GEoRGIA.-All the accounts from this Stnle
90 10 convince US that she wll support Mr. Van
Buren, at the next Presidential election. The
Union party are unanimous for him, and all the
Sub. Treasury nuIlifers will support him in pre-
ference to Henry Clay The Columbus ga
Enquirer, decided opposition paper, admits that
the administration will succeed in that State. II
says:
MANY Of the members Of that party, partcu-
larry the Sub Treasury portion of it, will support
Mr. Van Buren, IN preference to Mr. Clay; and
by adding their strength to the Union party, will
carry the State for Mr. Van Buren,, in spite Of
every effort which can be made 10 prevent 1t. If
portion, therefore, of the State Rights party
organise a ticket IN support Of Mr. Clay, whilst
their defeat would be certain. and even humat-
ing, they would drive the Sub Treasury men
more uevocaby into the support of Van Buren,,
and any hope which may be INDUCED of hereal.
ter concentrating the party, for any purpose what
ever, would prove fallacous.
The Argus will not reply to our last remarks
respecting The agency Of the late U. S. Bank in
bringing about the pecuniary embanassmcnts I'M
!. der which we have been aborng for sometime
past, but refers his readers 10 previous article
which appeared in his paper upon the subject
Very well, We have no objection to such n
course on his part-neither have we any thing to
say to his Liberal alluson about the public print.
ing We could expect nothing better from such
a source--bu let it pass We have not the
slightest disposition to recrmnate jus, now.
In our reply to the article in the Argus, to
which the Editor refers with such self.compa.
cency, We showed what our neighbor does net
and cannot deny, that the L, S. Bank in 1885
set the example Of over-issuing TO the state banks
and that the immense and unprecedented expan-
sion of It's circulation to the amount of fourteen
millions in few months, followed, as il was, by
| smla expansion on the part Of those banks
' was the primary cause of tho extravagant specu
ions and oyer-rading which pervaded the entire
Union in '35 and go and TO which is to be atlr
@ buled all the pccunlary difficulties Of the presen
a day. We showed, also. from the Argus owl
q statement tina, the great increase Of State banks
was not the necessary consequence OF the de
4 structun of the United States Bank, as this in
!. crease commenced previous to Gen. Jacksoni
: veto in 1892, when ii was supposed that tina
{, hank would be ,e-charored These facts thu
>. Argus cannot gainsay, and the inlerences w
!. drew from them are so irresistible, that he find
is convenient not to reply. What he will not o
IS, cannot do himself, however, correspondent
If. kindly steps in, and attempts TO do for him. w
on have glanced but very hastily over the con
T.. municatlon of this writer, and find little in

as and the mode OF reasoning, we infer tina, the WI
let is some bank director, or bank attorney, ar
of course better skilled in the art Of banking, ar
