related to, and fully accredited bv cv , r member of the same family, can rca ‘".only drafts oil any city in the United ![/ 1 j. ; 0 r purposes of exchange, therefore ! r< h"mtu will more probably have recourse "V-mi, than to any of their own state insfi whose bills are nevertheless, most in nriaMy paid lor the drafts so purchased. All Lj, ills of other banks thus received, are of irse withdrawn from circulation and kept ■ reserve to be presented for,redemption whenever convenience or caprice may direct. 4n( l although by courtesy a transfer of for ‘j,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 ,hc other to make it. It is very easy to con rrjvc t i, e oppression to which state banks may tv thus subjected, and if your committee do > „reatly err, may of them could sustain tlii?* 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 f etors apjiointcd on the part of tho General and who are not chosen with •' I'Tencc to their places of residence, togeth ‘r with three appointed Ity the stockholders ; l): ''i t.ic state in which tho mother bank is 11 l * l 'd, may at any time control its opera lolls* hat security then have the remote inner* o| the confederacy, that their intc '■ * ".'i' 'Toperly respected in a board so ' 'L' liiiZf’d ? Again, it will not he denied that "i icijrn state should not have the power np' sing at tv ofi all of the productive cap ' • 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 ; Rcsolvcd by the Semite anil llovsc of Rep. resentatives of the State of Georgia, in Gener al Assembly net, That our Senators in Con gress, be, and they are hereby instructed, and our Represcntatiues requested to use their u nited and strenuous efforts to prevent any en actment to renew the charter of the bank of the United States. Resolved, That his Excellency the Govern or, be, and be is hereby requested, to forward copies of the foregoing report and resolutions to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress, with a request that the same may he laid beforo Congress at the present ses sion.

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.

Wc are frequently enquired of, what has hcen done with, or is the fate of the bill <*o templating the incorporation of this Institu tion ? As we hear nothing from the metro polis, of it, through the Journal of Monday last, wc infer, and wo In liovts correctly, that it has had but a first art;! Second reading in the House. When wc left the scat of govern ment, appearances, and expressions of opinion, bespoke its passage to a law. t>o mote it be. 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.” LVv. We have been’favored with the first num ber of this paper, published at Washington J City, by the eck-braied Mrs. Anne RovaJl, ] the American Peter Porcupine. Mrs. R. lias | acquired a reputation which neither our praise ! nor censure could add to, or diminish. Her j quills fly about ih. beads of govorment.il ofli- ! cers, members of Congress, Missionaries,and | Anti-Masflntt, with fearful sharpness and ter rible rapidity ! The vigor and chastity of this 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 country, sect or politics. Wc shall advocate the liberty ot the press, the liberty of speech, and the liberty of conscience.” “For the rest, let all pious generals, colo nels and commandants of our army anil navy who make war upon old women, beware—let let all pious postmasters who cheat the gov ernment by franking tracts, beware. Let the pious men w ho have robbed the mail of our money, beware. Let ail pious contrac tors why stop packages beware. Let all pi ous postmasters who cannot read, commence learning henceforth—never too late to learn. Let all pious booksellers who take pious bribes fear and tremble. Let all pious young ladies who hawk tracts into young gentlemen’s rooms beware : and let Old Maids and Old Bachelors marry as soon as they can.” 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.” . t men f* TO SPORTSMEN. The last Georgia Journal contains a spirited challenge to Sportsmen, from Mr. Obediah Adams. lie says, that for live hundred dol lars, he lias “the fleetest horse, from one quarter to a mile, that can be bright toTar versville, in Twiggs county, on the 2lith De cember” next. Cherokee Emigration. We have the fol lowing information on this subject, under date 2!)lii November. “In a letter this day received from the A gent appointed for enrolling the Clicrokees, lie says that by the cxtraordiuaay exertions of the leading men of the nation, the business of emigration went on at lirst very slowly. Yet it gives me pleasure to have it in my power to say the prospects are brightening, and in all probability a sufficient quantity of business will grow out of it to authorize a call for the ! services of the Assessors as early as the 10th !of December. In anticipation of such a state ! of things, 1 have ordt red tne assessors to meet I me at the Agency on that day. Journal. JAttlebury Hawkins , of Louisville, (Kv.) and James M. C. .Montgomery, of De Kalb county, Georgia, have been appointed by the Secretary of W ar, Assessors in the CJierokye Nation.— lbid. Ear the Macon Advertiser. 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 their owners. But let a inode of conveyance | 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 bv the power of one horse at the rate ot a hun dred and sixty miles a day at the very least— 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 tages from this source ofw hich 1 have not hin ted, and which cannot now he foreseen. Their mountain streams furnish numerous mill seats, which castor work their iron into every required form, to saw their marble or lumber and manufacture their products in every mode that the market may invite, and thus render that country wjiatit ought to be,and ultimate j ly must be; one of the most interesti -*g in the i world, for its health, wealth, enterprise and | intelligence, and consequently the efficacy of. its moral [tower. Will the o >$ ,c, , ; ,ow' inhabit that fine country, adont dw.se liberal views; or must the present g sftmtion pae. away to another existence, or i > another land.- and leave the numerouscapaci iesof (hat rc irion to he developed, and its { rent destinies by those who may i lberit or buy out their lands ? The question is *n inttrr* s ingone. 1 ain inclined to the c pinion, and it is a cheering and consoling or. i, that a very few years will force these truths <vi the min do of cur fellow citizens of the West p- ami tnat wc shall soon see them urging t her commence ment of a system so auspicious, so indispen sable to their interests, and sustaining its stea dy, judicious, and temperate prosecution, till it reaches their doors. For they nwsit sec and feel, that after participating equally with ofh ers in every step of its progress, th y will, when t lie line of communication with the sea - coast is completed, come in for a share of its benefits, greatly larger than the people of any otlie section of the State.
