4n( l although by courtesy a transfer of for
‘j, r|l funds is sometimes accepted in payment
vet it is perfectly competent for one bank to
liomand specie payment, and obligatory on

vita of the subject by reference to their own
lcricncc. The argument may be enforced
o..nnnsinff a case of no unusual occurrence
hi commercial transactions. A bavannah
merchant wishing to remit money in payment
of a debt to New York, has his note for ten
thousand dollars discounted in the bank of the
Slate of Georgia —with the funds thus provi
ded |. L . purchases from the branch bank of
the United States at Savannah, a check on
t | ic branch in New York which fully answers
his purpose. Within one week afterwards
the bilis with which Ins draft was purchased,
are presented by the branch hank of the Uni
ted States to the bank issuing them, and spe
cie demanded in payment. Thus before the
note, discounted by the latter for the accom
modation of the Savannah merchant, becomes
due, she will have paid cut for it, not her own
bills, but gold and silver coin. She will have
been forced to disburse coin upon the faith
of which, perhaps, three times its amount of
paper money.was issued by the unexpected
and premature return of bills, wcich have not
been thrice counted since their departure. 2d
There is a great advantage to those branches,
from the extensive circulation of their bills
An exam pie will illustrate the idea. Th
western traders who supply our market with
pork, horses, and other articles, when about
to leave the state, possess themselves of the
United States money in circulation, or if
enough cannot be collected, purchase it from
the Bank itself, and transport it to their res
pective homes. Thus by reason of its gene
ral currency, it is remitted to the North and
East in payment of debts. No doubt being
entertained of its entire soundness, it may be
continued long in circulation at a great dis
tance from the bank which issued it. Ordi
nary commercial transactions would not give
it homeward direction, in less than one year.
In much less time however, the bank that is
sued it will have received in its stead, hills
of our own banks, upon which she may either
operate profitably, or which she may convert
into specie at pleasure to the great oppression
of the la; ter, and there is no mode in which
this oppression can be successfully resisted.
Experience has conclusively proven, that U
nited States hank bills do not acquire general
currency within any one state—they are in
tended fora wider sphere—a sphere in which
minor banks can exercise no controul. 3d.
They derive great advantagss from their agen
cy in collecting the icvenue of the General
Government. All custom house bonds, and
other evidences of debt belonging to the Gen
rul C iovernment, are deposited in the mother
bank, or some of its branches, as their local
ity may determine, for collection, and pay
ment may be enforced either in their own
hills or in specie- The great difficulty that
always existed, and particularly in the South
ern States, in procuring those bills, frequent
ly puts in their power to demand of debtors
specie payments. And how are individuals
to obtain asufficient amount of gold and silver
to meet such demands ( Obviously but in one
way. They must collect all the bills of local
banks within their reach, and draw specie
from their vaults. Thjs would be unneces
sary oppression ; but nevertheless, is such as
may and probably will be practiced on those
institutions less limited in resources, and cre
ated by authority of the states.
From all these causes, it is very evident to
your committee, that they are in subjection
to an arbitrary power, which may crush them
in the very infancy of their corporate exist
ence. The states must of necessity, cither es
tablish banks ol t heir own,or they must depend
upon the branches of the United States Hank
tor supplying them with their paper currency.
It it be right and proper for them to establish
banks of their own, it is certainly correct that
they should have power to aflbrd them all ne
cessary protection. But this they cannot do
effectually, so long as there is a similar insti
tution, having infinitely' greater resources
within their limits, and wholly independent
ot their authority. To rely upon such an in
stitution for a paper medium, or for comrner-
C|;, l facilities, would be manifestly unsafe and |
"“Politic, because as it was enforced upon
Jom without their consent, so it may be sud
denly withdrawn, whether they be willing or
unwilling. And hence would result imme
diate stagnation of business and derangement j
01 commercial affairs. It is certainly contra- j
r ) to all just conceptions of State sovereignty,
fiat a powerful monied institution should be
established within the jurisdictional limits of
n ny state without her consent, and conduct'd 1
fee from her restraint. It is, in effect, pla-
Cin o important public interests rn subjection
J the w him and caprice of the few individu-
j l .,* 1 to whom its direction may be intrusted.—
h.t provision of tlie charter which prohibits
_ of more than three directors from
01,<i state, does not secure to the states
,in ' contrail over the affairs of the bank. A
'sequent section destroys the little influ
nce wliich is thus apparently given to remote
parts of tho Union, by making seven directors
•iqiloruin to do business. Thus the five di

and who are not chosen with

' • l IP ' " )uV'-e l t C.b r I'! - * renter
| tion of her laws. The State of Georgia may,
| and does, tax the banks chartered bv herself;
| but this creature of a higher janver is above
j th® operation of tier laws. It is impolitic, it
: ‘a wrong in principle, that the enterprise of
her citizens should contribute to the support
of a wealthy corporation which so far from
' yielding her a revenue, actually oppresses and
< impoverishes similar institutions, which are
compelled to pay their mite into her Treasury.
It is worthy of remark, that this hank has fail
ed to accomplish one object anticipated by the
states. The advocates of its incor[ioration
predicted, that it would equalize exchange
throughout the Union, but no such good has
resulted.
But there is another view of the subject,
more important to the states, and which
should unite them all in opposition to this o
vergrown child of the General Government.!
Your committee believe that it is susceptible ]
of being made a powerful mid dangerous po-1
litical engine. There arc those who qocs- j
tion whether men casually thrown together in i
the direction of that Bank, could or would u-!
nite in any ono political project. But it 1
should be remembered, that community of in-;
terest superinduces community of feeling and
of principle, and that, political power is always
desirable, because it ean at any time confer
pecuniary emolument. Danger however, is
not so much to be apprehended from a sinis
ter movement on the part of the directors gen
erally, as from the improper use, which a cor
rupt administration of the General Govern-,
meat, may make of the institution. Recur
ring to one feature of the charter already no
ticed, it is manifest that the directors appoint
ed on t'ne part of the General Government,
may and doubtless will often constitute a ma
jority of tbe board assembled to deliberate up- j
on the affairs of the hank—lt is very clear,
that on such occasions, any measure, desired ,
by the administration, could be carried into
immediate execution. If it be asked what
additional powercouid be given by this abso
lute control, the ready answer is, nothing less
than that power which the Mammon of un
righteousness ever has exercised, and ever
will exercise over the frailty of human nature.
If it he asked, what would be the u modvß ope
rand i" of such a power, the answer is equally
icarly. It would operate by a judicious loca
tion of branch banks—by a prudent selection j
of influential men as directors of those branch- j
es—by instructing such directors, so to distri- j
bute their favors, as to give ascendancy o- 1
vor prominent individuals in the ir respect-1
ivc spheres of operation, and to use their pow
er over weaker banks around them, subservi
ent to their purposes, and finally by extend
ing accommodations to men in power. Such
are some of the inodes in which it would he
! made efficient, and they are not the sugges
tions of an excited fancy, but consequences
which may follow from existing causes. The
fact, that oppressions and abuses spoken of,
are not now practised by the bank, is no ar
gument in its favor. Considerations of policy,
motives of self-preservation, now constrain it
to exercise good faith towards the public. A
crisis is about to take place in the existence
of that institution. The arbiters of her fate,
will soon have assembled to sit in judgement
upon her, and the issue will be life or death.
All evidences of corrupt management —of op
pressive conduct—of political intrigue, will
be collected by her enemies, and solemnly
considered by her judges, and from their de
cision, there will be no appeal. Under such
circumstances, is it not to be expected, that
she will carefully avoid doing any thing to ex
cite prejudices, nay, even that she will do
! much to conciliate public opinion ? And for
I this prudent regard to self-preservation, does
' she expect the united confidence of the states? 1
I By no means. The questions for our deter
| ruination, are: Has the bank of the United
States extraordinary powers—and arc there
temptations to tlie abuse of the powers? Yom
committee unhesitatingly answer these ques
tions in the affirmative, and believe them to
he conclusive upon the subject—Therefore
they respectfully recommend the' adoption of
the followin'.'' resolutions ;

('ongrcKKiona! Election.
On Monday last, ail election took place,
throughout this State, for a member of Con
gress to supply the vacancy, occasioned by
the Gubernatorial election of Mr. Li-mpkin.
The candidates were, A. S. Clayton, of
Athens, and VVm. Schley, of Augusta. We
anticipate asclose a contest in this, as in the
late election for Governor; although there
will not have been more than half as many
votes polled. In this county, the canvass
was lukewarm—yet, notwithstanding there
were 542 votes given in—of which 100 were
probably transient, or from other counties,
who were visiting our market, Ac. The re
sult is as favorable, and more so, than wc had

vuksidi;nt’s mes sag e .
Anticipating,.we had prepared ourself for
an early delivery to our subscribers of this an
nual and inteicsting document. Rut, although
there has been reasonable time for its arrival
here,(presuming it to have been presented to
Congress on yesterday week) it has not yet
come to hand.
Xlc
The proceedings in this body, received by
yesterday morning’s mail, are, in the Senate, up
to the Bth, and in the HoUse, to the 9th inst.
In the former branch all of interest that we
notice, is the passage of a bill to alter and amend
an act imposing an additional tax on pedlers and
itinerant traders, passed December 9, 1821 ; and
to punish such traders far illegally trading with
slaves. [The Journal of y esterday, does not in
form us of the provisions of this hill.} In pas
sing, we would beg loavo to suggest to our re
spected brothers at the Metropolis, the propriety
of giving the substance, if they cannot the de
tails, of all hills of general interest, as soon as
1 they are passed and journalized. It is to them
only, we can look for them ; because no other
reporters are there. Yet we are aware that there
is no censure to be attached to them ; lately we
found great difficulty to arrive at the same object,
when we bestowed almost entire attention to the
deliberations of the Legislature. As there are
so few gifted in the stenographic art, we should
be glad to See some public provision made to have
the proceedings and debates of the Legislature
reported, to such an extent, as would enable the
earliest information be given. It is due to the
public ; for during the silting of the Legislature,
all eyes and attention, are directed to its doings.
Hence the advantage and even justice of doings
so, is apparent; inasmuch as it would spread the
earliest intelligence before the peoplo, who arc
always anxious to know what the Legislature is
doing ; and what is more important, it would also
cnabie suclt individuals as are immediately con
cerned in the modification or creation of new
laws, to meet and obey their obligations with less
detriment to their particular interests. We
make these suggestions with a due allowance for
the laborious duties of our Milledgevilie coadju*
i tors, for we know they arc heavy ; but the mo
tive which actuate us, is nothing less than the
public weal, and will we hope, be considered am
ply sufficient to the due consideration of them.
Beside the hill above alluded to, the committee
in the Senate, to w hom was referred the correspon
dence between the Executive Department of this
State and the Secretary of Wat, with regard to
the condition of the Creek Indians, reported—
“Thatwhile they approve the policy ol tho
General Government in relation to these people,
the subject is not one which can properly come
beforo the General Assembly of this State, inas
much as they are not within the jurisdiction of
this State, and consequently, not within its pro
tection : they therefore beg leave to be dismissed
front the further consideration of the subject.”—
Tue report was ageed to.
The House for sevctal days past, has been en
gaged in the interesting discussion ot the Land
and Convention Bills—the passage of the former,
in that branch of our Legislature, wo announc
ed in our last, the debate on which we commence
to day—and tho passage of the latter, in the
same body, we have now the pleasure of also an
nouncing, accompanied with tho hopo that the
Senate mav meet it with a reception equally flat
teriug and auspicious to the cause of representa
tive governments.
On the 9th, another subject of great importance,
the hill to abolish Penitentiary punishment in this
State, wasbrought on the tapis of tiic House. Its
passage was supported (says the Journal) by-
Messrs. Pettit and Howard, and opposed by
Messrs. Chappell, Oliver, King, Merriwether,
and Flen n 'The House adjourned without j
coming to a decision on the subject.
DOCTOR COOPER.
The Legislature of Smitli-Carolina have
been discussing a Resolution requiring the
dismissal of this gentleman from the College
of that state. The cause of complaint ap
pears to he, certain infidel writings, as they
arc termed, which have been attributed to the
pen of Doctor C. The Resolution has been
tor the present disposed of, bv referring the
charges to the Board of Trustees of the Col
lege, w ith an understanding that the Doctor
should be dismissed, in case they bo substan
tiated.
The writings alluded to, are, wc believe, of
an anonymous character. Our readers may
probably recollect tif having heard, some
time since, much talk about them. Of their
tenets, we know nothing, never having rend
or seen them. No evidence, however, has
yet appeared to establish the fact of the Pre
sident’s being the author. And whether he j
is, or is not, appears to us a subject of very lit- j
tie interest to the community in which he]
lives, so long, at least, as he refrains from
teaching the College over which he presides,
his faith and dogmas, or the faith and dog-!
mas of any other sect, whatever.
Dr. Cooper is between 70 and P 0 years of
age, and if wc recollect aright, is a son-in-law ?
and was a pupil of the distinguished Dr.
PRiestlev, whose religious partialities, it is
supposed, iie imbibed—ln a word, we believe
he is a Unitaiian, to which denomination is
attached some of the most distinguished citi
zens in our union ; such as J. Q. Adams. Ja
red Sparks, and others as highly distinguished
for moral,political anil literary fame.
Dr. C. is considered to he one of the most:
erudite scholars in the Union. In the Re-1
public of the States, as well as in the Repuh-;
lie of Letters, he is ardent and patriotic; and :
even at his present advanced stage of life, is j
said to lie one of the most indt fitigahle stn- i
dents in the country. He enjoyed the confi-j
dence of the Sage of Monticelio for many
years before the decease of that illustrious per
sonage. The sen ices of such a man should
not be ins! for “ slight and transient causes.”

We have been’favored with the first num
ber of this paper, published at Washington J
City, by the eck-braied Mrs. Anne RovaJl, ]

nor censure could add to, or diminish. Her j
quills fly about ih. beads of govorment.il ofli- !

lady’s style, is not in the least diminished, as ;
will be perceived fiotn the following extracts
which we make from Iter salutatory t
“We shall patronize merit of whatsoever j

“For the rest, let all pious generals, colo

Forcin'ei
The last northern papers brought us Lon
don dates to the 15th, and Portsmouth to the
17tb October. Tho excitement occasioned
by the rejection of the Reform Bill had not
subsided. Their majesties, the Mobocrats,
wore, it seems, in the full exercise of their
privileges. The Duke of Newcastle’s splen
did castle of Nottingham, was burnt to the
ground. The Marquis of Londonderry too
was pelted with stones, —the Duke of Cum
berland was also handled a little roughly, be
ing unceremoniously dragged from liis hotse,
in the I’atk, wjiilc proceeding to the Ilonse
of Lords—and, “tho’ last not least,” the Hero
of Waterloo, the invincible Wellington, had
his optics obscured by the application of a
mud rtAisxEK. “To what vile uses may wc
come at last, Horatio!”.
These are pretty strong evidences that John
Dull is equally tenacious of his rights, in cer
tain particulars, as even brother Johnathan
himself could he. Notwithstanding these
violent proceedings, we think we can see a
moral spirit going abroad in England, which
augurs well for the future condition of her
people. The Lord Chancellor, in the House
of Lords, in presenting apeurtdn from Peter
head, said—“l tell them (the people,) that
Reform is only delayed for a short period—l
tell them that the hill will pass—that the hill
Mfsr pass—that a bill founded exactly on the
same principles, and equally extensive and,
efficient as the bill which has been thrown
out, shall in a very short period, become
part and parcel of tho law of the land.”

If the whole population of Georgia could lie
taken up from where they now are, and act
down in a country where there bad been anv
considerable progress made in the improve
ment of transportation; and suffered to look
around them one day on those of its effects
which are visible to the eye, they would with
one united voice ducct ali the available ener
gies of the social system to that end. On
merely witnessing the growth of towns, the
improvements in building, the various im
provements in agriculture, the increased pro
ductiveness of land, they would be tempted
to doubt the fact, that such vast and varied
effects could flow from such a cause. The
splendid bridges, aqueducts, and other public
edifices, arc some of the objects they would
see. The ten thousand resulting comforts
and conveniences, they would feel ; and the
double, tieble, or four-fold rise in the . price
of land, they might hear—and they 'would
deem it an almost criminal neglect of what
was due to themselves, to loose any further
time in setting about the same thing.
As, however, the whole population of nei
ther this nor any other community can ever
beoecular witnessess of what happens in oth
er parts of the country, they must roly on in
formation arid their own reason; and although
one'would suppose that well authenticated
facts, aided by reason and quickened by inte
rest, would soon diffuse themselves among a
reasonable neople who aje alive to their intc
r* sts, \et the fact is not always so. Here wc
uro in Georgia with a most fertile sol!, as tine
a climate throughout mdre than half the state,
as there is in the world ; and with topograph
ical facilities beyond most other countries.
We have constant communication with the
Northern States, where such works have been
going on for many years, and with Europe
where they have been progressing still longer.
Wc have ercry day, accounts of the general
diffusion of public ami individual wealth in all
its forms, the impulse it is now- giving to trade,
to agriculture, and all the arts and the social
comic rts and advantages of quick communi
cation ; and yet, we have taken hardly the
first step —and we never shall take any effec
tual step, till the people in general shall know
and feel how deep a stake they have in the
matter. This they do not know, or they would
act. When they come to feel a sufficient as-
sufancc that they can by this mean have a
market at their door, and can raise profitably
for sale a variety of articles which they now
never think of carrying from home; when
corn, for instance, can be conveyed hundreds
:of miles, and the exact amount that can be
obtained fora crop can be previously known :
when any farmer can thus have a market for
his heaviest articles, if there is a demand in
any part of the State or j-lsewhere, the great
; hotly of the people w ill begin to discover that
the legislature cannot be better employed than
:in endeavoring seriously and in earnest, to
! bring about such a state of things. And w hen
I the people of the upper counties eoine duly to
! reflect that they produce no article except
1 gold, and cannot make or produce any other
that can hear conveyance from their extreme
inland situation by the present mode of trans
portation ; but, that by the recent improve
ments all their heavy products would be cash
j articles at little more than the cost of produc*
j tion, they will be the most zealous of all our
! citizens in promoting this great concern.—
J And it will not be long, I trust, before our
! brethren of the West w ill see and reflect
enough upon the subject to be duly sensible
of the peculiarity of their situation. 1 speak
of their situation as peculiar, because they,
of all the people of Georgia, are most imme
diately interested in the advancement of such
improvements among us. Flour and cider,
fruit, rve, oats, barley, tobacco, and iron and :
’load, lime, gypsum, elate, marble, and the |
ochres, might as well be produced or discov- 1
cred in the Rocky Mountains as in our upper
counties, for any benefit they'would be to

be established, though it he not more rapid}
than now exists on the Baltimore Rail Road,:
where a hundred barrels of flour travels safely j

let them discover that every acre of land which
now sells' for two dollars would then sell for
six, as is already the case on the New \ork '
canal; and they would be the foremost to urge J
forward the energies of the government and
individual enterprise, to so necessary and im
portant a purpose. When they come to see these
things, they will discover many other advan

mountain streams furnish numerous mill seats,
which castor work their iron into every

and manufacture their products in every mode
