Obituary.
It is w ith the deepest emotions of regret, that we
announce the death of our friend and fellow-citizen,
the Hon. Jesse F. Cleveland, late a member of
Congress from this State, and for many years, a Sen
ator in the State Legislature.
As a representative of the people, both in the coun
cils of the State and nation, he has rendered them
good and faithful service. With a devotion to their
interests, that looked above all othei considerations,
aud a firmness and independence, that compromised
nothing, and yielded to nothing but the right; In
flame ranks high on the list of those, who have dun-
honor to Georgia.
As a private citizen, lie was a model cf all that
exalts and embellishes civilized life, acd carries with
him to the grave, the keen regrets of thousand.-, ami
tens of thousand, who bear living testimony to his
worth, as a man and a patriot.
We copy'the following notice of his death, from
t'be Charleston Courier, of the 23d ulf.
THE RECORDER—SHORT MEMORY, Lc
A short memory would be a wonderful convenient
thing to a politician who undertakes to manage un
manageable questions, was it not that some others
j more retentive of passing events, art occasionally as
• e'reshers, and suddenly upset their “baseless fabrics.”
Just, so, at present, with the Recorder and our
selves. The difficulty into which that print involved
itself last winter, by sustaining the reckless co‘ Jrse
j the “coon skin” party, in scouting the rr'/ief Message
of Governor McDonald, and declaring “I flEY ought
| NOT IF THEY COULD,” has k'ept it upon a continual
stretch ever since, to relic*. t * itself from a position w hich
it cannot maintain oeforc the people. It has drum
med upon Stat'j bot;us—doled piteously over the fal-
j len credit of tl.e State, aud harped most plaintively
j :, t tb'j distressed condition of the people; hopeless, and
* ’without remedy to he sure, by legislative interposition,
! and all that sort of affected sympathy, which expres-
! -es great sorrow, but never lends a helping hand. Week
, after week, it lias cried down the public credit, by tel-
| ling the people that State bonds were selling at this,
’ that, and the other scale of depreciation, well knowing
! at the same time, that the success of a great public
! work, depended alone for its accomplishment upon the
i -ale of State bonds, and that the voice of the Georgia
I press could not fail to affect their value in distant mar-
but we contend that it w as the imperative duty of the
last legislature, to have exerted its utmost talents and
ingenuity, in devising “ some measure,” as Governor
McDonald told them, that would have effected an
object “so devoutly to be wished,” instead, of an
swering his humane proposal, with, “ WE OUGHT .Not,
IF WE COULD.”
When the Governor suggested the sale of State
Bonds, did he attempt to restrict the legislature to
that, as the only practicable measure of relief? No.
He said,
“ If the plan now proposed for giving effect to
the measnre, be deemed by the General Assembly
ahjeclionable, I would earnestly recommend to them
to devise some other more faultless, in support of
which, they will have my co-operation.”
Did they tl devise some other, more faultless?' Did
they make one effort, or take one step, to mature a
measure of relief? Did they appoint even a com
mittee to deliberate upon the subject of relief? Let
the Recorder answer.
This is not the first time that we have been compel
led to correct the Recorder, by refreshing its recol
lection, and by distinctly stating the mode by which we
w ould offer relief to the people, if w e possessed the
power.
As early as last February, we drafted and publish
ed a bill, W'hich we would then, and now, present to
the Legislature if it w’as in session, and we were a
member, to authorize an issue by the Central T*ank,
and as W’e have heretofore said to the Recorder, we
say again, when they desire to know, o; speak of our
views in relation to the most efficient, and practicable
mode of relief, to look to the provisions of that bill,
and that it may not escape their recollection, in fu-
ure, we publish it a£ a j n . it reads as follows :
“A bib to oeentitled an act, to repeal an act, pass-
$25,000 FOR GRATITUDE.
A bill has passed the House ofRepresentatives, ma
king a donation of $25,000 to Mrs. Harrisoi, as a
debt ofgratitude to her deceased husband, whici with
one months pay, for the lime he served, will take from
the peoples pockets upwards of twenty-seven thousand
dollars; and add to this, about $23,000 to Mr. Tyler,
will make the first year of the whig Presidency cost
the people $50,000: and an administration too: that
made much capital in the late Canvass, by crying
out retrenchment and reform.
We condemn the proceeding as unconstitutional
and improper, and as setting an example w hich may
lead to the most pernicious results.
It is anti-republican, and smacks too much cf the
pension system of monarchies and aristocracies for our
fancy. It is taking money from the people without
their warrant, or consent, and is therefore politically
wrong.
How many poor oid soldiers of the revolution, who
are tottering in poverty to the grave, upon a pittance,
which barely affords them food and raiment, are left
to linger out the remnant of their days, forgotten and
obscure, while the nations bounty is ostentatiously be
stowed to swell a fortune already ample—to make the
rich, richer, and the poor, poorei? And this is ca ! '.ed
a nations gratitude.
We contend upon republican principles, that any
American citizen who dies in office, at the end of a
months service, is as much entitled to fee public grati
tude, as the President of il- e United States; and if the
family of the one, is entitled to a full years compensa
tion, so is the other. The husband who gets five hun
dred dollars ** year, for bis rervices, is as dear to his
w ife, as if he was President. Her bereavement is as
gf^at ar,d her sorrow as poignant, for his loss, and her
claims are equally as strong upon the charity of ihe
country. Let the people look at these things as they
should.
If Mrs. Harrison has actually been left in a desti
tute situation, let an appeal be made to private charity,
and let the example be set at Washington, l*v the

and the scores of officers who are enjoying the emolu

It originated with the old Adams federalists, no w
whigs,• in derison of the disciples of Jefferson ; who
as Mr. Jefferson told us, would fight under different
names to make themselves popular with the people
and secure office and power.
This Government was instituted fertile welfare of
the people, and those who make, aud those w ho exe-
cute die laws, are but their agents ; and that to gen
erate any separate and distinct interests between the
people is incompatible with this principle, and » as
never contemplated by the fathers of the Revolution
or framers of the Constitution. Equal laws, equal
rights, political, civil and religious liberty. This is
part of a democrats creed, and whoever departs from
this is no democrat, say I.
If a man perverts the truth, or gives false color
ing to an}’ matter, he is no democrat—If lie deceives
by holding back part of the truth—lie is no demo
crat. Then to be a democrat, he must be frank, can
did and honest in all things ; serving principles, not
men. By ihe use of the term, “Party” the dema
gogues deceive us; but lie of no man’s party, whose
principles differ from the above.
A democrat believes in ihe sovereignty of the
States, as expounded by the Virginia resolutions and
report. He holds the Constitution as the bulwark of
his rights and liberty; and nothing will satify him
short of a strict construction of tiiat instrument.

Mr. Clay from the committee appointed for that
purpose, has reported a Bill to incorporate a National
Bank, essentially different from the Cabinet project
recommended by the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.
Ewing.
In the plan proposed by Mr. Ewing, no authority
is given to deal in foreign exchanges, or to locat*-
branches in the States, without their consent; but Mr.
Clays bill authorises the Bank to deal in foreign cx-

{ to delude the people, by holding out false prospects
; of relief, and our only crime is telling the truth in re-

We deny inloto, the charge that we have '‘attempted

anifend an act t> establish a Bank at Milledgeville,

Spending an idle hour in our village the other day,
in conversation with some friends, I was strangely
tormented with an inclination to lie, misrepresent and
deceive. As soon as decency would permit, I retired

very few dollars from each, j on my way home in the country, the inclination to
falsehood continued. Stopping at a neighbors door
to deliver his newspaper, w hich he hail asked to bring

for defamation. 1 remember the moment this latter

Does any mail in his senses require better evidence

That tip to the time of his election to the Vice Presi

into the Presidential office, w ith very annoying scru

to which we allude, is as fellows:
“The Standard says, the people ought to be re
lieved by the sale ofSiate Bonds, the proceeds to be
loaned to the people on the same terms that the State
obtained them.”
In answer to this, we have only to say. The Stan-
rity of the same, r ihat an act passed on the 23d day ; dent and the secretary of the Treasury, that the na-
of December, eighteen hundred and forty, entitle “an

by the name and style of the Central Bank of Geor
gia, &lc. passed or. the 22d day of December 1839,
and to provide for he protection of the circulation of
said Bank, and (brother purposes,” be, and the same
are hereby repealed.
Sec. 2d. And be it further enacted by the authori
ty aforesaid, That the President and Directors of the
Central Bank of Georgia, be, and they are hereby
authorised to loan out to the citizens of this State a
sum not exceeding five millions of dollars, and they
are hereby required to proceed forthwith, to adver
tise a distribution of said amount, to the respective
Counties, and that said distribution be made with (lie
greatest practicable despatch, and under the rules arid
regulations heretofore governing distributions, where
the same, or any part thereof, are not altered by this
act.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted by the authority
aforesaid, That it shall be the duty of the President
and Directors of said Bank, to give a preference in
their loans, to persons whose pecuniary embarrassments
require immediate relief, provided they give good and
indisputable indorsers; and in no case to loan to any

In spite of all the efforts of the Reformers to break
down the Central Bank, the bills get better. They
will still pay the peoples debts at par, in most instan
ces, and are only now and then refused bv some Sha
ver or Shylock—and what is better the Recorder re
ceives them at par ; and when a gentleman pays his
account in Central bills, they return him a bow, and
their thanks.

MR. BUCHANAN’S SPEECH.
We commence to-day, the publication of Mr.
Buchanan’s speech, upon the McLeod case, and shall
conclude it next week.
We invite the earnest attention of our readers to
this masterly effort of the distinguished Senator from
Pennsylvania, in which he has exposed to the view of
an outraged people, the injustice and cowardice of the
present administration, and the dishonor which it has
brought down upon the American name.
We are free to declare, that since the infamous sur
render of General Hull, to the British, during the
last war, no act of this government bears the slight
est comparison with the mean and dastardly course of
the powers that be, in relation to McLeod.
“ Tel! it not iu gath”—-that the American govern
ment has not only justified the invasion of her own
soil, aud the murder of her citizens by a foreign ma
rauder, but when he is called to account for his atro-!
j cities by a sovereign State, the federal government
beeomesnot only his apoligist, but his counsel; and
the disgraceful spectacle is now exhibited to the world
of the District Attorney of the United States—the
prosecuting officer of the government, and paid by
the government, standing up in open court, as his ad
vocate, and the Attorney General of the United
Stales, lending the aid of his counsel, to shield the
guilty scoundrel from merited punishment.
There is corruption rank—there is rottenness to
the core, or these things would not be,
MORE CORRUPTION.
According to the details of the Bank bill offered
by Mr. Clay, another item is to be added to the pat- I |,| m _
ronage of the government, and a new door opened to
the corrupting influence of money, upon the political
opinions of men.
The mother Bank at Washington, is to he man
aged by nine Directors, who having very little to do,
are to be paid for their services—be made salried offi
cers, and thereby added to the number of seekerPand
scramblers, and to the means of men in power, to
boy up the services of political partizans, w ith other
peoples money.
Who will be President of the “Great Bank?”
We cannot designate the individual, but he will be
taken from Congress—a Senator probably, who has
been so far disappointed in procuring a distinguished
place under the administration. It will be organized
as a political institution, and will be considered the
fourth Department of the government; that is, the
fourth in point of creation, but the first, in influence
and power.
And where are these nine Directors to come from,
and who are they to be? They aie to come from
the four corners of the Union—to be selected mainly
for their ability to render political service—to be
plotting politicians—stump orators, shavers and shy-
locks. One portion to cheat the people out of their
votes, and the other to cheat them out of their money.
What a pity Nick Biddle could not have kept his
wind a little longer ; but happily for the great pro
jectors, the breed of financiers from which he sprung,
is not yet extinct.
But the people w'ere promised reformation, and
they must have it, at least in name, though it end in
ruin.
The Bank is coming, and let the people remember
the warning voice of him, who said, “ if the Bank
comes, all unconstitutional things will come w ith it

been one of Aleck’s band, and it seems the policy of
[fie enemy, when one of their parly is captured, to
change their encampment, lest they should be used as
guides. This movement, and at night, with the com
manding officer in person, is the commencement of a
new era, and we are sanguine of a most auspicious re
sult. Col. Worth has sent an express to New Orleans
for the return of Wild Cat; his immediate shipment
interfering with the uses he had intended making of
him in his capture. The field will again be occu
pied, and troops put in motion so that the old plan of
waiting for the enemy is to be changed to ^hunting
A destruction of his fields, harrassing his en
campments, and a conviction that at military posts
will be his only safety, will, we have every reason to
believe, bring about a close of this war earlier than
by any other policy. Such we know to be the inten
tions of Col. Worth, and we cannot but congratulate
the country on the command of the army devolv
ing upon this most able and gallant officer. Col.
Worth is in tlie finest health, and leaves here to
