PROSPECTUS
OF THE
GEORGIA GAZETTE,
V r.VPER TO BE PUBLISHED WEEKLY, AT ATHENS, GA.
I N issuing proposals for publishing a new paper in
tliis section of the country, reason and duty would
seem to combine, to invite from us some exposition of
tlie circumstances which have urged us to the attempt,
as well as a brief outline of the principles by which we
will be governed in our course. This task we perform
cheerfully.
The population of the State is rapidly increasing; her
system of internal improvement at. its nascent period of
existence; her jurisdictional limits actually and prospec
tively extending; her chartered rights and Indian rela
tionships assuming new and deeply interesting aspects;
and her financial resources presenting to her sons the ap-
paling alternative of oppression in future by burthen-
some taxes, or bankruptcy without some salutary change
in her repiesentativc apportionment, all combine to ren
der an additional Herald of intelligence to the present
number altogether proper.
But these by no means constitute the whole catalogue
of inducements. Ours is palpably a government, in ex
periment. The principles and terms upon which it was
based were professedly novel, and by consequence it
would be fair to assert that they were not altogether un
derstood. The progress of events has demonstrated
this truth. The constitutionality of a national Bank; a
system of internal improvement by Congress; the pow
er to tax foreign imports for the protect ion of domestic
industry; in short the whole fabric of implication re
mains yet to undergo its final and legitimate analysis.
They are topics which must agitate, and tliat deeply,
every patriotic bosom in the confederacy. To maintain
tlie honor and rights of the State under her constitution
al reservation; to remonstrate with prompitude and firm
ness of purpose against all infractionsof the compact, & to
preserve the Union by enlightened discussion or rational
compromise, according to the plan of Jefferson and Jack-
son, shall be our constant aim. Our columns shall also
contain as far as practicable important items of intelli
gence in the departments of morals, literature, and sci
ence. In our Slate politics it would be impossible under
our present impressions to adopt the principles of the
Troup party in most of its measures.
CONDITIONS.
The Georgia Gazette will be issued about the first
of July next, on a large super-royal sheet, with type en
tirely new, and we hope splendid, at $3 00 per annum,
payable within six months after the receipt of the first
number, or $4 00 if not paid within the year.
Advertisements will be inserted at the usual rates.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.
Why do ye tear
Yon lingering tenant from his humble home ?
His children cling about him, and his wife
Regardless of the wintry blast dotli stand
Watching his last, far footsteps, with the gaze
Of speechless misery. AN’hat hath he done ?•«—
In passion’s madness did he raise tlie steel
Against his neighbor’s breast—or in the stealth
Of deep, deliberate malice, touch his roof
With widely desolating flame?—No—No.
His crime is poverty.—He hath no hoard
Of hidden wealth from whence to satisfy
His creditor’s demand. Sickness perchance
Did stay his arm—or adverse skies deny
The promis’d harvest—or the thousand ills
That throng the hard lot of the sons of toil,
Drink up his spirits.—Ye indeed may hold
His form incarcerate—but will this repair
The tresspass on your purse ?—To take away
The means of labor, yet require its fruits
In strict amount, methinks doth savour more
Of ancient Egypt’s policy than Christ’s.
Themis, perchance, may sanction what the code
Of Him who came to teach the law of love,
Condemns.—‘71«c reddest thou ?”
There are, who deem
The smallest jmrtion of their drossy gold
Full counter;toh>e lbr liberty and health—
And God’s free air, and home’s sweet charities.
’Mid the gay circle round their evening fire
They sit in luxury.—The warbled song—
The guest—the wine-cup—speed the flying hours,
Forgetful how the captive’s head doth droop
AYiiiiin his close harr’d cell, or how die storm
Doth hoarsely round his distant dwelling s\\< e'\
Where she who in their lowly bed hath wrapp’d
Her famish’d babes, kneels shivering by their side,
And weeping mingles with her lonely prayer.

Making an aggregate diminution of its means to
meet its momentary demands, since 1st of Septem-
tember, of $8,2-13 043 94, whilst during the same
period those demands have increased $4,197,871
51, viz: the circulation, dejmsites, and foreign debt,
tlie aggregate of which was, on tlie 1st September,
$38,452,758 67, and on tne 1st April, $32,650,630
18. Tlie measures and the effect appear to be sim
ilar to those preceding 1819.—The extensive dis
counting of domestic hills and drafts payable at
distant branches, the amount being, on tlie 1st of
April, per monthly statement, $20,354,748 79; the
orders lor curtailing at all the western branches,
and the curtailing at the principal offices in the At
lantic cities, and at the Bank of the United States,
the amount of which, at the Bank of the United
States, between the 5th day of January and 29th
day of March, is 1,810,408 37: at the office of New
York, between the 4th day of January and the 28th
doy of March, is $259,305 43; at the office of Bos
ton, batween the 5th day of January and the 29th
day of March, is $167,860 85; (and that, too, on a
discount line of two and a half milllions ol dollars;)
at the office of Baltimore, between the 16th of Jan
uary and on the 2d day of April, $123,741 63, and
on a discount line of little more than two millions
of dollars, as will be seen hv the weekly statement of
those offices and the Bank of the Uuitcd States,
marked No. 36.
The most remarkable feature which presents it
self to the view of the committee, connected with
the present situation of the bank, and the course
of operations upon it. since the first of September
last, is the increase in the circulation of its notes,
which amounted on the first of September, to
$22,399,447 52, and on the 1st April to $23,717,-
441 14, making the increase of $1,317,993 62.—
During this period, the hank undertook to chuck
the exportation of specie by supplying bills at such
a rate as left no inducement for individuals to ship
it; to do which, they exhausted all the funds which
they could procure from every source. Over 5,-
000,000 dollars were remitted, as per statement
nutrked No. 16, and still left them with a debt ol
more than 1,700,000 dollars in Europe at this pe
riod. The cause which led to that necessity yet
exists, with an increase to the extent of the increase
of circulation, and but for a decline in the price of
specie in Europe, it would still continue to be ex
ported.
The committee would present another striking
analogy between the situation of the bank in Aprih
1819, and its present condition. At the first men
tioned period, Mr. Cheves informed the Secreta
ry ofthe Treasury that the Bank could not pay the
Louisiana debt of three millions, without negotia
ting a loan in Europe, and two millions were ac
tually borrowed in Europe, the indulgence of the
government being obtained to that effect: The
bank at this time is precisely in the same situatiP 11 *’
it has asked the government to postpone tlie re
demption of the three per cents from the 1st of
July to the 1st of October, and has assumed the
payment of one quarter’s interesl on these slock*,
being substantially equivalent to borrowing seven
millions of the government’s money for three
months.
The supplying of exchange by the bank, os has
been done for the last five mpnths, and the curtail
ing ofdiscounts, are but mere palliatives, as the
committee fully believe; and they are pursuaded
that no measure can be invented to restore a sound
currency, & a regular state of things generally,
and give a solid aud permanent value to property,
but the withdrawal of a large portion of notes now
in circulation, by the bank, which will compel other
banks to do tlie same.
The committee will here introduce a quotation
from Mr. Rush, in his Treasury Report in 1823,
which fully accords with their sentiments. “It is
the preservation of a good currency, which can a-
lone impart stability to property, and prevent those
fluctuations in its value, hurtful alike to individual
and national wealth.” Again, he says, “This ad
vantage the Bank has secured to tiie community,
by confining within prudent limits its issues of
paper, whereby a restraint has been imposed upon
excessive importations, which aie thus kept more
within the true wants and capacities ofthe coun
try.” According to the triennial report of the di
rectors to the stockholders on the 1st of August, of
1828, the amount of circulation then was $13,-
045,760 71 ; and on the 1st of April last, as before
stated, it was $23,717,441,14, presenting the aston
ishing difference of 10,671,680,43, in less than four
years. Can this he considered according to the
sound doctrine of Mr. Rush, confining its issues of
paper within prudent limits, whereby a restraint
lias been imjaised upon excessive importations?
That great contractions are injurious, the com
mittee consider they have adduced an authority
that cannot be well doubted, and that a great one.
is now in operation, there are too many general
evidences in confirmation of the fict, to be refuted.
A particular one will suffice, which is taken from
the document called for by the Senate, and presen
ted to tliat body by the Secretary ofthe Treasury,
on the 12th of March last; in which will be found
a communication from the President of the Bank,
stating the amount of branch notes redeemed by
the bank ol the United States at Philadelphia, du
ring the month of February last snlv, to be 726,000
dollars ; and the amount redeemed, in 1831, during
the sams month, was only 368,91 Odollors.
In a letter under date ofthe 26th March last* to
the Chairman of the Committee, the President of
the Bank says, “that the amount of branch notes
redeemed at the New-York office during the year
1831, was 13,219,635 dollars, and at Philadelphia,
5,398 800 dollars, making total of 18,619,435 dol
lars, with an increase of circulation between the 2d
of February, 1S31, and the. 2d January, 1882. of
more than six millions of dollars, as per monthly
statements, and decrease of its means, between the
2d ofFebruary, 1831, and IstofApil, 1832, to meet
immediate demands of more than twelve millions of
dollars, viz:
In specie j ftinded debt, and notes of other banks
which, at first named date,amounted, as per month
ly statements, to $21,756,668 TO
" And the last to 9,540,000 00
$12,116,66810
Mai ving, as just stated, a diminution in the active
means immediately applicable to the extinguish
ment. ofits debts, of considerably more than half of
its former capacity to effect the same object.
Such an increase of issues, and the influence of a
most powerful reaction now operating upon the,
fiscal eneigies ofthe country, as is exhibited by the
difference ofthe redemption of branch notes at pe
riods and places above mentioned, together with
such a reduction of means to meet its engagements,
must, we fear, compel them still further to curtail
their accommodations.
It is evident from the circulars addressed to the
branches, and correspondence with them since Oct
ober last, that tlie chief object ofthe Bank has been
to sustain itself—the statements accompanyingthis
report, clearly proving that the Bank has not in
creased its facilities to the trading community, in
anv part of the Union.
The Bank of the United Statcsamongother con
ditions of its charter, is bound to make collections
of the public revenue, to transfer the same, or any
part thereof, from one point to another, that may
be required; and to make any ami all payments fur
the account of the government, whether for princi
pal, interest, civil list, army, navy, pensions, or for
any other purpose whatever, free of all and any
charges for such services.
For performingthis duty, the Bank has claimed,
and has received from the Treasury department,
and the country generally, for some years past,
merit to an extent that could not have been surpas
sed, even if all those services it performs were gra
tuitous. This and other circumstances have led
the committee to an investigation ofthe subject, as
far as the limited time would allow, before closing
tlieir labors, to see how far the Bank is entitled to
the credit bestowed upon it, and to what extent
the Bank has aided the government in its fiscal
operation, beyond the obligation imposed in obedi
ence to its character.
The Government, in its collections through the
Bank of the United States receives nothing but
specie, or notes ofthe Bank of the United States,
and makes its payments in nothing else. If the
notes of State Banks are received by the Bank in
place of their own, it is a private matter between
such Banks and the Bank ofthe United States, and
one with which the government does rot concern
itself; and it is to he pursumed that the Bank ofthe
United States is too watchful and vigilant, in the
protection ofits own interest, not to see that it ob
tains from the State Banks, for notes, thus taken,
specie or its equivalent, or its own notes, in ex
change, and thereby be provided with a fund from
the collection of the revenue; equal in value, to
that in which they are required to pay.
The largest portion of the revenue, particular
ly from imports, as is universally known, is collec
ted in the Atlantic cities north of the Potomac.—
Those cities being the great marts of supply U>
nearly the whole ofthe United States, and places
to which remittances centre from almost every
part of the country, creates a demand for funds
upon them, from nearly every quarter, constantly,
and generally at a premium. Therefore, so far as
the hank is called upon to transfer funds from those
cities toother places, it becomes a matter of profit,
and not of expense to it, and the grater the dis
tance, the grater the premium; and the larger the
amount thus required to he transferred by the gov
ernment, and the grater the distance, the greater
the profit and advantage to the bank.
That the bank has aided the Government thus
far, the committee are unable to discover, or that
they are under any obligations to the hank for
those services, they are also at a loss to imagine.
How far the bank lias aided the Government in its
fiscal operations, as it claims to have done, will
be seen by a communication from the President
of the batik to this committee, hereafter adverted
to in another part of this report; and also in a re
port of the stockholders, at the trennial meeting
on the 1st of September, 1830, in the following
words: “That the hank, through the whole
course of its operations, has effectually assisted
the Treasury in the collection and distribution
of the public revenue, and that, of late years, it has
been signally efficient in preventing the discharge
of the public debt from disturbing the operations of
commerce, or the value, of pecuniary invest
ments.
