by Congress, designed to effect the
bUij<o object—ihcn the lesalutions
urging Congress to pass a bankrupt
law, excluding corporations, to show ,
themselves the particular and ex-!
elusive friends of the hanks, anil
thereby to retain the influence and
friendship of those institutions.
\Ve beg to mention another omi
nous sign. John C. .Spencer, the
present Secretary of State of New
York, n man of splendid intellect,
and tlie most influential arid taient
ed of his party in that Stnte, was
the very man who introduced the
resolutions into the Legislature of
New York in 18:20, directing the
Senators of that Stute in Congress
to vote against the admission of
Missouri, with slavery. Southern
Harrison men, look tit these things !
We commenced this article with
the view of pointing your attention
to the following state of things in
New York, brought about at the
recent Spring elections, and show
ing that any man must lie out of his
senses, who now [aits that State
down for Harrison .
“ The official returns of the general elec
tion in November Inst, show that the demo
crats carried then 41! towns, and the fede
ralists 467 towns. The actual returns of the ;
town elections in March and April of this ‘
year, show that the democrats have succeed
ed in 436 towns, and the federalists in 439 !
Being a federal loss of 29 towns, and a dem
ocratic gain of 25 towns—and a nett demo
cratic gain of Jifty four towns !
The aggregate federal majority lasi year,
was 3.GQO votes in a poll of 402,000. It, ns
the Evening Journal assumes, the town elec
tions may be taken as any indications of the |
popular sentiment, (and they never were !
more generally or sharply contested upon
party grounds than at the present time.) the
change in favor ol democracy since last fall,
is deceive of the approaching election. It is
a d.ffercnce of fifty-four towns, or one-seven
teenth of the whole number—or, if calculated
by aggregate majorities, and onef-seventeenih i
assumed as the ratio, the gain is upwards of j
20,600 voles, or a difference to the democratic
party, beyond the federal majority iast fall,
of more than 16,000 voles.”
00~ The old blue light federalists and
Hartford Conventionists, who, during the
war, were known as Tories, but are now t
called Whigs, are supporting W. H. Hani
aon for the Presidency. The Republicans, 1
who supported Thomas Jefferson and James j
Madison during the war, are the same .party j
who now support Martin Van Buren for i
thPresidency. People of Georgia, to which
of these parties do you attach yourselves?
tO“ The Whig party will not allow Gen.
Harrison to answer any letters addressed to
him by the people, seeking to know his opi
nion upon the great questions now before the
country. The Democrats have never yet
voted for any candidate who was either too
ignorant or feared to let the peop'e know be
forehand what hit opinions we.c upon all
subjects.
CO” The Abolitionists as a party sup
port Gen. Harrison for the Presidency in
opposition to Mr. Van Buren. This is a
fact, and if denied we can prove it.
tO* The Tariff party support Gen. Har
rison for tin* Presidency in opposilim to Mr.
Van Buren. This is a fact which if’ denied
we will prove by their own words.
CO* Plie Governor of Louisiana, a few
years since, offered a large reward for the
abolitionists Arthur Tappan and Garrison,
who were attempting to excite our slaves to
rebellion. Ai thur Tappan, Garrison, Slade,
John Q. Adams, and all the abolitionists of
the North, are supporters of Gen. Harrison.
Those who oppose this doctrine are Demo
crats, and support Mr. Van Buren for the
Presidency. We can prove this. People of
Georgia, who are you for in such a Contest?
HON. J. C. CLARK A PLEDGED ABOLI
TIuNIST.
A paper published in the district represent
ed by the Hon. j. C. Clark, brings us the
following document, which it is stated was
‘ secretly written, and secretly circulated,’ to
secure the votes of tlifc Abolitionists prior to
the last Congressional election in New York,
viz:
“ To the Electors of Chenango County:
‘'lt is not unknown to me, that a ,x)rlion
ol you, respectable both in numbers and in
character, are in favor of the adoption of
certain legislative enactments, in regard to
slavery. Your opinions on this subject, I
doubt not, are honestly entertained, and are j
entitled to respect. You have a right to i
know the opinions of those who are candid- i
ates fur office.
“ The people of the North are instinctive
!y opposed to slavery in all its forms. They
leirn from their infancy, from our declaration !
of Independence, that all men are ‘ born free j
and equal.’ No one participates more large-,
ly or warmly in that sentiment than myself j
If elected to Congress, I will, under the Con-1
stitution, and the obligations of my constitu
tional oath, vote to apply such corrective as
that instrument sanctions. In the honest ex-j
ercise of an unbiased jqfjgment and sound dis- 1
tret ion, I shall be prepared to act in obedience
to the principles above avowed.
The right of petition is dear, and securttd
to the American people. Its rejection by the
licitish c own was one cause of serious com
plaint by our Revolutionary fathers, i will
never consent to its denial or abridgment; but
sustain it in its fullest latituJe, without refer
ence to condition or color. •
‘The exclusive right given by the Consti
tution to Congress, to legislate for the District
of Columbia, authorizes that body to abolish
slavery in that District! The period when
that power will be exercised, I trust is not re
mote; and when that period arrives, should
I hold a seat in Congress, the appeals of the
free, the humane and the oppressed, shall
not he made in vain.
‘‘l have deemed it proper thus briefly and
frankly to give you my opinions. The
particular measures which may be presented
to the Consideration of regard to
this subject, it is unnecessary iw anticipate.
W hatever they may be, they will receive
nay most serious deliberation. The confi
dence you may repose in me, which may
prompt you to give me your support, will
assure me that you are willing to trust the,
matter under the foregoing avowals to mv
sense of duty, acting unde*The sacred char
ter of our liberties.
J. C. CLARK.” .
Bainhridge, Nov. 3J, 1533.
J. C. Clark is the most active and unscru j
puious enemy of the Administration in Con
gress, and is one of the secret ‘Executive 1
Committee” of the FcJ:ral Whig tTvmbrrs.--

’ TliF. VIRGINIA ELECTIONS.
We give the returns as far as we have re- j
i eeived them. The contest lias been arduous ,
jin many counties. As at present advised,!
; we have no hesitation in giving it as Jour
opinion Pint the Whigs have carried a ma- j
jority of the Legislature. That the Republi- j
cans will carry it this Fall, we do not enter-1
laic, a doubt. On Thursday, (the night of ;
the election,) the Whigs had an avalanche
of rumors, which seemed to bear down all j
before it—Not to speak of the City of Rich- j
I rnond, and County of Henrico, there were;
j Hanover, Louisa, Caroline, Spottsvlvania,
| and Stafford, all we?!; said to have gone for ;
! the Whigs* The next day, they were still;
more exulting—Powhatan lost to us; then
j Cumberland, P. Edward, Amelia, Stc., &c.,
all gone for the Whigs! They were crowing ;
and bragging a little too much. They who
do not know how to enjoy success, do not j
deserve it. But the evening came, and secured
us DinWiddie, and saved Louisa. The even- j
irig car gave us back Stafford and reported j
Caroline (last year fi r the Whigs) now very
j doubtful. Wherever Richmond could make’
; herself felt, her great influence lias been
| exerted. She has made her mark ail around j
! her. Her preponderant vote has carried !
Henrico, Hanover, Powhatan, and now it j
| appears, Buckingham and perhaps Caroline!
l As the game stands, we have lost Hanover,
Nottoway, by 2 voles, Prince Edward by*
, a small majority, Morgan, the Senatorial Dis- j
trict of Jefferson, and Powhatan for a season. 1
(For, Michaux disputes the seat, and we
haVe no doubt will reclaim it. It is said, that
| 13 votes were given against him, upon free
holds, which fell below the value of the const!
I tutiorial standard, according to the late assess
ment. The question is, does this assessment
■ apply to this Election—and we have the
| opinion of one of the first authorities of
this land, that it decidedly does. If so, we ;
shall get Powhatan hack.) o,d Bucki lghatn
has indeed done nobly. She is almost il not j
entirely reduced. She has given Flood, t e ;
Democratic candidate, a majority of 22 over I
Bondurant,and the highest Whig Delegate
j 304, the other Wh g candidate and one of the
j Democrats 503 each, and the other Demo- 1
cratic candidate 592. The two Whigs have i
the Sheriff’s return —but our Correspondent
informs us, that the election will be success
fully contested.
We have gained Dinwiddie and Amelia,
and it is repo, ted, a Delegate in Hampshire.
If so, the Whigs hare gained 6, and the Dem
ocrats 3 members. We wanted 3to tie the
Legislature at the last session. So, that throw
ing out our chances in Powhatan, Notto-
way, Hanover, Spottsylvania, and Bucking
ham, in all which counties it is said, the seals
will be contested; we now want 6 gains
to divide the vote in the Legislature. We
j may lose as much as we gain. We may
lose Roanoke, Braxton and Lewis, Smyth,
j and Randolph. We may gain Russel, Lo
gan, Patrick, Pocahontas, Wood, Mason
!2c Jackson, Marshall, and a Delegate ih
■ Monongalia. The battle cannot, therefore, be
j definitively counted until the smoke has entire
ly blown away. It may be several days yet,
j before we shall be able tocolleet all the returns,
i We have fought under manyd.sadvantages.
j The Whigs have resorted to such means, as
i Virginians ought to blush to employ. They
; have inundated the country with pamphlets
j and han shills of the most deceptive character,
j The State has been overrun with Electoral
j Spouters, and with the Nos. of the Yeoman,
| whtch went Ibrth before the Crisis could be
; got up to apply the antidote. The cry has j
! been, the low prices and hard times—The j
: humbug of the Standing Army has operated j
{against us with tremendous’ fotce. It has
, alone turned the scale against us, in as many
I debates hie bounties as may he sufficient to
j turn the scale in the Legislature. Although
! this project was not very well suited to sue
ceed in Congress; although the details in
ihe bill, which was Subsequently reported to
Congiess, were not in ail probability submit
ted at all to the himself, yet these i
details have Iren prevented and pressed with
an ingenuity of misrepresentaiidh and a con
stancy of purpose, whifch was calculated to
deceive and mislead the people. Some of
the most exceptionable of these details were
subsequenllly modified by the Secretary of
War. The objection about the militia man
furnishing his own arms, was obviated liy
Mr. Poinsett’s proposition to train the militia
in the‘neighborhood of a depot of arms’—
and the other objection, which was also so
assiduously blazoned forth, of moving the
militia from one State into another Slate,
has been expressly disclaimed by Mr. Poin
sett himself. Still the perverse propensity
of the Whigs to adopt every means of attack,
to employ every mode of deception, to get
up every sort of humbug, and to play off
every description of trick upon the voters,
was in nothing more conspicuously displayed,
than in the ridiculous and mendacious clamor
about this militia organization being cried
up into a standing army. To such abomin
able an excess was this monstrous misrepre
sentation carried, that the Richmond Whig
did not blush to declare, that the mi itia was
to be kept constantly ‘in body and in pav,”
whether in peace dr in war, when the Whig
kneic that Mr. Yoinselt had expressed him
selfsatisfied with a training often days only.
The Whigs pretended, that millions (some
said 30 or 40) were to be expended upon the
organization, when the Secretary himself de
clared that it would not retpiire more than
half a million of dollars. In no one circum
i-dance of the whole campaign, {were the (ricks
; and deceptions of the Whig so manifestly ex
| hibiled, toour disadvantage and defeat. But
| they stickled at nothing. A biography of
Gen. Harrison, with the coarsest caricatures,
was circulated under the franks of the Whig
j members ol Congress, in all directions. The j
j Old Dominion was insulted bv these attempts;
| She became the ohject of the most infamous
; experiments—in which, not only her own cit
! izens, but the members of other States dared
Ito participate. On the very eve of the elec
lion, a handbill was thrown, like a firebrand,
into the State—prepared by S members ot
Congress at Washington—and containing the
most garbled and insidious statements. —
A Virginia member of Congress did not hesi
tate to associate himself with seven mem
: hers from other States, to direct and control i
this p’oud Commonwealth ; she who lias \
| been accustomed to give the law, rather than
i receive it—to teach others, rather than be
! taught by them. In this ‘Executive commit
tee’ of the Secret, Cabal, which has raised a j
i privy purse to subsidize the press, and to
‘scatter the Madisonian, under the franks ofj
I the Whig! members, there are secret Aboii j
| tionists (Clark of N. Y.) and the p eparer of
■ the Hartford Convention Resolutions (S tlton
j stall of Mass.) These men have had the in
solence to ban together to dictate to Virginia
: in the exercise ol her most important privilege
] on the eve of the election, before any oppor
tunity could have been obtained for counter
acting their gross misrepresentations: But
this is not the only instance, where the Whigs
- have called in the citizens of other states
!to invade our sanctuary, and to control our
opinions. The same thing was done by
! Messrs. Vinton and Fisher of Galliopoli.s
! (State of Ohio,) who attended the Superior,
Court of Mason county and addressed the
people. The same thing was also done by
Hoffman ot Baltimore, who was associated
with W. C. Rives in haranguing our citizens
at Winchester. Not the least remarkable
phenomenon of these unprecedented times,
and one of the most indecent of the arts of
j the Whigs, is in this very Ey Senator roam
ing about from county to county, where the
elect on was considered doubtful, and address
ing and operating upon the voters for De'e
i gain who will rc-citct hint. \\. C. R. and J.
iS. Pendleton of Culpeper have even beea
“hunting in couples.” If these interpositions;
■ if these stratagems of the Wlrgs, do not rouse
1 up the blood of the Virginians, then “the race
j of noble bloods” is not what it once was.
They may then carry the Slate this Spring.
I Our friends in different counties, who might
not have been aware of the activity of their
• opponents and the extensive machinery which
jthefr played off, may have been deceived in
; their speculations, and tints misled ourselves;
But the mischief will now be corrected. 1 The
second, sober thought’ will prevail. In some
of the counties, it appears our friends
battled nobly and deserve well of the Repub
! lie—lu others, the zeal of the Opposition has
isurpassed that of our friends. In many of
the counties, our Committees have not even
been organised ; and each member has been
fighting upon his own hook. But the Re
publican party will now be thoroughly arous
ed. The Committees will organize, and
enlarge their numbers. We have lime enough
: before us to expose the machinations of the
| enemy—the Tippecanoe Club in this City—
the extent of the franking abuses—and the
j devices which they are setting to work. Tne
Democracy of this great jSiate will never
{suffer their immortal principles to'be under
: mined at.d prostrated by such a party, with
such a cause, with such a candidate, with
’ means so reckless and so desperate.
We call upon every man in the S ale to
rouse himself. As for ourselves, we swear to
devote ourselves, with whatever of energy
Iwe possess, that indomitable industry and
buoyant spirit, which nothing has yet sub
dued, to the great cause, to those great prin’
ciples, which have constituted the boast and
glory of Virginia. To employ the expression,
of a strorg minded friend, who wrote us a
note in pencil, to an enquiry which we made
of him about one of the reported counties, on
Saturday evening: ‘I hope as you, we will
not ‘ stay beaten.’ But if we should, I had
rather be a Republican, ‘solitary and alone,’
that to be a Whig, after the present fashion.’
1 So Say we—and so will say, thousands of
i Republicans, now and henceforth, until No
-1 vember next.
Beaten! how beaten? We may lose the
■ Legislature, W. C. Rives may rcCeivb his
■Shekels of silver; and a rampant Federalist
may be associated with him in the councils of
the nation--We may be defeated in now
returning a majority to the General Assembly?
We miy have lost a member or two, since
the last spring—We may have failed from
the same causes which have defeated us
before. As the New York New eEra well
remarks:— ‘ The disadvantages under which
the Democracy of Virginia have to contra I
iu their spring .election are great and almost
contro'ling: The most important engine
which is brought to bear against them in
the spring by the Whigs is double voting.
According to the laws of Virginia, an elector
can vote once for members of the House of
Delegates in every county in which he owns
a freehold, and also for State Senator, provi
ded he does not vote more than once for Sen
tor in any dne. District; wh.le in the choice
of Presidential electors, the only officers ever
elected by a general ticket throughout the
State, no man can vote more than once. The
way in which this strange feature in the Vir
ginia policy is used by the rich and Aristocrat
ic Whigs all over the State is a caution.—
Those of Richmond are particularly adepts
in its practice. A g.eat part df the close
counties of the Slate are in the neighborhood
df that city, and many of its wealthy nartizans
have heretofore made a point of holding free
holds in as many of the doubtful counties as
they can possibly reach to vote in one day.
There are oilier circumstances which tend
greatly to help this ‘coloniz'ng,’ a voter can
give his Suffrage at whichever preCinci, iff ahy
county he Chooses, flesides this, rxtra cars
wt’Ce in operation on several lines of railroad
which runs from Richmond into doubtful coun
ties. These start genera'lv at 9 o’clock in
the morning late enough to give everv such
Whig a chance to vote at the Cit.v Hal! in
Richmond for a Delegate for that city; and
at the Court House in the same city for a
Delegate from Henii'co county. ‘Phis done,
they pour out upon Ihe Surrounding ‘country
in swarms for the honest purpose ofdrowning
the voice of its regu ar inhabitants, ( iking as
many counties in their route as they can, and
selecting the nearest precinct in each. That
the power they are thus enabled to exercise is
tremendous, we need not add. Happily il
cannot be used in the Presidential contest.
We say, therefore, to our friends throughout
the country, that however the present election
may terminate, the vote of the ‘Old Dominion’
next fall is safe, ‘eyond the possibility ofdouht,
for Van Buren and Polk.”
But this is not all—The voters in Rich
mond have elected one Delegate for herself
and control five counties; but in the fall, she
will not tell more than 400 votes—whereas
Rockingham and Shenandoah alone, which
elect only four Delegates now, will give Van
Buren a clear majority of 2000 in November.
It majtbe, that we even have lost some pop
ular votes this Spring, owing to the devices of
the enemy—but say that they have even
gained 1000 votes, yet we had nearly a ma-
jority of 5000 votes at the last Spring, though
we were then defeated in theH. of Delegates
—and we Shall hjlve a majority of 4000 pop
ular votes actually given now left. But a
handsome proportion of the Van Buren votes
has not been actually given. In some of the
strong Republican counties, where there was
no Whig Opposition, the voters have staid tit
home, in some, voters have gone lo the
court houses, and then not gone to the polls to
be registered. Various letters inform us, that
several Van Buren voters have gone for
Whig candidates, with will never consent to
vote for Harrison. The Presidential election
will call most of this vote out, and on Ihe right
; side. Add t> this, the loss which the Whigs
must sustain in their double, and treble and
quadruple votes —and we shall carry the State
in November by an overwhelming majority.
Is there a single Whig that doubts Ibis posi
tion? He can still have the wager of $250 at
1 his office upon the Fall E ection. Come then,
boasting sirs, to the scratch—and back your
judgments with the wager.
MURDER.
We learn from a correspondent at Miil
edgeville (writing at nooti on Tuesday last)
! that a most outrageous murder was lately
| committed in Lee county, originally Dooly,,’
I information having just been conveyed to the
Executive Department. The letter received
there, which baars the post mark of P'mder
! town, states that two ladies and one child
| were killed. One female was shot in the house,
i and the other with the child was taken off
■ some distance from the house, and their brains
I beaten out with lightwood knots. It is ru
mored that Indians committed this awful out
rage on our cilzens, while it is believed by
j others that it was done hv a set of depraved
1 whites, who are murdering and pilfering
through that section.
The Governor has been called on to pro
tect the inhabitants of the county, and we
trust that the measures which may be adopt
ed bv him, will ferret out these wietches arid
consign them to the custody of those whose
duty it is to see the laws judicially adminis
tered. The murders recently perpetrated in
I our country are a sad slain upon our national
character, and it behoves every good citizen
to unite in arresting the criminals, that they
may meet the punishment due to their atro
• cious deeds. —Savannah Georgian.

Bank of the State of Georgia, )
Savannah, 20.1i April, 1840. >
Sr: In addition to my communication of to-uay,
which furnishes the state and condition of this Bunk
and Branches, I herewith forward an extract from the
minutes of the B ard of Directors, expressive cf their
views with regard to the acts of the last Legislature,
pa sod m December 1839, the one entitled ‘An tcl
to amend an act more effectually to secure the sol
vency of all the banking institutions of this State,
passed 24 h day of December 1832.’ And the other,
‘An act to prevent the several banks of this State from
selling or disposing of exchange at a higher rale per
cent, than herein expressed, under certain conditions,
and to prescribe the mode of punishment for a violation,
of the 1 ame;’ which is respectfully submitted.
And I have the honor to be
Your obedient servant,
W. B. BULLOCH, President.
Ilis Excellency Charles J. McDonald, Governor of
Georgia, Milledgeville,
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Bank of the State of Georgia, on Friday, 20th
March, 1840. . . .
The following expression of the opinion or the Board
i of Directors of this Bank, was adopted in response to
the communications therein r< furred to, and ordered to
be entered upon the minutes.
A commnnication from the offi te at Eatonton, re
questing the ‘ views of this Board in reference to the
law of tire last Legislature, requiring an oath in reia
tion to the indebtedness of individual directors,’ was
taken Into consider;!'!**!!.
A letter received from Mr. Henry, Cashier of the
Branch at Augusta, was also laid beforo the Board,
communicating the opinion of the Directors at that * f
ficc, with regard to ihe further requisitions upon the
b r.'ts by the two acts of the last Legislature, by which
i- appears that there is a coincidence with thoso en
tertained here.
Th s Board determines to make the general returns
of the Bank to the Legislature as heretofore, agraea
bly to the law of the 24*h Dec. 1832, and recommend
to the branches to tn ike each its separate return of its
state and condition, in cor.firmity with ihe first
section of the act referred to by the Eatonton Office,
at the same time that they make their return to the
principal bank.
The Board of Directors confidently nflhm, that the
further returns requ red by the acts of the last Legis
lature, have not been called fur by any im[ roper con
duct cn the part cf this Bank, and that th sc acts se
riously interfere with essential vested chartered ; n 1 ir
vidual rights; and as this Bank and other Banks of
the city have made unceasing efforts to preseive a
good currency, it is confidently hoped that the candid,
fair and honest exposition which t! ey have semi-annu
ally made of their state and condition, and which they
will continue to do. wi!i sustain the reputation and
hieli standing of the Bank and all its Branches. The
Board, however, will be ever ready and willing to ex
pose the books and exh bit the condition of the Bank,
and its entire management to the /host scrutinising ex
amination of commissioners that the Legislature may
appoint for that purpose, as they did u in a previous
occasion, when a former Legislature directed an in
vestigation into the affairs of all the Banks of the
State. A. PORTER, Cashier.
