Democracy. Now turn to Georgia, a state which
has given very large majority for Harrison, ard
also elected large majority of Wings in the pop
ular branch of the Legislature: by the temporary
absence of six Wing Senator's the locoiocos iou nd
themselves in majority in the Senate, aud they
instantly seized upon this opportunity 10 defer
the election of U. S. Senator for year, although
thereby they would deprive the State of repre-
sentative in the U. $. Senate, which is to pass up
on Gen. Hanison's most important nominations,
hoping thus to Defeat at least Tor time, The cleo
ton Of Wing. This outrage upon the rights OF
the state, and contempt for the will of the people,
is striking specimen of locofoco democracy. =.
We are happy to add that the Wings put stop
to this game by at once Withdrawing and prevent
ing quorum, and persisted in This course OF &c.

IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE-TH RE-
SUMPTION QUESTION SETTI Ed

By the following letter from our New York
correspondent, it will be seen that there can re.
main but little doubt that the Banks of fniladel-
phia will he enabled TO resume specie payment at
once. The result of their application to New
York for loan is so far successful as to decide
this matter almost with perfect certainty. 1t will
be remembered that the 18th day of next January,
was the period fixed by law for their resumption
That day is fast approaching, and when it comes,
it will find the Banks of Philadelphia in condi-
ton to meet without fear. This is matter of
no slight consequence. For, upon the action of
the Pennsylvania Banks, depends the course ofe
cry, or yearly every banking institution south of
that state, and consequently it involves the bust
ness prospects of the whole southern and western
section of the country and reflectively, those of
the North. If the Philadelphia Banks resume
they will be followed by the other institutions of
the state of Pennsylvania, and subsequently, by
nearly every one in the Union. new impetus
thereby impaired to trade, which has been so long
languishing under the merciless "experiments' of
an ignorant and laundering Executive, which af-
ter bringing the whole country 10 bankruptcy is at
last hurled out ofexstence itselfa bankrupt both
in character and financial resources. Our mer-
chants will again be restored, under the protecting
and fostering hand of u kind and parental Admin
istration, to that activity and occupation neces-
sary TO their happiness and prosperity, and SO es-
senlia 10 their success.
The Inauguration OF WILLIAM Henry HARRI-
soN-the resumption ofspecie paymenl-the res
toraton of prosperity to sness and credit will
take place together. All are the necessary result
of the triumph of true democratic principles at the
late Presidential election. Locofocoism, Van Blu
renism and distress, have been made by the pow
er ofihe people, to disappear before the advent of
Democracy, Harrison, and prosperity. Let he
Country rejoice.

GEORGIA.

Gov. McDoNAL, in his message to the Geor-
gia Legislature, recommends ''that day be
fixed for the resumption of specie payment,
allowing the banks a reasonable time to pre-
pare for it, and that such penalties be annexed
TO their refusal as will insure their compliance.
PEDLARs CLOSELY wATcHED.-The laws
Of Georgia require that all pedlars and timer
ant traders shall obtain license from the
Comptroller, and pedars found ilinerating
without said license are liable to arrest and
punishment To facilitate the detection of I'M
licencesed pedars, the Comptroller publishes
in the newspapers list of the persons who
have taken license, lvith full description, under
the specifications of age, height, complexion,
eyes and hair; and the date of the licence,
which is for one year only, is added.

ton in Albany:
CRY AND County or ALBANY.-E'The result

ing the election saws the journal, tsis most hon
orable to the intelligence, patriotism and devo-
ton OF our citizens. Never did Wings 90 to
their work more jealousy. All did their duty
with that cheerfulness and alerity winch ami
mates men in good cause
stOur majority in the city is red ce1 nearly
200. We are only surprised that the loss is not
greater. While loco-focoism was charging fraud
upon us, it was making tremendous efforts TO
carry the city b. fraud, corruption and violence
More than one hundred men, either by excite
ment or cupidity, were induced to swear in lille
gal votes From the canal boat Delavan alone,
a captain and three men, who admitted that they
resided in other parts of the stae swore in their
votes at the 9TH ward poll.
sfBut this was not our most formidable obsta-
Gle. The large and entire CATHOLIC vote of the
City, with ten or fifteen exceptions, was hand
ed against us. This gave to Loco Focoism at
least one-fourth Of all the votes it received in
the city. Without these votes there is Wing
majority of 1850 in Albany
awe complain not of the vote Of the CATHo-
Lies. They have the same right to vote for Lo-
co Foeosm that we have TO vote against it
We merely, in explanation of result, state The
fact that this class of Electors in body voted the
locofoeo ticket The few,very few Catholics who
voted our ticket, evinccd not only true devotion
but great irnness; FIR SO successful had been
their efforts to excite and inGame their country

It is believed that, as Ronanism Is a civil in

sbrligc cur religious privileges, belongs appro
priateIv to the political press, The undersigned,
therefore, proposes to treat it in its political
aspect, and to discuss its bearing upon
institutions
Il is proposed 10 render the Pilot valuable
commercial and political paper; to give to it
high moral tone, carefully excluding from its CO.
lumns everything which may be offensive to the
religious public. Important public documents,
and the leading speeches in Congress, on both
sides, will be given at length, and with the polit-

of double size, in quartz form, suited 10 binding,
constituting candid and impartial history of the

The Pilot will be free press-as far as
possible, without partisan bias; asserting at all
times the opinions of the editor with indepen-

purpose to speak of Romanism as any other po-
liticsl influence, we by no means propose 70 de- !
vote the paper exclusively to that subject. We
consider 1t e political question, having most
important bearing upon our institutions, and
believe that il should be discussed, that it may
be understood. We know that we have to
encounter many Prejudices, and particularly in
this community; but we are confident IN our
hopes that patronage sufficient to defray the ex-
Pense of publication may be secured IN support
of the paper. With this view this prospectus IS
submitted. Respectfully,
