of 1, Dt tlieei ’ tirc circulating medium!
It is therefore of great im-!
tu n<‘e both to the Government, mid
re V that their issues should be so 1
’lie U - e< * controlled as to prevent
• evils of a vicious cuirency. Not-i
«i» thS . ,EUtsil!g OUi * staple productions
<o/* C k i U cotlstalltl y declining in price!
- r trie last ten years, the number of our!
Banks * lave been as regularly increa-j
, And at no time heretofore has
anting privileges been more eagerly
sought after, than at present, when our
staple commodities are reduced to the ;
lowest price at which they can be pro-!
dtriod. There is some reason to appre
hend that the desire for the increase of
»ank@ proceeds as much from the spir
it cl speculation, which the universal ha
,J,t of trading upon credit, has created a 1
'■nongour people, as the necessity for an
additiona. quantity of currency to repre-l
emit the circulating wealth of the coun-|
try. Whilst the Government is confer
ring upon particular corporations the
exclusive right of issuing notes to supply
the place of specie, it ought assuredly to
protect the interest of the people from
the improper exercise of such a privilege. (
It will be perceived by an examination
o! the Bank Reports of the present and
several preceding years, that the issues
oieaoh Bank and of the whole collect
ively have been more than double the a
mount ofspccie in their vaults. Every
Bank may therefore be considered un
able to redeem its notes, in specie, upon
any sudden and general demand. The
community is not at present suffering a
ny particular injury from this state of
things, because of the regtilar state of
our home and foreign market and the un
disturbed quiet of the country. Convul
sions in trade will however take place at
some time. Upon the first General de
mand for specie, the Banks must press
their debtors, curtail their issues, and
perhaps stop payment, and thus bring
ruin upon many, and distress upon the
whole people.
It is well worthy of your consideration,
whether some precaution cannot be u
sod sgainst the occurrence of evils of
such magnitude. For this purpose per
mit me to suggest to you the policy of
making the Banks subject to the pay
ment of a large percent; upon all sums
of their notes, the payment of which may
be demanded by the holder (not being
the of any other Bank or Corpora
tion,) in specie, which they may emit, or
refuse to comply with.
As however, this remedy might not be
very effective, until the evil to be preven
ted was actually felt, 1 would specially
recommend that you prohibit the circu
lation, after a certain length of time, of
all Bank notes under the value of five dol
lars. The effect of this measure will be
to make gold and silver supply the place
of the notes, which will be thus excluded
from circulation, create a constant sup
ply of specie in the. country, & thereby
enable the Banks through their debtors
to meet occasional pressures upon them
for species, and to render the whole cur
rency whether of Bank notes or coin, of
equal value. That, part of the communi
ty whose money must always beta small
notes, who have but little knowledge of
tho state of the Banks or the genuineness
of their bills, would by this measure be in
some degree secured from forgeries and
failures from which they mud always
suffer more in proportion to their means
than other classes of the community, so
long as bank notes form the exclusive
currency of the State.
The doubt which is entertained of the
Constitutionality of the law which cre
ates the Central Bank, on account of the
authority which it gives to the Directors
to issue Bills, would justify an alteration
of the law in that report. The State
■would also derive from such a measure
an additional security against attempts
lo make the issues of the Bank corres
pond rather with the demands of the
people for money than the quantity of
public funds in its possession.
A statement of the warrants drawn
upon the Treasury during the past year
is laid before you.
A splendid map and atlas of the State
of New-York has been, by tho direction
of its Legislature, presented to Georgia,
in a manner worthy of the munificence
of that State.
I cannot conclude this message, with
out calling your attention to the serious
public injury which must follow from
the number of oaths which are required
to be administered by our laws. No
truth is better tested by experience than
that oaths lose their proper effect upon
the consciences and conduct of most
men, in proportion to the frequency of
their repetition. And yet we continue
to divest them of their sanctity by re
quiring them to be taken upon all occa
sions, and for the most trivial purposes..
The consequences must necessarily be
increasing immorality and the general
K security ofall public and private rights,
e preservation of which in any man
ner depend upon the testimony of wit
nesses.—The extent of the evil demands
an immediate and adequate remedy.
With the strongest desire of main-!
tnining the honor and rights of the
State, and promoting the happiness of
its people, these various matters are
submitted to your consideration.

‘‘ Tuff Qnene’s fete a tele with Jud s * Smith.
J JUDGE SMITH,
A writer in the United States Gazette has given,
f an account of an interview between the editor of this
paper and Judge Smith, of South-Carolina, so er
f roneous as to require correction,
*j ; A f ew days after the adjournment of the Anli-Ta
riff Convention, the editor called at Brown’s Hotel,
,to see a gentleman from Virginia, returning from
j that Convention, of which he was a member. A*
. he was leaving the hotel, he saw Judge Smith in the
r bar-room. In going to the door, he approached
j Judge Smith, and both bowed, and at the sametime
i ext ended hands to each other. The Judge then led
* j the editor, still holding him by the hand, to the
P farther end of th* room, when the following dia
logue ensued i— ,
[I JuJf* Unceh. A friend has just placed in my
f hana your paper, in which you have very improper
,ily introduced the name of myself and family, I will
( not permit you to drag me and my family into your
I quarrels.
,j Editor. Ido not-conceive, Sir, that I have in
. troduced your name into this matter. lam the edi
, tor of a public press, and it is my duty to speak of
public men and public measures, four friend, Mr, 1
Speer, had written a letter to Governor Miller, in'
which h(*introduced your name, and said expressly
that he was acting on your advice ; yet the Globe
took advantage of that letter to charge Mr. Calhoun
1 with treachery, and conspiring against Gen, Jack
i son and the administration. In using your name to
counteract the false imputations of the Globe, 1 have
i but discharged a duly to the public, of which 1 do
i not conceive that you have any right to complain,
i Judge Smith. I have not seen Mr. Speer, and
have nothing to do wiih his publications, andyou
i had no right (o introduce my name.
Editor. Mr. Speer’s letter speaks for itself; and
I presume you will not deny that he is acting with
you as a political ally.
Judge Smith. But, Sir, my grand daughter is
dearer to me than my life, and t will spill my heart's
blood in her defence. You introduced her name
into your paper, and you must take it out. How
dare you say that she did not visit Mr*. Eaton >
Editor.. In speaking of your family, I used no
term* of disrespect, I only stated a fact, well
known in this city at the time ; and 1 did so to show
that you and Mr. Calhoun held the same relation to
Major Eaton’s family, and thus to shew that the in
ference drawn from Mr Speer’s letter was not cor
rect. You say that I must lake your family out of
my paper. The only way to do this is to pul them
m again, with a contradiction of what I have said.
Now, if you will authorise me to say that they did
. vi »“ Mrs. Eaton, 1 will most cheerfully say so, as
upon your authority.
Judge Smith. To.u put them into your paper
without my authority, and you must take them out j
without it. ,
Editor. As I before said, t have said nothing a
bout your family which should be cause of offence, ’
I have said no more of them than I said of my own
friends. As the editor of a public paper, Ido not
ask your permission, or that of any other individual, I
to do what 1 conceive it my duty to do t and unless!
1 I can be satisfied that what I have said is incorrect,
no correction will be made.
Judge Smith. 1 was one of your best friends, I
, until you dragged my name into the quarrel* of
’ your friend, Calhoun.
Editor. However much 1 may regret the loss of
your friendship, 1 have the consolation to know
that it was lost by no fault of mine ; and 1 most be
excused for correcting you in a matter of fact. It
was you who dragged me in, Judge South. It was
you, Sir ! It was you, and made me a party in your
quarrel with Mr Calhoun.
Sir ! Look at the falsehoods you published about
' me in the Senate !
r! Editor. Judge Smith i You are an old man, and
f I cannot therefore resent such language, as I other
i wise would; but I ask you, Sir, to remember tbat I
do not permit any one to speak to me in such terms.
Judge Smith. I ask no protection of my age, Bin
,1 am able to protect myself.
Editor You may torget what ia due to your age 1
p 1 and condition in society; but you cannot make maj
disregard what ia due to mine.
Judge Smith. You did drag me into Mr. Cal
houn’* quarrels; and bo is the domn’deet iccuadrol
.in the United '.itatas, and li intend to prove him so.
Editor. Os Mr. Calhoun, and your quarrels with
hint, tins is neither the time or place for the discus
sion : and if you, after having filled the most re
spectable public stations, do not feel yourself de
graded by the exhibition you have made, in such a
place, (a public bar room) I do, and must therefore
decline further participation in it.
fudge Smith. I ought not to have spoken to you,
! Sir.
Editor. That was a matter of your own choice,
and tome of perfect indifference.
