Wl. 0 riie pi! TisilnACfi HiMU .: -•- rt; I' oh* in' Do -. J ■ i itu’tsman. We have nrith r lime nor room to give a Synovia of tne whole report, hut 11c cannot refnt: from ; i.tinr the attention of the rea der pjr.'oiiu ’ uw of its prominent pom;.;. The loan to the New York Courier • anti' Enquirer oi to'-' 975. and thecircunistan I ccs under which it was made, is perhaps, one j ot the most ami shameful transac- ■ tiotis of the Lind on record, it seems to jus- ! thy fully, and to the utmost ex tent, the charge against the hank of subsidizing the press, j The attempt to cover up the U msaction on- . dor the pica that the loan was made by Mr. Burrows to '.it. M ebb, is a most abortive ami j rtiinsy apology. These notps for $15,000,1 signed by one of the partners and endorsed j by'the other, payable in 1, 2,3,4, and 5; years;-were,fitter remaining in Barrows’ pock et nearly a year, disco inti and at the bank,With out thd knowledge of tiie Direotois. When the investigation was moved in Congress, these notes, were withdrawn ns vvi i! ,is others and the notes of oilier persons substituted lor j them. We say, taking the whole transaction j into view, that the Courier and Enquirer at; tiie time of the first loan, changed its course j relative to tiie bank,-end from an opponent became an advocate for tlio renewal of the churiei—that tiie notes had an unusual time to run for bankable papei—that the sum was unusually large, aid the. security, consider, pig the amount not the the withdrawal of the notes indicate conscious guilt, the concerted absence of Burrows, whose testimony was much desired bv the committee, constitute a chain of circumstan ces, winch products the irr sistible convic tion of collusion between the parties, impli cating the character of the President of the bank, and the parties to the note. Argu ment will not remove this impression from the public mind. Ihe next point to which wc particularly "call the public attention, is the spirit of fa voritism in making loans, and in dealing in exchange. The minions: sums loaned to ’ nomas Biddle & Cos., amounting at times to more than eleven hundred thousand dollars, find never legs than four hundred thousand dollars, was lining great injustice to the pub lic; and the high price paid for the enor mous sums of exchange, to this same Thorn es Middle A:-Co., was detrimental to the in terest of the hunk, inasmuch as a higher price was.paid for it to this firm than it could have been bought for elsewhere; and cer tainly justifies the suspicion that Nicholas Biddle, the President of the bank, had more interest ip paying a high r premium for ex change to Thomas Biddle & Cos., than a low i> io for tliejjank. Phis transaction most as suredly impugns his integrity or his inteib pence, and tlie public will decide for them s Ives which. The people of P insylvania have been made to believe that the bank capital employ ed us Iti© Stale was of gr at service to them —"they have been worked up to fed asor of State prideon the subject—and the ciiiz ns of Philadelphia have boon particularly sen sitive on this point. But when they learn that of the *>7,9 5.1, 079, die amount of cap dal thus employed, more than $3,000,000 are loaned to twenty-acrcn persons, and that 8 >,-434,111, arc loaned to ninety nine indi viduals, they will sci" that the pretence that the bank operates for the public good, or that it is a benefit to the State of Pennsyl vania, is all a sham. They will distinctly perceive that it is an engine worked for the boo fit of a favored few at the cost of the . oppressed many. Tut: citizens of Philadel phia themselves must not only seo this, but must have felt it. T .Vo now com.: to the donations for roads.— Tim bank, it seems, has given some $5030 for the purposes of internal improvement. This is not only a direct violation of its char ter, and a gross waste of tue money of the stock holders, but a portion of it was given under circumstances peculiarly olTeusive to the public feeling. Immediately after Gen. j Jackson had put his veto on the Marseille I road bill, on the ground that that appropria-1 tion was unconstitutional, and which vetoj met the decided approbation of at least three-! fourths of the people of the Union, Mr-1 1 resident indule, as it to show his,contempt fertile opinion of President Jackson, under-j took as President of the bank, to patronize internal improvements, and gave SISOO to aid in building a road in Ohio. Three hun dred dollars of this stun belonged to the Uni ted States, and the residue to individual stqok holders. It requires not only the authority of Congress, but the sanction of the Presi dent, to appropriate the public fun ! s for this . ortany other purpose, but President Biddle, apparently, in? lit only on rebuking President Jackson for the: veto, givestho public funds to promote ' intermd improvement, without either law or right. The next point of importance is, that .’Jr. Biddle has in isbwn hands votes enough, bv means of his proxies, to elect all the Direc tor? . This may not bo, and we think is not, in violation of the frtfer of'the charter, but it is in violation of its spirit. No individual, however, much be the stock ho owns, can give over thirty votes'in his own right, am] yet Mr. Biddle, by a palpable evasion ol the spirit of this sdutary provision, which was intended to prevent any single individual from controlling the bank, lias, by his prox ies, the entire control of the Corporation, for the time Icing. The election of directors and cv ry ,v.i depends upon his * ill mid in-> votes. T printing, which, from th-* ordinary annual cost of $l5O to* ♦sdsi), rose suddenly i;i I'Min to SB,7(W and, in I *3l to $9,P'7, 'i'liis printing, we havo no doubt, was fertile extra newspapers cn tainlng .Mr. McDuffie'; celebrated report, .Mr. Gallatin's essay, and othpr electioneer* iirgtvwOjUpryin -/avor of tHe bank. Besn!;*" the reprehension which this petty direct mode of subsidizing the press merits, there is mother view of the subject which calls for^foi-it'd- egad’-s .i" ; tis the tt onio ! t:o.i ol the rigut to speiiu t,ne public money j o print file d’ocu.nvnls of Cougr-ss. Gon |yr>.ss ordered as on ,y of Mr. McDuffie’s Mu.-pers pn. and ; iS tii, y, who are legal judges riu the- case, tiiought riecessarx. The bank j hi its superior wisdom, —superior in lire case ' t interna! improvement" to t,hat ol General Jackson’s, and in the ccs.- ot printing to that ot Congress— orders an hundred fold the number printed which Congress thought i enough, and wrong).illy appropriates the j money of the U.iited States to pay tor this illegal transaction, it is to In regretted that the committee were not more minute on this subject. In regard to lawyers’ fees, tiie committee have said just enough to excite, without sat •dying, public curiosity. They do not give us the amount paid, nor to whom paid, for legal advice. They in. rely say that the sum paid for attornies does not embrace the cx pt nse of counsellors and solicitors. Wc saw a while since, a statement from the bank by which it appeared, that in Philadelphia alone", lor tii lust twelve years, the bank hud paid $72,090 for attornies’ foes. The public uould like a statement allowing ali tiie fees paid to lawyers by the bank, including attor ui s, counsellors an i solicitors, and ernbrac* ing the sums paid at all the branches, as well as those in Philadelphia ; and particularly to s.unv how many members of Congress, and whom, are retained jrrofessionally as coun sellors or solicitors or the hank, it would be a valuable document. Much lias been said about the payment of the 3 per cents., and the friends of the bank have awarded it credit for a disinterested zeal for the public good, in prevailing on the Government to postpone the payment of the stock, from July to October; and to save the Government harmless from loss of inter est, it has generously agreed to pay one quar ter’s interest from its own funds, rather than distress the public by an early payment of this stock. 'Plie coimnitLe seem hardly to understand why the bank does this. On ex amination, however, it will appear that this act of the bank, is about as disinterested as many others tor which it has been commend ed. The Government money, with which J 7 this stock is to be paid, is deposited in the United States Bank, or which the bank pays no interest, but on which it discounts, and draws interest at tiie rate, including discount on drafts, of from oto 8 per cent, in the arrangement it has made to postpone the payment of this sum, by allowing to tin Gov ernment the interest, it in effect, consents to pay :i per cent, on the Government deposits, and at the same time it ts from individuals, to whom tiiesc deposits are loaned, from G to 8 per cent. We now advert to tiie last point, to which we particularly solicit the attention of the read r; our space will not permit us to be more c liberate, —it is the subject of checks. Congress-saw (it, in granting the charter, to require all the bills to he signed by tiie Pu s ident and Cashier, doubtless for the purpose, among other r. isons, to guard the public against counterfeits, because people could more easily become familiar with one than with twenty signatures, and to prevent a re dundant issue ol small notes, w hich arc more often worn out and lost than large ones, and thus become a tax upon the public, for ‘in: hem fit oi tin: bank. The bank at three several > times applied to Congress for an alteration ol this clause and for permission to issue bills signed by the pres.dents and cashiers of the respective branches ; and they wvr as often r. fused. They contrived the plan of checks or drifts, as the bank calls them.—These I chocks arc made in the exact similitude of their bills—signed by the preside nts and i cashiers of the various branches—made for the purpose of circulating, and are circulated as currency, to evade the before named pro vision of their charter. Thus in violation of the restrictions of their charter—in dc-fi-1 ance of the authority of Congress, the hank 1 lias put forth more than seven millions of dol lars of this illegal arid spurious currency.— Perhaps a more reckless disregard of law and the constituted authorities of the country could not lie found in searching our whole history. On this subject, we will not now enlarge—our limits warn us to close—hut before, doing it, let us urge our readers to peruse the r port carefully,—it is well worth the time. There is enough in it to show that the bank ought not to he renewed, and that there ought to be a more careful and thorough investigation into its affairs. Con gress will do well to appoint a committee for this purpose, to sit during the summer and fall. From the N. Y. Journal of Commerce. Whoever is accustomed to road the pages of Blackwood's Magazine, need not he told that it is a staunch advocate for the princit pies of Tory-isrn. A late arrival has brought us the first number of a .Magazine published side by side with the former, in (lie good city of Edinburgh, which appears designed as an antidote to Blackwood, and all other publica tions levelled against the cause of the peo ple. “Tait’s Edinburgh Magazine” is its title, and the following is a specimen of its principles. Speaking of the great change which has taken place in pubiic sentiment in respect to tin! rights of the people, and which is still in progress,. the Editors remark : i: The fir-t note, in the march of this “‘change, was sounded at. Lexington, in America, riiere the first volley of musketry was tired at the bosoms of the colonists; t here the first blood flowed in a contest which had its origin in the assertions of a great principle of public liberty—viz, that taxation without representation is tyranny and opurossion • •'<! which, after various turns of fortune, re. coiri .it . ‘-mmiuht rvi in victory and huh : p'-ridenc-. Foilyswd infatuation, almost in credible in these tunes, when tyrants have become hotter instructed in the means ol repression, aided the cause of justice and lib erty. The might seemed in enormous dis proportion to the right;—lfut the right, never theli ss, prevailed. America was emancipa ted ; ami, happily for herself, she found a Washington to consolidate, by popular in- ViVAion*, planted on the broadest basis, that j troedojn arid mdepe donee’-which .he'had so gloriously conquf red lor his country. A hat freeman’s heart does not warm at die ri *me of that samt-likc hero and guardian of liberty? Arid who can think,without proud exultation, : ol the conquest achieved by tiie wisdom of franklin and the virtue of Washington? But these great men, and scarcely less amiable associates, conquered not for (hems Ives a loue. They, indeed, overthrew and falsified fill pre-existmg theories of government, by establishing a pure democracy in one of the I largest as well as richest count ri s of the | world, and by organizing it so as to enable it ito resist every shock to which it migh be ex j posed, and to extend itself on every side with* i out materially endangering the principle of central union and strength. But this, con j re< ! by itsoli, was not, in our estimation, their greatest achievement. They gave a new impulse to the human mind throughout the whole civilized world. They roused it from the lethargy into which it had sunk They forced men to think, to inquire, and to discuss. Asserting right against might— principle against authority and dictation,— they rallied around them the sympathies of generous spirits in ail countries. For the first time there began to be a public opinion. Popular at first as are all wars with the un thinking multitude, the disastrous events of the contest soon produced a powerful reaction in tins country. Parliament resounded witli denunciations uttered in strains of eloquence worthy ot the best days of Greece and Koine. In the fierce collision of parties, and the dis cussion of passing topics, great principles were evolved. Light glenmed from the vves tern sky, and was reflected, in a concentrated and dazzling radiance, by the great mirrors of Parliament. The press, too, became ani mated ; and obscurely conscious of its power, began to minister to that new-born appetite which was destined to grow by w hat it fed , on. “ A change had already come over tho spirit of the timeand afforded an auspicious prognostication of progressive expansion in time to come. America is, therefore, to he considered as the fatherland of liberty in these modern davs.” ■ A . From the Southern Banner. THE CHEROKEE COUNTRY. IVe call the attention of our traders to an article in our paper to-day, signed “A Survey or.” It is written by a gentleman in whose statements wo place the most implicit confi dence, and whoso opportunities for obtaining correct information on the subject of Ins communication has been very great; having been employed for some time as a surveyor in the Cncrokee country. FOR THE SOUTHERN BANNER. Messrs. Editors —Having recently return ed from the Cherokee nation, I feel it rnv S duty to give such intelligence as may be of interest to the public. I learn; and from a native, that when the Dele- j gatiou returns lrom Washington Citv, it is contemplated that the principal part of the Indians, would bold a meeting to agitate tin propriety of yielding to the wishes of the General Government; and he gives it also as his opinion, that there will be a treaty ef fected during the present summer. 1 ascer tained while in the nation, that manv of the persons w!io have opposed the views and in- ■ terosts of Georgia, have heretofore obtained valuable reservations in Hall and H ib.-rsham, ami sold them, and are now comfortably set tled on the most desirable spots in the na tion. I heard of one individual who has been favoured with two reservations, one in South Carolina, ami one in Georgia, and was more-1 over permitted to give in ana draw a valua ble prize in one of Georgia’s Land Lotteries, j This man is now living on a beautiful farm! in the Cherokee country, wi!ling(no doubt) to' take another reservation, or receive a com fortable portion of the money tint may be finally paid by the Government for the In dian country. One thing, perhaps unknown to many, 1 would mention. 1 have been in formed and mv information proceeds from a source that may be confidently relied on, tint some individuals claiming the right to emi urate, hav* been engaged in purchasing the Indian’s improvom nts at a reduced price, paid too, in merchandize at a high per cent, and having them valued astheironn improve ments, the Indians still suffered as before, to remain on Georgia land. These things ought not so to be. Toe Government ought to ascertain at whose door this s n lieth. And here, Messrs. Editors, suffer me to ask, how would this sit upon the e rofonr Northern enemies, who are cry ing against Georgia, “onpression and cruel ty?” There appears to be no disposition on the part of the Indians to interrupt the survey of the country, which is now rapidly progress ing, some of tiie surveyors are nearly half done, others, have but just commenced. The different periods at which they entered upon the discharge of their duties, will postpone the completion of the survey until some time in August. A"SURVEYOR. Extract of a letter to the Editor of the Cab inet, from a citizen of Warren County, en gaged in the surrey of the Cherokee Coun try, dated, “ Ciierokei? CorxTY, May Ist, 1832.

The busy licrald oi a noisy world.** CASE OF SAMUEL HOUSTON. Samuel Houston was brought to the bar of the House of Representatives. He was al lowed to read and to have spread on the jour nal of the House, a paper protest ing against the authority of the House, hut avowing his submission to it, under tiie circumstances in which he was placed. The Speaker then pronounced the reprimand required by the vote of the House, for the contempt of the House and Breach of Privilege thereof,com mitted by Gen. Houston, in tho followin'* words: Samuel Houston: You have been charged with a violation of the ftglns and privileges of the House cf R invsentatives, in having offered personal violence to one of the members, tor words spoken in debate. In exercising the hiirfi and delicate power of ascertaining and vindi cating their own privileges, the House have proceeded throughout this investigation, ami in relation to your individual rights, with all that deliberation and caution which ought to characterize the dignified and moral justice of such an assembly. You have been heard in person in defence —you have been abb* and eloquently defend ed by eminent counsel, and every facility at forded you to place your criun fully and fair ly before the House, anil to urg ■ upon its consideration matters of principle as well as of fact, in explanation ?.nd justification of your conduct. Whatever the motives or causes may have net n, which led to the act of viol* nee corn milled by you, your conduct lets been pro , hounced, hv the solemn judgment of tli. House, to lie a high breacli of their rights and privileges, and to demand their marked disapprobation and censure. if, in fulfilling the order of the House, i were called upon, as its presiding officer, o reprimand an individual uneducated arid un inform. <l, it might he exoectcd that 1 should ndenvor, as far as 1 was able, to impress up on Hi in the importance and propriety of se dulnusly guarding from violation the rights and privileges secured to the members of tins Hoi"’ by our invaluable Constitution. But, when addressing a citizen of your chariict. r and intelligence, and one who has himself been honored by the People with a seat in this House, it cannot be necessary that 1 should add to the duty enjoined upon me, In dwelling upon the character or consequences of the offence with which you have been charged and found guilty. Whatever has a tendency to impair the freedom of debate in this House—a freedom no lees sacred tiia : the authority of the Constitution itself—or to detract from the independence of the Repre sentatives of the People, m the rightful dis charge of their high functions, you are no doubt sensible, must in the same proportion, weaken and degrade not only the Legislator of the nation itself, hut the character of our free institutions. Your own mind will suggest to you, no doubt, more suitable reflections than any thing which 1 can say could convey. To those reflections 1 am prepared to trust; nee doubting that, had you at the time considered the act of violence which you have commit ted, in the light iri which itiias been regard ed by the House, you would have been spared its disapprobation and censure, and I the du ty of declaring to you the result of it. I forbear to say more, than to pronounce the judgment of the House, which is. that you have been guilty of a high breach of its privi leges, and that you he reprimanded therefor, at its Bar by the Speaker, and in obedience to the order of the House 1 do reprimand you accordingly. You will now' he conducted from the 8.. r of the House, and discharged from the custo dy of the Sergcant-at-Arms. From the Boston Statesman. GEORGIA AN!) THE MISSIONARIES. One of the grounds assumed by the friends of the Georgia Missionaries, and we believe by the Supreme Court, is, that as these Mis sionaries arc citizens of Veimont, and as the Constitution of the United States guarantees that ‘The citizens of each State shall be enti tled to all privileges and immunities of citi zens in the several States,’ the State of Geor gia had no rightto prohibit their residence hi thin b.-r bounds, ev. n if the Cherokee coun try was a part of her t rritory over u hieh ii r jurisdiction was lawfully extended, in no State, n it even excepting Massachusi its, have the Indians and Missionaries found warmer advocates than tfi Connecticut, and vet both in this Slate and in that, the negroes and In dians are deprived of many rights. Not only so, but even white men arc ordered oil, in ConrTf ctinut, under the prescribed forms of Jaw, whenever tlx selectmen chose to think, them ii ;.srich ttuptliov.fihr*- -The follow-’ ing, which we quote from a Canada pap- r will show how these things w- re manage., in the land of blue laws and blue lights. ‘/o Amos Jackson.'’ You are hereby required am! commanded to depart from the town of Newhavun, and reside no more therein; and in case'you tie not depart upon receiving this warning, you will he compelled to pay one dollar and sixty 'even cents per week for the time you shall remain; and in case yon do not depart from said town and do not pay said sum p. r week. you will be ichipped on the nai. and bode, m exceeding ten stripes for i Vry week you aim.'' continue in said town. ‘W ILLIAM MIX, S.

It certainly was not necessary, as a means of placing Mr. Clay before the pubi c as a candidate for the Presidency,for that had ui eady been done in due form by a regular convocation of the elder orethren in Israel.— If they merely wanted to make speeches at Gen.
