MACON COMMERCIAL BANK.
A PETITION
Tn the Honorable the Senate and House of
Representatives, of the State of Georgia ,
11 General Assembly met —
IHe citizens of Macon, and others whose
unitiesnre hereunto subscribed, respectfully
s')Lci your Honoruido body to incorporate
tiiftn as a Banking Company under the name
and character of “Tlio Commercial Bank at
ancon” and to give thorn sticli privileges and
unrnu.uitics, as a Banking Company, as you, in
tourwisdom may deem meet and expedient.
ask this from your Honorable body as
j 1 r ‘tuttor of right, but at the same time beg
leave to offer some of the reasons that have
induced us to petition for anew Bank to be
located at Macon, believing that you will he
disposed to listen to any arguments founded in
reason ami justice, if it is made apparent that
* ns community requires another Bank, and
lit the interests of those you represent will
j' e promoted by it, wc have no hesitancy in be-
that you will grant the Petition of your
'•emori lists.

" 'unoiint of money for answering tiro
‘ "eh of the community, lienee, greater
'll obtaining ft for every purpose of
life, and the consequent depreciation of inte
resl—and lienee, a stop to tire progress of usu
ry either by tile Sharer or Broker. The
commercial and planting interest in Macon,
and its vicinity have suffered severely from
tnc scarcity of Bu- e capital owned in the
place, as well as from the total insufficiency I
ot all the foreign and local Bank capital to sup
ply*the wants of the community. The Banks
located in Macon have small capitals and with
one exception are Branches of other Banks in
tnc S.utc and are almost wholcly controuled
by persons who reside at a distance and who
cannot be expected to know the wants of the
community. Ihe demand for money increa
ses in an equal ratio with the increase of bu
siness—and it is well known that our Ban Is
have not and cannot increase their emissions
in an equal ratio, From actual calculations,
made by intelligent anil experienced nnr
chants, it is ascertained that om- Banks have
n *t been able to supply more than one half of
the money that has been actually employed
hereto transact the business of the place—let
a few plain facts be submitted. Last year,there
were 00,000 bales of cotton, sold in Macon,
wh.cli at twenty-five dollars per bale amounts
to 81,500,000. Add to this, the expenses of
transportation to the sea-board, storage, com
missions, &c. and the amount is swelled to
1,800,000. This year, we believe tue num
ber of bales of cotton to be received at Ma
con, will be at least 70,000, which at $25,
pci bale, will amount to 1,750,000. Add ex
panses of transportation, &c. and it will cost
delivered at the sea-board, $2,000,000. It is
believed that the quantity of goods brouglit
to this [dace, and the money necessary lor
improving the town building s will amount to
as much more. Four millions of dollars,
then are reqnred to transact the business of
the place the comiftg year. You will see that
we have not taken into the calculation, the
cotton which is purchased by our mertdiants
at the different landings on the river, and
which is shipped to die sea-board, without
coming to Macon, nor have we taken into
view the money required by the surrounding
country for any cf the purposes of life—we
then assert without fear of contradiction, that
all the banks in Macon, cannot furnish the
i.r.'iiey necessary to carry on the business of
the [dace the coming year; and for satisfac
tory proof of this fact, we refer to the annual
returns of tire banks to your honorable body.
The consequence of a great deficiency of bank
capital lias been,that our merchants have been
compelled to resort to other and distant plac es
for money ; and in addition to the inconveni
ences and do thy, consequent upon this state
of things, the discount and commissions, they
have been compelled to pay to tire brokers
anil shavers,have swelled the rate of interest to
to from 12 to 25 percent. This evil we could
not remedy, and we have been .compelled to
charge llio planter a high rate on advances,
or suffer bankruptcy ourselves. This state
of tilings is insupportable, and we respectfully
solicit your honorable body to remedy so cry
ing an evil, by granting us anotl r hank with
■such a capital as may be sufficient for the
business of the place. It is proposed by your
memorialists, that the bank have a capita! of]
$400,000, divided into shares of SIOO each, ]
anil that no individual, or co-partnership of I
individuals, be allowed to subscribe for more!
than 100 shares, and that your memoralists
be considered as having already subscribed
for all the stock, under the above restriction.
Wc recommend this cotir.,e, tirat wcmay avoid
an evil which has in several instances defeat
ed the object of the Legislature in incorpora
ting banks. We allude tc a monopoly of the
stock by a few individuals. We v, isli to
avoid thisjevil by giving every individual in
the place, an opportunity of subscribing for
stock (which wc believe Iras been given in
this case) and then to have these individuals
so subscribing anil petitioning, incorporated]
as the stockholders of the bank. This course!
may be a novel one, yet we confidently be-j
lievc it effects will bn salutary, and tirat the ‘
whole community will share in its advantages.
From these and other reasons that will
suggest themselves to your honorable body,
we fondly hope you will charter the Commer
cial Bank at Macon, and thus enable your
memorialists to increase the circulating me
dium of the State, to put a stop to the pro
gross of usury, (o equalize the exchange be
tween the interior of the State, and the sea
board, arid to enable the people the more ea
sily to pay their debts to the Merchant and to
the State. And your memoralists will ever
pray, &c.

FOR CONGRE S.
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE,
•liiynstin S. C fay ton.
FEDERAL CANDIDATE,
WILLIAM SCHLEY.
We have in our possession statements from un
doubted authority, which go to disprove the un
warrantable assertions made by J. T. Camp, in
his letter to the Editor of Columbus Democrat,
noticed in our last. Want of room compels us
to defer theirpubliealion until our next.
Commercial ilixis!. t Macon.
By reference to our Legislative head, it will
be seen that the Bill incorporating this institution
has passed the Senate by a majority of 14 votes.
The statistical facts set forth in the Petition of
the Memorialists, which we publish to-day, have
secured for the Bill a favorable reception in Mil*
ledgevillc, and induce us to believe that it will
be as successful in its passage through the House
as it has been in the Senate. The increasing
trade of our flourishirg town, and the absolute
want ot available funds to give an impulse to its
operations, equally favorable to the Merchant,
Planter and Mechanic, are fairly and correctly
represented, and impose it as an incumbent duty
upon our Legislature to grant the charter which
has been asked for.

This seditious publication has been embellished
by th c favors of certain correspondents, who have
falsely and basely calumniated the repetition of
some if our most worthy and respectable citizens.
One cf the authors of those foul slanders, we arc in.
duced to believe, resides among us, and is foster
ed in the bosom of the very Society whose morals
and character he hits vidy traduced. We would
advise the gentleman to keep his domino wrapped

from his malignant features lie may rest assured
that the just indignation of an insulted comma,
nity will be poured heavily upon him.
Savannah — Charleston—Rail Roads,
or,
South Carolina, vs. Georgia.
Fcr some years past, the enterprising Capital
ists of Charleston, have be in looking with a wist
ful eye to the rapidly increasing resources of Geor
gia. We will not pretend to say, that the origi
nal object of the Charleston Rail Road Company
contemplated a controlling influence over the
trade f this Stato: but this much vte thinr. we
can with certainty advance, that since the com
mencement of the system, her keen-eyed specu
lators have discovered that they may avail them
selves of a commanding advantage over our enter
prise, industry and products—and that they are
now strengthened in their belief of being able to
effect this, from the misguided policy which ae
-tuates too many of our temporising citizens. To
explain ourself:
Columbus and Eaton ton aredesirotis of estab
lishing, from their several points, Bail Roads to
terminate at Augusta. The Senator from lift for
mer place, has already a proposition before the
present Legislature to that effect. Now, let us
see, if these plans of Internal Improvement were
adopted, what would he the result. Rail Roads
from Columbus and Ilatonton to Augusta, would
meet the Charleston Rail Road at Hamburg, and
would, in fact, be nothing more than a continua
tion of the Charleston Rail Road —or, in other
words, it would be building for the benefit of S.
Carolina alone, two or three hundred miles of Hail
Ruud in Georgia. Under this ruinous anl absurd
policv, Columbus and Eatonton, would com
mand the entire trade of our South-western
and north-western section , which are and
will continue to be, the most nourishing and
productive portions of our State. That these
two places should do so, wc would not, however,
complain, if it did not go directly to the prostra
tion of our commercial character, by pouring the
principal part of our wealth into the already re
dundant lap of Charleston. Augusta too appears to
be infatuated with the project—but after maturely
reflecting upon the facts we have hinted at, she
must be convinced that it cannot add anything
!o her prosperity. On the contrary, it would sub
tract a great deal from it; for instead of being as
she now is, the great mart of the Interior, she
would soon become a mere thoroughfare, or Cot
ton Avenue for Charleston. Her Steam Boats
and Pole Boats would in a little time rot at her
wharves, and it would not be long before her emp
ty Stores and dilapidated Ware Houses would
give to her now animated market, the gloomy as
pect of a “deserted village.” This would inevi
tably be the result, unless Augusta could compete
with Charleston in marine location and commer
cial facilities ; for which we presume no man of l
sane understanding* would contend.
If there is enough of public spirit, enterprise
and State pride in < leorgia. to protect her Tesour
ces, and make them available to her commercial
welfare and political consequence, she must loo’*
to Savannah for the accomplishment of these great
desiderata. If wo do vot, GEORGIA BECOM ES
TRIBUTARY TO CHARLESTON / Already
are her great capitalists thronging among us, and
endeavoring by investments and other flattering
operations, to effect this ulterior object. We there
fore, most seriously • ehove our Legisluture to be
zealously cautious in granting equivocal charters,
sail more particularly so, in making appropria
tions for such undigested and destructive projects
of Internal Improvements, as those to which we
have alluded.
We have in a crude manner hastily thrown these
suggestions together, wiSi the hope that they will
not only arouse our Legislature, which is now in
session, but also our fellow citizens generally to a
proper sense of the high interests of the State. We"
cannot sit still, and passively look upon the exer
tions that fatuity and management arc making to
wrest troin ns the decided advantages within out
grasp —which advantages if properly employ
ed, would, at no distant period, rank us with the
first Southern State in the Union.

GREAT MORTALITY.
The St. !s)uis Republican of the lstinst.
states that a letter has been received from
Major Dougliorty, Agent of the Pawnee In
dians, to his brother, saying that the Small
Pox had been committing dreadful ravages a
mongtho Pawnees; that nearly the whole of
one tribe (the Pawnee Republic,) of about
3500 souls, had been swqd of —that the num
ber dying daily was so great, that they had
not been able to bury them!—and that this
excessive mortality was owing to the circum
stance, that they immediately plunged the pa
tient into the water as soon as the fever makes
its at pearance—thus driving the disease in
wardly.
Eor the Macon Advertiser.
Judge C layton is before the public ns a
candidate to fill the present vacancy in om
Congressional representation. He comes at
the nomination of the Troup Party, and it is
believed With their united assent. It is in
deed a most happy and appropriate selection.
W e have many able men to whom this State
is greatly and lastingly indebted; but it would
bo difficult to find a person whose eminent
services have been so various, and who has so
iqany,distinct arid separate claims to our con
fidence. I have read and admired in common
with the American public his fine productions
on the lightest and weightiest subjects which
do honor to the taste and literature of the State
and to its juridical altd economical service
And l have w itnessed efforts of W3 elocution
1 which I and hundreds more will never forget.
But it is not for these qualifications, eminent
as they are that 1 recommend him to the peo
ple of Georgia. Nor is it because llmoic him
to be virtuous (for I knew him well and have
known him long) that i recommend him. it
is because his virtue lias been tried ami
proved —seven ly tried and fully proved.
I of course allude to the gold digging case.
It came before him when his election was at
hand. llow easy would it have been to have
saved the point, or tohave allowed a continu
ance, or to have laid hold of some technicali
ty or by some other dexterous side wind to
have dodged the question for the time and
waived it over beyond the day of election ? or
it he loved his office more than principle,such
talents as his, could easily have found some
plausible reasons for deciding profitably. But
he did neither of these. He decided iiimscll
out of office, and he knew that he was doing
so. This may be called eulogy—it is indeed
so; but it is the eulogy of fact—a fact that
will hereafter speak the eulogy of Georgia!
and all 1 find to regret in it is, that it will fur
j nish an argument hereafter, in favor of the,
j electioneering tenure of our bench. This
[decision will be cited to prove that Judges
even by such a tenure can be found who will
disdain to truckle or palter or evade. The
simple fact here stated is, that he inct the
question fairly as it arose; and decided it at
once and in such way, as lie knew would cost
him his office. lam not applauding him for
this. He perfonnftl indeed, and with un
flinching firmness an act of self immolation
but be did no more than bis duty, a severe and
painful duty it is true, and what many would
not have done, but still bis duty. It is far
from my purpose therefore to insult with my
thanks, n man who makes no claim to thanks
for fulfilling his high trust. But I am con
gratulating the people that they have in the
present instance full proof if human experi
ence can prove it, that their .candidate will
do his duty at whatever cost to himself. That
!■ will not betray his trust fcowever strongly
tempted. This decision is moreover eminently
calculated to promote his usefulness in Con
gress in the great question of our Indian rela
tions. The advocates of the North of the trea
ty rights of the Indians, w ill natprally, act
more amicably, and cordially with a person
from Georgia who by his moderatioirffias evin
ced that be intends the Indians no wrong,and
who has given such a signal proof of the
firmness of his principles. GEORGIA.
