STATE SOVEREIGNTY.
the recorder.
5IILLEDGEVILLE,
Tuesday, Fefcrnary 19, 1S39.
Il will 1,0 remembered that the late Legislature request
ed the Governor, to appoint a commission of competent
gentlemen to investigate the subject of our State finances,
and to report n financial system, for the consideration of
the ensuing legislature.
We understand his Excellency has performed this duty
by the appointment of the following gentlemen, to consti
tute this commission—John M. Berrien of Savannah.
W'm. XV. Holt of Augusta, and Absotom H. Chappcl of
Alscon, Esquires.
This is a most important commission, and gentlemen
1,otter qualified to perform tiie duties appertaining to it,
could not probably he fonud in the State. The people of
Georgia, have really no idea of the importance and neces
sity of a thorough investigation of our. financial system.
When thev remember that even the taxes of the State for
this year, has been given to the different counties, and
when in addition they recollect the very large amount
which has been appropriated, to bo paid out of the Trea-
surv during the current political year, they will no doubt
be surprized and astonished when they are informed, that
the Treasury is now and has been fur some time past, un
able, for the want of funds, to pay the ordinary demands,
which are daily made upon it. The legisla: ure to be sure
while on the one hand they were giving away the public
lax, on the oilier authorized the Central Bank to borrow
(if it could) six hundred thousan ! dollars, for the current
uxpenses. But even this from the careless and informal
manner in which it was done, we fear will prove a very dif
ficult enterprizc, if it does not entirely result in failure.
Instead of authorizing State scrip tube issued, which they
were informed, was the only mode of obtaining loans for
the State, and as they well knew had just been illustra
ted in the State loan made hv Major Crawford, yet the
legislature without adopiing this necessary form, or any
other, merelv authorizi d the loan, on the part of the bank ;
a thing which experience has fully proved, is much sooner
said than d >110. We understand difficulties have been ex
perienced by the President of the Central Bank already, in
his endeavors to obtain a loan for the immediate wants of
die government. The difficulty will probably bo overcome
by that energetic and faithful officer, but certainly neither
*o easily nor on such good term* as it would have been,
had the form of the negociution boon made bv thu legisla
ture, in conformity with his views.
In the mean time as there is no money in the Treasury,
and no taxes to come into into'it this year ; nor in the Cen
tral Bank, for about tho first act of the present direction
was to divise means to puy the debts of the bank, for mo
usy formerly borrowed, we have only to say to all claimants
on the government that they must just wait until the money
«A» BB BORROWKD to pay them. Poor old Georgia ! all
her lands gone, and all hor money gone—her taxes given
nway, debts due, and tho money yet to Le borrowed to puy
them with, surely it is high time that something should be
done to bring things right again. Wehaveuil respect fir
the ability of the gentlemen selected by the Governor to
revise our financial system ; they will convene at this place
during the spring or summer, and we may reasonably hope,
a» the result of theirlabors, such recommendations in re
gard to our finances, as will rectify the errors of years
gone by, and ameliorate our condition fur those that are
to come.
this department ie in a* bad, probably a worts condition
than the others. Again, we would exclaim, what will this
government and country come to, unless we are saved by
a speedy and thorough reform ?
The details which we have given in this and tho prece
ding paper, ir. relation to Northern loco-focoism, will excite
the interest of the reader, as it elucidates the opinions
both in morals and politics of a party, which has fearfully-
increased within the few preceding years, and which as
they sav now musters hundreds, and thousands in its ranks,
in all quarters of the United States. Most fervently may
every patriot and honest man pray to lie deliveicd from
the rule and the influence of men holding such opinions:
let their views and wishes prevail, and the only luw which
will govern, will be the Law of might—the strong will
trample on the weak, and property only belong to those
w ho have power to take and to hold it. Save us from such
specimens of loco-focoism.
Rumor say*, that by the intervention of the British Ad
miral, peace has been restored between France and Mexi
co. M nreover, that Bustamcnte, the lute President, has
been deposed, and Santa Anna, again placed in the Execu
tive chair.

late Superior Court of Bibb county, has been sentenced bv

* Cnr cotemporaries in this State, who have evidenced
so much anxiety to place Mr. Clay in at least as had a
box as Mr. Van Boren, on the subject of abolition, will he
somewhat embarrassed, we fancy, to transmogrify, so a:
to suit their purposes, or relieve them from their false
position the expression of this gentleman’s sentiments on
this subject, delivered in the Senate of the United States
on the 7th inst. Whatever might have been the political
objections to Mr. Clay, and they are not fetv, it was a
most sorry attempt to relieve Mr. Van Bareti on this sub
ject, by charging Mr. Clay, himself the owt.er of probably
more than a bandied slaves, with abolitionism. We take
the following notice of Mr. Clay’s remarks on this subject
from the Charleston Courier:
Tho Augusta papers have not hit the point in their re
marks in regard to the Banks. The frequency of settle
ments, is tint the source of complaint, but the usurious
terms demanded by the Augusta Banks on those settle
ments. The Augusta Bunk* want Northern Exchange;
they have no use for specie, and do not wunt it. Well,
on settlement with the interior Banks, they are offered
vrhat they want. Northern Exchange, at the Augusta rates,
allowing them a reasonable percent, for the expense of
settlement. This, the Augusta Batiks refuse. Although
they would have us to believe ilmt they are embarrassed
by being obliged to furnish tliis exchange for the State,
oad that it is a gi««t point to obtain it in sufficient quan
tity; yet, when this is offered them at the rates which
themselves demand and receive for il in Augusta, they re
fuse it. They will take sight exrhnrge on New-Yurk at
par, when by referring to the exchange tables of their own
papers, it is seen to he xvorth in Ai.gastu from *° 1®
per cent., or they will compel the measure, by dvmtwitfftig
specie, for which they hnvo no use, and which is really an
annoyance to them to be put to tho expense of removing.
But it will force the banks of the ialerior te their terms-,
and that is all they wish.
Now, wo ask, how can the Banks of the Interior dis
count their hills to tho community, even for short periods,
when those bills will, even in a shorter period, lie returned
upon them, at an expense equal to the amount received
for the interest of the loon? For the elucidation of this
mntter to many of our readers, let us in a plain way at
tempt its illustration.
Suppose the cotton buyer (in Macon sny) receives from
n Bank there a loan of $1000) for 90* days. The interest
of this sum at 7 per cent, for .90 days, is $17 50. Now sup-"
pole those bills arc brought back in the coarse of three
weeks or a month by the Augusta Banks, and either the
specie is demanded, on the one hand, nr Northern Ex
change at par, when it is worth from 1J to 2 percent., on
the other. If such runs on the bank for specie is continued^
it must be plain enough to any one, that the hank must
stop a free discount of its bills.
IF on the other hand Exchange at par is given, which is
worth, and for which the hank has paid, say 1J per cent,
(ttud it is quite this in Macon we presume) here will lie
paid in the redemption of the 1000 dollars, within a month,
just the amount received by the bank, for its loan for three
months: and what is worse, it has to provide for the pay-
meat of the 1000 dollars, giving up all the interest of the
loan just two months before it can receive the return of the
loan: thus in addition to an entire loss of profit, totally
tying op its hands from any further loans at least till the
nviount is returned, and even then only to lie loaned again
to embarrass itself in providing for its speedy redemption,
without the slightest profit to itself. We presume the peo
ple will readily perceive that at this rate, they need not ex
pect any facilities from the country hanks—they cannot ex
pect under such c';—umstances nny such tiling.
Here is the cause of complaint with the people, because,
a* they perceive, it to all intent* and purposes incapacitates
the hanks of the interior to be of nny service to them; if
tie Augusta Banks only desire, ns they profess, to main-
?ein s sound state of the currency, surely they can effect
this by taking exchange which the want, ut the price they
themselves ask for it, and a reasonable per cent., to pay
the expense, of the agency necessary in effecting settle
ments. This has been thefformer practice we understand
nnd a speedy return to this course is what the people have
a right to expect.

Washington, Feb. 7.
The question of abolition was incidentally the theme of
discussion in the Senate again this morning. A petition
was presented by Mr. Clay, of Kentucky, from the cities
of this District, asking that Congress would not interfere
in their domestic relations. On this subject Mr. Clay
can.e out in a bold and manly manner, and was highly
complimented by Mr. Calhoun, for tho avowal he had
made. Mr. Calhoun said he might now consider abolition
as done, fairly at an end ! Mr. Clay placed the abolition
ists in three different classes in this country. First, those
who. from feelings of philanthropy and humanity, were op
posed to the existence of slavery. Second, those who
were apparently abolitionists and sought to ingratiate them
selves with the first class for sinister purposes, endeavor
ing te muke. them believe that liberty of speech, the right
of petition and freedom of the press were attempted to be
infringed lsy the South. Third, those who were ultra ab
olitionists, and sought to attain their ends, reckless of all
consequences, of the right of property, of honor, of pat
riotism. of all those feelings that should hind the people
of these confederated States in one firm bond of union,
brotherhood and love. What was il to this class that they
should ovei throw the faiiest fabric ever reared by human
wisdom—a government, in tho success of which were in
volved the best hopos of mankind. Mr. Clay took a con
stitutional view of the subject, and denied the power of
Congress to interfere with slavery in this district, without
a palpable liraach of faith, and submitted to the good sense
of the people, whether, if the power was expressed, it
would he wise or politic or safe, to interfere with the exis
ting domestic institutions, lie occupied the Senate about
two hours, and thu petition w as ordered to be printed and

We understand that General Nelson has offered to raise
volunteers to the number authorized for the protection of
•our frontiers on the Florida borders. His offer will we un
derstand, be accepted by the Governor, in preference to or
dering a draft. The force when raised will be ordered to
take the place of the troops whose term of service has just
expired. Gen. Floyd will continue as chief of the com
mand. Gen. Nelson, we understand has expressed his
willingness to accept a command subordinate to the former.
Both these officers it will he remarked, thus act in the ser-
Mce of the State in subordinate position* to their military
rank ; Gen. Floyd having been acting as Colonel, during
the whole Okefinokce campaign ; and as such he will con

MARRIAGE.
Though young in years, I perhaps have viewed this sub
ject with 111 eve of scrutiny, rarely found among mankind.
Thun matrimony no social relation is more universally es
tablished; and 10 obey the mandates of the laws of na
ture on this subject, is a duty we owe not only to the dic
tates of our own feelings, hut to the solemn injunctions of
Heaven. But to marry those whom we love not, is a prac
tice that merits God’s displeasure, and calls aloud for the
denunciation of the human family. Let us strike at the
root of this evil. We are all ready to admit, that tho cus
tom of marrying, apart from considerations of genuine af
fection, is common in the world; and that wealth, that
monster that stalks abroad in the land, exerting his bane
ful influences throughout creation, is the governor supreme
in forming matches between the sexes. L’ufortunately no
land nor country around which the mantle of civilization
has been thrown, is free from this vice. A vice too that
will crush to nothingness that germ of American happi
ness that lias so lung been, and is now being fuiullv nur
tured. I say where the blessings of civilization have been
felt, this principle reigns predominant—and much docs it
argue in behalf of the culture of the mind. Better, far
belter bad the germ of civilization never been colled into
I exi-ster>cr f than for it to have brought with it, or been ac-
! cessary to an influence that is striking at the foundation of
j the fairest* fabrieks of happiness, and must ultimately, if
; not checked in iu career, submerge the world in woe and
misery. Who, to an extent greater nr less, has not felt
the force of what 1 am saying ? and who has not witnessed
■minus formed where that love, whose principle claims a
higher destiny thou a mere cultivated passion, produced
not ono emotion in the bosoms of tpe parlies concerned.—
And at this state of things v.lio cun wonder, when these
principles arra insliflerfb? parents (whose opinions children
generally hold sacred) into the 1 osnins of their sons and
daughter*. Almost as soon ns they are capable of receiv
ing instruction at all, they are taught to reverence riches.
Great pain* are taken to rear them in the most. approved
wnlks'oP life; they have bestowed on them all the intel
lectual cultivation within the grasp of llie ago—and for
what? that they may reap the glories of science ? that
they may lie held Up as models, to guide the rising genera
tion in their searches for knowledge? Not so—bill that
they may marry fortunes!
How many mothers, who have spent nights in watchful
ar.xiety for the return of that absent husband, who is revel
ling: in all the profligacy of the age, and who married her
merely for licr dollars, will now make a yofi'ng man’s for
tune her first object of inquiry, iluw many fathers, who
lmve never felt the first affectionate impulse float through
their souls for the companions of their bosoms, will make
the fortune of the young man who isaddrossing his daugh
ter, a matter of the fust nnd*greatest importance: ft never
occurs to him to ask, is he intelligent, is he moral, is lie
economical, and above nil, is he honorable. How many
acts of dishonesty of magnitude sufficient to casta suspi
cion upon a man’s character, that should remain forever,
are plastered over and eonrealrd by coats of gold and sil
ver; and thus the shining stuff will enable him to insinu
ate himself into the good graces of innocence and virtue,
to its entire destruction.
Barents, I would have you awake to this subject; on
vmir shoulders rests the most awful responsibility ; on you
I charge this ovii—and with it hanging like a mighty in
cubus about your souls, many of you will appear before
Jehovah’s throne.
1* there a father who is so lost to all the nobler feelings
of hi* nature, as to sit without a sigh, and witness tile
scenes of unhappiness that result from matrimonial con
nections which are brought about w ithout love’s being the
ruling principle in the matter? Is there a mother, who
lias all those fine and sensitive impulses of her bosom so
blunted, as not to feel a condemning remorse, when the
tale of neglect nnd mal treatment is told to her, by that
lovely daughter who is the pride and solace of her declin
ing years, and whom she influenced to marry him she did
not love? Alas. I fear there are ninny to be found. I
tremble for the plausibility of this tale. I fear there nre
parents who had rather see their sons and daughters rilling
forth on the pinions of aflluance and splendor, with their
destinies blended with him, or her, they do not love, than
to see them moving in the more humble spheres of life, in
the delightful enjoyment of a companion for whom they
cherish the most devoted affection. Wo, i must shv. to
the spirit that is actuating intelligent minds to such a
course. Can they be aware of its unhallowed tendency,
which can only be told by its unfortunate victims? Mo
thers, you who nre strangers to the sweets of an husband’s
smiles, you whose cheeks are furrowing under the hectic
flush, to you I appeal for a true delineation of this picture,
which is not one of on idle fancy, but found in real life.—
And if so, let me exhort the rising generation, by all that
is sacred to them in life, not to follow the example of their
unfortunate predecessors. I.'t afi'ection be their gui le in
forming that union that is severed only by death—and they
will pass their lives in peace and happiness.

TO THE FARMER’S OF GEORGIA FOR 1339.
By an art of the Legislature of 1337, about 40 gentle
men were constituted a Board of Agriculture and rural
economy. These men were selected for their supposed
qualifications, to advance the farming interest of Georgia,
upon which, all the prosperity of her citizens depend. By
the aforesaid act, this Board were to meet annually in
Milledgeville on the third Monday in November. It is be
lieved that three-fourths of the persons named in the law,
had no knowledge of- its existence, and, therefore, the
meetiug was ahnust entirely neglected; some, however,
did meet, und these highly approve of the object proposed.
It was proposed at the meeting, that a practical: mem
ber rrf it should address a few essays to the plante«i-call-
ing their attention to some of now important object*; that
should-engage their care and attention.
First, then, as good soil is the firs' essential requisite to
profitable farming, it is obvious this should engage the
planter’s care and labor—this should be done in two ways
—when the soil is naturally good, provision should fee
made ta keep it so—when the soil is either nafarally poor,
or rendered so by exhaustion through bad husbandry, steps
shonld, without delay, be taken for its restoration.
The Farmers of Georgia could not have pursued a more
fatal course, than they have dune for the last 30 years.
The growing of cotton on broken lands, is the most teady
way that can be adopted, to utterly destroy them. Hence,
we have thousands of acres that were once fertile, and
richly repaid labor, now worthless to the last degree—no
thing but sterile red clay, full oi gullies. And what has
the planter received as an equivalent for bis ruined land ?
Why, in most cases, nothing but an increased number of
negroes, wiio now consume the almost entire production
of his worn out land. And a few years more, going on at
this rate, he must either remove West, be sold out by the
Sheriff, or live in the extreme of poverty.
Come then and let us reason together—our case is not
yet hopeless—yet, at this very lime, we are tempted to
kill the goose that lays the golden egg. The present high
price of cotton is much more likely to result in evil to
Georgia, than in good. It never was, nor ever can he, the
interest of this State, to purchase bread or meat, in any
shape, let tho price of cotton be whet it may. It were
easy to demonstrate this to every thinking man, and no
thing but the most fatal delusion has carried us forw ard in
a course that has well nigh proved fulal. The writer is
now in swell haste to urge and beg his fellow-citizen far
mers, to make sure, in planning for this present crop, to
secure an abundant supply of provisions as llie primary ob
ject ; that he cannot now take time to reason upon the
consequence of a contrary course—small crop of cotton, a
large crop of grain of every kind, take great care of your
stock, especially of hugs*—dou’i run into the Free Banking
before you know what you are about, nor think of getting
discounts next fall to buy your meat, but have it abundant
at home—have no drones in your hive—no non-productives.
and prosperity, and happiness will attend you at home and
abroad.

State, who killed this season upwards of 60,000 lbs. pork.

of the Superior Court, of 1839. beg leave to submit to trid^
consideration of the citizens «f the coibsv, tlis t.-lioi* n*lf
presentments; nnd although we sincere!-* r- pv< t the ae-
ces*i»v of thus publicly noticing tiie pic’uc-itci- ol vice and
immortality, yet we believe that we should fail tedisdfcnnro
the duties vie owe 10 fine community in which vt> live,
were we to neglect to expi*:** ou{ views fearlessly, candid
ly. and openly.
' It it believed by the (Jraod Jff»y that crimes are openly
committed in this county wivhout th* perpetrators fa ri g
arrested and brought to coudign punishment, ar.d the vhe
lated laws of the iund in which vie rive loudlv calls upon
each individual nr: mber of tiie community to assist in the
conviction of criminals for each and every offence. 1 hey
would recommend to the magistrates and all other officer*
whose duty it assuredly becomes under tbe laws to a] pre
bend and commit all offenders for every breach of tbe law.
For ourselves, we pledge ourselves hereafter to use every
exertion to aid and assist tbe constituted authorities < f 1 he
country, tqfrxpose crimes ot every description, that offend
ers may be brought forward and suSer the punishments in
flicted bv the laws of the country. By the co-operation of
tbe citizens of this county, w ho are in favor of promoting
good order and go«d morals; we sincerely hope that soon
the perpetrators of crimes may be compelled to hide theiF
diminished heads, or depart tbe limits of this connty.
We would recommend to the Inferior Court to pay es
pecial regard to the improvement of our public roads;
those that have teen already established should be strictly
attended to; and we woald suggest to th? Justices of the
Inferior Court, not to lay out of grant anyhrder for a aiw
road in any district where the scarcity of Our population 1
would suggest a different course.-
We have carefully examined tbe bOoki of the Cleric of
the Inferior Court, and 1 egret to state thaf some of his
books are in an irregular condition. The estray book is iri
such a condition that vve are unable to know what hn* been
done with e.-tray properly. The amount of sales aud dispo
sition of fuuds arising from the sales, are wibollv unac
counted for. The book of licenses'!* »V'> irregularly kept,
not having made an entry of tbe certificate cf rlie rouuty
Treasurer, nor entry of issue of licenses, nor the disposi
tion of funds arising from the same.
We would recommend to the Inferior Court to levy an
extra tax, for the purpose of raising funds for county pur
poses, if upon cmisr.fb ration and investigation, they should
deem srch a rtieasure necessary for the public interest-
We have examined the bonks of the county Treasurer,
and Trn-fee of the Pehr School Fund, and find them neatly
kept. The books of the Clerks of the Superior Court
have been carefully inspected by this body, and we frd
them kept in a neat and orderly mautivt'.
In conclusion, that tbe citizens of tbe coilnty may be ap
prised of some of the vices nnd crimes that wc intend" here
after to u-e our best influence to "urpress by the aid’ aC
the good citizens of the county in which vve live, we hnva
unanimously adopted the following resolutions:
1st. Resolved, That trading with negroes without a
permit from their owner or overseer, is a gross offence,
and should not be committed under any circumstance*
without the exposure and indictment ot every such such
offence.
2d. Resolved, That a sacred regard or the Sabbath ir
the best safrgnard to the morals of tbe ri«iDg generation,
and unless vve suppress hunting and tippling on that d- y,
by all fiersons, either free white persons or negroes, tb«
community will soon exnerience the evil consequences, and
the injured morals and violated rights of the Community
3d. Resolved. That retailing spirits without licease,
keeping opt?n doors lor selling spirits, and trading vt.fH*
negroes, shall no lunger be treated us a dead letter on our

wonderful power possessed by his steam carnages, which
arc intend-d to run on common reads: “Subsequent trials
of the carriage in question have given the following results.
One hundred weight of coke per hour, produce 7500 gallons
of steam per minute, driving the engine at a speed of 12 or
15 miles per hour, ut a pressure of 50 lbs. to ’he inch, nnd
giving about 4000 gallons of steam per minute, beyond the
required consumption. I11 other woids, this immense pow
er is obtained at a eost of one penny per mile.”

Mrs. Haynie had been a professed follower of Christ for
fifteen years; as* wife, she was affectionate;- as a mother,

truly be said, that her “ faith was shown by her works,”—
her piety was of that unobtrusive kind, which secketh not to
be seen or heard of the world ; her constant aim was to follow
with meekness and humility in the footsteps, and practice the
precepts of our Divine Lord ; her hand was ever open for
the relief of the destitute—anti the cord of sympathy ofevery
kind, found a responding vibration in her bosom. There is
something intensely interesting and consoling in the reflec
tion, that from the commencement of her illness, until her
death, she remained in the complete enjoyment of her mental
faculties. Her last hours were spent in fervent pxayer and
supplication to that throne on high, before which she was des
tined so shortly to appear.
Her soul has gone to God who gave it, and the insensible
