The U. S. Bank Conspiracy.
The Philadelphia Times says, the wholesub-
stancc of them is simply this. The Bank
statement shews conclusively that Messrs. Bid
dle and Andrews abstracted four hundred thou
sand dollars from the institution, and applied
the same to some secret purpose, covering up
the abstraction and appropriation by an ingen
ious hocus pocus operation upon the books.—
The Bank now prays the court to compel Messrs.
Biddle and Andrews to answer such ques-
tions as it shall put intended to shew the nature
of the whole transaction, and explain what be-
comeof that immense sum of money. The de
fendants beg to be excused from a reply, on

From the Baltimore Republican.
Ginns' Up*
The late election returns from the different
States, have “knocked the fight.” out of some
of the leading coon prints in New York, and
they are now seriously debating with one an
other about the propriety of dousing their
fl tgs and hauling off to repair damages. The
Courier and Enquirer and Tribune are dis
posed to fight only in such parts pf the State
as they are certain the cocns have strength ;
[very uncertain any where just now,] while
other journals are for fighting a general battle.
Oilier old coons, whose fur is aiiting thin from
repeated thrashings, are for crd^iing into their
holes and there remaining to recruit strength
against 1844. This is the way matters now
stand in the Empire State, which was carried
with a sweep in the Presidential election.
The real Clay prints do not wish to see the
flags pulled down, knowing full well as they
do, that some other name will be hoisted in
their stead, when the time arrives to unfurl
them.—-They, therefore, try to keep up the ex
citement, in order to prevent the Whig army
from disbanding to rally again under some
other Chief than the Great Embodymcnt.
The principles which it is well known that Mr.
Clay entertains as regards all prominent ques
tions, have rendered him unpopular, and evety
attempt in the late elcciions to rally under h s
standard having proved this, the leading or
gans are anxious to let him drop; and in order
to do this as easily and smoothly as possible,
they propose in New York, not to enter the
contest, but to be mere lookers on,—they will
sheath their swords, take off their helmets aiid
stand nloof, until arrangements are completed
to marsItHl under some other chief! Tne fol
lowing from the Albany Argus is to the point:—
Judge Mclienn and tMcarj Clay.
There ere indications that these politicians are likely to
be ririiIs for the \\ Itig nomination for the Presidency. It
is unquestionable, that die ultra partizans of Mr. Clay are
rery sure at this suggestion j an.i therefore; when the Ar-
gus mtide the remark, that the Whig party of New York
might abandon Mr. Clay in the Harrisburg Cohvention.it
was received in the spirit we anticipated. It ignites them
like a torch applied to a powder magazine.
But the indignant denial of the Clay presses will not a
rail. The doctrine of availability, though nt present dis
guised, is still their leading principle, and to this, the man
agera r.asy he wilting, as they have before done, to sacrifice
their moat gifted leader.
In the minds of the political calculators who guide the
Whig party, the elections since Vnrcli, in New Hamp
shire. CoooectScet, Virginia, Louisiana, Illinois. Kentucky
• ad Indiana, show the utter hopelessness of electing Mr.
Clay. Connecticct, Louisiana and Indiana, were relied
upon as certain for him; yet they have just made an unan
awerable demonstration against ihe measures of Mr. Clay.
In this event, what is to be done? Will not an individ
bo selected who may draw nut the entire whig oboli
tion strength of Ohio as w’ell as of New York, and who can
• tat be? Is it not .lohn McLean, of Ohio ?
The letter from Judge Bui nett, of Cincinnati, may be re
girded usafecler. His sagacity and orthodoxy the N. Y.
Commercial thus heartily endorses: —
"This gentleman, wir readers need not be told, is one of
the oldest, most respected, end most honorable citizens
of Ohio. He is one of the old school Whigs—the Wash
iigtonian school—and was among the early settlers of Ohio,
He has nliown himself able in the senate, and wise in coun
cil. Hi« words ar- conscqucmlv icorcls of wisdom"
The Commercial still farther remarks upou Hie growing
influence of the abolitionists, and of the utter helplessness
of the Whig candidate without securing their aid, to lhe
following strain:—
"Let llie reader mark well the import of the whole letter.
Let him pander the passages which we have marked in
italics. Those passages reveal the secret of our troubles;
for as Judge Burnett speaks of Ohio, and nr thmarplot
influence of the oboillioniata, so irill every intelligent
Wbt", who does not wilfully shut his eyes to the true stale
of the case—who does not, like the silly os'rich. thrust his
head into the sand—speak in reenrd la the effect ol their
votes in every free Stale of ihe Union.”
the end. That they used the money for some
purpose which they are ashamed or afr.tid to
mention. Still the question recurs,—what be
come of the money? What become of the

danced before the people, the JMadisonitm asks,
“And what are Mr, Clay’s prospects in 1844 ?”
The answer is to be found in the following, which
“will perhaps give as fair a view of his success,
as any calculations that can be made at the pres

Most singular circumstance—The Rev. Mr.
Burnham, mi ister of the Society now worship

and related the followtg strange story, which
had he not been a clergyman, wc could hardly
have believed. One evening last week, the
Reverend gentleman’s wile was taken suddenly
and seriously ill, when, during a violent fit of
vomiting, she ejected a Live Frog, about half
grown ! The frog hopped half way across the
raont, and then, with something like dramatic
dignity, laid down on his hack, anil expired !—
Mrs. Burnham supposes that she took the frog
into her stomach, in the tadpole state, wliile
drinking water in .the night, ns she had been
in the habit of so doing, and that it had been
in her stomach for some weeks. Mr. Burnham
remarked to us that although he was not much

witnessing such a strange addition to his fami

The following is from the Northampton
[Mass.] Democrat:—
“ They have commenced, at Cincinnati, the
manufacture of a very neat und useful article
of floor and hearth cloth, from hog’s hair.
The hair is softened by immersion in lard oil;
and afterwards spun and wove into cloth, and
colored as fancy dictates.”
Curious.—A woman of less than ordinary
size of bone, lately ut Grcensburgh, Indiana,
weighing over six hundred pounds 1 she had
been afflicted with jtohjsarca. Notwithstanding
her great obesity, it was Iter custom to do a share
of the household work’until a short time before
her death, and three hours prior to her decease
she waiked across the room. An examination
of the body after death showed the walls of the
abdomen to be twelve inches thick ; her eyes
and nose were almost entirely obscured by the
large accumulation of fatty matter.— Charles

Belt of the City of New York.—The total
debt o! the city of New York is S23.S00.000.
The city, therefore, is obliged to pay, annual

the tax payers of that city to ha"d over near

EATONTON, Sept. 14.1843.
We transmit to you for publication, the subjoin
ed correspondence with the Hon. John C. Cal
houn on the subject of the piotective policy.
So astonishing has been the boldness and incin-
ccrity with which some of the more unscrupulous
of his opponents, had asserted Mr. Calhoun tube
the advocate of a high protective Tariff; that it
was believed to be-proper, to obtain from him the
most direct and unqualified expression ofhis opin
ion on the subject, you perceive by referring to his
letter, that his views are given.promptly and une
quivocally, anil should forever put to silence the
shameless, unblushing and truly reckless imputa
tion which has been so unjustly attempted to be
cast upon the purity of the principles of this renow
ned Southerner.
It is proper also to say, that, we entered at the
same lime, into a coricspondence with the Hon.
Henry Clay, on the same subject, stating to him
that efforts had been made, and were still making,
to induce the people of Georgia to believe that he
had abandonetl his long cherished principle of
protection to Northern Manufactories. We recei
ved from him a prompt reply. That reply how
ever, contained a wish that his letter might nut be
published. We therefore, refrain from its publi
cation, but at the sdme time, have the pleasure of
sending you an epitome of his principles, taken
from the Harrisburg Intelligencer, by his ow
hand, and inclosed to us in his letter, in which you
will see he avows the principle of protection. It
is not believed to be a breach of obligation to state
bis letter reiterated the same principle, having vi

MR. CLAY’S PRINCIPLES.
Democratic Whig Principles.
1st. Sound National currency, regulated by the
will and authority ofilie nation.
2d An adequate Revenue, with FAIR Pro
tection to American industry.
3d. Just restiaints on the Executive power, em
bracing a further restriction on the exercise of the
veto.
4th. A faithful administration of the public do
main, with an equitable distribution offlie proceeds
oftlidsales ofit among all the states.
5tli. An honest nnd economical administration
of the General Government, leaving public officers
peifect freedom of thought attd ol the right of suf
frage, but with suitable restraints against impro
per interferencein elections.
6ili. An amendment to the Constitution limiting
the incumbent of the Presidential office to a Single
term.
These objects attained T think, that we should
cease to be afflicted with bad administration of the
Government.
HENRY CLAY.
Let the people read and reflect.
“Home Consumption.*’
Do what we will, it appears to be impossible
satisfy our Clay neighbor of the Messenger. If w
talk about National Affairs, “O,” says he,
don't want to hear that—-the people are not inter
ested in National Affairs, we want to hear some
thing about our domestic concerns”—And then,
when we turn round, merely for the purpose ofgrat
ilying him. he whirls quick upon his heel, and px
claims again, “O, hush—that’s for “Home Con
sumption; and, then, runs right into the affairs of
the Nation, by publishing upon the subject, a rig
mnrole offour long columns from the Clay Whig
Address!—Why, what can we make of such an
unconscionable creature!
We have told the Messenger how Mr. Coope
stands affected, not only in relation to Internal Im
provements ; but, also, how he stands affected in
relation to every other subject, upon Which the
Messenger has questioned us. Particularly ns re
gards Internal Improvements, upon which the
Messenger is mightily agitated, we told that print
that Mr. Cooper is sountl to the core; and, that
he will go as far as any man can, or will go, in a
wise, judicious and liberal support of our works of
Internal improvements, but, that, it was to be
distinctly understood, that Mr. Cooper is opposed
to that visionary, wasteful, and party-mischief
working jK)Iicy, which makes appropriations with
out furnishing means to meet them Such policy,
we said and still say, (notwithstanding it t>recog
nized as a leading feature in Clay tactics,) will be
utterly repudiated, not only by Mr. Cooper, but
by ALL OUR CANDIDATES, who, we can
conscientiously say, are true friends to a wise and
judicious system of Interna! Improvements.
The true motive of-the Messenger’s great solici
tude, however, is not so easily masked as he ima
gines—it is to screen the opposi.im of Mr. Craw
ford and Mr. Stephens to works of improvement in
Middle and South Western Georgia—but the peo
ple well know, that both Mr. Crawford and Mr.
Stephens five directly’upon the Georgia Rail Road
track, and that they are, one at least of them,
large Stockholders in that company; atid, as far
as we know, neither of them has the slightest in
terest, either in the Monroe or Central Rail Roads.
Where th?ir treasure is, there is their hearts also—
and neither Middle, ot. South Western Georgia
can expect any favors front Mr. .Crawford or Mr.
Stephens, for the very simple anti natural reason,
that their interests lies in quite adijfsrcnt direction.
Ills useless forthc Messenger any longer to at
tempt to mystify or sophisticate the question—the
people ar'e neither blind nor stupid, as some of his
writers would induce him to believe.
Destruction of the Rail Road IS ridge—Incendiarism.

Repudiation—tlr, Slrpticus—or, the way
which the people wus cheated.
A writer in the Dahlonega Times, declares, that
H. Stephens said, in the last Senate of this
State, tl;nt he “wnsopposed to any legislative action
whatever, calculated to appreciate, or to redeem
the circculation of the Central Bank,” and that he,
the said A. H. Stephens, “protested against the
opinion entertained by lhe Legislature, that] the
State of Georgia was, in any wise, bound for the
redemption of the bills of the Central Bank”—or,
in other words, that it was right that the people
should be compelled to receive them at any sacri
fice whatever.
If this is not going repudiation with a rush, we
do not know what repudiation is.
From the Athens Banner.
A correspondent assures us, that Mr. Stephens’
e(flirts have done no harm in his sec ion of country.
On the contrary, we are informed that “the gable
end of Georgia” will do its duty, arid fully sustain
the Democratic party and its candidates. In Mur
ray, where much was hoped from our disaffection,
we hear that our friends are rallying; and tliat
Col. Bishop, whose great influence is well known,
anti who the Whigs have been industriously re
porting to have turned against us, “has come out
strong Cooper man.” In Chattooga we are !
thoroughly organized, where our friend says, “we
have in :he field the strongest men we have, and
they running untrammelled.” From Lumpkin
we hear by another souice, that not only the Dem
ocrats, but a large portion of the Whigs, will sup
port Cooper; and indeed we have no reason to
doubt that the noriliern |>ortion of the Slate will .no
bly vindicate their ancient fame in the coming

Mr. Crawford has visited almost every county
in the Cherokee Circuit, and Mr. Stephens is still
in this country, he has been met at every point by
the advocates of the principles of Democracy, and
in open, fair anil manly discussion, otir principles
will not, and cannot suffer. Our speakers may be
traduced and misrepresented by hireling organs,
but the people themselves, will lake this matter
into their own hands. .Republican Georgia, cannot

Mr. Editor:—This lias been a glorious day
for the cause of Democracy in this county. Mr.
Stephens’ performance was announced bv post
bills, posted up all over the country; anti tinder it
might lie seen the querv, in pencil—“ Who will an
swer h'ui?" Never did the AVhigs anticipate a
greater victory, and never were they more disap
pointed. Col. Lumpkin did himself much credit
and acquitted himself to the satisfaction of his
friends. When we consider Mr. Sternens’ tal
ents, and especially his superiority in this kind of
discussion, those of Ids friends who know hint,
would attribute it to party prejudice w^re we tossy
that he was signally defeated; but we cannot con
sent to say less, than that he made nothing ofl'of
is opponent, and that his trip to Chattooga—the
great preparation made for his reception—und his
great effort—were all lost labor.
We are honored by the presence of the Hon.
George IV. Craicford. He. however, did not
speak, and does not intend to tlo so. His object is
simply to let us up country people see a man from
the city, and shake hands with the people. Indeed,
lie seemed all day, to be the “ lessor light,-” and to
play “second fiddle.” Mr. Stephens was evi-
lenf y the lion of the day with the whigs.
From Dahlonega too, the last TVmrs ftirnishes
us with the following gratifying assurances:
Cheering Neics—Several Whigs in this county
have publicly declared their intention to vote for
Crawford and Stephens.
The Pioneer contradicts the assertion of a corres
pondent in the Chronicle & Sentinel anil says-the
Democrats are firm and united in that county.
The Whigs frequently heat us bragging, hut out
iting is not so easily performed, particularly
hen they have to carry the tariff. The people in
is country are opposed to a tariff, anti we amici
ue a noble triumph in testing our principles on
lie tnriffquestion.
And last of all, the appended extracts from a
letter, published in the last Cnssville Pioneer, to-
ether with the subsequent article from the Alli
ens Banner, make “assurance douhtly sure” that
the Clay candidates have labored in vain to im
press upon the minds of the people their mischiev
ous and anti-republican doctrines:
We receivetl the following letterju«t as our pa
per was going to press,,and give it an early insor-
tion, to support ourselves in the remarks we have
made, as to what Cherokee can and will do in the
ensuing election.
Spring Place, Sept. 6, 1843.
Messrs. Editors.—Yesterday was a proud
day for the Democracy of Murray, nnd I may add,
for the few Whigs scattered here and there also.
Their champion, Mr. Stephens, after reposing
here a day or two from previous toils, and accor
ding to notice, addressed a goodly number of the
cilizensofear country. The debates were regula
ted ns ibose at Cassville, and Mr. Stephens in his
first address, displayed considerable powers ofOr-
atory, hut little of argument or principle. Otir
friend Stiles, (witIt whom bv the bye, we are
much pleased,) in his answer opened the war in
good earnest, and whatever may have been won nr
lost in anv previous contest, was certainlv on this
occasion at leas:, equal to his antagonist, and a lit
tle more.
That Mr. Stephens feh much chagrined and
mortified at the conclusion, I think will not he de
nied by his best friends. It is due to I lie gentle
men* engaged in debate, that the utmost courtesy
prevailed throughout, and tliat the people dispers
ed ingtxid order. I cannot close without expres
ing to our friend Stiles, the warmest thanks, as I
believe, of lhe entire body of our Democralic
friends present, for the able, fearless, and indepen
dent manner in which be advocated their princi
ples—principles which will be ever dear to free
men.
