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.

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 <n specie on the amount of the capital stock of Tac glaciation, With these privileges and -ad vantages, werCamm.it conceive how any one, ivlio dispoaed to ad feirly and honestly, can be op posed to entering "iuto an association as provided f>» in the liitf.

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.

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?’ ” * Fjlorksce, Ga.

The citizens of Florence and vicinity, assem bled this evening at Mr. Burnett’s Hotel, for the purpose of taking into consideration measures to wards the establishment of a Bunk at Florence under the General Banking system, adopted by the Legislature of Georgia at its last session.

After an explanation of the objects of the meet ing by the Chairman, the act of the Assembly un der which the Bank is proposed to be established, was read hy the Secretary. Col.

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. IVERSON L. HARRIS. 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.
