In 1834, ■n.hc principles ot .he party had been just jHuuly re-proclaimed by a convention at Mil- the parly with great unanimity and fulness nominated and supported Mr. Wilde |H^ on B rcss ) with the recorded fact before them he had voted for the charter of the late Bank and mote recently lor its re.chatter in He not only believed it constitutional, and yclhe received the highest ■us the parly for Congress.

IJlack says that the Sub -1 reasury is not a teste question among our friends in his section of the country. It is an erneat that the watch word of the parly will be "the ticket. 1 the whole ticket!!” So let it be every where, for while our candidates will stand I before the people as men capable of thinking for j themselves,and not the mere machines and hacks ■ °1 party, it will show to the world that the State j Rights parly is not to be driven or deluded into a foolish sacrifice of itself and its principles, by every mushroom question which may spring up. A New Line ofPackets between Savannah and New York. M e arc pleased to learn, says the Savannah Georgian, that some of our enterprising mer chants contemplate in conjunction with some of their mercantile brethren of the city of New York the establishment of a new line of packets be. tween the two places. 'J’bo line will consist of six fast sailing, first rale hermaphrodite brigs. It is to be called the Schooner Line, to designate it from the Prig Line already in existence. Thus wo perceive, our merchants arc preparing grcate r facilities to meet the increasing business of our city. When this line is put into operation, which we learn it will bo during the present season, we shall have four lines of packets between New Vork and this place; two ship lines, one brig line, and one schooner line. The number of vessels in these four lines will be twelve ships, six brigs, and six schooners, in all Iwenly.-four first rate vessels in their respective classes.

ELI EL LOCKHART, CHARLES STATHEM. From the New Turk Whig, September 4. The Secretary of the Treasury has published the monthly statement of the condition of the Sub-Treasury Rank. Here it is ; Treasury Department , Sept. 1, 1.138. The whole amount of Treasury Notes author ized by the Act of October 13, 1817, having been issued, viz : $10,000,000 00 And there having been redeem ed of them about 7,350,000 00 'i'ltc now emissions made in place of those under the Act of May 13, 1838, have been 5,574,310 01 There have been redeemed of those last about 100,000 00 This leaves a balance of all out> standing equal to otdy about $8,087,310 01 LEVI WOODBURY, Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Woodbury also advertises that the Treasu ry notes outstanding will bo redeemed. WhSla wonderful condescension on bis part! Wo pre sume that the redemption is to be made with the money illegally extorted from the merchants’ pockets at the New York Custom House. But hetc is this extraordinary document. Read and stare. Treasury Department, Sept. 1, 1838. Notice is hereby given, that the outstanding Treasury notes issued in pursuance of the Acts of Gong-ess of the 13th October, 1837, and the Act additional thereto, will bo paid agreeably to their tenour, on presentment ai the Treasury of the United Stales, whenever they fall due. Each parcel ol notes offered for payment, should bo accompanied by a schedule, showing the dales and sums of the several notes, with the rate of interest thereon. Holders of Treasury notes, to whom it may be more convenient to have the amount duo upon the same made available at either of tho Ports of Entry or Land Offices, arc informed that all Collectors and Receivers of Public Money will continue to receive them, and allow the principal and interest due thereon, in payments for lands and customs. Those who may not wish to use the notes in payments to the United Stales, nor find it con venient to take the amount due on them at tho Treasury, will Tie accommodated with drafts therefor, payable at their places of residence, whenever it is found to he practicable. LEVI WOODBURY, Secretary of the Treasury. Wo learn that the Arkansas loan of two mil lions of dollars for the Real Estate Bank has been taken. Half a million of it was negotiated by the Secretary of the Treasury with the Smith son fund through Mr. Beers’ Bank. This is the beginning of the political influence that more than a month since we predicted would be brought to beat on this concern. Wo now make another prediction, and beg our readers to bear it in mind. Ere six months roll round, the JVnrth .American Trust and Hanking Company -will he the pet of Mr. Van Horen's government. The balance of the Atkatisas loan, it is said, was taken to day c at 4 percent, premium. It is further said tha d the North American Trust Company look tin () million loan of the State of Arkansas for 103 or To morrow, (Tuesday, the -lib instant,) tin r hooks of the Pearl street Dealers’ Bank are open d od. Wo hope the slock will ho promptly laker to n large amount. It will ho u capital chanci f lor valuable investment of money. The share market to day was rather hotter lltar on Saturday. No U. S. Bank stock sold. Wt s give the closing prices below. Six per cent t Treasury notes Klllj. From the-Nem York Whig of the sth. money Market. I lie hanks ol this city have determined to cut r short the system of loaning money on deposits ol 3 southern and southwestern funds. This residus lion has created a lightness in the money market, \\ hen applied to for loans on this description of ’ security, the ■borrowers are told that they must .sell their non-hanking funds in other quarters. 1 his is all lair enough. 'The carrying into exe cution, however, of this policy resolutely will cl i ,cct tho market very materially for some tiare to come. It will put a serious check to speculations and harrass those houses which are endeavoring to recover from the shock they received in the late crisis. But the cure of the disease under which tha body commercial has so long been laboring must come sooner or later. Perhaps we shall not he better prepared to undergo the operation ot llie necessary medicines than we are at present. Ihe miserable policy of the government has struck deeper than we imagined. How far it has gone, time alone can show. There was some activity today in Alabama funds. The price was steady at 8 per cent dis. count. Mississippi was heavy at 10-J, so large i* the amount of this slate’s money in market. Western exchanges arc much hotter, and more was done in them this morning than usual. The stock market was extremely flat. The sales were confined to very few securities, and with the ex ception of Harlem, all sorts fell off. No United Slates Bank slock sold. From the N. Y. Courier ty Enipurer of the sth. f<ntcr from Liverpool. The ship Susannah Camming, Capt. Sailor, arrived at Portsmouth N. H. from Liverpool, on Monday last, and brings papers from that port of the 26th July, being two days later than we had previously received by the George Washington ; little news of importance, however, is contained in the extracts given troin these papers, and we therefore coniine ourselves to the following items ; It was generally staled in and about the House of commons, that the present session would not conclude until the 20th of August. If so, the two houses will have continued in session lor nearly nine months. A hill to regulate a Lighthouse at Gibraltar, has passed the Commons, and a clause charging one shilling on every ship which passed that place, and which was objected toby Mr. Hume and otlu’ ers, on the ground that the expense of collecting would he more than the money received was re. tained by a majority of 70. The splendid portrait of her Majesty, painted by Sully, for St. George’s Society, of Phtladel phia, (said in the Lnglish papers to have been painted lor the American Government) was to be exhibited at Liverpool. * ihe 1 emperance Society of Liverpool and neighborhood, held, as usual, their annual festival doling the race week in July.

Letters have been received at Paris, via New London, Connecticut, from Capt. d’Urvi/le, com manding the Aslruhalo, which sailed in company with the Zelcc from Toulon last September, on a voyage of discovery in the Pacific Ocean.— The letters were carried to New London, and thence forwarded to their destination by Capt. Lawton, ol the whale ship Macdonough, who found them in a post office established by Capt. d’Urville, at Port Famine, a desert place, in the Straits of Magellen. 'Fhc post ojftce was a box set on a pole, containing the letters and a request to have them forwarded to Europe or the United Stales. Several letters for England were also received by the same post. Capt. d’Urville ar rived at Port Famine on the 25th December last. The St. George’s Company’s steam ship Tiger, has made the passage from Hull to Hamburgh, in the short space of 35j hours; From the N. O. Merchants Transcript, nj the sth. On Monday last the Presidents of our different hanks met to discuss again the all absorbing ques tion of a resumption of specie payments; it is understood that they *onlinucd in their determi nation to resume on the Ist January next, provi ded, “the U. S. Bank of Pennsylvania would furnish a circulating medium,” hut, as yet Mr. Biddle (though it is now nearly three months since their application to him) has nut yet given them any hopes of acceding to their request. There is a great difference of opinion between the directions of certain of the banks and that of those recently created, not only as to the expudi cncy of the measure, hut also as to the ability of the institutions to resume; the former seem anx ious to redeem their promises to the public, if they could do so being compelled, for their own security, to assume a largo amount of tire paper of the corporations whose issues (espe cially the skeleton hanks) are excessive; and the latter fearful of unpleasant consequences in case the specie banks do not assist thorn, are desirous of continuing lire paper currency. Thus mutters stand— Li the mean lime the all powerful voice of an indulgent community is heard crying aloud for 1 long expected justice—our citizens are becoming restive under the inequality of the exchanges be tween this and the north, and are demanding' relief. Besides all this petitions arc heinggot up pray ing the Legislature, which is to assemble the first week in January, to compel, if necessary, a re sumption. From the N. U. Picayune, September ilh. Fires. On Sunday morning, between one and two o’clock, a (ire broke out at Miller’s saw mill, some two or lltrce miles below Canal street. —An im mense quantity of lumber was destroyed. The loss, wc understand, is from $20,000 to $30,000 —but whether there was any insurance, or to what amount, we could not learn. Notwithstanding the great distance, our lire companies, with their usual alacrity, were on the ground ; and while they were at the very out skirts of the city in a downward direction, aunt It er fire broke out in the upper part, at the corner of Hi. Charles and Julia, in a parcel of small frame warehouses, principally occupied fir the storage of hay, lime, &c. This the iiromen also visited—so that they bad a pretty hard night’s service. The loss at the latter fire wo did not hear estimated—but wo believe it was inconsider able. In both instances the fire was supposed to have been the work of incendiaries. At the same time of the above mentioned fires, an attempt was made upon a house in Circus street, belonging to W. F. C. Duple: is, E «i. Great pains had been taken in the arrangement of combustible materials ; hut fortunately the rain was so great us to extinguish the brands. »t 7 Mr. 15!ii«k’s Letter. ~ Bcnivtix County, Ang. 25, 1838. ir To A, E. Whitten, Esq. and others, n Com i- millee ot the citizens of Franklin County, mid Simpson Fonche, J. 11. 15. Shackleford, Esq*, and others, citizens of Taliaferro County n Gentlemen :It gives mo great pleasure to e answer the questions you have propounded for *• my consideration, and which have heen ad dressed to mo by letter, and through the nows papers. The Resolutions enclosed tome Irom Franklin County, calls upon each Can , didaio for Congress, in the Slate of Georgia f for Ins opinion relative to the constitutionality „ ai "l expediency of establishing aU. Slates iiank, and to express their “ choice ” for the J next President between Van Huron, Clay, , Webster,and Harrison; the citizens desire to be informed whether I am for, o>- against, the . separation of Government from all connection \vitli Paulis, and if that question bo answered , in the negative, then whether lain for or » against the establishment of a National Hank, : or tor or against the re-organization of the Pet i Punk scheme. For the convenience of all parties concerned, I bug leave to reply to both ■ these communications at once, mid to pro- I mulgnto my answers through the press, as the i best possible means of conveying to the voters of Georgia, all the information in relation to 1 the opinions of one of the Candidates for Congress, necossa'y to a correct and patriotic exercise ol the elective franchise. This, 1 do more readily, because I have ever conten ded, as I yet do, tor the right of instruction and consequently for the right of the people to be fully informed as to the views and opin ions of those who are offered for thoir suffra ges. 1 am asked then, to make known mv ‘choice’ for the next President between Van Pnren, Clay', Webster, and Harrison ; —being a Slate flights man, and accustomed from the earliest period ol my political career, to look to the principles of Thomas Jefferson as lire only true creed in politics, I of course can have no choice between the individuals above pro posed. Mr. Van Pnren is a recorded advocate for i free negro suffrage—admits the right ot Con- i gross to abolish slavery in the District of Col- i unibia, and loaves us no safe-guard for our I domestic institutions, Int bis promised veto, i He voted against, the Tariff, mid made a i speech in favor of it—he was an advocate for i the Proclamation and Force Pill—heapprovs \ cd the removal of the deposits of public mon- t ey in violation of existing laws—he advised i and approved the Pet Pank system, to which r •he State Rights party were unanimously op- i posed; and last, not least, lie “paltered with i us in a double sense” in relation to the rcino- < val of our Indian population. j Can it be seriously supposed, after this ; statement ot laets, that Mr. Van Puren is my , choice for President'? If there are any , among us who can choose him with a full know- \ ledge of Ins political character all I have ,to i say, is, they are much - more easily satisfied ( than 1 am. it is true ho is at this time favor- i able to the establishment of an Independent Treasury; but be lias been forced into that position by the successful opposition ol the Slate Rights party of the South, and the WJ»*gfO .rftlui Vr.itl,, 1.10 I>_.t tern, to winch be clung as long as there was a ray of hope to animate him. Shell ids temporary advocacy ofa single abstract proposition, involving a quest innaa much ot expediency as principle, out-weigh the long list of political heresies with which lie stands so justly chargeable ? Mo has had one fair trial before the people of Georgia; his friends wore then, us they now are, ‘‘moving ' heaven and earth to ensure Ins acceptance by ! the voters of this Slate; but after all that was said in support of his pretensions to their fa- ' vor. they rejected his claims hy a triumphant majority. Upon that occasion I contributed ] nothing to bis support, for the reasons above s'atcd and aware of no reformation in his principles, or policy, since that time, I shall be free to leave him to the support of those who affect to admire the elevation of his po - litical character, and his devotion to the rights and interests of Georgia. If genius and intellect of the highest order if oratorical powers comparable to the ablest efforts of ancient or modern times—if a free and generous character in every thing person al to himself were the only attributes and qualifications necessary to constitute a wise, just, and efficient magistrate, upon whom the South as well as the West could rely lor the protection oi lier Constitutional rights, 1 should certainly select Henry Clay, in preference to , almost any man, for the exalted station to which ho aspires, lint fortunately there are j. “dark spots on his sun,” which to the eyes of a Southern man, educated in the strict tenets ■■ ot our political faith, must eclipse all his . brightness, and obscure his effulgence. Ho |- has been charged with advocating in a Con vention of the people of Kentucky, and inure . recently at a meeting of the Colonization >So . ciety, the abolition of slavery—and the charge s though publicly made, has never boon denied; s he is the father of the so-called “American System,”—the plain English of which is, he i goes for a high protective tariff of discriminu r ting duties. He has suggested a ‘ Fifty Mils ; lions National Pank” —ho approves the Prne ■ htmulicii and Force 15 11, and has lately boasted ■ in the Senate of the U. Slates, that “HE” had - saved the necks of the Stale Rights men of 1 the South from Gen. Jackson’s snare and - halter ! —He is a consolidalionist, and, if elect ed to the office ho seeks, would do, as he has dune, every thing in lus power to convert this confederation of States into a spiended cen tral, consolidated Government. Although a ’ Representative of the West his patriotism has become so expansive of late, as to take into its embrace ail sorts ofpeople, hankil.es, tatilf j ites, consolidtttioiiiots, federalists, and all, —In t short, he has no political interests or princi ples m common with us, and we could not . rationally expect him to side with us in any . future contest that might unfortunately occur . in relation to onr violated rights. • For these reasons Henry day is not my r “choice for President.” I admire him as a I man of powerful and fascinating talents ; but, ! we must be wholly forgetful of wind, we have ’ been, and are, before we cun support birn lor ’ any office. Daniel Webster is a g'aiit m intellect as in Federalism. Glorying in the name and > piiliciples ol the old Federal Party, be adheres to them with a firmness of purpose, which, ’ while it elicits our admiration lor bis constan cy, is by so means calculated to conciliate us l , to his advancement. Me is so totally foreign , to us m every view of-lhe case, that I do not I believe he could gel ten votes in the Slate of j Georgia for the Presidency. Os course I con aider him out of ilio question. As for Gen. Harrison, ho is not known in t his section of the State as a Candidate lor the executive and ifliu lias been occasionally spoken of among us, it has been only as an abolitionist, aud a man who would nut suit us under any circumstances. 1 am aware, that in thus rejecting all the names you have proposed, 1 will bo wrongful, ly subjected to the uncharitable imputations of some who won d he glad of any pretext of op. position. It will be said by our opponents, that 1 reject every body and everything —that 1 ani negatively captious,und have no choice.— hucli, however, is not Hie fact. If you present me with lour decided and acknowledged evils, you surely will pardon me fur choosing neither <>J them, hut rejecting all. If your question had gone a step farther and asked who 1 would support lor President, if 1 should reject all the Candidates you offer, I could readily have giv en you an unintuitive answer. I would vote lor George lU. Troup, or any other man of h s intellect and principles, for the highest otlice in [ho gilt ol the people ; because m so doing, I should nut only be voting loom man o( confessed abilities, but in *,io appropriate language uftho citizens ofTaliaferro, 1 should he “sustaining one who had faithfully repre sented our views and feelings,” and should not he ‘•hazarding the total overthrow of those I long cherished principles of politics and con- [ stitiitioniil construction, for which wo have so zealously contended through evil, and tnrongli 1 good report.” For my npinion relative to (ho questions of Hank and Treasury, permit me to refer you to the history of the Slate Rights Parly, ns connected with that subject. That parly have unilorinly, and almost nnaniniorsly, been op posed to the creation of a U. Hiatus Rank up- i on the constitutional ground —that Congress i had no right to charter such an institution, t They believed that as the Constitution con- i tuined no grunt of power to the federal an- 1 lliorities to charter a Hank, the fact that the 1 power to pass acts of incorporation hy Con gress, had been more than once proposed and rejected in the Convention which framed that instrument, was proof positive that the quoa- ' tiun had been lully considered, and decided in tiie negative by those to whom the people had entrusted the task of organizing the gone- rn) government. They reluaed to legislate into existence, a power which the law para- 1 mount of the land did not grant, and which , was expressly rejected by the Convention it sell. Those, and other grounds of objection y to a Hank having been again and again‘delibc- t ralely resolved oy oim Legislature, and repea- , tudly sanctioned by the primary assemblies of i the people, precludes at once the question of ( expediency. That, which is unconstitutional , is certainly inexpedient, at, least, to those who are disposed to abide hy the Constitution “in i spirit and m truth,” and to recognize it as the i guaranty of their rigl Is and privileges. If t that instrument should even he so amended as I to grant to Congress power to pass acts of in corporation, n may then very properly become a question whether it is expedient to create such an institution. Until such an amend-1 menl is made, 1 will not permit, myself toen-1 tertnin, even fur a moment, the question of expediency, iu opposition to my cr>n.viniii,.ynj Bcn,|»ies. Thu object to tic attained can never aanelily the means. 'l'bo successful opposition of the State Rights parly of Georgia to iho “JVt Hank scheme” of Gen. Jackson Van Hu ron, is ol too recent occurrence to demand proof by reference, to t ie facts which trunspi red at the time. Having participated in that opposition, I entertain now, as J did then, a settled repugnance to the ‘ scheme” ns one, the signal failure of which, has proven con. clusively, the truth of the many objections which were urged against its adoption. JO van ; its original authors have abandoned it ns incf- 1 licienl, and a vast majority of the people have 1 fully sustained our opposition. What course 1 remains then for us to pursue'! If we intend to bo true to ourselves, and consistent with our former professions, we must necessarily advocate the adoption of an Independent Trbasuhv. Having rejected a U. Slates Hank as unconstitutional, and consequently, as inexpedient— having repudiated the I 'ol Bank system in all its bearings, we are no lon ger at liberty to refuse a fair trial to that only remaining plan of collecting and disbursing the public revenue, which proposes to divorce the Government from all connection with Hanks, a« fiscal agents. While, however, 1 admit the general principle of divorcing the Government from Hanks, I should insist upon a satisfactory arrangement of the details of the system, before 1 could give it, my support; for that which might be a very acceptable “Hub Treasury” to one man, mig.it be exceedingly objectionable to me. J should vote not only to sever the Government from Hanks, but I should insist upon severing the Treasury, and the appointment of its ollicers, from the hands of the Executive. I would place the control of the Treasury, and (he appointment and su. porvisioti of those who are to administer its a Hairs, in the hands of the House of Repre sentatives. The members of that House are elected at short intervals by the people—their responsibility is more direct,and their connec tion with the constituent body more immedi ate than any other branch uftho general gov ernment. To that, department too, the Con stitution evidently looks as iho most appropri ate agent to supervise the “ways and means” of the people in their political capacity, when it clothes it with exclusive power to originate a revenue. 1 would also leave the govern menl free to receive the bills of specie paying Haiikij; for while I distinctly recognize gold and silver only as money, and as the only cur* rcncy known to the constitution, 1 do not think I should be violating either the loiter nr spirit ol that instrument, hy receiving the hills of such hanks ns promptly paid specie, dollar for dollar, at the will of the holder, I should look upon such bills as the immediate representa- Uvo of the precious molals—a.-rspecie certifi cates, convertible with gold and silver, so long as they were so in fad.
