THE AMERICAN TRESS.
Th<? freedom of their press is the glory of
ol ‘he American people. They view has
one ol theirchiel blessings, as die strtmg sup
port of their liberties and the powerful enemy
<♦l their flies. II they cherish high ho|>es of In
jure and indulge in brilliant visions of ap
proaching glory, they rest them upon that
liberty ot conscience, sjieech and action,which
the freedom ol the press is so well calculated
to secure. Independently of this, such a go
vernment as ours could not stand. Other
things, no doubt, tend to promote the perpe
tuity of our institutions, but, without this they i
would be impotent. It forms the cement that
unites the walls of our patriotic temple.
The value of intelligence in such a com
munity as ours, cannot hut lie admitted.—
Without intelligence, can the most ordi
nary man in the community, discharge his
political duties; can he he prepared to choose
suitable legislators an! magistrates or be fit
ted to sanction or condemn, important meas
ures. Without intelligence, can individuals
be qualified for their posts, to which the voice
of their fellow-citizens may call them? With
out intelligence, can the law, our great bul
wark, be safely and soundly administered?—
Banish from this land its intelligence, and the
walls which surround os are thrown down
and the feet ol our opponents are able to
trample on us.
If, now, knowledge be so necessary, how is
it to he difiustd? How is it to he brought
within the reach of all? To an unfettered
press, tve must look. Its province is to make
the people acquainted with their duty and at
the same tim;, by its motives, to urge to j er~ !
form it. It scatters the rays of illumination
far and wide. Its productions sire born, by
the winds to the far quarters of the country,
blessing the cottage and the mansion, and
teaching ail to preserve their costly heritage
It excises measures in their various lights.
Systems proposed for the good of the land
are unfolded, and all questions growing out of
national interests, are fully and perfectly in
vestigated. ‘ Are those in office, tempted to
corruption? They fear the press. Is char-!
iictcr assailed ? The press is appealed to for
justice. And who can tell the influence,
which the voice of a free pres* has, in calling j
nut the obscure, in stimulating the wavering ‘
and in rewarding the brave?
We place the freedom of the press on the \
Same foundation with liberty of thought and
speech. If a man has a right to his opin- 1
ton, has he not an equal right to publish
it—to use all efforts to disseminate it, ifi
lie see proper? Abridge the freedom of
the press, and, virtually, you contract the lib
erty of the mind, for you affect one of the:
chief instruments of its operation. The Cre
ator, in giving us free minds, impliedly, at
least, also gave us the jurisdiction of whatev
er would carry out that freedom. Hence, i
whoever fetters the press, in a like degree,
interferes with the natural, unobstructed
working of the intellect. These two doctrines |
are connected—establish the inherent right of;
the mind to think for itselfand von also estab
lish its right to the use of the pres* or any
other agent lor its purposes.
The press like all other blessings, sometimes
becomes perverted. When passions of men
prostitute it to their most unholy ends, thus
diverting it from its healthy channel and ma -
king it a minister of evil to nianv, hmv much
mischief does ;t accomplish ? Who can esti
mate the moral ruin, which it has effected.
Infidelity anil Licentiousness have governed
it! Let it be under the control of reason and ;
revelation and it will sited its rich fruits over
the land. Over the rough features of the land
scape it will throw a smile—peace and vir
tue will brighten and happiness will flourish
beneath its Entering care. Hut let it In* aKtu-wl
let it lx* made a vehicle for impurity and vice
and its effects will he seen and read in the
debased principles, wicked habits, and mourn
ful overthrow of thousands.
Satinet*. —Tlie:e is a mysterious feeling j
that frequently passes like a cloud over the |
spirit. It contes upon the soul in the busy
tu<le of life, iti the Social circle, ill the calm
Mtil silent retreats of solitude. Its powers are
alike supreme over tlte weak and the iron
bcartetl. Atone time it is caused by the fiit
-1 in<; of a single thought across the mind.—
Agt in, a sound will come booming across the
ocean of memory, gloomy and solemn as the
death-knell, overshadowing all the bright
hopes and sunny feelings of the heart. \\ ho
can describe it, and yet who has not icit its
> liewi'ilering influence ? Still it is a delicious
guyrt of sorrow * rtlnl like :i clottd dintm eg the
stmshine of the river, although causing a mo
mentary sltade of gloom, it enhances the
beauty of returning brightness.

MONEY MA RKE T .
Monday, April 9, —6,P. M.
Since the revulsion last spring, Wall street
bas not been in such a slate of high financial
excitement as it exhibited to day. Deveiope
ments of the gravest character frotn Wash
ington, Albany and Philadelphia, have pro
duced this feverish stale of things.
Mr. Biddle’s letter against resumption, pub
lished this morning, created a great sensation;
; Among many of our lending financiers, its
statements, reasonings, views and opinions,
were treated with the coolest and most unqual
i ified contempt. It is very generally looked
upon as being merely an ingenious hut flim
sy defence of his own cotton operations.
Many go so far as to sav. that the U. States
Bank will end like Napoleon’s power on the
Continent, in a general explosion. It is etir
rentlv reported. Hint of its $35,000,000 of cnp
j Hal. at least §30.000,000 are lock’ and up in bis
old branches, in protested paper, and in other
| unavailable securities—his nnlv immediate
means being the uncancelled and illegal notes
of the old bank, with which he has conducted
all lus cotton operations.
On the whole. Mr. Biddle’s letter has fallen
; still-born upon Wall street—and Ms talents
:as a financier are seriously questioned. There
is, however, a few who support his views,
j but they are principally politicians who have
nothing at stake, nr those who have specula
tions not vet matured. Our opinion is that
| Mr. Biddle’s policy and principles are as far
wrong one wav as those ofour financiers are
the oflier. The New York Banks have cur
tailed too rapidly and too rigorously—Mr.
Biddle has expanded, speculated, and trusted
| too much to contingf nries.nnd pot-luck. A
medium course, steering between both, would
have been the right policy, and that course,
our banks will he encouraged ,to pursue, by
the developement of anew and extraordina
ry policy in the general administration, which
will enable them to resume and maintain
their position on the 10th or lG*,h of next
month.
Let us explain.
We learn that Mr. .T. D. Beers, ihe highly ;
respectable financier of Wall Street, re- !
reived a letter from the Hon. Levi Woodbury
Secretary of the Treasury, dated recently at i
Washington, which contains highly important j
developemenls of the views and intentions of
the government, as affecting the approaching
resumption of specie payments. This letter!
states that the government is not hostile to the !
bnnking interest—that if the banks would
resume in May. the Department would ex
tend to them all its power and influence, in
order to enable them to sustain that, honorable
position against anv opposition, from nnv
q> niter. As soon as the resumption takes
place, Mr. W. intimates that the notes of ihe
resuming banks would he received for pubfc
dues, the same as formerly, and that no unu
sual or sudden demand would be made for
specie.
Such arc the new views of the Govern
ment.
At a meeting of the Bank Committee, held
on Satin day evening last, this lelter was read
by Mr. J. J. Palmer to that body, and anew
feeling of confidence generated generally
am uig them as to the future.
A few days previous to the appearance of
the Secretary’s letter, it seems that mnnv of
our financiers had consulted on the propriety
of entering into a negotiation for the purchase
of the proposed new issue of §lO 000.000 of
Treasury notes. Measures had been taken
to begin this negotiation, and a.n agent, in the
full confidence of our financiers, had proceed- I
ert to Washington to confer on ttw nmttrr. j
Contemporaneous with this movement, and j
p rhops caused bv a previous correspondence, j
the highly important letter of Mr. Woodbury i
to Air. Beers, was communicated, ns we have !
described, to the Bank Committee on Sntnr- i
dav evening. On Sunday.Mn* Biddle’s Res
cript was received—but it failed entirely to
produce anv effect on our monev market, or
on the minds of our f-om the fact
that Mr. Wnodhurv had made thp first ad
van es. and tiled ged the whole force and en
ergy nf the government to aid the resumption
by the New York hanks—thus entirely out- !
genera ling and anticipating Mr. Biddle’s great ;
movement.
That the New York Banks, aided, as they !
will be, both hv flit’ Genera! and State Gov- j
ernments—hv the Treasury at Washington,
and the whole power of the Legislature at I
Albany—will resume next month and main- j
lain their position, there is not the shadow of
a doubt. The aggregate aid from both j
sources will fie equal to a loan of §20.000,-
000, hacked in Europe bv the credit of the
United States, and that of the State of New
York. In fact Mr. Van Buren has now been
compelled, bv the recent elections, and the
force of public opinion, to change his entire
financial policy—and the resolution offered by
Mr. Hamer in the House of Representatives,
the letter of Mr. Woodbury to Mr. Beers,
together with other events, are the evidences
of this extraordinary and astounding revolu
tion.
We learn further that Mr. Woodbury has
communicated the same sentiments to the
banks of Baltimore, Boston, and other cities.
We are, therefore, in an entirely new posi
tion, and if the United States Bank and its
associates do not resume as soon as ours, a I
series of expVvionS will he generated among!
the expanded and irredeemable hanks, such I
ns marked the years LSlfi. ’l7. ’IS, and ’l9.
In otir humble opinion, Mr. Biddle Ims put j
himself in the “ false position.” and not New
York. If this man, or this institution, can pay
debts and will not—and that man, or that
hank, both can and will, which is placed in
the “ false position.”
In consequence of these events and views,
exchange on Philadelphia is now up to 4 a 4
1-2 discount, and on many of the irredeeina
points, exchange or checks are not nego
tiable at all.
Tuesday, Apr it 12. M.
Deep consultations anu comparisons of
opinion were held last night among the prin
cipal financiers of the Bank Convention, the
most of whom are now sojourning at the As
tor House. In the session of yesterday morn
| mg, no accurate deVelopemenls took place*
i It appears now that very serious difficulties
will he presented to die Combined action of
j die convention. Among the New England
Delegates ihere is a strong opposition to na
! tiling any day for resumption, for the reasons
1 mentioned in Mr. Biddle’s Ia minis letter.
It is now generally believed that the impulse !
under which die New York Batiks act, comes !
from a certain clique of stock speculators in
Wall street, and that such a policy is enforced i
by a certain portion of the press, as a pure !
speculation in stocks. The Eastern Delegates
are a’so very decided in the belief that the N. 1
\ ork banks only make a feint of resuming—
that they cannot do so with any advantage
to the public—and that if (hey make die an
nouncement in May, the fact will not alter
their position for n year afterwards. It is a ! so
j stated very confidently that the Boston and
! other eastern banks, hy recent curtailments,
, have brought New York in debt to them—
there are $1,000,000 of funds belonging to
the E ast now in our banks—and that if the
New York banks resume, all these funds here
i will lie withdrawn in specie in a single day.
It is further said that Philadelphia is ready to
pounce upjn our banks f0r52,000,000 of spe
cie the day after they resume.
These views and sentiments and facts come
from the non-resumption party, the head of
| which is Mr. Biddle.
On the contrary, the resumption party,
! composed principally of New York, Virginia,
j add a p >rtion of the N jnh'vy**e] i} stales are
very desirous for the appoinfr/ient of a dele
gation to proceed to Washington and pro
cure the aid of the General Government in
the effort at resumption. The other party
j oppose this awfully, ant! charge the whole
j policy of the New York Banks upon the
efforts of -a clique of speculators, who have
been making operations on London ’Change
in opposition to Mr. Jaudon. From appear
ances last night and this morning, it is pro
bable that the non-resumption party will out
j vote the others, and that the Convention may
i finally end in utter abortion. The indignation
;o! the great body of these financiers is increa
sing daily against the Wall street dUpie of
| speculators, at the attempt made to use them
merely in stockjobbing operation on London
’Change.

MACON, APRIL 2, 1838.
Sm : In compliance with an act of the Legisla
ture of this State, I herewith transmit to you a state
ment of the affairs of this Institution, together with a
list of Stockholders. As it will be noticed that there
are not any bad or doubtful debts mentioned in this
Report, it may not be improper to remark, that al
though this Bank was chartered in December, 1836,
yet it did not commence business with its own bills
until November. 1837 ; consequently it escaped many {
of those difficulties which other Banks, in full opera
tion, had to contend with during the late deranged state
of the monied affairs of tfie country.
