Tho National I\Uvlligencer, of tho 18tli Inst., en dorses sentiments contained in the Baltimore Chronicle, which trumpets thu popularity of Mr. Clay in the South. The Chronicle says: The Charleston Courier publishes that portion of the address of tho Whig Central Committee of Vir ginia which refers to Mr. Clay, und appends to it, through a correspondent, tho following remarks: "Tile voice of Virginia is the voice of the South. Look ut the spontaneous outbreaking* of popular feelings on the Fourth ! Van Uurkn Inis had his turn.

The country has call ed for Cl.AY ill its liino of trouble; it now seeks to honor him in its day of prosperity Tho tuition seeks to reward its oldest servant, who bus wuikcd most und longest without pay.” Tim Charleston Courier has, more than once, do <dured its preference for Mr Van Buukn.

Joskth Sturois'^*-' - Sir,—I have received your letter requesting my views on tho following subjects :— 1st. The incorporation (if a National Bunk. 2d. The separation of the finances of the Govern meat from Banks. 3d. My views iti regard to the candidate fur thu Presidency. Tho history of the Bank nf the United States f r a few years prior to tho expiration of its charter 1 fully proves not only the inexpediency of a National Bunk, but also tho great danger to bo apprehended from such an institution to the purity of the National Councils and thtVliberty of the people. The main objects in establishing primarily a Bank of this sort, was to constitute a convenient fiscal'agent, to con duct tho financial concerns of tho country. It never was intended to be any thing more than an instru ment in the fttuds of the Government to an swer the purpart of the Government It nev- CI*\w.is instituted with a view, either to spec- - uiation or individual profit. Had it been, it never would have received the sanction of Gen. Washington. The late. Bunk, , hoVvovcr, not content to act, as this agent, in subserviency to the will of the Govornmcn', set itself up *o think and judgbifortho Government. This con sequential agent dssumus tho haughty tone of dicta tion, and says to its principal—"you aro incapable of managing your own affair* without my aid, you must continue my agency." It- resorted to means loo well calculated to effect its objects. It made loans of enormous amounts to members of Congress, and tho publishers of newspapers, and thaoxtranrdi- nary coincidence, between the period of those loans, and that of a change of course on the part- of many of the persons to whom thoy were mode, • proves conclusively the powerful influence ofthe' a.rthrmonti addressed to them-1 cannot believe it expedient to @!je — —- —- W - — incorporate an institution u an appendagri.'to 'the* Chutes, Government liublo tu so much abuse, and 1' fully concur with the resolution passod by ihe Demo cratic t members of Congress at the extra session of 1837 on this subject. My views have been tha same for several year*. In 1831,1 offered in *ho Senate as a substitute for resolutions offered by another Senator on the same subject, a preamble and troiblutiona which you will receive Inclosed, which will shmsr you tho ground which I then occupied. Another 'gyaod and insuperable objection to the Incorporation of a Notional Bank, is that from in fallible Indications on the part of the late Bank, we catWfltaxptct such an institution to exist without identifying itsalf with tho politics of the day. We any expect It to wield it* vast resources and influ- •oce to,build up its favorites, and prostrato ail those who have boldness and independence enough to anduvour to confine it strictly within tha bounds of a men fiscal agency. A control of this sort is to bo •iMtraly deprecated in a Government where the •inly passport* to popular favour should be patriot- Jsm, integrity, and experience, supported by good "•bnsoand persotiulrwenrisy^-the next matter on which you ask my opinion, is tho separation of tho Government fmm ‘Bunks—commonly called tho Divorce. I am favourable to the measures recom mended by the Administration on this subject. I tint notable to conceive how any statesman can tnninUiin the rloctriuo that tho people should bo taxed to ruisu money to be placed in Bunks to bo used by them as their own funds, loaned out for their own benefit, und exposed to nil the hazard of reverses in merca-ilile operations. Tito people of tlte country uro patriotic. They pay not only will ingly, but with alacrity, all tho taxes necessary to suppuri the Government, whicli is tl^creuturo of their will, uml which affords them protection, ami under illicit they havo prospered to a degree uncquulled by tiny oilier nution on the face of tha Globo. if u law should be passed by the Nutionul LcgislulU'o to raise by tuxation a fund to be placed in tho vaults of a private corporation for lliu benefit of the stockholders, the people would ri«o en matte, withnrmsin their hands from Maine to the Sabino to resist it, uml yet tho pet Bank sys tem is in effuct and practico very much the same thing. Tite revenue of tin count-y is collected, placud in tho Banks, mingled with the common stbck,atid dealt out ns private prop- rty, and should the Batik fail through tho defalcation or misman agement of its officers, or any of the misfortunes to •which such institutions are subject, there is no sponsibility,—tho public mu-t sustain the loss, nod the people bo again tutted to raise tho necessary supplies. It is only necessary for this system to be examined rand understood, to bo univerrally con demned. C?n regard to tho cundirlnto for the Presi dency, rliuvo nu reason to regret the preference I have given Mr. Vun Buron, among those who are likely to be before tho people. Tho independent course which he has pursued und which ha* impro perly brought down upon him the malediciions of a portion of tho people in part-ctiiar sections of tho country, ought to fix firmly upon his udministrution the affections of every patriotic citizen, lie tins been the President of tlte entire nation, and bus niunfiilly opposed nil effort* to destroy that spirit of compromise, forbearance,nnd concession in which tho present federal constitution was formed and by whi It it is to bo hoped it will ho maintained and perpetuated. Ho lias uniformly, wIi'mi occasion re. quhvd it, discountenanced nil attempts to interfere witli the domestic rights and institutions of the Sou thern Suites, und slmdi pledged to exercise bis cou-tiliiiionul right of veto to uny luw, whicli may I o pussed by Congress affecting these rights in any quarter. This he iiu* do .o, whim lie knew he was thereby ji-opurding bis popularity in strung nnd puw- vt fill Status. Thu man, who voluntarily sacrifices his personal interest und popularity in thu maintenance of right and justice, deserves, mid should receive the support of thu wise and good. So fur us it inis been developed, I find nothing tu cunsura or con- dentil hi Mr. Van Bur.m’s policy townrJs foreign initions^^ly reply to yotti inquiry bus perhaps been s, un out to a greater length than was nucos- nary, hut L d i not seo that I could have presented it in a more condensed form, and made it satisfac tory to myself. I hop* you wUl .tut ,,«> it, to correct misrepresentations of tny views nnd opih< ions on tho subjects to whicli you have called my attention. I do not wish it used to produce any other effect or result Respectfully your ob’t servunt, cuas. j. McDonald. COPY OF RESOLUTIONS. '1 be expediency -jf ruchm taring tlm Bunk of the United Stuti-s having become u question of much interns! to the country, the Gcnoral Assembly of Georgia f'el justified in giving nu expression of its viow* upon this subject. It wits established prima rily ns tho agent of the Givi rnm.ni in tlte collection of its revenue, und tho disbursements of its funds in various section* of tlie country, win-re it tnighi lii'cntno necessary to use them. It has subserved, it is true, many valuable interests, und chiefly its equalization of the currency, bn* beon of great ben efit to tho country. But it was never intended tu be any thing more thuu un instrument in the bunds •I’tho Government for eflecting the ubovu named national objects. 1 A* it is the ngent, or the instru ment of tho Government therefor ', with which ilia liuunciul interest of tho community ore so deeply und intlmiiluly connected, it would seem that with out uny express resetvntion for that pm pose in tho charter, Congress should at nil times huve the right to examine into the state and condition of'its af fair*. If it is beyond tlte reach, powtr or control of tho Guiorimicnt, it iscertninly an unsnfu depmu itory of the public funds. Tho Secretary of tho Treasury, who at nil times being n subordinate part ofthe Executive Government, is subject to thn con trol and direction of the Chief Magistrate of tho Union, has the powei expressly given to him by luw, to withhold ut his pleasure, from the Bunk, the right to receive thu public fund*. This is a p over discretionary with him and Ids discretion is subordinate o that of the chief executive, nnd it mny be exercised even arbitrarily, but ought ulways to ho exercised win n the public in terests requiru it. From developemcnu mnde l>y actual investigation nnd public discussion, there cun be no question but th-it the Uni ted States Bunk has wielded its vh*i resources to coerce Cnngiei* to grant un extension of its charter. Its influence upon tho press has been seen, und it is to bo fearo-i that it 1ms insinuated its corruptions into higher places. From being the mere agent of thu Govoriimcul,it bus attempted to control thu Gov. ornment itself. Such an institution in tho hands of evil men will certainly become dangerous to the li -erties of th'* people. If it should succeed in ob taining an extension of iu charter now, u future re newal of its grant will become mure easy, and it may perpetuate its existence upon tho Government. It i* palpable to the understanding of all w ho will give the subject due reflection, tlint it is unwise und uns ife to oxteitd the grant of such n corporation. Be it therefore revolved by the Senate and Mouso of Representative* of tlm State of Georgia, in Gen eral Assembly met, Tlint our Senutor* in Congress bejnnructed, a in I our Representatives requested. tlte Senate of the United States, in the adoption of the resolution of the 28th March Inst by that ito-ly. and its subsequent rvfurat to enter un it* jotirnuU the protest of the President thereto, us unprecedented, unjuvt tu tha President nnd u-ihecotning thu dignity of lliut body; und adopting thu langiiuga used by the legist ituro of New Hampshire on this subject, 4th.

RAIL ROADS IN GEORGIA. We refer our readers generally to the following : To the Editor of the Georgian. Silt:—It is stated ii* a fact, that tho Chief Engi neer of tho Georgia Ilnil Rond i* engaged nt the North in distributing u Map of Gcorgin, whicli de lineate* tho course nf tlm Rnii Road from Augustit to Madi-on, Am*., and continuing it to WeAt Point; nnd which ulso show* tho route of tho Brunswick and Florida Rond—but which omits all notice of the Central Roil Road from Savannah to Macon. Moreover, it is said that the River Ogcclico, nnd some of tho inlund towns, nro iuid down on tho Map incorrectly. Now, Sir, tho author of thnt Map, and the Director* of the.Georgia Ruil Bond know the existence of such a Rond n* tho Control Rail Rond—that it is travelled duiiy by locomotives for 80 miles—thut it is graded for 125 miles, und that the superstructure is going nn ot the rato of a mile u week. They also know, that although tito lino of Rood from Brunswick to Florida has been run, not a foot of the Rond has ynt been graded. And more than all this—they know that the Geor gia Company has no charter to extend their road to West Point. There is such a wunt of common justice in the distribution of the Map referred to, that it Iiu* becomo necessary thus publicly to notice it.

Tho Chevalier iikGkrstnkii. a gumlenum in the Russian service, und now iu this country, Iiu* Ih-uii employed by hi* Government, to inquire into and report on tho improvements made in tlm United Stutes, by means of Railroads. IIo has mnde u voluminous report already, or rather a cuinpQrisoii between the Railroad* of tho United States und those ofitliu Kingdom of Belgium. It is very inter esting, and wo make the following extracts:— The rapid increuso of Interim! Improvements in tho United Stutes Ims excited fur several years pub lic attention iu Europe, and the friends of those im provements desired very much n detailed report oq tho extent and progress of those works and purlieu* larly ot' Railroads. There is no such report publ halted iu ilio United States, and even those publishurl in'England, France, and Germany are very imper il! 1824 I had charge of thn first Railroud on tho, 1 continent of Europe to connect tho livers Moldmi and Donubo iu Austria, by n lino which is 130 miles long, nnd sinco 1832 in operation. I run- structed in 1830 und 1837 the first Railroad in Uns- siu, from St. Petersburg to Zttrskoc-Sr In und Paw- lowsk, a lino nf only 17 miles in length, Imt iiu* commencement nf n Railroud of 420 mile* from St. Petersburg to Moscow. Tills Railroad being like- wiso in fud operation, 1 left Europe lust fall urn! arrived in tho Great Western on tho 15th or No- vernher 1838, at New York. After a short stay of a few duys I went to Albany and inspected all Rail- roads between tlint place and Lake Erie; I th u proceeded to tlte Eastern States nnd visited all Rail roads in Massachusetts, und went via New York, PiiHadolpliin, Baliiutoro. Washington, through Vir ginia, North und South Carolina, Georgia, uml Ala- .batnn, to Now Orleans, ulways visiting tho Railroad lines in the diflbreiit States. I went then up thu Mississippi nml Ohio, und nfn now inspecting thu Intornul Improvements of tho Western States und some of those in Pennsylvania, which l Imvo nut yet seen. I have already pnssod over more than 2000 miles of Railroads, and Imvo every where boon received with the gnuituiit kindness; tho Presidents, Direc- t"in, and Engineers of tho differ.ml Railroad linos gnvo me not only till their printed reports, hut Iuid before me,with the greatest liberality, their books uml accounts, in order to give mo every kind of infurnta tion. I fulfil only my duty when 1 publicL acknow ledge, that such u libornlity is nnlv to lio found utmmgsl u Irco and enlightened people, wlfi're ail public works ure based on the priuc'ple of publicity, und whore secrets do not oxist. I wish, there fare, to nmko those goutlumeii, to w li m I nm so much indebted, nn -tlior communication, which will show nt the same time what bus been done during the last years n Europe. Having within n few iluys re ceived thu lust Reports of tha Belgian Railroads, 1 tmMUh in tho fallowing, abstract the history and progress of those >rilntnuiil- iitionsTn Uulg.ilm, to gether witli a comparison of them with tho Ameri can Uuilrourls. Acco ding to the fact* collected dhring my travels since my nrrivnl in Now York, there ore now over three thousand miles of Railroads completed and in operation in liarL’niifd Slates; 425 locomo tives, uf whicli tho greatest lumber were made in this country, run on the several Railroad-, and I believe, that up'to the end of 1839, the length of Railroads in the United States may amount to 4100 miles. Tho cnpitul expended on tho Railroads now in operation is about sixty millions of dollars, or ut un average cost of twenty thousand dollar*per mile, far which sum tlm Ruilroads, witli tlm buildings, Imvo beon constructed, uud lliu necessary locomo tives uml cars bought. Several Railroads have beon uiidcrtnken with in sufficient menus, und dm shareholder* found them selves under the necessity of employing the income or the first year in improving tito Railroad, in build- ing ongino houses, &c., and purchasing locomotives uud cars. In ennsoquunco of this the shareholders got during that Unto no dividends, Imt the Rnilroud still yielded ii good i> come. Other Railroads, when finished, paid from five to ton por cent, income to the s ockholdr rs; others have not yet paid any divi dends for want ot a sufficient number of passengers and freight. J lie average result of thu Railroads now in operation in lie United State* is, that they give a yearly interest afJive and a half percent, on the capital inn sitd. The result must bo re garded as very sat Uluclory, because the greatest purl ot thu lines have only been a lew years in operation. On nil lines there is u yearly increase of nt least I** t®20 per coat in tho gross income, so thut even thorn lines which do not pay now will give In a few veurs u liundsontu dividend. According to these statements, passed on thu communications collected in this country, l hnvo no doubt, that the large capi tal invested in Railroads, in tho United States, will not only produco an incalculable bonlit to tho coun- try, but likewise pay tho shareholders a dividend which under good management, hy the constant pro gress in population and trade, must likewise Irom year to year increase.

Atnori- ( Whig) admitted plainly, lliut it wus u loan— a " lair business trunsuctiuii”—but one, I guess, llntt few other inon could obtain iu these hard times —thu N. Y. Commercial (Whig) made a flourish, but did not take on itself tito responsibility or deny ing tho truth of tho report. It stands now without contradiction—maugre tho splenetic Mr. "Q’s." bow-wow! A clergyman, the other thy, in Boston, rompluin- ed that Mr. WtcnsTtcu received a larger " sum from his party to enable him to muku a display in Eu rope, than hail liemicuntrilmti'd in the whole United States, for the support of foreign missions!" ' Tho Albany Argus of tho !5th, replies to the N. York Whig, a forl'irul paper, that of course hurrah* for tho "big gun," most eUbctiully. The Argus says :— " Now it is barely possible that Injustice Ims beon dono to Mr. Wobstor in tho premisesBut wo huvo seen no satisfactory explanation any where of tlm " transaction," whatever it was, which made so much noire ut the time, and whir.lt, thu “ Whig" now attempts to brush away by a single flourish of ncoarsupon. Tho only attempts, that now occur ton*, ever matin tu viurlicutu Mr. W. from tho charge of hnving been tho recipient of •" whig" money to a largo amount, as an outfit to Europe, were those of the N.

Sucli at nil events was the impression they niarlo upon us at thu time. Tito C. A. stood moreover directly contradicted hy tito N. Y.

And thus tho mutter stood by common consent—tho friends of Mr. W. preferring to speak of the affair us u loan, and ovary body also being content, now that " fair business transactions" have becninosu well understood, to let it pass ns such. Thus much wo havo thought proper to say in ro- ply to thu Whig’s assertion tlmt tito story of tho " Webster rout" hurl l oon " nailed to iho counter" us t» " base calumny.” As to flic transaction hav ing been alluded to by tho clcrgymun in question, ns mutter of crimimm notoriety, mid in contrast with tho contributions throughout tho U.
