c entral Bank*r-Wbig Delusion*.
The remark so forcibly illustrated by Mr.
furke, of “great cry and little wool,” was nc-
r mor e completely verified than in tho noise
j Jamor raised by the leaders of the whig
party, and kepi up by the organs of Governor
Crawford, in relation to the Central Bank.—
They have claimed for him the sole merit of
having retrieved the credit of that institution by
),is unmatched skill as a financier. Wo have
jhotvn in previous numbers of this paper that
the appreciation of the bills of the Central Bank
to par. and the consequent restoration of the
State’s credit wes effected by a course of leg-
jslatioo recommended by his predecessor pre
vious to Gov. Crawford’s election to the
magistracy of the State, with which he
. had nothing to do ; and it is not our inten
tion to allude particularly to that branch
0 f the subject here. ,Our object now is to
ghnee briefly at some of the passages of that
gentleman’s life in connection with the Central
Hank, to contrast them with the claims set up
for him now by his political friends, and to
show how plain a statement will put them
down. It will be remembered that Gov.Craw
ford was one of the select committee appointed
under a resolution of the House of Represen
tatives during the session of 1842 to examine
into the affairs of the Central Bank. The re
port made to the Legislature by n majority of
that committee, of which Gov. Crawford was
one, charged the Central Bank with being ut
terly insolvent and wholly unable to redeem its
circulation, as the following extract from the
report will show: “ The Bank if note left to
its own resource*, would be utterly insolvent;
it cannot pay its liabilities out of its assets. 1 '
Now the bank was at that time either insol
vent, or the report of the committee was not
true: which horn of the dilemma the Governor
and his friends will take is immaterial to
UJ _it will be impossible for them to show from
cither that Gov. Crawford is entitled to any
credit for the present sound condition of the
Central Bank, What has he done for it ? has
it received during his administration one dollar
from the State Treasury ? We believe it hns
not. How then if it was insolvent, as charged
lv Gov. C. and his fiiends In 1812, has it
been enabled .to meet its liabilities ? Has Gov.
C. or his friends out of their private means or
otlieiwiso placed any money in the Bank to
relieve it from its embarrassments? if they
have not, and it has not received any tiling
from the Treasury, it follows as a matter
of course that it has been enabled from its
own assets alone to meet its liabilities. Is
Gov. C. then entitled to any credit for that?
certainly not, be has done nothing more than
any oilier man would have done; simply enfor
ced the laws r.■commended by Governor
McDonald, and passed by toe legislature,
previous to his election. The Stule nor the
Central Bank owe nothing to Gov. Craw
ford for any credit either nvy have now. And
if thi'ie is ot.c man more than another in Georgia
justly chargeab'e with the ruinous losses sus
tained l»y the holders of the Central Bank Bills
during their greatest depreciation, Gov. C. is
that man. His report, as every one knows,
Struck tin most fatal blow against the credit of
that i stitution that it received from any quar
ter during its embarrassments, in a week af
ter it was published, its bills were selling at 50
els, in the dollar in all the principal cities in
the State. We would not, however, allude to
what follows, but for the claims set up for h’m
by his friends, and the undeniable fact that the
Cential Bank, notwithstanding the report of its
insolvency his out of its own assets met its liabili
ties without any aid whatever from any quor.
ter. As it lias done that, and it is hard to re-
Cascile this s'atc of facts with the whig report
in any other way, we would ask his friends in all
candour if the key to the report made by the com
mittee is to be found in the fact that in tho list of
debtors to the Central Bank in Richmond Co.,
published in the report made by the Bank to
the Legislature in ’42, tha name of GEORGE
W. CRAWFORD appears hs principal and se-
cutity to the round sum of $2060. Now we do
not charge Gov. C. with intending to prostrate
the credit of the Bank by his report with the view
to benefit himself personally. We simply al
lude to the fact, and leave the people to make
theirown inferences. While upon thissubject,
as our neighbors ofthe Journal and Recorder are
upon the spot and can set us right if we are
jnbtaken, we would be glad to know if at the
time the report was made, that of the notes un
der protest at the Central Bank, the largest
amount WU5 not due from the political friends of
3Ir. Crawford?
Tlic Crops.

•of the crops in most oflfce •»- ,ddle and weslern
counties, nro far from to ng fuvprable. A\ 0
clip the following from the correspondent oi

Mariktta, Ga. Aug. 8.
[ am sorry to confirm to you the report which
prevails in your portion of the Slate, of the
great injury the corn crops have sustained by
tho dry weather which lias been so remarkably
prevalent during th s summer. I bud been led
to expect better prospects in the Cherokee
counties, but though the crops have not suffer-
ad a« much in the counties south of this, yet
tho injury will be large, and 1 have heard that
in the extreme northern counties of the State,
the crops look very little more promising. The
cotton fields in the counties sout of (his latitude
do not promise good crops; and if, unfortun-
stely, we should have excessive rains during
this month and September, the crop will be
very short; a few moderate showers would do
no harm, but heavy ones are to be apprehend
ed- The wheat crops were pretty good ; nnd
•f we are short of corn, at any rate we can have
plenty of wheai bread. I have been credibly
informed that arrangements have already been
("odo for the importation into oJr State from
*** western States, of large quantities of corn,
Specially from Tennessee, Kentucky,and Ohio,

Willis's Letters from London.
The three first letters from this gentleman
will be found in our columns to-day. They
will prove, we doubt not, interesting to ail our
leaders. Mr. Willis, we believe, con/eniplates
furnishing a series of letters for the New York
Mirror, whilst absent on his tour in Europe.—
Thu three published to day are tlie first of the
series from London; others will be written from
Paris, St. Petersburg, and other places taken
in his route, and such of them as we think in
teresting or entertaining to our readers we will
publish.
Arrivfcf of (be Great Britain.
This Leviathan of the seas about which so
much has been s-iid both in this country and
England, arrived in New York on Sunday the
10th inst., making the passage from land to land
irt fourteen days, and twenty-one hoars, en_
countering westerly winds all the way, and at
times fresh gales, cross seas, and thick fogs.—
The commercial news, received by the Great
Britain is favorable. The cotton market was
in a healthy state. The political news is un
important. As it may 1 e interesting to some of
our readers we take the following description of
the Great Britain fromt the New York corres
pondent of the Charleston Courier:
New York, August H, 1845.
ARRIVAL or THE MONSTER STEAM SHIP.
Yesterday afternoon at 1 o’clock the gun of
tho monster steam ship, the Great Britain
was heard in the city. In about half an hour
after, she made her appearance off quarantine
and walked slowly and magnificently up the
bay—reaching her dock at the foot of Clinton-
street, East River, at half past two. The Great
Britain made the run from land to land in four
teen days and twenty-one hours, having sailed
from Liverpool on the 26th July—thus proving
the practicability and immense power of the
Screw Propeller, nnd settling the question as
to the strength nnd capacity of monster steam
ers. As steam is a phenomenon out of all pro
portion to other known mechanical forces, it
would seem to be proper that its achievements
should he on the same scale.
The Great Britain has six masts, which
spread nearly five thousand yards canvass—
about the same as u 52 gnu frigate, (exclusive
of royals, staysails and steering sails) T c
length of her kee! is 28& feet—total length over
all 322 leet. Tho beam is 51 feet, depth 32
feet 6 inches; she draws, when loaded, 16 feet
water, and displaces 2984 tons. Tonnage by
old measurement, 3443 tons. Her hull is built
of iron plates and dividsd into five air-tight
compartments. The ribs and sleepers arc all
iron. She stows 1200 tons of coal, and the
nominal force of her four engines is 1000 horse
power. The main shaft of the screw is 28 inch
cs in diameter at the centre nnd 24 in tho bear
ings—with a hole 10 inches in diameter through
which a stream of cold water is constantly
running.
From the following card which wo find in the
last Federal Union, it will bu seen that Col.
Johnson's connexion with that press is purely
editorial in its character and of a limited nature,
and will! cease on the first of Octobei:
••If. V. Johnson fools that it is due to himself and to iu
friends and patrons, to state in limine, that he »as no pecu
niary interest whatever in the Federal Union, or its patron*
age—that his connexion with it is purely editorial in its
character, and temporary in it* durathin/atul that tie will
retire as soon as Col. Campbell can make his arrangements
to assume his post of labor and duty. It is expected ha
will do so early in October.
This statement is deemed necessary for the correction of
an erroneous impression, which seems to hare been made
upon the minds of some of our coiemporaries. >uch as
have given this error publicity will please publish the
ELECTIONS—ALABAMA,
The splendid achievement ofthe sterling Ds-
mocracy of Alabama will be hailed with joy
and gladness throughout the land as one in the
series of brilliant victories which arc to be won
by the Republicans throughout the full cam
paign in all the States that hold elections this
year. Wo have the entire delegation in Con
gress with the exception of the member from
the Montgomery district: in that, Hilliard
(Whig) has been elected over Cochran (Dem )
by a very small majority, probably not more
than 150. In the Legislature we have si large
majority. Marlin has been elected Governor
over Terry, both Democrats, by a majority of
about 10,000. The whigs had no candidate for
Governor in Alabama.
NORTH CAROLINA.
The news comes in very slowly, as usual.-—
From the returns which have already come in
wo think that the delegation in Congress will
stand, democrats 6, whigs 3. Last year it was
democrats 5, whigs 4. In the Raleigti district,
(laic Romulus M. Sanders) Dobbin (dem.) is
elected over Hnughton (whig) by a majority
of about 1400, which is a democratic gain of
nearly 1200 since the last Congressional elec
tion, and upwards of 600 since the Presidential
election of last year.
In the Wilmington dist. McKay (dem.) has
been elected over Mears, whig, by a large ma
jority. In the Halifax district (late Rayner’s)
the candidates are Biggs (dem ) and Outlaw
(whig). Last fall Clay’s majority in that dis
trict was 726. Now in tho counties heard
from we have gained 66S, leaving in the remai
ning COL.'. n lt 03 only 58 *° overcome. The Rich
mond Enquirer of the 12th says: ‘‘judging
from the run of' rotes, we imagine we have
overcome the heavy Clay ni"joi7'y and secured
the district.” From Indiana, Kentucky and
Tennessee our returns are not sufficient to de
termine how the elections have gone in these
States. So far, however, as wo have seen the
returns the Democrats have gained in all of
them.
Indian Springs.
The number of arrivals at the Indian Springs
from the 1st of May to tho 15th inst. this year,
have been 1386, being a large increase of visi
tors over that of former years. The hotels are
well kept, tho accommodations good, the cli
mate salubrious and healthy, and the company
fine; and at no place in the up country can a
few weeks be spent more pleasantly than at the
Indian Springs,

At a meeting of the Cittern I Executive
Committee of the Democratic party, ut Ath
ens-, on- the 8lh j*»t„ the following resolutions
were adopted :
"Resolved, That the third Saturday in- September next,
be set apart as a day of rejoicing by the friend# of Texas
annexation, on the success of that great national measure r
and ihxt the friends of that policy be requested to meet on
that day, by Senatorial Districts, and celebrate that great
achievement, of the Democracy of Texas and the Union, in
rich manner as may seem suitable to the occasion.**
Resoloed, That Hie Chairman of the Central Committee
cause timely notice of the above resolution to be given In
all the Counties hi the State."
Georgains! Let that just and chivalrous
spirit which so signally rebuked the Federal
party last year in their unholy attempts to de
feat that great national measure be aroused
once more. Let it fire every soul with enthu-
siam, from the centre of the State to its utmos*,
extremities, and enkindle again upon your altars
a zeal in the cause of your principle*, equal
to that which weni out from the ‘‘city of the
Hills,” at the meeting of the 22d of August last.
Your gallant conduct was fully and nobly re
quited on that occasion. It is hailed and ad
mired throughout the union as a paragon of
excellence in the history of popular sovereignty
and while it has won for your an enviable distinc
tion among yout republican brethren of the
Union, it has encircled the escutcheon of your
Stuto with a halo of imperishable renown. Up
then and join in one great and heart cheering
shout for tho Annexation of Texas, and the
rich future of this glorious Union. Will not
the Republicans of this senatorial district be
the first to move in the patriotic celebration 1
will not our friends in Houston and Macon,
Crawford and Upson, Monroe and Pike, Butts
and Jasper, Baldwin and Jones, Pulaski and
Dooly, as'well as in every county in Georgia,
move at once? Truth and justice are with you,
the great Republican party of the country is
with you, all the people except the lew who
have compromised their publick duties as
patriots and freemen are with you. The re
cent elections in other. States show that public
opinion every where is rapidly selling down In
favor of this great national measure, and con
signing its opponents to the kindred tomb of
the Haitford Convention Federalists. And
Georgians, as you were first in the field, and first
■ in the attack, will you not be first in the joys of
victory ?
*'On with the dance,—
Let joy be unconfined.**
Distress! nfg.
What eye w 11 not moisten with commisera
ting tears — what sympathetic heart will not
feel for their misfortunes ? Ttmpora mutantur.
But yesterday the whig party blustered, and
fussed, and swelled, nnd strutted in all the pride
of conscious invincibility, to-day it expire:
victim to the tender sympathies of friendship
and the unmatclnd ingratitude of the American
people to tho great embodiment. The corres
pondent of the Cincinnati Gazette pleads in
advance oJ the defeat of >vhigcry in Indiana, as
follows;
Indianapolis, August 4,1845.
Deat Sirs: I will send you thu result of our
elections as fast as it may be received. I have
but Ibtlu lirapu Unit it will bn favorable to US.
So many whigs arc so comple'ely disgusted at
the idea of Mr. Clay's defeat by such a man,
that I fear there will not be a full vote given.
It will fall short of the November vote at least
twenty or thirty thousand in the State. No
calculation can be made of course. Locofocos
are more apt to turn out election day than
whigs. Possibly it may turn out better than
we expect.
War with Mexico-
The New Oi leans papers of the 10th inst.
contain the following official notice closing the
affairs ofthe Mexican consulate in that city :
Mexican Consulate, >
New Orleans. August 8th, 1845.j
By order of His Excellency tho President
of the Republic, I inform the Mexican citizens
residing in the United States that hi* Excellen
cy has determined that this Consulate lie closed,
and that I return to Mexico, taking with me its
archives, in consequence of the state of our re
lations wi It the United States. In compliance
with this order, I will this day close my office,
and will sad to-morrow for Vera Cruz, on board
the Mexican schooner Relampago.
F. De Akrangoez, Consul.
This may mean war or it may mean with
drawing “in sulks” upon national dignity—to
the people of this country it matters very little
which it is. By an arrival at Pensacola, three
days later intelligence has been received from
Vera Ciuz than that by way of New Orleans.
No mention hoivcver, is made of Mexico hav*
ingdcclared war against the United States.
Punch thus describes the revolution ie the
rural and pastoral world, which is effected by
the multiplication of Rail Roads : “The iron
band of railway enterprise is fast tearing up
by the roots all the pastoral and poetical asso
ciations of your youth; and cottages near
woods, ns well as mossy cells or leafy nooks,
are being superseded by jailway termini.—
Where tho cow once lowed the engine now
screams, and the pipe of the gentle Corydon is
completely put out by the funnel of the loco*
motive. Phillis is sent flying by the power of
steam, and the Hermit of the dale is compell
ed to break his staff or cut his stick, to make
way for the immense staff of officials required
on the railways.”
Correspondence.
From the following correspondence our
Democratic friends in Bibb will be gratified to
learn that Messrs. Strong and Armstrong hare
accepted the nomination tendered them by the
Democratic County Conventiori :
Macon, Ga., Aug. 5, 1845.
To S. ‘M. Strong, Esq., and
Maj. James W. Armstrong :
Gentlemen—At a meeting of tho delegates
appointed by the districts of the county of Bibb,
who assembled this day at the Court House in
this city, you have been unanimously nomina
ted tlie candidates of the Democratic party, to
represent the county in the next Legislature.
The undersigned were appointed a commit
tee to inform you of your nomination, and to
request your acceptance of the same.
Very respectfully,
WM. G. SMITH. )
TIMO. MATTHtWS, > Committee
Macon, August 6,1845.
Gentlemenr E have been duly apprised by
your note of the 5th instant, of the honor the
Democratic party have conferred upon me in
selecting me us one of their candidates t» rep
resent the county of Bibb, iu the ensuing Le
gislature.
In accepting the nomination, allow me to-
tender through you, my grateful acknowledg
ments to the Democracy of Bibb, for the gen-
■erous. confidence they have in tIds instance
manifested towards nie. Be assured, gentle
men, that white 1 remember k with gratitude,
it shall nr the same time be n saljtary incite
ment to devote my humble efforts to the-pre
servation of those great principles for which
we ate at present contending; nrd upon the
continued success and mnintcnunce of which
I solemnly believe depend the piosperity i.nd
and existence of our republican institutions.
' The Baltimore resolutions ore « transeri/tt
of the Constitution
adhere to them that great charter of o’>r rglits
stands in so danger of infraction—the country
in no fear of unjust and oppressive legislation.
Adopted nnd enforced, they inculcate upon the
minds of our legislators a lesson of wisdom
and moderation that will lead to the enactment
of laws invariably securing the ‘‘greatest good
to the greatest number.” They abjure the
idea of a partial legislation that while it fosters
monopolies formed by associated wealth, lean s
the great body of the people beyond the pale
of legislative protection. The spiiit of our
laws should pervade the whole country and in
fuse its invigorating influence into every class
ofsociety. The constitution was never inten
ded by our wise forefathers to bo perverted
from its true intent and meaning, into an in-
instrument of protection to the few, and of op
pression to the many. Revenue alone should
be the standard of taxation. And after sup
plying the necessary wants of the government
all that the laboring classes make, they shoulJ
he allowed to keep nnd apropriate to their
own use. The proceeds of their “sweat and
brow” should not he wrenched from them by
an excess of taxation imposed only to protect
the invested capital of the rich and powerful.
Under the present tariff’ the northern mi nu-
fucturei sai e to the growers ofcotton, ti e “Lion’s
Den.” The tracks are all inwaid ; the plan
ter does not nor cairtiot receive a remunerating
profit for his labor. Under the present ruin
ous condition ofthe cotton market, caused by a
constant drain of the surplus profits of the
planter, (and how small they are in comparison
to what they should be ?) by the tariff laws,
you will unite with ine in the hope that the
day is not far distant when the Whig party wiil
abandon this system of taxation and unite with
usiin the restoration of more just and equal laws.
Men who own these factories and whose in
comes amount to thousands and tens of thou
sands, should not call any longer upon the la
boring classes to contribute to their monopoliz
ing interests.
Upon another great question the Democrat
ic party occupies a position worthy of the best
days of the revolution. I allude to the acqui
sition of Texas and the “extension of the area of
freedom.” But for their patriotic devotion—
their fervent love of freedom—their manly sym
pathies for a young Republic, just struggling
into national existence, Texas would have
been forever lust to the Union, and the South
divested of its richest heritage. So doubtful at
one time seemed the Contest, that the French
minister Guizot decided on maintaining tiie
balance of power between the United States,
England, and Russia. Had this decision been
enforced by-the allied powers, it would have
precipitated every King in Europe upon our
country. They would have attempted, not
only to wrest Texas from our possession but to
have crushed young liberty upon our own soil.
The ‘ holy alliance” as the European despots
are pleased to t#rm it, is an armed league of
Kings formed for the niaintainancc of their
own power, for the prevention of revolutions,
to crush the least incipient movement of their
subjects to rebellion, nnd to perpetuate a dy
nasty of tyrants. They repeatedly interfer
ed, to prevent the French people ftom estab
lishing a free government, and after Greece
had overthrown the tyranny of the Turks,
they compelled her to take a King from the
ancient stock of “blood royals” instead of mag
nanimously extending to ‘.he land of Aristides
and Leonidas n free constitution.
It was when the navies of these three great
powers, England, Russia, and France were
hovering upon our coast* ; when threats of an
armed iateryosilion were constantly hurled
across the Atlantic, when Massachusetts threat
ened to dissolve the Union unless we abantlon-
ed Texus and liberty, that the patriotism of our
people inspired by the holiest cause that ever
animated the breast of man, carried every thing
before it with a force and impetuosity that no
human power could avert.
The result has been both an increase of ter
ritory and national strength. Our own Gov
ernment may hereafter exert a controlling in
fluence on this Continent and no longer submit
to the arbitrary dictations of England or any
other foreign power, while the expansion of
ourterritory will prevent a redundancy of popu
lation, and a monopoly of land. The low
price of land is the safeguard of the poor. In
England, out of fifteen millions of inhabitants,,
there arc but thirty or forty thousand freehold
ers. Here under the blessing of Providence,
we may all own the soil on which we tread ;
and whpn we are gathered to our Father’s re
pose, in the peaceful quiet of our own family
r&veyards, it is reflections like tlese that
ought to make patriots of us all. And I know
that however in the heat of political contest we
may bo excited into unkind feelings towards
each other, that we are alike inspired with
kinder sentiments, and a devoied love of coun-
tr J r *
Respectfully, vour follow citizen,

Upson Superior Court, Angtist Tri m, 1945*
npHE Grand Jury for the county of Upson, make the
1 following presentments:
We have, by committees examined the books of the
Clerks of the Superio*. Inferior, and Courts of Ordinary,
and find them satisfactorily kept.
In like manner we have examined tlie jail, and find the
floor of the basement story in a bad condition, and recom
mend to the Inferior Court a new floor entire. We find
alao the locks unu doors iri bad order, and should be repair
ed forthwith. Iu its present situation we consider it unsafe.
We have examined the books, vouchers, and cash of the
county Treasurer, Col. William D. Woodson, and find his
accounts plainly and di.'tincily kept, and agreeing with his
vouchers. We find a small balance of cash in his hands.
We feel confident that those officers to whom the laws
* have confided patrols, have not discharged their duties.—
We therefore recommend to each a more vigilant and faith
ful execution of the laws, believing as we do that a rigid
enforcement of the patrol law would be a protection to the
good citizens of this community, and suppress vice and
immorality, especially around doggeries.
We regret to find so many cases of the violations of the
law on which we find it necessary lo animadvert, within
the Jimit6 of our county, and feeling an anxiety to perpet
uate that dignity and elevated character as a community,
we have heretofore sustained, do most earnestly solicit all
civil officers to be more vigilant in suppressing riots and
aflirays, believing it to be tlieir sworn duty.
From past experience we believe that itinerant traders,
denominated peal era, do a great deal of injury to this
community; that fire brands are thrown among us, and
our black population are excited to steal and p’underjand
we are not content to fold our arms and shut our mouths
in such a crisis. And before closing our duties, we would
recommend the approarhing Legislature to abolish the
present law, regulating l’edlars. and cst&bMsb thereof, the
original, requiring a licence of $2,000, and w*a more espe
cially call upon the persons who may represent this county
in the next General Assembly, to introduce a bill to accom
plish this desirable object, and ask the voters of this county
to instruct their members accordingly.
In taking leave of his Honor, Judge Tracy, ws most cor
dially commend him for the faithful, upright, and able man
ner in which he has discharged the duties of his oflice, and
his urbanity and kindness to us during the present service.
We also tender to the Solicitor Genera], Samuel Hall,
Esq., our thanks for his faithfulness as an officer, and the
courtesy he has extended to this body during the present
term of this Court, believing him well qualified for the
station he occupies.
We request these our presentment to be published in
the Suutheru Itecorder and Macon Telegraph.
