r luive power—without abusing it to] K'inest of all purpose--—the gratifi j nofaa insatiable appetite forgoltl ! {former desires no exclusive advau n a! iil benefits; tiiev ask only lor equi l, Government —the latter, lbes to itn ,j a l legislation, rally in support of that j IL . r iinient only, which enables them to brethren. It is the policy of the to defend the Constitution ofthecoun- S iul the freedom of the people—it is imlicy of the other to destroy both.and apport their own partizans, forming a jaritv in Congress, in the mal-adminis- j [ion of Government. The war is a lebetween virtuous intelligence on the! e haiul, and brutal selfisliness on the ! ier —intelligence that desires no ‘farce’ settle right, -but argument" —and bru itytliat feels “no argument bic force.” iat are their respective aims anil ob -3? It is the purpose of the one to jaiain our Government in its original jtv, simplicity, and economy ; and to i the fairest sections of our common ■try from the most cold blooded op aio:i which ever blighted the pros- Hi.ifa free and virtuous people—whilst ijc.v and debasing aim of the other is ratification of sectional envy—the e of “tilth v lucre” and the hope of por pi aggrandizement Aggrandizement j'iay! U hat can aggrandize a peo sunk so low in selfishness ! They v indeed enlarge their bloated collars the p rquisits ofoffice, but no titles can nilV mercenary meanness, and nohon ] ennoble \ ulgarily of soul. Such being honest convictions and feeling, how 1 1 be otherwise than strongly attached the cause of the southern people, and i, rut I feel otherwise than as strongly jr,o to their enemies. As 1 love the 1 hate the other; and my feelings to re cithdrcan neverehange, until there a change in their respective princi ; aad views. My fellow-citizens link not h the foes of y»ur Stale. They say lint unrighteuiis exactions of the Tariff lute moauy tliey and nnandod —shall be if not peaceably, it shall be wrested the three of arms. Who will aid them he unholy cause ? Is there one in this 'T.ibiy-is theie up apostate in tiie whole iu of Georgia, among her native or >p:ed sons, who would, armed and i; i fall in the ranks of an invading iv against the land he makes his home, I v the tinlihllowed purpose of extort n Ids own brethren, that which he i.'.SuiiJ admits, is unjustly demanded q here be in the sound of my voice such t • ..J-;1 partisan, let him speak, that] »*? by the avowal of Ins malice and ; ..cry, gibbet himself an object of ab-1 ;< e, and execration to the present] raion, and if doomed to live in histo- j ;> survive there only to stink in the J a.rci posterity.

However cii- ‘ . .ve may bo in many particulars, we i aniteJ in the determination to pro- ] ■c the rights of our State from lawless! • M lien the great question has to ] r. ..v.-.r tliertho Government shall be to enforce unconstitutional Ic- •' r. acv military despotism—when an iyri .fi be actually arrayed for the. ];- i purpose of collecting tribute tin- i iiy imposed, then will it be found that R '.ra ready to join in the unnatural 1 stile—the arm of every citizen will-be rca ftp, and none against flic State.. not the result,—-there breathes apt 1 :: ' 5 earth who could have the soul K -‘ ; t cause, to turn his weapon against; T*’ t» of in's brother.

My friends there is ,]] 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 ; the diaddm that throws undying lustre ; over tii- history of ins life—it has won the gratitude and of the living gon ! e ration. “ Ant! after Jeaih will leave liis lofiy name, 1 A liglit and landmark on tlieoiiffit of fame.” In conch -ion, pel tint me to oiler the fo!- i Imvitir sentiment. — i A sjit-rdy extinction of t!ir* patricidal, influence ! that depraves the pi op'.c nf Georgia from brethren ; inlo embittered opponents, and degrades them from patriot i into partisans.

Milledgovilte, July Oil, 18,'fd. 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.
