CONGRESS—CHEROKEE INDIANS.
In copying (rom the Globe a sketch of the de-
I hale in the Senate and House of Representatives,
I May 22, on the message of the President in rela
■ lion to the removal of the Cherokee Indians to the
I West, we are enabled to give only the remarks of
I our own members, and those of a few other tnetn

SENA TE.
Mr. LUMPKIN stood on rather different
I grounds in relation to this subject from most per-
I sons. From lime to time lie had been conferred
I with in bis official station by the Executive of
■ the country. He had communed with the pre-
I sent and late President in relation to this affair.
■ He had never entertained hut one opinion, and
was to execute with fidelity the late treaty.
L. said he was aware that many of the In-
were opposed to it, and he thought them
Hfionest in their views. The Executive wasdis.
to treat them with kindness and humani-
Hty; and he was persuaded that the most liberal
were indulged towards these unfortu*
■ale people. The Government wished some*
done to soothe them, and allay tiicir exci-
feelings. Mr. E. would say to them firmly,
Hut imperatively, "the treaty must he executed!"
I It might be due to the Secretary of War, said
■r. L., to state, that he [ Mr. E.J had U*«*n con-

ofthc Surveyor General of his State, and
a Tier, Ins lerryman; all who h murders

Slate was concerned, there would be no coin.
Mi. E. contended that the counte*

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. OWENS called for the reading of the
accompanying documents which being done,
Mr. BELL moved the reference of the whole
to a Committee on the Union, and that they be
printed.
On motion of Mr. CAMBRELENG, the
House passed to the orders of the day.
After so.no conversation hot weed Mr. EVE.

whom slating that the above papers involved a

Mr. GLASCOCK moved a vote of rcconside.
ration, so as to refer them to the Committee on
Indian Affairs, and gave his reasons therefor.
Mr. HAYNES was in favor ofthc latter re
fcrencc.
Mr. EVERETT advocated a reference to the
Committee of Ways and Means.
Mr. HOWARD preferred the original refer
ence to the C ommittee on the Union, inasmuch j
as the subject was already before that body, on
the amendments to the bill to prevent and sup
press Indian hostilities.
Mr. HOLSEY a< Ivocated the reference to the
Indian Committee, for he could not consent to
embarrass the above bill by bringing on a pro
tracted discussion i.pon the validity of the Cher
okce treaty. Mr. H. apprehended hostilities,
and alluded to a murder that had already taken
place.
Mr. REED insisted that the reference already
made was the proper one, and he moved to lay
the motion to reconsider on the table.
Mr. OWENS expressed a hope that the gen
tleman would not press that motion.
Mr. HOLSEY asked for the yeas and nays,
but they were not ordered, and the motion was
rejected—aves 65, noes 68.
Mr. HELL knew nothing to he gained by the
reference ofthc subject to the Committee on In
dian Affairs, for there was not the slightest
ground to believe that that committee would
bring in any proposition. They would do noth
ing, but say “hands off*.” He was sorry the
murder had been alluded to, lor there were no
lads to show that it evinced a determination on
the part ofthc Indians to commence hostilities.
As to voting money, Mr. 11. was willing to vole
all that was now and would ho nee- ssary, even
to-day if it was thought expedient; but it would
be useless to refer it to the Committee on ludi.
an Affairs, as the Committee of the Whole on
the slate ot the Union must eventually act upon
it.
Mr. CAMBRELENG adverted to flic im
portaucc ot the President’s communication, i
which contained several distinct propositions,
all of which came within the province of the
standing Committee on Indian Affairs to inquire
into, and gave other reasons for giving the sub
ject that direction.
Mr. CUSHING expressed himself willing to
yield the floor on the Northwest boundary ques
tion to goon with the Indian hostility hill.
The motion to reconsider was then agreed to
—ayes 73, noes 63.
The question then again recurring on the
commitment to the Committee of the Whole on
the stale of the Union, it was decided in tlieneg
alive, by tellers—ayes 7*, ones 81.
On sending it to the Committee on Indian
Affairs,
Mr. EVERETT moved to add the following
instructions:
“Ami that said committee have power to send
tor persons and papers.**
Mr. DAWSON assured all parties that if they
expected lo make any thing politically out of
this question they were very imieli mistaken.
Where could he (lie necessity, or what good
could result out of sending for persons ami pa
peis to investigate the validity of a treaty long
since ratified and confirmed? What! were they
to suffer John Ross lo arrest and change the
whole action of this Government? Mr. D. had
labored day and night lo bring this man to a rea
sonable proposit ion, hut he had no sooner suc
ceeded than io an hour afterwards he withdrew,
or changed his opinion.
Mr. I), said the only proper course for the
House lo pursue was lo disobey and disregard
the President’s recommendations, which were
in effect lo declare war against the people of
Georgia. He, therefore, moved lo lay the whole
subject on the table, hut withdrew that motion
at (lie request of
Mr. WISE, who hoped this communication
would he considered, and said he would pay the
first compliment to the President he had ever
paid in his life, for his propositions were a virtu
al acknowledgment that the pretended treaty
was no treaty, as Mr. W. had often before al
leged. Hu rejoiced that the Executive ofthc
United Stales had at Inst signified a wish to do
justice to the Cherokecs. Mr. W. pursuant to
his pledge lo Mr. Dawson, renewed that gentle
man’s motion to lay the whole subject On the
table, hut withdrew it by his assent.
Mr. GLASCOCK addressed the House with
earnestness, insisting on the obligation of the
treaty of 1835, and the sacrednessof the vested
rights of Georgia under it; the certainty that
her citizens would lake possession of these lands,
and the imminent danger of an Indian war.
Should the Government attempt to overturn that
treaty, Georgia would never he found wanting
to herself,Tis she had once before proved. And
he would say to the gentleman from Virginia,
[Mr. Wise] that his bold threats about eastigat
iitg his Stale into submission, hud no terrors for
him or the people he in part represented. This
was not the fust lime that such threats had been
made against Georgia, growing out of the Indian
treaties; hut she always took her stand, and as
sumed her position under them, and was not to
he forced from it. She ever remained firm, as
she will now, amidst all the calumnies and foul
slanders which have been eagerly circulated to
her injury, and unawed by every attempt ofthosc
who, under the sacred garb of religion and hu
manity, seek to array against her public feeling
and indignat ion.
Sir, said Mr. G., she plants herself upon those
rights secured and guarantied to her under the
treaty of 1835—a treaty solemnly ratified, and
having all the sanctions and requisites required
by the Constitution and now the supreme law of
the land; and such rights, thus secured, gentle
men of all parties might rest assured Georgia at
least would peril her all to maintain and defend.
Independent of this, said Mr. G., a large portion
of his constituents had rights vested in them un
der this treaty, and by special enactments of their
own Legislature—rights lo the possession and
occupancy of their lands; and they, too, stand
ready lo resist, “even unto death,” all encroach,
incuts upon them, coming from what quarter
they may. And he could assure the gentleman
from Virginia, that if such contests should ever
be made nec ssary, however unequal and un
pleasant, they would never falter. They had
the firmness and courage, on the one hand, lo
maintain their own rights under the treaty; and,
on the Ollier, the m agnanimity lo protect and
defend the Indians in theirs. Sir, they stand
upon the treaty; and all they ask at the hands
of the Government is a speedy enforcement of
its provisions. They now ask it through their
representatives, and they have a right lo ex
peel it.
[We hope to furnish Mr. G.’s remarks at
length in a few days, as well as those ol other
gentlemen.— Globe.]
Mr. ATHERTON then rose and demanded
the previous question, as it was apparent that a
orotractcd discussion was growing out of this
preliminary motion of reference.
Mr. OWEN*S hoped the gentleman would
withdraw that motion, and permit the question
lo he taken on laying the subject on the table.
After some conversation between the CHAIR
and Messrs. WISE and McKAY, as lo the read
ing ofthc papers again*
Mr. OWENS moved to lay the subject on the
table, and called for the yeas and nays, which,
being ordered, were, yeas 39, nays 113, —so the
motion lo lay on the table was decided in the
negative.
The question recurring on the demand for the
previous question,
Mr. MONTGOMERY said he hoped this sub
jeet would be settled, temporarily at least, with
out further excitement; and he appealed lo his
friend from New Hampshire to withdraw his mo
tion for the previous question, to enable Mr. M.
to move its postponement for one week.
Mr. ATHERTON not assenting to the re
quest, the House passed between the tellers, and
seconded the previous question—7B to 53; so the
main mieslion was ordered, put, and agreed to.
So the subject was referred to the Committee
on Indian Affairs.
IN SENATE .
Wednesday, May 23, 1838.
A message was received from the President of
the United States, by Mr. Abraham Van Buren,
his private secretary, as follows ;
To the Senate of the United States:
I herewith transmit to the Senate the copy of
a letter addressed to me on the 38th ultimo, by
the Governor of Maine, enclosing several re
solves ofthc Legislature oft hat Stale, and claim
ing reimbursement for the General Government
of certain moneys paid lo Ebcnczcr S. Greely,
John Baker, and others, in compensation for
losses and sufferings experienced by them res
pcctively, under circumstances mure fully ex
plained in his Excellency's letter.
In the absence of any authority on the part of
the Executive lo satisfy these claims, they arc
now submitted lo Congress for consideration;
and I deem it proper, at the same time, with re
ference to the observations contained in Govern,
or Kent’s note, above mentioned, to coinniuni
catc to the Senate copies of other papers con
nected with the subject ot* the northeastern boun.
dary of the United States, which, with the docu.
incuts already made public, will show the actual
stale of the negotiations with Great Britain on
the general question. M. VAN BUREN.

[ The following important papers are among

Department of State, )
Washington , April 27, IH3B. \
The undersigned. Secretary of State of the
United States, has the honor, by the direction
of the President, to communicate to Mr. Fox,
her Britanie Majesty’s Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary, the result of the appli
cation of the General Government to the Stale
of Maine, on the subject of the North-Eastern
Boundary Line, and the resolution which the
President lias formed upon a careful considera
tion thereof. By the accompanying papers, re
ceived from the Executive of Maine, Mr. Fox
will perceive that Maine declines to give consent
to the negocialion for a conventional boundary;
is disinclined lo the reference of the points in
dispute lo a new arbitration; hut yet is firmly
persuaded tiiat the lino described in the treaty
of 1783 can be found and traced whenever the
Governments of the United States and Great
Britain shall proceed to main* the leqnisitc in
vestigations, vvilli a predisposition to effect that
very desirable object. Confidently relying, as
the President does, upon the assurances fre
quently repeated by the British Government of
the earnest desire lo reach that result, if it is
practicable, he lias instructed (he undersigned
to announce to Mr. Fox the willingness of this
Government to enter into any arrangement with
Great Britain for the establishment of a joint
commission of survey and exploration upon the
basis of the original American proposition, and
the modifications offered by her Majesty’s Go
vermnent.
The Secretary of State is, therefore, author
ized lo invite Mr. Fox to a conference upon the
subject at as early a day as his convenience will
permit; and the undersigned will he immediately
furnished with a requisite full power, by the
President, to conclude a convention embracing
that object, if her Majesty’s Minister is duly ein
powered to proceed to the negociation of it on
tin; part of Great Britain.
The undersigned avails himslf of (his occn
sion to renew lo Mr. Fox the expression of his
distinguished consideration.

may he furnished to me, or such oilier steps ta

appear to her Majesty’s Government to require.

the assurances of my high respect and conside
ration. 11. S. FOX,.
The Hon. John Forsyth, Ac.
'I he letter and accompanying documents ha
ving been read, were, on motion of Mr. WEB
STER, ordered to be printed.
Extract of a letters ram the Washington correspon
dent of the Charleston Mercury, dated May 23.
On motion of Mr. Famhreleng, the House went
into Committee* on the Bill making appropriations
to prevent and suppress Indian hostilities, for the
year 1838.
This Bill looks both to the Florida nnd a Uhcro.
kec war. The question was on Mr. Bell's motion
lo amend Ly adding the following;
Provided,That if the President shall ascertain
that all dissatisfaction and further opposition on if e
part of any portion of the Cherokee Indians io the
Treaty of 1835, can be allayed or avoided by allow
ing an additional compensation for lands ceded to
the United Slates by said Treaty, and he is hereby
authorized lo apply two millions of dollars of the
sum Rppronriateu by this Act lo that object.
A very long, and of course, pretty warm debate
followed on this subject. The validity of the Treaty
of New Echota, was the main object of discnsHon.
The Georgia members contended that whatever
fraud or bribery or corruption or hardships there
was about it, i* was all attributable to iho Govern
ment of the United Stales, Georgia having had
nothing to do with making the Treaty, but having
the rigTil lo the land occupied by the Indians, under
stipulations entered into with Georgia by the Gov
ernment. They said that Georgia, if iho United
Slates refused lo carry the Treaty into effect,
would he compelled to take the suineground w hich
she had once before occupied in regard to (he Gov
ernment of the Union They distinctly menaced
“Nullification ns the rightful remedy.”
Mr. Towns said, the proposed interference might
very well have been made twelve months ago, hut
it was now 100 lale. It would now only lead to
bloodshed.
Mr. Wise spoke, at great length, on iho subject,
his chief object being to shew dial the Treaty of
1835 made at New Echota, was fraudulent; lhal
it was made with less than one hundred of iho
tribe; that the mass of the nation were unanimous
ly nnd irreconcilably opposed lo it, because they
did not make it; and that in the words of Mr.
Brown, the Government Agent, “they would ne
ver agree that a band of traitors should sell their
country and determine the destinies ot ilieir peo
ple.” lie commended the interposition of the
Executive, and declared lhal it would now he
found that the Georgians were Van Huron men in
proportion to their interest in iho (Jherokco lands,
and that Van Buren would lose thousands of voles
there by this step, though ho ought not lo lose one.
The Committee rose, nnd the House adjourned
without inking any question.

PLANTERS, MERCHANTS AND RANKS.
Mr. (witieu •'
I Imvo noticed ever nine© the hanks suspended
specie payments, that you have copied every
thing into your paper which has been written for
the purpose of showing that merchants had over
traded—that banks bad issued more paper than they
should have done—that all the trouble in (be coun
try was owing to the mismanagement of the mer
chants and banks, and that the planters and the la
boring classes were the only sufferers. Von are
not alone in this, however, for nil the papers of
your party, and latterly all who lm\e espoused the
cause of Mr. Calhoun, do the same. Now, Sir, ns
I think that both the merchants and hanks suffer
by the erroneous views of this subject, which have
been circulated, allow me to give you whflt I be
lieve to hen plain statement of the case. Rut in
order that I may speak of “that which 1 do know,”
I shall confine my remarks, at present, to the
Southern and South-Western Slates And furth
er, let me premise, that 1 am fully aware that there
are rich planters all over the country, who are mo
ney lenders, not money borrowers. My remarks,
it is evident, cannot he intended for them, and are
only applicable to those in moderate circumstances,
who nre industrious, and seek to hotter their con
dition by every means in their power.
Wo see then that planters are indebted to mer
chants, and merchants to banks, and hanks again to
both, in the amount of their circulation. Now, Mr.
Editor, let us trace how this indebtedness occurs.
Let us take a single merchant, nnd examine the
course of his business, nnd it will give ns a definite
idea of others placed in like circumstances. Let
us suppose n person who has acquired a knowledge
of business, ami has a good acquaintance among
the and country merchants—ho com
mences, soy, rt grocery business, on a capital of
S2O 000. lie invents his money in articles suitable
to his business, in the (ii»T^* r ®nl markets where they
can be bought the cheapest. U® then commences
and disposes of the greater pm't **' H H *°ek, n
small portion for cash, hut the greati.** 1 V nrt on n
credit to his acquaintances, the country im..’^ mn,s
nnd planters, lie must then buy again, to rC|?‘ cn “
ish his stock. The cash ho has received will p ny
for flour, salt, Ac., which ran only ho bought ad
vantageously for cash- West India produce, and a
great many other articles, can only he bought from
importers, nt fair rates, on short time ; sny, sixty
days, and four months; and iron, nnd 0 few other
articles,nt six months. lie replenishes his stock
on these terms, nnd sells them as he did the first.
Now suppose these operations repented alternn.
lively a few limes, and it is evident that the mer
chant, (ns lie has credited the amount of his capi
tal, and also goods which he has bought on a credit,
and for which ho has to pay on a particular day,)
must make collections from hii customers as punc
tually as ho is roquired to make payments. Well,
he sots about collecting in good earnest. He writes
to those planters whose ncconnls nre of longest
standing on his hooks, and reminds the country
merchants that his claims on them nre past due.
Some respond to Ids call by a remittance of the
needful, either in full or in part payment of his ac
counts agains* them. Others had n more pressing
demand against them, or had bought some land
that lay convenient—some negroes nt Sheriff's
sale, Ac. Ac.—country merchants had not been
able to collect as they expected—had produce on
hand, but thought the present a hud time to sell it
—had to pay some acceptances through hank, for
goods bought at ilia north, Ac.
Reing disappointed in making collections in lime,
to the amount required, to meet his payments, lie is
driven to the necessity of trying his credit in an
other way, rather than press his customers too
hard. Ry the aid of a friend, who indorses his
note, he obtains a loan from bonk sufficient for his
present wants. Ho continues business, however,
soon finds that another loan is necessary, nnd an
other, and another. It has passed into a maxim that
no prudent merchant will trade beyond three times
the amount of his capita). We will suppose our
merchant adhered to this rule strictly; and that
having approached these hounds, lie curtailed
his business sofliciently to keep it within them.
Now, Mr. Editor, it is qyident that all who sell
goods to (he country, on a credit, whether dry
goods, hats, shoes,clothing, drugs, hardware, Ac.,
are similarly situated, to the merchant described
above.
But there is another way through which capital
finds its way to the country. I’lanters and mer
chants, residing in the interior, have (lo ir agents in
the markets where they send their produce for sale.
These agents are denominated factors, or commis
sion merchants. They receive produce ns it comes
to market; sell it, and return the proceeds; or put
it in store, for sale at a future period, ns instructed
by their principals. If produce is received into
store, it is customary to make a cash advance on
it, if required, to the amount of one half or three
fourths of its value. The greater pari of this mo
ney is borrowed from the banks, and thus planters
are enabled to pay a portion of their debts, nnd
still hold their produce for n more favorable lime to
dispose of it. Nor is this nil. If a planter wants
money beyond the value of his present crop, it is
no uncommon thing for him to draw on his factor,
and got the drafts discounted; nnd thus anticipate
I lie proceeds of his coining crop. This kind of
business, however, has not horn done to any thing
like the extent, in Into years, in the southern At
lantic slates, that it was formerly. The great
speculation in 11125 made the planters anxious to
hold on ns long as possible to their crops, in the
hope that there might ho another such rise. From
1827 to *3l,this system was carried to its greatest
height, hut the low price of produce during this pe
riod, caused a great many failures among tho fac
tors, who had advanced more than the articles in
hand would bring; or who had accepted with the
expectation of receiving produce nt a future lime.
Since 1831 advances have been made much more
prudently, and to a much smaller extent; nnd to
this fact, I attribute, in a great measure, the com
parative case with which this section of country
has passed through the late revulsion.
The (iulf Stales had this lesson to Icnrn; nnd the
late revulsion caught them at a lime when almost
the whole capital, all that could he obtained on
credit, had been thrown into the hands of this
planting interest. Lands nnd negroes were bought
and paid for, by drafts on factors ; ond it was cal
culated that tho credit of the parties, together with
the properly on which tho transaction was based,
would enable them to renew these drafts, till the
i products raised should enable the planter to pay
the debt. It may bo said, however, that the mer
chant is as much henefitted by this operation as the
planter. Let us examine a single transaction.
A planter who has a good plantation in Louisiana
or Mississippi, and, say, 20 negroes, goes to New
Orleans. Ho represents to his factor that he has
some fine lands lying idle and unproductive for
want of hands to work it. He also states that he
has seen ten negroes that ho would like to buy.—
I he factor accepts his draft at 12 month, nnd the
money is raised on the credit of this paper. He
buys the negroes, for which he pays, say, $15,000.
He sets them to raising Cotton. They average 8
bales to the hand, of 400 lbs each, worth 15 cents
per lb., or 94800. The factor gets 24 per cent, for
accepting the draft of $15,000, or $375.
The merchant uses capital in several ways. If
he buy mi article on speculation, to hold it for a
rise in price; or a house and lot—a ship, or any
other article, out of the regular line of his business ,
and borrow money to pay for it, he uses capital.—
1 he merchants, however, generally, borrow from
hunks, and, therefore, as (hey own a very large
portion of all the hunk stock, it is like borrowing
from themselves. Manufacturers nnd tradesmen
ore generally borrowers of capital, but their num
ber is so small, in the southern country, 1 shall pass
them
Now, sir, having shown who uses capital, let us
next consider tho nature of this capital and see of
what it consists. All merchandize furnished on a
credit, is so much actual capital; because ii is the
product of labor, and because it must have been
paid for in gold or silver, or an equivalent in the
shape of hills of exchange, founded on sales of pro
duce in other markets. But, after the hanks had
used all their capital in affording facilities to mer
chants to enable them to pay for goods, a,c., they,
in their turn, had to resort to a use of credit. When
a merchant, therefore, who buys produce from
planters, sells a hill of exchange on some foreign
place, to a hank, against the proceeds of his pre
duee, the bank pays him fur his bill of exchange in
its own notes, or promises to pay on demand.—
1 hese hank hills the merchant pays to the planter
for his produce. The planter carries them home
ond pays a debt to his neighbor with them. He
uses them to pay for something he has purchased,
and so they pass from hand to hand, till they are
paid to a merchant who owes a debt to a hank, or a
debt abroad, to pay which he lias to obtain ex
change from a hank; and the hank is enabled to
furnish this exchange, because it had previously
bought it from another merchant as staled above.
This is what is termed circulation.
And here, sir, let us examine what 1 conceive to
he a fallacy, although it has obtained very general
credence. I allude to the assertion, that the bonks
ini ike moon/, and the borrowers (especially tho plant
ers,) lose it by this mode of doing business; inas
much as tho hank receives interest on its promises
to pay, while all individuals, w ho owe, have to pay
interest on their promises to pay. Now, sir, it is
evident to me, that the hank may gain, without the
individual losing any thing: for if the bank hills arc
convertible into, or at par, with specie, they will
pay as much of his debt, or buy as much commo
dities, as the specie itself. Rut planters are hene
fitled in another way; for if they obtain u loan of
capital, either in the form of goods or as an advance
on produce, at 8 per cent., they get the use of it
cheaper than they could do otherwise. If money
wore so plenty in the country, that a person could
always borrow on good security, at legal interest,
then there would he no benefit to a plainer in ob
taining loans in town, either in the shape of goods
or advances. We know however, that, notwith
standing the immense sums which are obtained in
this way, money cun ho lent at from Ifi to 25 per
cent, in tho country.
Other views might he taken of this subject; hut
enough has been said to shcw,f/<(i/ planters are more
benefited by the use. of borrowed capital , and use more
of it, than any other class , and should, therefore, he
more anxious to sustain sound hanking institutions,
than any others; as it is by their use they arc en
abled to obtain a large amount of these loans.—
Ranks are benefit ted by the amount ofinterest they
receive on their circulation, after deducting interest
on specie, *uu\ specie funds, kcptfoi the purpose of
redeeming their hills instead of specie; and also the
salary of officers, and other expenses. Rut the
community do not lose this amount; for if you take
the circulation of hanks out of the amount o‘‘ float
ing capital, you make it scarcer, nnd of course, the
uto pHt dearer. TYRO.

Messrs. Kditors; —Jl is now about twelve months
since our citizens played a ridiculous farce, by
calling a town meeting for ike alleged purpose of
recommending the banks to suspend specie pay
ments, a course our hunks had already resolved
on adopting, whether recommended or not. The
reason then alleged for so doing, was, that the
hanks north of us had already suspended, in conse
quence of the panic then existing; the liL h rate of
foreign exchange, ond their consequent inability to
meet the demands against, them. No one denies
that such a course was then advisable, hut since
that time there has been a material change. We
have, from necessity or voluntarily, been very
economical; we have imported hut little, in compa
rison with former seasons, and exported as much
or more than we ever did before, and as a natural
consequence, the balance of trade is now in our fa
vor, ami foreign exchange, instead of being against
us, as it usually has been, is now at a discount or
tit least not exceeding par. The New York Ranks,
more honest than most others, now that the causes
of suspension no longer exist, have again resumed,
nnd as those causes, and those only, were alleged
ns a reason for our hanks suspending, what now
prevents them from again resuming? There is no
doubt but that they con resume, if they would.—
This being the case, I would ask, if it is honest to
decline doing so? Or, can it ho expected, that the
people who create them, will sustain Institutions
that nre able and will not meet tho just demands
against them? No,—there is n feeling now growing
up,—a loco Toco feeling, if you choose to call it, —
that may call them to an account, when they may
he ill-prepared to render it. Whol the creator form

Messrs. Guie.u \ Thompson.
Will some of your numerous correspondents ex
plain to me, how the lale Rank Convention ot
(’liarlesien, in its report, dared to assort, that “the
exigencies of the community rather than the ina
bility of lii© hanks” induced the suspension of spe
cie payments? I had always thought the fact was
the other way; and that the public meeting here,
composed of Rank Presidents, Rank Officers, and
Rank Stockholders, and other disinterest! d person*'
was called to authorize Mich a measure on the part
of the Ranks, and not to beg them to do so, in
mercy tons poor devils of citizens, who have not
the privilege of making and issuing earl loads
of rags in the shape of “promises to pay.” They
now pretend, that the community could not find
enough of their rags to pay their notes in Rank,
when the superabundance in the hands of the
public was precisely what the Ranks dreaded, ami
which would render them worthless but for the in
dulgence asked. Why could I not pay my note
in Rank I When it was put there, either by myself
or others, it sent out into the community the same
amount in rag money. Tim Ranks dare not refuse
their own hills in payment. Why, then, could I
not pay my note when due? Resides, if J sold my
properly, it would bring me a great price In this de
preciated currency, rendered so by the extravagant
issues, making it certain that the hills could not ho
redeemed by any thing intrinsically valuable. Al
low me, therefore, to say, contrary to the doctrine
of tho convention, that tho Ranks wore at the
mercy of the community, and not the community
at the mercy of the Rank, and so the Ranks will
find it, if they arc not prudent. Indeed, such a
pretence os that set up by tho Convention is nu
insultlothe community, who have so generously
borne all the real evils,and risked those in pros
pect, to excuse what their monied, or rather money
loss institutions had represented as indispensable
to their solvent existence, and now turn round nnd
most impudently assert in the face of all truth and
decency, that they did it for our benefit! Indeed,
Ranks nre becoming most wonderfully public spir
ited and disinterested! Mr. Riddle’s Rank, for in
stance, a Pluto Rank, has most kindly taken the
commercial prosperity of this wltole Union under
his protection, nobly disdaining to think for a mo
ment of the paltry interests of a few insignificant
stockholders! What a glorious country we have!
The very Banks have changed their harpy natures
in this republican climate, and watch and pray for
t c salvationof the land! How profoundly grate
ful wo should bo!
But let the Legislature trust them no longer.
1 hey now think they will resume on the Ist Janu
ary next. But it is easy to resolve to do so and
that unanimously tou, and not do it at Inst. Perhaps
this very unanimity was produced by the facility
of disregarding such resolve, for goo,land sufficient
reasons. Let the Legislature pin them to it or nail
them, like their ha c paper, to the counter. Com
pel them to respond to their promises—that at
Charleston, as well ns certain others which they
have been in the habit of disregarding. Public
opinion and feeling arc ripe fur it. Legislators, do
your duty.
It might bo well for the public to be thinking of
ngeneral Banking law, something like that of‘New
York, as a chock upon the evils of Monopolies.

Augusta mid Hamburg Market, May 31.
COTTON.—Our market lias been rather dull
than otherwise for the last week. The latest ac
counts l % <mi Liverpool have brightened a little the
laces of our speculators, without however, leading
them to enter the market with animation, being
under the impression that no dependence con he
placed on a permanent market in Europe, and that
prices will fluctuate moro tlmn over. Tho dciniuiil
in this market has been mostly confined to good
qualities, which are scarce, while the common
qualities are neglected and dull of sale. We have
to report the sale of only 1335 hales, from ware
houses, since our last review, ns follows : .*1 hales at
7,7 at 7?, 52 at H, Ifi nl H}, 20 at Hi, 1(18 at Hi, H 2 at

We quote extreme prices at 7 to 101 cents.

By the ship Carroll of Carrollton, Capt. Ihrd,wo
have received Liverpool papers of the 27th ultimo.
We find no later political intelligence, and therefore
confine ourselves to exiraeting the following slate
ofthe Liverpool Colton Morket :

are, 4 vessels from New York, 2 from New Or

Egypt
LIVERPOOL, April 27.— Cotton —Hinro the23d
instant, we have had better Recounts of the Man
chester Market, which has given increased firm
ness to otir Market, and we have had a shod extent
ol business done. The sale of the last three days
are about 15,000 hales at some advance in prices,
particularly in the middling qualities, but barely
id generally. We consider the business to have
been at LI. a id. above the lowest point of the
market eight or nine days since. There was ra
ther more offering yesterday, and the demand was
freely supplied. We have a fair moderate inquiry
this morning.
MANCHESTER, 25th April.—There was a de
cided appearance of improvement in our market
yesterday. The demand for yarns, and for most
descriptions of printing cloths, was bolter than for
some weeks past, and a trifling advance on pre
vious rules was in some cases realized The gene
ral opinion appeared to he, that prices have at
length seen their lowest, and there was, conse
quently, a much more healthy feeling than has pre
vailed for some considerable time.
NEW ORLEANS, May 2fi.—There isnogreat de

Colton. —The accounts from Liverpool, together
with the general opinion that the crop will reach
to about 1,800.000 hales have caused buyers to with
draw from the market almost entirely, which the
limited amount of sales will show, lower prices
than those of last week have been accepted by
about I cent, per pound for the small lots sold, hut
we do not alt er our quotations. The large holders
do not press their stock on the market, and do not
seem willing to submit to any material reduction
in price. The sales of the week amount to about
3,000 hales, JOOOof which were bought yesterday.
The Exports ore 573,100 hales, against 400.H05 to
the same period least season, making an excess of
73,505 hales.
