n.eiit, of removing to a country, far better suited
to their habits and pursuits.—
Of,one tiling at least, we feel confident $. that
however restless the Indians might he; whatever
steps there counsellors might devise-—whatever
interest, Wilde, Webster, Fielmghuysen Ilenry
Clay and the Supreme Court might take in the
matter, the officers appointed by the state, and
charged with the execution of her laws, would
under no circumstances be instrumental in con
tinuing old difficulties or raising irp new ones ;
but ni this we have been sadly disappointed bv
recent intelligence from that country*
A hill of injunction drawn up at the instance
of Walter Adair and John T. Adair, charging
that they are natives of the Cherokee nation of
Indians, and asserting the Cherokees to be an
independent nation, has been sanctioned and
served upon Win. G. Springer Esq. the states
agent, for the purpose of restraining him from
executing an important act of the last'legisla
ture, whereby many good citizens who are en
titled to grants for their lauds, will be kept out
of possession, and excluded from all the benefits
intended by the act m question.
lltu the evil will not stop here. If the states’
agent is to be arrested in the discharge of fiis
duties, because the Cherokees are a sovereign
.nation, every individual who has drawn or pur
chased laud in that territory, may expect a sim
ilar process against himself in behalf of some
sovereign chUrvkee who may please to set tip his
c aim.
It is time for the people so look to their interests
—to vindicate their rights, and stand by, and
support those, who are willing to execute the
laws.
‘idle Judge may grant injunctions—lie may
make decrees, —lie may semi out attachments
for contempts.—he may imprison our citizens—
if he can ; but there is a spirit among the white
itien of Georgia, that will look down Judge
Hooper and his Indian injunction : The Execu
tive will do his duty, and the people will sustain
him. He will maintain their rights with firm

him with strength and spirit,
REMOVAL .OF THE DEPOSITS.
Tins subject is the all absorbing topic of the
day, and if it dues not teach people the necessi
ty of having at the head of affairs a man who
has seme knowledge of the principles of politi
cal economy, they will deserve all the suffering
which will have been inflicted by the conduct
of the President, (t is established beyond all
dispute, that the pecuniary distress which com
menced in October, and which is every day
more and more extending itself to- the working
classes from the loss of employment,, has not
yet reached its height, nod indeed no one can
tell to what degree of intensity it may yet he
carried. There arc elements yet to he brought
into play for increasing its force, to which the
public attention has not yet been drawn, and
as these may.be powerful in their effect, we will
briefly allude to them.
It was once remarked by Mr. Gorham, of
Boston, in the House of Representatives, that
“ the barometer of the currency of the United
States was hanging up in the Stock Exchange
of London.” This was true, and it is equally
true, that the barometer of the currency -cf
■Great Britain is this day hanging up in the Re
presentative Chamber at Washington. The
commercial ami pecuniary transactions of Great
Britain and the United States, are so intimately’
blended together, their systems of paper credits
are so closely connected, that it ts impossible
that one country can experience an extensive
change iti its money concerns, without its being
seriously felt by the other. This arises from
ilie well known sympathy which exists between
the paper currencies of two different countries,
•by winch, when one expands the other expands,
when one contracts, the other contracts. Os
this sympathy, we have abundant evidence be
fore our eyes in the operations of the currencies
of our different cities. When the banks of
Boston, or of Mow York, or of Philadelphia, or
of Baltimotc expand, an opening is afforded
for thosead the other cities also to expand, and
when all unite in an expansion, a facility is
thereby afforded for all the other banks in the
country to follow the example, which they nev
er fad to do. If the United States were sur
rounded by a wail, so that no gold or silver
could go out, the extent to which a general ex
pansion might be carried, under certain states
oontklence, would be almost without limits.
But as it is, the expansibility is limited by the
liability of the precious metals to be exported,
which causes the notes to return upon the banks
for payment. Still, however, it may be seen,
that this liability is dependant upon the degree
of expansion which prevails at the tune in Eng
land, anti'this fact proves the existence of the
sympathy we have referred to.
This matter will be very plain to the reader,
if ho will attend to the cause which gives rise to
the power of expansion.. That pause is public
confidence in the ability of those who issue pro
mises to pay , to redeem their pledge. If it was
not that a man to whom a bank note was offer
ed instead of coin, believed that the note would
be paid on presentation at the bank, and that
every body else to whom “he might wish to pass
it, believed so too, he would not veceive it in
payment, and bank notes therefore could not
circulate at their nominal value. It is said that
-when -the Bank of North America was first es
tablished hi this city, during the revolutionary
war, it was found so difficult for those who
wished to introduce its notes into circulation, to
get the country people to take them, that they
were obliged to go with them to the bank with
their checks, in order to show them the coin
spread out upon the counter. Now any one
can see, that just m proportion as people can be
made to ivdieve that paper is as good as coin,
just in that degree does there exist the power of
bank expansion. And on the other hand, it is
just as easily seen that as this belief is with
drawn, just in that proportion must there be a
scarcity of currency, owing to the return of the
notes for payment.
As every expansion of currency is necessarily
accompanied by a rise in the prices of every
species of property, so is every contraction of
it accompanied by a decline of prices. This
effect wc have seen on this side of the water, in
reference to cotton, ricq, tobacco, flour, grain,
provisions, and other articles of agricultural
produce, real estate, stocks arid every other
species of property. Time has not yet been
afforded for a developement on the other side of
the water. The currency of the United States
having been rendered belter than the currency
of England, as is proved by the rate of exchange
being seven per cent, below real par, a demand
will lx* made upon the currency of England for
coin for exportation, which will occasion a ne
cessity for the contraction of her paper curren
cy, This contraction will necessarily occasion
a fall in the prices of American productions m
her market which will react upon our own, find
bring down our prices lower than they are, and
although the prices of her own productions,
manufactures,-&c. will also he reduced, yet they
will not he brought to this country, because that
fall has already been preceded by one jti the U.
States, which would render their importation a
losing business.
When we view the question in all its bear
ings, we are quite sure that a wound has been
inflicted upon the prosperity of the country,
which will entail upon it years of suffering, and
which has only been equalled by the wound in
flicted upon the liberties of the country by the
same hand, through the Proclamation of the
lOth of December, 1832. The United States,
ever since the formation of the government,
have profited immensely hy the credit they have
enjoyed abroad, a credit having its foundation
in the confidence entertained in Europe in the
permanency of our institutions. That that con
fidence will be shaken to its very foundation, is
too universally believed, to require arguments
lo support it, and we greatly fear that nothing
can be done by Congress that can reinstate mat
ters in the position in which they were found at
first of October last, whilst we are perfectly sat
isfied, that every moment’s delay adds to the
misery which the actun! posture of affairs is dai
ly accumulating, and which, before it termi
nates, must be felt from Maine to Louisiana.
Phil. Examiner.
from tho Southern Recorder.
The question, in regard to the propriety of
restoring and continuing the public deposites in
the U. States Bank, seems to divide those, who.
on most other matters, think and act together.
Our own delegation, it is said, will be divide 1
on this question, the majority oftheState Rights
members voting for their restoration.
We most sincerely regret, that the usurpa
tions of the admimstiation, and the restoration
of the deposites, cannot by our friends be discon
nected. They are as perfectly distinct, as the
Ist and 2d propositions of Euclid are fromtac.
other. Principle is the basis of the one, expe
diency, without regard to principle, the other.
The Executive lins usurped the power of Con
gress, and has attempted to possess himself of the
Treasury of the country, and this too, in obvious
contradiction to the will of those to whom is
alone coufided the money of the people. For
this he should be condemned, emphatically—
and such measures adopted by Congress, as to
put to rest for ever, all contest as to the future
controle of the public treasury. This the safety
of the country demands, and this the friends of
the country will not neglect.
But another point arises. In putting our
veto upon one evil, shall we in the same act,
no urisli and foster another 1 Why should we do
soj The U. S. Bank, is considered by the State
Rights party, not only unconstitutional, but i?
most dangerous institution in this country, from
its practical effects. Why should we, to reme
dy one evil, which maybe remedied in another
way, encourage evils equal in enormity, and
quite as dangerous in its consequences? We
confess ourselves unequal to answer tho query.
And here our attention is called, (to what in-
deed we had in our eye, when we commenced
tins article,) the public meeting had upon this
subject, in Augusta, on the 15th inst., and our
remarks will be confined to only one resolution
of that body.
The Resolution offered, was the following:
“ Resolved , 2d. That in the opinion of this
meeting the friendly relations between the Go
vernment and the Bank of the United States,
should he restored, and the publtc funds here
after deposited in that institution : a step requir
ed by the public faith, pledged to that Bank in
its charter, and demanded by public interest.”
This resolution, we are informed, was oppos
ed by A. FI. Pemberton, Esq.—his remarks we
have not seen, but may, perhaps, without ego
tism, suppose them to have been based on the
natural train of reflection, in which we have our
selves engaged. To this, Judge Longstreet res
ponded, by offering for the first, which we be
lieve in all conscience, to have been rapid
enough in its conclusion, an exhihrated substi
tute, recommending an immediate restoration of
the deposites to the Bank of the- United States,
as a matter of duty on the part of Congress, im
posed by the terms of the Bank charter.
Were there no other reason, than consistency
alone, we should, as advocates of a common
cause, with these gentlemen, be found shoulder
to shoulder, with the Editor of the Chronicle,
on the point at issue. Putting aside all the mis
chiefs of the Bank, let us notice the only reason
assigned by the Judge for a restoration of the
deposites. “Itis a matter of duty, on the part
of Congress, imposed by the terms of the Bank
Charter.” But does not our friend remember,
that the State Rigls party consider the Charier
unconstitutional! If unconstitutional , by the
Judge’s own creed, null and void, and creating
no obligation on the government or the people
to execute it. Our friend will be at no loss to
remember, tlmt this same cry of government
guarantee has been sounded in every manufac
turing district in the United States ; that the in
vestment of capital has been bassed, as they say,
upon the public faith : but to all this, the South
and the whole State Rights party have ever re
plied* “ the very fact that you have been protec
ted unconstitutionally, should have taught you,
that the whole moral patriotism of the country,
will cry aloud “and spare not,” until IhatCon
strtution is again restored, by your being con
stitutionally left wrt-protected.” If then the
Bank Charter ts unconstitutional, the whole rea
son for the restoration of the deposites, urged
by our friend, is at once, we eonceice, dissolved;
for be, we know, will not contend for the obli
gation of Unconstitutional enactments.’

fUWPORTAtIOiNS OF SPECIE.
The Globe and its affiliated presses are re
joicing irt the importation of specie, and sup
pose that it indicates the approach of relief to
the commercial anjl banking interests. This
shows lmw ignorant they arc of the a—b—c of
finance. Such is the identity between the mo
netary system of England and this country, that
whatever endangers the currency of one, de
ranges that of the other. The currency of
England, as well as that of the United States,
is paper, restiug on a metallic basis. Whenev
er the one or the other imports specie, it is a
proof that the condition of the currency is such
as lo require more specie to sustain it. Spe
cie being the basis of the paper currency of both
countries, whenever either loses confidence m
the ability of their banks to redeem their notes
in specie, the consequent panic creates the ne
cessity of providing a larger amount of specie to
represent the payer in circulation, and the ex
portation of specie necessarily diminishes the
amount of paper m circulation.
Thus if we diminish the amount of specie in
England, by importing specie instead of mer
chandize from England, we diminish the cur
rency of England, to the extent of the contrac
tion of her currency, consequent upon her loss
of specie—and as we depend upon the curren
cy of England for the purchase of our surplus
produce, it follows that any state or things
which compels our merchants to import specie
from England, diminishes the prices of our
produce in England, by creating a contraction
iof our currency. Hence it follows that, as
England is the great mart for our staples, the
importation of specie from that country to this,
is an evidence of a ruinous condition of our
trade with Unit country.
But tlnsis not all—such a state of tlii; re
acts upon both countries—diminishes prices
here, reducing prices in England, and diminish
:shed prices in England reducing the prices in
this country. Thus a constant series of re-ac
tions, spreading ruin and desolation in both
countries, over all the interests connected with
the commerce between therm
Correspondence of the Boston Atlas.
W ashingtoe, Jan. 27th.
The new Senator from South Carolina, Ims
exceeded I believe, the expectations of almost
all. His personal appearance, as well as the
few remarks which he has heretofore made
were indeed much in favor; but they by no
means fully indicated the power which he has
now shown himself to possess. llis red hair,
with a slight touch of the orange, is so set upon
his hem! that it might be mistaken for a scratch,
which from two or three pulls that he appeared
to give it, might have been supposen to he a lit
tle disordered: but there could not be a doubt
that it was his own genuine hair. Ilis head is
well formed, though without anything unusual,
His forehead is square, and prominent at the
corners, hot about the ordinary magnitude.
FI is eyes are small, inclining to dark, and in
dicative of considerable passion, which was so
manifest in his performance. FI is nose is ■of
the Greecian cast, and the lower pan of his face,
though a little more than proportionally long, j
is still highly expressive of taste, feeling and!
refinement. His cheek hones, of the aboriginal
so'nip. though not large, project much more
than usual. His features would, on the whole,
be called regular, though there are many ap
proaches towards irregulnrity. Ilis shoulders
are large and broad, as well as the upper part of
h : s chest, which then tapers off jnto one of the
finest forms m the country. lam thus minute,
because his personal appearance has not a lit
tle to do with the effect of his eloquence.
When he began, he had only an ordinary
audience; but rutnot, so busy elsewhere, very
soon mustered the whole available fund of
hearers that were to be found in the capitol; and
<t w'Hild seem it must have gone to the city, for
the hall was in a very short tune full. Mr.
Preston was apparently somewhat embarrassed,
either by anxiety or effort of thought ; his fore
head continued a good deal wrinkled, and tliere
was now and then a sudden motion, which evi
dently arose from something else than the nat
ural current of his thoughts on the subject. Yet
he performed liis part well; and the excite
ment in the audience could be suppressed only
by an order to clear the galleries, which was
however revoked. On the second day, the hall
was at once crowded and more than full; the
forehead of the speaker was cleared up, every
improper or irrelevant motion or gesture was
absent, and ye were presented with the most
perfect specimen of parlinmentrry eloquence
that I have ever witnessed. My own sensations
often extended to the very ends of my fingers,
and the whole audience exhibited the unequiv
ocal indications, not of a deep and fixed, but of
a living and moving attention.
Mr. Preston, by his first attempt, has planted
his foot on the floor of the Senate, till, he re
signs or dies, or steps to a higher station. He
has done far more than this; he has placed
himself side by side with*the three first men in
Congrass, whom he will be able to compete
with on some, and on others to excel. The
four can hadly be compared with each other;
one is possessed of that tremendous power of
intellect, that wherever it can move the minds’
of others, it fastens them forever, andachieves
ts conquests, without the danger of losing them ;
auother makes such a skilful or masterly use of
logical power, produdEs so disastrous a break
ing up of preconceived opinions, as almost to
make sceptics of those he convinces ; the ingen
ious and adventurous spirit of a third, leads the
way into untried and unknown regions of tho’t,
and nemo me impune laccssit, is written on las
practice, though not bn his person or mariners;
the fourth will wear the laurels of pure, classic,
and animating eloquence.
It thus appears that South Carolina has a
moiety of the highest parliamentary talent in tlie
country ; not a State can compete with her ex
cept Massachusetts, and even she must yield
the hays on the point of parliamentary elo
quence. If the doctrines of South Carolina are
not to succeed, it will not be for the want of com
petent advocates.
Mr. Preston’s success, however, cannot be
ascribed to his style and manner alone. He
presented a threadbare subject in an aspect new
and interesting. He took hold of tiro bank,
which Colonel Benton bad got down and
trampled in the mud, and hy a happy, and
doubtless a well-founded prediction, lie sum
moned to the rescue of the injured victim, the
whole South in a mass, though heretofore hos
tile, to lay hold of it, foul and weltering and
bloody as it might be, and raise it to a high ren
ovated and vigorous existence.

You are hereby invited to meet at the Cot*rt

P. M. on Saturday the 22d day of February
next —the anniversary of Washington’s birth

We have arrived at the crisis in the affairs of
our country which calls for primary assembla

We have said that it is too soon to agitate the
Presidential question. We believe so still, but
the office-holders have broken the ground.—
The remarkable concert in which they have
moved leaves no doubt of the existence of a
combination forthe purpose of continuing them
selves in office, how obnoxious soever they may
he to the public. Ft now remains for the PEO
PLE to organize themselves in defence of their
rights arid principles.
The interference of government office-hold
ers in the politics and elections of the country
has not only been deprecated in the strongest
terms by our present Chief Magistrate, hut the
lenerated Jefferson has distinctly inculcated the
opinion, that, if unrestrained, its tendency would
be an absorption of the political power of the
people in t&e patronage of the General Govern
ment; the immediate consequence of which
would be consolidation ; and the inevitable is
sue of consolidation would be monarchy.
Are you ready for consequences like these?—
Our only safety is to preserve entire and unim

A BULL ‘CHASE.
Yesterday afternoon between 5 and 6 o’cjck,
the sober inhabitants of Chesnul street were star
tled with a general outcry of “ clear the road”
—“ there he cpmes,” and on looking, shure
enough he did come. A bull or an ox, about
three years old, had taken upon himself the re
sponsibility of promenading Chesnut street with
out an attendant, and lie made clear work of it
as far as he went. Near Fifth street the cloak
of a gentleman, blowing out into the wind, at
tracted the attention of the animal, and he flew
at it with.a single grace. The owner slipped
the fastening, and left the garment. After a
single toss of the affair the bull pursued his way
downward, but was soon attracted by the come
ly appearance of a black man breaking coal.—
The beast rushed upon the heap, making a glo
rious clattering with lus hoofs. The regular
coal breaker, not relishing a partnership in his
business, dropped his hammer and withdrew
from the concern. By this time, the shoutings
of the citizens had infused anew fire into the
veins of the bull, and he’ took up his line of
march at a rapid rate. Hurrah, shouted the boys
—“there he comes,” said a wotri&ji—and on
went the bull, bellowing like a rearing liti.n, pee
ling it down the street like a streak of lightning,
his tail cocked right into the air like a flag staff,
and bis head flying about like n politician’s
looking for the strongest side. Arrived at the
brow ofthe hill at Front street, his coming was
discovered by the unroerous persons on board
th-e steam boat at Chesnut street wharf.
“ What’s that?” shouted one.
“ Ft’s the veto,” replied auother,
“ Stop him!” they all shouted; and they for
med a bold front, to keep such on invasion from
the deck of the steamboat.
Meantime the animal came down the hill with
a marvellous velocity—wheelbarrows and hand
barrows were scattered like dust from his path
—nothing obstructed hiscourse—away lie went
at full speed, over ropes and hawsers, stretched
along to’fasten the steamboat—high above every
let and hindrance, he cleared the whole at a
single leap, and struck the Delaware, sixteen
feet from tile wharf. Landsmen and watermen,
fishermen and butchers, then betook themselves
to the boats to catch the handsome beast, —Jove
himself never took ajpore beautiful form,—but
all exertions were fruitless. On he went, mas
ter alike of his own pathway, in the water as on
the land. He directed his course for Smith’s
island, and landed safe, where at the last report
he was setting up his rest —

THE DEPOSITE QUESTION
Has been put to rest in the Flouse, at least for
a time, by a reference ofthe letter ofthe Secre
tary ofthe Treasury, containing his reasons for
the removal, &c. to the Committee of Wavs
and Means. The Previous Qm stion—which
was the adoption of Mr. Polk’s motion of Dec.
17th, to the above effect ( excluding the amend
ment of Mr. McDuffie, instructing the Commit
tee to report a joint Resolution providing that
the revenue hereafter collected shall be depos
ited in the U. S. Bank ; and also the one of Mr.
Jones instructing to inquire into the expediency
of depositing said revenue in the State Banks,
&c.) —was called for, and sustained, by a ma
jority of 4—Messrs. Coffee, Schley, and Wayne,
voting in the affirmative, and Messrs. Clayton,
Foster, Gamble, Gilmer, Jones, and Wilde, in
the negative. The question was then put, on
the adoption of Mr. Polk’s motion, and decided
in the affirmative, by a majority of 34—Messrs.
Coffee, Gilmer, Jones, Schley, and Wayne, vo
ting yea , and Messrs. Clayton, Foster, Gamble,
and Wilde, nay. —It is thought that the report
ofthe Committee will be in favor of the removal.
We are mistaken about the question being
put to rest in the House, for the present; for,
on tho next day, the resolution, submitted by
Mr. Mardis, of Aiuboma on the 14th Jan. was
called up and modified by him,so as to make it
read as follows; and he addressed the Ilcuse in
support of it, until the expiration of the hour as
signed to the consideration of Resolutions:
“ Resolved , That the Committee of Ways and
Means be instructed to inquire into die expedi
ency of reporting a bill requiring the Secretary
ofthe Treasury to deposite the public moneys
of the United States in the State Banks; and
also, as to the expediency of defining by law,
