COLUMBUS, JUNE 27, 1840. “ This Institution is one of the most deadly hostility existing against the principles and form of our Consti tution. The nation is, at this time, so strong and united in its sentiments, that it cannot be shaken at this mo ment. But suppose a series of untoward events should occur, sufficient to bring into doubt the competency of a Republican Government to meet a crisis of great dan ger. or to unhinge the confidence of the people in the public functionaries ; an institution like this penetrating by ,ts branches every part of the union, acting by com mand and in phalanx, may in a critical moment, upset the government. I deem no government safe, ivhich is under the vassalage of any self-constituted authorities, or any other autltority than that of the nation, or its reg ular functionaries. IVhat an obstruction could not this Bank of the United States, with all its branch banks, be in time of war ? It might dictate to us the peace we should accept, or witfulraw its aid. Ought we then to give further growth to an institution so powerful, so hostile? — Thomas Jefferson. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN TICKET. FOR PRESIDENT, MARTIN VAN BUREN. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, JOHN FORSYTH. GOV. TROUP’S LETTER Wiil be found in our columns of to-day. It is certainly able, and takes a concise, plain, and proper view of the Independent Treasury measure and its effects, as recom mended by the President, and vve think that as to the position which Gov. Troup occupies in relation to the Presidential question, no one can now doubt. It was our lot to oppose the election of Gov. Troup for the Executive office, because we preferred another ; and vve have differed with him as to his views on the subject of Nullification; hut vve were always willing to concede him talent of the first order, and great, firmness in his adherence to his po litical opinions. That he lias al ways been a Republican of the Jef fersonian school, no one will pretend to deny ; and that his opinions on any subject, and particularly as to the power and policy of the Federal Government, should always have great weight, OUR CAUSE. If ever at any time the Democra cy of Georgia was aroused and were united, it is now. Never before have vve witnessed so much unity of feeling and so little selfish consider ation as at the present time. We must confess that vve did not believe that our people could have been so easily excited ; and it. is truly grati fying to find them sound to the core. The people of Georgia can never ho dragooned into the ranks of Federalism ; never will Georgia he found battling tinder the black cockade. Tip, Tyler and Tariff 4 can’t come it’ no way they can fix it. The people, as they have al ways in Georgia, still keep the management of these matters in their own hnnds. Large meetings have been held in the counties of Talbot, Randolph, and Early on the last week ; their proceedings will he found below. In Richmond, at Augusta, the Constitutionalist says one of the largest meetings ever held in that place. We have seen accounts of meetings being held in most of the counties. Mii ledgeville will he overflowing on the 4th of July. It will be the most splendid celebration ever in the State ‘ r there is great inducement to attend ; the occasion, the numer ous and talented assemblage ; and then to hear the Oration ; it will he delivered by one of the most talent ed orators of the South, the Hon. Matthew Hall McAllister, of the city of Savannah. We are author ized to state that ample preparation for the reception of all our friends is making. Extract of a private letter to the Editor, dated New Yobs, June 11,1849. Dear Sir: I wrote you twice from Wash ington and had hoped to hear from you at tins place by this time, and now as I am in the great. Metropolis of America, you will no doubt be pleased to learn what is the prevail ing opinion in regard to the next election for President and I would here premise,by saying that the cognomen of Log Cabin and Hard Cider is becoming more and more disgust ing to all reflecting men every day. I rest assured that the principles upon which the great Democratic party rely for support will triumph before the people. The refusal of General Harrison once more to reply, is now beginning to awaken an anxious solicitude in the minds ot all honest men that ’ere long will burst forth in tones that cannot be mistaken. Something is wrong with him, or he would not be placed in the humiliating position that he now is. He to be called the honest patriot; a man who is likened, by his blind adherents, ur.to our beloved Washington ! Why, it is the height of presumption that the name of Harrison should be spoken on the same day with that of Washington. The Demo cratic party are now buckling on their armour, and they will not lay down their arms until the Federal Whigs have been driven into exile. Os the success of Mr. Van Buren I entertain not the least doubt. You have no doubt seen the letter of our treacherous Sen ator, N. P. Talmadge, in which he has made a calculation about the election, and if he has any friends that believe in him, should like them to name the amount that they would risk on his calculation, and the party shall have 5 lo 1 bet that the redoubtable Senator's calculation comes no it here near the mar!; I will give you my opinion as to the result: New Hampshire, 7 Maine, 10 New York, 42 Pennsylvania, SO Delaware, 3 Ohio, 21 Virginia, 23 Michigan, 3 South Carolina, 11 Georgia, 11 Alabama, 7 Mississippi, 4 Missouri, 4 Tennessee, 15 Arkansas, 3 194 North Carolina and Maryland must vote lor Mr. Van Buren : they cannot, as slave holding States, go for Harrist n; so that in anv event I look upon the re-election of Mr. Van Buren as very certain. The Whigs are the most noisy, boisterous politicians that ever infested any country. Your Representatives, Messrs Colquitt, Cooper and Black, have acted most nobly in this contest. They have shown their devo tion to principle, for notwithstanding they had many prejudices against Mr. Van Buren, when they found the old Federal party were attempting to control the Government, they came out manfully and stood firm to the principles which they have ever professed. Georgia will not forget them. And the wily Dawson (who is looking forward to some appointment high in the Government under General Harrison, should he be so fortunate as to be elected President,) does not deserve the support of Republican Georgia. I shall hope to hear from you soon, and hope you are doing well in the good cause. Yours, tespectlully, i DEMOCRATIC MEETING. Agreebly to previous notice a large and respectable meeting of the citizens of Talbot county friendly to the re-electjon ol’ Martin Van Buren to the Presidency, convened at the Court House in Talbotton on the 17th day of June, 1840, when the meeting was organized by calling Col. Joseph Riley to the chair, and appointing Frederic A. Baily and James M. Davis as Secretaries. The object of the meeting being briefly staled by the Chair, On motion of Doctor James Y. Gardner, a committee was appointed to draft a pream ble and resolutions suitable to the occasion. The Chatr appoinied a committee of five, consisting of Doctor Janies Y. Gardner, Col. A. W. Sneed, Maj. Chappell Cox, Ezekiel B. Smith and VVm. Searcey, Esq’rs. The committee having retired a few mo ments, returned and reported the following preamble and resolutions: Your committee beg leave to submit: That Mr. Van Buren, the candidate of the Democratic party for the office of President of the United States, openly avows his ad herence to a strict construction of the Consti tution and to Slate Rights doctrines, and is the uncompromising opponent of Abolit.on and a United States Bank. On these and other political subjects he does not refuse to return explicit answers to whomsoever may question him : he has no concealment; he is open, clear and decided in his principles; he is the candidate of a single party which make open and public declarations of its principles. General Harrison is the candidate of the Opposition. He is supported by the friends of an United States Bank, by the iriends of the American system, by the ancient Feder alists and the modern Abolitionists. The opposition to the administration of Mr. Van Buren, taken as a body, is without principles. At their public parly assemblages they declare no political opinions; they do not adopt reso lutions declaratory of their political principles. The General himself refuses to answer to Inends or foes questions on the political topics of the day, civilly propounded to him by his lellow-citizens. It may reasonably be expected that the future general Administration will favor the principles of those who call it into power ; if General Harrison be elected what may be expected from him? Will he sustain the publicly avowed principles of Mr. Van Bo ren and the Democratic party, or will he not favor the various interests and parties which support him? Certainly he is very careful not to commit himself against them. Among the most prominent supporters of the preten sions of the General are Mr. Clay, Mr. Ad ams, Mr. Webster, Mr. Slade and Mr. Claim Would an administration organized and con ducted on principles approved by these gen tlen.en be acceptable to the citizens of Geor gia? The friends of Mr. Harrison urge his cause with a warmth and zeal quite unusual in Presidential contests; the country is flood ed with hard cider biographies, speeches, circulars, pamphlets, &c., his partizans are furious in his support. Would these effiirts be made if the Opposition were not actuated by principles decidedly hostile to the princi ples sustained by the Administration. There did exist in the State ol Georgia an ultra Slate Rights Party formidable in numbers, gifted with talents and rispectable for its uni form declaration and support of its principles. Where is that party now? Disorganized and annihilated ; it has fallen the self-immo lated v clim of a suicidal policy. With ner vous precipitation she has grasped and gulped down the fatal draught presented by the hand of Federalism, lier ancient enemy. The dose operates. The heretofore proud and dignified State Rights Nullification party of Georgia is now in the agony of dissolution. Had she been borne down, nobly battling in c’eence of her uniform professions, though prostrate yet not degraded, she might have found sym pathy in her sorrow, and the sunshine of suc cess might have followed the darkness of disaster.” We would not be mistaken; it affords us no pleasure to see that party abandon the elements of its existence. Per haps no two parties ever observed the lines of party distinction with a care so scrupulous as the Democratic and late State Rights party, where principles, if not identical, so nearly coincided there was nothing but office and its honors and emoluments to be won or lost. The professed principles of either party was a safe guarantee that the Republic should receive m detrin* t into the hands of which soever the government should be entrusted. Pensonal preferences were diaappointed. lu’ the Republic was uninjured, the politlci! integrity of an individual never undergoes so severe an ordeal as when the party to which he belongs in an evil hour deserts the princi pal policy it has always professed and prac ticed; thote with whom he has been accus tomed to believe and act, leave him in the loneliness of his origira! positirw Thelarre proportion of thote who arc led to thwc who thmk for themselves leave him in a lean and discouraging minority ; to lliose wiio have the Honesty, mtegiitv, firmness and independence n )• to be transferred to the support ol Mr. H t i on. we extend the right hand offeliow -8 up. i he/ will find us like themselves, arrayed in o| position lo the inroads of fanati cism and the encroachmentso! Federal power, an i especially against bank monopoly, the arrii enemy of Democracy and Republican equality. Tins assembly approves of the meeting of tlie friends of the general admin istiation in the Siate of Georgia, to be held at Miiledgeville, an t recommends to every county in the Slate to - send a represenlat on. empowered to remodel the Congressional and Eecioral Tickets, agreeable to the wishes ol the triends of the administration under the new organization of parties. In support of the foregoing views and as a concise and fuller declaration of our principles we submit the subjoined : Ist. Res Ived, That we give lo Martin \ an Buren our cordial support for re election to the office of President ol the United Slates. 2d. Resolved, That the rights of the voter to demand and obtain from the candidate for office his opinions and sentiments on political subjects, is a fundamental principle hitherto respected in representative governments. 3d. Resolved, That the refusal of General Harrison to declare his political principles when questioned directly thereto, renders him wholly undeserving of the suffrage of Repub lican freemen. 4th. Resolved , That very moderate capa city fs well as distinction of principles dis qualifies General Ha rrisou for the high appointment to which his friends recommend him. sth. Resolved, That in the absence of any avowed indication of the political course to be pursued by the future administration, incase General Harrison be elected, it ij fair reason ing to inler that the government, in his hands, will be conducted agreeably to the views ol the men and parties who shall have elevated him to power. 6;h. Resolved, That General Harrison is supported by the Federalists, ihe Bank party, the American System and High Protective Ta iff party, and the Abolitionists, all which cannot be denied without the most unblushing effrontery and utter disregard to truth. 7-. h. Resolved, That approving as we do of the present administration in opposition to the parties named in the foregoing resolutions; vve desire no change, least of all, such change ns Harrison, Webster, Clay, Adams, Slade, Clark and Dawson would bring us. Bth. Resolved, That our Representatives in Congress, Walter T. Colquitt, Mark A. Cooper, and Edward J.

A large number having again assembled at the Fort Gaines Hotel, Col. J. S. Patter son, resumed his seat and called for the re port of the committee. Col. J. W. Sutlive, for the committee, sub mitted the following preamble and resolutions, which were, by reques’, explained in an ap propriate and lengthy address from Col. J. H. Campbell, and unanimously adopted. Whereas, the great political contest now pending, is fraught with principles sacred to the rigitts of freemen, and whereas the great er portion of this community, feeling a deep interest, in those principles, for the purpose of sustaining and carrying them out more fully, will, without regard to former prejudi ces or predilections, exert every honorable means to insure the re-e ! ection of Martin Van Buren to the Presidency of the United States; and whereas it is not only the privilege but our duly as citizens of a great Republic, to give a free and lull expression of our views on all questions which relate to the welfare of the country. Ist. Be it therefore Resolved , That we are strict constructionists of the Constitution, and gi'ant to Congress no powers, but such as are fully and clearly expressed or most palpably implied. 2oJ. Resolved, That we believe it neither Constitutional or expedient that Congress should charter a United Stales Bunk; and thst we desire a divorce between the Banks and the Government. 3rd. Res Ived, That we have ever believ ed a Tariff” for Protection, unconstitutional, | oppressive and unjust, and do not bel eve that Congress has the right to make appropriations for works of Internal Improvements. 4th. Resolved, That vve believe any inter lerence with the Slave question in the Dis trict of Columbia or the Territories, would produce the most dangerous consequences, Congress having no right thus to interfere. sth. Resolved, That we will support Mar tin Van Buren most cheerfully, because we believe his views and opinions on most of the questions concerning Soutliern rights and in stitution*. correspond with our own, and be cause we have the mo3t unshaken confidence in his honesty and integrity. 6th. Resolved, That we will oppose the elevation of Wm. 11. Harrison to that impor tant station —first, because we believe him to be too old and imbecile to hold so responsible an office: secondly, because he has been brought forward by an amalgamation of a - every party who oppose the Democracy of the country; and thirdly, because vve believe him to be a federalist and an aboli tionist. 7th. Resolved, That the course of our Representatives, Messrs. Black, Colquitt, and Coiper, in the Congress of the United States in magnanimously offering themselves as a sacrifice to the great cause of Democratic. Republicanism, receive our warmest admira tion, and should they be placed on the Demo cratic ticket, shall receive at our hands a unanimous support. Bth. Resolved, That for the purpose of carrying out our views more fully, vve appoint Messrs. J. W. Sutlive, B. H. Robinson. Wm. Cast’eburv, James Bush, James S.

T r? 1 I EUSON, Chairman. L- Booker, Secretary. GEORGE M. TROUP’S LETTER. (irom the Southern Banner.) .Mr. Albon Chase I send vou for publi ca:,,,n liie °P ,ni °ns of one of the ablest and most disinterested men of this „r anv od.er age, on a vttally important sublet which nenv agitates the public mind. A Troup man of ] and o/l£4o. Laurens County, Ga., May 16, 1840. Mv L)ear Sir—lt is a long time since I have taken any part in President making.— When Mr. Crawford was smitten bv the hand of Providence, I advised my friends’ at Wash ington to take up Mr. Macon. He was a plain farmer of Revolutionary merit, of sound common sense, with great knowledge oi men and things, and of sufficient political experience to adminitser the Gomnmnet of the United States. He could say no, when it was fitting, and was no dealer in ifs It struck me it w wld do well for an experiment - al least, and that if it succeeded, the people ot the United States might contract a taste for such men, rather than for your well-trained and thorough-bred Politicians. One thing would have been certain, you would have had no violations of (he Constitution or other abu ses to complain of, and il>e Government would have been known and felt only in its salutary Constitutional action. Rut these were so many objections to him. If I failed in my second ‘trial of President making, surely you would not have me at ibis time of day to join in the cry of Loafers, Loco focos, Shmplasters, Log-Cabin, Hard Cider, tin*! the like—let (hose who have a Ihncy for such things settle the matter among them they who have the least to do with it, always excepting a fraction of the office hunters, wilt be the better off. As to the use and abuse of my name in con nexion with the same office, all I have to say is, that if those who used it were genuine State Rights men, they had a right to use it, and were the only men who had—if they used it lor the office, they were wrong—if they used it because they could not consistently vote for either of the persons who were the only can didates for if, then they were right, and then they were thrice welcome to use and abure it. I must confess the use did give me some an noyance, but t hat was personal, and not worth a complaint 5 the abuse in a general sense, I find been used to, and therefore could hear will) it, but in the sense which excited your friendly indignation, it was indeed the most signal and heartfelt gratification. I lie relation in winch you have stood, and the warm feelings constantly manifested to ward me, give you a claim to my poor political opinions, when you please to ask them, ami you have them briefly, but frankly. What is called the Sub-treasury (if it means the dealing by the Government in gold and silver exclusively) I consider not on!v a Con stitutional, but an extremely wise and very expedient measure. It. ought never to have been a dealer in any thing else—at least such lias been always my opinion. I thought the Constitution required it, and it scemed'to me to be most unreasonable that a Government which was compelled to pay all its dibts in gold and silver, should at the same time be com pelled to receive any or every kind of paper which might be called money in payment of debts due to itself. You would no doubt at this moment feel it somewha t comfortable and refreshing to look upon a great dealer in gold and silver, a dealer without premium ‘and without discount, and therefore without profit; dealing to the amount of many millions per annum, and to the amount of many thousands per ditm, constantly receiving and as con stantly paying out—the gratification of the senses in cuchsad times, would lie something, and the chance ol a dime finding its way to your pockets,would be something more; hut il tins dealer so dealt, that we soon began to see v/e could command as many dimes as would do for our market mony, vve would feel y/e had derived a precious benefit by his deal ing, and that indeed a blessing had fallen up on the country. It the dealer happened so to deal, as to supply constamly and uniformly, a small change circulation, or pocket money sufficient for the every day wan sand business ot life; then, indeed, anew era would have opened* which the past had never seen, which would be in glaring contrast with the present, and which the future would hail with thanks giving and praise, and the more joyously, as what was, will be no more, and what is, will be and must be forever, at as long as the deal er lasts and deals in gold and silver exclusive ly. Now il ibis can be accomplished by a dealer, it is more likely to be accomplished by the Federal Government, than by any other agency we know any tffr.g about. Ist, its dealings will be large enough. 2dly, it will be to the same amount or nearly ro, from year to year in times of peace, increasing gradually, perhaps in propolion to an increasing popula tion, and a consequently increasing expendi ture. 3Jly, paying and receiving equal amounts in equal times or nearly so, the small change circulation could never be suddenly contracted or enlarged. I will not pretend to say what the amount of small eharige in cir culation should be in such a country; it ia sufficient, if it gave you only the change fora shin of beef, to tlie butcher, and a loaf of bread to the baker, per diem. But it must necessa rily give a great deal more—perhaps all we want. Stating the average revenue and ex penditure at 20 millions, some 4 or 5 millions of specie will suffice to carry on the annual operation, the balance in the country, whether it bs 40, 50, 60 or 70 millions, will be left to sustain the paper, which, whether it amounts to 120 or 210 millions, will be quite ample for all the demands ol Trade and Commerce— perhaj sqei e enough so satisfy !l e cravings of the most extravagant of the paper money lovers. This paper will he so much the sounder than it would otherwise he, because instead of comparing paper with paper, as you are now forced to do, you would compare it with an ever present'standard of gold and silver. An additional and certain effect of a merely metalic currency for Governmental purposes, v o ild he the cheek it wou’d furnish to the extra vacancies and aberrations of Gov ernment, an effect not to he lightly estimated. lr ou perceive I am sanguine in mv predic tions ol the salutary consequences of this much condemned measures, of vvhicn you have a simple sta’ement of my opinion or belief, with out the argument. I'supposed you asked no more: an argument on a financial subject, is not worth much ; what would appear a good system on paper, might turn out to be one in practice, and an indifferent or objec tionable one on paper, a very good one is practice; but an argument against a system founded on the dishonesty of mankind, is ;i very false one; men must carry into effect systems; men must collect and men must dis burse the public revenue, and it matters noth ing whether that, revenue he of gold or silver or of paper. If indeed, the paper be good for nothing, that is sufficient security agaiost embezzlement; if equally good, it is more ea sy of embixzkmont thap gold and viver. [NO. 19.
