OFFICIAL INTERFERENCE IN ELEC
TIONS.
We arc pleased to perceive that a bill has
been introduced into Congress to prevent the in
terference of the officers of the General govern
ment in Elections. Such a law has been long re
quired but however great desideration it may
be, it is not to be expected that the bill \\ til pass
in the existing state of things. The present ad
ministration knows well that its very being depends
noon the exertions of its hirelings and will bring
all its strength in Congress to bear against this i
measure. We. in this section, are scarcely aware
of the immense influence exorted by the govern
ment officers, yet every true patriot among us
mu'i be shocked at the undenied and undeniable
accounts of the undisguised and shameless man
ner in which they interfere with the Elections in
other sections.
We are opposed to the whole system of what
js called electioneering. It is disgracetul to ail
parties, lie who would suffer himself to be in
fluenced contrary to the dictates of his own judg
ment, in giving his vote, deserves not to enjoy the
right of suffrage. We think 100 that the candi
date who will descend to the practice of intrigue
and deceit, to gain votes, is incapable of becom
ing an independant or faithful officer. All his
acts in office will tend towards his continuance
therein, and will he meant for effect among his
constituents. Although the interest of his coun
try may require it, he will fear to act independ
ently in questions which may he detrimental to
his interest, ant! will evade such questions by
quibbling or by acting contrary to his own sense
of right and justice.
We hopethis Bill will pass and that the prohi
bit;'ns will he extended not only to the corps of
gtr.cni govemn ent officers; but that it will be
adopted by the individual state-, ar.d made ap
plicable even ter the most petty county officer.

100 much iri’erest cannot be feft on this sub

active in the matter; this section of the country
has suffered long enough, andonr people have ex
perienced enough to induce them to use their ev

encionsly believe that the provisions of the late
act of the Legislature afford an opportunity to
them by which they may throw off the shackles
With which they are now burtbened and enable
incm successfully to ricvelopethe resources of the
country, and receive ample remuneration for their
labor.
This bill of the Legislature, is to ns, an admi
rable one, for while it gives the bill holder every
security for the faithful redemption of the bills,
(thereby securing the country against being bur
thened with the bills of broken banks,) it affords
the association every advantage to operate suc
•ccssfully and profitably upon the capital invested,
by establishing the Bank upon the actual wealth
of the country, thus placing it upon n firm and
•*olid foundation, and at tlie same time allowing
the stockholder to enjoy the benefits of his pro
perty the same as if it had never been invested;
tmd by suffering, them to operate upon 25 percent

“ 1 hou hypocrite, first east the beam out of
thine own eye, and theu thou shall see clearly, to
cast the mote out ol thy brother's eye.”
T be Columbus Sentinel, in noticing the pro
ceedings ot a meeting of the State Rights party
in Mdlcdgeville, calling a Conventiou iu May
next to nominate a candidate for Governor, par
ticularly that part in which the party resolved u
uauiinously to have nothing to do, as a party, with
the currency question, makes the lollowiug re
marks :
“To a plain, unsophisticated mac. it would
seem difficult to say upon what principles that par
ty is now organized. They have solemnly deter
mined that they will have nothing to do with the
only true issue now before the country; a ques
tion w hich has, lor no inconsiderable time, agita
ted the whole community, from tire Irak's of Con
gress down to the lowest tenant of the hanilet.—
VV e would most respectfully inquire fur what prin
ciple does tins party contend ; or is their contest
simply one for‘the loaves and fishes?” ’
It is not quite so difficult to say, as the Senti
nel would suppose, upon what principles the State
Rights party is now organized, as its principles
have never been concealed, nor its motives hid.
The State Rights party have always acted upon
principles, and these principles are laid upon the
solid and firm foundation of the sovereignty and
independence of the States, from which it is not
to be driven by every “wind of doctrine” which
may for awhile agitate the country, and thou pass
off as the mist of the morning, without leaviug
any trace behind by which its results may be
known, whether fttr weal or for woe. That party
acts upon a broader and firmer foundation than
that which is now attempted to be planted by those
who bow before the footstool of the Prince of
Kinderhook.
Bat may we not be allowed to ask where the U
iiian party cf Georgia stands, and upon what prin
ciples do the members of that party act ? This
question we conceive to be much more difficult
of solution than those propounded by our cotem
porary, and to which we can scarcely expect to
receive a correct aud definite answer.
Have the members of that party heretofore,
waged w ar against any portion of the State Rights
party because of their belief in the doctrine of
State Rights and State Remedies? Now they
manifest a desire to lay down the weapons of their
warfaie. and embrace in the arms of their affec
tion, as patriots and friends of the country, those
very men upon wham they have hitherto heap
ed me most bitter denunciations, ami hurled the
mo s' Vituperative abuse, when these men enter
tain the very same opinions they did when they
vere denounced as traitors to the country, design
;mg demagogues and intiiguing politicians. Are
they particularly sensitive epon the subject of the
United States’ Bank, and manifest a great hatred
for, and wage an unrelenting warfare against that
institution 1 We see them in Convention assem

a man who always has and does now believe in the
constitutionality of the United States' Bank, and
who voted in the Senate of Georgia, in 1634, against
a resolution denouncing that Bank as unconstitu
tional. Under these circumstances we ask, is it
r.ot difficult to tell where the Union party of Geor
gia stands? “or. for what principles docs this par
ty contend; or is theh contest simply for the
‘loaves and fishes?’ ” *

NOVEL READING.
There are but few who contend that nnvcl rea
ding is beneficial, and it is believed that those few
kuow but little about that for which they so ear
nestly contend. It is hardly possible thfir De ed
itorial corp> generally suppose novels to exert a
salutary influence; why is it theu, that ohv public
journalists are eo silent ou the subject? Day af
terday we see editorial notices respecting novels;
extolling the book for its beauty of style, vivid
ness ol language and tlie thrilling incidents cou
taiaed therein ; but not a word is said about the
i.iLse notions ol uonor, virtue aud religion which
are inculcated in them. A prevalent taste for
light reading ami a corresponding distaste for the
perusal of works which tend to enlarge the mi till,
to strengthen the intellect, and to fortify the heart
agaiust tlie seductions of vice, are most serious
evils of the present day. The writer has read
many novels, and from experience can sav that
their direct tendency is to enfeeble the intellectu
*l powers, so to dispose the mind as to unlit it
for close application; to give us a disgusting mor
bid feeling of insensibility and to cause us, almost
entirely, to neglect the reading of those works
whose ten dency is to cultivate the intellect, im
prove the heart, refine the manners aud store the
mind with use ful knowledge, He feels uo hesi
tancy in saying, that had he devoted the time
which he has spent in reading novels to the ac
quisition of historical novels, lie Would, long ere
this, have been well versed in ancient uuJ modern
history.
In order to prove that they inculcate false no
tions of honor and morality, it will ouly be neces
sary lo refer to Bulwer’s works. His best charac
ters are generally duelists, sad I do not recollect
of an instance in which this practice is spoken of
in terms of disapproval. In one of his works,
(the mime of which 1 have now forgotten,) tho
hero of the tale, (a man whom he bolds up to
view as the mirror of perfection,) iu the unrelent
ing pursuit of an object, (who in truth, deserved
execration,) endeavors to starve his victim to death
by iaducing black legs to win from his scanty pit
tance of money, and when, by a sudden turn of
fortune his intended victim is raised to affluence,
aud he finds it impossible to starve him to death,
endeavors day and night, to murder him, and is,
at last, only prevented from accomplishing his
fiendish purpose by being anticipated in it by a
eonple o (foot p.uls. All this is narrated in t lie
mest glowing language, and Dot a sentiment is
found from which we might infer that the writer
disapproved of the intended act.
Are snch books calculated to make us grow in
knowledge? Do they instil proper sentiments of
virtue and morality in tlie youthful breast ? I
trow not.
1 call upon you, as public journalists, to do what
you can to remedy tire evil. william.
Millkdsville, 7th Jan’y. 1839.
To this Excellency,
Gvoroe. R. Gilmer.
Sir —l deem it proper at the earliest period at
which it was practicable afrei a perusal of the
recent act of the legislature “to authorize tlie
business of Banking, and to regulate the same,”
to make known ro you my determination to de
cline’the acceptance ol the office of Commis
sioner. created by that law, conferred by the Gen
eral Assembly without my soliciarion, and da
ring my absence from this city. 1 have felt, iu
consequence of these circumstances, an earnest
desire to meet tlie wishes of those friends who so
generously extended to me their confidence : and
to have fulfilled their expectations, would re sdily
have made some sacrifice #f personal interest.
I am not, however, inclined nor eo 1 believe that
any of them could desire that I should make such
a sacrifice as the strict and faithful discharge of
the duties of Commissioner, as 1 understand those
duties ; as I believe that tho people will expect
ol such agent, and as i am persuaded their inter
ests demand, should be performed by that officer,
will require for the utterly inadequate compensa
tion of four dollars per day.
The act imposes for any violation of its various
requirements, a fine of no, less than 9 10,000, and
Penitentiary imprisonment of five years. lam
unwilling to encounter the hazard of a violation
of someone of it3 provisions, (and in my opinion
tbeaef would be as much violaied by an omission
to perform a duty prescribed, or necessarily im
plied. as by the flagrant breach of its injunctions,)
for such compensation. The onerous labors in
cident to a faithful execution of the act, ihe heavy
responsibilities to the laws—and the still more fear
ful ones to the people—would have authorized a
salary commensurate with them ; but since it has
not been provided, I do not hesitate to say that I
cannot act as a commissioner.
Very respectfully, vour obedient servant.

A WORD TO THE PI BLK .
IN the November Number of the Evangelical
Universalist, a Mr. L. F. W Andrews has
labored to inform the public that his (supposed)
talents had frightened myself, and Mr. Gardner
from a public vindication of moral truth. If this
community did not knoiv, that we had ventured to
meet men of superior rninds, he might have suc
ceeded in making snch a false impression. If
Mr. Andrews is so desirous of controversy on his
principles, I now make the following propositions
to him, or ary other man «f his opinions.
First. Let Mr. Andrews write out a plain and
full view of that “Holiness, without which, no
man shall see the Lord!”
Secondly, Let Mr. Andrews prove that all who
have died, possessed that holiness before death.
Thirdly, Let Mr. Andrews prove that ail who
may yet live and die, shall lfve arid die in posses
sion of that holiness !
Fourthly. Or let Mr. Andrew s prove, that some
may be saved without holiness, or that although
some have, or may die without holiness ; yet they
shall be niado holy after death, and thus be final
ly saved.
Fifthly, Let Mr. Andrews give nshis views of
tlie only rnethodof obtaining, and rciainiug that
holiness, before or after death ; let this be done',
and 1 hereby obligato myself to answer Mr. An
drews, or publicly, renounce my long professed
opinions and become a Universalist.
