Then on her western b.irdpr* we behold <he first navigable waters which find their ws% from th. same monnrain region to the Meairan Gat if. aft**r winding through her whole length irom North to South. 1 Jins placed, she t* constituted by tier poaitton the key «»uno of the long arch ot th" maritime States of our Union, which from her op poeite side, stretch ont respective!v along tne shores of the Ocean, and of the gulf This pe cuiiarity ot position, is a circumstance ot great moment in «ftimntit>g tl-.e ■upmiori't of l«et na tural advantages; for it necessarily renders her territory the pathway, and her seaports the outlet ol .ol that portion o! the commerce and tia’.el <>( the Sontbw c*trrn bstaie which may be tempte 1 to prefer an Atlantic port to encountering the danger, circuity rind expense o! the navuration through the Gulf, and around the peninsula ot Florida.

The prompt ttnde. the confidence and energy with which she I thus embarked in the great work of uniting, bv a e.vr.prehcnstve and indicionslv conceiv' ands heme of internal improvements, her commercial cities on the sea coast an I in the interior, with the navi gable waters which pour iirni the Mississippi, were amply w an anted by the signal advantages tor Mteli a connexion, which nature had bestowed on her. For in her favor the great Tennessee river, after winding its course far down to the south, and wooing her embraces by its near aproach, turns a wny to the west and northwest, beckoning us to commerce 011 its flood with the Ohio and Mis s sippi. And in her favor, moreover, the mountain chain which stretches across the western pathway of all the other Atlantic states, from New York to our own territory, is broken and dispersed within our confines freeing our route to the west at once from circuity an 1 any considerable obstacle. Is it not then manifest, that when our hues of railroads now in rapid progress ofexecuiion, shall be com pletr.d and thrown open to use through their whole 'ength, Georgia will be, able to enter upon the competition for w. 'iern trade under circum stances of decided advantage as to distance, acces sibility and expense, over every other Atlantic state ! To these highly auspicious circumstances, other considerations of powerful influence arc to be added, which cannot fail to make the scale pre ponderate in her favor, at least as against her great Northern rivals. Their channels of the trade throughout a large portion ol the year must for ever be exposed to the formidable obstruction of ice and snow. Ours will be peteniallv open and free from all impediments. And -,* i nine; the transmontane states of the M e . m i Atlantic states ot the North, have hi.,;’ ■ l and climates, and are also destined to n ve ulti mately kindred manufactures aud imlo . v of ve rv description—-and it clearly follows tiia; they cannot furnish a markrl of consbmfr'on for each j other's fabrics and productions; for it is manifest ly absurd that countries producing like commod ities of commerce, should carry on a trade with each other in those commodities, sot the purpose ot domestic consumption. Hence the onh in duoement that can permanently direct the West ward trade to the Northern states and si ip arts, will be the advantage ot rising their sea .its as . mediums of commercial interchange with other sections ot the 1 nion, and with foreign countries. | ; 1 his advantage the seaports of G. or* is will lie a- \ i t»le to furnish equally with those of the North; j j i'ml in addition to it, the difference ot climate, soil arid production, which characterise the South and 1 \\ t'st, must forever render the South a great market of consumption (or Western commodities and the West, in theothe* hand, as soon as sJic | shall engage largely in m * n(actme>, a likt mar , ket for our own great Southern staple. As* tilth j iv then, it the facilities of reaching our Southern markets, and of trading 1 hrough them v. ith ti rest S ot the world, be but equal to those of getting to the Northern Atlantic cities, the W est cannot hesitate to which to award the preference.

The committee have dwelt thus fully on the tendency *,f opening channels of trade with the W ost and Sout.i* ■1 to attract a direci trade of our scafiorts, because it is the deliberate • onciu B ion at which tnw iiavc arrive I. that no othet means or policy which we * an etnpluv will produce such a result to any valuable extent As long a the commerce of Georgia *s hemmed • , *.v t; e Alieifanies and the Chattahoochee, it is - to hope *hat she can compete even tor th*- son ply o! her own people with foreigr com m*l ’ , with New York aud other Northern , im-s. 1.. whom the whole Unton is o|ien as a region of sup ply and consumption for ttieir imports.

It is unquestionably true however, that one of the cause- v» oh m hs* harelv contrihited to produce, and whi h still operaies to contiu'ie tins slate o* fbtogs. is the want ofthe capital necessary to thes importations. The great staple articles of our produce w ill in some sort export themselves, ot will furnish to a great extent the m*atis of their own exportations The purchaser iu the interior can raise funds by discounting a bill on his agent in the port ot shin ment, a ;d the Utter can reimburse himself by drawing on the foreign consignee. But fur the ! porchas of goods iu a foieign market, the impor ter must haw fund* here, or a credit up-m which ke can value, and making his sales on long credits, mus’ have the means of converting the paper h»* receive* into cash The merchant of New York, in the course o* a long continued traffic, has that credit ***tablished to the extent of their wants— or if nut. the amou it of capital at home will read d.V furnish it. The merchant of the South en _joy« no such advantage. To a limited extent one of the Banks of Charleston has endeavored to sup plv the wan., by establishing a credit in England, upon which it cau grant letters of credit to the importing merchant of that citv, and a laudable effort had been mad *. though'on a Mill scale, by the Bank ofthe State of Georgia, to ub tain the means of furnishing similar advantages to the importer of Savannah. Looking to our actu al condition, it ts obvious that the-e credits, and the discount of six. nine and twelve months paper re ceived by the importer, can he furnished aud made only bv our banks and it is equally certain •hat their present capita's will enable hem to o this ton very inconsiderable extent. It has been SPUR l!• rft I lie iin 1 • .♦*..* WJ , . #10,510.P00. Its hanking capital, all told, is#l, 890.151. It will be obvious that this is utterl> inadequate to tiie purpose of such supply. TANARUS; we turn om* attention from New York, to our sister city of < 'harleston, w 110 is entering into coin petition with it*, with a spirit which becomes her. we cannot fail to be struck with the superior ad vantages which her merchants will possess over ours. She has already a banking capital of $9, 000.000, to w hich is* to he adde Ia large portion of that ofthe great hank of = g.OOO 000, recently e*- tabbshe t tind r the charter of three States,' aud therefore ■■itjnying » protected circulation through out all then hordes wth a b min; capital of less than l«yu inilliois, can Savannah successfully com pete with Charleston, with her sixteen or seven teen millions ’ And are we prepared for the want ot this, to sacrifice the natural advantages, winch Our own seaport possesses. No* oulv Ba viiiniah. but our other more Southern ports, can *n justice * 'atm superiority over Charleston, as in lets tvom the Ocean. Savannah does not yield to her in the amount of her exports, and verv far exceeds her in the amount ot her tonnage. In deteimining the question, whethr tiie han king capital ofthis on ofour seaports be ade duate t*i her wants it may be useful to look at facts. The amount of the imports aud exports of Savan nah have been stated. The amount of tonnage to foreigh ports enga ged in freighting the productions of the last year, is 35.000 tons. \ That employed coastwise, is 40,000 ~ Ol square rigged vessels, oyvned in whole or in partin Savannah, of which eighteen areships of the largest class, averaging more than five htui pred tons, there m>* 37. Os which’lie value is S? 50,000 •' ' Us „ i.umhrr of sloops and schooners. 1 here ate three eampauies in that c;ty. employed in freighting grids and produce exclusively on Savannah riv, ; oyvntug of Steam boats (three of which a" of iron.) 11—aod having approved boats 44. 1 he stocks of these companies .unouot to $5=0,000 There are two others running to Macon, whose stock amounts to $200,000 There are five other Steamers running, and one now on the stocks, owned entirely in Savannah valued at $70,000, and two other iron Steamboats now building to run between Savannah and Ma con. In that ettv are also three steam rice mills,, four steam saw mills, and a fifth in the course of erection, 1 hese facts may serve tn give some idea of the amount of bank capital necessary for domestic purposes in Savannah, and will manifest’ how en- ! •trelv ina .I** j mite tn trie foreign wants of her mer chants. >s that yvuieli she enjoys. Indeed, the buyer* and sivupivs o: produce in Savannah would ' •) lei tly deficerit in the funds necessary to ma.;e , e a* purchase.** * > ' the aid which t'hov derive tr.rn the Tv...-, and Trust Company of ■vi* .USTn. and some ofthe still more interior Banks who employ their Savaunnh funds in the purchase of foreign and domestic exchanges, % If tnes® considerations, and others equally ob vious, of which time does not permit the detail, are sufficient to manifest the ueeeskifv ofincrea- the banking capital ofour seaport, the onlv b'am^ng* e• y 13, 1jj w’^-J t egofie that may be effected.
