On the first Monday in October last,
the ciijjit Union Representatives of Geor
gia iu the congress of the United Slates,
were chosen bv the people, with a dis
tinct knowledge that they were friendly
in the election oi Mr. Van Buren to the
presidency. On that occasion the nulli-
tit-rs had eight candidates, friendly to the
election of Judge White, who were all
rejected by the people * 1 , except Mr. Daw-
sum. And this gentleman had the good
liirtune to slip in, because a vacancy in
the Union ticket was produced by the
death of the. lamented Collect, but one
week before the election, which it was
impossible to fill in that short period.—
This elect ion \v;is held one month before
the election of electors of president and
vieppresident; and no change in public
sentiment occurred during that period.
Subsequent to the election of electors
of president and vicepresident, Colonel
t’uthhert was re elected to the senate of
the United States, under a full knowledge,
that he was a friend and supporter of Mr.
Van Buren; and il Mr. King, the other
senator from Georgia, had been a candi
date at the same time, he also would have
been re-elected. Fur from being instruct
ed toS resign, these gentlemen'have all
been instructed bv their constituents, to
take, and to retain their scats, as friends
to the president elect.

of die transfer hv the stockholders ot the lu-

and gratitude for the prompt opposition with
arliicli you have met this insidious and danger
ous invasion of the chartered rights of the cili-
rens of Georgia, to express nty profound
utunishmeiit at the attitude assumed by several

twice taught me tiie hollow insincerity of those
professions, and their perfect destitution of
claims to the exclusive protection of the rights
01 their fellow citizens. Not indeed, tliut I
"uuhl insinuate, that there exist no personal
exceptions to this remark, for I sincerely be-
heve and know too, that there arc many mdi-
vtduals associated with that~party, in whose

‘""it be. Neither lias Mr. Biddfc, nor have
-litcs, become so far divested of the coin-
mon infirmities of our nature, as all this cotncs
to! i hey are men, like all othermen, who will
puisue their private instercsls and emoluments,
and that too, with the same eagerness m.u
avidity with which oilier men do. Let Mr.
( Biddle pay to the people of the United States,
j the seven millions of stock owned by them m
his Bank, and which he has so far refused to
pav them, before he sets himself up iu our midst,
as l ie world’s benefactor. Let him cease all
political connection with his Governor Rimer of
I euusylvania, who lias upbraided our govern
ment with “the base bowing of the knee to the
daik spirit of slavery”—and all correspondence
and connection with John Q lincy Adams, that
enemy of soutliern rights and champion of abo
lition, before he approaches our people with his
tender kindness for their wants. L«t hiin deliver
up to the people of Pennsylvania a charter
which was procured from a recreant legislature
by wickedness and bribery. Let him surrender
to a just and indignant people the exclusive
privileges which lie has so unjustly and fraudu-
lentv wrested from them, and which the public
voice of that community now calls for, before
lie daics to intrude himself into our very midst,
with his presents in his hand. In short, let him
answer to his country—a country off of which
lie has grown fat, and which lie has repeatedly
and egrcgiously wronged, before become among
us; and then let hint cornu to us in his naked
shape and iu the proper wav, and we will hear
him!
What, Mr. Editior, is the history of this
transaction? Let us take a calm view of litis
matter. The jieoplc of Georgia and the Uni*n
well remember the contest which terminated
the existence of the United States’ Bank as a
national institution. Long will they recollect
the convulsions, the pressures and the panic
with which that contest was attended. That
indeed was a contest between power and the
people—between the authorities of that Bank
and the authorities of the country. It sought
ilirn, as it now seeks, to bribe our people by lair
professions of extended benefits. But the intelli
gence and integrity of the country then disdained
the offer. It sought to perpetuate itself bv an
invasion of the right ofsuffrage; but the honesty
of the country repelled the attack with scorn
and indignation. It approached tlte councils of
the nation; and here it succeeded for a moment.
But thanks to the iron firmness of our venerable
chief magistrate, lie drove back the monster.—
It appealed to the people, from the decision of
tlieir president, and they answered in a voice of
thunder, “down with the monster”—“down with
the monster.” In the meantime, it produced
commercial distress, by suddenly enlarging and
as suddenly contracting its issues. It made
ready its work for its panic orators in Congress.
II endeavored to extort from the people a re
charter by the very distress it occasioned. But
the contest finally terminated, and that loo in
favor of the people. Congress in obedience to
tlieir will refused to reclmrtcr it; and it was
then supposed that the triumph was complete.—
But what next is done? Il seeks at the hands of
the legislature of Pennsylvania, to be chartered
as a Slate institution, with the privilege of ex
tending its branches into other Stales. By
bonus and bribery, it obtained its request.—
Tlte representatives of the people, yielding to
unholy suggestions, thereby did violence to '.lie
wiil of the people of that Stale. Having in this
way obtained looting, it attempts to do that
indirectly, which directly the country refused.
It seeks to carry on the suine operations under a
State charter, which it had done under a national
one. It presents itself at the bar of tiie legisla
ture of Virginia and Louisiana and South Caro
lina, asking to establish its brandies in coil-
summation of its object, but is met by a prompt
refusal. But as for Georgia, it did not do us
the poor honor to ask us, or our legislature for
tills privilege. It comes in among us, and taking
advantage of our laws, becomes tiie purchaser
oftiie Insurance Bank of Columbus. Virtually
it says-to our people, “1 know your opposition
to me: 1 know if I bad made application to your
legislature for this privilege, it would not have
been granted; but I can take advantage of your
charters and exist within your limits in spite of
you, and will do so.”
Now, sir, who is it that will rise tip to defend
this institution? What Georgian that is willing
to submit to its defiance? Who that would claim
to be a friend of state rights, will tamely and
submissively brook this invasion? We shall see
— but for one sir, I am fully decided to oppose
this insidious piocecdure by every means within
my reach; and as between the Sta'c on the one
part and Nicholas Biddle with his bank, 1 am
fully out for tlte State: and as between the ex
ercise of exclusive privileges by our own citi
zens, and foreigners, and citizens of other States,
! am as fully determined in favor of our own
people.- Sir, I confess that I cannot appreciate
tin 1 genuineness of that sort of state rights, which
comes to a different conclusion; nor can I un
de; s and the patriot ism of that nullification which
is rampant fora battle with tlte president of the
Union, invested as he is with the executive
authority of the people, while it yields a tame
submission to all assumptions and usurpations of
the president of a bank, w ith a quill behind his
oar. More anon. NO STOCKHOLDER.
TO THIi I»L’S:iv3C.
In my former publication, it will Be re
collected by the reader, that I charged
Dr. Fort, and Governor Schley, with an
unholy aitempt to injure my character,
by tlieir oHicial conduct, and especially
by using one R. A. Greene, as a tit pan
der and tool on the occasion, privately to
insinuate, and circulate slanderous re
ports in regard to the mistake with the
Columbus hank. It will he recollected,
that 1 then used the name of Greene with
contempt, as unworthy of notice, except in
the connexion in which 1 placed him—a
sycophant aud tool ibr others. Who can
longer doubt the correctness of my opin
ion in regard to the trilling puppy, after
seeing his publication of the 2i»tii Decem
ber? If Dr. Fort thinks to skulk out of
the dilliculty in which his ambition l*as
placed him, by pulling forward R. A.
Greene, lie is very much mistaken—1
am not in the habit of noticing such fel
lows, except with the cow-shin or rat-tan;
and one thing is certain, the piece alluded
lo over the signature of IL A. Greene,
would never have appeared, if I had re
mained in Milledgevdie. But perchance
the impudent fellow may yet have the
misfortune to see me again in Millcdge-
ril/c, where accounts can quickly be bal
anced so far as lie is concerned.
There arc two points only in the publi
cation signed hv R. A. Greene that I deem
it at all important to notice, and for
which I hold Dr. Fort alone responsible.
The one is in regard to the twenty-two
thousand five hundred dollars, hills ofox-
changc lax ing over; and the other is the
Hargrove case. Dees not t he doctor’s cheek
Hush with shame at the bare mention of this
tiling? \\ ho would have thought such
barefaced falsehoods would have been
promulgated, when so easy of detection?
What! 1 charged with obtaining twenty-
two thousand and five hundred dollars ol
the Central Bank in the “celebrated ne
gro speculation!” Shame on such a false
hood!! I purchased the negroes alluded
to in Charleston, on the lllhday ol March
lS3(j, and paid every dollar in cash at the
time. The bills of exchange mentioned
were discounted, 1 think, on the 1th ol
, May 1S3G. But this is not all. The doc
tor well knew, that I was only an endor-
. scr on these bills, and that a very small
i proportion of them we re lor my accom-
j modation. Again, the doctor well knew,
that provision had been made by the
principals to have this whole amount paid
on maturity, and that it was bv consent of
the bank that the matter lay over. In
one word, the doctor knows that I am not
in the least to blame for the bills Iving
over.
But. the most astounding of tiie whole
matter is the bold and unqualified decla
ration in regard to the Hargroves case.—
M hat! two thousand three hundred and
eighty-six dollars and forty-three hun
dredths paid by Mr. Hargroves on his
receipt before I came into office? And
the books of the bank show it! Reader,
just look at the effrontery of the falsehood,
! the amount even in dollars and cents
named! and the books of the bank show
it! Now all I have to sav is, to repeat
my former declaration, anti that is, that
Mr. Hargroves had not paid one dollar to
the bank on his receipt, previous to my
going out of office the lst'of April, 38-36.
And if Dr. Fort will, under his own sig
nature, deny this assertion, and agree to
submit the. books of the bank to the in-
speclion ot such gentlemen us may be
conversant with such matters, 1 pledge
my sell to go to Miiledgeville, and prove
the falsehood to the world.
I will clearly exhibit the contrast be
tween the partial indulgence of the state-
selling doctor to his kinsman and partner,
under long continued and willful default,
aud his precipitate action against rite for
unintentional error.
1 deem it not improper to remark, that
although 1 have removed from the .State
ol Georgia, I can but feel the most lively
solicitude for its interest; and having been
born, and raised in that State, I can never
feel a disregard for tlte good opinion of
her citizens—and being located in view
of her very soil and growth, and having
daily intercourse with her citizens, these
feelings are constantly cherished.
CHARLES C. MILLS.
lrwinton, (Ala.) Jan. 20, IS37.
TO TIIE PUBLIC.
As aa act of justice to the principals of the
Hermitage Seminary in Scottsboroiigfi, we very
cheerfully comply with the request contained
in the annexed note, addressed us by those gen
tlemen.
Hermitage Female Seminary,
January ( Mh, 1837.
lion. J. G. Pofhi/f and W. If 7 . Cullens, Esq.
Gkxtlkmex—There have been various re-
ports in circulation of late in this community,
which are vile slanders against our characters,
having a direct tendency, and perhaps originally
designed to affect the institution over which w e
preside as principals. Having the misfortune
to be strangers to most of the people of Georgia,
we arc aware that whatever wo may say of
ourselves will be of little avail. We therefore
respectfully request you, as our acquaintances,
and ns the patrons of our institution, to state to
the public your opinion of our characters and
of this school, unbiassed by friendship or any
other consideration—for we are willing aud
anxious to bejudged by the eternal principles of
truth and justice, aud by these tribunals we will
stand or fall.
Respectful I v, vour friends,
* ISAAC PALMER,
N ATMAN LONGFELLOW.
We the more freely comply with the request
of Messrs. Palmer and Longfellow 1 , because W'e
believe our compliance may advance the im
portant interests of female education in this
community, and because impressions unfavora
ble to their characters, and of course to their
institution, had been made upon our minds by
the reports alluded to in their note. We had
heard that Mr. Palmer was a married man who
had absconded from an amiable and exemplary
wife without cause; and that Dr. Longfellow
was an abolitionist. These reports, if true,
carried with them accusations of the breach of
the most sacred obligations of our moral and
political institutions.
Having both been patrons of the school the
year past, bad we become satisfied of the tiuth
of the reports, we should certainly have with
drawn our support. But we have inquired into
them, and are perfectly sutified that they are
entirely erroneous. We have; therefore, not only
continued our patronage, but have considerably
increased it.
Of the character of Mr. Palmer, wc can say
from personal observation and the evidence of
others, that his deportment for more than a year
past in this community, has fully sustained
the high testimonials lie brought with him of
moral character and exemplary Christian con
duct as a member of the Baptist church—mild,
amiable and unobtrusive in his disposition—lie
is entirely devoted to 11is business, and interferes
with no one. He is a scholar of iiborid educa
tion. a graduate of one of our colleges, and fully
competent, as the past year’s observation lias
convinced ns, to teach the higher branches of
education. That he lias never been married,
we are tnorrally certain,—and can only suppose
the report on this subject to have originated
front confounding his identity with that of an
other person oftiie same name.
With Dr. Longfellow,our personal acquaint-
mice has been more limited, fie comes among
us with high recommendations—and our ob
servation of his conduct and manners since he
has been engaged in the school, satisfy us, that
he is a very important and valuable acquisition
to it. He is a gentleman of exceedingly affable
and amiable deportment; an acceptable member
of the Methodist church; a graduate of the same
college with Mr. Palmer, and has already
shown himself fully competent to teach the
sciences. Wc arc certain that he is not an
abolitionist. If he were, wc should be among
the last to countenance him for a moment in
nnv business, much less in that of teaching our
children.
Miss Lord, who fills the department of draw
ing, painting, and needle-work, hits established
a reputation for teaching that needs no com
ment. Those who have seen her performances,
have had satisfactory evidence that her depart
ment is fully sustained. We fear she might
deem us trespassers, should wc presume to
suggest one word about a character that no one
tan assail.
Miss Dakings in the musical department, is a.
pupil of the celebrated P. II. Mor ail of New
York. She has not taken up the business of
teaching as an alternative for a livelihood, but
has studied the science with a view of making
it her profession, which should .contribute, at
once, to eminence, usefulness and profit. She
brings from ladies and gentlemen of our ac-
quaFfttanec in Augusta, where she has lor some
time resided, tho most flattering testimonials of
high character and uncommon talent as a vo
calist, performer mid instructress.
Having thus given our opinion of the charac
ters and qualifications of the teacners ot tho
Hermitage Seminary, wo farther comply with
1 tie request of Messrs. Palmer and Longlellow,
in speaking of the character of their school,
though that would seem to be involved in what
lias been already said.
The Hermitage Female Seminary was coyi-
rnenced some eight or nine years since (in
Scotlliofough, Baldwin county, Georgia,) under
! the immediate superintendence of Mrs. Fitz-
j geraiJ, no elderly Indy, whose tx-mplary
character as ;Vprofessed’ Christian, and w hose
amiable and dignified deportment, render her
well qualified totake the charge of young ladies,
and to watch over their character and conduct.
By her untiring assiduity, she had the satisfac
tion of seeing her school gradually rising in
j reputation, until, at length, being desirous of
retiring from the ,tods and responsibilities of
j teaching, and at the same time wishing to see a
sciioo! sustained that would gratify her patrons
and adJ to the facilities of education at home,
she a few mouths since, resigned the institution
into tiie hands of the gentlemen of whom we
have spoken. Mrs. F. in common with other
highly respectable families in the village, ac
commodate the young ladies with board.
Since the school has, been resigned into the
hands of the present principals, a large and
commodious budding lias been fitted up with
separate rooms for its various depaitmen s. Its
location is retired and it is a very pleasant
resort for young ladies. Wc now take pleasure
iu saying, without disparagement of any other
institution, that wc deem this one of the best
female schools in Georgia. We are entirely
pleased with the course of study and the niod.i
of instruction. What is promised and attempted
we think will be thoroughly taught. A valuable
chemical, philosophical, and astronomical
apparatus have been purchased and are expect
ed soon to arrive, which will add greatly to the
demonstrations of tlte sciences, aud the benefit
of the.youB" ladies. In a word, wo think there
are sufficient talent and learning in the Hermit
age Seminary to make it a very desireable insti-
tution for our daughters aud well worthy the
patronage of the people of Georgia.
These are our opinions of the school and its
teachers. Should our expectations, (so farlully
realized,) be disappointed, we shall not hesitate
to undeceive our friends and the public. We
only add, that Scottsborough is celebrated as
one of tl e most healthy spots in tho United
States; and, excluding ourselves, we may bo
permitted to say, that the society, though limited,
is of the verv bos! character.
JOHN G. POLHILL,
WILEY W. CULLENS.
Scottsborough, January 33, 1837.
Though the above note of Mr. Palmer and
Dr. Longfellow was not addressed to us, we
fully concur in all that is said by Judge Pulhill
and Mr. Cullens, of the Scottsborough Ileimit-
nge Sominarv, and the teachers who superin
tend it. ‘ JOEL T. TUCKER,

From the Savannah Georgian.
Front all parts of the State that have been
heard from, it is gratifying to perceive that the
People of Georgia, are indignantly frowning
upon tiie fraud lately practised on them, by the
late Stockholders of the Insurance Bank of Co
lumbus, in tlieir selling that institution to Mr.
Biddle’s United States Bank of Pennsylvania,
it behooves us in this city who will be more in
jured Ity the Monster, coining again rttrnng us,
than any other part of the State, to be up and
doing, and endeavor to adopt such measures as
may prevent the Branch lately organized in
this place, from going into operation. 1 would
respectfully suggest that a meeting of citizens,
be held at an early day, let it be a general and
full one, and a committee be then appointed,
whose duty it shall be to engage tho best legal
talent in tiie State, who are not interested in
the institution, to apply to the Judiciary for re
dress, to restrain by iujuction, its establishing
a Branch in this City, the latu Stockholders
having violated tiie intention and spirit of the
charter by their sale. Should the laws of the
land prove insufficient to provide a remedy, then
let a petition be sent to tiie Governor for a call
of tho Legislature. Something must he done
and.lhat quickly. A CITIZEN.
Fro vt the Macon Telegraph.
THE INSURANCE BANK OF COLUMBUS.
Mr. Editor—In a government like this, \\ here
the liberty uf speech is tolerated in the fullest
extent—where the press is free and not shackled
by tiie fetters of despotism, different ideas upon
questions of public concern must necessarily be
entertained, from whence has arisen in our
country, at various times, different opinions on
subjects of vital importance to our country; and
although wc have seen tiie spirit of party fer
ment to a considerable height at our frequent
elections, yet so far from being an evil, perhaps
it may be said it is the verv palladium of our
liberty.
But upon the subject of tho transfer of the
Insurance Bank, to a foreign power or company,
there cannot, and ought not to be but one united,
bold and independent opinion cnteriaiiied by
every freeman of Georgia, and all who are de
termined to sustain the rights of the Statu in its
sovereign character, and at once to put down
those intruders upon our boasted liberties.
Among all the various strides of power, bank
ing manoeuvres in any age or country, to carry
on an uncoUatitutio.ia! inouied monopoly, the
conduct of the Insurance Rank and the United
Slates’ stockholders in that Bank is Ibe most i
flagrant insult that could be offered to the
sovereignty of the State, and a palpable viola
tion of its charter, and such an act as the con
stituted authorities of the State will instantly
look into.
The United States Bunk having struggled to
the last gasp, and been put dow n by the de
mocracy of tlte country, is now about to draw
the first of life, and feed oil the soil of Georgia,
by a kind of a sale; unwarranted by the laws
and constitution of our country; and lit is I pledge
ntyself to maintain in other numbers which will
soon follow.
Let all Georgians of all parties now show
their fidelity to tlieir State Institutions, and to'
State Rights, and at once show what are
real State Rights men, and act on the motto,
principia non homines. Suffer such transactions
to stand, and such unconstitutional contracts to
be enforced, and our bank charters to be tint*;
shamefully violated, and soon, y^s, very soon,
we would behold all our State institutions in the
hands of a foreign power; some of the monarclis
of Europe, and foreign capitalists, and our glo.
rioits Union dissolved.
If the chartered companies have a right to
sell their privileges to the United States stock
holders, they have an equal right to sell to
#ie Bans of England; and no-man can say
but such an act would be contrary to the ge
nius and spirit of our Government, a violation
ol its charter and an insult to the character of
the Slate. BALDWIN.

an Usurper. This reckless Firebrand,
upon this, throws out the followiug ridicu
lous threat: “We have said, that if Mr.
Van Buren seize upon the Presidency, «-
gainst the will cf the people, that people
would “male him trembled' Wc repeat it
again, and tell the usurper to look to it.
His destiny is sealed. No man can tram

It is difficult to say, whether the ends of
the Telegraph arc most desperate, or its
meant most indiscreet. An enlightened
people will never sanction such madcaps.

Republics are prone to be ungrateful-
therefore, Messrs. Christy and Hall, of
this city, should not be astonished that
the Texian congress have refused to ac
knowledge the obligations due them, in
the solid manner proposed. - We can
bear evidence, asr well as every other ci
tizen of New Orleans, to the zeal of both
of these gentlemen, more particularly the
former, in the Texian cause; but we must
be permitted to say, that they were both
guilty of a breach of neutrality, and vio
lated" the national faith, by infringing up
on the provisions of the treaty with Mexi
co, which ranks with tlte constitution as
the supreme law of tho land, and which
is equally as binding upon every citizen.
Their demand was refused upon the
ground that it was exorbitant; yet no
other remuneration which could be ac
cepted was proposed; although botli were
considerably out of pocket. This will
do more to cool tlte Texian mania, than
perhaps any thing else.—Xcic Orleans Bee,

GOUI) NEWS FOR TEXAS.
Sax Lons, Mexico, Nov. 23.
About ten days ago, Gen Bravo left for Tex
as with three thousand men, part via iMatamo-
ras, and part via Satillo. This, with about
twelve hundred men in Matamoras, is the whole
force; and you are to understand, that Bravo’s
men tire all the sweepings of the jails und raw
recruits, who came down lied in pairs, to pre
vent tlieir escape, and yet, 7n spite of all the
care taken of them, upwards of seven hundred
deserted, between Mexico and San Louis. I
have seen a letter from Gen. C. who says that
the poor wretches (Bravo included) are going
to Le sacrificed to the stupid obstinacy of the
clerical party, who insisted on the expedition, and
who completely govern poor Can o.
The latest accounts from the city of Mexico
represent things in a very low state. The in
habitants seem to bo as it were riveted to the
earth by the heat of the sun, so little animation
exists among tiietr.
Correspondence of the Baltimore Chronicle.
Fkkdehick, January 17.
Santa Anna is with us. He made a 11 mini
visit to Gen. Gaines, and was honoreJ in return
by a general visit front the whole of the offi
cers. It appears that the Mexican chief owes
much of the lenity shown him by the Texian au
thorities to tho kind offices of Major General
Gaines, who, in letters addressed to Houston,
Lamar, and other distinguished men of that
incipient republic, suggested the adoption of a
magnanimous course of conduct towards the fal.
len chief, and in tlte clemency of honorable
victory to merge the recollections of the Akuno.
He was very glad to see General Gaines, and in
his exultation, embraced the American with all
the ardor of a first love. He travels and dres
ses in a manner befitting his low estate, und to
wards his fellow men exhibits the only evidence
of his aristocratic bearing, in tho easy dignity ol
his demeanour. His emcnies must not withhold
from him the reputation of a well educated gen
tleman. He is certainly ail thid,whatever may he
his demerits on the score of humanity.

TO THE PUBLIC!
BANK OP MlLLEDGEViLLF.
T HE publication of the following letters is deemed pro
per from the publicity of the charge which brought
about the corroapondence, and the necessity of vindicating
myself and the hwtiiutiou with which I am concerned be
fore the public.
Another consideration has lmd very great influence with
me in adopting this course—having never entertained the
project of selling the Bank of Mili< dgeville to Mr. Biddle,
or any other person, but on the contrary, since its organiza
tion, having been fully determined, together with the gentle*
men with whum lam associated, to retain our stock,no
consultation upon the subject of selling the Bank has ever
taken plat e. If the alleged offer to sell had been made,
therefore, it must have been, not ouly without their authori
ty, hut without their knowledge, and in bad faith on my
part. To relieve myself from the painful position 1 hud
thus been made to assume in relation to my associates, in a
common trust, and as a duty no less due to them, I at once
instituted 1 lie subjoined correspondence, which I now sub
mit to them and to the public. 11. K. IliN&L
