GEORGIA.

Governor Mcdonald delivered his message TO
the Legislature of Georgia, on the I'd inst. The
Athens Banner says: "The most prominent among
the topics presented for Legislative con Iteration,
the state Of the currency and our Banking insti-
tuions This subject is handled with much force;
the remarks upon the U. S. Bank will be cordially
responded to by all Democrats-an6 those upon
the mode upon which many of our modern local
banks are organized and conducted, so true 10
history that all must admit the correctness of the
facts stated and the views expressed. That the
Legislature have power to repeal Bank charter
where unqueslionabe imposition" has been prac-
1seI upon the power granting it, or upon the peo-
pIe for whose benefit it was created, is doctrine
which it would be dangerous to the welfare of the
State to DENY and we glad to see it so distinct
" and boldly avowed. Whether The suggestion
that we should ultimately have but one Bank be-
sides the Central Bank, with branches at the var-
GUS points where they might be needed, would, if
adopted, remove the difficulties under which we
now labor, is a question upon which we are not
competent TO decide. Much would doubtless de-
pend upon the mode of its organization, and the
guards and restrictions which might be thrown a.
round it. The suggestion may be good, and will
no doubt be popular: for we can hardly have
worse system, than that which now afflicts u.s."

TRIAL OF EDWARD BOILING.

We learn from The Greensboro Patriot of the
9th inst. that Elrrard Bling was tried on Friday
the 9th inst. indictment for bigamy. The
history of his iniquities has already been laid be-
fore our readers. The trial took place before
Judge Nash. The jury returned verdict of
gully, after an absence Of few minutes He
was sentenced to be branded with the letter B on
his left cheek (Which carried into execution
in presence of the Court;) to be imprisoned three
years and to receive thrty-nine lashes at three
several times before the expiration Of his term of
imprisonment. His abode has been assigned him
in GuilGord Jail.
The following is the substance of Judge Nash's
remarks preceding the sentence:
There is scarcely any duty more painful ever
devolved upon an individual than that which falls
to the LOT of judicial officer in apportIoning the
punishment which the law awards 10 convicted
criminal. In the present case and under the pre-
sent circumstances it becomes doublY so, on ac-
count of your youth and the atrocty Of the crime
Of which you stand convicted. You are yet very
Young man-n that period of life when we natur-
ally look for the ingenious feelings and hon
orable sentiments of nature 10 prevail yet the
evidence against you, respecting the recent nefar
Gus stransactons OF your life, discloses tissue of
deception unparalleled by any case ever before
known in the judiciary of North Carolina.
Every circumstance connected with your life
and with your recent offence is an aggravation of
your crime. Your parentage, not only highly res
pectable, but your father Il minister of the gospel
blameless in his social rea atons and in his walk
before the world yourself moving In a circle far
from the lowest in society; with wife who look
ed to you with all womans confidence for love
and protection and tender child whom it was
your province to sustain and cherish and it for an
honorable station in society,-you had the daring
rffrontery to go but short distance into neghbor
ing county, pass yourself in society there under
another name, persevere IN your deception until
unsnspecrng anily, secure the affections young
and innocent girl, and consunmate second mar
rjage! 1t has been said by some writer that truth
is stranger than fiction, and the case before me
proves the correctness of the remark. Romances
and noEes furnish relations similar for marvellous
ness and atrocity; but such realities have never
before with in all the observations Of my life.
Human vi.lany, in the various shades in which it
has been painted 10 our view, has hardly furnished
a parallel to this. A

THE ABOLITIONISTs.

A Quarterly Meeting of the Plymouth County
Anti Slavery Society, was held at bingham, Mass
on the 4th inst. Among the orators who hourished
on that occasion was Lunsfurd Lane. well known
here, and a runaway slave under the disguised
name of Douglas A fact is asserted in the pro-
ceedings of this Convention, which is bitterly de-
MED by the "whigs" in the South, which is, that
"many aholitionists at the last election abandoned
their principles and instrumental in placing at
the head Of this nation SLdreholder,' by which
the doctrine is re-asserted that no slave holder
shall be President Of the United States with their
consent. Nor with the consent of southern ''whigs''
either, if they continue the they have here
tofcre pursued. The Convention declared that the
balance of power is in the hands Of the abolition
lists in Massachusetts and if they true 10 their
principles the Offices will be filled by aboltionists,
without the aid Of the third political party. The
Democratic Republicans, have, however, reduced
the majority of the Federal and Abolition parties
in the last election.
The editor of the bingham Patriot, in whose
paper the proceedings OF the Convention appear,
gives some ''penclngs" of the transactions at the
n eeung. One MIR. Quincy congratulated his
hearers that 'the days of Legislative prescription
have gone by" and that the abolitonists had pro-
cured from The Legislature of Massachusetts, San
endorsement of the abolition doctrine Resolves
commencing, not distant but she immediate alb
olition of slavery" The south does not care a
fig for the Resolves of the "whig" Legislature OF
Massachusetts, so long as large majority of the
States are Democratic Republican, and true to the
country and The constitution. Wherever the
''whigs" have obtained power, in the States they
have done all the mischief they could this DIS
turbing queston-but the people will soon reform
this matter.
The matter of raising funds for Lunsford Lane
to purchase his family was discussed. We are
not told how the subject ended, but guess the col
Iections on the occasion lacked 'bucket" full of
being sufficient for the purpose.

JUVENILE TEMPERANCE socIETY:

Among the signs of moral improvement, and
the hope of future blessings 10 this community none
is more gratifying than the formation of Juvenile
Temperance Society, which, we learn from the

Presbyterian Church, on Saturday the 18th inst.
The following officers were elected ::
William Henry Manly, President.
Jos. J. w. Tucker Vice President
