Our Prospefcts.
Mr. Editor —The immense advantages of (lie
state of Georgia, in respect to internal improve
ments, and unlimited resources for commercial
enterprise, very naturally excites a disposition on
the part of her friends to seek oul all tlie channels,
amldcvelope all Ihe sources of her prosperity.
Her friends are encouraged by the respect ac
corded to her for the extent and usefulness of tlie
■railroad, and they will still cherish the hope that
Georgia is destined to secure the independence of
the South.
The city of Augusta combines every local ad
vantage to render it the great central depot of
foreign and domestic commerce , but the question
whether Charleston, Savannah, Beaufort, or Bruns
wick, shall become the Southern Atlantic Em
porium, is still Uaooted. Charleston has the ad'
vantage at present, and with prompt measures,
will retain it against want of energy, and the less
powerful influence of mere speculation. It can
not be of much importance to Augusta, tf/hich of
these places ultimately succeeds, for her inter
course with them will bo facilitated in the ratio
of its importance to herself, as t hey are equally
contiguous. Considering Augusta tlie rallying
1 joint of commerce with the Atlantic, we lock to
our prospects of increasing trade with llie West
and South West.
'i'lie Athens RailfPad, ns far as Warrenton,
will contribute largely to the concentration of the
trade which would otherwise have gone via Ma
con, &c., to Darien and Savannah; and ns it
forms part of the great western stage route, can
not hut prove a source of much advantage to the
city. The Branch to Athens, considered by it.-
salt, does not present such attractions ; for it
seems only to anticipate the carriage of produce
and merchandise; and it is a common prejudice
that railroads do not pay unless they carry pas
sengers. By its direction, however, all the trade
of the rich counties this side of the Blue Ridge
is intercepted and carried to Augusta, and as 1
will now endeavor to show, may be made to con
tribute still further to the prosperity of our city.
ft is a very general impression that ilia navis
galion of the Savannah river, from Augusta to
Petersburg!!,could be easily improved, and it ap
pears tome that, at a moderate expense, compared
with the advantages, it could bo rendered navi
gable to a largo class of steamers. It is also
probable that the Broad river could be opened as
far as the south fork for large canal boats, and the
waters of the south fork and Oconee would sup
ply a canal to Athens. An abundance of water
can be obtained for a canal from Athens to the
Chattahoochee, aed falling into the latter river
we would descend to Vickorys creek, and thence
across to the Etowah, near the Sixes Old Town,
then down that stream via Rome, into the Coosa
and down the Coosa to Will’s creek, thence up>
that creek and connecting it by a canal with the i
Tennessee, near Clayvillo or Fort Deposit, and
by river and canal to Huntsville. The distance
by this route would probably he two hundred and
(illy miles between Huntsville and Petersburg!!,
and at four miles an hour, Would be pci formed
in two and a half days. Or say from Huntsville
to Athens, two hundred miles, and thence by
r ailroad, or by canal and river ninety miles, and
the whole trip from Huntsville to Augusta may
bo done in three days with the greatest ease. It
is to be icrnerftbered that ten miles an hour has
been attained on some of the British canals with
packet boats, which speed, if adopted in this in
stance, would concentrate a great many western
passengers to Athens, and of course to Augusta.
By inspecting the maps of this stale, it will bo
observed that this route presents itself very natu
rally, affords abundance of water, and avoids the;
principle heights of the Blue Ridge, and renders
a tunnel necessary only at the juncture of Will’s
creek with the Tennessee.
The clearing of the rivers connected with tins
route can not bo easily estimated, but fur the
locks, aqueducts, &c., the expense may he
considered equalised to about $ 10,000 per mile;
and wo thus sec that this grand enterprise can bo
accomplished at the cost of about ?'3,600,000,
which is loss than one half the cost of the con
templated Cincinnati and Charleston Railroad,
with all the advantages, and more (ban can pos
sibly ho afforded by (hair enterprise, permanently
secured to Georgia. The boats of the Missouri,
the Mississippi, the "vV abash, as well as those of
Vic Ohio, may float proudly upon the waters in
the valley of the Savannah.
This is a 'hasty sketch. Georgia lias other
siurces of greatness, lint let every Georgian
finish the picture, and his own bosom must throb
with the exulting consciousness that his own
slate, that his own city of Augusta, must con
clude this great enterprise, and thus contribute to
the happiness and welfare of millions inhabiting
the West. A Ymisn Emu.nukii.

A few days since the troops from the post at

made a thorough scout of the country south of

or three Indians. Very Few Indian signs were

evening last, while Mr. Dunn was pissing from
Lexington, Oglethorpe county, to his residence,
a distance of some three or four miles, iie was
taken from his horse and most brutally murder

corpse was found, shortly after the outrage, his
head was nearly severed from his body , and on
examination it was discovered he had received
twenty-six wounds with a knife or dirk, besides
f a severe confusion on the hack of tho head. The

to tho view ot the plana ami purposes of the pro

has been done, resulted from the mere wanton

. SUL ’‘I f fom ‘l>*> throne, commanding us to put our
trust in the Most High, and inviting us to call on
him in all our troubles. In the disregard of this
I was the sin and doom of Nullification. In the
disregard ol this, was the condemnation of tho
act renewing the charier of the Dank. Itul though
wo thus justly incurred tho displeasure of our ru
lers, it can hardly he supposed (hat the Governs
incut meant not only to distress the people, hut
also to embarrass jjitcll. That they meant that
the Pet bank System should fail, cannot he doubt
ed.— Why else did they force it to work, first a
plethora, and (hen a collapse? but can wo any
more doubt lain tmkv meant to keep out of the
vortex that was to swallow all besides? Had
they done this, and had they succeeded in defea
ting the Uepositc bill, eau we fail to see that the

ney, would have been master of the subsistence
and life of every individual of a beggared com.
raunity’!—l lieu would have been lib. Van Hu
reri’a (into for a Sub Treasury to garner up his
gains. What would Mr. Calhoun have said to
it then? And what would Mr, Van Huron have
cared what he said? Who would have disputed
his will? I maintain, and I said so from the first,
that, in discrediting tho banks and ruining t c
| country, ho accomplished no more than he aimed
at. His disappointment was in not getting hold
ol tho money. Give him that again, or give him
such a stun in specie, as a return of prosperity
will presently bring into the Treasury, and then
give him a place to keep it, and “Richard's him
self again!” Can we believe that Mr. Calhoun
docs not sec this? Shall he ho allowed so far to
disable his own judgment, as to have us think
him honest, when ho ptclends not to sec what is
obvious to every eye? but the President is to
be rendered powerless (o all purposes of mischief,
by the weight of his golden fetters! What (hen?
Will not any body cut them off lor the filings?
If the plan does not suit him, will he not have it
changed? If public opinion be ever so much in
favor of it, cannot he buy it up? Or, if that be 1
too cosily, cannot ho make the scheme work its
own destruction, by making its operation oppress 1
sivc and odious?
To an interprcUilion of the conduct of our rtt I
lers, which imputes to them such monstrous .
wickedness, mild charily suggests that “few arc
all evil. ’ bu it so, but it there be any such,
shall we not seek them among those, the history
of whose lives hoars record of no single virtue!
And does tho scheme argue a depth of design
and reach of thought, nut to ho expected from,
such men? This is true, but Pharoah found a
Joseph, who instructed him, with tho aid of alter
nalo seasons of abundance and distress, to buy
his. people's birthright with tho fruit of their own
labor.
but though we may bo unable as yet to draw
out the chain ol cause anti consequence in all ils
length, a part, at least, is before it--. None will
ever doubt that, not satisfied with (he advantages
of an alltunce with tho moneyed interest, secu
red, by a connexion between the Government and
(he acting head of that interest, the despotic tem
pnr of our Into ruler would lie content with no-'
thing short of the absolute hiilmervienry of his
ally to his sovereign will and pleasure. Hailing
in litis, a war of conquest was commenced, for
the purpose of making the Government itself the
head of the monetary system of the United
Stales. Tiie last struggle of this contest is now t
going on—ami the desperate pertinacity with I
which it is urged shows plainly the object of the 1
assailants. In vain do Mr. Calhoun and his
myrmidons pretend to support the leading men- -
sine of the Government, us a means of restrain
ing the power and curtailing the patronage, and
limiting the iul'uicucc of the Executive. How it
is to produce this c/dect, though often urged, lie
has never condescended to explain. We were
required to believe it on his Imre word, while il
was obvious that, among the advocates and op,
punonls of the measure in the Senate, not one
beside himself discovered in it any such tenden
cy. We were required to believe that Mr. Van
buren, suddenly tired of responsibility, and wea
ry of the exorcise of his own sovereign will and
pleasure, was eagerly stretching forth his hands
to Congress, and entreating them to put matin.-'
cles upon him; and that, yon, sir, and your saga
cious friends, out of mere perverseness, were un
willing to do him the lavor. Per not believing
this, we are denounced ns wilfully and corruptly
blind—as Federalists, (I, it seem , am a Federal
ist in disguise)—as the hired tools of bunks—
and this denunciation waxes louder as its absur
dity becomes more glaring.—At this moment, a
calculation is making of all the available force of
the parly, and they ate suddenly animated and
cheered by the hope that tho accidental absence
of two or three members of the opposition, may
enable them to carry this measure through the
House of Representatives by the casting vote of
the Speaker! And to what purpose? Is it not
known that, of this accidental majority, there will
he many misrepresenting their constituents; and
that in another Congress, there must he a majori
ty, who, if true to those who send them there,
will oppose the measure? What then? .Shall

his office in all its vitioint, his wthosauk as

sthaineii, and aid al by the mercenary trained
hands ol his predecessor, depends on the acciden
tal absence of members to smuggle the hill
through Congress—shall ho, when ael these
advantages are taken away,have any hope
to prevent its prompt repeal? Are we children,
to be deceived by a pretence so shallow! Ate
we to believe in tins marvellous eagerness to
nttEAK into gaoe, without suspecting, that, so
soon as ho succeeds in his purpose, he will turn
this gilded bastile into a fortress, and man its
walls with mercenaries, and hang out the banner
of defiance to tho people’s will? What other
calculation can he make! How can he hope to
secure his system from demolition, hut by tiro
means of corruption which it will again place in
his hands? And are we to shut our eyes to this,
at thn bidding of one, who, at first, assured the
world, that to him, Mr. Van buren and all his
corrupt crew were still objects of unmitigated
scorn and abhorrence; and who almost lamented,
that he was put to the alternative of renouncing
his own favourite measure, or entrusting ils exe
cution to men, in whom he had no me rum ot
confidence 1 Hut what was Mr. Calhoun’s con
duct, when certain understrappers of the parly,
who had not made themselves 100 conspicuous in
the drama, moved to strike out the only clause in
the bill which had engaged his support? Hid ho

calmness, assigned tlie reasons why lie must vote
against it. Hero then the campaign ended, ami
eur political Major Dalgctly was free, by the very
terms ot his enlistment, to quit the camp. Did
lie ilo so! What measure, what man of the par
ly has failed of his support from that day to this?
IhU it was not of these things 1 meant to
spunk. It is not on these that the historian
will bestow moro than that passing notice,
which consigns to infamy the Wentworths
and Pulfcnoys, who devote to the service of
tyrants the powers which God hud given io'r
the use of mankind.
lint, in the history of the war of numbers,
headed by Executive power, their natural lea
der, and property headed by the Bank of the
United Slates, posterity will rend a lesson of
deep wisdom. May not we profit by it, too!
We arc 100 near the time and scene of action
to see clearly the connexion ol events with
each other, and with their causes. But some
thing we can see, and that something it be
comes ns to study and apply. In such war
fare, the landed interest is the .Ajax Telamon
ot property. Resolute and strong tor defence
it “screens with a mighty shade” nil who lake
shelter behind its seven (old shield; hut slug
gish and inert, its ponderous blows are easily
eluded. The enemy may indeed vainly
waste his strength on its unwieldy mass, but,
deficient in vigilance anil activity, it gives him
no fear of being attacked in return, it is the
moneyed interest, alert, jealous, insatiable
and keen, the swift footed Achilles.
"Imjiiger iracundut inexorabiltg acer.”.
To this belongs the duty ot assault; to
watch the movements of the enemy; to anti,
cipatc his blows, and, in his hours of repose
and fancied security, to break into Ins camp
and scatter his forces. Statesmen have long
been aware of this difference. Hence the as
piring usurper, when he would excite the mul-
I it tide hy the promise ol plunder, rarely seeks
to disturb the natural loyally of the tenant to
his landlord, or of the prodigal labourer to bis
employer, lie tells them of the moneybags
of the great capitalist, and invites them to un
eurlli (lie secret hoards of the usurer. Espe
cially lie provokes them to rugo against that
system ol credit which so much increases the
activity and energy of wealth,and hy which,in

ning, and hide itself iii the uttermost parts of
the earth,” from the rapacity alike of the ty ■
runt and the rabble. With this interest, it is,
that, in modern timer the great battle of free
dom is always fought. That sagacious and
corrupt. Statesman, Sir Robert (in
all hut his ability, the prototype ol our present
rulers,) well knew the prowess of ibis cham
pion of the rights of property: “The coun
try gentlemen,” said lie, “good easy souls I
conic tip to he shorn, and lie as quietly as
lambs while their llcoccs are taken oil', But
touch ouo tinstnl of the mercantile interest,
and instantly the whole stye is in an uproar.

1 am aware, sir, that it it: thought to he in
had taste to speak favourably of u jealousy of
the rights of properly. The feeling is ton in
terested and selfish lor Ibis liberal and patri
otic ago and country. But let us bo careful
not to scan too closely the motives of the in
dividual man in the struggle of freedom
against power, and properly against numbers.
By doing so, in other cases, we might ho of
ten templed to tear tlie hi,arable from Iho Ilo
re’s brow, and to strip the consecrating Ivy
from Iho tomb of him who died lighting in his
country's cause. In this mixed mass of good
and evil, we must lake things us we find ifietn.
The passions of the hum in henit are the in
struments with which the snitesiiiun must
work out bin great designs, In those, are the
springs of action—the motive power, which it
is his business to direct and regulate: and
among these, throe is none of such enduring
energy, and so capable ol being applied to nil
good purposes, as Iho desire of gam, contin
ually stimulated by Iho habitual exercise of
gainful occupation. We may decry it ns wc
will, as ii shows itself in the conduct of indi
viduals; but in great masses, and under pro -
per regulation; it lias achieved more for right
and liberty, than every other passion oflhe
human heart. It. is to a knowledge ofthis
truth, that, the champions of Liberty, in ling
land, owe their success, in breaking up the
strong holds of feudal tyranny, in reducing
the power of barons and kings, and in estab
lishing the re'gn of law and order, and equal
right. This is, at tin:; day, the great censor
va'ivo princip'c of British freedom; and its
beneficial action is only In ho secured and
perpetuated by keeping the power of the mo
neyed interest, ever in an antagonist position
to Executive authority. “Here it is,” says Mr.
Uurkc, “that the people of England have
learned to feel the pulse of liberty, and, as
they find llmtbeat, they think themselves sick
or sound.”
Thinking thus, could I he in favor rtf the
union of Rank and State ? Far from it.
Hence, and hence only, have 1 always regar
ded a. Rank oflhe United Slates, as a forimd*
able weapon in Iho hands ol the Federal Go
vernment. Nor did fso much dread it for it
self, us because it was forged froth the very
shield, which the wisdom ol our English An
cestors had put inlo onr hands, ns our best de
fence against usurpation and oppression.
Wise by their leaching, wo used it with ef
fect, against the aggressions of the Rrtish
G over i mien I; but when that struggle was over,
wo flung it, from us, fondly imagining that the
paper defences of a written Gonstuulioii
would supply its place. ()f this inconsiderate
rashness we arc now paying the penally.
No, sir! No man is farther than I, from de
sning the connection of Rank and State. The
union of Church and Stale was, in its day,
not more pernicious. Each was alike the do,
vice of power to league itself with the master
passion of the age—fanaticism or avarice—
the worship of Saints and Images, or the
worship of Mammon. But what was gained
to freedom ol conscience, when the Tyrant
Rigot Henry VIM. abjuring the Pope, pro.
claimed Himself the Head ot the Church, and
Defender oflhe Faith ? And what shall we
gain by exchanging the late liaison (for it was
no more) between the moneyed and the po
litical [lower of the Union, for a regular mar
riage in facie /''.celesta:, whereby “they twain
shall become one 1”
Let ihe Sub-Treasury Bill bo panned, and, from
1 that time, there is a complete merger of the mon

showed ilsejf equal lo the encounter, and deli'

aware Unit there are a sort of politicians
among us, who place tins at the bead of tho
charges against Mr. Jtnldle. Mr. Calhoun
hnnaell is among the number, and (with wind
consistency, he can ol course explain) regards
it as a monstrous evil, that there should have

that in the result ot tin: etrugglo, you have
seen a proof ol the value o| some great bond
ol the moneyed interest, which, 5 m nine of
need, may sene as a rallying point lor all the
I properly ot the country, in any contest Willi
power, whether Executive or Legislative.
Iho conclusion to which 1 would lead your
mind i.s ibis: “I Inn. 11 io proposed ugunt should
be so constituted as lo bo no otherwise subject
to the authority nl Govornmeut, than us nil
I things, whether persons or properly, arc
necessarily subjected to it. Thus alone own

not unn ni ol oppression.”
i I know not whether the (a r 11 11 v ofresh (anno,
, displayed by ’flu Rank ol tho United Slaton,
_ was wholly in t)ie elastic and indomiuHe
. energy ol the moneyed interest, nr, in part,
i m tho personal qualities of bun who managed
it. I have not the pleasure ol that geriilo
i man’s acquaintance, lint I find myself his
debtor (or a lesson in political philosophy,
winch 1 con never forget. Jf he be not mi
c.vtinordinary man, he is at feast, fortunate in
having been called to acta pan which will
give him n place in history, and a high rank
among (ho ile/endors ot liberty. I know no
man ol this day so duly enviable.—When I
see him guiding his gallant ship over tho toss
ni;> wnv’s of the great sea of Goiriinorce,
heaving from its lowest depths—when I see
Inin sitting at the helm in conscious security
amid I In; teinpeatllittl shakes the solid earth,
*J‘ik |! a f.rc;il sen murk, standing every (law,
Amt saving thorn that uyo him,”
I should he mortified that he should condc-
Hceiul lo exchange his wave rocked fortress
lot a palace and it throne. I find myself ap
plying lo Inin the noble language of the no
hiesi ol I'ocls. He is (o us “« symbol and a

I have pleasure in believing that much ol
