M u ox, August 22,1, 183 S.
Gentlemen—] have tho honor to aeknowl.
edge the receipt, nfyonr favor of the Hili insl.
informing me of the adoption ol the billowing
resolution, hy a large and respectable meet
in*' recently field in Frank! m connly :
“ Resolved , That a committee of live be ap
pointed to call on each candidate for Congress,
in tho Slate of Georgia, for his opinions rela
tive to the constitutionality and < xpedicney ot
establishing a United Stales Hank; and fur
ther that each candidate he requested to make
known Ins choice for the next President be
tween Van Huron, Clay, Webster and Harri
son.
These are questions which the people have
the most undoubted right to propound to those
who are candidates lor their suilfages, and to
them 1 most cheerfully respond
Is a I Jolted .States Hank eonaliliitional ?
1 answer no! The Federal (lovcniinent is
the ere it lire u I the .Slates, formed hy l hem wit It
certain defined powc.s, and lor certain speci
fied purposes. The powers conceded are nil
cnuriieriiieil in the compact; the authority to
create a Dunk is not mining them, nor m my
op moo can it he deduced tvoin Hie dative 1,1
llie Constitution winch centers upon Cmigu* a *
the right “to make all laws winch shall he
necessary and proper for carrying into execu
tion” the powers expressly grunted. II indeed
the instinmenl ilselt admitted any doubt upon
the subject, it appears to me that that doubt is
removed by the history ol too | rocoedings ol
the Convention winch framed the Constitu
tion, and by the expositions it. received cotenr
poranemisly with its formation.
la a United States Hank expedient 1 It is
unquestionably true that dining po liens ol the
periods ol time, through vvlncn the charters
of the two Hunks incorporated hy Congress
extended, the country enjoyed a sound enr
rency, and. loan eminent degree, facilities for,
and equality in, its exchanges. Admitting,
however, that these institutions were the solo
and efficient cause, and that they are entitled
to ah the credit Ilnur friends have claimed for
them, yet there are evils which residual from
them, and evils which must necessarily result
from tho re-nstahlislimei.l ot a similar insliiu
tion, which will more than counterbalance its
advantages. lis direct tendency must ho to
subvert the rights ol the fatales; to consoli
date tlie G iverinnciil, and to cn ate within it
n power that will be greater than the Govern
merit itself. Jt is upon the maintenance of
the rights of tho Suites us guaranty d hy the
Constitution, that depend the continuance ol
the Union and the liberties of the people. It
is the vigilance with which they have Inttierlo '
been guarded, that has secured their prosper- 1
rly, their rapid growth, and the harmony that :
inis existed among them. If cncruaclimeliis '
upon them should any where ho rosis cd with I
unyielding firmness, it is most assuredly in the
South, where her peculiar institutions, nay, I
her very exis'enee, depend upon their being
inviolably siist lined, ami upon the Constitution
remaining ns it is, and receiving the cons'ruc
tion placed upon it by those who framed it.
Hut it is said a United States Dank is expe
dient, to regulate the issues ol the local Hanks I
and to secure a cate currency. If to effect ;
these ohjec s in IHKi, it reqn red a capital of I
thirty-live millions, no one familiar with the {
increase ol hanking capital since that period,
will deny that less than double that amount
will now be required to cllbctihe same objects.
Now who can calculate the extent of infl i- j
once that can btrw.elded hy an institution of ]
such vast resource*, hav ng too in addition, nt j
its command, tho revenues ol the country ! j
It should lie borne in mind that if a Hank he I
again established, it must ho hy un Adminis- i
tration identified with, and hound to support j
it. is nto be expected that, that Administra
tion, that, any Administration, will ho so pure,
that in Us efforts to sustain n, it will lose shdit

Another objection that has been urged
against a Federal Hank, and certainly With
gn nt propriety is, that it. will he its interest to
ert ate a large surplus revenue, that n may de
rive the profits resulting Irons its use, anil
hence that its influence may lie exerted to tus
luin a high and oppressive lanfl.
tihjcctioris to such nu institution are numer
ous. hut I shall name hut one other; it is this:
• —Another scheme lias been devised, winch,
us I am induced to believe, will answer ad the
beneficial purposes that cun he expected Irorri
a National I! ink, while it. is at the fame tune
tree Irom the objections that, may bo brought
against the Bank, I refer to the plan ol a
('(institutional Treasury, as introduced and
advocated by Mr. Wright and Mr. Calhoun
in ilic Senate of the United Stales. While
I confidently believe this divorce ol Bank and
j Slate, (a union wliicb the framers of the Con
stitution never contemplated ) will regulate
; the excess;ve issues nt the local Banks, with
■ out injuring such as arc really sound and erm
, tent with the legitimate business designed by
their charters and consequently secure to the
people a safe currency, 1 also believe that it
, will do more than any thing else to rel eve
i i the South from the commercial vassalage
! which the United S'al.c.s Bank has been m
-1 slnnnon'al in fusioning upon her, ami to enn,
i i hie her hereafter to become her own merchant
and enjoy an independence in the commerce
growing out of the productions of her own
j , sail.
i | The resolution also calls upon mo to make
known my choice lor the next President, be
jivv' on Mr. Van Ihircn, Clay, Webster and
Il.h'i 'son. Mr. Van Buren is decidedly my
I choice'. He has been the (inn, consistent and
I unyieldn./r advocate of State lights. He has
j stood shot i. 'er to shoulder with Macon and
j Smith and Oavi'furd, battling in their defence;
and when (he latter aspired to the chair
which he now fills and was enceringly do.
j imunced as the radical by the friends ol
a liberal const ruction of Jim Constitution. Mr.
Van Buren was one of his ii.’ogl zealous friends
and faithful supporters. But w. thoul reference
to his previous acts, the course' I bat lie lias
pursued since he has occupied his present el
evation, gives him, in my estimation,a’ decided
chi'in to the support of the South over 'toy of
Ins competitors. Upon the great, the absorb
ing question in which (Ins portion of the
Union (eels a deep and abiding interest, In.’
J has done all that could he reasonably expec
ted or desired. Jn Ins inaugural address, he
look a hold and decided stand to arrest the
progress of fanaticism nt the North and to al
lay the apprehensions of the South. II s first
j act drew down upon him the denunciations
| ol Ihe Abolitionists and they have continued
his steadfast foes. In the two appointments
| ho has made in his cabinet, lie lias evinced
fits regard to our interests and our feelings.
1 Mr. Poinsett is a Southron by birtb and edit
-1 cation—m nil Ins feelings. Mr. Pauldinir is
endeared to ns by bis able defence of onr m
! sliiulions. His friends too have bien our
j friends. In all the agitating discussions that
have taken place in Congress affecting onr
rights and interests and feelings, they have
voted with and for the South. The princi
pics upon which Ins admin stratum lias boon
conducted and which it is pledged to support,
j arc the principles embodied in the address
j lately udouledhy the republican members ol
1 Congress—and are the principles by which
alone our Government can bo sustained and
j flourish.
j Clay 1 consider an unsafe depository
! of the power vested m the Executive of (he
nation. He is the advocate of a National
i Bank, of internal iiniiroveincnis by the Gene
> ml Government, and ol a liberal construction
]of the Constitution, lie is the father of Iho
j tariff; miscalled the American system—a sys
tom rendered doubly odious from the fact that
its tendency was, and, as has been alleged by
i some of its most uncompromising opponents,
[ its covert design, to render valueless slave la*
j bor, that it night prepare those who are in
j turesled in it for its complete abandonment. 1
will not behove that Mr. Clay is even tin -in-,
j red with Abolitionism as it is advocated by
| the lanat es of the North and West, but if wo
I givo credit to Ins biographer and to his own
j repeated declarations, wc can come tone
i 01 her conclusion limn that he looks upon
slavery as amoral evil—in other words,
that he is a gradual emancipationist. The
slave holding (States have long enough
been injured by those within tboir own bor
ders, who are apologists for an institution
which is susceptible of defence upon the broad
principles of right and justice, and when they
lend tln ir aid to elevate one of their own sons
lotho highest office in the gill of the nation,
1 hope he will be one who will not by Ids prin
ciples be constrained to use the power that
may be placed in 1 1 is bands to relieve the
country from what he acknowledges to be a
moral evil. Such a Pres dent, in these days,
is more to be dreaded (ban the boldest cham
pion m (lie ranks of Abolition.
Os Mr. Webster and Gen. Harrison, 1 need
say but little. Both are obnoxious in most of
1 tin) objections urged against Mr. Clay; and
in addition, the one is a rank Federalist, and
the other is, or Inis been an Ahohlioni-t. New
I tber can in tiny event receive tiny support from

The Records of the I’ust.
e It has become a very common practice of Into
for the presses ol the Administration, to denounce
h s Federalists, all who are in favor of a National
Can't, ond al the same lime to declaim against
such a.t institution as having been always a
1. Federal n.casurc from its first incorporation down
f to iho present period. An attempt is now making
1 to divide the B.alo Rights parly of Georgia, by
setting up ibis que slion, as a lest of republicanism
and excluding from the parly ns hcictics, all who
do not join in thcgenci denunciation of a Cank
as a measure of Federalism. To point out to
the Stale Rights parly the folly of suffering itself
to ho divided by the artifiges «'f its opponents,
and - o show that a National Bank ‘' ll,s ncvcr hecn
made u teste question, we now of, ’teal ,( ) the
recoids of tho past. In doing ibis vve have no |
disposition lo bring forward this question Atr ‘ha- i
cusstou in Georgia, differing as wo do fn.',* n a |
largo portion, perhaps a majorily of our polities[
friends, ft may perhaps he interesting• to some |
of those who were in the Congress of 1810, to ]
have their memories refreshed as lo the parts
which they aclctl at that period; uiul it may ho |
instructing lo those who have conic upon the
stage of action since, to he informed as lo the
position nf men and parlies, when ihe lato United
Stales Hank was chartered.
It will he remcmbcicd that Mr. Madison, a
republican of the old school, and u member of j
the Convention which framed the Federal Con- !
solution, was then President of the United Stales, j
aitd gave his sanction to the bill by which tho i
Bank was chartered. If it was Ihcn a measure
of ihe federalists, that old gentleman would
hardly have touched it with a “pair of tongs.”—
We now proceed lo show who were then mem
bers of Congress; who were Republicans, who
Federalists, and how each member voted upon
the passage of tho bill. We have before us a
volume of tho National Register, published al
Washington City in 1810, by Joel K. Mead, a
republican, which contains a complete list of the
names of the members of Congress that year,
designating the political character of each mem.
her; by which it appeals that there were in the
Senate 3, r > Republicans and 11 Federalists, and
in the House of Representatives 117 Repuhli-
I cans and 05 Federalists. It would seem to our
1 1 humble capacity, that if the Bank charier had
| been a federal measure, there were certainly re
-1 | publicans enough in both Houses, backed as t.iey
1 1 were by a republican President, to have deleated
I
j|it ! Let that pass. The bill originated in the
i House, and we shall therefore give the vote upon
i its passage there first, giving the vote by Stales,
i lo show from what quarter of the Union each
" member hailed ; the Republicans in Roman letters
and the Federalists in Lalies, On the final pas
-1 sago of the hill, the Veas were 80 and the Nays
17 members absent.

Thus it will bo seen that of those who voted

Having shown who supported the Bank, and
1 what were their political characters, we now pro

r | Thus it will he seen that against the bill were

publican party in opposition to the Federal party,
, and that cither republican Georgia, or republican
Virginia, or that most consistent, unvarying, un
changeable and republican Sla'c of South Caro

. , which he expresses more fully his opinions upon
I the specie feature of the sub treasury scheme,
, than be did in his letter to Mr. Towns, of Alabama
, j "I regard the scheme of exacting specie pay
| ment of the government dues, to the exclusion of
’(the bills of specie paying banks, as a measure
1 j fraught with such deleterious consequences that I
s | do not believe it would lie endured. Specie is
I not our currency; it is merely a standard to which
g | we refer, by means of the exchanges, t 0 ascertain
j when the currency is redundant. Paper credit
j is our actual currency, and to destroy that, would
l be to produce one of the most unjust and ruinous
1 | revolutions which ever desolated the earth.”

By the New York Courier ami Enquirer of
the 13ih,we learn that a violent gale Jrom the
north east, accompanied with heavy rain, com
menced on the evening of the 12th, and continued
| without intermission until an early hour the fol
lowing morning. “The gale has, as far as wc
have learned, extended along a considerable por
tion of the coast, and we fear must have been se
verely felt hy the shipping off shore. In the Bay,
this morning, the telegraph reports the ship Lou- |
isa, arrived last night from Liverpool, ashore,
another ship, unknown, entirely dismasted, and j
five other ships and seven brigs, all at anchor, j
which had safely ridden out the storm. A brig, :
schoonor and two sloops, lumber loaded, are also
ashore on Governors Island. In the city, the j
storm has also hern productive of much damage. 1
j A new three story brick house, nearly finished,
has been blown down in 32nd street, and the do- ‘
siruclion among trees, &c., has been very great,
particularly in the Park, where fourteen fine trees |
have been blown down, and several others much i
bent and injured.”
The South Carolina Legislature of last year
wa- about as consistent, m its action, as its
great fugleman, Mr. Calhoun, is in his opin
ions. It expressly declared, in the charter of
ns mammoth twelve mill ous Had Road Hunk,
that the notes of that Institution shall he re
ceivable m payment of taxes or dues to the.
State; and yet, at the same time, declared ■
! that “bank nigs” were not good enough for
j the National Treasury! Now, we should like
to kuow, it it be sound policy m the Federal
government torej-ct Bank notes, why the
State governments shou d not do the same
tiling] And vice versa, if Bank notes are good
enough for the State governments, why are
they not also good enough for the Federal gov
eminent?—Lynchburg Virginian.
Mon Law of Halifax, N. S. Desthoc
thin of PnopF.li ii—Several houses were des
troyed hy a moh of sailors and soldiers, at Halifax,
1 N. S , on the evenings of the 3t)th and 2isl July
last. The character ot the houses was of the
! worst kind, and they were near the barracks. A
| sailor was robbed in one of them, and an allerca
i lion ensuing between him and ihc landlord, he
was cruelly beaten, and a report spread Ibat he
was killed.’ A number of sailors and soldiers i
j assembled round ibe bouse, determined to pull it j
I down. They were goon reinforced; the cry of
‘•Revenge Murder!” was raised, and destructive
| missiles of all kinds were hurled at the windows
and doors, and final y entrance being forced, the
mob entered and sacked it completely, leaving not
an article of furniture entile. This house was
owned by J. H. Flohr, and occupied by a man
named Cooper. On the next night, Ihc mob
assembled again, encouinged by two or three
thousand spectators entered the next house, own
ed also hy Flohr, and drove out the inmates, but
the house was only slightly damaged. An attack
was then made on the next, owned by tlie Hon.
J. 15. Uniacko. and occupied by a colored woman,
It was completely rifled and reduced to a wreck.
They next proceeded to the “Castle,” so called,
(near the Town Clock) destroyed the windows,
and did all Ihc damage they could there. A
house in the icar was served in the same manner.
These buildings belonged to Mr. James Cooke.
The house on the opposite side, owned by Mr.
Thoinum, was also rifled. A detachment of the
2,'5d and 93d ipgiments were called out, but they
did not interfere with the mob, who were permit
ted to go on until the work of revenge was
accomplished. The Halifax papers have been
loud and hi ter in their denunciations of Ihc mob
spirit in Ihc Uoi ed Slates, and have called ii
one of the fruits of out form of government.—
They may now “look at home.” —Hu stun Tran
script.
Errors of typography.—'Flic following
laughable occurrence happened at a small
town in Worcestershire. A printer having
been applied to to print a notice for closing the
shops, etc., on the day of the coronation, by
some mistake, purposely or accidentally made,
the letter C was pul in place ot S which made
l it as follows : “No'ice is hereby given, that
all the tradesmen have agreed not to open
their chops on the coronal.on diy.” This, of
cours", Wits an unlucky announcement for
many, when the roast beef and plum pudding
' came in view.
' A corporation.—Mr. Howel Walsh, in a
corporation case tried at the Tialee assizes, oh.
. scived, that “a corporation cannot blush. It was
! a body, it was true: had certainly a head—a new
one evciy year—an annual acquisition of intelli
gence in every new lord m.iyor. Arms he sup
j posed it had, and long ones 100, for it could icach
i at anything. Legs, of course, when it made such
.'■mg strides. \ throat to swallow the rights of
iI K - community, and a stomach to digest them!—
Rut w hoever yet discovered, in the anatomy of
any cor t . 1 ' >ratlon i either bowel* or a heart.”
What constitutes a vagrant!—The
Knickerbocker - 'dates a good anecdote of a
well known vaguln?- ‘d, who was brooght be
fore a mag’slrate as -i common drunkard.
Having suddenly harpoo -, ed a good idea, he
pu led Irom a capacious pocket o( his tattered
coat a loif of bread, and half .‘d a dried cod
fish, and holding them up, with a triumphant
look and gesture, to the magistrate', exclaimed:
I ‘You don't ketch him that way! I’m no
| wagrant.—A n't them wisible means o’ sup
i port, I should like to know!”
Tnr, Grave of Jefferson.—At the rcccn
i Harvest Home celebration in Delaware counlv
Mr. George I.iipcr stated that he lately visi ed
J the grave of Mr. Jetlcrson, and found it in a for
. lorn condition. It is on the estate at Monlicello,
which, wc believe, is owned by Lieutenant Levy,
now in Europe. Mr. Leiper says—“ The neglec
ted and dilapidated home of the patriot and phil
j osopher showed the ravages of lime, and the
whistling wind of a cold December morning pier'
I cing every crevice of this cclebra'ed mansion gave
a solemniiy to the occasion, and a scope to re(lec„
[ lion not easily to be foigotten. The only person 1
I met there was a polite old Irish lady, who, for n
; small fee, gratified the curiosity of the stranger
| and travel.er by throwing open the empty and
cheerless rooms for their inspection. How chan
ged every thing was from what it had been Pal
! riolisin, philosophy, family lashions, friendship,
| all had fled and vanished with the master spiri
who diiecled them. Alone I visited his grave.
The gale of the garden was open, and on the
right side, a short distance Irom the enhance, a
lew bricks laid on the fiat side distinguished the
grave of Jefferson from the others within the en
closure.
