The following letter from Judge CLAYTON to the editors of the Georgia Journal will attach additional interest to the newspaper discussions, the expedi- ency of rechartering the Bank of the United States Mir MDurFIE has, in all probability, obtained credit for work which he never performed and his name may have been loaned in a Parliamentary way to the brokers of Chesnu and Wall streets for the pur pose of placing this Trojan horse in the citadel S- milar suspicious rest upon the long disquisition of MT GALLATN, which has just made its appearance in the American Quarterly Review, and which is SO different from the former compositions of that gen. tleman that we need not marvel, fine, too had fa- len into the arms of banker.

 Messrs Editors-While my Review of the Bank Report was publishing, received an anonymous let ter from of our commercial cities, informing me, among other things, that scarcely particle of the Report on the Bank ofthe United States, was penn ed by Mir McDuflie, but penned by those immediate. ty interested in employed Jy, the Bank; and that the following individuals tell who penned that document: Langdon Cheves, N. Biddle MT Inger- so &c &c." Now, concerning this matter, not only know nothing, but believe nothing. give the fact received it. Iftrue, it speaks VOLUMES. If not true the honorable chairman of the committee

 

 abuse the public mind of the alarming suspicion which such a circumstance is calculated to inspire For the sake of the purity of their deliberations Con gress ought to inquire into it, if there is the slightest foundation for such belief This much ,ce do know one Hundred thousand copies ofthe Bank Report have been published, at the expense of the Bank it has been repubshed in all the papers in the U. States friendly to that institution and particularly in cer- tain small paper, which from its great circulation charges d0llar line for every thing given to the public ill the nature of advertisements. And under all this strong and high pressure operaon the State Banks, in perfect cOnsternation, have gazed upon the scene, as if their eyes were set in death without solitary struggle to parry these deadly efforts de- signed for their future destruction.

 The United States Bank, at present, holds most mild aud concitiatory port towards the local Banks but just let it be again rechartered and my word for it they will be crushed like the foolish and fatal wor- shippers of Jugernaut, never to rise again; for once more reestablished, and its influence is fixed beyond all future control, even from the General Govern ment itself.

 There is one other idea, omitted in the Review, properly belonging to the question of expedency, and which 1 will take this occasion to mention n- There is no Bank, whose bills so much counter eited that of the United States. In the upcoun- try of Georgia, there IS universal suspicion of eve- " bill, of that Bank, that is in circulation. And these spurious bills and consequently the public sus-

 

 eiters come to learn that, if apprehended they can not be punished, because in ninety-nine cases in hundred will be impossible to procure the evidence necessary to convction and therefore this curren- cy must always be doubtful For instance, a coun- tereiter in the back parts of Georgia orges his bills on the branch of Maine, and Uice rersa. Now, how are witnesses to be obtained from these branches to detect the forgery? Will clerk come from Maine to Georgia, to prove the forgery ofa Fire Doar b? And fine will, will he do it more than once? The thing is impossibel I Now this evil will not, nay, cannot exist with the State Banks. We have expe- rence this subject, the best of instructors It was but at the last term of Habersham Court two men discharged for countereitng passing counter felt money (another very frequent occurence of the Branch Bank at Boston. Our penal code will not suffer the accused to be detained longer than two terms, for tria if he appear at each, and demand his trial This was done in the above mentioned case. The Solicitor General in the meantime informed the Bank, by letter, of the circumstance and at the second term, receiving answer nor witness, he was compelled to deliver the cuprts to the renewal of their dirty work. And this will be constant and growing evil throughout the United States hazard nothing in saying, that hafthe money of that Bank, circulating in the western limits of Georgia spuri- ous and what makes worse, among an honest peo- pie not acquainted with counterfeit money A. s.
