The Hank of iTlacon Isas failed.
Within a few days past, much excitement has
prevailed in our little bustling community, by so
important ar. event as the failure of the Bank of
Macon. It has closed doors, stopped payment
of its bills, and tiVre is every prospect of its
never resnmingjjbusiness. From all that we can
learn, and we have sought to become acquainted
with the facts, yet we, like others, are unable to
state, what portion of the debts will be paid.—
The Bank has constituted assignees, (Messrs.
E. D. Tracy, C. 11. Cole and A. If. Froeinan)
and turned over to them the entire management
of the business... .to which they are devoting
active attention, and as soon as they can do so,
they will more fully acquaint the public with the
condition of the Bank, and the facts which may
be developed.
Dinner to J?fr. Clayton.
A meeting of the citizens of Bibb county was
held at the Court-house in this plaee, on Satur
day last, in pursuance of previous notice, to ten
der to Judge Clayton, a public dinner, as a testi
mony of regard ar.d appreciation of lis public
services, particularly for his masterly opposition
to the United States Bank, and to the Tariff.—
On the occasion. Judge Strong was called to the
chair, and Mr. C. A. Higgins, appointed Sec
retary. The object being stated, a preamble and
resolutions, tendering to Judge Clayton a public
dinner, were submitted by Mr. Seymour, and a
dopted.
The usual committees were appointed to carry
the object of the meeting into effect. An ineffec
tual effort was made to tender ih Dinner to the
Georgia Delegation (Senators and Representa
tives) but subsequently, a resolution was passed,
instructing the inviting committee to “invite
such of our members of Congress as co-operated
with Judge C-layton throughout” (that is to say,
trfose who opposed tha Bank and the Tariff in
toto.)
The Proceedings of the above meeting, were
ordered to be published in all the papors—but up
to a late hour, we have not received a copy of
them—and hence our inability to pul>.ah them.
The Cholera.
In New-York, the Report of the Board of Health,
by this morning’s mail, states the total number of
interments during the 24 hours ending 8 A. M.
on Saturday the2lstiiist. (the latest date) at 140,
of which number 116 were reported as cases from
Cholera.
In Philadelphia... .The report of the Cholera
in this city appears to be premature. The Bul
letin ofthe 21st, received also hy this morning’s
mail, says, “ There is no Asiatic Cholera in Phi
ladelphia.”
The Crisis.
The South will not be a Submissionlut.
After a long and stormy session. Congress has
at last adjourned, and the Representatives of the
People have returned to their homes. The Dele
gates from the North and East, have again made
the South tributary to the Treasury of the United
States, and carried with them our blood, sinews, '
and wealth, to fatten and pamper that overgrown 1
monopoly, the Protective System. The Delegates '
from the South, v. ho havfe been contending for an I
equality of privilegec, ever sine? tire Tariff cfj
1824, they too have returned to their constituents
dejected, but not despairing—defeated, but not
vanquished. They come to tell us, that for six
years they have had no voice in the National Coun
cils—that they have been witnesses of rights bar
tered, and wealth feloniously transferred—that
altho’ elected as the Representatives of the people,
their people have had no representatives ; & that
they, the people, must now represent themselves.
The South, it is true, at one time consented, in
a spirit of magnanimous liberality to grant protec
tion to the Northern and Eastern Manufacturers.
This was done in that kind of feeling with which
a boon would be given to an importunate pauper.
The South, however, in thus conceding her cha
rity did not relinquish her natural, constitutional
and sovereign privilege of withholding it. But,
these Protectionists—these splendid paupers who
have grown rich upon our donations, with an ef
frontery and absurdity that has no example, have
had the unblushinghardihood to tell us,that what
we have heretofore granted as a benefaction , they
have now the privilege of claiming as a right.
Because we protect them to-day, they we
must protect them to-morrow. Than this the
crouching mendicant to whom you had once emp.
tied your purse, could not be guilty of a greater
outrage upon justice and humanity, if he for the
second time boldly thrust himself into your
doors and told you—“ Sir, I begged of you,
one hundred dollars yesterday, and you gave
it to me. In doing so, you established a precedent
which authorises me to claim from you a simi
lar grant, be it mure or less. I now claim it, Sir,
and if you do not yield it, I will force it from you
at the pointof the bayonet”—ln this view of the
subject, we have given a familiar and unsophis
ticated illustration of the Protective System.
In this condition of affairs then, what must the
South do I—lf she is true to herself~if she pos- i
sesses one spark of independence—she must put
the question pacifically to the issue,and say to tha
tax gatherers of the Protective System who line
our seaports, and throng our Custom Houses,
“ IVe won't pay the r l'ux." This is what the mo
norchia! reformers of England told a corrupt I louse
of Lords, and in doing so brought that proud ar
istocracy to asense of its duty—and shall the re
publican reformers of the U. States be afraid to do
less God forbid !
Let us then peaceably and patriotically resist
the Tax. We have not the least apprehension
that it will lead to any thing like civil war. On
thc contrary it could only result in the call of an
extraordinary session of Congress. This would
bring the Manufacturers to their senses—con
vince the North and East generally of their de
pendence upon the South,—and. speedily we pro
phecy, put an end to the protective system, and
SAVE THE UNION.
Tht* Veto.
The adversaries of President Jackson, fondly
autirip.iiril that his Bank Veto would diminish
his popularity. But, unfortunately for them, the
contrary is the fact. It is hailed in every quarter
of the Union, with ,the most unequivocal demon
strations of applause. The Richmond Enquirer
of Tuesday last, says:
“We have seen letters by yesterday’s mail,
which give the most auspicious accounts from O
liioand Pennsylvania, since the reception of the
Bank Veto in those states. Prospects are most
flattering in those quarters. It is said that Gen.
Jackson would receive some thousand votes,
which he did not obtain in 1828. The Veto was
received with acclamation in Portland, Maine,
and a meeting was to be held, and strong resolu
tions passed. In Portsmouth, N. H. the Veto
was received with 100 guns, and Jefferson Hall
was brilliantly lighted up on the occasion.
The Bayonet Keiiitdy.
The pßOTigcTioxisTs having accomplished
their views, will not, we presume, put their
threats in execution. They have menaced us,
however, with another power, in the event of our
resisting the. impositions of their Bill, and that
power is no less than the Navy of the United
States. “ Resist our civil ordinances,” say they,
“ and Andrew Jackson-will blockade your ports,
and hang you all up for Traitors !” This is an
other trick of the cunning manufacturers to de
ceive the uninformed, and intimidate the tempo
rising. Andrew Jackson is with us. Hear
what he has said io his Veto. Although parti
cularly elicited by the Bank question, the senti
ments are of a general tendency, and contain
within them a code of political justice applicable
to every principle of government. Hear him :
“ It is to be regretted that the rich and
jwiwerful toe often bend the acts of govern
ment to tjJvriT selfish parpoaoa. Distinctions
in society will always exist under every just
government. Equality of talents, of educa
tion, or of wealth, cannot be produced by
human institutions. In the full enjoyments
of the gifts of Heaven, and the fruits of
superior industry, economy and virtue, every
man is equally entitled to protection by lair.
But wnen the laws undertake to add to these
natural and just advantages, artificial distinc
tions, to grant t itles, gratuities and exclusive
privileges, to make the rich richer, and the
potent more powerful, the humble members
of society, tbe farmers, mechanics, and la
borers, who have neither the time nor the
means of securing like favors to themsekyes,
have a right to complain of the injustice of
their government.
There are no necessary evils in government.
Its evils exist only in its abuses, if it would
confine itself fo equal protection, and, as
Heaven does its raips, shower its favors alike
on the high and the low, the rich and the
poor ; it would be an unqualified blessing
In the act before me, there seems to be a
wide and unnecessary departure from these
just principles. Nor is our government to
be maintained, or our Union to be preserved
by invasi ons of the, rights and powers o f the,
several States . In thus attempting to make
our general government strong, we make it
■ weak. Its true strength consists in leaving
individuals and States, as much as possible,
to themselves—in making itself felt, notin
its power hut in its bonificence, not in its
control but in its protection, not in binding
the States more closely to tlVc centre, but
leaving each to move unobstructed in its pro
per orbit.”
And think you, people of the South, that a man
who holds such orthodox opinions as we have
here quoted, would interpose the Executive arm
to prevent us from reclaiming that which belongs
to us. We think not. On the contrary, should
a dire necessity require it, that arm would be
raised in our defence.
Bcelisis at Lninuton,
At a meeting of the Citizens of Lexington, and
its vicinity cn Saturday the 21st instant, John
Moore being called to the Chair, and Geo. H.
Young Esqr. appointed Secretary, the follow
ing preamble and resolutions were adopted.
\\ hereas the citizens of Georgia have waited
patiently and looked with anxiety to the late ses
sion of Congress, for relief from an unequal, un
constitutional and oppressive Tariff; but this their
reasonable hope has been disappointed, an ad
journment having taken place, under the distinct
annunciation, that this odious measure is to he re
tained, not only as a canker upon our present in
dustry and labor, but to be perpetuated as a badge
of our servitude upon our posterity. Believing
therefore, as we do, that further forbearance
would be criminal, — Resolv'd, That the citizens
of Oglethorpe county, of all parties, be invited to
attend a public dinner on Friday, the 3d of Au
gust next, in this place, to take into considera
tion the sufferings of our people, and to deter
mine on, and to recommend the inode and meas
ures of redress proper to be adopted.
He nlved, That our Senators and Representa
tives in Congress who voted against the late Bill
to regulate imports &c. and such other persons
as the committee may designate, be invited to
attend with us on that occasion.
Resolved, That John Moore, John Billups,
Geo. 11. Young, Dr. J. B. McJunkin, John
Banks, Augustus Alden, and Jos. 11. Lumpkin
be appointed a committee to forward invitations
to guests, and a committee of 43 persons to pre
pare toasts and make suitable arrangements.
THE VETO AND THE BANK.
It is difficut to describe, says the Washington
Globe, in adequate language, the sublimity of the
moral spectacle now presented to the American
people in tbe person of Andrew Jackson. He
had shed his blood in the war of independence;
lie had won imperishable renown by his defence
of New Orleans : and he had been raised by a
grateful and just people to the highest office in
the world. It seemed that the measure of his
glory was full, and that he had but to repose up
on his laurels and leave history to perform its of
fice in transmitting the story ofhis achievements
and his reward to countless generations. But
danger assailed his country in anew shape. A
monied aristocracy, incautiously organized by
the alarmed statesmen who had encountered the
difficulties of the last war, was acquiring a power
over our people, and an influence in their govern
ment, which threatened to change the character
of our institutions and red nee our States to a de
grading dependence on the nobility and gentry of
a foreign kingdom. He had but to favor thecon
tinuance of what lie found in existence, a second
time sanctioned and confirmed by both Houses
of Congress, to remove every formidable obsta
cle to his re-election, and probable enable him to
conduct the affairs of the nation in harmony and
peace during the residue of his Administration.
But Andrew Jackson is not the man to seek for
l repose when his country is in danger. He view
ed this insidious enemy, this creeping poison,
attacking our institutions at the heart, as more to
be feared than hostile armies. It was the germ
of an American nobility, an instrument to enable
the aristocracy o l England to ‘raise a revenue in
America,’ an object which the Parliament with
the navies and armies of the British Empire
could notenforce, and finally to bring these States
into a dependence on the British Isles, not less
degrading and more fatal to their interests than
flieir colonial condition. Again, to preserve our
independence, has the conquering hero and fear
less patriot, sacrificed his personal ease, and, as
his enemies think, put in jeopardy his re-election
if not his future fame. But his enemies miscal
culate- It is impossible for any man to doubt
the purity of the motives which have impelled
him to tills act; and in the grandeur of the moral
spectacle which his fearlessness and self devo
tion present, he will excite an admi :ion ofhis
virtues and an enthusiasm in his support, which
will overwhelmn and destroy the mercenary
host by which he is assailed. In this act the
glories of the battle-field are eclipsed ! it is the
the crowning chaplet of an immortal fame.
It was on the Fourth of July, that this enemy
of our liberty and independence presented him
self to our Chief and demanded a surrender. Ho
has done as otir fathers did in 1776, asserted the
right of our people to freedom, and of our States
to independence. Mis Message will be hailed
by the true Whigs of this day as a second Decla
ration of Independence, witieh they will sup
port wtth no less ardor and self-devotion than
tbeir fathers did the first.
We cannot hope to add force to the arguments
which the President has adduced in his aamira
ole message; hut we propose to review the
ground he has occupied, and on each point fill
up the details which he has omitted. Perhaps we
may be able to suggest some new arguments and
place those presented in other lights, confirming
the convictions which tbsy must have produced.

The Indian War.
The latest accounts from thc seat of war, are
to the 3rd July. They embrace dates from the
27th June. No concentration of the military
forces, nor no general plan of operations, it would
| seem had then taken place. A desultory warfare
between detached commands, was carrying oh,
principally between the Indians and our Militfo,
in which thc latter were invariably successful.--.
We are, however, seriously inclined to believe,
that our western frontiers have yet much to sut*
fer, if the following melancholy and alarming in
telligence should he, ns we fear it is, correct. It
will prevent a timely co-operation of the fqpea
called out for the Expedition and probably pro
crastinate the border war to anothercampaign.

CHOLERA IN DETROIT—INDIAN WAR.
Extract of a Letter to the Editor of tbe Penn*
sylvania Inquirer, dated Detroit, July 12.
Dear Sir —The Cholera continues to pre
vail in this city. Between thirty and forty
cases, in all, have occurred ; and of these a
bout eighteen have resulted in death. Mot
of the others arc convalescent; the remainder
doubtful. Facts and experience Imve fully
demonstrated here, that the disease is not
contagious, but epidemic, and that undue ex
citement and fear exercise an active agency
iri producing thc mortality among its subjects.
The town is almost deserted by ijs landing
inhabitants ; and thc countenances of Ihe re
maining citizens, with some few exceptions,
exhibit marks of unusual depression and me
lancholy. This is greatly to be lamented.—
The effect is unhappy.' With every deter
mination to resist the mental contagion, I oc
casionally find myself just in the net of yield
ing to it. My family have, sofa-, entirely
escaped. How longthis exemption may con
tinue, I know not; but I do not allow the idea
of dread to prevail among them, and believe
that, up to this moment, they have not known
what apprehension on the subject was.
I regret to add, that the intelligence from
thc regular troops is disastrous. Of the thre o
companies of artillery under Col. Twiggs,and
two or three companies of infantry with them,
few remain. These troops you will recollect
landed from thc steamboat Henry Clay below
Fort Gratiot. A great number of them have
bten swept off by the disease. Nearly all the
others hai\e. deserted- Of the deserters, scat
tered all over the country, tunic have died in
the woods, and their bodies have been de
voured by the wolves. I use the language of
a gallant young officer. Others have taken
their flight tr the world of spirits, without *a
companion to close their eyes, or console tho
last moments of their existence. Their strag
gling survivors are occasionally seen march
ing, some of them know not whither, with
their knapsacks on their backs, Shunned bv
the terrified inhabitants as thc shurco of a.
mortal pestilence.
Col. Twiggs himself, and Surgeon Everett,
have both been attacked, and arc very low.
They were still living at the latest accounts
from Fort Gratiot, and sanguine hopest were
entertained of their recovery. No other offi
cers have yet been assailed, except Lieuten
ant Clay, whose death was mentioned to you
in my previous letter-
You will remember that the troops under
Col. Cummings, several of whom died here,
embarked on hoard the steam-boat William
Penn, on Sunday last, for Cicago. The sick
ness among them increased as they proceed
ed to Fort Gratiot, and become so great by
the time they arrived there, that they wera
disembarked, and have returned to the vicini
ty ot litis city, and encamped at Springwa”,
about three miles below town. Seventeen
or eighteen of them have died, and some*
still remain sick, probably never to recover.
One half of the command of Gen. Scott, or
dered to Chicago by the-Lakes, will never
reach him; a large porton of them dying; a
still larger number of them deserting from
an overwhelming dread of the ('incase, ami
the residue obliged to march back.
This is a gloomy picture ; hut it is liter*
ally true.
We have had intelligence from the scene
of Indian war, yesterday and this morning.—
Gen. Dodge, near Galena, had encountered
.hDhowlic*, of consisting of twelve,
and killed fWrymitu of them, scalped ctTveg,
Captain Stephenson, near the same place,' 1
had encountered another body of them, ani,
killed six or seven, losing three of hi# own
men. Tbe fight was close and desperate, tbo
instruments ot the sanguinary contest being
chiefly bayonets, knives, and tommc.hawkx.
The most unfavorable part of the war mteili
gcnce is, that Black Hawk, with the mam
Indian army, had retreated to the west of the
Mississippi, where it will be difficult to take
him. It. is to be hoped that pence will never
be made with him, oranyofliis hostile al-.
lies, until they are placet! beyond the possi
bility of comniiting another depredation or
massacre. The frontier inhabitants have be
come exceedingly oxasperated; and many of
them, without knowing the real situation of
Gen. Atkison, have blamed his apparently
slow movements. J have no doubt that he
has, under the circumstances, acted tor the
best. Yours truly, JOHN NOR YELL.

This is a dreadful picture, and much resemble 3
the contagion which spread destruction and con
sternation throughout the Russian army at the
time of the death of Diebitecli.
