A correspondent of the Courier A Enqui
rer, having inquired, what would he the ( fleet,
•£ the Legislature authorising a suspension
of specie payment*, the editor replies as fol
lows: :f
This privilege ie expressly dented by the
Constitution in the ihHowing words:
“The Legislature shall hero ho power to
peas any law sanctioning in any manner, di
reetly or indirectly, the suspension of specie
payments by any person, association or cor
poration issuing bank- notes of any descrip-
Bill-holders are specially providod for in
the following danse :
ease of the insolvency Bank
aw Banking association,the Bill holders there
of ahalkbwentitled to preference in payment
aver all other creditor* of such Bank or assn
elation.’’
It would seem that hv the Pennsylvania
law, the suspension of a hank must he fol
lowed hy liquidation. The following ia the
•wenty-fourth section of the bunking act,
April 16th, 1860:
M If any hank shall 1 st any time fail or re
fuse tereueem its notes, and jtny its liabili
ties in gold and silver coin, upon demand be ?
log made at the banking-house of shul hank
during banking lionrs, sttc+t failure or refusal ,
shall ho deemed and held to lie on -absolute j
JpiJesture of the charter of said hank.”
Sn>th Carolina. —Tho general re-clmitcr
law of 1852 is well k nown to otir readers im
■tedmtrly interested, and we need only re
print the fourth section :
8 That in case of the failure of said bank .2
each stockholder, copartnership, or body pol
itic, having a share or shares in such bank at
the time of such iaiiure, or who shall have
been interested therein at any time within
twelve months previous to such failure, shall-
W held bound individually, for
any sum not exceeding twice tho amount -of
their share or shares.”

Dear Doctor,—l wrote yon from Macon ]
on last Saturday, where I remained until the
following day. During the day of Saturday
I was very much engaged in business mat
ters. but found time to visit the sanctum of
the emtoi—of tbe Telegittph.--- Mr. “Ofisby 7
was absent, but his chair was filled by C*d.
DeGinfl'enried, than tvhora there is not a.lrgt,-
ter Democrat, nor cleverer gentleman living.
The truth is, Macon is full of clever people,
and 1 never spend a day among them hut it
affords me food for pleasant .reHeetioii after
-1 -w-sHahe-- The burnt district opposite the La
-1 trier House is building up with magnificent
brick edifices, ami indeed the whole city is 1
not only steadily, but rapidly improving.- [
Mtty it continue to improve, and its citizens
to prosper. On Sunday morning at- a quar- :
ter to twelve I left on the Central ears, and
! had a very pleasant trip down, and across the
country to this place, come here,
hut for a chert time I am affected with a feel
, ing of gloomy melancholy. Within one
mile of this town I was born, and here for
the most part I speut niy youth, nnd early
manhood. Every object and localgy- is fa
miliar to me and men, who 1 used to know
in the strength of their manhood, meet me
wit Ik tottering steps, and greet mo with f.d- 1
terin” voices, And w here are ray - play
mates, the companions of my boyhood ?
Tiue, I meet with a few of them here, and
still a few others are scattered about where I 1
[ can occasionally see them, but where are the
‘ rest, ttfb majority of ‘them ? Some of them
many years ago; turned their faces .toward*
1 the setting sun, nnd have never Lien heard
] from, and inauy, very many are asleep in the
cold grave.

making a most violent if not eloquent appeal
to his hearers, une of the legs of the stove;
which had been loosened in some way, fell

an angle alarmingly suggestive of fire. The
audience commenced crowding out of the

T A PRINTER IN LUCK -.
One,of the peculiarities of printers is that
thev seldom live long enough for Luck to
‘catch them. To We a printer old' in years
is a T.ira thing because the)* seem to be par-j
ticttlarly under the influence of that; dictum
which says “whom tho gods love, dies
yqmig.”
Lately there w as a young English printer,
named llenry Floyd, engage! oil:the .Savan
nah Georgian, ami yesterday lie sailed’ From
this port tor Irivetp ml oil tlie Ship, “ Geor- j
“/(/,” having received the welcome news
that he‘w as heir to an estate of =4160,000
about SjOO.OOO ; a sum be desired iu
“ hard fitnes!” , ; *
Floyd is calculated to make a nensation
with his fortune, so iu anticipation of y the
good time coming” he did certainly “ cut his
stick.” Yesterday he sailed down the Bay
with a Champagne bottle in one hand and a
flag iti the other, upon which was written :
“ Hurrah for the l’toss which gives good
proofed’ its work and adds to the columns
of Liberty I.” —Savannah Georgian.

Enrrom :—The Savannah Morning
: Nows has just come to hand containing an
able and interesting letter from tbe Hon.
Win. B. Gaulden, which lias kindled, into*
blaao. the fines whifch have been smouldering
in my bosom for years. Mr. Ganlden with
a wisdom for whieliTie alone ii distinguish
ed, sees in the small, vo.e which he received
for Congress, the most conclusive evidence of
1 his strength among the poople. Tlio “ hon
est*veomenry of the land'’ were fraudulent
ly induced to think that 001. Seward was
stronger than himsolf, and thereby he lost
four thousand vote*; a proceeding which
! ought and doubtless will call down the just
(indignation of every right-minded man.-
What right had aay body to make the peo
ple think thus, or indeed what right bad the
’ people to think at all I I say, that as Gol.
Gaulden was tb# tegular nomiuee by the lar
gest Convention ever held in the District, be
1 ought to have thought for them according to
the “time honored usages of the I
am excited, 1 confess greatly excited, ou
this subject, for although our cases aro not
precisely alike, ypt tny own position is *0
similar to that of the Col. that ha has my
warmest sympathies. There are nearly one
hundred thousand votes in the State of Geor
gia, and I am sure that seventy-five thou
sand are in favor of myself for Governor.—
It is true that 1 have nover-been nominated,
and in this, toy position differs from that of
the Col., but the very fact that I have never
received a vote in any nominating Conven
tion, is conclusive beyond the “ shade of a
shadow of a doubt,” that I am tho choice of
the people. Independent candidacy seems
now to be the order of the day, and two
years form now I expect to offer my servi
ces to the. State. In that canvnss I have
‘.entire ‘confidence to use tho language of tbe
CoL that the Democratic party will do m*
justice, aud more especially that those sev
enty-five thousand friends Who reluctantly
sacrificed me for what they considered tbe
success of the party, will take the first op
portunity to repair the injury which they
have unwillingly inflicted on me.

IHE DEMOCRATIC IARIY OF lfcT CONGRESSION
AL DISTEICT OF GEORGIA. <rT~^
MiBt.HAVKN, Liberty county, )
October lu, 1857. )
\Ye have just passed through, a strange
land excited campaign. The nominee of
(the party has been defeated, whilst au iude
i pemtent candidate, self-nuiuijuated, has been
j elected, by- a large majority. At the result
; 1 have personally no regrets to express, no
j cuiuphiints tout.er. Though defeated Lfeel
Ine t . r i-n.-t down n t dishonored. 1 wonld
prefer defeat with the smiles of an approv
ing col science, to success :-t the exjense of
ptrTKe- ingniMt irle, voii.rted promises-atrtLhi<>-
k -nvows. Can my Mrccc-ssfid opponent ray

l would not un necessarily obtrude myself
upon the public, yet I feel it due to myself,
to tiie country,. to niak'e-AtisihSpdse of tbe
| means wii icL tmve Item used to defeat me.
(in the loth of July last, I was almost
innmiinottsly nominated by much the largest
Democratic Convention ever asembied iu the
i District. A convention representing more
intelligence, more virtue, and more diameter
b_v far than any that has .ever assembled in
the District, Mr. (Seward being present
~ai that Convention and
vut.es. (*u the same day-he, ip-declaied him
self an independent candidate a* lrr back a*
; December last. He immediately commeucod
the work of slander and de'r.iCfton aeainst me
j ami tiiat t'om ention followed by a set of an
jouyumns writers in tbe variou* jiuhlie prints.
1 .wua-assailed by every avenue through
which slander aud detraction could reach any
Gnrati utterly regardless of the obligation
| which lie was under tp mesiuce 1853, which
: obligations and promises 1 have proven up
on Inn; try five disinterested witnesses.
; Aftcr having exhausted their skill and
j ingenuity in tiiis regard, and prepared the
public mind to n certain extent, within the
last few weeks they charged their batteries
w ith another kind of- ammunition to-wit:
Tlpit jhe (Gel. G.) was the weaker man of
•4lie two candidates 4 that to vote for,Mr. Bar-
American candidate ns any diversion
ot the votes from Mr. Seward would be to
elect Mr, IL T his argument was stereo
typed through the newspapers, reiterated*
again and again throughout tlie length and
breadth of.tiro District, rehearsed a-t -.every
j cross-road, every bar room and grog shop,
and neighborhood, messages sent and written
from county to county, backwards and.for
j wards, until the Democracy became convinc*
1 ed of its truth nnd induced to heleive that lo
vole for me ,would not only be losing their
| vote, but tii effect would be, to vote for Mr.
Bartow. Under this pressure, many, very
.many, of my warmest friends . deserted me,
ami 1 have no doubt that Ibis argument (fatso
in its inception, ami only true so far ns tho
j assertion-was calculated to-produce its own
. fulfillment) lost mo four thousand votes. —
ImiTiudintely on the eve of the election, I am
informed flint reports were circulated iu va
rious counties that I had declined nnd with
, drawn my name. Such a report was startod
in my own county, and had I not got home
tlurday before the election, I should proba
bly have got hut lew votes there. Another
report that in alliance with Mr. Bar
tow*.to beat Mr. Seward... It would fill
volume td write all tire- misrepresentations
.•tnd|falsehoods that wore circulated to decoivo.
the people. Suffice it, they were deceived
and imposed .upon, and induced to repudiate
the time honest usages ot the jinrty in regard
to the nominations. They have established
the precedent for independent candidating
which may result in the ruin of the party,
nnd at the bidding of one mail.
