I.v uniin• there w,;s enough to induce aj
majority of the Conmiitt -e of Investigation, a 1
committee u'hich was selected from the most
kl.'lc an i honorable members of the 1 louse o£
Kepresen;ati ves, to recommend a suspension of! (
farther act; >n upon the bill, and a prosecution of;
the inquiry. As the charter had ye four years
to nm, ansi as a renewal row was not necessary •
to he successful prosecution of its business, it -
was to have been expected that the bank itself,
cons ! »■ s of its purity, and proud of its char .c- .
ter, would have wi hdrawn its applica-ion for
tli ■ pres at, and demanded the severest scruti
ny into all its transactions. In their declining
to do so, lucre seems to be- an additional reason
why the functionaries of the Government should;
proceed with less haste, and more caution, inf
the r ,-nevval oftheir monopoly.
The bank is professedly established as an
agent of the Executive branches of the Govern
ment and its constitutionality rs maintained on 1 '
’hat ground. Neither upon The propriety of
present action, nor upon the provisions of this;
act, was the Executive consulted. It has had!
no opp irtunity to say that it neither needs nor
t mts an agent clothed with sucli powers, andij
1 ored by sa :h exemptions. There is nothing
m its I' gitimate lime lions whicli make it noc< s
&ny or proper. VV liatcver interest or infla
me, v. bother public or private, has given birth
to his act it cannot be found either in the wish
. . ,
t - or necessities ol Lie Lxecu.ive Department,
by which present action is deemed premature, .
an I he powers conferred upon its agents not j
only unnecessary, but dangerous to the Govern- i
tuent and cOun ry.
1 is to be regretted that the rich and power- j
f d too often bend the acts of government to';
tiujir selfish purposes. Disunc ions in society (
tvi 1! always exist under every just government.
E j talily of ah n«, of education,or of wealih,
cannot be produced by human institutions. In
th ful enjoyment of the gifts of heaven, and
Jh ■ fruits of superior indtis ry, enconomy, and
virtue, every man is equally entitled to protec-'
lion by law. Hut when the laws undertake to
F. id to these natural and jus advantages, artifi
c.a! distinctions, to grant titles, gratuiiies, and
exclusive privileges, to make the rich richer,
nnd the po'ent more powerful, the humble mcm-
L rs of society, the farmers, mechanics, and la
bor rs, who have neither the time nor the means
of s curing like favors to themselves, have a
jiglit to complain of iho injustice of their gov
ernment. There are no necessary evils in gov
i riiineiii. Its evils exist only in its abuses. Ifi
it woul 1 confine its-If to equal protection, and,|
rs leaven docs i s rains, shower iis favors alike;
oil the high and the low, the rich ;md the poor,]
it would be an unqualified blessing. In the act;
before me, there seems to he a wide and untie-1
C'-ss try departure from tin s ; just principles.
Nor is oar Government to be maintained, or!
our I mon pr served, by invasions ol the rights
an I powers o* the several H ates. In thus at- 1

r.f he du acuities our Government now encoun-jl
tors, an 1 most ofthe dangers which impend over!!

ofthe leginmate objects of government by our
na ionul leglsla km, and the adoption of such j
principles as are embodied in this act. Manv
of oar ricn ur a have not been content with
equal protection and equal benefits, but have

nor alarm, ror relief and deliverance let us
firmly rely on that kind Providence which, I am

CHOLUBA.
From the Quebec Gazette of June 59.
Since the appearance of the cholera in Eu- 1
r*ope, the scientific gentlemen have, ns is tliei
case on most oftheir great questions, been much j 1
divided in opinion uj'on the laws which the virus •
ofthe cholera follows in fixing itself in conn-; ,
trt**s and in the human frame. Contagionis s ■
and non-contagiouis's, and advocates of the dis-i|j
rise being epidemic, have furiously gone to the
. e? i f v w t tj]
onset m words. The facts cannot be mistaken j:,
by the mass of mankind who have access to
them, and it is fortunate upon the whole trial '
most governments are not composed of heated 3
disputants. -
That cholera is not contagious, in the sense
that it will a fleet the body by more touch or, '
contact ofthe sick, every person here must be !
convinced of. |*
That it is contagious or infectious, which ,
v ■ r-N are in reality generally synonymous, ;
m the sense that the malady may le caugiit by <
inhalmg the virus or ]>oison afloat in the air, ;
■ . “ , ‘ , > j I
arising from a sick or dead body, or from clothes (
or other substances holding the poison, every <
man o* ordinary understanding who has attend- :
ru to its course here, must be satisfied of.
i hat it is not an epidemic or general, or at- ,
tacking at once large bodies of people, or ex- ,
isting in extents of the atmosphere overlying
large parts of a country, is we think equally ‘
clear : ’ id
For it has been limited to the towns and vi- .
• nuy of Quebec and Montreal : it fiew from t
;Quebec to Montreal, without attacking any
'place intermediate; it came up the Ht. Law*- '
rencc to Quebec without exhibiting itself at j
Halifax, St. John, Boston, or New*.York, all :
ports nearer Europe, the source of infection :
| But Us course in Quebec &i s transportation
to Montreal, put it beyond all doubt that it is ;
not an epidemic in the usual sense of the w ord, j
Those who have visited Quebec know that |
a considerable -part of the town is higher
than the other. The high parts of the town.'
such as the Cape, may ho said to have been ;
wholly free from the disease ; those ! tss high, j
to have been partially free ; the lower town and :
I St. Roch produced three fourths of the deaths ; ;
among the soldiers on the Cape and in the je- ;
quit’s barracks, confined to the barracks, and ,
'precautions having been taken not to admit sus- j
picious persons, no case has: occurred : houses in ;
Champlain street have pro luced as many as from 1
6 to 10 deaths each, the adjoining ones kept clean j
and disinfected, have been wholly free from
.them ; wherever one case occurred, two, three, i
or four universally followed, if the source ofj|
infection was not removed or the premises üban-.
doned.
1 All the facts therefore fully warrant the con
clusion That a quarantine system is good, and 1
that had it been very s.rictlv carried into exe
cution, Lower Canada would not, it is almost |j
certain, bear the disgrace of having admit cd a
7 . . -
disease into America, which will undoubtedly q
sweep off in the lapse of 12 months, in *2O to 30 j
of the adult population of the towns and vil-1
I luges, which may visit the same city an unlimited j
aumbar of times, and indeed produce in the end j
such a dreadful combination of calamities as'
[harrow the mind to reflect upon.

Some day lust week, the Northern Mail failed tear-;
rive here and in Charleston, owing to an exchange of
the bags in Fayetteville. Some blame has been attach,
led to the Post-Master at Fayetteville for this failure,
1 when he is blameless, and when the mistake is to be as.
; cribed to the drivers of the stages. We have been in- 1
( j
| formed that the utmost car. 5 is taken by Mr. Macßak, |
I the Post-Master at Fayetteville, by constant personal j
I attention to prevent the occurrence of mistakes, and to
: secure to the public all the facilities and conveniences
| that the Post-Office establishment is calculated to afford, j
[ The mistake occurred after the mails had been taken j
I from the Post-Office at Fayetteville, and exchanged by |
the negligence of the drivers of the stages for Charles
ton and Augusta.

We make no apology for the space which the mes
sage of the President occupies in our columns. It will)
: be read with attention ; and little reflection upon every i
~. * * {
sentence cannot tail to produce the conclusion, that this!
' public paper emanates from a heart as pure as it is pa
triotic, and entirely devoted to the welfare of his conn
j try. The just conceptions entertained by the President
of the federal constitution, of tiie powers this instru
ment delegates to the three great branches of the go- 1
vernment, and of the powers which were given to die
Bank by the bill the President has rejected; must strike! ;
i the mind of the reader very forcibly. Even those who | 1
|do not agree with the President on this occasion, and! 1
| who believe in the constitutionality and expediency oij 1
the charter, will admit that honesty of purpose and a I
high sense ol public duty, alone influenced the President
in the measure he has adopted. We are aware, how- 1
ever, that his enemies, will raise a hue and cry against 1
him. His open enemies, because they will believe and 1
hope, that this veto will injure the prospects of Gen. ‘
Jackson in Pennsylvania, and benefit Mr. Clay. His '
moderate enemies in the south, because by lessening <
the popularity of Gen. Jackson in this section of the 1
country, the popularity of Mr. Calhoun may be increas- 1
ed, whereby his chance of being taken up for the Pro- >
sidency, would be better than it is at the present time. •
And though apparently contending for state rights, we *
would not be surprized to see some of the nullification 1
prints take a hostile stand against the President for his 1
veto, and abuse him for the exercise of one of the con- 1
stitutional privileges attached to his office, though, so
far, we arc glad to perceive that the leading prints of
the party have honourably and boldly come out in sup
port of it.
We have not room to say much upon this interesting <
subject. We may return to it in our next, should not a <
press of communications prevents us from doing so. <

Dr. Rtevbns, the President of the Board of Health of;
the city of New-York, reports to the Mayor 44 new cases;
and 6 deaths for the 24 hours ending July 10. The hos-!
pital reports, of the same day, state 65 new cases, 38 j ,
deaths, 9 cured, and 124 remaining. Dr. Stevens, in his .
reper*. says:—
«• The Special Medical Counsel assure the Board of:
Health that the disease in the city is confined to the ini-,
prudent, the intemperate, and those who injure them-! :
selves by taking improper medicines. So limited is the | £
disease to p r.icular descriptions ot persons, and to par-[ j
ticuiar localities, that many physicians, known to be
most extensively engaged in private practice, have not
reported or met with a single case. :
“ The number of admissions in?o the Hospitals in the
city, is found to be nearly one-third less than that ot v
yesterday.” %
From the Mercantile Advertiser, of July 11. T
Tlic Report of yesterday from the Board of Health, i
though it does not exhibit a diminution of cases ; yet, i fc
in our mind, it rather should abate than increase the v
alarm. We have reason to believe that in the report of
n w cases many o ‘ a type so mild are moulded, that they
would at any time but the present be set down as no. r
thing more than the common cholera morbus ofthe e
count rv—in proof of th’S —or that <»ur physicians under- ,
stand the disease so well, that they cm cure it in a j
large proportion ol the cases—toe deatns are very few,
only 6in private practice, an 1 13 in tne hopitals.—ln
either view, the cause of alarm ought *o abate. The r
new cases in the city yesterday including the hospital £
reports, are 86, and the deains 19. When the cases rc- ,
in tuning over from previous days are considered, the
mortality is much less than we had any reason to anti- 4
cipate. c
Let fill people continue temperate in diet and cxer- t
cise. Avoid exposure to sun or rain, be as little in the ?
nmht nir as possible, and change the dress with every
change of temperature—those who observe these rules,
.are in verv little danger of attack, and if attacked we ‘
are morally certain that they will be cured. I '

JSuch a total exemption from disease in the harbor, at

i . i
i been witnessed in that house, took place. The subject o!
; debate was a resolution originally offered by Mr. Foster, of
: Georgia, and again moved by Mr. Cates, of Maine, de
claring that the language used by William Stanberry,
j charging the Speaker wills shaping his course, as presi-
{ ding officer of the house, with a view to the attainment
j of office from the President of the United States, was an

.Iff ssrs. Editors : —A writer in this morning’s Chro
nicle, under the signature of “Premium,” endeavours
to establish the position, that the present exorbitant
difference of exchange, is wholly to be attributed to the
monopolizing influence of the branch of the U. States
i Bonk at Savannah, and alludes to its transactions with
the government, as an illustration. Being myself one
of those who have always regarded the existence ot the
United States Bank, as an institution inimical to the spir
it of any free government, but more particularly violat
ing those limits which ought under our constitution, to
exist between the state and general government, to say
nothing of the absurdity of any government being bank
ers, as in this instance 1 hold that ours is, I shall by no
means undertake to defend (if even I had the capacity,)
jits transactions, although in the one adduced, I cannot
isee any cause for censure. Bat I, nevertheless, cannot
j .accord in the sentence of the above writer, as respects
the existing state of exchange. Why charge the Uni
ted .States Bank with being the cause of drafts on the
North, Charleston, or Savannah, being at a premium,
when the bills of our own city banks, are bought with
avidity by brokers and others, at from 2 to 2 j per cent,
premium ? As well almost might any one attempt to
convince me, that the U. States Bank is the cause of my
note not being worth as much m New. York, where I
may not bo known, as it may be in Augusta, where 1
reside, and consequently am well known. lam not a
ware at what rate the branch of the United St ites Bank
at Savannah, checks on the North, if ever it docs at all.
But I am creditably informed, that it does not hesitate
to receive the bills of any of the banks in this place or
of Savannah ; and any one knows that a bank receiving
any description of notes or bank bills, credits the indi
vidual depositing the same, for an equivalent amount of
dollars and cents ; and ought it to be charged with op
pressiveness for not taking bills of banks that exist
hundreds of miles off', and at places that but a day or
two since were literally in the woods ? I trust not; ra
ther let us lay the blame, if any does exist, to its right
cause, viz: the introduction of (what constitutes our
present only circulating medium, and which I apprehend
will be our only circulating medium, until after the first
of October next,) the bills of banks in the interior of
our State, the directors of which are too much compos
ed of individuals that know not the necessity of prompt,
ness and punctuality ; and the absurd law of our own j
legislature, requiring all the banks to make an annual!
exhibit ot’ their respective conditions on or up to a cer
tain day. Tins is ray opinion of the present rate of ex
change, and it is not predicated on mere hypothesis, as
any one may discover, that will refer to past seasons.
As much as any person can he, I am interested to have
an equalization of, and uniform rate of exchange, be
tween this and other cities. If, however, we cause it
to bo otherwise, do not let us mislead the public by at
tributing it to causes that have no relevancy.

•• EXCHANGE.”
“ Exchange is now at 3 per cent, premium on the
“North, Charleston and Savannah. This alarming tax
“upon our citizens!, naturally solicits the enquiry, what
“is the cause ?” and whilst some attribute it to one, and
some to another, a certain writer believes “we have
unquestionable evidence” that the United States Bank is
the sole agent of all the mischief.
Without following “Premium” through his long tirade
on the blissful names, by which it has been character
ised, I would join issue with him, upon the fact, that “ it
is so directly the cause of the present high and oppres
sive rate of Exchange.”
The Branch in Savannah commenced in 1817, and
from that year to this, has drawn from the local Banks,
all balances accruing upon weekly settlements, “ either
in com or its equivalent,” and yet it has been just found
out, that the millions drawn in the last tiro years has [
been “ oppression.”
The writer of the article Certainly remembers that
within the last few months, Checks on the North, Sa
vannah. and Charleston, were worth only i per cent, and ■
yet at that time the local Banks were passing weekly;
large balances to that Branch, and if the evil is attributa-f
ble solely to its agency, then why is it' not uniform, and
why did it not commence in 1818, and continue? But to
the writer, these draws seem “ partial, ruinous, and ty.
ranical.” Partial, because in 1830, an agreement was;
entered into, between the United States Bonk in Sa-;
vannah, and the several local Banks, to take in payment'
and deposits the bills of every chartered Bank in the,
State, (those of Columbus excepted,) and that this agree- j
meat was first broken by the “Marine and Fire Inaur-’
ance B mk, Savannah.” “ Ruinous ,” because “ the conn- 1
try has overtraded and the Branch requires those near
est her to assist in paying the balance. And “ Tyrani
calbecause she claims her just rights, which accrue in
the Exchange of her currency, or in the payment of Cus
tom House Bonds.
The Bank could not think of “ gn ndmg the local insti
tutions of Augusta to the dust,” and “by producing pe
cuniary dis'ress, thus induce the citizans of this place to
1 ’ask for “the very evil they already so greatly deprecate.
But let us i ’.quire if the origin oi this mat r, may not
be traced nearer home, and whether the present •* ruin,
jous system” of our local Banks, have nut contributed
. !largely to its continuance. It is the triu policy o* e ch
1 \ B mk to pay out nothing but its own paper, and when this
j comes back upon them, to meet it by the currency oi
j!another. By this means a proper proportion of each is
. ■ iretained in the country. But what is the fact it pre-ent ?
our Banks have scarcely in circulation bids to ;bc actual
, amount of the specie in their vaults, and yet Savannah
i funds are wanted, and must be had, and now are they to
. ;be supplied ? by retaining the bills of the interior Banks
: : —circulating their own, most of which, will at firs: go to
.11 Savannah, but can be redeemed by calling upon the
, I!other Banks to bo::r their proportion, and thus equalize
jithe burthen we have now to sustain alone.
:j Whilst the present policy is pursued here, our bills
! must be greatly appreciated, and consequently become
• n article ot brokerage; therefore, instead of circulating
I they give pl ace to a depreciated currency, which affords
the necessary facilities of commerce in the interior, so
long as the Banks issuing, can sustain a credit,
i Says the writer, “it is the business of the United;
i.States Branch, to do this; because they receive alt the
■-benefit of the Exchange.” If this was the fact, it cer
tainly would be a good argument for the assertion; but
everyone knows the reverse to be true, and that it is on-;
ly when in the common course of trade remittances in
money, instead of produce, are made from the country
to this place, and hence through Savannah to the North,
that the evil is so much felt or feared. The lute estab
ment of so many Banks in the interior, must cause a
greater diversity of currency than has ever existed be
fore, and as the wants of the country require only a cer
tain quantity of money, every dollar over this, is a re
dundancy, and either becomes the representative of a
fictitious value to property, or is exported; if, therefore,
the Banks in Augusta could furnish the requisite circu
lation for this state, they are prevented by a portion of
that amount being supplied from abroad, and instead of
requiring the U. S. Bank “ to shut up shop,” we had best
drive out other circulations by substituting our own, and
thus require others to share with us the burthen of
furnishing exchange.
“ Trade, undisturbed, will regulate exchange,” and
with the admission, “ that our imports have exceeded
our exports,” we need go no further for the cause of the
present high rate. But the writer is mistaken when he
supposes, that if the U. S, Bank would “ shut up shop,
the local Banks and Brokers would always keep ex;
■■ change at a reasonable rate.”
The sin of our Banks, without this check, is overtrad
ing, and the specie operations of the last two weeks
clearly proves what would be our fate, if left to the mer
cy of exchange brokers.
Our Banks, by bad poliry, have caused their issues to
be appreciated, and until they remedy the evil, they de-1
serve the consequences ; but it becomes a matter of great
regret that the merchants—their customers —are made
to sutler for their folly. JUNIUS.

Murder. —We have to record a transaction unusual in
our section of country—-the perpetration of a most cruel
and wanton murder! John Puryear, a planter, living a- ,
bout a mile from this pi ice, shot his overseer on Wed
nesday last. It seems that Puryear, when in- his cups,
was in the habit of abusing his Emily, and that his over,
seer, named M ay, an inoffensive man, hftd been in the |
habit of interfering on such occasions.—On the day of
his death, May, on returning to the house, perhaps for i
his dinner, found his employer intoxicated, and abusing ’
his family—he interfered as usual, spoke to Puryear,
begged him to desist, and told him that it was ashame
for him to act so—Puryear asked him “ if he took it i
up?”—stepped into the house—took down his rifle, and
deliberately shot him dead.
May has left a wife and 7 or 3 small 'ffu’ffren without i
a single bequest, save that ot the cold charity o' t.ie I
world. Puryear was, on the evidence of his own dough- j
ter, committed to prison, where he now awaits the i
stern justice of the law. —Southern Banner.
