for eminent talent, had taken a states-

sonal character of the Governor, and by
a blind support of it, on (he other, from
those who give no reason for their sup
port, but that it has been abused. This
state of things is wholly unfavorable to
the investigation of truth. The message
is one of great importance ; for though
no immediate practical result can now
follow from it—the law having been
passed, despite the veto—yet the doc
trines, advanced in it, are so startling,
and so opposed to the views of practical
men, that if not denied and exposed,
j there is danger of their doing infinite;
j mischief.
1 The most prominent points in the!
^ j message are (he following :
I I. Banks have * exclusive privileges,’ I
i which give ‘to a favored class immense!
advantages over the great body of the
people.’
2. The result of these advantages is
ihat hanks realise from thirty to fif;y
per cent, per annum, on their capital,
“'bile 1 the laboring man’ is limited lo

7. The suspension was a mere specu- ■
lation, for which there was no necessi-
necessity in other branches of business,
made it expedient to establish institu
tions, which, bv the use of credit, might
facilitate large ami complicated opera
tions. To give them this credit, a known
accumulation of capital was necessary.
The necessity has long been recognised
throughout the commercial world. The
countries with which ihe great bulk of
our commerce is carried on, transact
their business bv the aid ot banks. All
the other Stales in our Union do so too
—and what would be the condition of
trade in Georgia, if, with the facilities of
hanking all around us, we were to at
tempt competition with our neighbors,
standing alone on a metalic basis! If
banking privileges were granted to
named individuals alone, his Excellency’s
illustration would he carried out. and a
‘favored class’ established. But instead
of this, when a bank is lo be organised

Now if such a stream was necessary,

would ihe current slacken in speed or

in this particular, puts cause tor enect and * 1
effect for cause, is self evident. England could not raise the gold ;
But—and here is what conies home
to the business and bosoms of the people
—it is said that the suspension reduced
tiie price of our great staple. Every plan
ter knows that t he price of cotton in
Georgia depends on the Livitpool mar
ket; and every dealer it: the article
knows that from before the suspension

purchasers in our markets would be En
