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 wis dom of man, in my humble opinion, cannot at this time, devise a plan by which the credit of paper money would be long supported. “ An evil equally great is the door it imme diately opens for speculations; by which the least designing, and perhaps most valuable portion of the community are preyed upon by the more knowing nnd crafty speculators. 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.

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.

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.

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 icli is not true. gret, w e have recently observed seV i„ tutes from Editorial Etiquette, on th e j our neighbor—departures too, of a terv ; a triumph, which will makeout opponents trenible I grant character,strongly tei dino > tod*-s>n,v when it comes.

Let Walker county and Murray ami a few other counties but unite on thpir candidates and all will lie well—we.will give in Democratic Cher okee a majority for Cooper and Stark of four thou sand votes.

Crawford and Stephens: From the Republican Sentinel. Summerville, Ga., Aug. 23, 1843. 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. puUc of her nolle Wh»g heart: ‘ Well, acJ,’ said she, clasping her hands as she rose tolejre the giound, ‘iliy goodness gracious!
