The legislature met at Concord, on the 21st of last is oath. The following is an extract from the message of 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 ment, by regular constitutional means; —a gene 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 ment, while chastened by a devoted attachment to the Constitution and Union of the States, can never require* of us to countenance or sanction measures which are directly subversive of the principles which hold our confederacy to gether.” 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.

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.

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. Corn. —ls held at 87$ cts. for retail ; and 80 cts. wholesale.

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. per lb. Salt —Coarse descriptions have declined in price, ow ing to heavy importations since our last. 'The only tran saction during the week is 400 tons Marseilles, the price of which lias not transpired.

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.

HULL, Auctioneer. October 15 31 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. Win. .4. Mitchell, Edward Busiin, Musgrove Sg Bustin, G. R. Rowntree, Richard Alien, Robert Dillon, James Iluhburd, Austin R. Gordon, Rob. F. Poe, Trustee, IV . H. Morgan dj- Co, Fielding Bradford , R. 11. Musgrove, E. li. Webster, G. li. Marshall, Luther Roll, John P. Greiner. 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 the 50 per cent, on the Capital Stock to remain, others desirous that the whole should be called in—Therefore, with the sole view to effect a compromise, I voted for rescinding of the order calling for 25 per cent, on the 18th inst.
