4 THE INSURANCE BANK OF COLUMBUS.
"4W»’learn by the Republican Herald, that
the capital stock of this institution, has been
purchased by a company of individuals of Phi
ladelphia, at the he>d of whom, stands Nicho
las, Bnltlie, Esq. the President of the Bank ot
the United Stales. The object of this trans
fer, we believe, it will not be denied, is to
convert tins institution into a. Branch or A
gattcy, of the Bank of the United States, now
l?:: nijr under aeh r from the Legislature
fir the State ofPottnsylv.ania.
v. This nioveuieiil'up'.in the part of Mr. Uid
dlo, ta an extremely iriloresynjj and iutporlaiir
one. it is extremely interesting and im
portsr.t one. It is interesting from (he mag
|| nitude of the object ho may attain, in pursuing
the policy indicated in th’s transaction, and im
?; . portant from the consequences that may re
k’r suit, and will bo induced, by its effect upon the
~ J local instf iitions, as well as the political af
m fairs of the State It has already excited atten-
Njf lion among rival institutions, & aroused the in
t dignation of a portion of those politicians who
• have not forgotten their ancient animosity to
the U. S. Bank. The local Banks already
J ‘jl see in this movement an overt attempt to
ri; bring the domestic Exchanges of the conn
> try under the control of this formidable insti
| tolion. Their conduct reminds us of the
A scene portrayed in the bold vaunt of the proud
Si Roman.
•i “If ye have writ your annals true, lis there
, That like an Eagle in a dovecote ; I
•‘‘T Fluttered your Volaces in Coriulin."
The U. IS Bank with its thirty-five mil
lions ot capital unquestionably possesses the
power to cramp and disable any one, or even
all, perhaps of the local institutions, when it
shall be so disposed. We have said well,
therefore, when we pronounced this movement
an interesting and important one. Wc have
heard it suggested that this subject is of suf
ficient importance to authorise the Governor to
convene the Legislature, and submit to their
deliberation what course the Stale should pur
sue. Although we feel the greatest deference
for the opinions of those who have not hesita
ted to suggest such a measure, we nevertheless
are constrained to avow, that in our judgment,
such a course would be by no means advisa
ble. The object of such a call of the Legis
lature, would be to annul by their action, the
contract between the late stockholders of the
Insurance Bank, and its present purchasers,
the s ockholders of the Bank of the United
’ States; or at least interpose such obstacles to
the future commercial operations of this In
stitution, as will render the purchase any
thing but a profitable speculation.
It may well be questioned if the accom
plishment of such an ob eel bo within the
scope of the Legislature. In the considera
tion of this matter, the right of the stock
holders to dispose of their interest in the in
stitution, must be denied or admitted ; if ad
mitted, it must be ascertained if this right be
subjected to any restraint or modification ; be
fore the Legislature can interfere. The ori
ginal charter of the Insurance Bank of Co
lumbus, was and is held in law, as a contract
between the corporators and the Legislature
of the State. It has already been settled by
the Supreme Court, that the charter of a cor
poration is an executed contract between the
jgou rnnent and the corporators, and that the
®.egislature cannot epeal, imparir, or alter it
tagainst the consent, or without the default of
the corporation judicially ascertained.* The
question then to be finally determined, is, is
there a sufficient default or misuser, charges-
Me on the late stockholders of the Insurance
flank of Columbus, to author,se the Legisla
ture m absolutely repealing the charter. Tins
Might become a question before a jury, and
3 toi obvious reasons, we forbear to argue it
fin her.
It be alleged this object can be at
tained in another way by preventing the
circulation of the bills of that Institution.
Unskilled as we are in the science ot bank
ing, it seems to us, the very dread of
the local Banks is that all the bills ot the In
surance Bank would be withdrawn from cir
culation, and the bills of the Pennsylvania
Bank substituted in their stead. This course
would be perhaps the interest of the Bank to
adopt. It might be suggested that the bills ,
of the U. States and its agencies should be
prohibited from current circulation in our
State. How could the Legislature effect this i
object in relation to this Institution, without i
including in its penal enactments, the bills ot
thO Banks of oitcr States which now form

tabh to the people ol Georgia, in transferring

to tho Legislature for permission to establish a

have been promptly roused. A corporation
may contract with any person; it may con
tract with its own members, and it lias been
held by the Supreme Court of Massachusetts
that contracts between corporations were va

The stockholders of tlie Insurance Bank
looked to their own interest alone, when
they became a corporation, and we presume
were influenced by such considerations a
lone, when they disposed of their stock at a
large premium to another institution. In
looking to their own interest however, we do
not think they have sufficiently consulted the
interest of the State, in thus placing in the
hands of a foreign corporation, a control o
ver our domestic Exchanges, for which even
the Legislature of the Stale would be censur
able, if that body hail created an institution
and invested it with so formidable a power.
WUle therefore, we are constrained lo con
demn the measure, and sincerely regret that
such a transfer has been made, we would not
by any means countenance any violent, ille
gal, or extra legislative measures, to annul a
contract, which the corporation of the Insu
rance Bank ha ■ a right to make, a right how
ever in this instance, wo think, injudiciously
exercised, as tar us the Si ate is concerned.

THE INSURANCE HANK.
This Institution has changed hands, the
Charter having been purchased by a company
of capitalists at the head of whom stands Nich
olas Biddle, Esq., President of the United
States Hank of Pennsylvania. 'The capital has
been increased to 600,000 branch
es established at Macon, Augusta St Savannah.
The Institution, therefore, as now organized,
will enjoy unusual business facilities, having in
its power at all times to check or draw bills on
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Mobile
and New Orleans, besides having tlie capital
of Mr. Biddle’s Bank, ( Tairty-six Millions ) to
back it in all its operations. With a great
deal of pleasure, we communicate to the pub
lic the information given us by the President
pro. tern, in relation lo the future operations
of the Bank ; it is to Lc conducted purely and
strictly upon Banking principles i self interest
and the love of private gain is to be laid aside,
and the good ot the public consulted—we are
much in want of an institution thus managed ;
in tact it is impossible for a business communi
ty to get along and keep itself whole, without
bank'’facilities and accommodations. The
Treasury circular has spread a panic through
the land', and in all communities its presure
and tyranny has been felt. We congratulate
our fellow citizens upon an increase of bank
capital, which will be thrown into circulation,
and of the prospects afforded them once more
of placing themselves beyond tlie liability of
being shaved. The following is an extract

San-ta Anna.— Our last advices from the
left General Santa Anna at Louisville,
on his way up the river to Washington. The
objects connected with his visit are yet a sub
ject of speculation. The Richmond Whig con
jectures them to be the transfer of Texas to
the United States by purchase, to spare Mexi
co the mortification of having it wrested from
her by force, ft is further surmised that San
ta Anna docs not deem it safe to return at
this moment to Mexico, where during bis cap
tivity, tho faction opposed to him is supposed
to have acquired the ascendancy.
A correspondent of the Now York Courier &
Inquirer alludes to this subject in the annexed
letter, dated
Colombia, (Texas,) Dec. 4.
Our administration have made a bold stroke
of pol-cy, and in the propriety of which I have
fully and cordially concurred ; not only from
the facts and evidenca which the Executive
had received, but from the arguments adduc
ed iu consequence. On Saturday night last.
Santa Anna and Almonte, under the charge of
two gentlemen, were started by land for the
city of Washington ;Jand the concise grounds
for adopting this policy are, that Mexico
is in a state of revolution. Bustainentc will
take command of the roops against us and is
the known and avowed enemy of Santa Amiai
the parties of these two rival chiefs are bitter
ly opposed and some of the minor ones are
looking on to side the first convenient mo
ment with tlie strongest. If, therefore, Santa
Anna should personally appear among them,
it would throw consternation in tho political
ranks of his enemies, and fix the wavering
course of the doubtful; there will then be
two powerful factions-, and each will have
enough to do to attend to his concerns, with
out troubling themselves with us; added to
which, I have every confidence that Santa
Aamia will keep his faith with us. The mo
ment lie lands iu the United States he ceases
to be a prisoner ; consequently any treaty lie
may there make will be valid. He goes to
Washington at his own request, in preference
to embarking directly for Vera Cruz, to pledge
to General Jackson what he has stated here,
to wit, that he will immediately recognize our
independence on his being placed in power.

INSURANCE BANK OF COLUMBUS.
Tho purchase of the Stock of this institution by
the Stockholders of the United States Bank of
Pennsylvania, has produced a very considerable
sensation, and called forth severe animadversions
from a portion of the presses of tbo Slate. The
Constitutionalist, Southern Recorder end Feder
al Union denounce the transaction in the most
unqualified terms. We give to-day the rcmaiks
of the Georgia Journal on the snhjcet, and shall
give our own views upon the subject to-morrow.
Tho Constitutionalist of this morning in an arti
cle of some leng'h, argues against the admission
ofTexas into IheUnion, even although her hide
pendence may bo admitted by Mexico and all
other nations. That paper holds the position
that wo had better suffer her to rise up an inde
pendent and separate nation, ralhcr than take her
into the fraternity of republics constituting our
Union. We hold tho opposite opinion and when
ever it may become necessary, wo aic prepared to
sustain :hat position by all oltho humble ability
which we possess.

FOR THE CHRONICLE & SENTINEL.
"GREAT CRY AND LITTLE WOOL.”
We arc told that the Editor of the Constitu
tionalist, has laid aside divers lubrications, lo en
lighten us on the final result of the doings of the
United States Bank ; and he has turned soothsay
er, predicting mighty evils, that shall befall this
people when the many, headed Monster shall
reign in power anil with terror —“ ’Tis a great
cry and little wool.” We are not, at this day, to
bo told that our own Slate institutions cannot
contend against a branch of the United Stales
Bank, if located in Augusta, and uo one is so lit
tle conversant with banking operations, as lo be
lieve the whole power ofau institution, extending
over many Stales, can be brought to bear its
full weight on cither Stale; in that case, the very
scare-crow of friend Guicu, places itself in dan
ger from another quarter. Did not the old Bank
have a branch at Savannah I and do not all the
Stale inslitntions still exist I and are they not
all solvent still f In the just spirit of trade, the
United States Bank has concluded, that an agen
cy or branch at this place, would be of advantage
to them, and they make it—who is wronged by the
operation,our own Banks! Certainly not! soflong
as they conduct their business on fair and liberal
terms, they have nothinglo fear. Wo would ask
fearlessly, why are banking privileges granted?
The stockholders say, for our benefit; the edrn
munity say for ours ; we assume the latter, anil
that they have a right to avail ihemsclvcsjjof the
offer, as wc shall term it, of a branch at this placa.
Who among us does not believe it will reduce
the rate of exchanges; and should it reduce the
rale of interest also, will not the community he a
gainer thereby I Will not this additional capital
enable the planter to realize a belter price for his
cotton 1 do not wc all recollect limes, when the
price of cotton was lower than the market, for the
want of funds to purchase! With a rail road to
the Ohio iu contmplation, shall we say we have
enough capital in Augustal Wheu ! call
county meetings—recommend the call of an extra
session of the Legislature—adopt constitutional
~ and legal means to put down an instiution, that
must of necessity bo os advantage to the State
generally. “A branch is to be established at Au
. gusta, arbiitrarily, and that 100, without consult
, jug us.” Wonderful! arc you not, aware friend
: Guieu, that a few years prior to tho upsetting o
. ilia United States Bank, by the Gsneral, that
> our patriotic citizens so much lauded by you ac
' tually applyed to the United States Bank for a
branch hero 1 Do you suppose that Jackson's
Veto made all fall into his wake, mid so blind
to their own interest as to believe all correct that
cmcnatcs from tho head of our government! No
sir! Further, the question is not to be asked,
even by implication, ac to out patriotic citizens
serving as directors, they can be found men, whose
patriotism (as it appears a favorite phrase) is un
doubted, men whose experience has taught them
we want the institution among us. O.

ABOLITION OF SLAVERY.
The States were called for Petitions.
Mr. Adams rose and said—l have a petition
from 150 women, the wives ami daughters of
my constituents, praying the abolition of slavery
in the District of Columbia.
Mr. Glascock—l object to the reception of the
petition.
An inquiry was made of the Chair whether
the question was dcbateable.
Tho Speaker dccidcJ that it was.
Mr. Adams hoped, he said, that tho principle
ol non respectiqn, subversive as it was ol the con
stitutional rights oflris constituents, would not he
counle.nanco by the House. Tho petition might
be rejected, and the House, he believed, were but
100 ready and eager to reject the prayer of such
petitions. Ho complained that tho petitions
were not only rejected, but that the petitioners
were treated with obloquy and contempt.
The humanity and benevolence of the motives
which prompted this memorial ought alone lo
commend it to the respect and attention of (he
House. What had the House to fear from those
females! Blood, insurrection, and murder 1
' No sir, there is nothing, said Mr. A. of an in
flamalory character in the paper. I hope the ob
jection will be withdrawn. 1 appeal to the gen
tleman, himself a sou and a father, from consid
erations of icspect for those mothers and daugh
ters. The memorial is very brief, and I trust it
will be received and read.
Mr. Glascock said, in reply, that though the
petitioners were females, ho found that they acted
on this subject under a very improper influence.
No petition of the kind was sent here without an
object. They were all got up and scut here in
pursuance of a general system of agitation. No
man had more consideration than he had for the
motives which the gentleman supposed to actu
ate tho memorialists; but were ho a son ot any
one of the petitioners he would implore her at
least to withhold the expression of feeling and
opinion, which, however sincere, ho would assure
her were fraught with mischief lo tho public
welfare. Moreover, acting as the representa
tive of Southern mothers, he objected to the re.
eeption of a memorial which, however intend
ed, would have the effect lo till their minds with
apprehension and alaim. He was aware that a
majority of tho House were opposed lo this mo
tion, and that it would not be sustained ; but, he
should persist in it for the purpose of recording
his own vote in its support.
Mr. Parks said that no good could result from
the discussion of this subject. Ho moved, there
fore, to lay the question of reception on the table.
Mr. Reed called for the yeas and nays on tho
question, and they were ordered.
The question being taken, it was decided in
the affirmative, yeas 130. nays 09.
The memorial therefore lies over till next Mon
day.
Mr. Adams again rose and presented tho me
morial of two hundred and twenty weight females,
residents of South Weymouth, praying the aboli
tion of slavery in the District of Columbia.
Mr. Adams proceeded to read the petition.
Several members called Mr. Adams to order.
Mr. Chambers of Ky. made a point of order: was
not tho member under the 451 h rule of the House
confined to “ a brief statement of the contents of
a memorial.”
The Chair decided that Mr. Adams could not
road tho memorial, and must confine himself to
“ a brief statement of its contents.”
Mr. Adams appealed from the decision of the
Chair. Ho called upon the Speaker to say
whether be decided that a member was not in
order in read any tiring that ho pleased, as a pait
of his speech. If it was intended to suppress the
liberty of speech and the right of discussion in
this House, so help him God, ho would resist it
in his own person.
The Chair read from the Manual of Mr. Jef
ferson, and other authorities, passages which sla
ted that a member had no right to read any pa
per, printed or written, (not even bis own writ
ten speech) without the consent of the House.
But, independently of that consideration, the
gentleman’s attempt to read the petition was an
evasion of the 45th mlc, which confines a mem
ber to a brief statement of the contents “ of a pe
tition,” when he presents it.
Some discussion look place on the question of
order, in which the decision of the Chair was sus
tained by Messrs. Patton, Briggs and Chambers,
of Ky. and opposed by Messrs. Harper, of Pa.
and Adams.
Mr. Adams said he would compromise the mat
ter. He would withdraw the appeal, if the
House would suffer him lo complete his “ brief
statement” of the contents of the memorial. There ,
were but two more lines of it, and those he wish- I
cd tho House to hear. 1
He proceeded to read the “two lineswherein 1
the memorialists express their determination lo
present the same memorial every year until its |
prayer shall bo complied with. ,
Tremendous cries of “order” accompanied and i
followed Mr. A’s remarks.
The Speaker peremptorily ordered Mr. A. to '
take his seat.
Mr. Adams, instead of complying, raised his
voice, and continued his remarks, which were
however entirely inaudible, in consequence ofthc
loud cries of “order,” “order,” from every part j
of the House.
The Speaker again directed tho gentleman to ]
sit down. Mr. Adams having brought Iris “brief .
statement” lo a conclusion, took his seal, at the
same t me * lying, “1 withdraw the appeal.”
Mr. Glascock objected to the reception of tiro v
petition presented by the gentleman from Massa- ■'
chusetts, and proceeded to make some remarks, "
in the course of which ho was interrupted by ma
ny calls lo order.
Mr. Dawson, of Ga., attempted lo address the
House on the subject. His remarks appeared to
be deprecatory of any excitement on the question; (
but owing to the increasirtg confusion he was 1
not distinctly heard.
Mr. Mann. ofN. York, moved the previous 1
question, which was ordered to be put. The 1
main question, “shall the petition be received 1” 1
was put and decided in the affirmative,yeas 137,
nays 75, So the petition was received.
Mr. Haynes moved to lay the petition on the
table, which motion was agreed to, yeas 141 nays
50,
Mr. Adams presented another similar petition, ,
to tho reception of which Mr. Halsey objected.
At this point, (3 o’clock) this despatch was :
closed. Mr. Underwood speaking on the ques
tion of reception.

dalusia for three months, and hafiling all tho
troops of the Queen, by which it had been
constantly surrounded, was at length destroy
ed in a battle near Medina Sidouia, almost
within sight of Cadiz. Gomez had made an
unsuccessful attempt to retire to tho Tagus,
but was prevented by the presence of Rudd,
the minister of war, with a largo force inter
posing. Rodil was recalled lo Madrid, to
answer for misconduct in not bringing Gomez
to action: His army was left in command of
General Narvae , who commanded in the
battle of the 25th and 26th, near Cadiz Es
pisoza wms superseded as captain general of
Andalusia by Ordonez, his second in com
mand.
"Gomez had threatened Seville for nearly
a fortnight. Ho inarched down to Algosiras,
whole he had a slight action, in which an
English frigate from the bay took part in fa
vor of the Queen’s troops.
"It was reported at Cadiz, when the Alfred
left, that Gomez had been taken prisoner.
His army was entirely dispersed, and the
prisoners were being brought into Cadiz.”

swimmingly in London. One of the London
papers, in a notice of Him.’s Yankee charac
ters, enlightens the British public by informing
them that all Americans are not Yankees, us
vulgarly supposed,—hut,that tho Yankee is a
peculiar caste, found only in Virginia! —and
then proceeds with a definition of i lie Yan
