I tie ackimv. Irdged talents anil pure iniegritv that has heretofore m u Led the public career of | both, ami tneir valuable and emcient services, j in times, which no Union man can readtiy forgot, alike forbid that, their respective friend.-, should p.t's sentence of ci.udcmuation against either, i unheard mid without n trial. The attempt to warp and prejudice pul.lie opinion, 1 y </ parte t publications is highly unjust, and it is’ sincerely I hoped that it will not Le persevered in, l v the 1 parties or their friend it they have become personal enemies, their . friends must know that an appeal to tiie press is wholly i::-.'fi 'cttial to obtain redri'.-.. A r.'sorl to the press serves only to fan the flame of pas sion, mid to widen the breach bet’Veen the par . ties Concerned, un i in the end, to wound the 1 body ol whom they are members. It cannot be the desire ol either of the t'entlenien coni'crncd, to inllict an injury 0:1 tiie i'liioit party, but it is I unavoidable, il they perse ere, for their friends will take sides, and it mav soon be too late to I regret the indulgence of hasty passions. But it is said, that the quarrel between these I gentlem.'U, is political—purely politic;.!. Low j it is political—between whom the issue should, I i t fact, be forme I —and by whom it istobe tried, I has not been shewn. 11 it is a political dispute between members of the < nion party, the Union party must, of course, have the matter in chmge, and under its j adjudication. Whim and where it shall be tried, : has not been stated, and is of course unknown; j but in November r.ext, in the town of Milledge ville, when the Representatives of the Union party shall lie there assembled, tin excellent op portunity will be presented Mr. “ Oconee” to prefer his charges of mail’easance. ifanv lie has, against Dr. Fort, and ibr Mr, “Henry” to bu heard in reply, The gentlemen themselves, (Dr. Fort, and Col, Cuthbert,) may then in “ propria persona be fully heard before their mutual friends, and ■ justice be awarded to each. Under tiie present aspect of this case, if con -1 tinned by the triends of both, or by the friends ol either, er parte, nothing can be ;iccot;;plis!i --| ed. it will receive the fate of all news paper ' quarrels: It will have begun in publications— continued in publications—and ended in the ' same, without a decision. It is lolly to suppose that such a controversy ;at tins, can be decided til the Ballot Box. ?vot 1 one man in fifty would give his vote in refer ; euce to this quarrel, nor even know or inquire j the real matter in issue, Siich is the aversion of I tite people against news paper publications of I this sort, that tlmy do not read them, but sicken ! ' and turn away from them in di gust, as attempts | J to enlist their prejudices and impose upon their • 1 judgments, j Do tii(? friends of these gentlemen desire that ' ! they shall each have justice ! Are they willing j that the Representatives of the Union Party | shall be their triers? If yea : let al! clamors— 'all publications—all invectives between them i sleep until the middle of November next. Cer i tainly they cannot object to t'ii:; course. It will, I in due time, give them justice; and, I think 1 i may predict, that it will also, restore litem to their former friendship and ■ -teem. M ill their friends adopt this course? It is sub- ■ milted in a spirit of mutual friendship and fra j tcrnal regard tor their welfare, i _ PERRY. P. S. The Fedcr.il Union will please publish the above, and oblige a friend and patron. I’. | FROM THE SOUTHERN BANNER. THE CEN BRAL BANK AND THE SUR PLUS REVENUE, Tim d •term’a.it’mn of Congress to distribute ■ .the surplus funds of the Government amongst I ■ the several States, seems to have presented a | serious question for the determination of the | people oi Georgia, Several modes h ive been ' suggested by which that portion to which we | are entitled, is to be disposed of; and among t tb.e number, tint of placing it in the Ccntr il Bank, to be loaned out to the people of’ the State upon the plan now governing loans of that institution. This recommendation appears 1 to have alarmed tiie fears of the editors of the ! ' Federal Union and oftlie Constitutionalist for I I the safety ol tiie liberty of the People. Bv 1 them tlio Centra! Bank is regarded as an engiim , whose rankings are likely to subvert the fottn | ilalions upon which our free <:nl litippv institu tions res*. Ali'.’gation is one thing and its proof I another. The charge made against that insli -1 tution and its management is one of uncommon ■ gravity, and slmuhl be sustained by miquestio;;- ■ Oil testimony. The in sition which these edi -1 tors have assumed impose upon them the d::tv l of sustaining ad their comprehensive char- I SC r’. I The Constitutional! t ha s ventured to give I one reason against distributing the mor.ev a- I mongst the people through tb.e Central Bank. J It is asserted that the establishment of tltis Bank ! has increased rather than diminished the pccun : iary embarrassment of the citizens of the State. I l’hc writer ol this article takes issue with the j Constitutionalist upon this declaration, and de nies its ability to sustain it by either evidence .or liberal reasoning. Upon the contrary it is j affirmed tout no institution lias ever been es j tablisiied by the (State that has diffused among ; the People so nimyaad important benefits, i In support of til’s, I point to the low rate of in ) terest, the unexampled prosperity acd affluence :of tiie people and the vary great exemption tromall pecuniary diificuliy.

I with mpial earnestness j appeal to 11m people to maintain and defend an j institution in which they have so deep an inter -1 c.;t.

An Eye Waler that has been in use lor nearly 10 years in tin’s country, and up- I wards of 20 years in England, where it was j first introduced by the celebrated Physician ■ whose name it bears ; and emanating from so j high a source, and from one too who had made ■ the art mid theory of Medicine his study for; years, and knew exactly how every article that enters into its composition would act, what el- f feet it would produce, and who in a private i practice second to none in England, had used i tiie article with iitiexamplcd success—and while • we are confident that it sprung from such a ■ source, need any fear of using it.
