CONSTITUTIONALIST. AUGUSTA. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1825. From a paragraph in the Patriot, we per ceive that General Gaines’ letter dated the 6th inst. (the intention of writing which he announced in a letter of the 29th ultimo) • is not to be published until ajter the election. , This is, if we mistake not, the document in which the baseness and perfidy of the Geor gia Commissioners, and the want of author ity in the Executive to appoint them, was promised by the General to be fully set forth and proved, and we regret exceeding ly that the Republicans of Georgia will not have the benefit of it at the election, for it is certain that the cause of Troup and the Treaty, has been greatly advanced by those letters of General Gaines, which have from time to time been made public. The prayer •of one of old was “ Oh that mine enemy would write a book!” and Governor Troup •has great reason to be gratified with the ef fect which has been produced by the at tempts to write him down. He indeed has now, no need of Job’s imprecation, for all the writers against him, from the ephemeral diivellers of the newspapers, to more migh ty adversaries, have only produced towards themselves the feelings of disgust and dis pleasure. We do nut entertain and express this opinion without good reasons, and we make an extract from the National Intelli gencer, to shew in what light Gen. Gaines’ letters are considered at a distance from Georgia, and where her affairs are contem plated with impartiality at least: (ienfynl l/auuiKad (Governor J'rntp. — \V e publish to-day the Idler ol Geiier.il Guinea, in reply to that of Governor Troup, vt rich announced the intention of the latter to cease any further correspondence wi'ib the former; and we add to the letter, some testimony published in the Georgia papers, in reference to the au thority for making the treaty. In regard to the correspondence between the Go c.ruur and the General, we confess we should h ive been gl id if th • . liter b.d ad lOreJ 'hron vho M |to the calm, di-.priss.or.ate, and dignified temper which characterized his early correspondence with the Governor. The toue which the Governor assumed towards him ought to have been disregard ed. He should have recollected that he was sent on a special, ■Specific, and delicate business, and it would have been better, we conceive, if he had, in fulfilling his important trust, disregarded whatever he considered personal towards himself, and passed over the supposed provocations of the Governor in silence, ll does not look well, we think, however inst he and others may consider his resentment, to see him bandying tart and cutting re torts, le.ver as they may be, with one filling- the Governor’s sta tion t nor can it oe an agreeable spectacle, to any dispassionate Person to see a military officer of the General Government warm ly lecturing the KiectUive of a State, however irtdsfensiile the language of the latter may have been towards hire. It would have been belter, we humbly conceive, if the General had left the defence of his conduct, to his well established character,oho his superiors, ll would have been more discreet and more con sistent with true dignity, as well as propriety, to have passed by whatever wag p* rsonally offensive to him in the letters of the Governor. One word to those who are disposed to support the Treaty and Governor Troup— who remember how much money General Clark expended, and how violently he act ed towards Hammond—who know am’ how deeply Georgia has been wro and insulted—to all such we w> 1(1 say —act with firmness and independence ; and exercise your own judgmmt in des pite of all electioneering, no matter how cautiously exercised or cunningly contriv ed. Be assured every exertion will be made to get for Genetal Clark in this county, an overflowing majority—let us then who stand up for Troup and the Treaty, be on thej alert with a vigilance equal to that of our! opponents. We are quite sure that Troup! must be elected by a splendid majority! throughout the state—but we wish—for the! purpose of making “assurance doubly sure,”, that Gen. Gaines had published his letter of the 6th inst. before the election. Lafayette has sailed in tne Brandywine for Europe The blessings of our people: go along with him. The Court Martial which has been sitting in Washington for the last 9 weeks, has at length, adjourned sine die, having disposed of all the cases which awaited a legal inves tigation. Cotton Factory destroyed.—On Sunday •morning, the 28 h ult. at Middlebury, Mr.i \ W arren’s cotton factory, 12 bales of cotton’ machinery, gristmill with grain, fulling mill and other buildings, estimated at from 12 to 16,000 dollars, were destroyed by (ire. In surance effected in Boston to the amount of 8000 dollars. The President of the United States has recognized Don Francisco Hernandes No gues, as Consul of the King of Spain for the port of Philadelphia; Wm, Ritchie, as Vice Con»ul of ids Danish Majesty for the S'ates of Massachusetts, Maine New- Jlimpshire, and Rhode Island—and the C,!(‘valier (gazio Vincenzo Caravadossy, as Consul General id the King of Sardina, to reside at Philadelphia.

H Numerous certificates have been lately obtained to prove General Clark innocent of the charge of shooting at the efhgy of Gen. Washington. The Editor of the Chronicle appears very wroth with the authors of this, and other stories tending to injure General Clark’s political prospects. If we are to judge from his late philippics against the au thors of these stories, we must certainly suppose Gen. Clark tube the only calumnia ted man in the state. The Editor of the Chronicle should recollect the numerous slanders, and approbious epithets, that have been showered on Governor Troup’s head by Clark’s party. He should recollect that his own paper lias been the vehicle for some of these slanders, and that he himself has often endeavored to give to public opinion an improper bias. He should recollect the opposition made by bis friends, and Clark’s to every act of Governor Troup’s however beneficial, and the applause bestowed on every one who has vilified, or abused him. “ It is greatly to be lamented that individ uals are to be found, who feel no hesitation in ori ginatmg and circulating the most barefa ced falsehoods, for mere electioneering pur poses, and who disregard the ordinary prin ciples of moral propriety, for the purpose of advancing the cause of a favorite candi date.” This sentiment of the Editor we would recommend his party to peruse and to ponder on it and reflect, that Gen. Cla k is not the only pn secured man in the state i nor his enemies the only calumniators. CONSISTENCY. FOR THE CONSTITUTIONALIST. , Borrowing an idea from Mr. Bartlet, edi tor of the Georgia Patriot, when giving Ids i opinion of Gen. John Clark, three or four years ago, I am at loss which most to “ ad mire” in Gen. Edmund Pendleton Gaines, his , stupidity or duplicity. In a note to the ed ; ttors of the Georgia Patriot, dated Milled ge : ville Sept. 12, the General adopting the po licy of another distinguished character, in i tunates his determination “ to suspend the | publication of his promised exposition un -1 til alter the election.” But Gov. Troup, , more unfortunate than Mr. Adams, has noj | power to barter an important cabinet ap-j i pointment for the entire suppression of this 1 threatened and (to Troup’s future prosperi ty) no doubt destructive exposition. O, ! General forbear—for humanity’s sake for-! bear—we entreat that you will not even af ter the re-election of Gov. Troup, reveal ! what you seem to intimate, might prevent such a result. But, more seriously, how can you, Gen ral, without the fear of tar nishing your hitherto high character for ve -1 racity, say that you “ have indeed cordial ly accepted the civilities of many much respected citizens of Georgia, WITHOUT KNOWING, or making any effort to kno I what party they belonged”? How cou you hazzard such a declaration in the fi ot »u:h undoubted testimony to the con ry ? How could you have dared s n 1 imposition on the understanding of thepeo-; , ‘e, (for I will not allow you the consumatc; ignorante of being correct in the position) when tve toasts drank at the famous Mon ticello dinner, are going the rounds in the public prints, subjected, perhaps, to the pe rusal and reflection of ''forty-nine fiftieths” of the inhabitants of Georgia. Byway of brushing your memory a little, for it seems Ito have grown dull, lets advert to the pa-; !pers and again present to your view a few |of the impartial, respectful, and decorous I sentiments to which, at that dinner you |swallowed, no doubt, as well, some good wine, as large quantities of the most undis guised ~ml bare faced flattery, adapted pe culiarly, however, to your taste ; to your vanity and weakness. Is it possible, gene ral, you could have drank, “ without knowing” what party you were among setimeius like these : “Governor Troup: a man of war! He! “ cares for no responsibility”—as brave a knight as Don Quixotte or his Squire, San cho Panza.” " Governor Troup and the War Commit-! tee ; being the first to declare off from the Union, may their down-tall be certain and speedy.” , “ General John Clark, a former trouble to the Indians —a present trouble to some of their kindred.” ! “General John Clark; too honest for intrigue, too independent to intreat for of fice, but always willing to serve his country; may he, on the first Monday in October, be . elected Governor by the people of Georgia , I and not like the present incumbent by, bribery and corruption.” “ General John Clark, a true patriot and soldier—may he be our next Governor.” Do you understand me, general ? I wish! < to know, if in “ accepting the civilities” of a I set ol men who proclaimed and drank toasts like these, you were so very dull as to have i left their festive board, and not know, even i without “ making an effort to know, to i what party they belonged.” No, sir, you i ire too well identified with Clark, Crowell, I ind and an opposition to the treaty, to gull the people, at this late period, into a belief of your impartiality. It will not do, even supported by the declarations of General -dark, himself, that he is not leagued with < vou and others in an effort to violate ami lestroy the treaty. It is at this time, too oalpably naked to escape the detection of ;very discriminating mind. LOOKER ON. BANK OF THE UNITED STATES. At the triennial meeting of the stockhold ers of the Bank of the United States, held at the Banking House in Philadelphia, on • Thursday the Ist of Sept. 182.3. John Donnell, Esq. of Baltimore, was ap pointed Chairman, and C. J. Ingersoll, of Philadelphia, Secretary. Mr. Biddle, the President of the Bank, in conformity to the Charter, laid before the Stockholders, for their information, an ex act and particular statement of the debts which remained unpaid, after the expiration of the original credits, for a period of treble the term of that credit, and of the surplus of profits, afterdeducting losses and dividends. After performing this duty, Mr. Biddlegave to the meeting a full and particular account of the affairs of the Institution, its operations since the last triennial meeting, its present (esources and liabilities, and its future pros pects ; for all which he referred to docu ments placed on the table, including a tabu lar statement of the concerns of the Bank, from its commencement to the present day! The following resolution was thereupon moved by Mathew Carey, Esq. seconded by H. Binney, Esq. and unanimously carried*; Resolved, That the thanks of the Stock holders be presented to the President and Directors of this Institution, for their able, . fadhful, and successful administration of its affairs, so satisfactorily developed in the . luminous statement of the President, i The following resolutions was then moved i and carried ; • Resolved, I hat the proceedings of this ' meeting be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and published. JOHN DONNELL, Chairman. C.J. Inoeksoll, Secretary. Mr, Binney remarked, that in seconding the motion for a vote of thanks, he would take the liberty of briefly stating his reasons s for it. From the papers on the table, and r from the lucid exposition of the affairs of the - Batik by the President* it was obvious that s the profits of the institution hail materially increased since the last triennial meeting »t the Stockholders, and he conceived to be in a principal degree, the effect of measures of the Bank, which had for their object the i augmented circulation of its notes, the in • crease of private depositesand the extensive . purchase of Domestic Exchange, in which a •j part of this circulation was beneficially em •l ployed in the Southern and Western parts iof the Union. The result, it appeared to ■ihim, was, that the Bank now possess' - its >:circulation ana* private deposits , ex iceediigyj »re than bven i.» ic a •j mount ts thise 'terns VI the L lennial jmeeting , aid from this and other circum stances, it vas easy to deduce the increase jof frrm 3 M 500,000 dollars, in its annual nettprofits.—The subject was, moreover, to .be regarded in its aspect towards the coun try at large; for, by pursuing the policy Which had led to the result just stated, so beneficial to the Stockholders, the Bank had ' rged its public duty by promoting the •ests of the community targe, a\«d the et i"ence was, an addition to the increase ol polits, an( j increase of good will through the cin try, w|l fi had been conciliated by ; the fa« nished to it in the transac ; tiuns ot its t ies£ ,,, Upon these groum he cordially seconded the motion which gave the thanks of the Stockholders to the ad ministration of the Bank, as one that had , been able, faithful, and successful! Treasury Robbed I —The office of the : State Treasurer of Connecticut was forcibly entered on the night of the 30th ult. and robbed, not of the whole funds of the com monwealth, but of one dollar imdfort eight cents} the Treasurer having made de posites of cash in a safer place* We remark among ihe works recently re-* ' printed in London, and much appl.iudcd bv the professional cri tcs of that capital, the System of Midwifery wider Dr. Dewees j published in this city last aulumo, and | | which, as we understand, has nearly displa- ( ced all the treaties outlie same subject here- ■ jtofore used in the United Sta'es. Thi same I author is at present engaged in a work of 1 'high importance and universal interest—a 1 treatise on the Physical Edtcation of Chil dren, in which parents will find the best in- | formation and counsel.

Partridge's Academy.— Captain Par tridge’s Military, Scientific and Literary j Academy, which has been located for sever- ■ ai years past at Norwich, (Vermont,) and conducted with ability and stccess, is to be ren oved on Monday next to Middletown, (Con ) A large stone buildiig for the Aca I juemy has been erected on t|ii eminence a * j little west of the town, and the grounds a i round it are handsomely laid out and cn- j closed, for parade ground and experiments in the use of lire arms. The situation is e retired and healthy, and overlooks the sur rounding country and the Cmriecticuf river for several miles. Ihe building is four sto ries hit'll, and has comfortable apartments which will furnish quarters for 250 Cadets. r( There has already arrived at Middletown, i, 150 young gentlemen from different parts of the Uniied States, to join the Academy at the opening. The uniform pompanies of 'lie militia, in the vicinity, are invited to at- f r tend the anniversary and assist in the cere- L: monies of the clay ; and in the evening a splendid hall is to be given. [Post. Thi Carial. —tt appears from the Alba . uy papers, that the Toll Collector there, | had received no less than g II,382 on ac , count of toll on the canal collected in tiie mouth of August. During that period, 523 boats departed from Albany, conveying " eighteen hundred and nine tons of mer chandize : 174 tons of brick, clay and plas ter, and 21 tons household furniture.— Jb. Prayers Requested.—The editor‘?of the Christian Mirror, printed at Portland, a Mr. Parkhurst, formally requests the pray ers of his subscribers and patrons for him, not as being in a weak and low condition, but that his mind may be strengthened, ami he preserved from sinful temptations, being obliged to read over so many of the world’s newspapers, to collect a summary of what is doing in the world, for the benefit of his leaders ! He intimates that he has some times been disposed to laugh, and at other times he has felt much grieved at the folly and thoughtlessness of the world’s people. We are sorry for Mr. P. whose case is sin gular, even as distinguished from Christian editors, and will contribute at once all in our power towards the restoration of his mind to a sane and rational state, by crossing out his name in the list of our exchanges.
