Our opinions and views upon this subject have been sn o!ten and so fullv expressed, that we scarcely deem it necessary, io m»u bie our readers with their repetition. So h r' , however, as the Van Btiren presses in tl is Stale aie zealously endeavoring to fo ment divis.on, am.l create confusion in our rat : «, and thus, by stratagem, effect, what they would othcrwis*’, be unabl to do, and w; tin then sen?* to be an inclination on the part of some of mir friends to It* (Strapped iti the snare, deliberately lain for them, !*’ < '- cannot consent to remain silent. As advo cates of tit glorious principles of the State Rights party, aud feeling a deep and abiding interest in the complete succ ss of those principles, we shah xtill keep our statio .in the field and battle with the enemy so long as danger is to be apprehended from his iu sidioits wiles. The coining Presidential struggle it is tine, is one of" vast importance to the AiO ’r ictm people, whether we regard it as a con test for precedence between two ambitious and designing politicians; or whether we look upon .t aS the term inatiou of a long se ries of misrule and corruption. For the last eight years our countrv has groaned un der theyoke of rulers df void of patriotism, and guided solely, by the low base prejudices ot party discipline. Our present Chief Ma gistrate, lias, iti almost every act of his pub lic life. shown himself “unfit to be the ruler of a free people.” Having, bv sycophantic adulation, ingratiated himself into the good graces of Gen. Jackson, whom hie people loved for his military sendees, he managed to creep into power upon the strength of Jack son's influence and popula'ity. For him the people have no affection If supported forthe second Presidential term, it is because the influence of Executive patronage du ring his present term, points to him as the proper person upon whom the fifty thousand office holders may unite. His most prom inent opponent, Henry Clay, is n man tb,’( we can admire for his burning eloquence and statesmanlike abilities; but here our admi ration stops. South n rn imm, professing Southern principles, will never yield their support to the enemy of the South. 11-orv Clay is the boastcJ father of «he odious •• * - luerieau System,” and is pledged to re' ive i whenever a fitting opportunity i.s presented, lie is the “great pacificator,*’ raising wiprl winds aud -torins, in order to have the credit of aliayiug them. True, he lias taken a no ble audekvated stand in reference to the fa natical crusade of Northern Abolitionists u- Caitist the cherished institutions of the South; but this is only a single point of co incidence, whilst in almost every important particular he is oppo ed to us. In a contest then, between Martin Y r an Burenauvl Henry Clay, what part are we of the South to take? Can we, cousisteutly eater into the support of either of these ob noxious candidates ? Naver; so long as we profess a regard lor the L-doved institutions ot our country ; never, so long as wo are true to ourselves ami our country; never, until we prove recreant to the glorious cause iu which we have embarked, that of bring i-tg back the government to its original prin ciples, aud ot erecting an impregnable bul wark around our Constitution, which will forever hereafter pieveiit all iufractious of l ii at instrument and j erpetuate to tl.e sever al States tueir sovereign rights aud remedies. To the State Rights pa'ty we would again urge tiie propriety as well as the necessity of retraining from a ‘choice of evils' from which we have every thing to fear and nothing to hope. Let us cling to the doctrinesin which we were nurtured, aud avoid as we would the ‘desolating breath of the Sirocco,’ a union or concert with the pneuiies of out .South ern institutions. We have yet among us such men as Leigh and Hayue and Troup, upon whom we can cast our support, with out a ro iouucement of our principles, aud who are in every way w'orthy of the most dis tinguished honor that can he conferred up on them. From the Columbus Enquirer. THE TIMES—PARTIES. In no instance, since the adoption of the Federal Constitution have there been eviu ced so many conflicting interests aud feelings in our national politics. Ou no one subject do tire grand divisions of party entirely agree. On the finances, the iinproveiyepts, the «•*■-'* aud military poJicy, of *fj. CQIV " ( cte ' r ‘ y section uuuzst every individual, enter tains distinct aud peculiar sentiments. The signs of the times would indicate a general shitfiling in the ranks of all parties, and a general abauduuraeut of principles on the part of almost all men. Such is the change of the tiroes—such the crumbling of old parties ; the severance of old and endearing ■political ties; such the want of confidence among old political friends. What then, is to be the result ? Is it to be the gradual for mation of new alliuuces; tiie restoration of harmony among long standing and bitter op ponents? Is it to be the discovery of auy new or startling doctrines of the constitution or the government? Or will the particles, after n momentary repulsion, again attract each other with even greater than their for mer force ? And will the contest be waged once inure upon the old batl*e ground, w ith the same wrapon and under the same stan dards? Let our friends of the State Rights party answer these quesMous with calmness and deliberation. For what have they been contending; why spent their time aud trea sure during the long coutiict thiough which they have passed ? Wh it piinciplcs of the constitution have been at stake ? Why have we endured so long the insults and gibes of our opponents ? Was it not to sustain what w e considered a vital principle iu our sya.cm ot government ? Was it not in defence ol the doctrines of Jefferson, and the great re publican family of' the country? lias that object been attained? Have all our ends been accomplished ? (las executive patron age been limited ? Have the true positions of the States been ascertained ? Can wo, in good faith andhonurnow relax eur efforts, abandon our long cherished associations, dissolve tics which we claim to have existed liom the very formation of the government ? Can we separate iuto our original elements, and attach some to one fraction and some to another of our former enemies? Certainly this cannot he. It cannot be, that in the ve ry presence of the great leader of our partv in Georgia, we will thus disgrace ourselves. It the “price of liberty be eternal watchful ness,” then wpre State Rights men either w rong in the principles which they have es poused. or they would act basely in their abandonment. Their Troup, the great ex pounder of tin r creed, is still with them; and ran tlicv forget the <* ; *al and fervor with which they second> and his patriotic move ments against the tyrannical oppressions of the-general government? These remarks have been induced by the recent efforts made to distract our action in the coming Presidential contest. If ever there \T as a time when the identity of our party ought to pr served at all hazards, and its principles hem ‘■acred and inviolable that time is now at n„ud. of.* existence as a political association is at sC.ke. u 3 are boldly urged to st*p forward, ana, by <* choice of veils, determine the conflict be tween Clay and Van Buren. Few men will openly advocate the claims of either; all confess that neither of these men has a sol itary principle or feeling in common with u». The talents et the one, uud the weakness of the other, are the only, or at least the mo6t prominent arguments used. The error of our party iri once choosing between evils is now apparent. If then we desire to be cou sistent, we must unite upon one of our own men- -one who feels and thiuks, and acts in common with us; one, upon whom, when wc confer the responsibilities of the office, our hands would hot palsy, our tongues fal ter, nor our checks crimson with shame! This duty falls upon the Convention about to assemble in May next. The people look with anxiety to the deliberations of that bo dy, nor do wc presume they will be disap pointed. Let some otic ot stern republican and moral virtue be designated, around whom our forces can rally. Georgia will not stand aioue in tho matter. The South will support neither the “Northern man with southern principles," nor the “Southern man with Northern principles II is the time come when her doom is to base.ilod, and she forced to take only her choice of the most infamous alternatives? If so, her political destiny is told; her institutions are gone; her | rosperity is at an end; her opponents have triumphed to their hearts’ content.

The prcssuie upon this Batik has been very great; and while there was any hope ot being sustained, there was no restraint laid upon either its specie or specie funds, us must be evident to any one who will do i. justice to examine its report; . id not until circumstances beyond their control, in .. very unexpected moment, compelling tin directors, did they resort to a suspension By comparing the present leport of the Brukof Darien with that furnished in Oc tober last, aud which is before us, it will h*- seen that the circulation of the Bank lias been reduced $100,000; the item, too, of monies on deposit* 8170,000, and amount due to other Banks near 869,600, and so on aud we feel quite assured, that although its specie is greatiy reduced, it will le enabled quite as early as could be expected, to re sume specie payment”, and be placed in a situation to enable it to extend the usual facilities to our community and to the pub iic, so chara, toastie of its board of maria gers. Not being familiar with the subject of banking, we are scarcely prepared to offer an opinion ; but it docs appear to us. that the proscut system pursued by the Bank”, is illy calculated to advance their interest, and must of necessity greatly inconvenience the community at large and ranse a con tinuance of the pressure in the money mar let so much complained of. Still, we pre suttie that Banks will adhere to that course they consider the safest to themselves, re gardless of the distress and buffeting such a course may bring down upon the people generally. This, however, ought not to be so. Let the Banks, then, protect them selves by entering into a mutual arrange ment to receive each otl ere bills and to pay out their own; to inak* their set'lctpents with each other monthly, a.cd for balances establish an interest account, promising not to draw from each other specie ; and when exchange or cheeks are given, let them he at the usual and acknowledged rates, and we do believe, by thus acting up in good faith to each other, our money matters would soon become esay. and business go on with out interruption.’ Tallahassee, April 10.

The state of affairs in Mississippi is any thing but flattering.* The greatest distress seems to prevail. The newspapers teem to overflowing with legal advertisements. We hear daily of the sa rifiee of pioperty ; and credit is a thing which is sometimes talked of but hardly expected, much less know n. It will be remembered that prior to the commencement of tlie great breaking vp, as the dark day has been designatt i. the planters and merchants of .Mississippi be came largely indebted to New Orleans.— Since that period, when our mercantile com uiunity became satisfied that they had been unfairly dealt with by some of the'Mississip pians. who drew upon more than one house for advances on the same productions of the same season, which were to be delivered, a bout ten thousand suits have been instituted and judgement obtained. When collections were attempted to be made bv the proper of ficer, the executions w ere stayed by what are termed ‘forthcoming bonds,*giving addition al security for the payment against a future date. The time for payment has com * a round,- and we understand that a declaration of resistance has been made, threatening the officer who may attempt to enforce the obit gntjona. Besides, our merchants are to suf for another delay, ns it is said the bonds*giv en were informal, and have to be faheu n,new. The Funeral of the late Gen.
