he did not commit the crime, :tnd hence,
I am sure, those who were friendly to
him got me on the panel, and had me
retairn d.
The trial commenced and we twelve
men took our seats in the jurv box. I
had a very respectable set with hip—
only there was ore man whom I didn’t
like to see there. This man was Moul
ton Warren, lie was a dark faced sin
ister looking fellow—at least to me. I
knc ' that young Ambold had one fault.
He had recently been addicted to drink,
and had been known to visit disreputa
ble houses. It was one of those houses
that had been burned, for setting fire
to which lie had been apprehended.
Now’, I had often tried to dissuade
Charles Ambold from ilie course he was
persuing. He had repeatedly promised
me that he would reform, and as repea
tedly had he broken away. 1 had often
talked to him of Ids poor mother, until
he had wept like a child ; lint the effect
was not lasting. There was a power of
temptation more effective than a»v in
fluence I could wield. He would fall
away into this evil eompanion.-hip, and
for a while his manhood was gone. One
or two abandoned women had gained
great power over hint, and upon them
lie wasted much of his substance.
And I knew that this very man who
was now upon the jury—this Moulton
VVairen—was the one who had done
more than all others to lead the poor
youth awav. It. was Warren who had
drank with him, and who ha.', led him
away to those more abominable haunts
of sin and pollution. Why was lie upon
the jury? I could only account, for it
upon the ground that Charley still sup
posed him to be his friend. The poor
scorched insect was-till ignorant of the
flame that scorched him. He reallv lie
lieved that Moulton Warren was his
friend.
The trial commenced. The indictment
set forth that Charles Am old had, ‘with
malice afore thought.’ and with all sorts
of wicked and felonious intents, set. fire
to a certain dwelling house, thereby en
dangering human jife. Tiiis dwelling,
as I have already intimated, was a low
sink of iniquity, where the abandoned
of both sexes were wont to congregate;
and where the youthful prisoner had
spent much of his time.
The evidence for the prosecution came
on, and I was startled. One after anoth
er gave in their testimony, some of them
very reluctantly, and I was frightened
when I saw how plainly it all pointed to
the piisoner as the guilty paitv. Sev
eral credible witnesses swore '.hat they
had heard him threaten to burn the
house down; and others had heard him
say repeatedly that he wished that it
was burned dov.n ! Then came several
witnesses-three of them prominent citi
zens—who saw him lurking about tfie
premises on the night of the fire.
With regard to the provocation on
the prisoner’s part for such a deed it was
proved, upon his own admission, that he
had been ill-treated there and that he
had sworn to have revenge. And fur-
ther.nore, it was proved that he had
been heard to sav that his salvation of
er’s good qualities ; but no one could j of the sheet which had been used to fire
swear that lie was not dissipated and J the burned house! I went to the table
degraded. That house had been to Ii'ir.
indeed, a region infernal. Rs degrada
tion cried out for his bodilv life; audits
existence had long been eating away his
soul. Poor Charley ! I had before been
sure of his innocence; but now I could
only shake my head and pity him !
Finally he was allowed to speak for
himself. He said lie was innocent of .he
crime imputed to him. He said that he
had threatened to hum that house down
—that, he had said about all that had
been sworn to. And furthermore, lie
was around ilie house on the night of
the fire. lie was not ten rods off when
1 lie flames hurst forth and lie was one
of the first to give the alarm. He had
uttered one cry of fire when he noticed
where the flames must have originated,
and the thought came to him if he were
to be found there, he might be suspected
of having set tiie the; so he ran away.
He also said that three nights before the
confiagiation, he l.ad been robbed in
that house, llis pockets had been emp
tied cf every thing in them ; and hi>
pocket book containing forty dollars in
money, and some valuable papers had
been taken. He had gone there on the
night of the tire to try and persuade
them to give him back his money and
papers—or at least to get hack what he
could. When he got there lie saw a
man go in whom he did not wish to see,
so lie had hung around, waiting for
him to depart. He was around hy the
back of the building once-and that was
an hour before the fire.broke out. lie
knew nothing—nothing. He clasped
liis hands, and with his tear'ess eyes
raised towards heaven, lie called to God
to witness that he was innocent!
found that I had taken it from
Moulton Warren’s hat! I looked to see
if 1 had been observed—and I had not.
I put. the paper back, and then took a
piece from my own hat, which was of
tlie same pattern as the other, and hv
its side.
I returned to the table and sat down.
Warren was by my side. He had wnt-
ten his opinion and took a knife from
his pocket to cut il from the large sheet.
4 Let me take your knife a moment, if
von please,’ I said to him.
Without hesitation he did so. I took
forgot it.
Thus was Charley saved — and save*!
from more than an ignominious death,
too. He was saved to be a noble, vir
tuous man; and his mother once more
took ample delight and joy in the love
and tender care of her only child.
When Charles Ambold knew that
Moulton Warren had expiated his crime
on the gallows, he sat down and ponder
ed upon his past life. The thought of
his old companion being hanged sent a
strange thrill through his farmc. But
he was able to trace out, clearly and 'og-
ically, this terrible result from the course
of life tin’s ill fated man had pursued.—
He shuddered as he remembered lion-
far lie had gone in the same course, him
self ; and he was able to see the only
safe path of any youth.
Not only must lie shun temptation—
not only keep clear of even the appear
ance of vice—but. above all he must
slum evil companionship. A youth may
make all the good resolutions thought
can afford, hut if he continue one evil
companionship lie is not safe !
The Bank Veto.
This topic has already absorbed so much
interest, from its importance and variety of
opinions and comments it has elicited, that
I feel reluctance in occupying even a short
space in your columns, for the purpose of
giving expression to my own vicw3, in regard
to it When so much has been said, iittle is
left new to communicate, nnd I cannot hope
to add much to the proper elucidation of the
it—it was Chatles Ambold’s knife ! The subject, except upon the principle .«in a
large blade was g.'-ne! With all the
power 1 possessed, I restrained my deep
emotions, and having cut my paper, 1
handed back the knife.
Why should he have that knife so
boldiv about him ? I afterwards learn
ed. He had not worn those pantaloons
before since the night of the fire ; and
now he used the knife, probably, with
out tbe least remembrance of the loss it
had sustained during a very peculiar
piece of work, to the execution of which
it was made subservient.
We talked for some ten minutes, and
1 found that eleven of the jury were
bent on rendering a verdict of guilty ;
though most of them were in favor of
recommending the prisoner to mercy.—
Moulton Warren was decided. He had
no mercy at all.
Presently I started up and pretended
to be faint. I said I must go out a few
moments. I kicked at the door and the
deputy sheriff came. He heard my plea
and let me .out. As soon as we had
gained a safe distance, l told him all.—
lie was astonished. He went awav, and

nnd if the people are not well counsel) d, it
will be owing more to lack of wisdom than

In tbe views I shall present, sir, I will
studious’y avoid angry controversy and vi_
tuperation.
I regard the veto message as a just re
buke to the present banking system ofGeor-
gia. and it is couched in language of strong
and intelligible import. There is no seeking
for honied phrases to conciliate the favor of
tbe system he rebakes—he disapproves of it.
and his language is the truthful outpourings
of that disapprobation—bis phraseology is
not plaited, and gracefully folded around
the subject, to coi ceal from the people of
Georgia his views He speaks what he feels,
and what thirty thousand majority of the
people to day feel toward the monied mono
lies of Georgia. I co.dially eudorse not only
his sentiments, hut the language in which
he utters them—he was taught when there
was no bank alphabet, but plain English
letters, and he nses them in their plain un
varnished sense Critics may scan every
word nnd sentence, an l smile at his ..bal
ance sheet” in the spirit they would laugh
at the grammar of tbe Lord's prayer, lot
the troth strong and incontrovertible of the
the true cause for the sospeosion. or why
not resume when the banks of New York re
sumed. They know that the cvj ..it woo
done to relieve the people,” has resulted in
no relief to the people, and the extension of
notes, opon which banks dare not sno, ml
all even merchants could get, and that they
have well paid for, and are destined to pay
for, in the exchanges they will be forced to
bust in private hands for New York accom
modation or the banks may accommodate
them, by imparting tbe valuable informa
tion. of some private broker who has a lit
tle exchange for sale; but not in any way
connected with the banks, perhaps.
These are things they know, for they an
written am! proveable things; and it takes
no great effort of the understanding to com
prehend them. As one of tbe people, they
may laugh at my ignorance —as one of the
people, J can laugh at them as loud as they
can at the people, and care not for their fa
vor affection. They have made the issue, and
I, for one, assure them upon every hill top
iu Georgia voices will not be silent, but con
centrating public opinion until it comes upon
them Lke a swelling tide, nnd carries them
as wrecks upon its breast. We nre not a-
fraid of the issue, for we would be bettor
without banks legalized under such a »ys-
tc r.; and in tbe future, a day not distant,
meu will hear the sustainment of Gov. Browa
by an almost united public sentiment; awl
all those who are bank ridden shall be free
—giving new life to labor, new impulses to
enterprise, and new vigor to energy; and
Georgia, rising shove the pitiable and mis
erable dependence of papermoney, will glow
with industry; nnd every artery of trade
and enterprise beat with a sound currency,
and pulsate with the throbs of accumulating
prosperity.
The Doctor and h s Patient.
Of all the professions, trades or occupa
tions that engage the minds of men, that of
physicians is the most diversified. In loca
ting he has to find out the constitution »f
those he is called upon to visit, for it is fre
quently the case tie success may he owing
moreto a deep and thorough knowledge of the
constitution of tbe patient than mere com
monplace applications. As an iilust ratio*
of this, we will relate an anecdote of one of

saw that all this had but little effect up
on the mass of spectatois. The prison
er’s course of dissipation: his many
threats against the house—and the very
uninjured by the criticcm. This balance
sheet is the last argument, and on it tbe
banks cling as the sailor to the last plank
of the wreck, araiil the storm-tossed ocean.
Let- me appeal to them at once to stop the
cry of ignorance against the Governor, for
which this argument is wielded, else that
shed will become their shroud while by the
potential magic of public opinion it will be
made .-his ascension robe.”
I have no fear, nor affection, towards the
banks I have long regarded them as en
joying priviliges for the benefit of the peo
ple, which they were perverting solely to
their own. Outside the walls of the charter
of almost every bank in Georgia tn-iy be
found its officers speculating upon profits
and gains not recognized by the letter, spir

of a quiet sleep, when a loud rap aroused
