hear orthc revival of business III various
parts of the country, but none affords me
so much pleasure as The accoulfj from
Hamburg South Carolina. In your last
paper | saw notice Of the present busI-
ness and future prospects Of that town. OF
the most encouraging character. iear"
also from several honest farmers who nave
sold collon there recently. a still much
more important fact viz: That the mer'
chants Of Hamburg arc paying for country
produce in good money of South Carolina
Banks. This is as it should 5e, ana i
most heartily. congratulate tho country.
The days of honesty and fair dealing are
soon to be restored. The Banks Of Gcor-
gia are no longer 10 he paid a premium ou'
of the labor of the country for violating the
laws Of honesty, morality, and their coun-
try. The circulation ol'their bills in Soull,
Carolina is about being suspended until
they return TO their duty by paying specie
for their bills when demanded.
limy neighhor owed me one hundred
bushels Of corn. and was 10 attempt l."
pay me with a bundled measures which
contained one tenth less. thus saving To
himself ten bushels Of the hundred such as
he had paid me, every man in the com
munitv would say he was guilty of a fraud.
aud all would say such an act and its au
thor were dishonest: and yet this is pre-.
cisely what the men who attempt 10 pa.
debts with Georgia money, Ten percent be
low par, are doing, Tho Two acls are
precisely alike. Therefore let all hone
men, of whatever calling, comhiuc and aci
in CONCERT, to pul stop to The circuaIl"~
of this fradulcnt Georgia money. Ou
own good Banks are able and willing l.
supply us with all the money which OH
business requires, if VIC will only refuse T.
take the deprecated Georgia money. A
long as the people will srhmiI 10 he I'M
posed on by Georgia money. just so lon.
our Banks will refuse 10 let out their bill:
for the emission OF their hills, under sur''
circumstances, would put them under IL.
power of those mcan Banks and their 81
ctct agents. The bills of our Bauk:,
would of course Immediately y return on tho

Inn saws another friend ormeao moncv
can oct more for my ro,lon in Hamburg
in Georgia molev. and it will nav nv
debts, and can buy as much out of The
store with it as with gou,l money. The
frs, of lhcs, proHosirions is contrary 10
common Honesty, and the las, is contrary
TO common sense. The man who woulI
sell his cotton for mean money to nav his
debts, would be doing precisely the same
thing as he would if he had his half bushcl
less when he wcul to measure tho bushels
of c,rn he owed his ncghbor; thus cheat.
ing him out of wha, he Justly owed and
had given his word to pay. lcl was to
hear man say that he would sell his cot
ton To &c, mean money TO pay his debts.
