The Klilledgevillc Democratic
MEETING.
We rejoice to see the unanimity and good feel
ing with which thoso illustrious representatives of
Georgia Democracy have adopted the re.-olutions
published in to-day’s Telegraph. These resolutions
meet the case exactly, and carry their own nrgu
ment and vindication with them. They nrc more
over, admirably conceived in respect to tone and
spirit, as well as sound and national in principle,
and are therefore unassailable in all points. They
furnisli from the Cincinnati platform itself the true
interpretation of the Kansas act—a sound exposi
tion of the non-intervention principle, and they
show wherein Walker in his administration affairs
has violated the act. They show moreover, that
it is alike important to nil sections to maintain the
act in its integrity, and in their appeal to the
Northern as well as Southern Democracy to vindi
cate a great principle essential to national harmo
ny—as important to one section as to the other
equally invaluable to both—they display a confi
dcnce in the Northern Democracy which has been
well merited and will not be misplaced. We
believe it is the desire of the Democratic party.
North and South—the desire, too, of the National
administration, to carry out this Kansas act in
honest purpose, to devolve the wholo burden of
mend Council, to authorize him to put a shingle roof | the slavery controversy there upon tho people
’ thereof. This purpose has been embarrassed, ob
structed and delayed by outside interference and
by the unexpected intermeddling of officious fed

Death in the Legislature.
Mr. Kenan, of Baldwin, on the 12th, announced
in the House the death of Hon. Duncan J. Davis,
a representative from Early county, who died sud
denly of Pneumonia. His remains were followed
by the Legislature to tho Railway station, and a
committee of two from each House accompanied
them home.
The Mount Vernon Fund.
Mr. Dawson delivered a very eloquent Lecture
last Wednesday evening, in the vestry of the
Methodist church. Owing to the facts of the pre
occupation of tho usual lecture halls, and of public
attention by various other engagements and at
tractions, Mr. Dawson’s audience fell far 6hort of
what it would otherwise have been. Ho has there
fore, at the solicitation of many of the audience,
who were highly interested in his presentation of
the subject, promised to revisit onr city shortly
and deliver another lecture. Due notice will be
given of time and place, and we will not permit
ourself to doubt that the Ladies of Macon will dis
play an equal zeal and interest in the matter to
that shown by other cities of the South and of
Georgia.

From the National Democrat.—Extra.
;c and Enthusiastic Meeting.
Lecompton, (Kansas Territory,)
October 31, 1857.
Agreeable to a call for a meeting, made
through the columns of the National Democrat,
the people from different portions of the Ter
ritory assembled at Lccompton to-day, for the
purposo of taking action in relation to a meet
ing styled n “democratic” meeting, held at
Lccompton on the 20th inst., in which resolu
tions were pased denunciatory of Governor
Walker and Secretary Stanton for their action
in reference to tho gigantic frauds attempted
to ho practised upon tlio ballot-box at tho Ox
ford precinct, in Johnson connty.
Col. Ely Moore, formerly of New York city,
was elected President.
Hon. Ilush Elmore, of Alabama, Gen. Wm.
Brindlc, of Pennsylvania, R. B. Nelson, esq.,
of Virginia, Hon. John Spicer, of New York,
Virginia, and W. A. Jones, of Virginia, were
elected vice-presidents.
D. T. Mitchell, of Kentucky, Wm. Stevens,
of Ohio, F. F. Bnincr, of Pennsylvania, and
John Shannon, of Ohio, were appointed secre
taries.
The Chair having explained the object of the
meeting, it was, upon motion,
Resolved, That a committee of three, con
sisting of General Findley Patterson, of Penn
aylvania, Col. J. M. Coe, of Wisconsin, and
Wm. P. Lamb, of Kentucky, be appointed ;
which committee immediately retired, and, af
ter an {tbscnco of some minntes, reported the
following preamble and resolutions; which
were uuanimously adopted:
Whereas a small party of men, not exceed
ing twenty-five in all, in a meeting held at
this place, since the result of the late territori
al election was known, have deemed it proper
to pass and publish to the pcoplo of tho United
States, a series of reoslutions denunciatory of
tho course of policy pursued by Robert J.
Walker, Governor, and Frederick P. Stanton,
Secretary of the Territory of Kansas, rclativo
to our Into election, calculated to mislead and
deceive tho citizens of the United States; it is
eluding tho mail routes to the Pacific, and
takes in the West Indies, Central America nnd
j a portion of tho Southern Continent. The ra-
| pidity with which boundary lines change and
colonization progresses in these days, renders
| a new Map every two or three years indispen
sable.
A Financial Development.
About the middle of last month, Mr. Thomas
Allibonc, President of tho Bank of Pennsylvania,
resigned his office nnd left for Europe very sud
denly, under plea of rapidly declining health. His
resignation was accepted with the thanks and deep
sympathy of the directors, but after three weeks
absence the disagreeable discovery is made that he
is a defaulter to the amount of upwards of $200,000.
The stock of the Bank in market is now worth
8 cents.
Gen. Wm. Walker.
A telegraphic dispatch from New Orleans, of the
11th instant, in the Nashville papers, says :
“ Gen. William Walker is off. no appeared be

this Territory, without any view to promotion
of tho cause of party politics, should thus meet
together nnd proclaim in unmistakable terms
to the people of the States and the world their
views and sentiments: Therefore, be it
Resolved, That mainly through the instru
mentality of tho just and patriotic proclama
tion is ucd by Governor Walker previous to
the election rightfully construing tho laws pro
scribing the qualifications of a voter in Kansas,
the people had secured to them the enjoyment
of the elective franchise. and a peaceful solu
tion of much of tho difficulty that threatened to
involve our country in general ruin.
Resolved, That wo most heartily endorse the
rejection by Gov. Robert J. Walker and Sec-
rct.’uy Stanton, of the fraudulent nnd informal
returns from Johnson and McGee counties, in
this Territory, by which means they have done
their duty’ in establishing the purity of the bal-
lot- box, in Kansas, and furnished to us urn
inistakablo evidence of tho sincerity of their
professions and promises to defend the rights
of this Territory; and that wc hereby pledge
ourselves, in solid column, to standby them in
defence of the people’s rights.
Resolved, That wc hereby acknowledge our
indebtedness to James Buchanan, President
of tho United States, for the selection of a Go
vernor nnd Secretary for Kansas who have the
capacity to understand, and the high moral
courage necessary to defend tho rights of its
citizens.
Resolved, That wo call on Congress at the
earliest possible moment to appoint a commit
tee of investigation, with power to examine by
whom and where tho fictitious nnd fraudulent
returns that imported to have come from pre
cincts in Johnson and McGee counties were
made, that offenders may be'brought to jus
tice.
After the adoption of the above resolutions,
the lion. F. 1’. Stanton, who happened to ho
present, was loudly called for, and responded
in a most eloquent, able, and unanswerable
argument in defence of Gov. Walker's exposi
tion of tho tux law, and the action of the Gov
ernor and liimselfin relation to the fraudulent
vote of tho Oxford precinct, and closed amid
he plaudits of the multitude.
The meeting was occasionally enlivened by
rich strains of music discoursed by the splen
did brass band from the city of Lawrence.
The 1’resident. Col. Moore,being then called
for, arose and addressed the crowd in his most
hnppy and inimitable style for a few moments,
at the dose of which the meeting adjourned

Hunger Mobs.
The N. York parks and streets were throng
ed almost daily last week with collections of
unemployed laborers who were harrangued in
a very inflammatory style, and threatened in
response a good deal of violence and mischief.
The papers of tho city treat these demonstra
tions very lightly, hut as winter advances and
cold comes with destitution and hunger, the
city will he fortunate if real disorder and vio
lcnco doe3 not occur. The Government, un
der advice of Collector Schell has quartered U.
S. troops in the Treasury Building. Threats
had been made of an attack upon it.
Atlicus Factory Burnt.
Wc are sorry to learn from the Banner that
on Friday night last, the Athens Factory, to
gether with its machinery, was entirely de
stroyed by fire- By tho exertions of tho fire
companies and the citizens, the offices and the
houses of the operatives were saved from tho
devouring element. The loss is supposed to
be sixty or seventy thousand dollars. There
is but little doubt that the fire was the work of
an incendiary.
By this calamity a number of poor families
who were dependent on their work in this Fac
tory for support, liavo been thrown out of em
ployment.
Withdrawn from Sale.

day) though not quite so heavy or constant as
the rain of last Monday. So far in the season
wc are without a killing frost, and up to this
day, cotton, in this region, has been opening
and maturing. Wc suppose this at least will
be the lust week of the season in which such a
statement can be made-
The Legislature and the Suspend-
ED BANKS.
The House Committee on Banks, through their
Chairman, Mr. GorJon, of Savannah, submitted a
report on Friday, accompanied with two bills.—
Tho first bill recites in way of Preamble, as follows:
Whereas, the Banks of this State have generally
adopted the policy of a suspension of specie pay
ments ns a measure of protection; and whereas it
becomes the duty of the Legislature to give such
relief to them, nnd protection to the Treasury and
citizens as will best subserve the common interests.
“ Protection/” to whom or to wliat? To the
people or to themselves? And is it under stress of
obligations imposed by tlio adoption of tills “mea
sure of protection" that tlio Legislature of Georgia
is coming to the relief of tho Banks? Wchope not.
There is not a defaulting debtor in the State who
could not plead a similar obligation. We trust tho
Legislature, whatever it may do with the bill, wifi
at least drop the preamble. At best, it is needless.
The bill then provides that the Governor shall sus
pend legal provisions against the Banks on condi
tion :
1. That they shall furnish security for the ulti
mate redemption of all bills received by tlio Stato
for taxes, and meanwhile redeem such portion of
them in specie as tho Treasurer may require for the
public service.
2. That after the 1st day of next January no bank
shall issue a bill under tho denomination of $5,00.
3. That during suspension no bank shall declare
over a dividend to be limited, or buy, soil, or spec
ulate in each others’ bills.
4. That all shall resume payments on the 1st No
vember, 1858, or within thirty days aftcra general
resumption by the banks, if anterior to next Nor.
and in event of failure or subsequent suspension,
to be subject to the provisions of the act ofDcc. 18,
1840, which is re-enacted and declared in force.
6. The Banks to publish on or before said 1st
November, the fact and date of such resumption,
and to hare each in its vault, at that date, in gold
and silver, an amount equal to one-third of its cir
culation, and to publish at the same time a full
statement of its condition under oath.
C. Violation of this act to work a forfeiture of
the Charter.
7. Each bank thereafter to publish a monthly
statement of its condition, under penalty of $1,000
fine lor neglect.
The second bill prohibits the offer, after 1st Jan
uary next, for circulation, of any bill of another
State, less than $5, under penalty of a fine of $500.
Such, concisely worded as possible, arc tho fea
tures of this relief measure emanating from the
Committee on Banks; and it is said it will probably
pass. The bill certainly proposes some good, and
our principal objection to it would hang upon a
point of principle, assailed in tho preamble. There
are, we cheerfully admit extenuating circumstan
ces attending iho suspension—the extraordinary
suddenness of the financial catastrophe is one of
them—but the suspension was no less a violation
of faith with the people and tho State—its neces
sity, in respect to the condition of the banks them
selves, was problematical—it could not have exis
ted had the banks been in line of duty. With all
due deference to the Committee, it is no sort of a
“measure of protection” to a community for tho
Banks of tho pcoplo thereof to refuso to discharge
their pecuniary obligations. There U not now ex
isting one solitary reason for exonerating, compli
menting or relieving the banks on account of this
suspension, which will not (unless the banks of is
sue arc restricted, reduced in number and finally
abolished,) at some future time again arise to de
mand relief from the very penalties of suspension
provided by the Committee's bill! The bill itself
and the facts which call for it furnish a striking, a
most impressive exposition of this banking system.
Suppose the penalties provided by the Committee’s
bill were already on the Statute Book, would the
Committee propose to enforce i them ? Certainly
not 1 So far from it, they arc requiring the Gov
ernor to “suspend” all legal proceedings against the
defauiting banks. The papers condemn his Excel
lency for naming such a tiling—the Committee,
though they treat future suspension ns a misde
meanor, style present suspension “ a measure of
protection,” for the adoption of which the banks
arc entitled to legislative relief 1
Well, ten to fifteen years hence, unless banks
arc abated, another suspension is certain to come.
Their case again comes before the House Commit
tee for relief from penalties enacted note. Will
that Committee propose, under anything like pre
sent circumstances, to enforce the penalties ? Why
it will be just as “mad" a proposition then, as it is
pronounced to be now! What are these penalties
then, but a mere delusive show, unworthy the
Statute book and tho Legislature ? Now and then,
a stray wild cat, failing out of time, may fee! the
weight of the law, but as a “measure of protection'
to tbo people against a dishonored and irredeema
ble currency, they arc idle, because—what?—the
Banks are stronger than the law l They wield in
terests too powerful to be controlled by sound
general legislation, or sound public morality.—
When they all violate faith and suspend together,
to enforce law against them is said to be tlio very
height of mad destructiveness! Wliat folly, then,
to pile up penalties against an interest which is
practically paramount to law ?
Some of tlio provisions of tho bill, however,
promise good. The best one is that doing away
with bank notes, under the denomination of five
dollars. Change will bo scarco for a while, but
the inconvenience will be temporary. There is
gold and silver enough hoarded in every county to
furnisli all tho small change needed, and it will come
forth so soon as small traffic is carried on entirely
with precious metals. Another valuable feature of
the bill is that providing for monthly statements
of condition, which will force the banks to remain
in presentable shape, instead of having twelve
months to arrange to be in that condition once a
year l
But the startling necessity which exists, in the
judgment of the Legislature to stylo in complimen
tary phrase “ a measure of protection,” what the
Statute book already punishes as a misdemeanor—
what they propose to punish in the future as a
misdemeanor—the patent futility of the proposition
itself, both in tho present nnd future, ought to
awaken serious reflection. Thcro is no need of
these hanks, and wc believe they arc a practical
curse to the country. Every body talks about
sectional independence—independence of the
North—as a tiling greatly to be desired, but there
is nothing more fatal to tho pecuniary indepen
dence of the South than the way our banks do
business. They are merely exchange shops on
Now York, to banish the precious metals from this
section. They turn loose a quantity of stuff, the
functions of which, but for them, would be per
formed by gold and silver, dollar for dollar. Tho
planter has the commodity to bring it here—and
there is plenty of it in tho world, to come. With
it, lie is secure of its value—at least if any body
should debase or adulterate it, he could complain
and prosecute the offender. JVote, he lias no sc
curity. The banks debase bis money ten cents in
the dollar, and he is told it is a very fine thing
they have done—“ a measure of protection.” He
is “mad”—a destructionist, if ho doubts it, and tlio
Governor is awfully “ reckless” for thinking the
law should be put in force. This is a queer world
of ours 1
Georain Academy lor H«c Blind.-—
EXAMINATION
An examination of the Pupils connected with
this benevolent Institution took place last \\ ednes-
day, and every one piescnt was gratified with the
proficiency displayed, not only in every elementary
branch of science, but also In music. There were
some fine voices among the pupils and a surpris
ing degree of aptitude both in vocal and instru
mental music. It was a grateful spectacle, too, to
witness the contented and happy demeanor of these
unfortunates, to whom the hand of benevolence
lias opened new and unexpected treasures of en
joyment to compensate in part tho deprivation of
God’s crowning gift of sight. That benevolence
which penetrates the intellectual gloom—the dark
vacuity of the born blind, and, like a glorious sun
beam, furnishes it with light, knowledge, the
means of fructification and enjoyment, needs no
eulogy—it speaks its own commendation.
Wc desire most earnestly to invoke the atten
tion of our Legislature to the condition of this in
stitution, and to say wliat we are sure they will not
deny, that among the various claims upon the
State Treasury, whether of Railroad improvement
or public charity which are pressed upon that body,
none can present a stronger appeal than their Stato
Institution for tho Blind. It is proposed to take
tlio pupils to Milledgcvillc sometime during the ses
sion, and the improvement visible in the limited
number which the stinted accommodations of the
Academy permit it to receive, will most cogently
back the application of the Trustees.
The last session of the Legislature appropriated
$20,000 for a necessary “building,” as specified in
one part of the act, and “buildings” in another.—
After the passage of this act, the Trustees pro"
cccdcd into enquiries and plans lor the crcctionofa
structure commensurate with the designs of the
Academy. They arc able now to accommodate
only eighteen pupils ; but they found thatprovi-
sion would be necessary for from CO tfyTW)—tho
former number of applications having been actual
ly received. These pupils are of both sexes, and
require, therefore, corresponding arrangements in
the building, and increased size. They found that
substantial buildings for the convenient accommo
dation of this number and the teachers, could not
be erected for less than upwards of $50,000. Un
der these circumstances, and considering tho then
high price of labor and building materials, and be
ing unwilling to incur the responsibility of plans’
FROM MILLEDGEVILLF,.
Batik Su.tj“ -''"iis.—In regard to l ' Bank Sus
pensions,” there is such a diversity of opinion, that
I have but little to' say. My impression is, from
present indications, that the Legislature will sus
tain and legalize their act in this particular, for a
given period of time.
Tlie Committee on Banks have made a very fa
vorable report, and presented a bill which provides
for a resumption by first November next, or in the
event of a general resumption, within thirty days
thereafter. This bill of course is subject to amend
ments, but should the legislature, in their foresight
and wisdom, after a more thorough investigation
of the affairs and solvency of the banks, deem tho
passage of any law legalizing their suspension, as
a matter of public policy, it will be still greate
policy to be as indulgent as tlic nature of circum
stances will allow, but in no instance should they
transcend tlio bounds of prudence by granting an
unlimited period for resumption.
If the banks,' as lias often been alleged, have
been acting with a wanton and reckless disregard
of tlio privileges of their charters, by speculation
at the North, on Southern men and Southern pa
per, they should receive the condemnation of all
classes of our citizens, and it is the imperative du
ty of tho representatives of the people to see to it,
that they bo held to a strict accountability for all
their actings and doings in tlio premises.
Yours, &c.,
HIBERNIA.
which, however harmonious with the designs
the Institution nnd the Legislature, did not harmo.
nise with the appropriation, they made no use
it. They are now about to ask an appropriation
which shall be sufficient to carry out the objects
of the Institution, and to furnish the Blind
Georgia with the means of instruction. Does their
object need with the Legislature of Georgia more
than a fair statement and explanation ?
“ Slave Cases.”
While Northern white labor stands idlo and
aghast with fright in apprehension of a total lack
of food, shelter, clothing and fire during a rigo
rous winter—while they are making a vain appeal
for bread, or threatening to extort by force and
violence what cannot be obtained by compassion,
the Northern abolitionists arc still seeking to res
cue our well-fed servants from the “ horrors” of
slavery. We clip accounts of two proceedings of
the sort from Northern papers. The first occurred
in Cincinnati, and is thus chronicled by the N. Y.
Tribune :
Tiie Slave Case in Cincinnati.—The telegraph
mentioned yesterday that three slaves—two girls
and a man—belonging to Mr. Thornton Wethers,
who was on his way from Missouri to Virginia, had
been taken into custody at Cincinnati on a habeas
corpus by Abolitionists, with the view of setting
them free. Tho Commercial of that city says
When the writ was executed tho children seemed
overwhelmed with grief. They clung to their
master with frantic energy, and resisted efforts to
separate them from him. Their pathetic shrieks
and sobs melted the hearts of witnesses, but no
effort was made to hinder the officer in the dis
charge of his duty. The “ boy,” who appears to
be about thirty years of ago, resented the interfe
rence between him and Ids master as impertinent,
and vehemently declared his desire to be “let
alone.” He wanted to go to Virginia, (Fauquier
County), where lie has a wife. After the conclu
sion of proceedings in Court, he reiterated liis de
sires, and declared his intention to go with his
master. The trial resulted in the deliverance of
the slaves to their master, by Judge Carter.
The second occurred in Lawrence, Massachu
setts, and was decided in Boston. The account is
taken from the Boston Journal. Chief Justice
Shaw's exposition of law by the “ wishes of Betty”
is something novel in jurisprudence. There was
more than one “ Betty” in Court at the time :
A Slave Case.—Mr. Lewis Sweet and family, ac
companied by a slave girl named Betty, have been
spending several months travelling North. Their
last stopping place was Lawrence, where a writ of
habeas corpus was obtained, on the ground that
Betty was restrained of her liberty. The parties’
were brought to the city to-day, and a hearing was
had before Chief Justice Shaw. Mr. and Mrs.
Sweet, who were present, stated that they would
cheerfully abide by Betty’s own choice in the mat
ter. After tho case had been stated by the respec
tive counsel—J. A. Andrews, Esq., for tEe petition
ers in the writ, and Mr. Watson, of Lawrence, for
the claimants—Judge Shaw retired with the woman
to an adjoining room, for the purpose of ascertain
ing her wishes, without bias from the presence of
those around her. On returning, the Judge sta
ted that it was Betty’s voluntary decision to re
turn with her master to Tennessee, and the Court

Many of the mills nnd factories in New

them the Union Manufacturing Co., of Nor

Print Works at Fall river, it is believed, will

Hon. Geo. S. Hawkins’ Wit.
The Mobile Tribune in speaking of “Witty
and Witless” has the following; The other
illustration, it says,that we have in mind is that
of Judge Hawkins, the present representative
elect to Congress from the State of Florida—a
man, by the way. brimful of genuine wit.
During the war with the Florida Indians lie
commanded a volunteer company. On one oc
casion they fell upon a party of the enemy
concealed in a swamp. The captain sprang
upon a log (with more valor than discretion.)
waved his sword and cheered his men to the
charge. Just then lie was shot down. One
of his officers ran to ask if ho was much hurt.
“Not very badly,” said Hawkins, “just about
enough to send mo to Congress!” The prcdic-
has now been verified.
Judgo Hawkins tells this upon himself,
While a candidate for the Territorial Senate
from the Western District of Florida: A little
Frenchman in one of tho remote and thinly
peopled counties of the District had promised
him a world of personal service in the way of
electioneering in his behalf, hut when the vote
of the county was returned, tho Judgc’scolumn
was a blank—not a vote for him in the entire
county. A few weeks after, lie met Mr. Cra-
pean and taxed him with deception. The
Frenchman was indignant. ‘Sar,’ says he, ‘I
tell you no lie—I do my best for you. I get
zc horse, and I ride over ze county, and I say
to zc peoples vill you vote for mine friend, zc
judge, and za all say no, wc will he durned if
wc do.’ ‘But,’ says tho judge, ‘You did not
even vote for mo yourself.’ ‘Ah Monsieur,
mine friend, you anticipate.’ When I gets
home, I shuts minesclf up in mine room and
lectionccr with minesclf one, two, three day
and I say to minesclf vill you vote for mine
friend, zc judge, hut, par clieu I not able to get
mine own consent to vote for you.’
The New Y'ork Express says that one of the
most remarkable effects of the “ panic” is to
be seen in the fact that while New York State,
in November last, gave eighty thousand plu
rality for Fremont, in November,1857, it gave
fifty-two thousand majority for the Democrats.
For tho Telegraph
Banks and Brown.
Mr. Clisby.—I see the Bank men and their
presses arc down upon Gov. Brown for his
wise and patriotic viewa touching the Banks
Well, I assured the people when he was nomi
nated, that lie was as honest as good old Troup
and would do for Governor ; but I did not ex
pcct the Banks would so soon start him for
President; hut I knoiv ho will do first rate for
that, too, after Douglass. I want them to
pitch into the “little giant” a spell first, and
thon wc, the people, will go for Brown. The
Banks have not made a President since thoy
made old Hickory, and the consequence is, wc
have had none since of much account. Keep
after Brown, gentlemen, with a sharp stick-
till youcomcr him in the White House !
But seriously, Mr. Editor, is it not refresh
ing to have a Governor who is not afraid to
speak the truth, and do his duty without the
fear of rotten corporations before his eyes ?
What are Banks made for? Why have
the people, (unwisely I admit,) granted them
such immense privileges, and made it penal
for you and I, to exercise those privileges ?■
Why have they the right to issue their notes
to the amount of several hundred million of dol
lars, without interest, and without a dime’s
consideration paid? Why, simply because
they premised, when the people gave them the
charter for those privileges, and also put that
promise into the] face of their Bills, that they
would pay to the people, when they should get
in distress for money, the amount promised on
thoso Bills, in the legal tender of the United
States. This was the only consideration for
their, charters! Well, after owing the peo
ple on those Bills for ten, twenty, or fifty
years, without interest, is it hard, that when
our other creditors sue us, and put the Sheriff
after us with Executions, endorsed “collect in
gold and silver,” I say, is it hard if wc go to
the Banks, so long our debtors, and who have
all that gold and silver locked up in their
vaults, and modestly say, “here is the Sheriff
about to sell the little home of my wife and
children, and my last servant, that helps my
sick family, because he will not take your
Bills, but demands legal money, and my pro
perty will be sacrificed for a trifling debt, be
cause there is no specie with my friends to
make it bring its valuc-please help me by pay
ing these Bills?” Must we ■he spurned from
the doors of thesd proud Shylocks, as I saw
poor men spurned in 1840, with the cool reply
wc have suspended, we cannot help you,”—
shoving the door in their faces. Now, Gov
ernor Brown simply says, “this is wrong, I
cannot sanction it.” And mark my word,
from the mountains to the sea, there will go up
a shout of the people, “It is wrong, and shall
not be!” And let the Press and the Repre
sentatives of the people beware how they gain
say that shout!
Why should there be a Bank suspension ?
It is no answer to say, because there is a fi
nancial pressure. That was the very time,
gentlemen, we expected you to pay and fulfill
your promise, when we gave you such valua
ble franchises; we did not expect you to pay
us when we are not in need of money.
It is no answer, but a shallow pretense, to
say, you suspend to prevent specie going
North; when the average price of specie in
New York at this time, is only one half per
cent, and which will not pay for freight, insu
rances, and other expenses of its transfer; and
besides, if the Banks continue their suspen
sion, so that Bills of Exchange cannot be had,
equal to specie, Northern creditors will collect
all their debts out of the people in g3ld and sil
ver; and where arc they to get it? Tho
Banks reply, “we don’t care, that is your look
out.” Gov. Brown says, “this is wrong,”—
tho people shout, “it is wrong.” Who ever
heard of a Bank, conducted honestly, being
broke by the people ? No one! Tho people
don’t want the specie for good Bills. Nay,
they feel a sympathy for a Bauk that tries to
do its duty. They will not run upon such a
Bank, nor countenance it in others. Look at
tho Banks that have not suspended, are they
run down ? It is rotten carcasses that th 0
pcoplo dislike the smell of, and it is at them
the Governor makes wry faces.
The fact is, no ono can read the Constitu.
tion of the United States and not see this was
intended to he a hard money government; and
that where it prohibits the States from issuing
Bills of credit,” it meant nothing more nor
less, than Bank Bills of money currency.—
And like [the history of corrupt usurpation in
all ages, the States have whipped the Devil
round the stump, (to use a common hut forci
ble term,) by granting this power to individu-
If a majority of tho Judges of tho Su
premo Court of tho United States arc not sold
the corporations, they will decide, whenev-
tlic question is fairly made before them, that
all Banks of issue are unconstitutional.
If there are enough Brown men in our Leg-
ialnture to pass it, let them put through an
amendment to our constitution, prohibiting
Banks of issue, and the circulation of paper
money within the State. Do this, and the se
veral millions of hard money which these rot
ten rags have driven into foreign countries,
will return to Georgia, and expel from her soil
forever, the abominable humbug of
BANK SUSPENSION.
A meeting of tlio Boston Board of Trade was
held on Wednesday evening last, at which the
repeal of the usury laws, and the modification
of the banking system, by having only one
bank of issue for the State, with the bills based
on specie or State securities, was advocated.
Resolutions were also presented favoring the
forwarding of produce from the West in pay
ment of bills, in view of the present disorder
ed state of exchange,
From the Federal Union, Extra.

CAl’ITOL.
Milledi’.kviu.i!, 10th Nov., is:,7.

ing of members of the Legislature, visitors, and

Gov. Johnson, on assuming the duties of the
Chair, addres-ed tho Convention for a few minutes

est and eloquent exhortation to continue in the
great and glorious purpose of defending the Con
stitution and upholding the rights of the South by
maintaining the ascendancy of tho Democratic Par
ty of the Union against the attack of Abolition fa
natics.
On resuming ids seat the Hon. A. H. Stephens

The committee having retired, in a short tima re
turned and reported the following resolutions which
were unanimously adopted :
1st. Besolved, That this meeting rc-affirms their
approbation of, and ardent attachment to, the prin
ciples of the Kansas and Nebraska act, and of the
Cincinnati Platform, in relation thereto, and that
in view of the state of affairs in Kansas, wc recur
with especial emphasis to the following resolutions
of that Platform^B^^^^^H
■ 1. Resolved, That claiming fellowship with, and
desiring the co-operation of all who regard the pre
servation of the Union under the Constitution as
the paramount issue—and repudiating all sectional
parties and platforms concerning domestic slavery,
which seek to embroil the States and incite to trea
son and armed resistance to law in the Territories;
and whose avowed purposes, if consummated—
must end in civil war and disunion—the American
Democracy recognise and adopt the principles con
tained in the organic laws establishing the Territo
ries of Kansas and Nebraska as embodying the on
ly sound and safe solution of tho “slavery question”
upon which the great national idea of this whole
country can repose its determined conservatism of
the Union—Non interference by Contjress with sla
very in State and Territory, or in the District of
Col umbia.
2. That this was the basis of the Compromises of
1850—confirmed by both the Democratic and Whig
parties in national Conventions—ratified by the
people in the election of 1852—and rightly applied
to the organization of Territories in 1854.
8. That by the uniform application of this Demo
cratic principle to the organization of territories,
and to the admission of new States, with or without
domestic slavery as they may elect, the equal rights
of all the States will be preserved intact—the orig
inal compacts of the Constitution maintained invio
late—and the perpetuity and expansion of thisUnion
insured to its utmost capacity of embracing in peace
and harmony, every future American State that
may be constituted or annexed with a republican
form of government.
Resolved, That we recognize the right of the
icoplo of all the Territories, including Kansas and
Nebraska, acting through the legally and fairly ex
pressed will of a majority of actual residents, and
whenever the number of their inhabitants justifies
it, to form a Constitution with or without domes
tic slavery, and be admitted into tho Union upon
terms of perfect equality with the other States.
2d. Be it further Resolved, by this meeting—
That the principles and sentiments embodied and
set forth in President Buchanan’s Inaugural Ad
dress, being in conformity with the above and fore
going resolves, meet our cordial approval; and his
general administration thus far, meets our like ap-
provaL
3d. Resolved, That the position of Gov. Walker
in liis Inaugural Address, in throwing the weight
of his official opinion, founded upon climate, &c,
against the Southern side of the question in the
Territory, in proclaiming that the Constitution of
Kansas should be submitted for ratification, as the
only mode of adoption when “the legally and fair
ly expressed will of the majority of the actual rcsi
dents” of the Territory, might determine upon an-
other, and in declaring the class of voters to whom
only it should be submitted, when “the legally and
fairly expressed will of a majority of the people
might determine otherwise, was in plain, palpable,
and dangerous violation of the principles of the
Kansas Act, as set forth and embodied in the fore
going resolutions.
4th, Resolved. That in our judgment, from the
lights before us, this conduct on the part of Gov.
Walker, as well as liis late illegal interference with
the returns of election in Kansas, require his remo
vaL
5th. Resolved, That whenever a territory ap
plies for admission as a State into the Union, with
constitution republican in form, and adopted in
jursuanco of the requirements of law, Congress
ias no power to inquire into the matter of such
constitution, nor into the manner of its adoption
further than to see that it embodies the legally
an-* fairly expressed will of the majority of the peo
pic, ascertained in such way as they may have le
gally determined for themselves, and we regard
any interference by Congress, with either the mat
ter oifthc manner as above stated, as equally un
constitutional and dangerous to the rights of the
States.
Cth. Resolved, That wc regard a strict and rigid
adherence to these principles, without looking to
the actual results of their practical operation, as cs
sential to the peace and safety of tlio Union, as
well as tiie rights of tho South, and wc look, not
only to the Southern Democracy, but to the North
ern Democracy, to see to it, that they are firmly
maintained and carried out iu good faith, in prac
tice as well as theory.
Upon loud and repeated calls, the Hon. Alex. H
Stephens ascended the stand and for one hour and
a half, with an eloquence unrivalled and a power
of argument unanswerable enchained the attention
of the vast auditory, crowding floor, vestibule and
gallery.
After concluding, tho Convention adjourned.
