for my present purpose. Mr. Biddle (the Presi
dent of the Hank) says "The people of the U. S.
through their representatives re-chartered that in
stitution (the bank). But the Executive, discon
tented with its independence, rejected the net of (
Congress, and the favorite topic of declamation .
w as, that the State’s would make Banks, and that
these banks could crc.at :> better system of cur 1
rency and exchanges. The States accordingly ’
made banks ; and then followed idle parades !
about the loans of these batiks, and their large
dealings in exchange. And what is the couse- '
queued The hank of the I . States has not ecus- 1

the whole currency ami exchanges me running in
to inextricable contusion, mid the industry of die i

is apparent Mr. Chairman, that the object of th. !
President of the V. S. Batik (alias the I . S. Bank
of Pennsylvania) in w.itmg this letter to Mr
Adams, was to create the impression in advance i
that Gen. Jackson alone would be to blame (It. I
having refused to sign the bill re chart, -ling ti e 1
Bank)for the commercial distress shortly after 1
wards experienced in many portions ol thel'tiion. !
and especially in the large cities on the atlmitic ! ,
bonier, and t<> make the American people believe I ,
that it was in the power of the I. S. Bank, to fur !
nish them with a belter system of currency an-.i '
exchanges than could everl e expected from iner. ■
State Banks, lleretlien, Mr t'haiinian, wehav. .
the secret of the purchase of the Insurance BmA ,
of Columbus, by the I’.S. Bank of Pennsvlvatiin I
it is to furnish the people of Georgia yy uh n hett< r , 1
system of currency amt exchanges ! Asa Geer 1
gian I repel the indignity, and am prepared to go i
any length to dine the lawless iuuu ler bevom .
our limits. It requires no argument ir, to p’rov,
that the purchase of the stock of the Insurmtc. '
Bank of Columlms. by the I'. S. Bank of I’cmi
•ylvauia. is a usurpation of the reserved rights ol .
the States. Th ■ right to issue money is an ini
pm tint branch of State sovereignty—• tight too i
which Georgia has never relinquished to any fuuc
tionary on earth. No P. >nk therefore can he es 1
tablished w ilho'-t her limits without her consent
Bit say the friends of this measure the charter
granted by the Legislature to the Insurance Ban' 1
of Columbus, has not been touched—no new Baid
has been established ! In repiy. I ask what is th
difference. «o far as the public are concerned be ,
tween the transfer of the charter of a bank (if that y
were possible) and the sale of its stock ? D»e«
not the purchase of the stock of a bank (if a legal ’
transaction) confer upon the ptirchasei as perfect *
n right to the management of its affairs ns though
the charter had been originally granted to him?
After a bank is once chartered, its cemp'exioti
and operations depend almost entirely on tbechnr ’’
ficter of its officers. The creative pow-r isseldom *’
or never felt astern arils.unless it is (as 1 hope will II
be the case in the present instance) to dissolve the (
corporation. I y
I maintain therefore that the transfer of the slock 1 p
of the Insurance Rank ol Coliiml. us is equivalent ■
to the establishment of a new bank without '.lie Z
consent of the people of the State, and in vio'atiou i s
ofoneof their re-erved rights • since legislative,/ 1
authority which gave the institution birth, can it" . v
longer be effectually exercised over it except iu L
the summary maimer just alluded to. It is idle
Mr. Chairman to talk of the responsibility of ”
Bank*; you can no more control them than you a
can the planetary system. That this tiniisaction i
i» a fraud upon the legislature is plain That I o z
dy certainly never intended, that the control of the I
Insurance Bank, should pass out of the hands of '
its origin al corporators, into those of citizens of a 1
elistant State, ami subjects of a foreign monarchy.' t
The U. S. Bank has accomplished indirectly what t
it never could have accomplished directly. No I :
friend of that institution will pretend that if it had
sent a petition to the last legislature, requesting f
permission to purchase up the stock of the Insii" ) I
rance Bank of Columbus, that the petition would j t
not have been kicked out of the Legislative Hall J
or left to sleep out the balance of the session on
the desk of the member who presented it. This !
brings me to the consideration of the proposition 1
embraced in the second resolution—that the bills I
of the Insurance Bank issued since the sale of its
stock possess no real value. And why ? Because
the present owners of that In-titution are not cit- !
izens of the State, and have no property betel
which could be made liable to the payment ofits
bills. Coder the chanei the legislature had very *
wisely provided that the individual property of the ‘
otiginal stockholders of the Bank should be’ bound :
for the payment of its notes—they having sold out, ‘
the agricultural, as well as every other interest in ’
the community is left without the slightest seen- '
rity for the redemption ofits issues. lam now to 1
consider the important aud interesting question. '
will the next Legislature possess the power to de- I
clare the charter granted to the Insurance Bank of 1
Columbus ferfeited ? I say at once sir, that it
will, aud that the reasons already urged would be
noticed. I w ill just glance at one or two. Thechar- '
ter of the Insurance Bank is a voluntary grant, 1
aud public utility the great object of its creation. 1
If then, the Legislature at its next session, shall be
satisfied that this object is no lunger attainable, I
reeno difficulty which tint body could have iu
annulling or vacating the charter of the Bink.
This Institution, it will be remembered, paid no
thing byway of loans to the State, for its charter, i
aud cannot prolong its existence, by seeking sh. 1 1
ter under that clause of the federal constitution, !
which prohibits the different States from passing I
any law, impairing the obligation of contracts— t
nor could the repeal of the act eslablLhmg the i
Bank affect the collection of the I.ills which ,
h might l.ave in circulation at the time J,
since the repealing act could not have a retro- |
apectiveinfluence —until this isdoue, the rnniniu- 1
nity will find ample security in a steady refusal to ■
receive the notes of this Institution. Another’
•trong objection in my mind to the transfer of the
Insurance Bank, is the disastious influence w hit h
the U. S. Bank might exercise through it ovei ihe !
other monied institutions of the State With a !
chartered capital of thirty live millions of dollars
already increased to fifty, by the seven millions of
government stock which she yet nt ins. added to
theeighl millions recently borrowed in Europe,
this mammoth institution might select for Iter vic
tims any, or all of the State Banks, with perhaps
a few exceptions. IftheU S. Batik is permit e1 I
to proceed under the charter of, the Insurance :
Bank, ami cstaldi-h branches oftbat iu-ti ut on i ,
Macon and othei cities, is there not dang r that
•he will monopolise the currency of the .State
become the sole dispenser of money—regulate the
price of interest, and of almost every thing else, at
pleasure? In that event, how hiiniili King the I
•pectade w hich t .e State of Georgia would pre
. jent. But 1 leave you to fid • p the picture -my i
business is merely to sketch J
I cannot dismiss this subject, Mr Chairman,
without presenting one more Hew of it.
The U. s. Bank has been snuggling for the last '
three years, to obtain ihe asei ndaiicy in he Gov- I
eminent, for the avow ed pm pose of m < i.rii g a re
newal of *ts< hatter. In accoidance w ill th s de- |

to its orators and presses arc frequent and noton

HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT '
IO MURDER. 1
Mr. Nelsou Alexander, from IVinn-lio- .
tough, (S. U.) was waylaid mar the Eight '
Mile House, early <»t Saturday morning,
and robbed of S3BOO. The particulars, as ,
far as they have come to our knowledge, are I
asfollows :
Mr. Alexander, on Thursday last, was j t
accosted, near the race course, by a man (
calling himself Wm. Granger, who had with 1
him two boys for sale, saying that he had '
two more at bis plantation, near the Eight
Mile House, and that if he would meet him j
there on Friday, h would shew L e othets.
Accordingly Mr. A. went to the place de
signated, but not meeting G., he remained
at the Four Mile Hoitseou Friday « veiling,
when he proceeded to the Eiuht Mile House, f
where he remained during the night. He ~
started early on Saturday morning for town, ■ |
and tiller proceiding a short dislam e, fell j
in w i i three tm n, an ongwhom be reeogiii- ;
zed Granger. They prevailed on him to
dismount, and alter do ng so, Grangir '
threw his arms around him, and one of his | ’
accomplices, tilling his mouth and ey es with I
a substance pronounced by the now attend- j J
ing physician of a poisonous nature, drag- ! (
ged him in the woods, kicked and bruised (
him dreadlully ami rubbed him of all his j
money. :
Mr. Alexander now lays dangerously ill p
at the 8 Mile Ilon-e, but he has all the at- <
temhince from his friends in town that can
be possibly bestowed upon him.

against Ur Willi .ms. w hich ended in the death of j (
the pretended society which inst. luted them; Dr. W. I ,
was acquitted ot all the charges against him. So j ‘
has this matter ended. It appears to be the opinion 1
I ol an independent Aixerieau jury, that the people | '
I can take care of their own health ai.d of their own ! s
1 pockets ; aud that, even if they cuiniot, they at '
least are of opinion ihat ihe learned medical fra- '

duties, shall not have the additional load imposed
