So far, thou, n* pioftt am to bo derived from tbu natural products, whether of cotton, rice, tobacco or gold, a* a predinm ol exchanges, foreign or do mestic, it is, by the policy of this luw, held to ho just nnd fair that tbosu profits should fall into tbn hands of dm Inborers, nuuchunts, or municnl institu ti.ns of dint people whom soil nnd climate-, work and lubir, rnru and diligence, produce those com m nii its. This is the principle of tlm existing Inw, und yet gontlcmen sny thi. is protection. Ye*, sir, it \spiotection—protection to free trade nnd equal right*, that is all; und fur that only yiur Government wot formed. ArolUer item of expense, sir, 1 would hero men lion, by no moans the least, which would bo visited on tlsjse hardy yeomanry who dig gold, if you di* pcn*.i with your brunch minis. It is the exchange of pire gold for bank bills which wear out, or burn np, ur prove wordilcs* by bank suspensions or bank breakages. A great safeguard nnd facility to the inhabitant* where gold i» produced, arising font its coinage in their vicinity, is an easy, cheap, and cor lain and safe currency for domestic use. And now, as tho location of your coinngo brings nilvantuges nnd facilities to tlusu amongst whom it take* place.

By establishing your branch mint*, you havo dourmiued, (recording to equity nnd justice, to distribute a portion uf these benefits to the gold diggers;nnd now tlm preposition is torn assume tlmliulo you have yielded, nnd that before you have fairly tested your policy of giving up. And why ? It is answered: 1st. For economy: 2d. For reform In executive pntroiing.*, to diminish tho chan ces ofcorruptian. I,sir, am for reform, whenever it con Im effected. JJut what will bn the nature of tho refuim in this case? As I am ahown, it will be from bnd to worse, both in principle nnd in prac tice. In principle, bccau.m it will require the pro ducer of gold, nt the price of taxation, to convert it into paper money, which w ill be loss sound and snfe because of this very act of taking ids gold to depo sit" in a bank in I'iiiludelpliiu, instead of permit ting it to circulnli) in Ids own neighborhood. Experience proves tin*, so; for prior to establishing your branch mints, tha people in that part of my State were confined to paper currency ulmost entire ly; and, notwithstanding they daily handled the pro clous metals, thoy wcrecompollod to give it for pa per, us if paper wus rcully tlm tiling of value. Since tho operation of thu mint, tho gold Is used as coin, being convertible without cost. And oven lust summer, in tho midst of suspension, that pun of Georgia was supplied with specie change. But'this reform will be from bad to wose in prac lice, too—since, to rid yourself of those bronco mints nnd their officer*, ull of whom yea havo pre turned would be corrupted, you will throw your funds on daposilc in some vast reservoir—a hank vault, for instance, (1 bclinvo tlm mover of this is for repealing the Sub-Treasury, forcrentinga Unit od States Bank, mul for restoring the deposites,) where, by the facility of expansions, ono million ntny become three, for tlm benefit of your greot city and its favorite bank—w hich, w ith its officer* uud dependant*, you nevtr suspect of corruption. This, sir, will bo tho practical reformation. I would iiavu Georgians and Gcurgin Representatives to look to it. This jiroduct of Georgia will bo ono item in this basis of issue, ond tho cotton, rice, and tobacco, another. In deficiency of these, tho Statu stocks will lie Invoked to aid them. If, sir, this argument of" economy" is to prevail let it bc{exumiucd,nnd it proves too much or loo litllo. It nroves too much, because you cun coin ull your gold and ailvcr clienpor far at Clmrloto onJ Dull loncgu, or either, than nt I'hilndeiplil i. Tln-rn fore, the principal Mint should bo abolished.

The question pending wan tlm motion nt Mr. Green to striko out ail the items of appropriation having reference to tho Brunch Mint* uf North Carolina, Georgia and New Orleans', and the cxpcuditurcs connected therewith. Mr. Habersham also opposed the amendment, nnd replied with much futce to tlm objections rai* ud by Sir. Tillingliast. Mr. Kvurotlobjected to tlm proposition to strike out, fur sa long at tlm law authorizing these mints existed, tli« House was bound to innku llie appro priation. If gentlemen objected to them, the pro per cuurao waste repunl llie Inw. Mr. Coopor of Gcurgin, snid thnt lie would ndd a few remarks to thoso made by bis colleague from Habersham county. .1 find, Mr. Chairman, (said Mr. C ) the csinh lishmoiitof these branch mints to havu been a part of your policy for several yenis. Tbo motion to strike out involves a change. To ju*ti;y thi* change, it should be shown or admitted by the friend* of the policy, that the reason* for creating them were unfounded, or that those reason* have failed to op mate Wliut wero those reasons? The gentleman front Vormont line intimated to you, a* Im did last session, that one reason was in proton the Inbniing classes in tho gold region. This 1 do not ngree to; for, with equal propriety, tho tame might be assign ed ns n reason lor establishing the principal Mint at I'htDdelphin which was established before the discovery of gold in North Carolina nnd Georgia. Again: foreign gold is nc*t taxed by tlm law to cn bunco tlm value of our gold, but comp tes fairly at tbo Mint w.tb the domestic. Therefore, the idea of protection is misapplied hero. Tho presumption is thnt iho objects ot tha law were to diffuso a mo lullic currency amongst the mass of the people,nnd to giro to those Stnto* which produce tho gold, tho full benefits of that pr uluct. fiee of the taxation in cident to an cxpnrtntioujo a foreign rnatkot. This, sir, is cnriying out the principles of free trade on terms of equality. But establishing your mint exclusively at Pbiladel phis, and what is the effect? Tho entire produce nf gold in Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, nnd 1‘ennessee, will be shipped to Philabeipld.i, ju*t i cot ton,rice or tobacco is to New York or to Eurnp before it will become available as mom y. This in volve* tlm cost of discount, commission*, insurance and freight; so that a man in Gootgi*,after possess ing himself of tlm specie metal, will not Im permit ted to count it out as money, until he shall submit tu till those items of oust. This, too, will bo by tlm operation ofyour laws. And to wliai end! Why, sir. thst yuur government agent* at Philadelphia may have the benefit of all the deposit* and coinage nf his money—a benefit which heretofore ha* been worth to your banking agencies hundred, of thou sands. The rest of a branch mint, iliereforw, nf |/I,0fl0 a year, ts* lax lor protection. ()ou s*y.) though tlm nun who buy* pay* no more for tlm coin; ami yet die tax which would be paid by dm producer of die gold, fee the benefit nf your Philadelphia agencies, by wliirli ht receives leu, i* an protection t-* your great city ami its I'micd Htaiet llstik. This, sir, it • fait specimen uf Batik logic, and t* laud on lbs your property at Philadelphia, give us tho uso o( tho proceeds, and we will do all your coinogo freo of expen-e. Again: Coinage is a (lend oxponsonny way you may mannngc,naddoe* not pay for Itself. By tlm same nrgument, you would coin notcherc; since, on n scorn of dollar* a ml cunts, you would find it cheap er to let other nations or individuals coin. Again: if you abolish these offices because they nro an expense, wliut will become of thu thuusnud und one offices, judicial, civil, financial, and military, whiph bring you in no money annually? Sir, this argument, will not do. 1 now proceed to show that, so far as tlm policy you sot out with is just and (rue, insicnd of icing disappointed, you may* expect all your reasonable hope* to be reoliz cd.^ First, then, my coll, oguo who sits on my right [Mr Holt j now suggest* to me that, by intelligence received lust night, it appears "that by very recent discoveries there nro development* making in iho •old region of Georgia never before anticipated." Tills, in pait, I witnessed last summer. And here I (end from the document of thu House, givingn report of tho operations uf tlm mint, to show tliis committee what it seems anapprized of, to wit: Fwr tlnce years during which jlw branch mints Iiavo been operating, thu two at Duhlonegu and Chur lotto havo coinod ncnrly two thirds of all the Uni tedSlalet (Sold coined iu the Union during that time—tho cuiite amount of Amoricuu gold coined being bom $420,000 t-J $150,000, of which those two brandies have coined about $230,000. And of the $170,000 American gold coined at Philadelphia la-l year, ninety odd thousand was tho product of Georgia. •Now, sir, but for llie high exchanges produced by bank suspensions, und tho operation of an order ul the Mint forbidding less sums than $100 to be coined ul tlm brandies, $80,000 of that $90,000 would have been coined nl Duhlonrgn. Add this to whnt it did coin, say $128,000, und you wuuid Iiavu had over $2UO.UUO coined at lliut brunch. A* to tlm product of gold and its prospects. In IC37, tlm your before these brandies were iu opera tlon.tlm total of United States gold wns $282,000. Since thnt time the iinnuo] average hut been near half a million. And nt Dahluncgu in particular, it it decidedly increasing. Now, »ir, 1 beg to estimate nn increase for tho next year, founded on iho presumption that tho banks will not ngain suspend, for if they do, bullion will be shipped as exchanges rise, instead of being coined nt home. Heia is tlm estimate: $125,000 present product. Thi* will be increased 25 per cent by increase of labor, new developments, and increased facilities. In round sum, $31,000. One half of vvliat wont to l'liiladelpliiu to be eoined will Im coined at home, sny $45,000, milking tho totul coinage at Dahlnnega $201,000 in the year next ensuing. Thi* is liublo to bo diminished by the general slot from tho principal Mint, and tlm limitation of tiie current depo-iie at Daidonega to bo used to forward thu operation* there. Now, sir, in the failure of any of reasons of youi policy, ur with no disappointed hope*, it remains to see who will ubrogato tho mo.uun-. Tlm partv wldcliadopted it cannot; and thole who have de clined to support it heretofore, I presume, vviUnot now do it. If it should bo done, I fur ono will iouk after tho goldprodiiced in Georgia, till it finds its stopping pl*co in tlm vaults of a United State* Bunk; and 1 will then reckon up the cost of putting und keeping it there, and cnll on smite one to tell mo echo pays the cost and trio divide* th* profits. About the sumo tinm <oo, if in life, I will watch tlm course our cotton will tako, and inquire into the result* which thereby will fall on tho planter* a* well as the reasons thnt will havo governed its course in trade.
