those ex
penditures, upon which, full information was expected
to have been obtained. Every ambiguity on this subject
will however, be removed, by the publication of an ac
count containing the minutest item of expenditure. For
instance, the credit under the head of incidental charges,
‘•Do. von sundries,” will be amplified by inserting in
the new account rendered thirty-five items, ali founded
upon some necessary, and authorised disbursement for
city purposes These items must have passed under the
inspection of the Committee of Finance, who no doubt,
deemed it unnecessary that any further notice should be
taken of them, than that contained in the laconic general
designation of the official account.
Casting an eve only to the aggregate expenditure, it
might probably have appeyjed enormous to some unin
formed .persons, who have jB
growing importance of thi^nt
nsblv
properly reflected on the
ty, and the demands which
proportionuDiy encrease upon its treasury. But the
Charge of W aste and profligacy is instantly repelled, when
the fact is established, that §11865 76*, is fairly to be
deducted front the aggregate amount of expenditures, so
t'.v as it rtiaits to the economical financial operations
tile .ate board.
The explanations will be found in the letter addressed
to me from the treasurer pro. tem.
The late bo..rd has paid §47U0 dollars of the debt con
tracted by the city, during the war, for purposes of de
fence—Was this waste and extravagance? The sum of
§o745 35, was expended in carrying into effect quarantine
regulations, rendered necessary by the introduction of the
small-pox. But for this expenditure and those regul,
tions, all intercourse would have been interdicted bi
tween this city and tlie back country, ..t a season when
the interests of commerce urgently demanded that inter
course. The expediture was made, and continued under
an ..ssurance from the executive, that the city would be
reimbursed by diestate; and under diatassurance I have
transmitted. his excellency the account and requested
payment. Was this expenditure then a misapplication
and waste of the city fimds? The expenditure for the
city-watch for eleven months, amounts to §7005 93*.
No objectioh caii be fairly or candidly uu.de to this, un
less it is contended that this branch of the Police ought
to have been abolished as affording no protection com
pensating for the burthen it imposes on the finances of
the city. The experience of y ears, it is presumed, suffi
ciently answers any suggestion of this kind.
Tiic sum of §837 51 lias been paid for printing the
city change bills. These bill* were loudly' called for by r
the pubuc, anil in obedience to what was considered to
be (he general wish, I was directed by council, to have
printed or engraved at the northward, change bills of
various denominations. The sum first deemed sufficient
was afterwards encreased to §20,000, and this amount 1
contracted for, and had printed upon terms, which
could not have been more reasonable or ceconomical: and
it is quite in my power to shew, that at least §1000 was
saved to this city, by the liberality and accommodation of
a bank in Baltimore, effected by the gentleman with
whom I contracted.
'This sum, however, of §837 51 ought not to be consid
ered 4s an expenditure out of the city funds, because the
city wilt reimburse itself out of the funds derived from
the emission of the change bills; and for that amount I
presume, and for other charge s incidental to this species
of financial accommodation, the redemption of those
change bills will not, at least Ought not to extend. The
city derives no benefit from those bills as relates to the
appropriation of its fund, and of course it should incur
no loss.
Tliere is another item, whichever;- citizen disposed to
act with candour towards the late board of Aldermen,
w»h readily admit, ought fairly to be deducted from the
iiimutation of waste and profligacy; I mean the sum of
Slo7u,18 paid as interest on 79 Exchange certificates.
Tins stock was created by the purchase of the Exchange
some years past, and without violating the faith of the
City, tiie payment of this interest became unavoidable.
I he sum of §16 j6 was paid for repairs of public
docks, and it has never bten suggested that those repairs
were umiecessajy, or that contract was extravagant
The necessity of the one, and the moderation of the
other, have, as far as I can learn, been generally acqui
esced in. u
Frninthese p\.,m statements it appears, that upwards
0 ol5742,fuve been honestly, justly, and economically
expended; kavmg a balance of about §17,482, (of which
6.2,468 641 remained in the Treasury at the date of
e official account) to meet ali the purposes of city ex
penditure; to keep in repair its public edifices; to en
close its squares; support the prisoners in the county
prison placed under corporation control; to sink ami re : -
pair its pumps; to maintain its police; paving the Salaries
otibi numerous officers; to Carry on improv(jm t nts un
der its present extension, and encreusing pqpBjjKion; that
i jum little more than §15,000 soouiu be i®mcu more
lean adequate for ali these purposes, is arguing upon a
pun of (economy, which must be thought absuriTby the
ttast parsimonious calculator.
To citizens of liberal minds, interested in the growth
md respectability of Savannah; promising to occupy in
efew years so distinguished a place among the commer
cial ernes of the United States, tile sum expended for all
fne purposes enumerated, must appear far short of what
those purposes woutd seem to require.
The next charge, if I understand it correct!;', is, that
ttts waste of the city funds has been principally occa
sioned by my injudicious nomination of committees over
w.iam a proper l-estraintlias not been exercised bv council.
T" aU _ the charges or insinuations against any, or the
’hole oi the lute board, or myself, this is the most absui d
. natured. At all events it shews the profoundest
ignorance of the rules and motives, which must govern
jj e Mayor in the nomination of Committees. The whole
“urd, if they choose to exercise the right, may ballot for
v-ooirrattees, or, the nomination may be left to the May
ors discretion, which has in ev'ery case been done since
nave had the honor to fill that station. I was always
wind to consider every Alderman of the board, as pos-
ti,/"I? ®*l u al probity and respectability; and in the iiomiua-
tiur..- ( ' omrniUee: ’ Tor any purpose whatsoever, I bad no r
'g more to do, than so to apportion the weig ht of duty,
•fit**? 1 A ^ ernrum might liave his just and proper share
tlm . es Ta? unavoidedly happened, from the
or some other cause,
ippointingit)—its c Attracts slid engagements are submitt
ed to Council for approval or confirmation; In matters of
importance this has been generally done. Whether how
ever the powersdelegated to committees have been plenary
or limited, Ido with muchconfidence assert, that their con
tracts have been prudent and (Economical. I would beg
leave particularly to advert to the contract for painting,
enlarging, and repairing the market; about which some
sensation has been excited. This contract, I am well
advised, does not by any calculation of the most rigid
(Economy exceed the small amount of §50, above wnat
would have been a proper and reasonable sum. A simi
lar prudence and (economy will be. found to have go
verned committees in other contracts of importance.
I have thus endeavored to remove impresssons which
have been so precipitately and' improperly imbibed, in
relation to the ofticid conduct of the late board of al
dermen, and my own.
If I succeed in doing so, it will afford me great satis
faction; at all events in submitting this communication
to tbe public, I feel that 1 have discharged a duty ex
pected from ui£ by a respectable majority of my fellow
citizens, and it is their approbation, I am most solicitous
to conciliate. Thomas U. P. Charlton, mayor.
Savannah, September 11, 1816.
Dr Ati Sir—Enclosed, you have a statement of the
amount paid by the treasury under various heads. The
money obtained from the batik, appears to have been
borrowed, in consequence of the receipts into the trea
sury not being adequate to meet the current and extra
ordinary expences which occured during the war—re
sulting from the depreciation in the value of city proper
ty, and the absence in a great measure of merchandize,
the tax on winch constitutes the principal fund of the
corporation. Taking out of view the -demands, which
have been forced on council, such as the small poxuc
count, Sec. and if tbe debt due the bank had not been can
celled, it will appear that the actual balance in the trea
sury on the 21st ult. would have amounted to the suu
of §11865,76*. Respectfully yours,

BANKS AND BANK NOTES.
A citizen of Philadelphia, instituted an action against
the Mechanic's Bunk of that city, a few days ago, for the
recovery of “lawful money," in payment of a note of the
Bank. The Bank appeared by an agent, who urged
various pleas to defeat the object of the plaintiff, by de
nying the competency of the tribunal, the authenticity
of the note, (the signature of the cashier only being prov
ed) and admitting the genuineness 01 the signatures,
demanding proof of the lawful election of the persons
whose signatures the note b .re, Sec. The alderman be
fore whom the case \v;.s tried, overruled the v. rious pleas
and objections, gave judgment for the plantifr'in debt anil
costs, and issued a writ against the effects of the bank to
satisfy the judgment.—J'-.'at. Intel.

~ OGILVIE’S ESSAYS, &c.
In the press, and will speedily be published, (at. Phila
delphia) an octavo volume, of from three to tour hun
dred pages. Its contents are divided into two parts, and
will be as follows:
’1 'he first part will contain a Preface and four Essays.
First.—On the cardinal importance of the study of
Mathematical Science, as a br..ncli of liberal education,
and as connected with the attainment of ability and skill
in the exercise of oratory.
Second.—On the Nature, Extent and Limits oi Human
Knowledge, so far as it is founded in the relation of
cause and effect, and concerns mind and matter.
Third.—On the abuse oiJVIorul Fiction in the shape of
popular novels.
Fourth.—On the theory and use of Moral Fiction
The second part roi.l contain an Introductory Nara-
tive, in which the circumstances that led the writer to
undertake the design, to the prosecution of which he has
assiduously devoted the last six years of his life, w ill be
detailed.
Tiiis narrative will record, too, incidents that occured
during his successive visits to the principal cities of the
United States, so far bS ii k uowledg'e of these incidents
may seem to ilini cJcmated to enable the candid and
intelligent reader to understand distinctly the nature
and objects of tins enterpnze—tbe principles by w hich
lie has been governed in its execution—the degree of
success that has hitherto crowned his exertions—the use
lie has made of his success, so far . s the public are con
cerned—the stage in the prosecution of bis design, at
winch he has arrived—his plans and intentions with re
gard to its further prosecution, so far .,s they' can be dis
tinctly foreseen, and are likely to be in any degree in
teresting to such readers.
This narrative will commence with his departure from
Milton, Albemarle county, Virginia, in 18o9, and close
with his departure from Charleston, for Philadelphia, in
1816
This narrative will be followed by the principal part of
an oration, entitled “The Rostrum,” in w'liich he has en
deavored to illustrate tUe permanent public utility', and
to display the intrinsic dignity and attractions of the
species of oratory which he has cultivated; its appiopriate
sphere, in contradistinction to other and pre-established
applications ofthisnobie art; its peculiar adaptation to
the age and state of society in which we live, and to the
spirit of a popular govermne ut; tiie subjects best fitted
for the exercise and exhibition of this species of oratory,
and tiie many useful and beniticenl purposes to which it
may be made subservient.
A senes of shorter passages, from other oratious, pre
viously delivered from the Rostrum, and afeO specimens
of Philosophical Criticism, will occupy the last part of
the volume.
As this volume is committed to the press, for the pur
pose principally, of enabling the intelligent part of the
public to decide how far the writer is qualified to per
form the duties of a teacher of oratory—to deliver Lec
tures on ltlieioric, accompanied by exercises in compo
sition, criticism, and elocution, to successive classes of
students, in die principal colleges established in the Unit
ed States, it is proper that hi# pretentions to prac
tical knowledge and skill in the exercise of orato
ry', should be subjected to a severer test, than the super
ficial fugitive anti equivocal impressions, on the minds of
a miscellaneous audience, by declamations from the Ros
trum.
it is fair and just that persons, from w hom momentary,-
unanalyzed and involuntary feeling, or the contagion of
unreflecting sympathy, may liave extorted a plaudit, un
consciously, perhaps reluctantly, during the delivery of
his orations, should have an opportunity to retract or
confirm that plaudit; to review calmly the sentiments and
the style in which they were expressed, on winch they
seemed, and were believed, perhaps untruly, to stamp ap
probation, and to decide how far the impulse of the mo
ment was in unison with the dictates of deliberate reflection
The writer feels that this appeal from the impulse of
momentary feeling, to the dictates of mature reflection,
from the auditor to the reader, from the Rostrum to the
press, is not merely fai^aiid proper.
It is the course w iden prudence, honor, and integrity,
the united dictates of personal and social duty, prescribe.
He well knows, that the plaudit, winch the candidate
