TUS GOVERNOR Ob' NSW YORK i'iierc are mare iiwances than one, 11 whicit the South traduced, the shmUerct Son til- has been treated w ith tlie basest 10 gratitude by those who have been the recip ients, in former days, oi lier favours lavisii ly bestowed upon itiein. How many au en terprising young man reared in a more nor litem clime, has been tempted to abandon his home, the home ollns youth, audio mu "sunny Soutn" to seek alter lame, lortuue, Viul a name ! How many hare succeeded, and are now enjoying the highest couti tiduce of those among whom i.ioy have cast luoir lots, the history of eacti .Southern JSinte tells upon every page ! Uu the other hand, there are those whom avarice, or steru necessity has driven Iron. <heir hearth stone, and who, urged by the Character of our people abroad, ti.ive sought lor a home in the dou'h, to relieve then necessities or to minister to their avarice. The welcome extended to tnese, lacked' thing,K of *vh at is characteristic ol our peo ple. When called upou to labour in their profession, tlie most generous recompense repaid them in a degree lor ttie ser vices they had rendered. In health, they met with the most liberal eucouragi mem to pursue the profession winch each one )ia<i marked out lor himself. The lawyer truidoui wauled lor a tee—the Ptiysictan, ifj skilful, fora patient—the Teacher, for pu-i pi Is, in sicknes, they were not deserted. Tue Southern matron lias often watched li ver the couch, upon which the ennei; ted term of the northern youth lay stretched under the lutlueoce 01 a score.ling lever, produced by a Southern sun. Even now, there are hundreds within the limits of Georgia that acknowledge “north of the Fo tOntic" as their uotue, upon wuomthe kmd- Jy offices of our people are bestowed, and tneir fortunes added unto. Can tney too prove uugraieful ! We trust not. Among moan of the latter class of recipi ents of Souuioru hospitality m whom we have spokeu, we are to name the GOVERNOR oi the STATE of N K W YURA—him, who now places tlie weapon in tue hands of the abolitionist to strike tue bjow aimed to destroy Soutnern Institutions •and assail Southern Rights. About twenty years ago, necessity drove theuowauv. SE'.VARU mto'lte Stale oi Ua.

Putnam. The most liberal patronage that a people, who knew how to appreciate merit, could bestow,i wrs oestowed upon tlie then unpretending schoolmaster. The hospitalities oft. ic cit izens of that county, were extended to the stranger, and he knew 110 want, which was in the power of the peotiie in orevent. E-, trough was accumulated by him at the South to pursue ins studies at the North, and he bade a nasty adieu to ms eafly benefactors. In ins more recent career he appears to have forgotten those who administered to his necessities in the hour of his need, j This man is now the foe of the South. The j doctrines which he advances in his reply to the Governor ol’ Va„ are most dangerous to our rights oi property, and to our very exts- j tance. That he in his conscience believes they are the fundamental doctrines of the ! constitution, we have never for a moment j believed. They are advanced, only for the purpose of promoting the cause of the fanat ical abolitionist—to pander to prejudice and ignorance and to promote itis own selfish views. Os such a man we can only say “Ephriamit joined to his idols," let him.

Noes 10, and others without a division, j The Van Burcu men, of course, acted with; tile Whigs on tins subject, and it was not 1 ju party question. “ I lie action here is quite a significant sign of • lie times, it snows what au important phalanx of Southern de lenders the Northern men with Southern principles ate, and just how mucu depen dence the South cm put upon i.iem ; bui no matter lor tins, though, as the South loves to be duped uu tins subject, and is completely duped by the whole, force of the ex-itegeiicy ol the State.”— Jiut.

Whatever the reasons may [have been for tins state of things, we are. :happy to believe that tlie reasons do not now exist. By information derived from ithe best possible source, we understand that* tins Institution lias only bills in circulation to the amount of about two hundred and jjseveufy thousand dollars. That to meet this tue Bauii u.is of cash aud bills, fsvliicli 'only await the opening of tlie river to make belter titan cash) to within some nine tlious tad dollars ol its wliolc circulation. In ad dition to this, tlie instalment recently ca'led ilor has been paiad tu cash ; uot by running notes in the Institution, hut a bona fide payment in cash, to the Bank ol one hun dred and fifty thousand dollars more. 'Shewing as we would suppose nearly the latter amount of cash means over and above its circulation. We say noth tig olds assets, its notes and otiter property, tHe further se curity of its entire solvency ; we only speak; oi its cash means to meet its circulation, and .surely vv itu such a showing, there is no proper reason why these bills should be de | ' predated below those of any other sound but suspended Bans in tlie .Slate.
