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 of ilselt ihiit it will not provide (dr the favors | conferred, some iccompcnse lo ho returned ? 1 Oihcrs may think more favorably oflminan ! nature, and arrive nt other fonelnsions from ' their historical researches, but for my own part, 1 frankly acknowledge, that 1 cannot Inn i apprehend that a Na'ionnl Hunk, such an one j in will he of any avail in regulalimr the cur r ney, will he an incubus upon Hie body politic and, no matter what may ho the sale Mirvrds that are thrown around it, that it will irmmpli over them all. and become a powerful political engine, winch will perpetuate its nwn exist ence. introduc uncial iy and corruption in to all the ramifications of society njnl u timate. ■ ly control all the opuraiuns of the Govern- i mem. !,ouk at the iiillnein e exerted hy the I late Hank -a i instiiuiion as hcneally maniac nl as we may ever expect anv other will be i Continually scrutinized in a I ,is movements. 1 and check, d in many ol them hy an Admin istration determined upon its overthrow, with n vast tnajority ol l ho (ample opposed to it, it fin insinuated itself into places ol power, that it required all the authority vested in tho K\- ven'lie hy the I onslilutiun and laws, and the | oxerciso ol a mo ul courage that mine other than Gen, Jnokstni conhl imvo “assumed the responsibility” to t xcr, to d teat its sirugules and terniieato its ex slcnce. 11 so great w's tlis influence cxer.ed hv such an mslituliun when oppo-od hy the Govorninont, liow over whelming may n become when Us mean are doubled, and when it is all cd with and sus tained hy the (lovermncnl !

This wo do when wo aid to concon- Irale capital at the North, by the establishment of n Nationnl Hank. 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 i me. 1 have now, 1 believe, fully answered all the inquiries embraced In tln; resolution. Willi great respect, 1 am your obedient servant, l>.

RHODES. J 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. i .

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.

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.
