From the Globe. UNMASKING OF MOTIVES. Mr. ( fohoiiii, in the elaborate paper of Att p':»r, IS'JI, fr >;n which we qiiotv:! yestcrd.iv, was i;nda tvoring to eifect a retreat from the precipicii of nnl'ification, to tenable ground. H» had reach l ! the point whence the next step forward was a leap from the Tarpeian rock; and with terror at the look below, Im- became •addenly “Amusf,’’and was content to take an honest stand, ii > absolved himself from all the run hr hid plotted, by sue enduring his project for overthrowing the tariff or the Government ' before the public debt was paid, for the follow- i ing simple, easy, “Acmes/,” and rational rem- ' edy: The honest and obvious course is, to prevent the atcutnulition ofthe surplus in the. Treasu- I ry, by a timely and judicious reduction of the] inposts: and thereby to leave the mony in the pockets of th osr who made it, and from whom it c-anno/ be honestly nor constitutionally taken, unless required, by the fair and legitimate wants of the Government. If, peglecting a disposition si obvious a id just, the G ivernment/shauld at- ' tempt to keep up th- present high duties, when the money was n i longer wanted, or to dispose of this immense surplus by enlargin'' the old, or, devising new, schemes of appropri itions; or finding that to be impossible, it should adopt the most dan serous, unconstitutional, and absurd project ever devised by any (jrorw.rnment: of di ■eidin r the surplus among the. States, (a project which, if carried into ci.ecu!ion, could not fad t> create an antagonist interest between the States and General Government, on all tpics tinns of appropriations, which would certainly end in reducing the latter to a mere office oj rslieetion and distribution,) eitherofthese modes W'uld be. cnisi lered by the s c.tion sutfrtring\ under the present h igh duties, as a fir'd d< ter mination to perpetuate, for ever what it consid ers the present unetpial, unconstitutional, anti oppressive burden lii tiiis slr. Calhoun put himself on *‘h< nest aid < institutional" ground. He insisted most justly that a surplus could neiilicr be honestly nor c insta ll,inn'll! y taken Irom the people, mid that a d'stribirion among th.. States was “/Ar most hiii 'erous, unconstitutional, and absurd project tvsr de dud by any Gonernmint, and coolnot j ill to create an antagonist interest between t! t e dc< and General Government." If it the uiusi rcinaikable passage in this honest paper, is tnat woicu di-r|., M . s |[ ie (110 |j vc whi< h npw makes him a zealot i n the ( tu/twi instead of reduction. Speaking of tlx: vons.-qacii e, of an accumulaiion of a surplus for a disirii union, lie displayshis lore-knowledge ed tne uffi'cts v.diieli he is now straining evert nerve to draw out of that very surplus, and uliir h ha also, butU few days ago, said he foresaw would be the lesult of liis compromise, bill. Vr’hal Im seek-., ti.rough his compromise, sur piua, a id d.slAbution, is explained by the fol iov/i.ig avows! of 1831: “ THE »l : 111* LI'S, (says, hl',) 111 AZ MID \OTHI.\G l\ S \YIXG, JI’DGING FROM I’HE X.VITRE OF MEN AXI) GOVERN MEXI, IF ONCE I’ERMITTED TO YO CUM I L \TE, WOULD CREATE AN IN TERES !’ STRONG ENOI CHI TO PER PETUATE ITSELF, SUPPORTED \S IT WOULD BE BY OTHERS,SO NUME ROUS AND POWERFUL." Ho begins the work of distribution, then, be cause, from his mode of pidgin- of men and Govermum»t,“ it would co mu-mh imco-st strong enough to p< rpel it ate itself! |” And what are those other interests, so numerous audpowerfe.l, which arc to ally themselves with the interest strong enough to perpetuate itself t Does not every public man see tli.it Mr. Calhoun alludes to the manufacturing interest ! This is to come in aid of the cupidity which is to Im generated by anmi.il disli ibiitimi, in the Slate Legislatures, and, tog.'itier with vast rail road comp.intes, slrelt hing in a belt from west to south, coupled with an i normous b inking power, is to triumph over the Immblei and divided and inert itilluun ces ot tne masses ol the commnniiv, who are borne to the earth with a load of taxation, with out perceiving the mode in which it is brought to beat upon them. That Mr. Callimm, when ho made his com promise with Clay fora share of the spoils, had resolvetl to enlist these “ other interests” in the grand manul'acttiring monopolies, to aid the di rect power ot dislribution to perpetuate the ta riff, is manifest from the fact, that at the mo ment when reduction was proclaimed as the ob ject, the tax ol fifty per cent, repealed the year betorc on coarse woollens, was restored by the compromise, before the repealing law had time to take effect. Next to a poll tax, wo consider this tax o coarse woollen the most ciuel, iniquitous and fraudulent imposition ev r levied on a people. It is literally a tax to make the poor poorer, and ther'.c'i richer. It was but a few days since we saw some notice of a rich woolen manufactur ing monopolist making primely donations to benevolent institutions. This worthy man shows, that he has a sense of the cruel extortion ol’the laws by which he is burdened with a stir plus. as well as the Treasury. But is it not monstrous, that every poor laborer in our country, when fencing against the incleiiicncy ol the season, should bo comnellctl to pav at lent FIVE DOLLARS ADDITIONAL‘PRICE FOR IHS WOOLLEN COAT, BREECH ES, AND BLANKET, MERELY .TO SWELL THE SURPLUS IN THE TREASURY, AND TO PAY THE MAN UFACTI RING JOINT STOCK COMPA NIES an EQUAL BOUNTY, TO ENLIST THEIR CO-OPERATION LN THE PER PETUATION OF THE SURPLUS-RAI SING POLICY? The curse of the tariff is, that in creating its accumulations, those who pay the tax which is first paid by the merchant into the custom house, and then charged at a higher rate for the advance in th.; price of the article, are not a ware <>f the tax they pay, in the cnliaiicfcinont of the price by the law. It it were levied directly on the garment, when on the person cf the wearer, a standing army could not enforce it. What man would endure to be taken by the button, by a tax collector, and told, " Sir, this coet ofvours, with the waistcoat and pantaloons, must have required three yards of doth, wortii twenty dollars. You mast pay fitly jper cent, adval.irem, as a tax to the Govnrun out. This is presisely ten dollars, and you must pay it to raise a sum for distribu.ion, according to the a. t of compromi e betweon Messrs. Clav and C«d --1 hmm, by whom it wasagieed that this tax tak ' enoffon the recommendation of President Jack i son should I e restorted.” Docs any man siq - • pose that such an imposition would be tolerated ’ by the people, if its indirect operation were thus i directly brought to bear in a n.o?« making man ifest its operation ? But if the secret and insidious extortion of ; the mansion-house is not understood nor severe ly felt by the wealthier classes—it' that portion engaged.in manufactures feel it as a bounty in stead of o burden—if', other rich men find their advantage in approprioting it to enhance their i real estate by internal improvements, and other I modes of appropriating the surplus in the Treas- I ary Io private einoluma. t—there is one class in whose “ looped and woudi rotis raggedncss” the cruelty and injustice of this lax is visible to the world, and keenly felt by t.'io poorvictims them selves, although they can, not trace their suf ferings to the Gover.inicni. which tliev are taught to bilieve protects them. There "in not one unfortunate laborer in this country who finds his w ages tm> scant to clothe him and bis family comf< rtably, who docs i-ot feel, in the bitter and biting frost of this inclement season, the heartless tyranny of the two cold-1 looded Senators-, who h ive compromised bis comfort to make a distribution of a portion ci’ his little earnings to feel their political schemes. ■ Strm&ntfi rf,9TttiOtt. ••The feirnds of the Union ace ouefriends,and its enemies, our enemies.” id. <.A..G,'V,.(j<i.?t v.L!' < j'jL>R O BJIIRSBAY 31OXNING, Jan. 12.

Nicholas Bill rile has bought out the Insurance Bank of Cob,minis, with the exception of a small portion of the Stock, and is about to as sume the command of that institution. 'This is the first open rtride, which the United States’ Bank has taken, to subjugate the South. Hitherto, its operations have been mainly confined to the North, the Las', ami the West ; bit failing in those qmirters, to secure an absolute control over public opinion, either by panics or bribes, it Inis boldly invaded the Southern section, for the purpose of reducing her stern de mocracy to miconditi'.nal submission, or to spread ruin and cmisicrnaiion among all those who will not bow down to its autlmri •y. This we consider the first grand move-' nient, in a new struggle, to obtain a charter from Congress. Ballled again, and again, by the firmness, the integrity, ami popular ity of General Jackson, (sustained as he has been by the virtue and patriotism ol the people,) the Bank abandoned all hope of success during his term of service, and has been, in the un an time, concentrating all its power, fur a renewed contest w ith his successor; ami the first great battle will the coining administration of Mr. Van Bu ren, will be waged by tile Bank.—Charters w ill be bought up in every Southern Slate w here they can be obtained—Branches will be established in the Cities am! Towns and w ith her immense means the currency cd* the States w ill be deranged—the Stale instilu 'mns will be pressed limit - customers necessarily laid under the whip, and the whole business of the country disorganized ; and she w ill not be wanting in instruments to execute her unhallow ed purpose. Her money wiH buy them, or her power will press them into the service. Our Banks may now look sharp, anil pre pare for the day of trial, for it will come. We say emphatically, to our Banks, •• If there's a hide in a' your coats, Wc rede yo tent it." The U. S. Bank has sounded her Bugle for the charge, her nt\ rmidons ate ready for the onset, ami when the war comes, let eve ry patriot’s arm be nerved for the conflict. Lei the people speak—let their legislators— their Execmive and Judiciary, speak one unanimous language of stern mihendintr hostility to a system not only calculated to <!o mischief in its most favorahle aspect, but manifestly intended to operate upon the minds and the interests of our citizens, and finally to work a complete revolution in pub lic sentiment, for the purpose of consutnin:.- ting its unholy ends. We should meet it at the threshold. Ev ery democrat should raise his voice ami lend liis hand, and we trust Georgia will repel the intrusion, as becomes I.er character and her principles. We maintain, first, that tinder the cons’i tution, the General Government has no right to i har'er a Bank.—2ndlv, that the power to incorporate such institutions, belongs ex clusively to the States; ami 3.11 y, that over this subject, each State possesses equal and nmlotibted sovereignly, within her charter ed limits ; which leads ns to the irresistnhl? vonchisioH, that no Bank, deriving its cor porate powers, from one State, can right fti'ly extend the exercise of them to another ; and that the attempt of Mr. Biddle amt his 1 associates, to extend their Banking opera tions to the State ofGeorgia, under the au i thorite of a charter from the State of Pcnn ! sylvania, is a PALPABLE INFRAC TION of STATE SOVEREIGNTY, and should be held and treated as such, by the people of Georgia, and their public au thorities. If w e mistake not, there is "a law in our Statute Book against private Bankiinr, and if Mr. Biddle should attempt to invade our rights in the premises, we trust that law will lie enforced again-t him. We are highly gratified at the course taken by the Federal Union and Southern Recor <lcr.—We publish them both to day. and re- > i-iiiiiim nd them t<? the serious consideration of every citizen. We hope every press in Georgia and throughout the whole country w ill speak the same la.igtiage, and that there may be one general cry, down with the mon itcr ! and huzza for STATE RIGHTS. In concltisioii, we deem it our duty to re mark, that this article is not intended to ap ply to the late stockholders of the Insurance Bank, who have so d out.—They had a perfect right to do so. Our business is with the purchasers. From the Federal Union. THE UNITED STATES’ BANK, AN INSID IDIOL’S INTRUDER. M e have derived infortuatioii from a source en titleii to lull credit, that the United States’ Bank has pmehased a very large majority of the stock ol tne Insurance Bank ol'Uohimbus ; and with the ownership, has. now the absolure control of that state institution, ft is known that the people of Georgia are opposed to this gigantic monied mo iK'poly. In 1.-41, their representatives, in general as. einbly, expressed their disapprobation of it, in the language of strong and imqualified condemna tion. Ami now this powei Inland ambitious insti tution, without asking the consent of the legisla- | tu.e, ami in defiance of public sentiment, endea- ' vers to establish itself in the state, by the purchase I ot a charter granted to a number of our citizens, if it had sought from the legislature, permission to cst.ibli»h alnamh. or to operate in any mam.ar in the slate, it would have received an indignant re- I fus.'il; i.ital it now attempts to accomplish, iusidi- ! otisiy, riiat which it could not openly have < dec- ' te<l. By circumvention it aims to overthrow the’ settled policy of the state. Does Nicholas Biddle I believe that the people of Georgia will he tram- ’ meled by the lorms ol his purchase of privileges, ; which they had determined that [he should not! po-sess wnhin our slate ? He trusts to the power I ol mon -y ; to those bribes, midcr the disguise of i loans, by which he has silenced opposition, and ; bought advocates in other places. Il wc leilect 011 the extreme caution with which ! bank charters are granted by the legislature, we! cannot tail to arrive at the conclusion, that this! purchase ot a bank charter is a fraud on the Ic- ' legislation <>f the state. \\ hen an application is made to establish a company w ilh banking privi leges, it is always necessary toconvinee the legis- i latiire. that the banking capital p oposed to l-.e ' embraced in the charter, is needed at the place at which it is intended to be located, and that the bulking powers granted will he used beneficially. And ilic capital is alwaysrestricted loan amount whit h it is believed will not give a dangerous pow er m the corporation. If this purchase by the I mted States’ Bank be permitted, all of these salutary precautions of the legislature will he de feated. If the Ihii'ed States’ Bank be allowed to ■me the charier w hich it has pm ehased, it is in vain that the legislature has specified in that char ter die amount ol bank capital to be employed under its provisions. Instead of this limited sum, the mammoth bank may employ at Columbus such part of its enormous capital, iis its ambition oriiiU'iest shall prescribe. Its unbound. <1 emi ts the wide range of its circulation, together with it, great capital, would enable itolose the operations of every other hank in Colutid .« . One of its ad- TII EST A N 11A III) OF UNI 0 N vantages would be a monopoly of the exchange ! business. Merchants wishing to make remittau- ' ces to New Y oik and ether distant places, would obtain drafts from this bank ; because in those distant places its emht would itt general be l etter than that ol any <>tl cr bank in Columbus. For ' these drafts it would be paid in the notes of the ; tlilleieiil banks ol the state ciiculatiug in that ci ty ; ami in this maimer wonkl it continually draw j in attd accumulate the notes <d those bunks.—To this operation there would be lu> coinitcipoise.

In the !qm rierly, or monthly, or weekly settlements which won,d be required, how would the state institutions he able to ledecm their notes —but by the payment ot their specie ! —Their gold and sil ver vould be constantly drained from them ; and in six mt.ntlis, prudence would compel them to contract their issues within such narrow limits, as to render their capital unprofitable. Every bank, which should be so rash as to attempt a profitable bus inert w here the United States’ Bank has gain ed a I' o;li< Id, would in a few months be wound "I 1 AA hat it be able te accomplish in Columbus, by the in-trumcntality <d' the Insurance Bank, w hose charter it has purchased, it would be able to iKCompli-h with equal facility and certainty, in Macon, .Milledgeville, and Augusta, ami Bavan nah, an I every otl or commercial town itt the state, by means ot branches of the insurance i Bank, which it could establish in those places. .It could [josirate every bank in the state.

Let it not be allowed an opportunity of i ettq toying the seductive, t'rc dangerous powers of I corrnpiion tvhieh it holds, to Lias the political I course ni Georgia. Lit the dangerous intiudcr ’ he expelled from our state. We believe that the ordinary judicial powersof , tile government, me stti’ieient to effect this object. The United States’Bank is a being not know n to the laws of Georgia. It is the creatine of a statute of Pennsylvania, ami has a legal existence in that state. U hen it attempts to extend itself into Georgia.it has wamleied from its proper sphere, in w l.irh alone it is possessed of a corporate char acter- It Jias lu re become an unauthorized asso ciation; ami its various officers have ceased to be the legal representatives of its nnmeiotisstocklnd ders, whether in any of the United States, or in France, or in England. By the courts ofGeor gia, the president mid directors of the United States' Bank, chartered by Pem s'. Ivanin, cannot be c onsit'ered ns having any legal rights ui this state. The individuals who me employed in the ; aclnal administration of the [;isa<'aitce Batik of ; Ct.intn'ms. ar - nothing mete than the agents of a i corporal on which has tt.i legal existent c in Geo - gia. am! w inch is therefore incapable of delegating any i gal powei sto those agents. According to he t u ■ mem ing of the charter, mid the indispnt; - t !e intenrien of the legislature, there are ni tiller legal stockholders.* nor legal officers to this bank that has been pttrehasec ; and the individuals who have been mlminislering its affairs since the sale, have no val:d authority for the exert ise of banking powers, it appears to us that a judicial proceed ing should lie in.titutcil by th• | roper au.horiiy. having tor its ultima: ■ oltjc ct the anuuliing of th s charter ; ami tor hv. i 11, by injunction, prohibiting | the e.xcrt ise ol backing powt is in the mime of this i bank, and under the j;rovi ions of this charter. b.'toubl I he.se judicial proceedings he thong I t in competent, or sluuld they fail to expel the in-itli oiisintrnth r, let other and more eUectivc measti es : be adopted wilhout delay, to save the banks oftl.e ! state from ruin, mid to preserve the peep e of i Georgia from the corrupting influence, mid t.ie de- I basing domination of the United States’ Batik. !

By the Coliintbus papers we are infonii-| ed that the Insurance Bank of Columbus has sold out to the old United States Bank charteretl by the State of Pennsylvania that the capital is increased to §600,000, and thal blanches are •<» be established at Macon, Augusta and Savannah. \Ve un derstand from other sources that the pre mium paid by Mr. Biddle to the stockhold ers, from this State institution, is one hun-! ttt'i-<1 lltonsantl dollars. T.tis may truly be called speculating on ; the State with a venganc<. VVe bad sup posed that there were abundant objects of speculation ofl’ering on every hand ; indeed that one could hardly go amiss in finding them, and we had a right to think that un der such circumstances the State herself should have found exemption from the op-i eration of the speculator. But we are inis taken it seems. The rights of the people, ! the legislation of the country, in a word, i Georgia, in her sovt rign, independent ’ character as a State, is amt tig other things, in this day of bargain and sale, put under the hammer to the liighest bidtier, ami Mr. Nicholas Biddle, with the funds of the United States Bank, has become the pur chaser. The bargain has been made : but the op- \ cration is not ytl consinn:;.ated and if we! are not more grossly misteken in the char- j acter of Georgia than we have ever imagined om. e.ves, that operation ncuer will be cou- I'Uinated. The people will not tolerate! *i.ch an inva-ion of State Rights by tiny . corpoiate hotly, banking or otherwise, no matter In Avevcr nipectable the individuals may be composing such coporations. We will have the grounds ot protest to i the accomplishment of this transaction, dis tinctly understood. Be it remembered that we are not now discussing the policy or im policy o( a United States Bank, nor the constitutionality or iniconstitutionality «■! Congress in granting such charter to any corporation.—There is no Government Bank now ; and this is sufficient upon thal bead. Nor are we discussing the policy or im policy ol the Slate pi rtt iu'mg Mr. Biddle to establish a branch of his Peimsx Ivania Bank i in Georgia. When Mr. Biddle applies to { lite proper authority, the representatives of the people ol Georgia (< r >u< it a privalege, it wll be time ttiough to discuss its policy! or itnpolit'x. But wx* solicit the attention and the con sit e ation ol the reader for a few moments, while we shall endeavor briefly to make a clear exposition ofthe whole matter. i Ibe lusur;m ( -e Bank of Colrirnhus ob-! tamed a charter some years ago, front the Legislature of Georgia, lor the transaction ol the usual banking and insurance business in the town of Columbus; by rite charter the Bunk has also the privilege ofestablish ing branches in any part of the State. This is fact No. 1. Alter the expiration of the charter of the Bank of the United States, a renewal of w hich was refused by Conirtess, the STATE of Fex'X’syi.vaxia, in which the principle , U. S. Bank had been located, for a preini j tint paid to her by the stock-holders of this I defunct institution, of FOUR MILLIONS of ! dollars, agreed to charter the same body of ; men, with the same capital, and granting i them all their obi privileges, s> far as one : State cotil.l confer those privileges upon : them. This, Pennsylvania,'as a soveritrn I State, had a perfect right to do, and with the propriety or impropriety ofthe act, wc ! have of course nothing to do. Tint, as our intelligent reader will at once perceive, if this mammoth institution i were to be confined in her operations to the i limits of one State, the premium of four j millions wos pax ing wonderfully dear for the ptivilege. This was but the first step in the enterprize. She mast have branches itt the States, and do the business of the people ofthe United States, or she would ;be reduced to a simple State institution. : her premium given away, and her great i monied capacities rendered jcomparatively , profitless. Her L'rand object,' therefore, has , been, to get a font hold in the different States ofthe Union. This she has tried in various ways, and had mostly failed in her efforts- She had been resisted in Georgia, had she made the attempt. Fearful a' least of tl : e latter result, she has not applied to the authorities of this State. Now here is the point. If Mr. Biddle ilesites that the State of Pennsylvania shall j do the banking business of Georgia, why ! not apply to the proper authority, and 'lie ; only one that can authorize him to cfl’ect his object—we mean the representatives of the people, No. he w ill not no this. Why ? Because he believes that the people of Georgia will grant no such request. He knows that if the people believe that their own citizens cannot do their own business, and are compelled to call on other States to do it for them, they would prefer some other State nearer home, and more identi-j fied with interests, to take us in charge. Mr. Biddle’s only remaining plan then is j to purchase the charter of some bank, al ready chartered by the State. That is, in so many weirds, to obtain from individuals, powers, rights ami immunities, which are refused him by the Statei This we sup i pose bethinks he Ims obtained by his late purchase. Perhaps he has. Perhaps the 100.000 paid to individuals may have conferred on him the patent right of Ge or gia. But we do not believe it. We have ; not the slightest objection to any efforts ■ of;Mr. Bi die’s to obtain from the constitu ted authorities ol Georgia, a charter for a bi'tinch ofthe Pennsylvania Bank ; but we do resist—the people will most assuredly resist all efforts to sell rights and public immunities, exclusively belonging to the State, unless the people themselves make their own bargain ; and they will most un doubtedly never become tributary to Penn sylvania, simply because they "have once upon a time granted banking privileges to a few of her own capitalists, to be exercised at western extreme of her territory, and which they think proper to transsfer to Mr. Biddle and the Bank of Pennsylvania. i This then is the sum of our opposition ; that a hram'h of this attempted national in stitution, under a charter from the State of Pennsylvania, should attempt a location in Georgia, by the purchase of a State char ter, from individuals, w itliont the consent of the State or even an application to its constituted authorities, for such a privilege, and who are alone competent to grant it. We repeat again, we have no objection that such an application shotil.l be made, it will be for the wisdom ofthe country, as ascer tained through the representatives ofthe people, whether upon such application they will grant it or not. When the application is made, it will be time enough to discuss ts merits. We have introduced into this article, fre quently, the name ol'Mr. Biddle. This we )do from no disrespect to that gentleman, ; but because he was brought forward in the I article to which we at first referred, as the individual making the purchase, and be cause we know him to be the very soul of the institution ofwhich we speak. Howev er much we may have always opposed the institution over which he presides, vve have been ever ready to acknowledge his merits as a nighly respectable gentleman, of most distinguished ability. Much less is this a (controversy with the individuals in this ! Slate whose names we see connected with ' the proposed institution. Towards all of ! them we entertain only the most respectful feelings—towards many of them, we are bound by the ties of private friendship. But this journal has always been the advo cate ot State Rights, and God being our helper, it always shall. Believing as we do, that the sovereignty ami independence :of the States is the only palladium offree ! (loin, w<* cannot permit what we deem a ! palpable invasion of State Rights to pass unnoticed and unopposed. Let Mr. Bid i die apply to the Stale and obtain her pcr • mission to place a branch of his national j bank within her limit:, and c.,r opposition is ended ; until then, we shall oppose with all our might, this, as well as all other infrac tions of the rights of the people of Geor g'»- T OF Passe I at /lie late session ofUic Legislature which have received the sanction ofthe Governor of the State of Georgia.
