Now. Mr. Editor, 1 think your correspondent al lows his teal to mil away with him. He has not rightly considered the position of Savannah. He knows or ought to know, that she is not prepared to iindert.ika new busine-s—ihnt her menus are too narrow. Imr Banking Capital too limited—her merchants cribbed, cabined,cramped, nnd fettered, even by tlm business they note tin—imd yet he Mould nppn-s* them, not. with tlm now luirih'ii dloiie ol'fifty iliOUMaiid bull's ColliMi but witli their equivalent in groceries nn l dry-goods, By'r Lndv n i* lik" giving a 'Sirloin ton Ovsp-ctie— These things, Sir, require discount- and eredi's, and your correspondent must know that wo cannot obtain the one, and dare not grant tho other. It would be just as unreasonable to expect our Savun- unit Banks to emulate the mammoth monied power of Charleston, in discounting four and six mouths- paper, as to c ilouhte upon Savannah inviting coun try bu <incss and extonding Charleston credit to her customers. Mark mo, Sir, I am not a contemner of Savannah, I know her primitive strength—her elements of greatness—and that with half tho banking capital other riv.tl-*ister-city, she would impart wealth, and life, and vigour, through every chauncl other proud aad lofty State — scatter plenty o'er a smiling land, And read'her hist'ry in n nation's eyes. But I do *ay\ tint while our monied facilities re main as they ore, she must continue what she is—a new trade would b • a new curie to her, and every effort made by her merchants to open fresh chan nel* of her commerce, and extend their engage ments with tho interior, will only prove the garner ing up for themiclvca tilo c'aulwrou* evils of over trading. „ . - Z..

We, in common with our contemporaries, are often mortified hy receiving letters like the following. It is ccrtninly ton bad that after all tho labour and at tention which is necessarily bestowed on a daily, newspaper, that our desires should bo foiled, and the public disappointed by the culpability or neglect of' somo counfly postmaster, who fails to do his very simple duty. We know, of course, tho post offices through which tho paper directed to Mr.P. passes; nnd if the offence is repeated, shall feel it our busi ness! to seek redress in tho proper quarter. Wa- mny, at the same time, asurc all our subscribers, that their papers nro mailed carefully, and that no blame; should be attached to those in our employment. Here is tho letter—it speaks for itself. Jacksonville, Ga. 27th March, 1839. Dear Sin.—I do not receive more titan one num ber in six of the Georgian. Is the fault in giving it the right direction 7 Or how comes it 7 Is not my address overlooked in preparing the papers for mail 7' I wish you to be particular in my address, also write upon tho wrapper for tho postmasters to let it pnssonto me, for I have some apprehension it is stopped by tho way. If I cannot get my papors I must stop it, and subscribe for nnothcr that I can receive. The Georgian is a paper I like, not only on ac count of its political sentiments—but for commercial ^ purposes. £ Very respectfully, yours, J. • P- THE REPORT OF MR. YOUNG. In this day's Georgian, we conclude the Report'- of Mr. Young, of the Senate of New York on the ' Abolition Question. We believe every man who boa- road that documont will agree with us that it it ablest paper they have ever read on that 1 Its historical details show the research of its a its close and logical argument exhibits his < ability. Mr Young is a democrat—a supporter of Mr. Van Buren, and a man of very high character and vast erudition Is it not cheering to us of the South, - who have ever battled under tho republican flag, to find such able lies amongst our Northern brethren T What Whig of tho North couldl or if he could, dart pronounce the truth* that Mr. Young has given ut terance to 7 Not ono. Our opponents in this State can produce no such evidence of devotiun to tho South on the part of their Whig Allies of the North. We ran show many. Mr. WmrrLX of Rhode, Is land, Mr. Athehton, of New Hampshire, Mr. ‘ETntKEN, of Pennsylvania, Mr. Inoersoll, of tho same State, Mr. Niles of Connecticut, Mr, Wright, of New York, and last, though nut least, Mr Youxo, also of the Empire State, have given irrefragable evi dence of their attachment to tho South, in their oft- repeated and noble defence other principles, W« could enumerate others—all Democrats, who think with the same mind, and speak with the stmo voice, in support of our Southern Institutions, fat- our opponents, If they can, show what sympathy motfc •• cm Whigs hnve with (he Suuih, or her Institution!. • Let them show when and where they defended B!» Until they do, wo must rogudiaMthoatiwof WMf^
