THE LIFE OF EDMUND PENDLETON OF
VIRGINIA.

Happily for human nature, history's
sanguinary page of war and anarchy
is occasionally lit up by some solitary
star of virtue, shining on its attractive
splendor, amid the wastings of crime
and the desolation of ambition. To
such green spots in the waste of hlsto-
nv, humanity turns with philanthropy
cal pride, ''and patriotism with affec-
ton" They hallow the memory of
a whole people, and fling around their
annals all that is honorable or elevated
in the character of man. Fame pass
es UNDECIDED by the solitude of virtue,
and to bIazon the prof1igacy of despOt-
ism, or the worthlessness oflegitimacy,
it sinks into insignifcance the more
simple characteristic of private patrl-
otism, or degrades the more elevated
distinctions of laborious merit. The
history of the bar is known but to the
curious student, and though society is
in a great measure, dependent on 1t
for much of its happiness and prospect
ty, the fame of its sons is heard but IN
the Renaissance of friendship, or in
the rude annals of tradition. The au.
photography of Judge Pendleton is the
emphatic history of the labors, the diff.
ficulties, and the proud though silent
triumphs of the bar. 1t breathes al
indomitable spirit, and his genius was
unaided by education, yet the inheren
energy of his character taught him tc
be the architect of his own Fortune
lie sought wisdom amid the oppression
of poverty with an earnestness which
no difficulty could abate-no asperlty
subdue. This memoir offers an elo
quent commentary on the force of ou

POLITICAL.

"HERE THEY co, ROUND, ROUND.
ROUND. 1T is well known that the
State of Georgia has long been divided
into two great parties, one called the
Troup party, and the other the Clark
party, so denominated from two former
Governors, Troup and Clark. So
nearly balanced have these parties
been, that one year one would gain
the ascendancy, and the next year the
other. Two years ago they had a
most violent struggle, but the Clark
party succeeded and chose Lumpkin
Governor. Early in the spring, these
same parties held Conventions and no.
minated each its candidate-Governor
Lumpkin by the sClarkites,' and Major
Joel Crawford by the Troopers. =
The Troopers being in the main u
MON men, selected Major Crawford,
not only because he had been decided
supporter of their cause, but ais, be-
cause they believed him to be firm and
undaunted in his opposition to the null.
liiers.
Circumstances have recently trans
pired which have given a new face to
the condition of affairs. Crawford has
declared himself a nullifier, and Lump
kin sticks more closely to the Union.
The result of this step will be to make
Lumpkin Trooper and Crawford a
Clarkite, and in consequence, each
candidate will have to depend for his
support upon the very party which
was originally opposed to his nominal
ton.
The Augusta Constituencies, a
Troup paper, in allusion to the rumor
that Major Crawford had thrown him.
self into the arms of the MULES, says
-"if there is any truth in the report,
the Troup party has been deceived
Mr.. Crawford was nominated on the
supposition that he was Union man,
and no declared nullifier could possibly
have received the nomination of the
assemblage at Milledgeville." The
Constitutionalist also rebukes with
great severity the interference of Mr..
Calhoun and McDuffie with the Geor-
gia election. and adds, ''that the Troup
party, spurning the Vaccinations of
Calhoun, (the metaphysical treason
monger) disregarding the COMPARE
tive pettiness of old party distinctions,
in the spirit of patriotic devotion, will
unite, with all those who think alike,
and bid the thrice baffled impertinence
of foreign intrigue, crawl back to its
home. We are warm, perhaps" con-
tinues the Constituencies, "but to you,
Troup men, our old associates, we Of
fer no apology, for we shall not need
it. If you have suffered the wrong
that is alleged, our warmth will be
GOODNESS itself, to the fire of your hon
est Indignation"
The election takes place on the first
Monday Of October.

REMOVAL OF THE DEPOSITES.
From ihe Globe of The Dad ut.

1t has been generally known for
some months past, that the propriety
of Withdrawing the public deposites
from the Bank of the United States was
under consideration, and engaged much
of the attention of the President and Of
the different members of his Cabinet,
all of whom had been called upon by
the President to assist him in his deli
berations on this subject. After a We
ry full and careful examination, the
President came to the conclusion that
the public deposltes ought to be chang
ed 10 the State Banks, and his opinion
was communicated in writing to his
Cabinet on Wednesday last, at meet
ing held specially for that purpose,
and the facts and reasons on which it
was founded. AS public attention has
been drawn to this subject, it is deemed
proper, in order to prevent misunder-
standing or Misrepresentation, to lay
before the people the communication
made by the President as above men,
toned, and copy has been furnished
to US for that purpose, which we now
proceed to publish:
Read to the CABINET on the 1871 Of
September, 1888.
Having carefully and anxiously con-
sidered all the facts and arguments,
which have been submitted to him, re-
lative to removal of the public depo-
sites from the Bank of the United
States, the President deems it his duty
to communicate in this manner to his
Cabinet the final conclusions Of his own
mind, and the reasons on which they
are founded, in order TO put them in
! durable form, and to prevent mlscon-
ceptions.
The Presidents convictions of the
dangerous tendencies of the Bank of
the United States, since signally Illus
trated by its own acts, were so over
! powering when he entered upon the
duties of Chief Magistrate, that he felt
it his duty, Notwithstanding the objec-
I tons of the friends by whom he was
surrounded, to avail himself of the first
occasion, to call the attention Of Con-
gress and the people, TO the question
! Of its recharter. The opinions ex-
pressed in his Annual Message of De-
cember, 1929, were reiterated in those
of December, 1880 and 1881, and in
that of 1880 he threw ont for conside-
ration some suggestions in relation to
a substitute. At The session of 1912
an act was passed by a majority of both
Houses of Congress, rechartering the
present Bank, upon which the Presi-
| dent felt it his duty to put his consti-
tu,ional veto. In his Message, return
ing that act, he repeated and enlarged
upon the principles and views briefly
asserted in bis Annual Messages, de-
claring the Bank to be, in his opinion,
both inexpedient and unconstitutional,
and announcing to his countrymen,
very unequivocally, his firm determl-
nation never to sanction, by his appro-
val. the continuance of that institution
or the establishment Of any other upon
similar principles.
