PUBLIC MEETING.
In pursuance of previous notice, and a request
f.om a preliminary meeting held at Bark Camp,
the citizens of Burke county assembled in the
Court House, at Waynesboro’, on the 7lh inst.,
for the purpose of appointing Delegates to the
Commercial Convention, to be ItolJcn at Au
gusta, in October next, and to take into conside
ration the present deranged stale of the curren
cy; when JOHN WHITEHEAD, Esq., was
called to the Chair, aud Geo. W. Evans, Esq.,
appointed Secretary.
On motion, it was Resolced , That a Commit,
lee of three be appointed by the Chair, to pre
pare and report Resolutions expressive of the
sense of tins meeting—whereupon, the following
gentlemen were appointed :—Will.a n Bennett,
Esq., Col. T. M. Berrien, and Gen. J. U.
Thomas.
On motion, a committee was appointed to rc
( commend six Delegates to represent the county
of Burke in the Commercial Convention to be
holdcn at Augusta, in October next, with power
to fill any vacancy that may occur in (heir own
body; and upon said recommendation, the
meeting appointed William Bennett, Esq., Dr.
I. I*. Garvin, Col. George Harris, Major M.
Marsh, J. W. Junes, Esq., and Major Elijah
By tie.
The Conmmittce to whom was delegated the
task, offered the following Report and Resolu
tions, winch were read :
Fellow-Citizens: The Committee to whom
was delegated the task of preparing a Report
illustrating the objects of this meeting, believe
that they cannot better discharge tlie duties as
singed them, than by directing your attention
to the following facts:
Ist. It is a fact that the State of Georgia fur
nishes for export, productions amounting to a
.sum of not less than from twelve to flfeen
millions of dollars annually. This is a mini
mum.
3 I. It is a fact that she docs not import, <li
reel Iv, foreign merchandize to an amount ex
ceeding onc-fillh of that sum.
3d. It is a fact that the exchanges on every
country with which she has any commercial re
lations, have been uniformly against her; al
ways to an injurious, and frequently to a ruinous
4th. It is a fact that the producing States,
(among which Georgia occupies no mean rank,)
furnish the capital, upon which rests that sys
tom of credit, for the support of which our peo
ple have long borne the most onerous aud op
pressive burdens.
sth. It is a fact tiiat our finances are in a
stale of extreme disorder; that our facilities are
only to be obtained at ruinous prices, while their
value is uncertain; indeed, it is utterly impossi
ble to make au approximation between the real
value of money, and the convcrtional value of
•such paper as we are now obliged to receive.
The signs of the times are ominous of evil to
the interests of the South. It is to be feared
that the strength of this confederacy, united un
der a popular leader, is about to be directed to
the combination of the moral and political pow
ers of this government through the agency of a
N tlional Bank. This project, dangerous alike
to the liberties of all, ami especially ruinous to
the interests of the Southern portion of this
Union, deserves and shall receive our uncom
promising opposition.
On suelt a combination of discouraging cir
cumstances, follow.citizens, let us venture to fix
our attention, without despairing of our coun
try, and without being deterred from our firm
resolution of rejecting every measure that may
prove an obstacle to our success.
The safety of each individual in the entire
community, and the safety of the community as
a whole, depends, fortunately, not on the disco,
very of new resources, (for oms are already im
mense.) but simply on some new mode of apply,
ing them, which shall diminish charges already
too heavy. To furnish onr merchants and plan- !
tors with permanently valuable and cheap facili- :
ties, to restore our best commerce, to deliver our
selves from the ruinous effects of an uncertain
credit, perpetually abandoned to the caprices of j
avarice, we have need only of union, constancy, ;
and firmness. We shall then soon behold vigor,
prosperity and abundance. Let us not forget
that our own Slate government is the true point |
of our union, and our own firm resolve, the |
tower of our strength.
Determined by these powerful considerations, !
let ns advance to the task with hearts elevated
by emotions of powerful and lofty patriotism,
with the firmness necessary to secure success,
with tho dignity of citizens appealing to a com
munity of freemen, whose interests are identi
fied with their own, witli a profound conviction
of the truth of what we state; and let us add,
with a lamentable knowledge of our necessities.
If tiic producing stales could be induced to
unite on any measure of general policy, the
present is a most auspicious moment. Let
each producing stale create such banking facil
ities as will enable onr commercial men to take
hold of our present crop, and our commerce is
at once restored. Let these institutions be pre
dicated upon public credit; let a largo portion
of their issues bo secured by mortgages upon
real estate, this would at once combine the doit
ble security of public credit and private capital.
The constitutional objection may be avoided by
granting a bank charter to the people. Let each
producing stale pledge Iter slock to the amount
ot facilities required, which may be deposited in
the institution, the bank assuming this to bo ca
pital, may commence its issues upon tbc securi
ty of real es:alc as before remarked. Fear not;
a sufficient amount will be pledged. Under the
limited co-partneiship laws, combinations among
our real estate holders will spting U p over ah
llic land, and a new impulse will be communi
caled to all classes of our neople.
1 nc produce of the different stales furnished
for export will, in reality, be the true capital up
on which all this credit must rest. Is it not
enough ? It amounts to sixty five millions of
dollars annually, it already supports two-thirds
ot the commercial and financial credit of the
United States; when restricted entirely to our
own wants, can it not be made to subserve oili
own purposes ?
We most respectfully invite the attention of
the Commercial Convention, to be assembled in
Augusta in October next, to the consideration of
tins important question. Remember, gentlemen,
l hat if you a lo.v the New York banks which are
now upon tlia eve of orgaffzed operation to
place your present crop in the hands of their
merchants, long years may not recover you from
the blow ; every hour we now lose in creating
facilities lor ou selves, increases our liabilities
abroad ; the longer we delay, the more difficult
will be our task.
If, gentlemen, you should refuse to entertain
our proposition, if our brothers in the south will
not unite with us in this glorious enterprize, do
us the justioe to remember that we have in all
kinkness admonished you.
People of Georgia, let us act f>r ourselves; let
us not depend upon tile uncertain actions of oth
ers. Remember that your safely depends Upon
yourselves ; that your own effiris must work out
your own salvation. Arise, then, assemble in
every county in the slate to deliberate upon this
important subject.
Wilh certain restrictions, our government is
but the organ of public opinion, let us then com
pel it to immediate action by an united expres.
sion of that opinion, let its determine that our
own credit, predicated upon our own resources,
shall be used for our own benefit. Ifour people
cannot divest themselves of the absurd and im
provident idea that gold and silver constitute the
wealth ot a nation, let our government borrow
a sufficient sum to put a bank into operation tip
on regular banking principles. Remember, how
ever, that this loan will be a conscription upon
our production to the amount of its interest until
paid off; and it is entirely unnecessary if we
can only view the subjest in its true light. By
a proper and economical use of our present crop,
we may enable onr merchants to relieve them
selves of their liabilities abroad, and to import a
sufficient quantity of goods for consumption du
ring the coming year. If at the commence
ment of the next commercial year (which for
the sake of data we assume to be the first of
October) we find ourselves free of embarrass
ment, a proper application of Ibe resources of
that year (admitting the crop to be an average
one) must turn the balance of trade and wilh it,
thee xchangi s, in our favor.
Citizens of Georgia, if wc will but unite, all
else will be easy. It the Heavens remain neu
tral, the operations of human power will be in
competent to anest you. Remember that great
blessings are only to be obtained by great excr.
lions. From what quarter do you fear oppo i ion?
Have you been so long misgoverned as to be in
capable of action? Can you point to the time
when the government of your choice has delibe
rated upon a truly national project, the adoption
of which would have promoted the interest of all?
Let us direct it to the performance of the duty,
so long neglected, to a consideration ofthe trust,
so long betrayed.
Turn to the records of your government, and
what do you behold? Demagogues of twentieth
rate ability, wrangling over the spoils of an cmp.
ty treasury, and the honor of an almost bankrupt
people—petlyfoggers, prating about the provi
sions of a constitution they have never read—fu
rious bigots, llieonly remarkable feature in whose
characters is their want of faith in themselves
petit literati, noticeable only for the stale bribe
cility of their criticisms ! The moment which
terminates the misrule of all these, is that in
which you shall be aroused to a legitimate use
of your own power.
Your Committee suggest the adoption of the
following resolutions, to wit:
ilcsolved, That it is the opinion of this meeting
that an increase in the Banking Capital of the State,
is indispensably necessary to ensure success to the
eff >rts which our citizens are now making, to give
to the \ arious interests of the South, the full bene
fit of all their natural advantages; and we, there
fore, recommend to our next General Assembly,
to organize a Banking Institution with a capital
commensurate with the wants of the community,
upon such a basis, and undei such restrictions and
regulations as'past experience has shown to be ne
cessary to secure its soundness and efficiency.
Iltsolvcd, That we are decidedly opposed to the
increase of hanking facilities through the agency of
private corporations, and as decidedly recommend
to onr representatives in thenext legislature, tosup
porltbe establishment of a system of banking facili
ties,) which, while it will subserve the pmposes of
adi.ect trade, will at the same time, be divested
of that spoil of monoply which lias pervaded the
country,) the benefits of which may be left by all
classes of our citizens.
Col. A. J. Lawson then offered the following as
a substitute for the foregoing resolutions.
li<salted. That we most cordially approve the
proceedings of the late Convention, and of the mea
sures which that body has recommended as tieces
i sary to break the shackles which have so long
S fetten d Siutluri commerce, and to restore to
the South the full fruition of those advantages
to which her favorable position, her fertile soil, and
j her peculiar institutions entitle her.
Ilcsolced, That although many of our most intel
ligent citizens are impressed w ith the belief that all
! efforts to achieve our commercial independence
will be fruitless, without a large increase in the
hanking ca; ital in the country, and are anxious fur
immediate action in favor of such an increase ; yet
| this meeting, deeply sensible of the difficulty and
importance of the question, prefer to leave its dcci
| sion to the wisdom of the Convention, which is to
meet in Augusta on the ihird Monday of October
| next; and placing the most implicit confidence in
tiie ability and patriotism of that assembly, we de
| dare ourselves ready zealously to co-operate in
the furtherance of this measure, or any other which
that body may recommend as necessary to re-es
tablish Southern interests upon a sure foundation.
Recoined, That we are of the opinion that a Na
; tional Bank is inexpedient, unconstitutional, and
j dangerous to the liberties of the country ; and that
we look upon the establishment of such an institu
tion as an almost inseparable barrier to the success
ot our mighty Southern enterprize.
Alter much warm discussion, an attempt was
twice made to lake a vote upon the substitute, but
in consequence of the confusion which prevailed
the Chair could not decide the questions without a
division. A motion was then made to divide the
house hy the movers of the original report and re
solutions, whereupon the supporters of the substi
tute retired from the house. The report and reso
lutions as offered by the committee, were then
adopted w ith but one dissenting voice.
On motion, it was Resol veil, That the proceed
ings of this meeting be signed hy the Chairman
and Secretary, and published in all the Gazettes
in the city of Augusta.

Geo. W. Evaxs. Secretary.

■jh-ssj. This renowned and ever memora

% 5 /'ll Col. Crowell, his owner, after relurn
ing from his tour through the north,
east and west, has come to the conclusion to allow
him to remain with me another season. Applica
tions were made in various sections of our country;
unlimited business was guarantied; large sums of
fered by various gentlemen for the service of the
horse; but Col. Crowell threw aside all minor con
siderations, all pecuniary motives, when on his re
turn he found so many solicitations, from various
quarters of the south, to allow the horse to remain
with me,that he at length yielded and gratified their
wishes In fact Bascomhe has so many warm ad
.mirers, that they nearly view him as their common
property. Bascombe has attained his end in one
point, he has put to rest all those little, petty slan
ders, relative to- impotency, as he has proven him
self as sure a foal-getter as any horse that stands
on four feet. Ills first get was dropped this season; i
each and every persons colt, in different parts of
the south, is the crack and brag colt; in fact, for
garae-like appearance, quickness of action, spright
liness and playfulness, unsurpassed.
He will commence bis season on the 15th of Feb
ruary next —to terminate on the 15th of July.
Terms, SlOO the season, and $1 to the groom.— !
Good lots, fine stables, pastures, and provender, will ;

or accidents. Persons sending mares are particu- j
larly requested to send their pedigree, also, notes
made payable to John Crowell or bearer; the ex
penses of the mares to be paid before taking them
away. 3lares remaining with the Horse, will be 1
well taken care of at 5'J cents per day—Servants |
with them, fed gratis.
It is useless to mention redigree and performances;
Bascorabe’s speak for themselves; the world know
them; his name will be banded down from Turfite
to Turfite; and when no mure, the bosoms of future
sportsmen will swell with emotion and delight,
when they hear mentioned the name of Bascomhe.
