To the Editor Of the Commercial Bulletin
BRANDON BANK.

have read with attention the report of
the Commissioners on the Brandon Bank,
and beg leave TO submit the following OBJ
servatons on some Of the extraordinary
statements sent forth in that document,
The report says, the Bank has advice of
the sale Of only 6,400 bales tout of 10000
shipped at I'D per ID, and If the balance
sells for the same rate it will produce $50
per bale; which, with IL per cent they es-
innate as premium on exchange, will be
equal to sos so per bale, and will leave
balance to be realized by the bank, over
and above the advance already received by
them, of upwards off ,200,000!! Now eve
ry commercial man knows, that the price of
cotton at Liverpool, and the depressed stu
alton and gloomy state of the market was
such, that the prospect is, their unsoId cotton
would not nett more than the amount OF the
advances already received by them, and
that consequently the whole of this balance
of 100000 dollars is a perfect fiction!
Yet, in the face of such notorious facts con-
nected with the value of cotton at Liver
pool, the report with perfect GOODNESS asserts,
'sthe prospect is favorable for such a re-
suit ~! no doubt many credulous holders of
the notes of this bank, are relying upon
this fund as a source for payment, but they
may rest assured that it will vanish into
'thln.air," when the sales are closed and
final accounts rendered.
II strikes me also, as very curious cir
cumstance, that some weeks after the ship
ing season had closed at Mobile, the banl,
should have no advice Of any portion oflher
cotton at that port having been shipped, and
that all the information IN the report on that
point, is the verbal declaration Of the presi-
dent, that he "has no doubt" 6000 bales
have been shipped for the bank from that
place!
From ALI have heard and seen on the
subject, both in Mississippi and here, ven
ture to assert
LIST. That the bank has not shipped
more than 500 bales from Mobile, instead Of
6000.
ID. That her aggregate shipments do
not exceed As to $4,000 bales, instead of
10000.
Sd. That at the date of the report, the
bank had advces of much moro extensive
sales than 6,400 bales, and at prices great
| ly below 7id per ID.
18th. That instead of realizing $2,200,-
600 as balance when the sales are closed,
she will not receive, at the extent, more
than the odd 100000.
9th. That the average nett proceeds Of
all the cotton shipped for her account to
Liverpool, will, in no event, exceed $50 per
bale; and will probably not more than cover
the actual advance of $50 already received
by her.
1.-THE commissioners who have signed the
above report, are disposed to deny the pre-

ceding positions, | would recommend them
to call upon the bank for their Liverpool
letters up to 18th July, and their cores
pondence to 18th August, with their agents
in New Orleans and Mobile, all Of which
must have been received by the bank preyi-
GUS to the date Of the report, aud then see il
those letters will not fully confirm the as
sertion have made.
The whole report, both as to facts and in
ferences, consider as gross deception on
the public, and the general conduct Of that
bank since the suspension of specie pay
ments, as injudicious and unjustiiiable in the
highest degree; and such as requires the
severest investigation on the part Of the Leg
islaturo of Mississippi, both in justice tC
themselves and to the general credit of tbs
State and her banking Institutions.

ted to augment the already oyergrown pat
ronage Of the executive.
4. ReSolped, That no effectual means Of
securing sound currency for the whole
country has not yet been devised, except a
national BANK; and, viewing the consti-
tuGonal question as settled, so far as il can
be settled by authority, by the recognition
of all the departments Of the government,
| from the presidency Of General Washington
TO that of General jackson, inclusive, and
the acquiescence of the people during the
whole period, we do not hesitate 10 give it
our cordial and unqualified preference TO any
experiment made or recommended by the
democratic party or its leaders.
3. ReSolrcd, That we recommend to
each county in the state to send as many
delegates as it has members in the house OF
representatives,, TO constitute state con-
vention, TO meet in jackson on the fourth
Monday in January next, for the purpose Of
nominating candidates for state Offices. and
10 take all necessary measures for establish
ing the ascendancy of correct principles in
: the state.
= 6. Resolred, That four persons be APP
pointed TO represent this county in said con-
vention.
7. Resolred, That inasmuch as our sena-
= tor, Colonel I, B. j. Hadley, has recently
formed a coalition with party VIGOROUSLY
: in a small minority in this county, and pro
Tossing principles repudiated by the grea
majority of his constituents, he cannot long
er represent our wishes truly and faithfully
s. Resolred, That colonel Hadley be re
quested to resign; and that committee o
three in each election precinct be appointed
by the chairman to frame the request, anC
| procure signatures thereto, and that they
constitute permanent corresponding com
mttee, with power to add to their number
: and fill vacancies occurring therein.
8. RESOLVED, That committee Of three
be appointed to correspond with the honora
BILE Henry Clay, on topics in which thu
south has deep interest, and to publish thu
same for the information Of the people
Gen. Cowles Meade, A. r. johnson, ID

MORNIONS.

urrayed in hostility againstt the laws of MIS-
sour and threatens to "carry war and ex-
Termination 20 the lives and property of ere
ry citizen who shall oppose them" They
have sent armed men through one or two Of
the counties, who Compelled the inhabitants
TO sign written obligation that they will
not take sides against them, nor assist the
State in enforcing law and order. Under
these circumstances the District Judge was
called upon to issue warrants Tor the appre.
hension and punishment ofthe most consPlc-
uous Of the leaders, which he accordingly
issued. The writ for the apprehension o
Joe Smith, their prophet, leader, law-giver
and general, and one Lyman Wight, was
placed in the hands of the Sheriffof Dayiess
county, who, in order to execute it, went to
the house Of Wight, in which be found about
100 armed men, who opposed the process of
the law. Wight told the Sheriff that che
would never be taken allve-that the laws
had never protected him, and he owed them
no obedience-and that the whole State
could not take him." &c.
After this, and in order TO prevent the
shedding of blood, the citizens Of Ray senta
deputation to the Mormons, in order to in
duce them to submit peaceably to the ordi-
nary course Of law; but they were unsuc-
cessful. II is said that their armed force a

GREAT WIG MEETING


AT meeting of large number of the
citizens of Kinds county, at the court house
in Raymond, on Monday, the first day of Oc-
tober, agreeably to adjournment, Major
JOHN B. PEYToN was called to the chair, and
A. L. DABNEY, esq. appointed secretary.
The following resolutions were presented
for consideration by Charles Hill, and passed
by overwhelming majorites:
l. Resolred, That we consider the course
of the present administration of the general
government, from its commemorate this
time, as totally at war with the interests of
the country--as designed to perpetuate pow
er in the hands of the ascertained minority,
in disregard of the known interests and
wishes of the great mass of the Americas
people.
2. RESOLVED, That the effort now strenu-
ously made by the party in power to prop
their sinking fortunes by pretended union
of sentiment with the state rights party, is
not only an absurd attempt to reconcile dis
similar principles, but to be successful, will
require of the state rights party sacrifice
of political consistency.
3. Resolrod, That sound currency is
an essential part of commercial prosperity I;
and that the sub-treasury, as detailed in con-
gress by those in the confidence ofthe pres
ident, does not propose to furnish one, eth
er directly or by remote consequence; but,
on the contrary, is directly ruinous in Its ac-
ton to any institution that might be availa-
bic for that purpose, and obviously calcula-
