A U G U STA.
FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 26.
The constitutionality of a National Bank has
been a disputed question ever since the first pro
position to charter one. Its opponents have urg
ed with much force the objection that the power
to charter a bank was rejected by the Convention
■which framed the Constitution. The following
extract from Mr. Jefferson’s notes made at the
time, explains that matter quite satisfactorily.—
Governcur Morris was, we believe, a member ot
the Convention, and also a member of the Con
gress that.chartered the first bank, and voted for it.
Notes-on Hanks.
March the lit//, 1798.—When the Bank bill
was under discussion in the House of Represen
tatives. Judge Wilson came in, and was standing
by Baldwin. Baldwin reminded him of the fol
j lowing fact which passed in "the grand conven
tion.” Among the enumerated powers given to
congress, was one to erect coiporations. It was
on debate struck out. Several particular powers
| were then proposed. Among others, Hubert Mor
iris proposed to give congress a power to establish
a national bank. Gaverneur Morris opposed it,
observing that it was extremely doubtful whether
the constitution they were framing could ever be
passed at ail by the people of America; that to give
it its best chance, however, they should make it
as palatable as possible, and pul nothing into it
not very essential, which might raise up enemies;
that hi’s colleague (Robert Morris) well knew
that “a bank” was in their State (Pennsylvania)
the very watch word of party; that a bonk had
been the great bone of contention between the
4 two parties of the State, from the establishment of
their constitution, having been erected, put down
H erected again, as either party preponderated; that
therefore, to insert this power, would instantly
enlist against the whole instrument, the whole of
the anti-hank party in Pennsylvania. Whereup
on it was rejected, as was every other special
i power, except that of giving copy-rig.its to au
thors, and patents to inventors; the general power
of incorporating being whittled down to his shred.
Wilson agreed to the fact.— Jefferson's Memoirs.
The following extract from Mr. Madison’s let
ter in 1831, explains his views of the matter.—
Being a doubtful question, Mr. M. thought that
'x the action of Congress and the Judiciary, and ac
■jl quiesced in by the people, and all constituted au-
B thorilies for so long a period, had fixed the con
struction in favor of the power. Thisisundouht
« ediy a strong view of the matter and a very cor-
B reel one.
Extract from Madison's Letter to Mr. Ingersoll,
dated, Jane, 1831.
That there may be extraordinary and peculiar
circumstances controlling the rule in both cases.
may he admitted : but with such exceptions, the
rule will force itsclfonthe practical judgement of
the most ardent theorist. He will find it impos
sible to adhere to, and act officially upon, his
B solitary opinions as to the meaning of the law or
9 constitution, in opposition to a construction re
duced to practice, during a reasonable period of
time; more especially where no prospect existed
of a change of construction by the public or its
m agents. And if a reasonable period of time,
■ marked with the usual sanctions would not bar
the individual prerogative, there could he no lim
itation to its exercise, although the danger of
error must increase with the increasing oblivion
■ of explanatory circumstances, and with the con
tinued changes in the import of words and
B phrases.
Let it then he left to the decision of every in
telligent and candid Judge, which, on the whole
is most to he relied on for the true and safe con
k struction of the constitution, that which has the
uniform sanction of successive legislative bodies
tkfough a period of years, and under the varied
ascendency of parties; not on that which depends
upon the opinions of every new legislature, heated
r us it may he by the spirit of party, eager in the
pursuits of some favorite object, or led away by
the eloquence ami address of popular statesmen,
» themselves perhaps under the influence of the
B same misleading causes.

I shall at once put you out of suspense with
respect to the anxiously looked for Steam Ship.
Neither of them have yet arrived up the present
writing.
Money matters have been looking rather bet
ter here towards the close of the week, and the
arrangement just perfected by our country banks,
for the redemption of their notes in the city at a ’
regular and moderate rate of discount, is regard
ed as very satisfactory.
Still things are looking gloomy, and the com
plaints cs to the scarcity of money continues on
nil sides. Favorable advices from England would j
however, do much to improve affairs here, and 1
such may be roeeted here every month,

For the. Chronicle and Sentinel.
Messrs. Editors: —l observed in your paper
a day or two ago, a communication over the sig
nature of ‘‘ A Planter,” the object of which seem
ed to be to discredit the Ocmnlgee Bank of Ma
con. I, for one, am in favor of the four per
cent, law, and think it a very good one, and that
the present, are just such times as require it to be
made use of. That law was made for the pro- 1
tection of banks against brokers and other banks;
to prevent them from being unnecessarily haras
sed by runs, made upon them for speculation and
ndividual profit. At the presenttime, exchange
on New York is worth about three per cent;
the cost of transporting specie thither is about
one per cent., or perhaps less; so that upon every
dollar a broker can draw from the banks in spe
cie, he can make a clear profit, of two per cent,
by shipping it to New York, and drawing against
it. This operation benefits nobody but the brok
er; on the contrary it injures every body else by
disabling the hank from doing business for the
benefit of the public. Now I ask if it is right
that the whole community shall be made to suffer,
when sufforcnco is already scarcely tolerable, for
the benefit of a few brokers and obstinate banks'!
1 answer no! and every true planter in the State
will answer no! I justify the course of the Oc
mulgcc Bank—it had a legal right to avail itself
of the four per cent, law, and I am glad that it
did. I hope it will do so again and again when
ever its bills are presented for the purpose of in
dividual speculation, and I guaranty that it will
find itself justified in the eyes of the community.
The whole object of the publication of “A Plant
er” is to cast a suspicion upon the bills of that
institution in order that they may be bought up
at a large discount and handsome profit made
upon them. I hope that object will be defeated
by the good sense of the communty.
In conclusion allow me to express the opinion
that the writer of “A Planter” is no planter, or
at least a very small one, his planting interest
not being more than a patch of morus mult.icau
lis. A genuine Planter.
Bennett, the curious and rather uncommon
genius who presides overtheNevv York Morning
Herald, gives some amusing sketches of Mr. Van
Burcn’s tour through the river counties of that
State. Take the following for instance:
The arrangements on board the Kosciusko, on
the part of the captain, were admirable; but the
scenes that occurred there were most amusing.
Every loafer felt himself authorized to step up
and address His Democratic Majesty, and annoy
and bore him.—A Captain Horsi-r, offtingSing,
came up, standing not over and above steady,and
thus lectured him;—
“Mr. Van Buren—(hiccup)—some call you
little Malty—(taking him by the hand)—but
that’s all d d stuff; some call you a d d
magician—l call you Mister Van Buren, (hiccup)
so you are, old fellow, aint you 1 (His Majesty
bowed.) Very well, then, I mean to tell you a
bit of my mind. 1 knew you when you was no
body—before you ever expected to be any !>ody,
by God I did—(hiccup)—and I’ve been a d d
good friend ofyuur’s, old fellow—l have, (hiccup)
by God. But they do say, Malty, that you’re
d d tricky; now, (hiccup) I’ve stuck by you,
and I mean to stick by you (hiccup) as long as
you (hiccup) behave yourself. But, by God,you
must (hiccup) behave yourself, (hiccup) and go
pretty d d straight—or I’ll walk into you
(reeling) like a knife, (hiccup) hy God ! I've vo
ted for you—(hie) let’s see (hie) —one, two,
three—two, three, (hie) —ah! d n the odds—
let’s takeadriuk, old fellow.”
His Majesty declined, and then a little boy,
three years old, named Martin Van Buren Brooks
was presented to him. “What’s your name, my
little fellow ?” asked his Highness. “Martin
Van Boren,” said the child. A very good name.”
said His Majesty, and gave the child a gold f 5
piece. Soon after this a dozen hoys marched up
before hi;n, and the leader, named Roscoe, deliv
ered an oration, a quarter of an hour long. His
Majesty, without looking up, replied, “My young
friend, those sentiments do you honor; and it you
retain them, as you grow up in life, they’ll be an
honor to you, and you’ll be an honor to your
country.” A companion of young Roseoc’s was
so mortified at His Majesty’s short and unmean
ing answer, that he looked His Highness indig
' nantly in the face, and patting Henry Roscoe on
the back, exclaimed, “Give it him over again,
Hen.; give it him again; he didn’t understand
it.”
His Majesty landed atPeckskill, and marched
up to the t ivern, where he stood on the stoop,
and received some of the citizens. A Dutcn par
i son addressed him in a long, rambling, rigmarole
speech, beginning at the creation of the Globe,
I and running down to the resurrection morning
j and the day ofjudgment. He also lugged in the
sub-treasury, abolition, the North Carolina, the
school ships and home squadron, the Maine war,
the kingdom of Great Britain and the kingdom
of heaven. Mr. Van Buren never looked up, hut
was [talc and wearied. A loafer in the crowd
cried out, “Joe, did you see how darned pale the
President turned, and how he shook when the
j parson told him about the day of judgment! An
, other loafer followed him down, soliloquising
thus : —"Martin Van Buren—(hie) —d d
scoundrel—(hie) —what the hell has he done to
he President!—(hie) —he’s laid an embargo on
rum, and—(hie) —on money 100, by God. Eve
ry body follows him—(hie) —and nobody fol
lows me—(hie). But when I get him on hoard
j the boat—(hie)— l’ll give him the d deal lick
ing—(hie).” And just then he reached the dock,
‘ fell in the river, and bad to be fished out.

important legal opinion of col. Joseph
>l. White, of Florida,
[COUNSKLLOU AT LAW.]
The undersigned has been asked Ids legal opin
ion upon the right of Messrs. Schmidt & Hamil
ton to organize and carry into effect a lottery un
der the laws of Florida. It appears that an ap
plication was made by them to the Legislative
Assembly of the Territory for such a privilege,
wh'ch was granted by the Senate and Legisla
tive Council, ami vetoed by the Governor. It
was ascertained that by a previous act in force,
and unrepealed, certain eomnds-ioners therein
named were authorized “to raise such sum of
sums of money, by lottery, in such scheme or
schemes, as they may deem appropriate or advisa
ble” to complete a Court House and Seminary.
The commissioners have deemed it “appropri
ate and advisable” to adopt this scheme, which j
they have a period, right to do. so long as the act
stood in force, and without limitation as to time. 1
It it is urged that such an act, for such a purpose, !
was not intended for so large an operation, the
answer is obvious, that the Legislature has not j
specified the extent or duration of tho scheme.—
The discretion is given to the commissioners,
who have acted upon the subject, and it is not in
the power oflhe Governor, Legislature, or Judi
ciary, to hinder or obstruct, in any manner, the •
execution of such plan as the commissioners shall !
agree upon.
1 am of opinion, therefore, that Schmidt & |
Hamilton have the legal right to execute the
scheme agreed upon, in concurrence with, and
under legal authority of tho commissioners. I
have seen the paper signed by the parlies, and
cousider it sufficient in law to authorize the
scheme for the disposition of the Arcade, and
other property in New Orleans.

Tim Nkw Oulkans Kkal Estate Lot
tkiit. —It is with feelings of satisfaction that we
are induced to lay before our readers the above
lucid opinion of that eminent lawyer, Colonel
Jos. M. White, of Florida, in reply to the un
founded assertions made by some interested in
dividuals, and also, we regret to add, in a few
instances, by the public press, against the legality
of the grant under which this lottery is to draw.
Our numerous friends, and even our enemies, will
now be compelled to admit that this is no longer
to be considered as a “hoaxindeed, the evi- i
dencc of such being the general belief has hither- (
to been so slight, that had we consulted our own j
individual judgment, Colonel White’s opinion,
would never have been taken—but we have yield- I
ed to the opinion of our friends, and taken his j
opinion—and behold the result—a most triumph- !
ant one!
Mr Louis Schmidt, the principal rnanager.be- !
ing also desirous of refuting any slanderous ob- I
servations that have been made, adverse to the j
validity and fairness of the lottery in question, 1
has come hence from New Orleans, provided with
introductions of the highest nature, and is fully
prepared to give such New York city references
as will he satisfactory to the most sceptical, and a
complete answers to the endeavors made by some
parties who have an object to gain, to cast odium !
on the concern.
SYLVESTER & Co, 15G Broadway.
From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser
Mr. Clay, in company with bis eminent
friend, Gen. Porter, crossed over the river yester
day, at the Falls, to witness the parade of the
43d regiment, and were received with all military
etiquette by the Colonel and his staff. 'The Col
onel very politely invited his distinguished visi
ters to review the regiment. But though Mr.
iSecietary Forsyth, a year or two ago, complied
with a simular invitation by reviewing a body of
troops at Montreal. Mr. Clay seemed to think,
notwithstanding tho precedent, that such oecupa- 1
tion of arms belonged to the soldier rather than to j
the statesman; and therefore declined his share of !
the intended honor in favor of his war worn |
friend, whoso title to the name and honors of a j
soldier, more than one English regiment has be- |
fore now had occasion to appreciate and acknow
ledge; and Gen. Porter took position and review
ed the troops. As the columns passed him in re
view, his thoughts must have reverted to the 1
times when on this same frontier, and in the very (
vicinity of the spot where he stood, British eol- j
umns were displayed before him for far dilferent i
purposes.
Amid the battles and bloodshed of the Niagara ;
frontiers, he little dreamed that in the very neigh
borhood of Lundy’s La no, and almost on the
trampled sward of the battle field, a British regi
ment would honor him ami the statesman whose |
eloquence and bailors in the cabinet, co-operated |
with his own bravery and services in the field,
with the peaceful pageant of n gala day review.
Henry Clay and Peter B. Porter are entitled to
the respect of Englishmen, scarcely less than to
the gratitude of Americana; and as long as the
splendid diplomacy at Ghent, of the one, and the
bravery on the Niagara frontier, of the other, are
remembered, they will enjoy it. fn honoring
such men, the gallant “Forty Thin]” honnrzd
themselves and the glorious country which they
serve, and which is the common mother of usali.

, I Sr rue f.M Piotobum.—A writer in the Lynn I
i j Record says the way the country apothecaries (
j ‘come it’ over the fifteen gallon law, is a caution, j
j Having an occasion to visit a neighboring town, j
-a few weeks since, he calb d upon an old friend,
i one Dr. Borax. His large bow windows were
■ | decorated with vases, containing tinctures and
nostrums of every hue, and medicines of all kinds
i j well marked and labelled, from the essence of
, Burdock to Brandrcth’s Pills. After the usual !
i ceremonies the two friends sat down to talk of !
• I by-gone. days. An elderly gentleman entered.—
. j “How do you do, l)r. Borax 1” said he, ‘I have a
1 most unaccountable pain in my shoulder, and
. should like a dose of your Pigtorum—give me
, enough to operate —for I feel much distressed.”—
IHe certainly appeared Vo be in great pain. Will i
the plain or tincture 7’ inquired Dr. B.
•Plain,by all means,’ said he. Dr. Borax took |
down the large vase and dealt him out nearly
two wine glasses lull of medicine. After adding '
a little water, it was gone to-seek the pain in the I
shoulder. c
•Scarcely had this operation been performed, C
w hen a small lad entered. ‘Dr. 1!., father wants {
eight drachms of your Stripum Pigtorum—he I
wants the tinctured.’ Down came the other vase, c
well tilled with crimson liquid, w hich looked for I
all tile world as it it might have served lor the (
drink of gods. Bacchus would at least have no 1
objection to partake ol a libation from the fount.
A pint measure was filled, the money paid, and 1
the lad retired. ,
Another entered, and called for a portion of i
Pigtorum for a maiden aunt: another and anoth
er came, some calling for a single drachm, some
tor four, some for six, and some for sixteen drachms
at a time. The last amounted to a full quart.—
The medicine vases were several times emptied,
in the course of a low hours, and as often replen
ished from the casks behind the counter. The
Doctor's visitor being puzzled to ascertain the
meaning of the term Stripum Pigtorum, was led
to smell and even taste of the contents of the va
ses, when he ascertained to his astonishment that
this had Latin phrase, being rendered into good
English, signified nothing more nor leas than
striped pig, alias Rum and Brandy—which was
dispensed to the good people of the village, under
the sanction ol an act of cite great and General
Court, which permits certain Apothecaries to sell
ardent spirits for medical purposes, and to he
used in the arts. So he called for a small por
tion of Pigtorum himself, and walked away' high
ly gratified with his discovery.
A southern planter having frequently witness
ed the depredations committed on his onion beds,
concluded that a young negro had stolen them
for the purpose of supplying his neighbors. Af
ter vainly attempting to extract a confession from
blacky, he gave him a sound thrashing, thinking
no doubt, if lie was not the thief, be should serve
as a proxy until 1 the real depredator was found.
On the following morning, the negro, seeing a
strange animal lurking about the garden, succeed
ed in capturing him and took him in triumph to
his master, who saluted him with, “What do you
bring that skunk hero fori” “Me bring him
here dat uiassa no more trash poor nigger ; —him
steals nsassa’e injim.jist smell he breflj”
RsurAHKAULi: Escape.— On the passage of
the ship Anaxatider, from New Orleans to New
York,« young lad aged about 14 years, from a
naturally frolieksnmc and mischievous disposition
■became so troublesome in his pranks that it was
'threa'tcned by the captain, if they were continued
that fee would confine him in a water cask. Our
youEgsler took no heed, however, and at his next
o fiance was put into the cask, which was headed
up, {caving a large hung hole for the admission of
air. That night the ship encountered a violent
■storm, and, in a sudden lurch, the cask contain
ing the hoy rolled over info the sea. The circum
stance was not noticed by those on board. For
■tunately, the cask struck bung up, and floated.
■about thirty hours when it was thrown upon the
beach at Cape St. Bias. Here the hoy made
desperate efforts to extricate himself from his
prison without success, and in despair gave up to
die. Some cows, however, strolling on the bench,
were attracted to the cask ; and, in walking round
it, one of the number, it being fly time, switched
her tail into the bung hole, which the lad grasped
with a desperate resolution. The cow bellowed
and set off fur life, and after running some two
hundred yards with the cask, struck it against
a log and knocked it, as wo say, into a cocked
hat. The hoy, thus providentially released, was
discovered by some fishermen on the point and
taken into Apalachicola, where a small collection
being made for him, he was enabled to proceed
north byway of Columbus.— St. Joseph Times.
Cold Water Ode.
The following two stanzas are from an ode j
written by J. Pierpont, and sung at tlic cold wa
ter celebration at Poston on the 4th instant:
Ye heroes of the bottle,
Who “ bumper” every toast,
Who keep your wine in cobwebs wrapped,
And make its age your boast,
The oldest wine your vaults have known,
Fioin prsss or vat to flow,
Is new to the dew
That six thousand years ago
Caine down to fill our cups one night,
.Six thousand years ago.
Ye champions of cold water,
Who quaff that drink divine,
Who've given your rum and brandy o’er,
And bid adieu to wine.
The bottles that ye crack to-day,
By God’s own hand are given;
Some in earth have their Birth.
And some are made in heaven ;
The granite rock and spring are those,
And these the clouds of heaven.

THLMJKKING SPUING.
THE proprietors of this natural curiosity, res
pectfully inform their friends, and the travel
ling public generally, that they are prepared to ac
commodate all who may favor them with a call.
The vet}' short period which has intervened since
their purchase, added to a scarcity of materials, has
rendered it difficult to improve as extensively as
they desired j yet they know themselves willing to
devote their undivided attention to promote the
comfort and convenience of visitors and travellers.
The water combines high medicinal qualities,,
containing strong impregnations of Saltpetre, Mag
ncsia,&c., ascertained from a partial analysis. VV«
deem it unnecessary to append to this notice, a list
of certificates relative to cures effected by using tire
water, as the doubts of the sceptical would not be
removed, and those who would believe, may credit;
the assertion, as such can be proved at any time.
Several cases of violent Uhcumatism have been en
tirely relieved; also Tetter, Scald-head, running
Ulcers, &c. Individuals laboring under Dyspepsia,
will experience great relief from the use of the
water. It is known to be highly efficacious in ,v*-
licving all cutaneous diseases.
It is due to ourselves and for the information »f
the public at large, to stale at least some of the
mineral properties of the water; and also the na
ture of some of the diseases which have been cured
at this place. We are aware of the prejudices gen
erally engendered by vaunting advertisements of
like character.

1 lie undersigned has the pleasues to inform the
jutiiic, that the elegant and cxten nvc arcommoda
.ums prepared for the reception of visitor? at this/
dare, will be entirely finished hy the 10th of June
icxt. Krom three to four hundred persons can be

I hero is an abundant supply of Ice, Wines, frc.
on hand. Amusements of every Kind will be with
in the reach of visitors. The t ountry around the
Springs admits of a variety of excursions, on horse
back or in carriages.
The Limestone Spring is a highly medicinal
water. In add lion to Lime, there is found Maguc
rui and Epsom Salts in it j and the great quantity
m Carbonic acid gas, constantly escaping from the
Spring, renders the water very light. 1 o Dyspc
tics, and persons laboring under liver cotrip'aints,or
of constipated habits, experience enables us to say
that this water is inva uuh e. if any visitor labor
ing under any of these diseases inis ever visited
the place, and not been benctitled, it is to us un
known. There are two line Chalybeate Springs,
one rising out of the Limestone Quarry, and live
other a short distance below it. in addition to Iron,
they are supposed hy many to contain other active
ingredients. Since they have been discovered.tbev
have been found in be very beneficial to many
weal; and debilitated persons.
Vliegrounds about the Spring are beautifully
laid out, and afford many fine and delightful walks.
Several intelligent and respectable gentlemen
have settled permanently at the Springs, and con
stitute at all times adelighttui society. They have
made their setl.ements with a two-fold nbiecl,
health and the education of their children. For
this latter purpose they have established two ex
cellent schools—n Ma e Academy, under the di
rection of Mr. Uoosa. and a Female Academy un
der the care of Miss Williams, Both schools merit
every encouragement—they are well conducted,
and imparting to their respective pupils, sound and
good education. Families visiting the Springs,will
have the opportunity of placing their children in
these excellent schoo s. Mr. Sunnier, .f ill teach
Music during the summer months, his qualifications
arc equal to any instruction which may he required.
A competent instructor or instructress in Dancing,
is expected, and will be certainly in attendance to
nstruct all who may desire it.
These are some of the inducements whichare pre
sented to the public, to favor the Limestone Spi lags
with their patronage. When il is remembered that
this establishment owes its foundation to the liberal
ity ami patriotism of many gentlemen who have
advanced large sums of money for the purpose or
presenting to the people of South Carolina and
Georgia, a place of health and relaxation, almost rt
their own doors, itus to be hoped that it will not
languish, decline and die for the wantof patronage.
The thousands expended in Northern travelling
may be saved, ami the people of the seaboard and
the mountains may enjoy all the mutual benefit of
travel and intercourse.
To the religious public the undersigned would
say, that gaming and all such gross irregularities as
would fie offensive to them, arc prohibited at this
establishment. Arrangements arc in progress for
having divine service on every sabbath, which wc
hope and believe willhe successful. Persons can be
as private,secluded andietiredas they please.
For Dyspeptics and invalids a separate table will
lie prepared, where they can have every accommo
dalion ttiey may require.
The universally admitted salubrity of the cli
mate, together with the immense mineral produc
tions of the neighborhood, will open a field for spec
illation and amusement for leisure travellers.
In addition to the above inducements, we have
six arrivals and departures oPmails, each week. —
