■w I fil ors “ ofCB C£ ' dK * domestic Banks form 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. By your fellow-citizen, GEORGE R. GILMER.

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. 1 Insurance nnd Banking Company. —At an elec ition for Directors of the Augusta Insurance and Hanking Company, on Monday last, the following gentlemen were chosen : | I’eter Bennoch, John Fox, Nicholas Delaigls, Hays Bowdre, Alexander Graham, William Har per, Hoaea Webster, Jas.
