The legislature met at Concord, on the 21st of last

Governor Dmsmore.
“ Before closing this communication, I cannot
forbear adverting to a subject which deeply con
cerns all who feel interested in preserving and
perpetuating our institutions and form of gov
eminent.
“No one accustomed to watch with any de
li roe of attention the course of public affairs, can
have been an indifferent observer of the pro
gress of certain new and dangerous opinions in
regard tu the respective powers of the General
und Stale Government, which havA been grad
u illy spreading until they have unhappily placed
one of the members of our confederacy in an
altitude of hostility and almost defiance to the
Union. Wide, and, perhaps, irreconcilable
differences of opinion, have, it is well known,
lung existed in regard to the extent of the pow.
ers conceded to the General Government on the
one hand, and reserved to the individual Stales
on the oilier. Such diversities of sentiments are
unavoidable, and whey temperately indulged
give no cause of alarm; hut when we see the
pretension unequivocally avowed, that the Leg
islature of a single State has the right to abro
gate at will, anv act of the Congress of the U.
r* 7 * v ,
States, there is enough to awaken the most anxt
ous solicitude of every lover of his country.
“ Whateversen.se of injustice or oppression
may have given birth to these pretensions, their
tendency, il successfully asserted, cannot be dis
guised. To deny to the General Government
the [lowers obviously indispensable to its exis
leuce, must infallibly lead to its dissolution. A
gainst such doctrines, it is our duty to protest,
however gladly we might sec the causes ul dis
satisfaction which produced them removed. A
just liberality towards our fellow citizens of the
South, while struggling to secure the equitable
opera.ion <>f the laws of the General Govern

ral sympathy in their sufferings, while legiti
mately seeking relief in away recognized by
the authorities of the land; ora charitable al
lowance for the excesses of an ardent tempera

never require* of us to countenance or sanction
measures which are directly subversive of the
principles which hold our confederacy to

rOR THE GEORGIA CONSTITUTIONALIST.
Honorable McCormick Neal, —Sir, —I have
just read your speech, as published in the lie
cooler ol the fit h of December :
Is il not very surprising that Ryan and his co
workers should conjure up such a thing as them
Resolutions to defeat the wish of the people ?
Yes, the whole peopl o, all but about one half, and
seventy thousand oeer. lie ought to have known
better than to take this demagogical move
ment to usurp the people’s rights. But his copia
verhorum, pro hoc rice, will not stop the vox po
pu/i, I can tell him. No, not if he makes his
resolu ions and plan ashing again. He thinks
we are all fools, and we have been after him so
long, we are getting m the dark. But your
speech will fix the old fellow. But were you
not afraid to talk so about them seceders ? Why,
that Oliver, from Lee, somebody told me, bit off
a dog’s ear at one snap, and 1 know he can play
the fiddle like two hundred. Ryan and Bates
thinks to denounce S. Carolina, that pink of |>ie
iv and light of wisdom, whose very consistency,
all the time, ought to have made him known bet
ter. They know how to put down such fellows
as Smith and Cheves, and all these Rvan’s,Cum
mmg’s.Crawlord s,Cuthliert sA\ dde s; old Ritch
ie,of the Enquirer, Barbers, and that foolish
Governor of Alabama, with a great many more
such submissionis's. Now this S. Convention,
I cannot tell so well about, I wish you had giv
en us your view of L ncle Sam’s Constitution
about it.
Has the people, all the people, determined to
take up this Tariff matter since our Convention
adjourned, or is it them same folks that made
the Convention ?—O, 1 understand now, we
Nidhtiers are the folks, the rest are no-body.
Yes. that’s right, now old Guieu may go on with
his calculations. I’ll see whether he makes me
believe no-body's some-body.
i am glad you asked them fellows, Ryan and
Haynes, these questions. Let them deny their
apostaey, and I'll point to chapters, page and
verse, when 1 find it. lam glad you told them
thev had been suspected of apostatizing. For
they have, to all intents and purposes, and I
known it, though there is no proof ol it, except
that thev will not join we Nullifiers.
Now let me tell you; you say old Warren is
vour native county. Ia n glad ol it. Go down
there as soon as you are done in the Legisla
ture, and tell them people Ryan is a fool, has
done wrong, has turned Tariff man, turned a
political summerset. If you do not, old ar
ren will disgrace you by giving Ryan the right
hand of fellow-ship again. And then what a
pitv to have a man disgraced, alter he has been
in the Legislature, made a speech and had it
published in the newspapers to boot.
I'll write t«y«u again if you want me.
Yours, lo command,

the week, the general sales were making at II ce.itu ,
but at the close yesterday, 10$ a 10} were the most uir

market closed without spirit, and prices have sti.. a

CHARLESTON, Dec. 3.— Cotton. — The market
has hcen inactive during the week. Holders are willing
to submit to a further reduction, but the buyers are still
reluctant to come into the market. From the sales that
have been effected of a few hundred bales, it is im.
possible to fix a quotation, or say what decline has been
established. The highest prices given for very choice
lots have been 111 ; 11} 11$; 11} and 11. There have
been sales of prime lots at lijj, &, we think that a far gen
eral quotation o ti the market may be made at 1U a 11.
The stock is large and accumulating, amounting on yes
terday to between 14.000 and 15,000 bales of Uplands.
No change in long Cottons.
Flour. —There has been a considerable demand this
week for the West India trade, for which about 700
barrels have been taken at current prices. The de
mand is now principally confined to city consumption,
and the best qualities are held at 7} by wholesale, and
7$ by retail.

700 bales New Orleans, at 12} a 13 4 ‘

The transactions for the week past have been mostly
in fine Cottons for home use. The prices before current
have not been supported—in many cases sellers have
lowered their pretensions }to $ per lb. We have re
ceived accounts from Liverpool per ship Ajax, to Oct.
22d. That market was not active, and former rates
hardly supported. Sales the preceding week anv. unted
to 14,000 bales—Uplands are quoted at 6$ to cd. stg.

Salt —Coarse descriptions have declined in price, ow

IN the Courier of yesterday, an individual under the
assumed signature of A “stockholder, has attempted
to cast imputations'upon the conduct of the Trustees Ac,
Treasurer of the Eagle Ac. Phtxnix Hotel Company, which
are false and impertinent. But lest his statements might
produce some effect upon the public, " here his motives
and character are misunderstood, I will briefly state, up
on unquestionable authority, Ist. that the original con
tract was paid to the mechanics, even before the comple
tion of the building; and that although some extra work
has since been done on the lot, no demand has ever been
presented against the Company tor immediate settlement,
which has not been promptly paid. 2d. The payment ot
some portion of the demands tor extra work, bv consent ot
all parties, with the most perfect willingness on the part
~f the “mechanics,” was deferred to the limitation of the
present quarter. 3d. The Stockholders were requested
in a public notice, to attend a meeting at the Hotel in
September, to elect Trustees, and examine the affairs ot
the Company, to be exhibited by the secretary and Trea
surer; at which meeting no person attended at the ap
pointed hour; but, in the course ot the morning, palter the
*eCretan- and Treasurer had gone a few individuals did
assemble; to these tew it was suggested that the Trea
surer was desirous ot exhibiting his statements, which
thev declined examining.

The Union Hotel Property
LOTTERY,
W r ILL be drawn in the Court-House at Thomaston,
Upson County, Ga. on the same plan of the Land
and Gold Lotteries, now drawing at Milledgeville. The
property has been valued by four highly distinguished and
disinterested gentlemen, at twenty thousand dollars. —
Forty-nine fiftieth parts of the property consist of Lands,
Lots and Houses, Plantations and Negroes, valued at
9 19,600, and the balance, one-fiftieth part, lotted off into
small prizes of various articles, and valued at >5400.
The proprietor takes pleasure in returning his unfeigned
thunks to his friends and that part of the public who have
encouraged him, for tire liberality already manifested in
the purchase of tickets in said Lottery. The unsold tick
ets are now all placed in the hands of agents in most
of the principal towns and counties in the State. Ho
further solicits a generous and enterprising people to lend
him their aid by buying up the balance oftiie tickets; for
it is only lending fora very short time; it will be paid
back on the 24th of next month, (the day on which the
Lottery will be drawn) 2560 fold !!!
Ye who have a hungering after gain, and ye who are
sitting in the valley and shadow of poverty, fortunes arc
now offered to you: Plantations lor farmers; Houses d;
Lots for merchants; shop and tools for mechanics; amt
Negroes to cultivate the land and wait on the lortun&te ;
—and above all, the Union Hotel, with all its appendages
and attractions, in the centre of tht eastern and western
trade, and in one of the most healthy and beautiful vill
ages in the State, emphatically and verily the Travellcr’s
Rest and the Inn-keeper’s delight—valued at twelve
thousand eight hundred dollars, for the trifle, the un
thingness, of five dollars !!!
A fortune I must have, say you;
Here’s fortune to content a Jew.
She’s not confin’d to Cherokee,
But spends some precious time with me
You miss her in the golden mines—
Still at the Union, see ! she shines!
And lest you catch liie poor man’s rickets,
Make haste to bay toe Union tickets.
Fellow-citizens of Georgia ! upon this subject, alike
interesting to me and you, I might be as eloquent as any
of vonr splendid orators at the late anti-tarifi Convention
at .Milledgeville ; but I will only say, known as you are
for your generosity and enlerprize—buy up the balance
oi the tickets.—A short speech that may be worth a
long advantage to you.
Now, some of you, property in lots may posses*,
But bv advere events may be brought to distress;
And like me, only ask a fair chance, just to pay
Your debts; then buy—buy the balance, I pray.

TO THE STOCK HOLDERS OF THE
r MECHANICS’ B ANK.
) A CTUATED by unenviable motives, three Direc-
A tors of the Mechanics Bank, of this city, published
oq the 6th inat. (December,) a statement accompanied
by a protest against an order rescinding a previous or.
| der for the payment of an instalment of 25 percent. It
is universally conceded, that small Capitals, invested in
Banking Institutions, are wielded more profitably than
large ones ; for this, and other good reaeons, the Board
of Directors of the Mechanics Bank, Resolved, on the
> first day of December, ins r ant, to rescend so much of the
order (passedjon the 17th October, 1332, ) as requires the
payment of 25 per cent, of the Capital stock of this
Bank on the 13th of December, 1332.
•Mechanics Bank,
Augusta, Oct. 17 th, 1832.
AN Instalment of 25 per cent, on the Capital Stock
of this Bank, is required to be paid on or before
the 12th day of December —and a further Instalment of
10 per cent, on or before Friday the 2Sth day ot Decem.
her next, between the hours of 9 and 2 o'clock.
GEO. W. LAMAR, Cashier.
In addition to other reasons, for rescinding such or
der for the payment of the 25 per cent, the Board was
presented with a petition, signed by the owners, and
I representatives of a majority of the whole Stock ; pray
j ing a revocation of the order of the 17th October ; so far
as relates not only to the payment of the 25th per cent,
on the 18th December, 1632, but also, the 10 per cent, on
the 26th December.
To the President and Directors of tht
Mechanics Bank.
By a public notice we observe, that have called in
the residue of Instalment due on the Capital .Shock of the
Bank, over which you preside.
That this measure appeared to you advantageous to
the inslituiiou, and that you were actuated in passing
(lie resolution by motives of the best interest to the
.stockholders, we donot doubt.
However we cannot but differ from you in opinion,
believing that the institution with its present Capital, can
be managed, more to the interest of the Stockholders,
than if the Capital should be increased to the amount you
propose; We would beg leave to call your attention, to
other Banka of larger Capitals in our city, and you will
find on examination, that they .rarely have half the amount •
of their Capital in circulation, and it would be very ques
tionable, whether or not wo slionlk succeed in getting a
large circulation, than we at pre-win have, even in the
event of the Capital being increased to double its present
amount; and if we should not obtain the same ratio of
circulation, we of course could not pay so large an in
terest. With these views ot the subject, we are decided
ly opposed to calling for additional instalments. We by
no means wish to dictate to you, but think as Stock,
holders of tiie Bank, that we have the right to express to
you our opinions, and it they should.on due consideration
accord with yours, we do hope that the orders for culling
in further instalments will be revoked. All of which is
rssyectfully submitted- Very respeefuily.

Previous to the passage of the order of the Ist of Dec.
doubts had been suggested by the protesting members,
relative to the power of the Board to rescind a previous
order for the payment of instalments—this subject to
gether v*th the Charter was submitted to the Attorney
ot the Bank, who returned a written opinion, asserting
the right and power on the part of the Board, acting un.
der the Charter, to pass the said resolution, which opin
ion has been sustained by till other Attorneys since con
sulted, So far its regards that part of the notice rela
live to the forfeiture of Stock, we deem that position en
tirely untenable. Without pretending to enter into any
argument on that subject, it is thought sufficient to state,
that on the 14th day of July, 1832, an order was passed
by the Board to rescind an order lor the payment of 10
per cent, ot the Capital Stock of the bank payable on the
4th day of October, 1832, and that in consequence of
said.revocation no instalment was paid on the above last
mentioned .day : therefore, upon this principle nil the
Stock had already become forfeited. A distinction is
indeed sought to be made between the rescinding of the
order calling in the 10 per cent, in October, and the 25
percent recently rescinded, in consequence of certain
individuals (*one of whom is one of the protesting mein
bers) having paid said 25 per cent, upon a small number
of shares, with the hope of retarding the operations of
the Bank. But by a reference to the books, it will be
perceived, that no such instalments have been incorpora
ted with the Capitala of the Bank, so that there is no
ground for the accusation of attempting to impair or even
diminish the Capital Stock.
The protesting members for the purpose of giving an
assumed dignity to the communication have taken the
liberty ot dating Mechanics Bank.
G. R. ROUNTREE,
ROBT. M‘DONALD,
A. GUMMING,
W. A. MITCHELL.
In explanation on my part I will here state, that up to
the 28rh Nov. last, I advocated the calling in of the
whole ot tile Capital Stock of the Mechanics Bank. A
difference oi o-pinion a< to the .propriety of sucb_a course
existed, some of the Stockholders wishing the limit of
