,]] nc to secure the blessings of
I ■ a3d that r. never to suffer them to
bo threatened without giving to the llireat
indignant repulsion ; and never actually
invaded without prompt & eilicieut resist
ance. Do y6u enquire what is the remedy
for existing evils, and what the security j
against future wrongs ? I answer your'
security rests with yourselves. Where
else but to yourselves would you look for
protection 1 Would you look to Con
gress ! that is the source of your grievan
ces. Would you look to the Chief Execu
tive ?—his sword is suspended over vour
necks to fall with vengeance whenever
you grow restive under the burthens im
posed by Congress—Would you look to
the Supreme Court ? That fs the tribu
nal whose decrees would rob you of your
soil, and erect within the limits of your
State, upon your own territory, a separate
and independent empire. Where then
will you turn for protection, but to your
own State. She is your natural and com
stitutional protector—it is her right and
duty to extend redress and security to all
her citizens whose life, liberty or property
is invaded or menaced. Deny tiiis, and
you are divested at once of every safety,
and must content yourselves to hold your
rights by no other tenure than the mercy
of your oppressors. Seeing this, iet us
•stand by the rights of the St; tes ; let us
never surrender their reserved and undelc
gnted powers, but cling to them as our
sheet anchor—amongst which, the most
essential to liberty is the right to protect
their citizens against the wrongs and out
rages of any other power. With the tri-
I uniph of this principle is identified the hap
piness and security us the American peo
ple—the triumph of the antagonist doctrine,
1 xvill convert our Government intoacon
j solidated Empire, and bring upon large
j masses of the peop’e, grinding-oppression
and debasing survitnde. If tbis.be true—
i if h'tate Rights be the conservative princi
j pie of freedom in ibis country, how all im
portant is it then, that the southern people
rally to their defence like a band of broth
ers, undismayed by the number of their
enemies, and unintimidated by their threats,
relying for the redemption of their rights'
and redress of their wrongs upon the
justice of their cause and God their buck
ler. Let no private tends divide them—
let no schemes of petty • cngeanceor ambi
tion seduce them from the path of duty;
but let their conduct be in accordance with
their motto; and their motto “ God and
cur country.” If ever there was a time
when the whole South should be unite ,
now is that time. Our strength is daily
diminishing because of our unhappy and
uhnnlursl divisions. Ambition, hatred,
malice, private feuds have all conspired to
distract and weaken us. Influenced by
such like baleful passions, some of our
strongest friends have suddenly become]
our bitterest foes. Let the apostates go.,
If their course have been dictated by wor
thy motives tiiev will have the consolation
of a quiet conscience, which defies assault;
but if they have been actuated by any of
those motives assigned to them by the
public—or rather by that portion of the
public whose interest they forsook—then ]
may they be disappointed in their hopes,;
and Kite the bilked harlot loose the reward
of their wretched prostitution. It not u»-
frequently happens that treachery is paid I
in its own coin and the traitor in turn is]
flattered and betrayed. May such be;
the destiny of every deserter of the cause |
of freedom and betrayer of the rights of
the people. Looking my fellow-citizens ]
upon consolidation Us fraught with ruin
and destruction to the fair fabric of liber
ty ; and filly satisfied as lam in rnyj
own mind, that all the blessings, hereto
fore flowing from our free institutions]
vviil he swallowed no-in this all devouring]
whirlpool unless the Southern people,"ov i
virtuous energy and- unanimity of action,'
succeed in restoring the State right prin-j
pies—permit me to conclude my desulto-i
ry observations, with a just compliment;
to the exalted virtues of him'who xvasi
first to disentomb those doctrines, and give ]
to them their wonted and natural efneien-i
cv since the days of Thomas' 'Jefferson. I
allude to George M. Troup. A gifted
and devoted patriot,called to ths executive
chair of Georgia at a period \tiicn her af
fairs required the energies of a virtuous and
powerful mind, he never lest her an honor,
or surrendered a i iglit for the want of wis
dom to discern or firmness to -maintain
them, lie stood against the influx of u
surpaticn firm and unshaken, and the tide
r died back as the waves of the ocean re--
i'.oil w.V.ii shivered on a modirtain of ada
mant. Resistance to oppression runs
like a stream of fire through all his wri
tings; and war, open war—ceaseless and
implacable against the exercise of undel
egated power, is the all pervading spirit
of his glorious administrations.—lt is
that .spirit which lias saved our
Government from the Maicstrom of con
solidation—it has lit, up the ardour of a
housand patriots—it I;as fired the whole
' outlicrn people to the assertion of their
richts. It is the bri: ht r of! is glory ;

We have received a pamphlet from Aug stn.with
the signature of “ Richmond” attacked to it enti.
tied, ‘ Reasons why the Proceedings of tlie Conven.
tion ought not to be latilied.” From the cursory
perusal, no have only had time to bestow upon it,
we were much gratified. I:s premises are correct ;
its argument lurid, sor.ud, and effective, and its
conclusions logical. We commend it to the peru.
sal of the people.or Georgia.
I
The President and tho Potowatomic, liave lately
much attracted the wonder and' attention of our'j
Northern brethren. At N. A'ork, (it is hinted by
one of the Washington papers,) those who have !
acted as managers in showing off the President to
his ardent c-J sincere friend* and supporters ofl
the Jvorth, sudd -niv opened their eyes to the pre-l
sumption of the Indian King, in traVelfinr the same j
rou*« with tho American President. The firmament
dors not hold two suns neither should the Empire i
State exhibit her vast resources, in tho way of
raocr.sstoNs, r.u: cants, and rAßLoachairs, to do ho.
nor to two military cm' ft ins. \\ e hr.v* not de
ia.!||d any of the interesting events and imi-ortant
occußßEiiccs that bsfel our cocgmoiTve government
on this extraordinary journey. Its object, by the
hy, has sadly puzzled sundry of our brethren
quiil. Sonic have seen a terr.hfe plot in the pro.
. jeciagpf thr matter, to over-heat the President by
: the iiitgue in receiving the honors paid him and!
i kill him off with a- rai-oiit of- cold water ! Others '
more acute have discovered that its aim and inter.;
eat is. to buy “golden opinions” <?f the people, to |
add to his popularity—in [mercantile phrase, to in-;
; crease his intended successor, will need all its in. j
terest. There is another class, who boast per- i
haps, of their more accurate information that de. i
ctare aii this ‘pomp and pageantry’ is the precursor ]
oi a matrimonial ‘finis’ to the matter : the herald of I
; the approach ol" tlie Bridegroom, after the fashion j
us Eastern Prince*. Now, we always thought that
Gen’i Jackson was remarkable for bis stern Re pub- 1
| Lean simplicity ; and we are inclined to consider j
j this latter insinuation, “ as a woak invention of the ]
j erfemy”—as a sheer fabrication invented for tarty
' iurtcseb, and intended for roLincAt Inzer ! Me
have an idea, as Pvron saya of Junius—
J “ An hypothesis, *:is quite our own,”
! concerning the true raiMUM mobile of tho President’s
tour; and that is—but we will whisper it, reader, in
j your ear, iu confidence. The motives of great men
will not bear much probing.
FOR THE GEORGIA TIMES.
BANKS.
; • Render nnto Coesar tlie things that are Cesar’s.’
I Coriect information concerning tiie Statu I
,of our Banking Institutions, at tins particu
lar juncture, is a matter of no trivial impor
j tancc to tho public; since it will have the ef
j feet of ensuring public confidence in such of
I them r.s deserve it, w hile such as tnay have a
factituvus credit arising either from a miscon
ception of tiieir charters or their supposed
healthy condition, will he placed upon their
proper footing; It is not intended to affirm
that any of oar Banks now in credit, are un
worthy of public confidence, hut it is intend
ed to shew, that while some of them are not
only solvent, by the cash means at their com
mand, as exhibited by their returns to tlie Go
vernor; but hv the guards and securities
thrown around them by tiieir respective char
ters, their solvency is placed upon a secure
and stable foundation. It is intended alsc.
to show Ilia* those Banks whose condition is
now good, not having these guards and secu
rities, are more liable lothe vicmiiudcs of all
Banking institutions, because they are not
controled by the wholesome checks and re
straints, which are imposed upon those first
named, and consequently afford less security
lothe bill-holder.
Taking then the returns of the several
Banks for our data, with occasional reference!
to their respective charters it is proposed to]
pres nt a succinct and compendious view ol j
each Hank deriving its charter from the State, i
Confining ourselves to the amount of hills '
which each has in circulation, and the means j
in speeie, specie funds and bills of exchange
running to maturity, we shall, without diffi
culty, arrive at the ability of each" to redeem j
tiieir paper in circulation. The other assets j
of the Banks ate put out of view, as affording ]
no certain means, in a moment of pressure. ]
Pursuing the order in the official publica-!
tion of the Governor, we commence with
The Bank or Hawklnsvii-l*.
The amount of bills in circulation is $170,820
It has in specie ami spectp funds, in
cluding amount due from other
Banks, $98,020
Bills of exchange running

The foregoing exhibits wliat tnay be term
ed tlie cash condition of tiie Banks as well on
tne debit as on tiie credit au(J a.though
in three instances the balance sheet cxtiib
[ its a larger debit than credit, yet .be d.li'er
ence is so trifling, it should not opt rate tocre
t ate any distrust. Having thus disposed of
! the respective reports, it is proposed to look
! into tiie several charters—with the view to
ascertain the liability of the directors and
j stockholders.
! There is lo be found in the charters of tho
1 Bark of lluwkitmville, the Insurance Bank
!of Columbus, the Bank of Columbus, tlie
i Farmers Bank of Chatalioochie, the Corn
-1 inercial Bank of Macon, the Marine and Fire
Insurance Bank of Savannah, Ihe Bank of
' Darien and tlie .Mechanics Bank of Augusta,
a provision by which the persons and proper
ty of each stockholder are pledged and bound,
; to the extent of the interesl of each, for tho
] redemption o£ the bills of the respective
! banks. In addition to this provision in the
charter of the Insurance Bank of Columbus,
] there is another provision, hy w hich all the
pro/ierty of each stockholder is pledged and
hound for the debits of the Bank without re
gard to the extent of the interest of such
stockholders in the stock of the bank. The ;
cliarterof the Bank of Darien contains a pro- i
vision by which the state is pledged for the
redemption of the bills of the Bank to tho 1
extent of its interest in said institution. The
State owns 0000 Sliares of the stock.
There are no provisions to he found in the ,
charters either of the Augusta Insurance
Banking Company, the Bank of Augusta, the
Planters Bank of Georgia, at Savanr.ah, or
the Bank of the State of Georgia by which ,
the stockholders and individuals hound for
the redemption of the bills, either in person 1
or property ; hut the charters of these hanks
each, contain a provision, making the direc
tors for the time bsing, responsible for any
excess of issue over and above three times tha •
amount of capital of the bank.
The above faets have been collated sos tho »
purpose of t nahlirig vour readers, at a glance, -
lo understand the condition of those Banks, (
whose bills form the circulating medium of
the St .te. If the above purpose shall t,e ca- |
I table of being attained hy the publication
of this article, the labor of the writer will
