Dear Sir—ln reply to your questions we do no. hes itate to acknowledge ourselves liable (if any body is) to return the money paid by such persons to.you, as our agent, xvho purchased tickets in the New Orleans Mammoth Lottery. All the money you received, (less a triflng commission) xvas immediately forward ed to us and disposed of according to the directions (by contract) of our principal, Louis Schmidt, of New Orleans, who was the sole acting manager of the said Lottery.

Columbus, August 28,1840. 28 4VESTKHIV BANK OF GEORGIA. THIS institution will resume business on the FIRST OF OCTOBER NEXT, and until a general resumption of specie payments, will continue to pay her liabilities in such funds as are passing at par, either in the Western part ol Georgia, North Alabama, or East Teninssee. When a general re sumption takes place in this State, the Western Bank will be lotind behind no other Bank in redeeming her notes wiih specie. This Bank, like many others, had done a liberal business in accomodation notes, or wha: the Banks call slow paper, and which was found too “slow” to be made available when the great pressure cams—a pressure that compelled the soundest and best manag ed banks to stri. e their colors. It is not surprising, then, ti.at an institution, whose managers deserved more credit lor plain honesty than Jinaticial skill, -hould have stepped at such a crisis; while other banks, with large embarrassments and larger credit , should have coniinued to he moving “things of life.” With a capital as little impaired as any Bank that has lost any thing, the Western Bank has now in suit and in judgment, seventy-five or eighty thousand dollars of good claims, which during ‘he present year she has been pressing to an issue, with a view to dis charge fully her obligations to the public. W ith these means, and her cash in hand, she cannot fail to pay by the Ist of October, her whole circulation (rioxv lit tle over thirty-five thousand dollars) wish all her other indebtedness, winch is merely nominal. Thus circumstanced, the Western Bank of Geor gia will in resuming her station arnoug the Georgia Banks, seek no more credit than she deserves, and can fairly maintain in a legitimate couasc of business. Knowing her condition to be sound, 1 pledge xvhatever reputation I may have, that no business xvill be done, during my connection xvith the bank, lhai may endan ger the rights of those xvho confide in the goodness of her bills. An Agency of the Bank will be fixed at Columbus, Ga., which is designed as a convenience to the Banks and people of the interior having settlements to make xvith her.

THOMAS. ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA. Fredericksburg, ( Va .) Aug. 29, 1840. On rny way to the Indian Springs to meet such of my fellow-citizens as might comply with the invitation to be present at a dinner to be giv en to our Senators and three of our Representatives in Congress, on the 2d of September, 1 am detained here by a painful disorder, incom patible with the prosecution of my journey. In my own judgment, the detention is of no importance ex cept to myself, as I cannot presume that my presence or absence will in the slightest degree affect the opinions and action of any of the persons who may compose that as semblage. I regret it, nevertheless, as I am deprived of an opportunity to meet valued friends, and am un able to do that which others for whom I entertain a strong affection, and whose prudence and good sense give weight to their recommenda tions, have thought would be use ful in the present agitated state of our country. I have seen nothing to shake my confidence in the power of truth; nothing to make me doubt the fu tility of all attempts to delude the people by ingenious equivocations, artful exaggerations, blustering pretensions, or open falsehoods. When the spirit of inquiry is awak end, the people are not to be turn ed from the pursuit of facts by pro cessions and parades, by travelling orators and ballad singers, by fid dlings and revelries. A careful investigation of those facts, and calm reflection upon thefn at home, give to the humblest citizen the pow er to decide wisely in whose hands the Chief xMagistracy of the nation can he safely intrusted for the pre servation of external peace, and a perpetuation of those domestic in stitutions with which are insepara bly connected the harmony of the Union, and prosperity, national and individual. These will he used, and, being used, the result will be right. If it were necessary or proper, I could bear my humble testimony to the fidelity with which the de clared opinions of the present in cumbent have been acted upon. Necessary it is not, since the chief ground of objection to him is, that he has performed his engagements, and “followed in the footsteps of his predecessor.” Proper it will not be considered, ns I have been intimately associated with his ad ministration, and identified in feel ing and judgment with the great measures of its fiscal and foreign policy, and would be looked upon as a volunteer and interested witness. Instead, therefore, of speaking what I know and believe to he just of Mr. Van Bu ren and General Harri son, I will use the right of every member of the community, to refer to things of common notoriety, which will aid my fellow-citizens in Georgia in discovering to which of these persons they may safely con fide the Executive power, as it may influence or control the great ques tions— Os a protective tariff; Os internal improvements; Ot appropriation and expendi ture; Os the mode of keeping and dis bursing the public funds; Os slavery, as it exists from the northern confines of Maryland to the Sabine and Red rivers. (Questions of foreign policy aro omitted, for, strange to say, they are not topics in the Presidential canvass, and on that subject tho ad vocates of universal reform intend to make no change.) On these questions the opinions of Mr. Van Buren and General Ha rrison have been in various forms I and at different periods asked for. What their answers were, at what time and in what manner given, are well known facts. My fellow-citi zens can readily decide, with these facts in view, which of these gen tlernen agrees with them on these important and vital subjects. By comparing the explicit, frank, prompt, public, and uniform com munications of Mr. Van Buren, giv en with like readiness to friend or toe, with the reluctant, equivocal, and not unfrequently contradictory givings out of General Harrison— sometimes by reference to former declarations, sometimes by letters from friends and friendly commit tees; again by speeches at arranged meetings, and then by private letters for use hut not publication —they can, without difficulty, determine which of them deserves their con fidence. Shoul i any doubt remain, after this comparison, there are two other facts not unworthy to he remembered in forming a correct judgment: Mr. Van Buren has im puted to him by his advocates every where the same opinions and the same principles; the opinions and principles imputed to General Har rison by his friends and supporters are variant and confra^od—cha meleon like, they take their hues from the objects upon which they rest while you are called upon to examine them, and show a color to suit the region where they are pre sented to view. Should the belief be entertained tin t the declarations of the parties themselves, or those friends anxious to promote their success, are not safe guides, the motive to conceal ment, equivocation, or deception being so powerful, try the parlies by the experimentum crucis. In various stations each has been before the public for more than thirty years. Compare their pro fession with their acts, and then the results of each comparison. If still not satisfied, there are other broad facts that cannot fail to bring con viction to the honestly inquiring mind. A better judgment of the probable conduct of an administra tion in this country is to he formed by looking at the parties by whom its chief is brought forward, and by whom he will he supported if they succeed, than by a scrutiny into the particular opinions and political course of the person who is pro posed for that station. Mr. Van Buren is the candidate of that par ty in all the States, who, under the lead of General Jackson, arrested the gigantic and mad scheme of universal internal improvement— who wrested the public money from the hands of irresponsible and doubt ful corporation, and broke their power—who seek to reduce duties and taxes to the wants of the Go vernment —and who believe lin t these wants admit of diminutions of the public expenditure; of a par ty every where arrayed against abolition, and ready, at all hazards and at all times, to see that the constitutional guaranty of Southern property is fairly and faithfully maintained. He is equally accep table to that party in the Southern, Western,Eastern,and Middle States —has been forced upon neither by combinations or intrigues. General Harrison is the candi date of all the parties in the United States who can be brought to act a gainst the present Administration by the common instinct of hatred. He was forced upon the southern portion of these parties by the combination of Anti-masonry and Abolitionism. Not one Southern vote was given to him in the Harrisburg Conven tion. Among his supporters are ranked the higli tariff and internal improvement men, under the ban ners of Mr. Cloy; the high-toned politician of the New England States—who construe the Constitu tion like the common law, which, contracted as it may seem, expands indefinitely according to the sup posed exigency of the times—who believe there is no safety or pros perity without the agency of a Na tional Bank to manage the fiscal concerns of the Government* and furnish a currency for the people— opposed the late war, and establish ed, according to the opinions ex pressed in the British Parliament, a sort of understood neutrality with the enemy during its continuance— who acknowledge as their leader and standard-bearer, Mr. Webster, of Boston: Ihe Abolitionists of ail colors, under Slade of Vermont, Seward and Bradish, Governor and Lieutenant Governor of New York, tinder whose auspices a deliberate attempt has been made, by State; legislation, to evade that provision of tho Federal Constitution which was adopted for the protection of Southern rights: the Consei vatives, under the guidance of Mr. Rives, who have abandoned their former! friends because the keys of the; vaults where the public treasure isj deposted are kept in the pockets of officers of Government, and not by cashiers of State hanks; and who predict ruin and desolation to the country because that treasure can no longer, under the control of all sorts of State hank directors, he! made the basis of* loans to stimulate every species of corporation folly or private speculation: a fragment of the Nulhfiers, under Mr. Preston and General Waddy Thompson, who have been whirled, like atoms } of dust, from the chariot wheels otfj South Caro ina, as they rolled into 1 their ancient tracts in the ranks of Democracy. The supporters of tlie General in Georgia, I need not designate, i They are known—what they have been, what they are, and what they; wish to he. Some of them have! had, and have lost, popular confi dence; some yet enjoy it; und they unite in their endeavors—the one to recover, the other to retain, popu-l iar favor. To effect their common I object, they are closely allied to pol jiticians whose principles they have j solemnly rejected; whose conduct j they have repeatedly denounced; | whose objects they have always pro cessed to. abhor. If there is any ; truth in the maxim of noscitvr a swiitj it will nut very difficult to decide, from this array of his friends* w hat reliance can be placed on Gen eral Harrison by Georgians. The only Chief Magistrate to w hom the Southern States can safe ly trust themselves, is one who will use the influence of his place wisely to lead congressional legislation on the subjects that must arise for dis cussion within the coming presiden tial term —the appointment of rep resentation, the system of revenue, the admission of new States into the Union; and one who will use his power fearlessly and fully to control all attempts at legislation ou that subject which is exclusively South ern. On this there can he no par ley, for it admits of no compromise. Those who agitate it, do evil, what ever he their pretences or their mo tives. Those who associate, com bine* and act with those agitators, must look to have the finger of sus picion pointed at thorn. No South ern man, who will read dipassion ately the address to the people of the slaveholding States, and the ac companying evidence, from the de mocratic Members of Congress from those States, can have any ex cuse for mistaking his duty when ho act on this question. To the im bodied evidence presented of the movements within the United States of the disturbers of Southern repose, may he usefully added a reference to what is going on abroad. The Government ofGi eat Britain, which has always permitted the Canadas to ho tiie asylum of runaway slaves, lias, within a few yeais, converted all its West India possessions into places of refuge for them* and has formally declared that no claim for them will be availing, although they fetich their possessions by fraud or violence. The same Government has been lately employing itself as the volunteer or selected agent oftlie Pope, in presenting an apostolic let ter on slavery to some of the Span ish American States—a letter which it is not at all improbable was pre pared under influences proceeding from the British isles. Under its convention with Spain respecting the slave trade, it has commissioners in Havana scrutini zing into the commercial pursuits of all nations, and marking all ves sels, not British, hound to the coast of Africa, as suspected of the slave trade, when loaded with cargoes which are lawful commerce in Eng lish vessels from Sierra Leone to a i\y parts of the slave coast from whence the slave factories are sup plied with them. It has black regi ments in its service in the Canadas and in the West Indies. It is fill ing up the ranks of its army by the enlistment of recaptured Africans. Some of the statesmen and pamph leteers of England are engaged, since emancipation in the Wsst In dies lias diminished the productive value of their West India islands, in devising schemes to give a pre sent preference in their markets to the productions of free labor, (like that in British Indiu !) and gradual ly to exclude from them the pro ducts of tho labor of slaves. Oftlie temper and intentions of the agita tors oftlie question of slavery* and the means to he employed, abundant ! evidences are afforded in the pro ceedings of the “World’s Conven tion,” which met in London on the 12th, and continued until the 23d of last June. Two resolutions were ! unanimously adopted, too significant I to require much comment. Those resolutions denounce the removal of slaves from the old to the new States as an unrighteous traffic, of which eighty thousand are annually ; victims; as exciting detestation. j t i Surprise and abhorrence are ac knowledged, that it should he pro tected and cherished by this Gov ernment. That it involves hard ness ol heart in the traders, and cru elty to the negroes, is asserted; and that effectual means should he im mediately taken to remove this stain ! from the character of this nation. Was there ever such a compound of ignorance, folly, and insolence ? The brutal O’CormeH was quite at home in such a convention; and his j insults to the representative of a foreign Government near his own, his vituperation of two of our emi -1 nent public men, were quite in har mony with the occasion. The trans portation of our properly from Vir ginia to Loiisiuua, the internal slave 1 trade, mark you, is “unrighteous,” ’ and effectual means ought to he ta : ken in the United States forthwith ! to remove the stain from this nation. What are these means? We can guess. First, prohibition by Con gress of the transportation of slaves ! by land or sea from one State to ! another; next, a prohibition of the sale of slaves by one man to anoth er in the same .State; and then we shall be ripe for either the late Mr. Rufus King’s or General Harrison’s plan ot gradual emancipation; the .Government purchase of the blacks I by the proceeds of the public lands, or by the oftlie surplus revenue —taxes and duties be ins; properly increased to make that surplus large enough to effectuate the object. The shadows of the troubles in store for us, at home and abroad, are darkening and stealing upon us. \\ hat note of preparation is heard? V\hat measures of precaution are required? The gravest thought and tnost anxious deliberation are de manded, to meet the dangers which will sooner or later come. What others may persuade themselves should he done, I cannot tell; but no step Would seem to be better adapted to bring them upon us at an early day, and when we shall be utterly destitute of preparation, than placing the power of the Gen eral Government in the hands of the heterogeneous coalition that now seek to obtain it in the person of one without the requisite quali fications for the Chief Magistrate of a great republic, and who is ac cused, with too much appearance of trui h, of having, in a public address, engaged, if elected, not to thwart Congress by the use of the veto POWER. The veto power ! a portion of the authority given to the Executive by the wise framers of our Govern ment, which the incumbent of the Presidential chair can neither sur render nor trammel himself in the exercise of, without personal dis honor and treachery to the Consti tution. ‘Fhe veto power! the safe guard of the people against impro vident legislation, or congressional encroachment on the rights of the States and of the co-ordinate south ern States; used for them, it is im possible, while the equality of sena torial representation remains, and ihe present relative proportion of the slave States is preserved, for the phrenzy of fanaticism and the reck lessness of associated party profli gacy to disturb our repose, or assail our firesides, under the sanction of congressional enactments. . Mr. Van Buren is pledged to use it for that purpose—General liarrisou is not. JOHN FORSYTH. APPENDIX. State of the vote at the liarruturg Convention.— As there will be naturally anxiety to know precisely how the delegations from the various Stales voied, we have obtained, in an authentic shape, the following statement, showing the result of the first ballot in the Committee of States.

General Anti-Slavery Convention, called hy the com mittee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery So ciety, he,ld in London on the 12th June, 1840, arid confirmed by adjournment to the 23d of the same month The following resolutions were passed unanimous ly: Resolved, That this convention lias heard wiih dec;, regret and sorrow of the e.t’ent to which the internal slave-trade is carried on from the older to the more newly settled slave Stales < f the American Union— to the extent of upwards of 80,000 victims annually to this unrighteous traffic. Resolved, That in expressing their detestalion of this traffic, and in acknowledging that it excites ih'fir debp surprise and abhorrence that it should be pro’ec ted and cherished by a nation which has abolished the Af ican slave trade, afl l declared it to be piracy; ihi.t convention is impressed with the convicion that such a systematic trade in man must be attended with ex cessive cruelty and wrong to the objects of it, and in volves in its prosecution a fearful extent of barbarity and hardness of heart on the part of the man-trader, and that effectual means ought to be forthwith l?ken in the United States of America to remove this stain from the character of the nation.
