Nor ran the General Govern- mJn assess a tax upon all .he Stales for one member of 'STnnforlerocv. The exercise of such a power would Sf,n unwarrantable usurpation. To illustrate the working of ti»» policy-one State owes one million and Sof dollars, which she is able to pay; another owes "l-Jv millions of dollar.. The latter Mate finds it in- Mnrenient to discharge l.er own obligations, hut wishes »raise a revenue froth the people of the former and ^ States for the purpose. This she cannot do. She oanot apply to Congress to tax the people of the other „!,!) pav tlie revenue into her own Treasury for w benefit. This would he too palpable an outrage. v„,i„„ is the outrage of asking an assumption of her Uh! hv the General Government. When assumed, the Ut of the single State becomes the debt of the Gon- j Government; nnd the other States in common with wolf, are. to pnv it. If it is paid froni sales of public S, it is so much drawn from the Treasury, which fi'iouVii be applied to the legitimate purposes of the Got- cement, and its place must b« .implied by taxation. The embarrassment under which the people have Ja- betr,lfor years past, arc gradually yielding to their e- roiwmv and onterprizc; and it is a matter of grntnlation ,„ 8 i| that while few onlv have been reduced to poverty soHroin bv the ir.ovitable decrees of the times, so many hve mot difficulties and surmounted them, which in their approach seemed irresistible. No subject is more worth v of the profound consideration ol the faithful rep resentatives of the people, than the histpry of the times tlimtieh which the country’ has lately passed, the evils silicli'llie people have endured, nnd the metis it res neces ,,r>- io prevent their recurrence. In some sections of iht* Siato, serious apprehensions were entertained that ,1„ people would resist the enforcement of the laws, and anneal* were made to the Exeeu'ive which induced the adoption of precautionary measures to prevent such a Mtiwtmphe. or, in the event of its occurrence, to sop- pert (he officers oflhe law in the execution of their du ll,,,. This stale of things was not produced by n want of confidence in oar admirable government, nor was it the result of a want of respect for ministers of the law; Ut it was the consequence of that deep and_ hopeless li-spu’r which the prospect of unavoidable min, by the shameful sacrifice of property, brought upon a whole community. Specie was demanded at Sheriff s sales, which neither tlie debtor, nor persons desirous of pur chasing at the sales, could procure on account of the suspension hv the bank. Bank notes, issued under the satlioritv of law. were inconvertible into specie, and the creditor could not be forced by the law to receive in pay ment of his debt, the currency which the law had au thorized to be circulated among the people, and which debtors fiail received for the products of their labor to meet demands against them. Any policy which subjects the citizen to this oppression, is established in error and ou-ht to fie abandoned. Perhaps the difficulty is in our political organization. But in a complex system like ours, when political power ia distributed be.twcen two Governments, to be exercised for the benefit ol the same people, but each independent of the other, the one more particularly superintending nnd governing in regard to lotorasts that pertain to several rotates embraced as a shale, the other acting for its own particular community orState, enacting all laws for the protection, and enforcc- ra.’iit of civil rights, great consideration should be paid to the line of demarcation which separates the powers of tin one from the other. Their respective powers are •a wisely and justly apportioned,and precisely arranged nnd designated, that there can be no apology much Jess necessity for the encroachment of the one upon the oth- rr. Their harmonious action, within their respective iphrres, with an eye sjngle to the interest of those who o,'Joined both, would no doubt, do much towards accom plishing the great Johjectof human government, nnd mil- i;v:c the evils, to which allusion has been made, if not wholly prevent them. Or tho Governments to which we arc subject, it is scarcely uecessary to remark that the ene is made up of grants of powers from the people, which it cannot transcend, while an undefined discretion pertains to the other, except as restricted by written constitution?. To these restrictions upon the State Gov ernments. great regard should he p8io by the Represen* tuivea of the people. Otherwise, the people tnay he inrolved in difficulties fiom which no legislation can ex tricate them, anil in which ease they must sillier from mischievous measures, irretrievable wrongs. The States •re prohibited from making any thing but gold or silver eoin a legal tender in pavment of debts. A policy, therefore, whoso tendency is to keep out of the hnnds of tho people gold and silver coin which alone can be made * constitutional tender, and substituting paper therefor, which no Legislation enn make legal tender, is iniquit ous and oppressive. Its wrongs have been felt by thous ands in times through which we have passed, and its ef fects linvc shown themselves in popular discontents, ond the utter destruction of confidence among citizens of the same community. The dangers which threatened to disturb tha harmony of the State to which reference has been mad.-, afford evidence of tlie difficulties to which unjust measures mny lead, and are a warning to rulers •gainst their udoption. ... . , The States being prohibited from enacting laws im- pairing the obligation of contracts, have not power by retrospective legislation, lo extend for the debtor the day of payment, and in Ibis way to mitigate the effects n t placing paper money in his hands instead of coin.— Some of the States have endcled laws which have been lung in operation, and therefore avoid the constitutional objections which always attaches to rctro-aclive legisla tion. I would recommend the enactment of a similar •Ulute hare, which would be applicable to future cases, unless tlie policy is abandoned which plnces the desti nies of the people in the hands of moneyed corpora tans. The whole evil mav he prevented by conforming onr legislation to the federal constitution, which not only prohibits the States from making any thing hut gold or rilvercoin a legal tender in paym- at of debts, or pnsstng •law impairing the obligation of contracts, hut also from emitting hills of .credit. It would reem that if the two first prohibition » ere proper, the last was necessa ry to prevent consequences pernicious nnd oppressive (a the people \\ hicn would flow from the exercise of •uch power. Tha great object of the framers of the con stitution, in introducing this restriction, appears to have been the suppression of paper money, and to save the people from the losses which always ensue, to a greater or less extent, from the nse of such a currency. Paper money is subject to the same casualties, nnd the people are subjected to the same injuries by its use, whether is- *aed by the Government, corporations or individuals.— It is but paper money, and its redemption depends onthe public, corporate or individual ability and faith. The first ought to be held as reliable, perhaps more so, than either of tho two last. Yet it has been ahsurd|y held, Mid established upon the highest judicial authority, that a State mav grimt a power to others .which it is not at liberty to exercise itself. In this way the wholesome prohibition of the constitution is stripped of its efficacy, and the door is opened wide to the evil which it was the object to suppress. One of the members of the federal convention who moved the prohibition and who must b«ve well understood his own purpose, remarked that that was a favorable time for crushing paper money. If, •aid he, “ the consent of the legislature would authorize •missions of it, the friends of paper money would make every exertion to get into the legislature in order to li cence it." This was prophetic, and since the prohibi- Jien has been rendered worse than useless by unjustifia ble constructions, how remarkably has the prediction been fulfilled. The friends of paper money, the ore- tended champions of the great commercial interest, have •hown their extraordinary influence hy vanquishing this institutional restriction; but the wisdom of the prohi- bition has been manifested by the pernicious effects *“irh have followed the victory. _ The remarks in reference to paper issues by the Banks “riving their charters from the State Legislatures, np- P|y with equnl force to the notes of a Bank of the Uni- •“Statss, with this additional objection—that the latter ?m,in no manner, he subjected to the control of the “tate authorities. No matter what the abose-of its cor porate franehise, by a Bank of the United States, it is * r raspotisihle to them. The great political influence •hich such an institution is able to exert, should be an objection to ita incorporation by every citizen who is op- Poasdto tho subjection of tho Government to moneyed ‘anirol.

But the great objections j As a means of its completion, we should mainly look to the tod Bank of the United States, on the score of expedi- i resuscitation and employment of State credit.

Tha wisdom of public measures depends on the purity and-intelligence of the Representatives of the pcoplo. If they are corrupt, the rights of the people will be disregarded, and legislation directed to selfish ends. Tlie Government oughtnever, therefore, to estab lish as an auxiliary to its operations, an institution with whose existence are necessarily blended the means of corruption and abuse. That it mat/ not be prostituted lo vile purposes, is no argument in its fnvor. That it can be, should he argument enough against it. It cannot lie forgotten, that the late National Bank was charged with an agency in producing “ thecominercial embarrassment and distress” which a lew years since overspread the country, and have left their marks of deasolation every where; With having used its corporate power nnd means to coptrol the press, to interfere in politics and influence elections. A select committee was chosen by atie of the Houses of Congress, to enquire into these things and to investigate what abuses, corruptions or malprac tices had existed in the management of the Bank. ■ The obstructions thrown in the way of the investigation,by the Bank, which ultimately defeated it, amidst nssevu- rations of innocence and purity, are recorded in the ar chives of the nction. Great sensitiveness to the consti tutional rights of the citizens against searches, made the apology for resisting a scrutiny which most have developed the misdoings and abuses, which time forced to public view, notwithstanding the effort to conceal them undercoverof a State charter.- Had the vigorous measure of bringing before theffinrof the House the of fending and contemptuous directors, been adopted, as recommended hy the majority of the ccmmittee, and the investigation prosecuted, some of the disasters which fell on widows and orphans, whose entire funds had been invested in the stock, might have been averted. The labored and extraordinary defence of the Bank hy the minority of the committee, exhibits, in a strong light, the powerful influence it was capable of exerting. The "re port of that minority acknowledges the alarming princi ple that corruptions,abuses and malpractices in its man agement, were no violation of itschartc)-. 'This fearful admissiuifought tc excite the suspicions of all, and be get an universal opposition to an institution whose pro ceedings are to-be covered from scrutiny unoi, principles so adverse to public morality, popular rights nnd liber ty- To the grant of every charter is annexed a tacit ■ condition, that the persons incorporated will net with fi delity add honesty; and a breach of this implied condi tion is as much a violation of the charter as if the con dition had been expressed Besides, Congress had the unquestionable power to repeal the act of incorporation, and thus put an end to its existence. If a Bank char ter it to be considered a contract, Congress is subject to no restriction which disarms it of the power of annul ling it. The constitutional prohibition is to the States, not to Congress. This principle was practically assert ed, but the power abusively exercised, in a late case, by the Senate of the United States, in abrogating a con tract with its printet. If the power of repeal is itnqnes- • tionable, then either House of Congress had the right, without re%rring to the charter for the authority, to in quire into suspected abases, to ascertain whether the principles ot justice demanded the repeal, and so the committee might have maintained. This power of re peal, 1 admit, ought to be cautioiiaiv exercised, nnd never, where good faith has been observed and private rights might be aflected by it, unless individuals arc no tified before they commit tlicir interests, that a change of public pnlicv'might effect it. If legislators, opposed to the incorporation of a National Bank, were to protest against any act for the incorporation of one, and aver their intention to move a repeal, whenever the prospect of carrying it would justify the effort, none would have aright to complain. But a National Bank is not the only prominent meas ure of the Federal Government, influencing tho desti nies of the people, which attracts public attention, mid is entitled to yunr notice. A protective tariff, which collects around it other measures meriting general reprobation, is unjust" to the people of nil classes and every section of the country, except those who are engaged in manufactures. Every consumer is n contributor to a greater or less extent. A radical objection to the measure, is its opposition to the principles on wliich our Government is established—an association for mutual support nnd protection amongst ourselves, nnd for defence against wrongs irom others. An act of unequal legislation, is an assault upon this principle, anil inflicts an injustice upon those whom tho inequality effects. Protection of uny article of manu facture, can he justified on the ground alone that the pro tection is equally beneficial to all, afi when the object of protection is one that strengthens the national arm for the protection nnd defence of every interest. All are in tarosted in raising the nation above a depcmjpncc on for eign supplies for arms and mu.nitions of war,and indis pensable articles for the army, and all contribntinna for such filings nrc contributions in which every individual in our brand confederacy ia interested; hut when pro tection is asked for articles which are not of ihis prime neressitv, the injustice is demanded of forcing the agri culturalist and the mechanic to pay a consideration for which they can receive nocquivalent. Should the prin ciple rf protection he extended lo onr merchants, barris ters, physicians, clergymen, teachers—and though Inst, not lenst—our farmers, in all their varioua products, it would shock the c oramon sense of the whole communi ty. And yet I cannot sea that they are in any respect entitled to less favor from the Government than the man ufacturers. In this, the last address that I shall proba bly ever make to the representatives of the.people of Georgia, I embrace this solemn warning against the in sidious and destructive policy. The manufacturer can not complain of its abandonment- He has been aided by the Government, with palpable injustice to other in terests, through infancy and weakness, not only to sclf- atistaing strength, but to.great power. I have now, feliow-citizens, submitted to you such in formation in regard to the affairs of the State, as it is my constitutional duty to communicate, with the recommen dation of such mnasnres as, in my opinion, are demand ed hv file public good.

Experience has proved, that ia the administrative justice of every people, uniformity of decision is an essential ele ment. To suppose this result attaiuable under eleven judi catories, each having ajudge independent nnd final io his decisious, would be to auppose the exact similitude of so many minds. Nor is the difficulty removed by the sugges tion that die rule prescribed is the same to each. In mat ters other than of temporal concerns, we have seen discor dant ami hostile' opinions springing from a source a ternal nnd " unchangeably the same.” From the variety of the human mind, we may therefore expect upon most subjects coustam conflicts of opihions. until there is constituted some authoritative standard to which they may be referred and conformed. -« After the displacement of the regal and substitution of a Republican Government, the endowment of literary institu tions was among the earliest acts of our ancestors. When, t»o, at the close of the last century, our Constitution was re vised and amerided, we were solemnly appointed the con stitutional patrons oflctters. This example of the past, and this guaranty for the present and future, illustrate that the beginning was not to be the end—but rather as a continuing proclamation of this fundamental truth, that die safest and cheapest defence of Republics is to be found in their ear nest and unre'mitted exertions to promote and enlarge the blessings of educauon.

DAUGIKAL ADDRESS , OF GOVERNOR CRAWFORD. FcUou-Citiicns of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives: . Commencing ami ending our terms of public -ervire about die same time, we will, to some extent, be participants in the praise or blame of oar works. Probably your active duties will soon cease—mine mast continue.' A compliance with the last constitutional requirement, will be the fulfilment ofpublic expectation, by averting the necessity and expense of annual legislation. A rule of Gov- 'ernment, established foi a period longer than half of a cen tury, may not be supposed to he susceptible of a ready and rapid change. Apart from the inveteracy of custom, which ndneres with the force of individual habits, there will still be embarrassment in remodelling the details of the old, and accommodauug them to the note system. To accomplish these ends, will require a forecast at once minute add com- ^As^confederate, Georgia should yield compliance with federal authority, only tc the extentofher constitutional ob ligations. Her past history teaches the prudence and safe ty of thia limitation. But, as I believe, that the States have delegated to the Federal Gnveueroent, the ultimate power of regulating “ the times, places, and manner, of holding elections” for Representatives in Congress, and »s that pow er has, in part, been exercised, compliance with it, is only fidelity to a constitutional engagement. Jtis.moreovei, a measure, whose tendency is to> ensure to that branch of the federal legislature, organization nnd preservation; to place the representative in juxtaposition to his constituents, whereby he is presumed more certainly to know and reflect their wishes and wants, and to equalize, in some degree, power between die larger and smaller States : —and as the larger States have, from motives of conven ience or good faith, conformed to its reouirements, the smaller and recusant States have every inducement to do likewise. , . „ . , A people, whose industrial pursuits are chiefly confined to the production of a few great staples, so bulky and cum brous as not to permit an easy exchange for other commodi ties of general use and necessity, are peculiarly interested in a sound currency. As the representative and value ot their labor, if it be not equal to die established standard, to that extent will be their lots. Whatever, therefore, depreciated or vicious in our circulating medium, should be eflectualiy corrected or legally suppressed. On this subject, the people of these States have been taught, by expedients and experiments, the safety ef adher ing to a tried and approved system. A stern necessity—the result of a sad experience—admonishes them to abandon the pursuit of new and gilded schemes, and fall back into die ancient ways of the Republic. Tlie power of taxation should neither be timidly nor reck lessly used. Adopting as a basis, that the supply should be resti teted to the public want, and that this supply should be apportioned on the principle, that *• equality is equity,” we mav expect, that sooner #r later, popular approval will be added to tbe consolation of having performed our duty. A Government of choice is one to awaken pnde.—To this feeling, properly cherished, every patriotic oppeal may be successfully made—every emergency—every penl will be met with its oporopriate sacrifice. Let us then seek to collect, only that which is necessary to the public service, and confidently rely under the influence of tins feeling, that the supply “will be cheerfully granted : but let us seek not by the expedients of the day, to supply the wants of the morrow.

The cause of this sudden and unexpected improvement is pro bably best known to the dealers in the article. It is a mystery to us. Prices here, are now too high for any market under the sun, and unless the dai ly expected advices from Europe ate decidedly favorable, the market must droop and buyers lose money. This is admitted, yet notwithstanding all this, dealers meet the arrivals with activity, and purchase readily at going prices. We quote square bales 6£ a 7 cents; round bales, from J to £ less.

With the exception of some few elections, of an unimportant character, but little has yet been done by our Legislature. A good deal of work has been planned out, however, and several important ques tions started. » But our paper is so nearly engrossed by the Governor’s Message, that we have little room for the details of the early proceedings. The Message is as able a* it is lengthy, and is highly creditable to the cx-Govetnor. As his valedictory address to the people of Georgia, it will be gratefully cher ished by his friends. Hereafter, as our time and space admits, we may make some reflections on the different topics embraced in it. The new Governor was inaugurated on Wed nesday. His inaugural is a clever production e- nough—but, like all such productions, is intended for any other purpose than to define his precise position. Tt will be found in another column.

On reaching the House, this morning, the first object that attracted my attention, was the appear ance on tlie floor, of a handsome, middle-aged gen tleman, with spectacles, who seemed to be address ing himself with much earnestness to Mr. Speaker Jenkins. On approaching nearer, I learned that my friend of the spectacles, wa3 lamenting, in most dolorous accents, the inability of the Whigs to ac commodate with seats in the House; the crowd wliich assembled to witness the inauguration of the “ Lion of Whiggery." By way of removing the difficulty, the orator at length proposed, that the Speaker, Members, spectators, and all, should ad journ to some spot in the open air. As a precedent for this extraordinary course; he citfed the example of “ Old General Harrison.” The motion, how ever, was overruled, for the reason, that both bran ches of the Legislature had. pa#sed a Resolution, declaring that the inauguration should take place in the Hall of the House. The mover of the prop osition shrugged his shoulders in despair, and took his seat. Just think of it! The intelligence, worth and beauty of the country assembled on the cam pus, in tlie open air, to hear George W. Crawford deliver tbe harangue manufactured for the occasion! It was, indeed, a bright and ntost delicate idea. Tlie Speaker, at this jtinctute of affairs, rose, and very politely to!d his Whig friends in the gallery and lobby, that there were many ladies who wish ed an opportunity of witnessing the inauguration, and that he hoped their gallantry would prompt them at once to retire. But there they stood, and continued to stand, like so many fixtures, while the ladies (Heaven bless them!) had to shift for them selves. The inauguration of a Federal Whig Governor, was so rare and unexpected a spectacle in Georgia, that “ Whiggery” was bent on “seeing” it. The faithful disciples of Federalism, therefore, collect ed, from the high-lands and the low-lands—“some with rags—some with tags—and some with pud ding bags,” to see its Chief inducted into office. Precisely at 12 o’clock, the Governor elect, accom panied by his predecessor, entered the Hall, and seated themselves by the side of the Speaker and President of the Senate. In a few moments, he rose and commenced his inaugural speech; which was delivered in a very decent manner. He intro duced no new topic, as was expected; but simply marked our the line of policy which he expected his friends to pursue in the Legislature. When the Governor concluded his speech and took the oath, there was some cheering and some muskets fired off id the neighborhood. And thus went off the in auguration of the new Governor. But more here after. SPECTATOR. Georgia I.cgislntnrc. MILLEDGEVILLE, November 7. Bodi branches of the General Assembly convened yester day—tbe firat session under the amended Constitution.

MOBILE, Nov. 7. Evety tiling now seems to indicate the departure of di sease from our city. There has been but seven or eight in terments within die last three days—the weather has a ten- dancy to chilliness and rain, and doctors seem to be at lei sure—our apothecaries are not doing much—confidence is restored,and we anticipate very little more sickness during fne season. People are flocking to our city from all direc tions—and every five minutes walk brings us in contact with some friend who has long been absent, But is now returned. The steamboat arrivals from up the rivers are frequent— vesselsare arriving from Atlantic cities hourly—and altoge ther, at thia present time, we have a very good prospect be fore ua for a tolerably early and extensive business.—He rald* Statistics, recommended to the particular attention of the PEOPLE OF NEW ENGLAND. The Gve New England States have invested in manufac turing establishments eiglity-six millions eight hundred and seventy-four thousand two hundred and twenty-nine dollars —£30,374,223. Of this they have invested in Cotton manufactures thirty four millions nine hundred and thirty-one thousand three hundred and ninety-nine dollars—334.931,399. They have employed in these cotton manufactories forty- six thousand eight hundred and thirty- four of their People. —46,834. Now all the raw cotton which they manufacture, is produ ced in the Southern States and by slave labor. White labor cannot be extensively employed in that culture, and in the region of country most favorable to it. Even if white labor could be so employed, it would require a great many years to obtain as much ofit as the slaves now perform. Suppose, then, that slaves should be set free, or rendered of no value by the efforts of abolitionists, what will become of all these millions of capital, nnd how shall all these thou sands of New England People be employed 7—Madisoni an.
