HOWEVER obscure the character; aud humble the name of an individual he is still entitled to justice;— and his complaints nr appeal for justice, when addressed to the enlightened and impartial tribunal of public opinion, is entitled to the same cons deration and should be treated with the same respect as if his pretentions were backed, by all the factitious aid, which wealth and honors and widely extended reputation o6uld give him. Justice, ttrt.t, hafihjurttte if it tdeases. is allthat Is dc-' mandod frrira tbecommunity I arn how addressing. If this is granted me, 1 do not fear the result of the issue, pending before the public, notwithstanding the fearful odds arranged against me in me character, the power and official influence of my accusers. Mv accusers are a committee, ora portion of a committee, appointed by the Legislature to investigate the affairs es the Hank of Macon arid the cause of its failure and the grounds of accusation will be foetid in a report, made so that body by said committee. The charge against me, though not distinctly made —May be stated in its full force thus;—a violation <fa contract with the Bank of Macon to furnish said Bank Gold bullion at the price or sum of 58 cis. per dwt. which it is alleged in the report, is one of the causes though one of “ minor impor tance," that tended to produce the present disastrous stale of a flairs, growing out of the recent failure if tho “Bank ol Macon.” (lad the committee confined itself to the establish ment of tbi3 charge, by a fair, decent comment on lltc testi mony, which was adduced, the reply it would lra»c elicited, would have been much less painful both to the members of that committee and myself. If the ascertainment of plain, simple honest truth had been their object and bad they been disposed to make no other impression cu the public mind, than what was natural from such a source, they would scarcely have been so lost to self-respect, and have departed so far fr ni common diccncy in argument, as u> descend to a mere quibble, one if theenswers in iny testimony and from which loosing sight of tl-.e m tin accusation, they pretend to deduce the charge of •• gross ignorance or gross corruption.” The alternative pressed upon me by tho committee, they | dohbtless believe very charitable and maybe astonished to ; learn that it cannot be accepted. If IJo not shew clearly ! that the author of that report, at least, is justly obnoxious to j the first branch of Iris alternative, I shall be perfectly wil ding to acquiesce in the application of the lattkr to myself. i They have a recital of the whole of my answer to the seventh I interrogatory upon which the charge is founded, will be en tirely sufficient to shew that no cjuhocation or evasion was ! intended. ' It is as follows “ I have taken up a large amount of Macon Bills; lam not able to state liovf nitfeli; neither do 1 know how much 1 had r n hand at tbs linio cf the failure. / paid part nf the BUI ■ on my receipts, the balance /have on hand, and' in the hands of agents that 1 have not settled with." In the ro- j capitulation of my testimony in the body of the report, the j .committee have attempted to do me great injustice. They i 0.-. y “in the answer of It. 8. Dutton to the 7th,iut.” he swears ' “ that lain not nb eto state how much, neither do I know j i how much I had on hand at the time of ihe failure,” and this ! answer they alledge affords abundant grounds to answer me | • for £ros3 ignorance or gross corruption.” Omitting entire- j jly the last branch.of tny answer, which I have inserted in j : italics, that it may receive, particular notice, which fully re-: j coucites every apparent difference in any of the carts and j j clearly establishes the truth of the whoic, tha committee have . | seized upon a garbled extract from my answer and attempt-1 | ed by aits, that would disgrace, the lowest pettifogger in a | court r f justice, to make an impression on tha public mind; ! against me., which the testimony when taken t getlier and | considered justly, will n t warrant. Why did I not know i•• hew mac!) Macon money 1 had or. hand at tho time of the j Banks failure I” The reason is given in the saute answer from which,the garbled extract has been made, and that pari j ! wl,i || has been suppressed by the Comiuiltco; limply because ! f had money in Ihe hands nf assents with whom /had not rented. And yet the commiftee would ie piirc that 1 should know to , j a cent, on a particular day named by themselves; how much ■ money in hills on a specified Bank, 1 had on hand, notwith- . i standing too I had pul large amounts in the hands of agents, who were at distance front me and with whom 1 had made no j ' settlements. They would requi-o that 1 sltoulJ be able to ' tell promptly, what sum c ('money I had in tny pockets, on ! 1 every occasion—really this is demanding a grent deal Iroin •any man, certainly more titan could bo expected f.'utti one. according to their own statements, who was in the habit ol daily traffic and v.ho •>s«.B from cno to cue bundled and for ty-five thousand dollars. • . | But i do lint believe, that lint disposition of the committee to do me injustice, by this liii-.rspresentation ol my testimo ny, can etc ape the observation of any person of common sa gacity, who will give the subject a utonumts consideration. , I will n«t therefore# consume more tiuui in exposing that, v ick mrst be obM-ns te s!l. I esnnet cravecet however to ; l - I ' s opportunity of presenting, principally for their com i mitteesown bench:, a specimen of their undoubted impurtkitUtj it rr.av serve toconsolc them, for the errors which they them selves rear hereafter detect in their report. It has pleased I the cotmnittecjo speak in terms of approbation of the con ■ ductoi L. Atkinson, Esq. late Cashier, of iho .Macon Dank, i a . J ‘‘ ,u t'odorse his administration of the affairs of that iustiru- I lion as “fair ami correct." In their comment on histeslimo ny ton, every tti.'.g test fir and correct the most penetrating ; subtlety crluTd hot detect an itiepn islcney. Jf<ghing was i found in his testimony, not even a garbled: ft ■ net, whieii would authorize the committee to press upon them the unpleasant alternative of “gross ijutoraueu or gross corruption’’ Yt. I '-he folio., ing extract, from his toslimohy, wilt shew thatthv I m nominee had ihe same grounds f« r censuring .Mr. AI kin SOT, j for which, they for:d-inueu nie. r i’he ltd interrogatory ud ; dressed to Mr. Atkinson, is as fellows, “have any notes or bills of the Manic of Macon beet! cancelled at: 1 burned, or oth ] erwue withdrawn front circulati on, dining your being in office i— fany, what amount ? —Tlio answer is T.ire have teen ■-j .e." j Now it must be obvious that the answer does nut afford ' the information to any extent, called for by tbo interrogatory 1 The object i J 'the committee must have been to ascertain 1 | what aiYiouat f hills ha 1 been destroyed; this was necessary j lo arrive at the very important knowledge, what nmount were i j still in wirct,lglig>p. it cannot he pretended that Mr. Atkin son.who was the Cashier, could be ignorant on tliis subject, j It was his duty to possess a fair record of every hill that had I been burned nr otherwise withdrawn from circulation and no ' one can doubt if this duty had been performed and the wft ! ness allowed time tor examination “he could have answered j the .question ictlie satisfied. nos any one, without any hind !of difficulty whatever.” Yet the committee required,"that 1 i should he able at tne moment to say what amount of money 1 1 had in my hands on a particular day, ir submit to a charge | of “gross ignorance or gross corruption ?** whilst they permit j another individual who hold “ the truly delicate and respon sible situation” of cashier to the Hank, and who could not j toll what amount' of the bills of that bank had been destroyed ! or withdrawn from circulation, not only to pass without ceu ! sure, but as if to make their partiality* men, have .endorsed I his whole conduct as pertectly “fair ami correct.” I eertain | ly bate no disposition to iind fault with the approbation, lies , towed by the committee upon- the conduct of Mr. Atkiuson ; j I believe he deserves it, atm if the committee had extended to i mo-tho same justice and judged my conduct by the same stan dard they did hit, 1 should have no cause to find fault myself-- as it is. there is un obvious distinction made between us; ei-j tMi r, Atkinson hut great reason to tiers their tneteg, or 1 have abundant cause to curse their injustice. Leaving the Committee to recencile in the best manner they can, t<> their own consciences and to the just sense of the community—a tribunal to which thkv, as well as myself are responsible.—this net of partiality and injustice, I hall prccfed, with all practicable brevity, to reply to the cnly remaining part of the Report which duly to myself iho : quires that I should notice. The Report of the Committee discloses the fact, that on the IGth day of February, IF3J, 1 made a contract with the Rank of Macon, to furnish said Until;, gold bullion at the j rice of ninety-eight cents perdwt.; and the better to enable me to make the purchase, tho Rank agreed to advance, from time to time, such sums of money, us were necessary for that purpose. This contract T continued strictly tu> f ifil up to the period of the failure of the Rank, and even a few days before its failure, I paid in a sum exceed ing the enormous amount of $50,000 in gold, SSOOO of which was paid the day before the failure was announced; but be cause 1 did not still go on to purchase nr.d deliver to the Rank, large sums of gold, after it had stopped payment and was notoriously insolvent, the Committee have charged me with bad faith in the execution of mj/ contract. To this it would appear necessary only to reply, that my contract with the Bank was not limited lc any particular period ; —the Dank had a right at any time to notify me that the contract was at an end, and stop my purchases; 1 surely had the same right whenever I thought proper, to cease all further operations un der tile contract, aud to refund lo the Dank any amount of mo noy I had on hand. Rut tho Committee, in order to sustain the charge again: ; mo of bad faith in the execution of my tor., tract, have been driven to assume the ground, that I acted as the tnert agent of .the Dank, and was bound in all my opera tions by its instructions. This fact, it will appear from the testimony appended lo the Report, they dii gently sought to establish bv every witness at all acquainted with the tran saction. The question was addressed directly to Mr. Atkin son, the Cashier, in the 15th interrogatory—“ Had the Bank of Macon anv acent on agents during the spring and Bum mer of 1.-32. engaged in the furchase *f coin V’ The an ew rr was, “There was a contract entered into with Robert S. Patten.” 8o did every man who at any lime borrowed money from the Bank r f Macon, for the purpose of purchas ing go’d, or for any other purpose, make a contract with the Bank, which he was heund to redeem at the time cf the con tract, by the payment oTgold or silver; (not bullion) but coin ; —yet there cannot be found a siugleinoividu.il, wno became indebted to tho Bank of MaCbtt previous to its failure, who lias not, subsequent to that event, availed himself of rim right to discharge his debts in bids epon that Bank. The annexed certificate of Mr. Atkinsrn,marked [A] will shew conclusive ly that I was not considered, by the officers of the Bank at least, i:s ,:grr.t. He saj s there wasfio Correspondence between the Bank and myself—mut no instructions were at any time give a me by the Lank — that no control was pretended to be ester, ised lytic Bank over my conduct; and that I wue left entirely to my owngc"jerutiiii:il, and th tno compensation teas allowed me, but what ! could make by pui chasing gold for less than its real value. With this statement of the (,‘asbier before hint, it is difficult to conceive how any man can arrive at the conclu sion that 1 acted in the character of agent to the Bank. There was not only no intercourse between us. no inslitruuctions raven me, no control exercise Lover my conduct, but thera was no pretence of any authority to control me—nil right es di rection user my conduct, in relation to that transaction, is ex pressly disclaimed. To establish, then, the fact that 1 was the agent of the Bank, it must be shewn that the agent is entire ly distinct and independent of bis principal. Whenever il.e “gentleman from Greene,” may choose to employ his pro fessional acuteness in the attempt to establish such a doc trine, he may add ton reputation already acquired as the au thor ofbiscelebrated “Macon Bank Report.” To elucidate still fartb r. the character of my connexion with the Macon Bank, l beg leave to call tho attention of the subjoined certificate (B Ac C.) the former a cashier of the Ma rine, the latter of the Darien Bank, by which it will Jin shown that I was furnished money, by each of those Instilutitions, for precisely the same object I received it trom the Macon Bank anil that I never was considered an Agent by either of j them. Upon tho reading of these certificates, I do not be lieve any man will be able to distinguish between the nature of my connexion with the Marine and Darien Banks, nnd the relation 1 bore the Bank of Macon. From the hoo former \ hr iowed a sum of m itey to bo applied to the purchase of gold—from the lust l done the same to alt, I gave my receipts, u :id each made ti.e loan free of interest. The only difference which exists, is, as to the ramie of Tho Murine aud Darien Banks requires pnymont in Savannah funds, the “premium on j which was considered equivalent to the interest.” The Ms- | con Bank preferring gold bullion at its own door, which was al so worth a premium equivalent to tho interest. Suppose it h id been out of my power, or from 6ome other cause I had filled to pay the M irinoand Darien Banks in checks on S»v-| annuli, what would have been the consequence ! Would . they net have been compelled to receive their own hills v. iih ! lie interest! Could they have objected to this! Surely not. The premium on the Savannah funds would bo only equiva lent to the interest; and tho payment of the interest would make up for tho l 1 sos the premium / Could the Macon Bam. rejuire mo-e ! If 1 was unable to purchase tho gold or did not comply with tho engagement, to deliver it; what wn* the necessary consequences ! What would 1 be told by the Bank! “We loaned you money free nf Interest, with ihe expectation ; it would be applied to a partieulr object; it has not been so j applied—y on must therefore return us the money wUk the in- , tere.il /” This ihe Bank could force me to do, but tietllier law j nor justice could require mo to do mure. • The pretence by the Committee, that in the settlement of j my accounts with the Bank, « fraud was committed an J » ««•( lions Injury done Um bill holder*, they knew to be unfoumloi. Thexcttleini at was made unit a eouipci'.ut agent, .nijjoiii | led by the Dank for that special purpose, and. ifaiiy-aavan-* tage was allowed me ill that settlement, the responsibility cannot rest on my ahoufder*. Ret the truth is, no advanngrfV was allowed me responsibility; rests.no wiu re. becau. n in reli lion to that matter, there is no guilt—and I wi. u.U never wV. r to vindicate mysu for thr; whom I believe as innocent as l , feel that 1 a:n.
