Her great mineral wealth, added to her natural advantages for es j tablishing manufactories of every description, would put in requisition all the intelligent white la bor that can be introduced among us.

For some canse, best known to the members of flie Alabama State Convention, they have voted to repudiate the debt of the State contracted du ring the War. This is a matter for the Legisla ture of tire State of Alabama to decide, and the State Convention had no business to touch it — already by repud It is reported that the Convention of Alabama attempts to'shield itself behind the pretext that the Govern ment of the United States requires that the debt be repudiated. It is a sufficient reply, to say the State debt is a matter with which that Govern ment has not, and cannot have, any thing to do. The people of the Uni ted States cannot, in any event, be called in to pay any part of it, and t! ey have ifo just concern about it.

The.greater poition of the debt of Georgia was incurred in providing for the indigent and suffering poor of the State. If the State repudiates her debt, the Banks do the same and the people ought to do likewise. In finite confusion will then prevail. Thousands of the citizens of Georgia hold her State notes for services rendered the State in a civil capacity.— The duties performed, and the labor bestowed, would have necessarily been occasioned, if there had been no war.
