^Xvannah republican. Thursday Evening, September 12, 1810. - • " ' * '■ 1 >“■ ' 1 1 ,nm *“ 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*.

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.

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 Auction. To-Morrow, 13th inst.
