Mr. Echols:
MR. ECHOLS’ RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, several of the banking institu
tions ot this State have suspended specie
payments, and the bill holders of such sus
pended banks have had to submit to great
and inconvenience in tlie disposition of thffr
bills, either in procuring funds abroad, or in
discharge of their debts, or otherwise; and it
is the opinion ot this General Assembly, that
there does not now exist any sufficient cause
tor such suspension; and that there now exists
no reasons whatever why such banks as have
suspended specie payments should not prompt
ly discharge their liabilities by a redemption
ot their bills, and discharge of all other debts
in gold and silver; and in case of their failure
so to do, that further indulgence should not
he granted, and that the extraordinary privi
leges heretofore conferred, he withdrawn.

any bank to redeem tlieir bills and discharge
all their liabilities outlie day aforesaid, m gold
and silver, that his Excellency tlie Governor

Solicitor General in whose Judicial Circuit
such suspended bank or brinks may be, to

that tlie affairs of the bank be wound up and
brought to a closer

MILLEDGEVIUyE, Nov. 13,1840.
I have, perhaps, been too hasty in giving
some remarks upon banks ami the resumption
of specie payments by the banking institutions
of the State. Upon my word 1 thought at
the time I was writing them that my party
was in power in the legisla tureen J that J
■could, therefore, give my opinion more freely.
Du it-flection, it appeared to me that 1 was too
bull, especially wnen !■ recollected that tlie
Harrison party, die pany now hi jMnver, claim
a.i tlie talents, an lue political values, and ail
the disinterestednesso| me country, i should
therefore nave remained silent, anu ieiy, most
implicitly, > the iinn ui such a parly, lor a
wise and etfieeieiu administration of the
lauve depatuneni ot our State government.
It is a notorious fact, that me country nas
gieat.y suffered since May, 1-837, and contin
ues to sutler in every branci, oi industry, and
in her fiscal, financial, commercial and agri
culture! opei aUons. It is another notorious
I id. that the disasters the country nas suffer
ed, and continues to sutler, have been arer.btd
to :g i nance, inability, and contracted views
of Ine democratic party, in power since ISiff
and to which 1 belong And it is an ntier no
torious fact, that the Harrison party have
pledged themselves, should the people place
them in power, to restore the prosperity of the
country, to establ.sh a sound and creditable
cu r rency, to equalize exchange between the
several sections of the union-, to restore the
credit of the State abroad, to-curtaii the expen
ditures ot tire government, to employ bui non
est men in otficial stations, and, hi short, to
create harmony oi teeling between all liie ci -
izens of this great republic. The riglus ot
the Stales are to be respected, and tilt- ub .g
Hons ot the federal constituiion are to be veil
gioiisly observed. Uudei all these circurn- {
stances, these promises and pledges, now then i
can I doubt tha. the Harrison party, the put
ty now in power in our State leg* lain e, will j
lail to reauze the expectations nl ihe people, ;
especially when the party combine so much j
intelligence, talent, and political wisdom anu
virtue! My remarks then on the question ot
the banks and the resumption of specie pay
merits were premature, (should have wan
ed, before giving my views of what should be
done, for a fult dt velopenient oi those sound
and wise measures which will, no doubt r ema
nate from a legislative body composed of a
majority of men who have tlie ability to re
trieve the State from tlie critical situation in
which it now stands.
Notwithstanding the reliance I have in-the
wisdom of the majority of the legislature, and
the conviction I feel lhat the promises made
will be more than realized, (shall bean-atten
tive observer of passiog- events, and judge
Calmly and dispassionately of the measures re
commended of a lopSed for the welfare and fu
hue prosperity of tlie State. And the majori
ty may re9t assured, that (shall not tail in mv
duty,- should they fail-in the beneficial change
and reform the? have pledged themselves to
effect .md which pledges alone procured to
them the aseemlaney they have obtained
But what have we to expect from the mea
sures of ihia enlightened-and patriotic majority
of the legisla ture.'’
The currency of ifte state is-in’ ff wretched
conditions most of all the banks are in a slate
of suspension of the payment of their liabilities
in ti e constitutional currency of the country:
the citizens are daily suffering losses by the
depreciation l of the noies issues by the banks.
By the acts of the present legislature, the
hanks will be compelled to resume specie pay
ments; a sound paper currency Will be restor
ed, in credit* throughout the state; and no
more losses will he sustained by our citizens
by the depreciation ot bank paper, an 1 by the
enormous exchange between the north and the
sou'h.
The credit of the state has been seriously
injured in tb‘ j north. The present legislature
will dace if inn Commanding position
. The Western and Atlantic Bail Road must
he completed’ and to complete it, tlie means
must be provided The present legislature
will not only provide tfit-* meansofcomplebon,
but will also provide tiie means to pay what
is due on tlie work already done, and the in
terest on the stock created for the construction
j of the road.
Tire notes of the Central Bank are at a dis
! count every where hi ihe state, and would
j certainly Continue in that condition, but for the
! power obtained bv the Harrison party hr the
legislature, who will, by the wisdom and ener
gy of their measures, restore the credit of that
bank and of iL notes, for it will- be to the in
terest >f the members that those notes slioukl
not be at a discount, as they wil have to re
c ive nothing else but Central Bank notes fur
tli- ir pay.
The credit ot the siafe ,vdl be.restored by
the present legislature, nnd plenty of money
then be borrowed. But notwithstanding
teat plenty of money will nave been borrowed,
some ready money will havc‘to be obtained
somewhere, to’ pay the interest on ihe money
borrow ‘d and which has been already bor
r wed, as well as to pay the current < xpt'nses
of i|,e government. VVhere can tluslittle n a
|dy tnooev be obtained? The Cent: al Bank
j will not he able to furnish a sufficient supply.
[ ‘V'herefrom? The present legislature, wi'li
I an enlightened foresight, w II devise a nice,-

\ NEW CIRCUIT.
A bill is progressing before the
present Legislature to create anew
Judicial Circuit out of the Chatta
hoochee and Southern Circuits.—
As we were opposed to this measure
before the late elections, and so ex
pressed ourself, we cannot be
eharged with approving it now on
party grounds. Our opposition is
based on the ground, that there is
no necessity whatever for it. We
are aware that the friends of this
measure are urging, as a reason,
that the business of the Courts, in
the counties of Talbot, Stewart and
Randolph are so heavy, that the
same cannot he disposed of within
tlie time now allowed bv law for the
holding of these Courts. It is true,
that tlve dockets of the Courts of
these counties have not been dis
posed of for the last three years;
but, if once disposed of, no person,
acquainted with these Courts, blit
will Ire compelled to say that the
litigation in them* has declined with
in the last year so much, that, if
the present unfinished business was
brought up, (which the Judge could
easily do by holding adjourned
Courts in each of the counties for
orre week,) the business hereafter
of no one county on the Circuit, j
would be sufficient to entertain the
Court more than one week, save
Muscogee, and even in Muscogee,
not longer than two; its at the last
term there were only some 130
common law cases returned, and
scarcely half a dozen of them of a
litigated character. There are ten
counties in the Chattahoochee Cir- 4
cuit; and, as we have said, in no
county will the session of the Courts
last longer than one weed;, except
Muscogee, and there not longer than
two. Under such a statement of I
facts.—and we sav they cannot he
successfully contradicted,- —will the
Legislature increase her annual ex
penditures $2,325 forever, (for who
ever heard of a Circuit, when once
formed, being afterwards abolished,) j
when the evil complained of by the
advocates of anew Circuit, (the de
lay of Justice,) can be remedied by
the present Judge of the Chatta
hoochee Circuit holding adjourned
Courts? V/e are aware that the
present Judge complains of the
amount of official labor he has to
perform; hut Judge Wellborn was
no strtinger to all of this when ho
sought and obtained the office. It
Was, therefore, hfs agreement with
the Legislature that elected him,
and he ought to perform it. Ho
will only sit 22 weeks in the year,
having 30 weeks left him for study
and recreation. But it is said the
j Grand Juries of most of the counties
of the Chattahoochee Circuit have!
so recommended, Does not every!
man know that these bodies fee-j
quently make iveon- mendat ions -is l
tins ksad. Without mimitoiv mqpir-j
’ ing. into lit*-- fact?, and looking to!
the future; W ■lk ;:i seni-m!

-oiC 1 tie fact that there will he

ness i- -rtice disposed of. We again
repeat, wiii the Legislature tax the
people-with this additional expense
forever , for the satioof relieving the
present judge from three weeks ex-;
tra labor? Better give him extra
pay for I he same.
It would he well, We think, for
the Legfslatuie to change the time
of holding flie Courts in the Chat
tahoochee Circuit, an of allowing!
the counties of Baker and Lee a)
week each; and, vve think it would j
be well, if the lime is changed, that
;the Judge and Bar should he re
lieved from attending the Courts in
the counties of Baker and Lee in
the month of August, and the al
teration in the time should be made
with reference to the same.
If the time of holding the Courts
iare changed, and the Judge requir
ed to bring up the unfinished busi
ness, every evil now complained of
; will be remedied and fully obviated.

Ft o~n the Richmond Enquirer.
Virginia safe!—The groans of the Bri
tons! —The Whigs confess their “unspeaka
ble mortification” in failing to carry this mo
ther of State'and of Statesmen with them.
They feel their victory to be altogether in
complete. Their joy in the midst of the-r
■ r:nmp is is and amped by this memorable de
feat. i’i.ey value whit they have lost, al- ;
most as much as what they have gained, j
They hav gained Harrison; but they have,
osi V rgfoia. God bless her! She has stood
op with the spirit which has always marked ;
this proud, unterrified Commonwealth. She j
has never yet voted for a Federal President— j
pod we hope she never will. Amid all the j
phlar-i, which have been temporarily prostra ;
’ c * in Palmyra, the highest pillar stands, j
• ; : - insc.'-.piion:
• Wginie! the proud and tm terrified Com
j inonwealth True to herself, true to her priti- j
! triples, true to their friends, and true to tlie
Union.”
It is indeed a tantallizing thing to these i
W liigs—that whilst they have carried so
many other States, and whilst they confident
lv counieil upon tiie virtue of their charms — ,
the log cabin and the coonskms upon this.
State too!—the cup of enjoyment which, was |
fitting from so many sources, is yet dashed
with the hitter drop of disappointment. They
have lost Virginia, to whom so many looked
for a generous example of devoted principle.
They have not only fist her now, but they
see too well, that to her is again left the high ‘
office of becoming, in the words of the elo
quent Carolinian, J. C. Calhoun, “the flag
bearer of the South”—aye, and of the Union,
as she was in 1800, during the reign of the
elder Adams, and as she was during the dark
days of the younger Adams. The conse
crated standard is now put into her hands—
and to her sons, and to the chivalry of South
Carolina, will be reserved the duty of awa
kening the whole South, and of rousing up
her sister States to the doctrines which she
preached in ’9B, and which were embodied
in the election of Thomas Jefferson. As it
was then, so it will be again. Circumstan
ces marked by a most extraordinary conjunc
tion, and zealously employed by a most un
hallowed combination of the odds and ends of
various parties, have produced a temporary
defeat of the Democracy of tlie land. An
eclipse has come over the horizon; hut, we
are again destined to enjoy a brighter day.
The Federal party has beat us three times—
hut their reign has twice endured hut for four
years. The same fate awaits the present
Federal Dynasty—if we do our duty now,
as was done in ISOO. and in 18-28. If we do
our duty! Is there a Republican in Virginia,
who is not prepared to stand by his arms, to
save the country front the Goths, and the
Constitution from violation?
The enemy must now abandon their hopes
ol’Virginia. The die has gotoe against them—
at least here. The polls of ail the counties,
(except the balance froiir Tajfewell,) have
reached us, from some source or other,- and
we can now undertake to repeat the anrrun
ctation, that all is safe in Virginia! After one
of the most tremendous storms, which had
visited Virginia, and which lias overthrown
tin 4 votes of so many States, it is now ascer
tained. that she has cast her vote for Martin
Van Boren. She did not stop to calculate
whether VV. H. Harrison and John Tyler
were natives ol her soil. She went alone for
principle; and, when she found, a stalwart
champion in the son of another State, the
man who lias done so much lor her principles,
the man’ who has defied the dark factions Os
his own region, the man who has been re
! ‘■'fiked with being “a Northern man with
Southern feelings,-” aye, “a traitor to the
North,” because of his attachment to the
compromise of tjoe Constitution; the man,
Who has thrown himself into the breach for
her, and who has braved the loss of his pop
; ulafitv at home—this is the man whom Vir
j gmia. with a decision worthy of her cause,
and a magnanimity woithv of her Character,
has selected ns her candidate for the Presi
dency. The majority is smaller than was ex
pected hv some. I’he Whigs boastinglv
said, that we should not get it at all, but that
they would carry her by 4,4oo—yet her vote
is conclusive—and it places her in her right
position before the world. The past approves
if. and every coming day will but show the
wisdom of her choice. Trusted by her friends,
respected even by her enemies, her loss most
deeply regretted by the very party who boast
of so many evanescent victories, she comes
again into tlie field wrtli a reputation which
deserves admiration; and a moral force
which demands confidence and respect.
Yes, sirs, Virginia is not years. Although
rhe Baltimore American of’ last Monday says
“the belief at present is, that Harrison has
the State bv f OOO at least;” yet be assured
the boot is on the other leg. He has lost H
by more than H)0(>. Although’ the “Boston
j Courier ” may exclaim, “who cares how Vir
| gmia will vote? Ami though we have Peun
isylvaniaon our side, die best of it is—il can
i be done without her.” Trne, you have done
| v i.oui Virginia, because she would not lend
j her hand to such a doing. But who cares?
| L-iok -'long your whole tine, and ask each of

hiß—Five Indian women and seven chil
dren were taken about the Ist instant, on the

ficer about the sth inst., with a party of ST?
Dra goons, was so close upon CoaCochee j

the packs were taken recently by the Dra
goons, the Indians making their escape. The
plunder consisted of some fifty or more new
blankets, new cloths, dresses of all sizes and
descriptions, children’s clothing, silk hose and
handkerchiefs, Sec. The “great talk” with

I that the’ banks in the State are generally.
| sound. It also speaks in favorable terras of
{ the course adopted and pursued by the Central;
I Bank. To our merchants the condition of
the Georgia banks is a subject of great inter
est, inasmuch as theyfurni-h us with a circu
lating medium* almost exclusively.
The Governor urges farther appropriations
for the completion ot the plans of internal im
provement, now unfinished. He states that
the Western and Atlantic. Rail Road contrac
tors are creditors to the State, and says that
“these claims present demands upon our jus
tice, for which it will be necessary to pro
vide.”
The interests of education are carefully
advocated, yet with decision and strength.
A due importance is attached to them.- and ap
propriations for common schools, are urgently
solicited, and he says:—
“Our political institutions being based upon
at* enlightened view of the rights of man.
cannot be supported ‘hut by the virtue and in
telligence of the people. These should be
nurtured and fostered by the Sta f e, and the
door oi instruction should be opened to the
humblest child of poverty. Every citizen
then, by proper industry and application,
might acquire such a knowledge of the histo
ry of this Government, its true policy, and
the tendency of its measures, as would ena
ble him ‘o dete t ‘he machinations of the cor
i rupt politician, and to distinguish nroperlv be
tween the mad pageantry and low appeals of
the demagogue, and the lofty principles sus
tained by arguments of the patriot.”
It will also afford much gratiffeatfen to eve
ry true patriot, and lover of real philanthropy
too withal, to find that he regards with pit per
feeling the proceedings of the self-styled
“World’s Convention.” This ridiculous at
tempt, on the part of the English, to interfere
with the domestic institutions of the Lnited
States, he most unqualifiedly condemns, and
calls the attention of the Legislature to the
movement.
We have now touched on nearly all tho
topics discussed in the messagr, in \vh ch Flo
rida has an interest, and again express'our
gratification at having received so able and
states:?:• iVike a document. Jn these times of

tliat I consider them superior to any works on the
subjects of which they treat. Students in Gran ma
