It is made fiom the best barley that can be selected in Europe, with the eesense of an aromatic Italian ber ry of nckuowledgcd and extraordinary medical proper ties. It lias long since acquired a higher reputa tion, both in Europe and America, than any other diu retic beverage.- In Gravel. Gout, and Rheumatism, in Obstructions of the Bladder nnd Kidneys, nod in general Debilities, its effects are prompt, decided, and invariably reliable.— And its is not only a remedy for these maladies, but, in all cases in which they are produced by drinking bad water, which is almost universally the cause of them, it operates as a sureprerentire. The distressing (-flirt upon the stomach, bowels and bladder, of travelers, or new residents, and all persons unaccustomed to them, produced by the waters of nearly all onr great inland rivers, like the Ohio, Miss issippi, and Alabama, from the large quantity of de cayed vegetable matter contained in them, in a state of solution, is well known, ns also that of the waters of limestone regions, producing Gravel, Calculi, and Stone in the Bladder. The Aromatic Schiedam ScHXArps is an absolute corrective of these injurious properties of bad water, and consequently prevents t he diseases which they occasion. It is also found to be a cure and preventive of Fever nnd Ague, a com plaint caused by the conjoint effect of vegetable mala ria in the atmosphere, and vegatable prutescenees in- the waters of those districts in which it principally pre vails. The Aromatic Scieuam Schsees is conse quently in great demand by persons traveling, or about to settle in those parts of the country, especially, as well as by many in every community where it has be come known, on account of its various other remedial properties. In all eases of a Dropsical tendency, it is generally the only remedy required, when adopted in the early stages of the disease. lu Dyspepsia maladies, when taken in proper quantities, as a diet drink, and .-spe cially at dinner, it is found, by uniform experience, to be eminently efficacious in the most obstinate cases, when even the best of the usual remedies have failed to tlr n temporary relief.

With tue press, as with individuals, there is ' ax XcT to amend an Act t eit contra e.y o! opinion i pon the s b c s o: : December 1^47 tu Brown’s laic Message vetoing th Li.mk Dili With the majority of persons this difference ot opinion iz doubtless an honest one; and we have as little reason to doubt that some are influenced by private interest in their hostility to the Message. To the Banks themselves, and those who have long been beneficiaries of bank favors, the Governor may reasonably look for strong and bitter opposi tion, but it will be no very difficult matter for him to find a justification of his veto in the previously expressed opinions of even this latter class of his assailants. l'he more we think of the matter, the bettor sat isfied we become that the Governor is right. Now that the measure of relief for which the Banks asked has been granted them, what are they doing to accommodate the public? Are they ruakiuj. any efforts to relieve the couutry of its financial embarassmentsf They are not. On the contrary they are adding to those embarassments by refus ing either to s« ll exchange or furnish accommoda tions. Indeed it is a significant fact that not withstanding a heavy item in the official bank statements, immediately prior toJsuspension, was hills uf exchange, they have nolle to sell now that the Legislature has restricted the price to its for mer spe. i • b asis! Another significant fact is, that ati abundance of exchange may now be found in private hands for purpose of speculation. May we not reasonably suppose that this latter arrange ment originates with the Bunks, and that it is de signed to defeat the purpose of the law whichre- stricts them to one per cent. as the price of ex change? But we designed calling attention to some of the conflicting opinions of the press in reference to this subject of suspension. Among the journals most bitter in denouttetation of Gov. Brown, is the Chronicle Sf Sentinel. Its editor has long arrogated to himself the superior championship of tin- peo ple’s monetary interests, and has promised, time, and again, that he would be first to sound the note of alarm, should anything affecting that interest prove likely to occur Strang*: to say. now that Gov. Brown comes out on the side ot tlie people, and insists that the Banks should be required to discharge faithfully their obli gations to them, the Chronicle & Sentinel is among the first to assail him, and that, too, in the most bitter terms. With what consistency it does this, we leavee the reader to determine, after he shall have read a few extracts which we propose giving from its editorial columns of Oct. 1, 1857. It will he borne in mind that Gov. Brown holds the opinion that the Banks ought not to he permit ted to suspend; that to legalize their suspension would be an act of manifest injustice to tlie hill holders. Such opinions on the Governor’s part subject him to the chaste epithets of‘low grovel ling demagogue,’—‘a creature,’ who ‘does not deserve the name of man,’ Are., fiom tlie Chronicle «fc Sentinel. So it characterises the man who opposes Bank suspensions now; let us see what it said upon the same subject on the 4th of October last. We find the editor expressing himself as follows then: “A brief recurrence to tlie history of specie pay ments, by the Banks of tins country, may teach a wliolestmie lesson in this crisis, and learn the people that it is a most desperate resort—one in deed. never to bo countenanced or acquiesced in bv any mau who has the true interests of th sdd the 17 th day of Auiiioiiz *-parries to l onioel discoveries at common law, and tor other pur poses therein mentioned.

A-Y ACT to auuul the Tux Laics of this State. The General Assembly of the State of Georgia do enact as follows: Sect. 1st. It shall be the duty of Tax Collectors in the several counties of this State to diligently search out such defaulters, and the property in J' fault in their respective counties as may uot be ull_ I returned by the Receivers of Tax Returns, and to try at heart. A\ henever a Bank fails to pay its ascertain and enter in a book tone kept by each itions promptly in coin, or its equivalent, it should he discountenanced by the whole people, and firreil hy the Tiw to triad up its affairs and pay its debts. Indeed the very suspension of specie payments should he a forfeiture of the charter, and the subsequent attempt of any persons to bank under such charter, should be made npen itentiary offence, and visited with exemplary pun ishment.” •So spoke the editor of the Chronicle & Sentinel in October last, and yet he trie denounces as a ‘low, gravelling demagogue,’ the man who, having the ‘true interests of his country at heart,’refuses to sanction Bank suspensions! The editor, in tlie same article, proceeds to say: If this were the law in every State in the Union, the country would be free from the excessive inflation of the currency of the couutry by the Banks, and tLe necessary sequents, revulsions, panics, disasters and suspension, in every State where banking was required to be done on proper and legitimate principles, and the rights, interest and property of the people sufficiently gaurded against the Banc THIEVES and SWINDLERS. The idea that the suspension of specie payments will either give relief or promote the interests of the people in such a crisis, is the most absurd and ridiculous; and we never hear of a man suggesting the remedy, without thinking that Col. Benton’s operation of “Cutting fur the simples,' should be immediately perform, d on him.” Now, if Gov. Brew n is a‘demagogue’ for oppos ing Bank suspensions, what must the editor of the Chronicle & Sentinel be/ The other press of the State can with much more propriety condemn tin- Governor, in as much as they are uuconimitted to his views io the extent quoted above from the Chronicle & Sentinel—that Journal, to be consis tent, should sustain him iu opposition to Bank sus pensions.

The President s Message 0s Aicaraugua Alialrst The following is a sketch of the debate which took place ou Thursday, in the Senate, on the receipt of the above named Message, which we published yesterday:—Union. Mr Houston was anxious to have the documents printed, because he wanted information on the sub ject. Wheu the information was made public he would express his views. Mr. Seward referred to the fact that the President had announced in his Message that the arrest of Walker was without the authority of law, but the question then came up whether the officer who committed this act should be censured or punish ed iu any way for it. Ou that point the President makes and excuse for Paulding, which was that the pa. ty who had been arrested bad been indicted iulhe United States for an offense against our laws, and tailing to arrt3t them on the high seas, he naval officers had arrested them in the perfor in,. oce of the very act they had meditated. Here were two parties who were delinquent.— In the first place there was a band of lawless men who had escaped the vigilance of the police and gone abroad to levy war i:t violation of the laws ut the Unit-d States with a nation with which we were at ami y. On the other band there was au officer who through excess of vigilance had surpassed his instructions had himself committed a violation of the law. He thought the President had balanced this case with exact justice. The President hud censured the fugitives, and while admiring the good intentions of that officer, hud censured him for violating the law. W bat more could be asked? Suppose a punish ment more or loss severe should be passed upon this officer, what shall be done with the chief off rd<-r who has been brought buck? Nothing lias been done toward bringing him to a trial for the offense tor \Vhieh lie stands indicted, and the President is defied to his teeth by Walker, in his letter, ill which he states that no matter who may interfere, at home or abroad, he is determined to proceed in ; the prosecution of his design. I If honorable Senators insisted upon it, he was 1 not willing that censure should be passed upon Paulding, but he must ask them injustice to mete out some punishment for the greater criminal. Suppose the Government should punish Paulding and leave the others to go unpunished, what is tlie lesson that will be learned from this affair? It is, that you may go out of the jurisdiction of tin- United States, and levy war against any natio.i with whom we are tit peace, provided you can only escape the vigilance of the police on laud, and if you shall be arrested after you commence' your acts, although the State shall be grateful for the protection they receive, still the officer who makes tlie arrest shall be punished, audyoushall be apprehended. To be consistent they should go further and propose to restore Walker to the place from which lie was taken If it was right to invade Nicaragua it was equally right to invade New Grauada or Brazil, or any other South American Slate. Why should we punish the Pawnees or Apaches for committing depredations upon our citizens, and claim that our people shall go abroad with impu nity, and commit depre dations upon the people of other States. If gentlemen think the principle is right let them introduce a bill to repeal the neu trality laws. Mr. Davis-To what principle does tlie Senator allude? Air. Seward, That the crime is altogether in the offender beiug caught* but if he can escape from the United States and reach the country against which the war is to be made the act is in nocent and right. Air. Davis: Nobody on this side of the chamber asserts such a principle as that. Mr' Seward called attention to what had been said by Ids [Davis’) colleague (Brown,) that General Walker had violated no law; but the Presi dent, on the other hand, thought he had not only violated the law of the land, but had also violated the higher law. [Laughter.] Mr. Davis replied that it was the sacred priv ilege of an American citizen to bear arms, and j whenever he chose to leave his own country and risk his life and lot tune iu fighting for the op pressed elsewhere,-he had a right to do so. Ii was iqion that principle the war of 1812 took place, and it was a principle dear to every American heart Mr. Pugh was of opinion that the principles laid down iu the Message were neither warranted by the Constitution, nor by any statute law of the United States, nor by any principle of the law of nations. The question was not whether Walker was committing a crime against Nicaragua. Let! IT ' \ ("V.',”'”" — *■- .•.•■-. ..Be - - " .

He believed that the ex pedition of Walker front tile United States was a tia- graut violation of the laws of the United States, and that the President did nothing but his duty iu authorizing the naval forces to prevent that expedition from attacking people with w horn we are at pence. He believed that it was due to the character of the nation that such steps as that should be taken to put down these marauding expeditions, which bring disgrace upon the couu try. Air. Alason moved the reference of the Mes sage to the CommiUe on Foreign Relations, and that it be printed together with the accompany ing documents. Motion agreed to. Mr. Davis dissented from the arguments con tained in the Message. The President had as sumed that the Neutrality laws, which required that such expeditions as this should be sup pressed, also conferred upon the Executive the power to go beyond the jurisdiction of tlie United States to suppress them. This seemed to b* the key to the policy ou the part of the Ad ministration, winch sent the navy down to the coast ofCeutral America instead of stationing the vessel wi.ere they should have betn sta tioned namely, at tin- mouth of the Alississippi and on the coast of Alabama. Were this expe dition all that it is described to be, it is only a misdemeanor instead ot a violation of the Neu trality laws. The suspicion that there was an intent to make war against a nation with which we are at peace, would have justified the detention of Gen. Walker and his men within the lim ts of ti e United States, but not their arrest beyond our own limits. As we have no extradition treaty with Nicaragua, they could not have lawfully' been taken upon her soil even had they been fugi tives from justice. The President has no more power to make such arrests than any member of Congress. If our neighbors are too wehk to protect them selves, we should use all lawful means to prevent our citizens from invading their territory, but it is not witbm the theory of our Government to fit out expeditions to catch half a dozen or a dozen, or one or two hundred men who may choose to leave tlie United States and land upon their shores. In this respect lie thought we were making a great departure from those principles which heretofore guided the conduct of our Government. If it be the pleasure of Congress to give the President police powers over the high seas, and authorize him to use the army and navy as a constabulary force, let it be doue by the passage of laws with that view. Air. Mason doubted the expediency of discussing tlie subject without more mature deliberation. The President was by the Constitution the head of tlie army aud navy, and tlie laws of the land direct how these are to be used. He contented himself with the remark that it was clearly incumbent on the President to see that the Neutrality laws were faithfully executed. Air. Crittenden referred to the President’s ad mission that Commodore Paulding committed a grave error. According to his own premises such a conclusion was altogether illogical, and the conduct of Paulding was as conformable to law as if lie had receieved express instructions to do what lie did. Air, Blown regarded it as a little singular that while the President disapproved of tiie arrest of General Walker he at the same time excused that act. The arrest of Walker was in violation of law, tor it Paulding had the right to make the arrest his conduct is not only to be excused but to be ap plauded. If he had no legal right to do that act ti.eu the President owes it to the people of tiie coun try to condemn it. It Walker tvas guilty of any violation of law and had been arrested and brought back to our shores as a fugitive from justice, why is he not put into the clutches of the law? Why was he taken to New York and placed in the hands of the Marshall there, then brought here and delivered to the Executive,and then set at liberty ? Wh y was he not carried bark to Louisiana by the same authority that arrested him, and there put upon liis trial on this charge of violating the law? This was a farce, being played out before tho American, people which was disreputable to all engaged in it. There had been trumped up this charge against Walker when it was known there bad been no violation ot law. If they believe that he has violated the law they have been guilty ot dereliction ot duty in not punishing him for it, The fitting out of an expedition iu violation of tlie neutrality laws was one thing, but the voluntary expatriation of a citizen was an alto gether different thing. If Walker went to Nicara gua avow ing that it was his purpose to endeavor to regain the rights of which he had been dis- ht to do. avenger of her wrongs? Was Walker commit!- \ri -1.11,1 *• , . ing any crime upon the high seas? What has he I l ( . Bl ® wn . ) l ,md * n K ht * ? k f h i? done?

Be it enacted by the authority the means. He denied the right of the Govern ment to arrest persons upon the high seas and ask them where they were going and what their busi ness, and send them home it they were not satisfied about them. The right of an American citizen to expatriate himself was a sacred right, and w should be careful how we trench upon it. Wliil the Administration are talking about the iniquity of Walker’s proceedings in Central America, they go on deliberately, in violation of the faith of treaties and the honor of nations,to invade the soil of a foreign couutry for the purpose of arresting him. Air Toombs thought the Alessage cont: grave and important errors, and entered his dis sent from them. Tin- President dared uot defend, while he endeavored to palliate this outrage to au Amercau .Senate. After examining some of -rite grounds upon which that puliation wasattenipted he said the President assumed a question now jbefore the legal tribunals of the country. He assumed that the Neutrality laws had been violated, and it was his business to enforce them. Mr Tootnbs denied that there was any proof that such wxs the cas<— but admitting, for the sake of argument, that this were true, what right hxs the President to use tiie army nnd navy all ovor the face of the earth? Thi- was unsurpation of authority, not only in dero gation of law, hut in derogation of his oath of of fice. He must get tlie authority of law to use any extra territorial jurisdiction whatever. He could commandjno popular respect as a vindicator of the laws ofhis country unless lie, hinself, should obey the laws. But in this case one law has been violated for tlie purpose uf vindicating another. Governor Kossuth was in the Senate Chamber to to show himself years ago. That gentleman was driven from power by Austria and Russia, and came here after “material aid” to replace himself That, was just the case of Walker, and while oue was glorified the otiier was villified. As t) the letter of Paulding, tiie coarse brutality of that correspondence must he admitted by every human being. It totally unfitted him to be the comman der of a ship, or even to be cabin boy. Air. Doolittle understood that it would be a cause of war by Nicaragua against this country if an ex pedition was unlawfully set on foot within our jurisdiction against her. The President was as much bound to niantaiu the faith of treaties as any law of the country. Air. Alallory vindicated the character of Commo dore Paulding, aud alluded to his Revolutionary ancestry, hut did not pretend to palliate, this act If such acts were permitted to be committed by naval officers, in a very short time this country would be involved in hostilities with foreign nations. If you send naval captains to stop fili busters with loose instructions, they will under stand them as seamen, not as jurists. We under stood that the Administration had detached Cha- tard because he did not arrest Walker. If he is punished for not doing that act, we ought to ap plaud Paulding for doing it. Air. Douglas returned the compliment of Air. Brown, who had said he admired his (Douglas’s) pluck for expressing liis opinions. He (Douglas) found he was getting into good company and beating up recruits faster than Walker. He (Douglas) thought it would be found after awhile that they were all in the party, and were not to be accused of faction because they happen to differ from the President in some of their views. Some strange things happen now-a-days. Even the Senator from New York was supporting the Administration, aud defending u, attacks Democrats. Air. Seward said the President had announced that. Walker had not only violated the laws of the land, but the higher law, and he (Seward) would be recreant to liis duty as an advocate of the higher law, if he did uot support the Presi dent. [Laughter.] Mr. Douglas thought the higher law very well in its plaee, but not in executing the Neutrality laws. He would rather look to the statutes of the United States, and see where the authority was for the President to use the Army and Navy. The law of 1800 defined the jurisdiction to extend one marine league from the coast, and the Government had no authority to make an arrest beyond that distance. He was in favor of giving the Neutrality laws a fair, faithful and rigorous execution. This is a Government of law, and let ns stand by the laws, aud execute, them, whether we like them or dislike them, so long as they stand on the statute book. He had no sympathy for filibustering. Its tendency is to defeat the very object we have in view—namely, expansion of the area of freedom. He was in favor of the expansion of this country, but in a lawful and regular manner. He was not willing to send our naval officers with vague instructions, filibustering ail over the high seas, under the pretense of put ting down filibustering. He had opposed the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty because he did not wish to bind this country not to do that which it might he necessary for its safety to do—that is, toamiex those territories only half tlie distance to California and on the direct road. anything could bring reproach and eternal dis grace upon the navy it was this precise course of action. First: Commander Chatard allowed Gen. Wal ker to pass him, and then, seeming to have a glimmering idea that he mistook liis duty, he undertook to cover liis neglect by resorting to mean and dirty attempts to insult Walker in hi* camp, evidently with the intention of provoking him to some act so that he might have an excuse to tire upon him. Secondly: Com. Paulding appeared, a man of ripe years, doing what every one knew he has done, and which it was unnecessary to recapitulate, and writing just such a fetter as ought to affix tiie seal of eternal disgrace upon him. It was a disgrace to the very epaulettes 011 his shoulders. It was h.gh time that our naval officers should bo confined to the discharge of their duties according to law, for there was too much disposition to ex ceed the law by one and all of them. He cotind not forbear saying that tho President would better have discharged ids duty to the laws and the best interests of the country by pointedly rebuking the lawless act of Com. Paulding, than by excusing it. It would net do for the President to say that Com. Paulding's act was a violation of law, and then wink at it. No matter if Nicaragua docs not. complain. It was not for us to violate our laws, even though Nicaragua docs not com plain. and execute them when she does complain. Our duty is to go according to law. If Com. Paulding has conformed to law, let hint be ap plauded; if not, let him be condemned. He admired the spunk of the Senator from Il linois (Douglas ) in boldly expres-ing his views heretofore, although lie differed from every view uttered by that Senator on the Kansas question. Adjourned till Alonday. Public R&seting' in Carroll. According to previous notice, a large and res pectable portion of our citizens assembled inthe court house 011 Tuesday the 5 instant wheu W. W. Morrell was called to the chair and A H. Black, requested to act as secretary. Dr. James II. Rod gers being called upon fully explaiued the objeet of tn? meeting. A committee of three was appointed hy tho chairman, consisting of James H. Rogers Thomas Bonner Sr and W. W. Cobb to report suitable busi ness for the action of the meeting. The committee after returning, presented a ma jority and a minority report, the following are the resolutions of the majority which were unani mously adopted by r the meeting. Whereas the last General Assembly of the State of Georgia passed by a constitutional majority over the Veto of the Governor, a bill legalizing the suspension of the banks in this State, until the loth of November, 1858, on their present liability, We therefore deem it tho duty of the people in their sovereign capaci ty, to denounce in unqualified terms, such a course of unwise and lawless legislation. Beit therefore rxsolved, that tve wholly approve of the Veto Mes sage of Gov. Joseph E. Brown ou the bank sus pension bill. 2. Resolved that in the opinion of this meeting said bill as passed by a majority of two thirds, and is therefore the law of the land is not only inex pedient, but unconstitutional and void. 3 Resolved that our thanks are due and hereby tendered to our representatitives A. J. Boggess aud A. O. Embry for their manly opposition to said bill. Dr. James H Rogers made a miuority report, which included the majority report, with the fol- 'owing additional resolutions. Resolved.that we recommend tlie collecting offi cers to refuse to give judgement in ail and any cast** or cases of debt until a general resemption of specie payment by the batiks. Resolved, that we recommend the people of each county in the State to hold meetings and instruct their collecting officers to refuse to collect all and any debts until the banks resume specio payments, and for all tlie farmers that have not sold their cotton to bold on to it until there is a general resumption of specie payment, by the Banks.

Two charming women one day discussing what it is that constitutes bennty in the hand: They differed in opinion so much as in the shape of the member whose merits they were discussing.

For the Federal Union. The Votes on the Baak Suspension BUI. Messrs. Editors: I have spent an hour in ana lysing the votes on tho bill legalizing the suspen sion of the Banks, recently passed by the Legisla ture of Georgia, aud, with your permission, will lay the result before your readers. It will be recollected that tho Senate passed this bill at an early stage of the session, and it was forthwith sent to tlie House, where it lay on the Secretary’s tabic till the last Saturday of the session, where it was taken up and passed by the House also, by a vote of 04 ayes to on nays. The bill was sent to the Governor, as customary, for bis approval. He re turned it to tue Seuate, where it originated, with his veto. The respective Houses of the Legisla ture took it up again, and again passed it by a vote of two thirds, thus making it a law under the Constitution without the sanction of the Govern or. Tit • last vote stood ayes 08, nays 34. I shall confine myself for the present, to tho vote of the House of Representatives. As this Bank ques tion is one of great importance to the people, I think it is proper that they should know how their Representatives cast their votes ou the occasion, who voted uniformly, the same, and how—who changed their votes, aud who omitted to vote alto gether. Those ic ho voted both times in favor of the passage of the Bill are Messrs. Batts, Braswell, Christy, Clarke, Curenton, Darden, Delamar, Frederick, Gilbert, Gordon, Griffith, Grovensteine, Hardeman, Hames, Har ris of Dougherty, Harper, Harrison, Hines, Hol ton, Holliday. Holmes, Hughes, Irwin, Johnson, lones. Kenan, Kimbrough of Stewart, Lee. Alat- tox, AlcMilli.ui, AlcWiiorter, Alilledge, Alintz, Moore of Clark, Alott, Neal, Owens, Phillips, Pit- tard. Schley, Sprayborry, Taylor, Terrell Walker of Clark, Westmoreland, White, Wilkes, and Wimberly. 48. Those icho voted both times in opposition to the bill are Messrs. Avery, Barrett, Blade, Conicy, Embrey, Faiu of Fannin, Fain of Union, Fincanuou, Fort ner, Gay, Hall, Kirby, Lufftnan. AIcAfee, Mc- Cauts, vleConnell, McEver, Moore ot Glynn, Pickett, Price, Roberts of Cherokee, Smith of Coweta, Smith of Towns, Strickland, Taliaferro, Webster, Wood, Worley and Wright. 29. Those tcho voted first against the Bill and after wards in its favor are Messrs. Bigbam, Crittenden, Cannon, Coleman, Davis, Glass, Harris of Cobb, Hays, Hillyer, How ard, Lewis of Hancock, Shelton, Sherman. 13. Those icho voted first for the. Bill and afterwards against it arc Messrs. Cook and Julien. 2. Those icho voted the first time in favor of the Bill . hut dul nut vote afterwards arc Alessrs. Bailey, Barton, Chapman, Everett, Fuller, llarkuess, Lazenby, McLean, Alerchison, Mizeli, Alyers, Powell, Fiuett and Tomlinson. 14. Those who voted first against the Bill hut did not vote afterwards are Alessrs. Boggess, Duncan, Gresham, Hardy, Alar- shall, Sheffield, Wall and Young. 8. Air. Faulk voted against the Bill, and Messrs. Brassell, Daniel and Kitchens in its favor the second ballot. They did not vote at the first bal lot. 4. It will be seen, from this enumeration, that 118 members of the House voted on the Bank Sus pension Bill, either before or after the veto, 04 voting for its passage and 50 against it before the veto, making in the aggregate 114 votes ; and 08 voting for it and 34 against it after the veto, mak ing in the .aggregate 102 votes. The House, I think, is composed of 102 members, omitting the Speaker, who does not vote only in case of a tie. If I am correct in regard to tlie number compos ing the House, 44 members did not vote on the Bill at all. Ou the first ballot 48 did not vote, and on the second ballot 60, or more than one third of the whole number. I do not wish tn draw any inferences from these statements, but to leave your readers to draw thtir own. What caused this large number of absentees on both occasions when the ayes aud nays were called on this bill, who either were not present, or did not vote if they were present? What caused the number of changes 011 the final vote, after members had had a mouth to consider the bill? What caused 12 ab sentees from Saturday to Tuesday', at the heel of the session, when suclt important measures were under consideration? It will also be seen that only 48 members voted uniformly for the bill at both ballotiugs. Wliat caused this'vascillatiou? I ask for information. An Old Democrat. Note.—The above classification is accordin to the list I have used. But the list, as printed, may uot possib ly be correct, and I have no op portunity of examining the Journal. According to another list Air. Boggess was at his post ou both ballotiugs, and voted on both occasions in opposition to the bill. Mr. Reed, also, is set down in this list, as voting, on the last ballot, in the affirmative, and Mr. Strickland s name is omitted iu the last balloting. (Sot. Brown an*] the London Times. Editors. Federal Union : Gentlemen: For your manly defense of Govern or Brown, in his war upon corruption, you de serve the thanks of all honest men. I cut the fol lowing piece from the New Y'ork Express of the 4th instant, copied into that paper, from the Lon don Times; please put it in your paper, aud ask all your readers tostudy it well, anditsk all the papers of the State, that are not sold to the Banks, and are not afraid of them, to copy it into their columns; that ati the knaves, who have abused, and ati the cowards and fools who deserted him, may hang their heads iu shame, while the frowns of a betrayed people, and the linger of scorn is pointed at them. Here is an Editor, right under the nose of mon archy, and a great Aristocracy, surrounded by the great delinquents that he denounces, and within sight of an omnipotent Parliament, aud yet in de- .. Aenee of the people’s rights, he is not afraid to proclaim these delinquents felons! in plain terms, and Parliament no better than abettors of felony, in relieving them front the penalties of the law And yet, when Governor Brown uses mild lan guage in comparison of this, knaves howl, and cowards skulk! lias it come to this! has the time so souu arrived, that there is a bolder spirit of freedom aud independence, under the monar chy which our fathers cast otf, than in the boast ed Republic that they founded ? 1 appeal to the laibought nuterriried people to auswer this ques tion; let them say, whether they will stand by their honest friend Governor Brown, or forsake him, and leave him to the malice of his defamerg, and their destroyers ? I think I hear their re sponse .' Listen,to the thundering echoes from the mountains to the sea! “long live our honest, fearless Governor.' down with the traitors!” JOHN HAMPDEN From the London Times. Commercial florals in England—Astounding Developments! The public are astounded at the commercial disclosures on every side. Even those most con versant for years past with all the great operations of business, had no idea of the degree of corrup tion that at each turn-was defeating the efforts of the honest trader. The question is, have they yet any adequate conception of the extent to which tlie system has been carried? Persons are dis posed to comfort themselvs by the conclusion that every case of delinquency appears iu print and makes a great stir, while the multitude of ordina ry transactions arc carried ou with regularity, day after day, and excite no notice. There could not be a greater delusion. On ati hands there is a combi nation to palliate and bush up the practices that have been prevalent: and no more difficult or dan gerous duty could be undertaken than that of en deavoring to defeat it.—Even if any class of obser vers happen to be aware of organized schemes of deception of the most objectionable and suspicions features in the management ofcompanies or firms, they can do little to warn the community until some open default is committed, and the final ex- 1,fesiou is consequently at hand. The forces that were drawn together at Glasgow, consisting of the aristocracy and wealth of Scotland, to beat down ati who might attempt to question the position of tlie Western Bank, and to expose its vile career furnished a specimen of the obsLicles to be en countered; and i; is a fact that, while tiiat concern was applying for help to the other hanks, even the statem tit that these banks wished to stipulate for tlie winding up of its affairs was widely denounced as a muliguant libel. In another case, a firm whose position was un derstood, but which had contrived through the help of the Western Bank to temporarily arrest an exposure, induced a well known legal house in Loudon to protest against the damage “recklessly” inflicted on its credit by the mention of its name, although within a fortnight of that date it was shown to be disgrcefully insolvent. When Air Oliver broke dow n at Liverpool, after a career of speculation, in tho h' ight of which he had been presented by his admiring townspeople with a ser vice ot plate, some of the leading merchants, in cluding the Chairman of the Borough Bank, and it is believed, Mr. De Wolf, of the great firm of Do WolfiSt Co., which has just stopped for about £200,090, showing 2s. in the pound for its credi tors, actual ly posted a notice on the Exchange, contradicting and stigmatizing the announcement as a wanton injury. It this is the experience iu the most rotteu and hopeless cases, what would have to be expected if a breath was uttered regard ing any concern that might still by possibility be patched up soas to allow of its defying all impu tations? The case of the Nortlt of Europe Steam Company, in which a warning to the public ag gravated the injury it was intended to avert, since ii drew forth an unquailified denial from the di rectors, which led many persons to increase their investments at high prices, will be fresh in recollec tion. The habit is universal, and is encouraged in all quarters. There is abundant sympathy for ' the speculator who has lived in good style for years and whose position may at last be questioned; but none for that /rest mass of people, who iu conse quence of his operations, have been paying higher prices for all the necessaries of life—none for those who have been tempted by high wages into over stocked branches of labor ,aud who are suddenly thrown into destitution—and none for society ' general, which will suffer through many im,/'* jtoars from a generation of young meu brought n to the belief that there is no such thing as "ho- ' P trade, and that ho is greatest who most excels ' tlie adulteration of goods, the manufacture of s U cotnmodation bills, and tho management of f r . duleut suspensions. Such is ever"the case rUU " The offender in his distress is a tangible ’ 0 bi,.,.. of pity, while the community he has wronged an 1 dishonored is only a shadowy conception; and eminent in relieving him, even at the cost of vi lating a taw, merely acts out the wishes of the ml, jonty. Iu tho circumstances it will be easily derstood that not one tithe of tho delinquent •* that now pervade every brauch of trade are l,Ui to come to light. There is no legal machinery m promote any such object, but a most extensive and almost resistless action on the otiier side Tl Legislature have always been too busy in' ,*1 dliug as to the nature of obligations which com mercial men should be allowed to uudertake to I ab led to devote time to the introduction of a la!° to enforce nader swift and adequate penalties th simp.e principle that every obligation once avia! must be lailhtully lulfilied, and to brim* to iu - every one who has robbed anotherby fal.re mueiic^ 0 There was much display of business in this I* '* session, but it has apparently effected nothin' The prosecution of the British Bank directors '«• a wonderful effort to mark the inauguration^f '* new reign of virtue, but it is understood th-- e xu * riineut is never likely to be repeated, the costs an f confusion having been awful. J Notwithstanding ati the notoriety of his case it is easy to prophecy that Mr. Stephens of the London aud Eastern Corporation, will escane tn enjoy the remainder of his life on the tnarria-i settlement acquired from the funds of that e t-" lishment. From tho first, the other directors have never even been threatened with prosecu tion. It is true the daily journals are now filed with developments of cases of sequestration or bankruptcy, or of the winding up of fraudulent concerns; but these are ati exceptional, and anv oue reading the proceedings will see that they merely relate to a few stragglers that hive been caught out of a whole army of marauders Eve ry word uttered in the various examinations serves to show how the individual insolvent was but one of a constantly extending circle—how he was terrified into lendiug more money or oramino’ further acceptances by creditors who threatened to fail and expose him, aud how he itt turn got more from some one else—in most cases the man ager of a joint stock bank—by pursuing a similar course. In one case, now pending at Glasgow, a house is shown to have had seventy-five real or ficti tious correspondents, all insolvent like itself, upon whom it had drawn to the amount uf 8380 000 the whole finally centering iu the Western Bank. Is this a solitary specimen? are there not hundreds of analogous but more adroit cases that might be developed on every side—often, appar ently with much difficulty, if any judgment may be formed from the leading figures lateTy present ed in some of the London balance-sheets; and as soon as the preseut crisis is over, will not ati these persons again go to work? In the present state of the law there is nothing to obstruct aud every thing to encourage them. The belief, is that, uot- with tending the recent wrecks and the lateness of the period to which the “relief’ granted by tlie suspension of tbe Bank Charter Act was deferred, the accommedatiou paper still in circulation in London and throughout the kingdom would present a total such as few persons not accus tomed to reflect on such matters would be prepared to execute. The remedy, of course, would be to punish the drawers and acceptors for conspiracy to defraud. Every bill of exchange purports to have been for “value received.’, If two men con spire to manufacture such a document, and to pass it as genuine into the hands of a trade, nothing can be more obvious than the nature of tbe transac tion. But Parliament, perhaps, would rather pass a whole session in discussing whether they could devise some new measures to interfere with the natural course of enterprise, and direct it into such channels as might be fashionable with them for the moment, than descend to so small a matter as this simple application of the criminal law. Wilkinson County Meeting. Tuesday January 5th 1858. On this day, pursuant to previous call, a largo portion of the oicizms of Wilkinson county, ltav- met at the Court House in Irwinton, to take into consideration the action of the Georgia Legislature in relation to the recent bank suspensions Will iam A. Hall and Leroy Fleetwood Esqs. were called to the chair, and James C. Bower and Samuel S. Player Esqs. were requested to act as Secretaries. The meetng being organized, Dr. R. J Cochran was called upon to explain the object of the meet ing, which he ddi in au able and appropriate ad dress. Dr. Cochran then offered the following resolutions; to wit: Resolved, that the veto of the Bank-bill, by h is Excellency Governor Brown, meets the cordial approbation of the people of this county.
