F*TBKbicK<««imo,September 14,1937.
*——• Von desire me lo give you my
thoughts cn the present stale of public affairs,
Tti« field is vast, ami wrapt in gloom; and I
ivive.au much and such anxious thought on my
mindi upon so many & such inter* a. tug topics,
dial an attempt to condense my genviul views
us lliem in*o a letter, would lie vain. There,
fore, I shall only advert to a few striking re.
cent occurrences, which have made not only
deep impressions upon m.', but pamliar i< •
pressions, too, if I may judge from a compari
son of aentimenis with those with whom I
converse, though perhaps they may not be at
all new to yon.
One of the most remarkable of th.asc occur
rence* is the publication, in the Globe, of
Gen. Jackson's two tellers of the Uth ami iK)J
July last, m which lie recommend* a separa
tion of the Government from all hanks, and
the receipt and disbursement of the revenue
in nothing but gold and silver, and in effect
gives hit voicn (“a voice potential doable as
the Duke's”) tor the Sub-Treasury System—
denounces all Banks, and the whole mercan
tile body of the country, as “being money ma
king concerns, devoid of patriotism, looking
alone to their own interests, regardless of oth
ers"—declares that “the commercial commu
nity hitherto has been fostered by the govern
ment, to the great injury of tbr labor of the
country, until the mercantile aristocracy,com
bined with the banks, have assumed the right
lo control and manage lhe government ns their
particular interest requires, regardless of the
great democracy »f numbers, who they liclievc
ought to ho, and they are determined shall he,
hewers of wood and drawer* of water”—and
at to tlie Pet Banks particularly, charges jn
round terms, that “the history of the world
has never recorded such base treachery and
)x?rfidy as has been committed by the Deposits
Bank* against the government, and purely
with the view of gratifying Middle and the
Barings, and by the suspension of specie
payment*, degrade, embarrass ami ruin, if
they could, their own country, for the selli-li
views of making large profit* by throwing out
millions of depreciated paper upon the people,
selling their specie nt large premiums, and
buying up their own paper nt discounts of
from 'Jo 1050 per cent, and now looking for
ward to be indulged in these speculation* for
years lo come, before they resume specie
payments."
If Gen. Jackson doc* really believe that the
mercantile body oftln* country are at all more
regardful of their particular interests than the
agricultural or any olhm class of citizens are
of theirs, nraro at nil less patriotic—that the
merchants arc morn n mercantile, aristocracy,
than he and other great land hplder* are a
landed aristocracy —that merchants are not ns
much n part of what he calls the dcmoaracy of
numbers, us farmers, planters, artificers or day
laborers—or that industry and skill employed
in commerce, are not as mue.lt and essential a
)mrl of the labor of the country us industry
mid skill employed in any other occupation—
if ho really believes that the Deposito Dinks
have been guilty of the crimes ho lays lo their
charge—treachery lo the Government, treason
against their counlrv, conspiracy with Dublin
and the B irings, and felonious usury upon
thu holders of their paper—if he is sincere in
these opinoms, wli.it are we to think (I will
not ask of the chardy, hut) nf the madness
ofbia judgment f And if ho doea not believe
these imputations lo be just and true, and yet
otters them, what are we to think of In* candor
and veracity 1 It has been said that Gen.
Jackson's parasites have flattered Ins vanity
by assuring him of thes rong resemblance of
In* character to that of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Gen. Lafayette slid, when ho was in this
country, that Bonaparte always considered
himself elevated above the vulgar obligations
of truth, and thought himself as much at liber
ty to deceive his subjects in civil afTiirs ns his
enemies in war.
I do not won ler at any thing which Gon.
Jackson’s passions can impel hmt lo say or
do, or (rather perhap ) wliich'ihe malignity
n" others may prompt him lo any or do; but
Ido wonder nt the silence—the tamo, abject
submission with which the officers and mana
gers of the Doposilo hanks have borne the foul
imputations he has east upon them. After
having, at his instigation, expanded their is.
Hose* beyond their ability—alter having jeon.
nrJed the interests of their constituent stock
holders, in order to avert the effects of Ins
policy, and lo preserve mid promote Ins popu
larity, and by their imprudent compliance writ
his wishes, brought themselves into their pre
sent distressed and embarrassed condition—
after having contributed more than any one
class of men lo raise him above the laws, and
lo reconcile the people to the niicotjatitntios
nl and dangerous prerogatives he has claimed
for the Executive, and exorcised, over the
public treasure, ho now Itirns upon them—re
proaches them with the disastrous consequn
ces to themselves and in their country of the
error* they committed at Ins bidding, anil un
der hi* promise of protection—charges them
with altrocious crimes of which they arc
wholly guiltless—and they have not the
spirit of the worm, to turn when trodden on I
—Not one man ot them, so far ns I am infer,
med, has even ventured to deny the guilt im
puted to them. They, one and all, bow lo the
merciless rod with which he scourges them,
w ith as milch patience dChunvdilv as they otigh,
to submit lo|ihe chastening inflietiune of the
Deity. Is this to be imputed lo the imbecility
of conscious folly and imprudence—oi to terror
which confounds their senses,or loan absorb &
monstrous superstition? Davelliey lent their
uttermost aid to place Gen. Jackson in the Car
of Juggernaut—&. now, when the wheel* that
bear the idol along Ins ensanguined course,
roil over their own prostrate bodies, grating,
crushing, destroying, am) thu faithful follow
triumphing and rejoicing, to collect their man
gled carcasses, and cost them to the region
kites, —do the selected victims make it n point
of religious duly lo suppress their very groans/
There is otic man of them who has disap
pointed me—the President of the Bank of
Virginia. lie, at least, 1 thought, would have
displayed the spirit that naturally belongs to
him; I thought, that the Roane blood in his
veins would have boiled with Indignation m
the malignant, unprovoked and groundless
insu't upon Ins honor and integrity; 1 expec
ted lie would come out publicly, in Ins own
name, deny the foul charge, challenge Gen.
Jackson la the proof, and hurl defiance in me
teeth. But 1 have heard of only one expres.
sion of resentment which ha* fallen from tin
lips, and that was a most angular one: ho did
not complain of den. Jackson for writing the
letter in question, but lie said that “ Blair
was a fool to publish it,” Perhaps, he may
suppose, that the charges are harmless, be
cause they are too monstrous and absorb tr
be believed by any human being. You an
his personal friend, and (if you may speak It
him with the freedom which would not h iv*
been offensive before bis conversion to Jack
aonism) you ought to caution linn against snj
such false security. Y’uu should ask him.
whether lie canfluicr Imnscll, that he stands
higher, in general estimation, for integrity,
honor, patriotism.ability, or any kind ofmint
than Mr. Diddle once stood, and, ns he well
knows, yet deserves to stand. Von should re
mind him of the tempest of | ibbc odium
which (Jen. Jackson’* barges brought upon
Mr. Biddle; charges without proof, charges
which lie dared not to submit to trial by a ju
ry, though he admitted they presented u case
for judicial examination: you should re in int
him, how Gen. Jackson was able, amidst tin
din of that tempest, to overturn the baisnci
ot the Constitution, seize the whole powers o
the Government into his own hands, am
.openly prot! vm himself The (Internment
I Von mav shew Inm. how Int friend, Mr.'
j Ritchie, i* ci*-u now, without the least colour ;
.I of avideuee, charging Mr. B ddlc with “de* j
i sign* as daring a* hi* means are Insidious;" ,
pretending, llirt he saw Mr. B'ddle’s •- httU
, j finger in I fie late movements of the Umks nt i
Philadelphia;” that “it docs not suit Mr. B.d- ,
j die'* purpose*,at orc*mil, to bring hack the ■
} State Banks to a resumption of specie pay
ment*.—the people not being as yet dseen
, tented and sick enough lo call (or h -i a**:»-
. lance;” that “ho has plan* a foot, winch nugn
lostaitlc every patriot in the land; that if he
succeed* m fore ng a roeharter” (of the so |
| called Bmk rifthe United Slni-s, I suppose) I
. ; “from ilie country, we may well trumble lor
' her Constitution and liberties; a Money King
j will indeed rule over us.” You may a-k the
j President of the Dank of Virginia, whether j
j lie i* not as much a Money King,ns a Pre-i- i
I* j dent of a Dank of the Unite-1 States'! whether j
[ j lie agree* with Mr. Ritchie, that the greater or j
j smaller extent o( tbn Kingdom makes the I
I King more or less a Monarch, or In* rules |
more or lea* oppressive or hateful to hi* |
subjects.’ Whether (to be serious) bo dries i
not know that every word of Mr. Ritchie's |
, imputation* upon Mr. Diddle, is «« vile slung
ns Gen Jackson's imputations upon the D -
. pos le Batiks? which thy the way) h r very ob
, j vmu* purposes, be describes as the -nfitinous
tool* of the saint- Mr. Biddle. And then yon
may tell him, that, whether Mr Rilclne be
lieves, bis own imputations on Mr. Biddle or
not, be believes, that nf those to whom lie ad
dresses himsclf.therc arc many who will believe
them, and many who will pretend to believe
and will propagate them —which ia enough for
In* purpose: and that Gen. Jackson, likewise,
whether lie believed Ins charges against the
commercial community nod the Deposit)
Banks to ho founded in truth, or was con
scious of their injustice, certainly did believe,
and with good reason Iron) Ins past experience,
that they would be received with undnubling -
credence by those whom they were intended
to ndl imc, mid would lui repeated and resoun
ded through the land, hy those lor whom they
were intended lo work; and that was enough
■ for In* purpose. Lastly, and above all,) would,
if I was m your place, tell the President
of the Bunk of Virgiuu, what I most con
scientiously believe—l ball hose letters of Gen.
Jackson went written by him or suggested lo
- him, and published,to prepare Hie public mind,
or rather Ihe Democracy of Numbers, for that
special bankrupt law, levelled against the
Stale II inks alone, winch President Van Iln
ren ha* proposed in Ins r'-cont Message lo
Congress.
But, after all, why should yon nr I feel any
concern for tins cruel outrage on the officers
and managers of the Deposits Bunks, who rin
not feel for themselves, or (eel so little, that
they arc aide lo stifle their sense of the inju
ry, and to suppress their resentment of the in
sult! Ido not admire their stoicism. It is
■ too far tbovc human nature for my taste It
Inis not tlio merit of common prudence. Cre
dit is proverbially delicate and sensitive; it Is
the more sensitive for being in a morbid stale;
and the credit of a bank depend* chiefly on i
the confidence of the public in tlio integrity
of its operation*. Gan. Jackson, wo are told,
, makes n bis boast, that “he is never rush but i
from policy;" and truly, if tlio officers of the
Deposit*) bunks had followed hi* example, in
iln* instance, It would have been more to their
own honor, and more to the advantage of t heir
I constituent* However,theru was no necessity
tor rashness; they had only to deny tlio charges
and challenge llm proof. I have little sympa
thy with men, who to gratify Gen. Jackson,
anil to maintain h in in the exercisout monar
chical powers,and thereby to gel a share ul the
public treasure to trade on, having expanded
I thuir issues beyond their ability, and brought
I incalculable evils upon llivir own constituents
’ I and niHchiuf upon their country—their errors
I or (if you please) their faults, ere giievom
, enough, yet they arc entitled to justice; and
I am bound to declare my undoubting belief!
, that Gen. Jackson’s charges against them arc
wholly unfounded in truth. And, considering
that there are thousands, perhaps hundreds of
thousands of innocent stockholder* whose in
terests are involved in the Slate Banks, that
, their aggregate capital amounts to some three
hundred millions, and that the dealing* of j
those institutional and the paper currency i
I emitted bv thorn, affect, more or less, eve y !
. man in the community—l am obliged to sun I
pulbizo with the Bunkstbemsolres. With
the general question of the merits of the I
Ban tag system, we have, just now, iw- j
( thing to do; the system exists, and it - m
slitutOs ngreat national inten s . I deprivau* ;
( all rush and violent remedies tor its disorder*. ■
; and doubt whether any remedy cm be so el
teclu.il as tune. The healing art has ilseuv
, ed no sudden euro lor the .chronic diseases,
j It i* only the imposter and queak who will
dare lo attempt, or lo promise immediate re-
I lief, Tito true physician proceeds with w u’eli
. Ini patience and extreme caution, and fur front
feeling vexation if lie finds Ins patient inirae
table, rather humors his waywardness.
| To return—tlio time of the publication of
j these letters of Gen Jackson, their attending
1 ciicmVistane.es, and their connexion with olh
er fads which subsequent revelations Itav6
disclosed, cannot have laded to strike your
i attention ; bin they seem to me not to have
made the propet impression on the public : at
any r ite, for aught that 1 have seen, the; have
", not made the same impression on any body
' else which they have made on me. Theedt
i' tors of the G obi) told uj the letter* were not
J written for publication, and were published
y without Gen, Jackson’s permission or know
;r lodge; yet he Ins not complnnnd of any
breach of Ins confidence; and it, is rather too
lr much to expect the public to believe, that Ins
r correspondent would have ventured to make
l( «nch a publication, without being some how or
, other ussim-d thut. it would be no wise
/ displeasing to him. The letters hear on
their face, that they were written for the pur
!_ po*o of vilifying ihe commercial community,
n and the Deposit') Banks, and of recommend
lt ing a divorce of the Government from all con
~ neclion with them, and the adoption ot the
” Sub-Treasury System. They were published
!|- either with or icithoul the prev tons knowledge,
0 consent and approbation of Mr. \an Bttrcii.
0 Either way, the publication adonis a com
met. I ary on .Mr. Van Bnren's character, which j
i( eve i Ins friends, which Mr, Ritdvc himself,
;s “ with his deepest attachment to the man,”'
. cannot fad lo understand. On the one hypo- j
n thcsis.it shows the opinion of those around,
, linn, of his total destitution of firmness, ami
|s of the necessity of getting Ilia master to give
him too ferule or « fescue; on the other, it
|s shows bis own consciousness of the most la
j tneniablc imbecility. If they were published
ie without consulting him, then they were pub
r hshed by some persons, who enjoy more of
v ’ | Gen, Jackson's confidence than tie does him
self, lor the purpose of directing or driving
„ him, by the force of Gon. Jackson'* influence
. 0 over Ins mind, or by the terror of Ins disp ea
-0 I sure, to recommend a system of measures,
~ winch ho was supposed to he disinclined or
hesitating to recommend of his own accord :
“ and, in tins view, the publication was a gross
f insult to him, which surely any man. placed in
l s ’ his situation, would have resented with deci
sion and warmth, and would have quickly d -
vorced himself f rom all connexion with those
i[ who put such a public indignity upon him.
j. But the Globe still* rc’ainsiis post of the Go
eminent Official; so that the Editors have gi
n ven no offence. And there are coincidences
of opinion, in some essential particulars, »nd
nf plans, between the letters of Mr. Van
;c Buren’s recent Message to Congress, which
1( j 1 leave no doubt upon my mind, that the lel
te ‘ tors were published with his consent and hy
;0 his directions: published to shield Int own

You will say, perhaps; that Gen. Jackson
was the Gob that made the Ktso — you
will advert In the arts by which .Mr. Van Hu
ron won Gen. Jackson’* favor, ami thereby
attained to the {'residency, and tell me that ,
it is unreasonable lo expect the creature lo
shake offal puce his dependence on the crea
tor'. You arc, it seems, right enough—but
knowing how much all men arc the creatures
of circumstances, 1 had thought dial it was
not posHih e to place any man in tuch an of.
lice, whose mind and soul would not expand 1
and rise in mime propnrt on with die great ness
and elevation of Ins station. Mr. Van Horen
has disappointed even my very moderate ex
pectations. lie has Justified Mr. Ritchie’*
‘■deepest attachment” lo Ins person. Ilia con
duct in the very oulsel, bears plain evidence 1
on its faco, llial lie Inis not the self governing 1
capacity, the self-supporting mural courage,
the mind,the soul—-no, not even the amb Hop,
which ought to belong to die chosen Chief
Magistrate of a great republic. When James
1 i Ollll It oll hoped he would be excited “by the
impulses of Ins own ambition, which must find
Us aliment. In die safety, honor and tmppi
ness of his country"—he was looking m'o Ins
own brave, generous, chivalrous heart, and
a rule Cur the measurement of Mr.
Van Huron's ambition,that cannot be contrac
ted to its dimensions. Ho is “walking in the
footsteps of Ids predecessor” with a ven
geance! lie solicits Ins predecessor lo carry
a lantern before him, light him on his way,and
defend him from danger. Hut lie will find it
a Jack O'Laritern, at once tempting him on
wards and misguiding him, while none who
know what die light is will follow. But how
many will distinguish the true light from the
false, the siarofl/10 west from the meteor of
the marsh?
Gen. Jackson has acquired such an influ
ence over the people of this country, as no
human sagacity could have foreseen the pos
sibility of, and no human reason is capable
lo explain. You may look in vain in the
'history of the merely civil affairs of mankind,
fora parallel, or any resemblance. You may,
indeed, find quite a striking likeness in die
Actions ol poetry ; rend Moore’s lale of the
Veiled Prophet. You may find, too, ma
ny points of resemblance in Heathen Myiliol
ogy. The idolatry which took the fastest
hold on the imaginations of nten, and oven se
duced“lhe wisest heart of Solomon,” was Cull
of horror and —its Idol “besmeared
with blood of human sacrifice,” and attended
with “tho noise ufdrum and timbrels loud.”
Afterwards, in the milder systems of Pagan
ism which prevailed in the refined States of
Greece and Rome, there is another point of
resemblance, which is a trifle, yet I shall .non
lion it—their Jupiter wa < always represented
with life Eagle by his side, die thunder bull
in his hand, and a remarkably full head of hair,
and ho was llio most boastful of all tlie Gods.
And again, whenever a person was to he se
lock'd as die human organ of an Oracle, the
choice always fell on some old ‘vunmn on the
very verge of madness—a person (according
|lO ipy understanding of the phrase in Holy
j Wro) “possessed with a devil ;”and the Her
| vitors lUThe Temple contrived the fraud, exci
t il die pricsics-st 1 phrenzy, dictated the res
ponse, ami claimed ns their right and appro
!ll : t:"iI to themselves all the spoils won by
I their niip''stnrt s. 11 it dial which is most
| i “tihy of your notice remains to he mention-
I ed—wine men. who jn Ihc.r btntils e,mummed
; qml detested die Vile anil silly worship, yd
outwardly conformed to all ils rites, for the
; sake of popularity.
I remember hearing yon remark spine vears 1
ago, “tliai tin! persons who seemed to have
displayed dm greatest reioli of I or. sig it into
the consequences us clouting Gen. Jackson tv
the Presidency, were Tom Ruche ami Tom
Jlemon.” Tim facts arc indeed curious; bit
I am pvtsnuHod they did not foresee the full
reality and exact nature of the evil, or they
would never have given utterance to their
predictions. It never occurred to either ol
them, that it could overcome to such a pass,
dial /ie'would become a favorite of tile poten
tate lie had formerly reviled, and by dint of
Ins lavor, he able to take rank as a man of
abilities, ami acquire an imposing influence m
public affairs.
1 shall resume the subject in a day or two.
Yours, flic! T. W. M.

THE ANN UAL REGA'I TA AT CASTLE
GARDEN.
This splendid affair yesterday went off health
fully. The weather could not have been more
propitious. It was one of those bril.iant days
which characterize our autumn —of crystal purity
ami transparency —a bright sun—cloudless blue
sky and discing atmosphere—the spirits buoyant
and all the feelings excited by the stimulating in
fluence which the wholesome cool hieezes of the |
sea imparl. Our splendid bay was made mo c j
animated by the still fume whii h ruffled its bos- j
«m, and to which die swelling canvass of many
an elegantly modelled craft responded by liendnig |
down 10 it, as they wended their way over its {
broad blue bosom below Castle Garden, the spot j
fiom which the contending boats w ere lo lake |
their departure. There were some thirty thousand j
or more persona mostly ladies, collected on die I
Unltery, and on the terrace of the Casdc, and on
the wharf beneath the Castle, where,adjoining the
water .on the outer tide, an amphitheatre ol seals j
and places to accommodate the lady acquaintan- '
ces of those connected w ith the amateur associa
tion. Here also were admitted the the pr vileged
members of the press and oilier dilettanti. The I
starling point was a rakish looking black craft,
moored a little north of (he Castle, w ith her broad
pertmant flying,,and 11 band of music and the
judges 011 board. The bay in ihit immediate vi
cinity was covered with small craft—some sail
1 boats, but chiefly row boats, and amateur club
hoals in their appmpnate dresses, including those
who were to cento.,d for the prizes as well as oth
ers wno came out on the occasion to l« witnesses
of (the gJa. The whole number of those oar
boats was probab'y about 200. There were two
or three siesmers hoveling about llie course, in
cluding the Lexington, all covered with a dense
black moss of heads like sw arms of bees. Be
sides these, there were lew other large craft on
the course,much to the credit of the proprietors of
sail boats, and the numerous sloops mid schoo
ners, &c.. which sre always in port, be
ing left clear ns requested by the association.—
At the lap of the drum on hoard the judge’s boat,
at 8 P. M„ the skill's or sculls entered for the '
first r ce, four in number, sat off from the Castle
ami rowing a mile down rounded the vessel an
chored there and returned. The two Roberts'
(qne only of the two gentlemen who lowed this
boat hears the name) were, contrary to all ex
pectations, defeated. This boat as we saw when
she come up to (he wharf, was in a leaky condi
tion and had much water. The second great |
racs consisted us 6 oard host* of lbs associ-"m
mid of their giirsls, non* of whom h»d take ■ * o
prize. They were the Oavs -1.. Cleopatia, ' Ha, c ,
. f.Mewhurg 1, M ueiva, Car ver, and !'-■•* I, ((
Gazelle being the nearest Castle. h .<y set >‘.fi
at quarter pas! 4, and rounded its goal “I three j
floats anchored 2 j miles oown the bay. Ihe ha- 1
zelle coming in far ahead, having accomplished | j,
the 5 miles in 50 minutes. The Naiad did not gel
up to the stalling point 10 time. This was a beau
oiilul race. At 5 P. M.lhe great race look place, j v
vik the following C oaicd boats of Ihe association t 11
ti.eir guests, the Wave, Corsair, of Newburgh, j
Gull, Ariel and Halcyon, each with its apprnpri-1 j
aio Signal dig. and the costume and painting of 1
die boats different—like the hosts of the previous t
races. Tbe starting here also was as in pie other (
imps, perfectly lair; hut the Wave, tbe victorious c
Wave with her while flag and her gallant Rollins j
crew, soon slid ahead and made the 5 miles in I
33 minutes, distancing all her compeiitors. The 1 1
Wave is an entirely new heal —not rhcold Wave [ I
whose triumphs tune made her so renowned, hut {
the same crew. The Ariel came in 2d, and the |
: Gull the 3d. There was a stiffs. W. breeze, j
1 which with tire tide half flood, were both ahead I 1
going down the hay, hulin the same proportion ' 1
favorable coming I ack. When the Wave came j
in the was greeted with tremendous cheers from
all on the water and the castle, and the hank of j
music on the latter struck up National airs. A
mong the novel incidents was an India Rubber j
Life Mntiiass, containing Mr. Mclntosh, and a
while flag hearing the words India Life Mallrass,
and resembling Diognes floating abu.t in a tub,
his feet uulside and serving as a scull and rudder.
He was surrounded by die small craft who put
in chase of him; hut the way the tub navigator
kicked them off was a caution. l r pon the whole,
llie Regalia went off In a style gratifying in the 1
highest degree to the simulators, and no unplea- ,
sant circumstances marred the excellent arrange
ment of the association.
We saw the Washington boat fiom Pougli
kcepsie Willi the crew and appropriate costume.
They were observed by ail lo ho hardy looking
fellows lik* regular stout-armed whalemen. They
did not interfere. We understand she contends
to-day wilh the Zone of this city for SIOOO.
All ihe crews of the club hoals were young
men of slender make. At 6 P. M. every thing
being regulated in the most punctual manner, the
prizes were awarded by the Judges, Captains
Perry and Rnlgcly, and Alderman Paltbrson.

THE TRUE ISSUe!
On Monday next the general election for Go
vernor and members of the Legislature takes
place throughout this Stale. Qucs'ions of great
magnitude, and principles of great importance,
aro then to ho decided by the suffrages of the
people of Georgia. A number of influences will
he brought to hear, different in their character.—
To our minds the true question at issue is, Van
Boren or anti-Van Huron! A new ndnitnVstra
lion of the general government has just common
ced, developing its policy and ils principles, and
the result of the election which is at hand, will
determine, in the cyos of tho whole Union, lh c
position which Georgia is to occupy in reference
lo that policy and those principles. Should Gov.
Schley he re-elected, and a majority of the party
which supports him ho returned lo tho Legisla
ture, Georgia will ho set down as a Van Da
ren State Our adversaries, knowing tho un
popularity of the President, are endeavoring lo
make another issue, by crying out nullifica
tion, or Union, without being aide lo show how
that question is affected by the icsult of the ap
pr.inching election, save in the simple fact most
of those who oppose 1 tie measures of Mr. Van
| Hureti belong to tho Stale Rights patty. The
1 auii-Van Buren Union men of Georgia and es
pecially of Richmond country, agree with ihe
Slate Rights party generally upon all questions,
save upon the isolated point involved in Ihe doc
trine of Stale Rights, and as there is now no
question before sixi country likp'y to render sub
stantive action upon that doctrine necessary, and
as the principles of the present administration
aro now before tho people for sanction or rejo •
lion.it becomes the duty which every anti-Van Bu. |
ren man owes to his principles, to sustain those j
men, whose success will indicate the defeat of Van j
Buren in Georgia. If our opponents succeed in the
State &in this county,it will he trumpellcii loovery j
corner ol lhc Union that Georgia is for Van Buren.
ism; it will be blown upon Ihe four winds that!
Richmond county chimes in with the measures
of Jackson and the “ follower of his fools cps.’’
Shull this he ?
How important then is it, that every Anil-
Van Buren man in Richmond cmiiily should
support entire and undivided, that ticket which
represents his principles upon alt the important
questions now presented for his approval 01 re j
jjcclion! How important 100 is it that all such
| mm should rally with promptitude and alacrity
j lo the polls on Monday next, and then and there
| put the seal of their condemnation upon the men
j and tho measures which have prostrated trade,
j ruined the currency, brought the government to
j bankruptcy, and are now striving tosuslain them
! selves by building up a Loco Foco mohocraey up
| on tho ruins wrought by their on hands ?
We publish 10 day die announcement of Mr.

The fallowing article lias been handed us by a

This regiment is raised in lei; counties, and if

commenced, it will lake thrice as long lo collect
them together as any other regiment of militia in

Mr. Jones —Tbe following is an extract from a
letter ol the 29th inst., to a gentleman of this
city, fiom a source of the highest authority, and
which can he telied on for the truth of ils slate
meats, which you will please have the goodness
to insert as an act of justice lo Gov. Schley:—“l
find that ihe misstatements in the Uccoider, ami
the Chronicle & Sentinel of Augusia, in regard 10
Col. Nelson’s segiment arc believed in some
counties. They state that the regiment is row
in the field at the expense of the Slate. This is
untrue — not a man is in the field. All that has
been done is the organization of a regiment, who
hold themselves in readiness to inarch at a mo
ment’s warning, when future developements may
render it necessary; and the Stale has not incur
red one dollar's expense.
[FOR THE CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL ]
Mr. Jones—Returning home an hour since,your
paper of the 261 h inst., containing a communica
tion addressed lo myself and others, was put into
rny hand. I have barely lime lo say lam in fa
vor of the repeal of that provision of the law of the
last session, which authorises plaintiffs to take
judgment at the return term, of any case brought
lo the City Court, unless the defendant files his
answer. I desire its repeal, not because it re
quires that the “plea be filed by an tXj'-dttorney
at Law,” for such is not the fact. I desire its re
peal because it increases ihe facilities for giving a
fraudulent preference among creditors, already
too great. At the lime I voted for the act this
consequence was overlooked.
Respectfully, &c.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 271 h, 1837.
Memorials and petiriaus continue to pour into
both branches of Congress, remonstrating against
the annexation of Texas lo the Union; hut they
arc all regularly laid on lhc table according to the
rule which was adopted at the opening of the
session respecting subjects not embraced in the
message of the President.
The Sub-Treasury scheme was again the sub
ject us debate to-day: and Mr. Walker of Miss.,
delivered a lengthened culogium on the policy of
the government, and an claboiale piece of argu
mentative declamation in support of the hill.—
His views were neither now nor striking; and
correspond so entirely with Ihe Message, the
Globe, and other documents of similar pretensions
to character and slalesman-like opinions, that I
need not make any particular reference to them.
lie was followed by Mr. Morris, who offered
nr, amendment to Mr. Calhoun’s seclion, lo the
effect of prohibiting the reecivahilily of all notes
under f 20, and repealing gradually the provisions
of the joint resolution of 1810.
No one having manifested a disposition lo
speak on tho bill, Mr. Calhoun expressed his wil
lingness to adjourn, until to-morrow. This led
many persons lo imagine that Mr. Calhoun had
some other proposition to make; and Mr. Web
ster put the question directly lo him, whether he
intended lo olfer any other project? Mr. Cal
houn replied that his course in that respect would
he determined by circumstances.
Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Demon earnestly op
posed,and said ihey were ready to lake tho vole at
onecon tho seclion of Mr. Calhoun. The question
being pul, Mr.Crittenden of Ky , rose and deli
vered a most able, sarcastic and eloquent speech
against the whole policy of the Government on
financial subjects, and particularly against Ihe
present measure. When he finished, Mr. Web
ster made a motion to adjourn which was carried.
That Senator has the floor therefore for to-mor
row ; —and it is understood that he has prepared
himself to make one of tho greatest efforts that
have ever illustrated his congressional career.
In tho House Several resolutions of inquiry
were adopted 10-day which shew the disposition
of the-people’s representalivcslo watch closely
the proceedings ol tho Executive Departments.
Among these is one calling upon the Secretary ol
the Treasury for information respecting the de
| tails of the Sub-Treasury system,—how many
! Sub-Treasurers—how many new officers—how
j many new buildings—the expense of the whole
j —the salaries to each offic e, &e. Ac.—Another
I calls on the Secretary of the Navy to explain (he
I causes of the delay nr sending out the Exploring
j Expedition. Another proposes the subjecting lo
| Legislative enactment and regulation the discre
tionary power of Ihe Secretary of the Treasury
in the matter of paying members of Congress in
specie. Another proposes 10 look into the course
of Amos Kendall respecting the Express Mail.
The minority of the Committee on Elections to
day brought in a counter report reversing the de
i cision of the majority, and declaring that Messrs,
j Uholsmt and Claiborne, the silting members, are
not entitled to their seals. A brief debate took
place ; which was however, cut off by a motion
to go to tho orders of the day.
The postponement Bill was then taken up in
the Douse (it having been got out of Committee
ofthe whole late last night,) and Mr. Jenifer made
an able speech against it. He was followed by
Mr. Mennefee of Kentucky, a young and
promising member, who made his debate in a most
beautiful and forcible speech in opposition to the
Bill. The discussion is still going on :—but the
question will probably he taken lo night and the
Bills will undoubtedly pass. Col. Dawson of
Ga.—the true tepresentalive of your State in the
House—is expected lo speak on tho Bill.
