MILLEDGKVlLLE. Nov. 10.
I am glad that bills huvo been introduced in the
legislature to repeal lows, which however good they
may intrinsicolly be, remain na deed letter* on the
statute book. There ia nothing more evident of do
fective legislation, thun the enactment of laws that
cannot noram strictly enforced and executed. No
State in tho Union has promulgated laws which are
so openly violated as Georgia. It is timo that a
radical reform should bo effected in our legislation,
Law* of sufficient explicitness and severity oxist, in
regard to the issue and circulation of change bill*)
not only by incorporated companies, but by private
individuals. And yet tlie country, especially this
section of the State, is inundated with change bill*
of various shapes and descriptions, nnd signed by
individuals known only in the immediate neighbor
hood of their residencu, and of whose mean* to re
deem Ihosechnngebills very little iaknown, ifknown
at ail, by those who are obliged to take them as
money. The laws ugniust llio issue and cirrulation
of change bills should be repealed, and I hopo the
present legislature will act in this matter ns it should
do, because the laws are considered as null ami void
by the pcoplo for whose government they Were cer
lately enacted.

PETITION.
GEoRQIA, ClIATIllX CotoNTY t
Tho undersigned, citizens of the Cdnnty of Chat
ham and of tho CTiy df SaVAhnah, respectfully prey
the GchoVai AlseWMy of the StAto of Georgia, W
pass nn Act nbthdristog Artd requiring tho Rxail.
TRATloh olr VoTKft* In said County end City, with
such provisions as may ttt dectrted best adapted lo
prevent frauds at election* held therein.
The safeguard of our institutions consists in tho
purity of tho elective franchise. A* the ond sought
by its exercise is to asiertnln the will of a majority
ofthuso whom aluno the Constitution recognltai a*
the sovereignty: so whatever tends to defeat this
result is, hostile to the Constitution and subversive
of the highest privilege of citizenship.
Experience has proved thut, in closo'y settled dis
tricls. tho sanctions which tho laws havo thrown
around Ibis right, are insufficient for its duo protec
tion; and especially Is this truo of sea ports, where,
from tho caio of access, many who are not entitled
to vote, are assembled, ond may, if so disposed, with
little fuaVof detection and punishment, commit gross
fret)d* upon the rights of qualified Dleetors. Accor,
dingly, a measure similar to thut prayed for, has
been found necessary in many of out; sister cities,
and hss been attended with signal success. It inter,
farts with no constitutional provision; it introduces
no new quolifications^-it seeks only lo guard o sa
cred right, by subjecting thoso qualifications to
more rigid scrutiny. Among it* benefits, not tho
least is thoprevcnlion of the crime of perjury; tho
temptations of which, in many cases, are ton strong
to be counteracted by tho system now in force. This
fact alone would bo conciusiue of Its utility.
From local.position, our election* are peculiarly
exposed to bo Influenced by unlawful means. The
city ofSsvannah has, in ond near it, several great
public works; it is a seaport with a Inrgo and in
creasing coasting and foreign trade: it is tho com
mercial capital ofan extensivo regions nnd it is tho
terminating paint Ufa Rail Road which traverses n
populous portion of the State: all which causes, with
others unnecessary to bo specified, collect within its
limits a multitude of strangers, throw open tho door
to Illegal voting and perjury, render it impossible to
arrivo at tho general will through the ballot box, and
in casos of close elections, may thrust upon tho citi
zens men and measures, not approved by a mnjoti-
•y-
Impressed with tho conviction that a Registry
Law furnishes tho only remedy for these evils, the
undersigned solicit tlmeaVly attention of the Legis
lature to the subject; and do earnestly prey fir the
establishment of such a system as shall in future of.
fectually secure to the citizen* of Chnihnm County
and of the City and HamlouufSavannah, thoenjoy
raent ofthoir frgaf rights.

It is very ques ienablo whether India, whit ul|
the efforts now in progress by the enterprise of
British industry, will over yield Cotton in quality
and stnplo equal to that grown in the Southern
States of Nurtli America. The Cotton plant ha* its
pacuiuvitUa, U wilLaoly. produce,certain qualities
within limited lutitudei, localities ami soil*. Tlie
following article extracted from a sketch of a contrast
between tho Nile and the Mississippi, by Dr.
of Rodney, Miss., throws some light on tbit sub
ject*
"The Nile, like the Mississippi, has its limited
region for the growth of the cotton plunt. VVhilo
tho valley of the Nile contains three degrees uf lati
tude mure profitablo for cultivation, tho product is
one-fifth in quantity uf that of Mississippi, The
difference in quantiy to the note, is in part owing to
tho high waters which occjr* ut an unfavorablo
irriod—a timo when tho cotton bolls are mure rap-
dly forming than at any o her timo of tha annual
growth, and when.tho tap rout huving descended
lifteon feet, suffers decay frum being soaked in
the water. The fibre is long ond silky, possessing
a like number of nodules, and is often found to pnr-
take of the cream or orangu color, which it acquire*
from a union of the oil nnd ulkali i<f the fibre. This
occurrence is less frequent witlt the - cotton of the
Mississippi, on account of t .o much dampness uf
the climutc—but where it dues exist, cun be detect
ed by ontoring a gin cation room at night, as it fuil*
not to impart the smell of sqap* The cotton ofSyria,
Palestine, and Asia Minor, is without this color;
tho fibia is short and less fine, and tho product to
the ncro isnhoulofro-olghth of thnt of the cotton, re
gions of Mississippi. Such a difference in thn
quantity and quality of the cotton may proceed
tram too much dryness of tho growing period and
the coolness of tho spring and ful. seasons. Thus
it appears that in all countries whure tho summers
ore without rain, and the atmosphere as dry as in
thoso of the countries above mentioned, tho cotton
plantcentlot bo Very profitublyculiivnted.
Wo arn inclined to think that all the cotton ro-
geons of South America, as well at those of Asia
and Africa, aro occompanird hy such citfiUmtuncns,
or, as in tho East Indie* and Mexico, attended with
too much rain during tha growing season. Honcp
the conclusion is, thnt tlie cotton plant it must pro
fitably cultivated in the United States—and that
considering tho continued waning of tho people of
all other cutlon countries, the article fur centuries
will continue to be the most profitably cultivated
of all the products of the American Stales."

and of securing ids oVrn re-election.
3d. Brcautc, ha has attempted to Usurp tha first
powor* of tho legislative department of the Govern
ment, by Asserting rights not vested in tho Execu
live by tho Constitution, and by Using tho honors of
xWm *#|M.».tl«, tho profit* <tf office, and the Dower of
party, to destroy nil indopendence-bf thought and
action on tho purl of tho Representatives of tha
People, nnd to make .them his .subservient tools,
by rotvunllnf nueli ot them at ilia people shno/il
reject | for botrd/lng their dearest Interest; thus
conco it rating nil power in llm linnd* of the Exe
cutivn, and thus attempting ta make our government
in nvory thing but the name, an electiva mohtitcliy.
4th. Because ho has established nnd practised
upon the principles of confiding office upon hi* por^
tisuns, without reference to their integrity ond com
petency, but with solo reference to their pnrti-an
services,and prelected them in official delinquencies
with the view of subserving party ends, to the great
injury of the public service,to tho oncouingemont of
official defulcatiutis, robbery nf the public funds,and
shameless disregutd of public virtue in government
officers, whure evil example has greatlyl-iwcrrd the
standard of public morals. *
Stir. Brcriusc whon he coma to tho Presidential
Choir our public Treosury wo* full to overflowing,
our public Credit. State and National Unlimited, our
n lo prosperous ami happy, yet with professions
jld economy, ho nn.J his party, hy the most pro-
flignto and wasteful cxtmvngsuce, Imvo carried tip
our public ex|>cnditiire* to n point before wholly
unheard uf in our nationnlnnnali, and by that mranx,
and their gross incompotency, and unfitness to mnn-
Ago duV pecuniary ufi'ulrs, Hnd n sertus of ruckles*
experiments upon the currency of the country, they
now mAko our Treasury bankrupt, greatly impaired
our public credit, nniiihiluti-d privato capital and
credit, in thuiisnnd of instances, robbed wealth of
its luxuries, competency of its comforts, ohd lubour
of its htoail.
6th. UcUauiO repudiating the principle*,find prac
tices of our venerated ami pnitioiic ancestors, Im
pugning their integrity, aspersing their motives, and
contamning their wisdom, bn tins sought out in tire
antiguau-d despotisms of Europe—a »y*tcm for tha
collection, safe ki-eping ami disbursement of our pub
lic monies, foreign to nor Imbits, untuited lo our
condition, expensive and unsafe in it* operation, nnd
whitih Will place thortt in tho palms of thA hand!) of
his seivilu offioiuli, whose tenure of offiAo is his
will, and which violate* that great principle of civil
liberty, for which the blood (if our romotoancestors
was shod, which requires that iho purse and the
sword shall nOt bo united ill iliosntnelmnds.Bnd that
the mom y of the people slinllhe under the exclosivo
control of tho pouplu* representative*, and a syAtem
also which mnkes one currency fnt- tho people, und
another, and bettor currency for the servants uf rim
people. I s
7th. Because, to carry out tho last named odious
pleasures, he, through his puitisans in Congress
trampled under foot tho broad seal of New Jersey,
that emblem of her sovereignty and independence,
ousted fivo citizens, sent to Congress }iy the people
of New Jersey, to represent liioir interest, and put
in their rightful places five others, without better
evidence of right than tboir willingness to do tha
will of tho President.
8th. Becauso, tho hnppincss and prosiierity of
our whole dountry, require* a President of the wholo
Union, and not of a party.
9th. Becauso our people will thereby be delivered
from a military conscription, which seeks to drag
them from their peaceful homes, and necessary
business, to distant and inconvenient places, under
the pretence of traming them, a measure not only
unnecessary nnd vexatious, nnd violative of the
plain lettur and obvious spirit of the Federal Con
stitution, nut of which wuald bring in it* train
swarms of Federal Office livldur*, to bnrrass our
people, and to oat out theirs.
lOtli. Because Mr. Van ltitren's opinions at indi
cated hy his vote, and decimations, to llm consti
tutional powet of Congress uvrr the right of domes
tic slavery, renders him peculiarly obnoxious to the
slave holding Stater, and dsegeioui ns its Chief
Magistrate, to the peace of iho whole Union.
tilts. Finally omitting negative grievances—a
Chief.MugUtrare, tbewhob- course uf whoso admin
istration is thus mnrkcd by fitly, corruption, im
becility. wicked principles, nnd worse practices, is
unfit to bo tho ruler of a free people.
And be it further retolved, That in the opinion
ofthis Gcnnrnl Assembly* United States Bnnk,
properiy regulated nnd euirded, i* •*:- Ul, most
proper and convenient means, which can be devised
for tlie collection, safe kesping.aad disbur*omnntof
the public monies, nnd white mnnyi.f u* yielding to
tho convictions of our own judgments, nod the con
current authority of |||« Executive, Legirintive, and
Jtirlirial doparim-nt* nf the Government from its
formation, with a slight interval up io the timo of
tho second election of Gen. Jorkson. and to the wis
dom nnd patriotism of George Washington, James
Mudunn, und liuor illustrious compeers, Imliuva
that Congress does possess the c*tn»i [rational power
to charter a Bank, ycl we believe It indispensable to
tha benefit and prosperity of tha enuntty and happi-
ocn of rim people, that that q oast test should bo set*
tied by an amendment of lira Constitution bafore
such a power is exercised by Congress.

REGISTRY LAW*
To the Editor of the Georgian 1
Sin—I saw in yoar paper dfyestefrtay mottling a
copy of u petition for a Registry fetw, which is pro
posed to l,o sent up to lift Legislature.
I hud heard that soma of the leading federal
Whig* hero hnd intended such a petition, but I at
tributed thO design lo iht) IliHg of defeat then re
cently inflicted upon them by Democtalic Chatham,
and did not think it would bo carried into practice.
I object to the principle of Itfth A taW> as unconsti
lutionn! and oppressive I hope no Democrat will
sign it. The Democratic party In this city would
undoubtedly bo the gninel** by It, but I should be
sorry to see it imitate ita artlngrtnist party, the Fede
rnlist, so ns to sacrifice principle to expediency.
Tho truth is, this movbhteht tutors from a ‘clique
here Who thirtk thkt jolt nOw they have the world In
siring*. I hope the Senator and Representatives
from this county will refuse to havn any hand in
such a measure and suffer it to bt a Whig measnre
from it* incnptidn to Its tmting. It is A measure
which Will yet recoil with tremendous force upon its
originators. A NATIVE.
Mr. Editor:—I inwinyttur paper of yesterday
a petition intended to be presented to our Legisla
ture, praying a Regie try Law for the City of Sa
vannah. Every citizen, no matter of what party,
nor whore born, must feel a deep interest in what-
e/er concerns our city, especially in the purity of
her rtections. Bullet us pause* moment to askif
it be known to those who ere agitating this snbject
that a similar petition to the present, was presented
to the Legislature some jeers back, and that a Re.
gistry Law wo* declared in (be Senate to be trace/:-
ilitutional!
The qualification of voters is prescribed hy the 1st
