GHN McCLANAHAN -ABoLlTIoNIsM, &c,
The Ripley Telegraph says that 'Gen
McClanahan took an active part, and was
most jealous in procuring signers to the
petition praying the Legislature to char.
ter the Red Oak Semmary--he carried the
petition to Columbus, and put it into the
hands Of the member Of this county, and
we suppose, urged him tOpush it through.
Gen. McClanahan was at the conven-
ton in this place on Wednesday last, and
in consequence ofreports of the above i'm
port that had been put into circulation,
he stated what he had to do with the Red
Oak petition. We were not pre- sent al
the time, but are informed by those who
heard him, that he said he was last winter
abou! to 60 to Columbus on business,
and was requested by neighbor to carry
letter toMr. Durham; which he promiS.
cd TO do. The letter was left at his house
before he started, and proved to be the
petition He took it along,as he had prom
sed, and delivered il to Mr. Dunham.--
This we understand is all that he did with
the petition. We are informed that he
also stated that he did not belong to any
abolition society, nor entertain political
abolition principles, This statement is
corroborated by many of his neighbOrs,
whom we have heard speak on the sub.
iect.

BANK OF TIE UNITED STATES.
Washington, Aug, 30.

Mr.. Sergeant, Chairman Of the Com
mi,tee on the Currency, reported to the
House new bill, in reference to the
collection, keeping aud disbursement Of
ths Public Money.
The bill in its details and restrcti ions
is the same is the bill disapproved by the
President. The difference are as follow.
ing:
The name of ihe new Institution is to
be "The Fiscal Corporation Of the Unit
ed States"
The capital to be 50 /, 600, 900, instead
of $4,000, ,O0O-Sl4.000,000, to be
owned by subscribers, and S7,OOO,0OO,
by the United Slstes-Sl4 COO, ,OOO.may
hereafter be added to The capital Of $2l, ),
600 900.
Instead of Branches heBank is to have
agensies established wherever the Secre.
tary of the Treasury may think proper,
Or The mother Bank may choose to estab
lish with the consent of The Secretary oI
The Treasury. A state Bank may be a
Branch, or an Agent-or any number oI
individuals may be an Agency Of the
Bank.
Noth hing is said Of assent or dissent
nothing about discounts. The Corpora.
ton is to have power to deal exclusively
in Foreign Bills Of Exchange, or in Bills
Of Domestic Exchange drawn in one State
or Territory and payable in another.
The word COrpU alton is used in The
Bill throughout, instead Of Bank.
These are the main features of thu
Bill.

the proceeding of the abolition conven.
ton held at Sardinia on the 18Th instant
1t may not be improper here 10 state our
opinion and what we believe to be the o.
pinion of every true democrat on the sub.
iect of abOlilionism. As friends of the
Union,we believe that to interfere with
the Institutions Of other States is to wage
a direct war against the Constitution and
Union. We believe that the preservation
of the Union is necessary for the mante-
nance of our independence; & that sep
Ration would render us liable to become a.
gain mere colonies of GreatBritain, whose
object in agitating the question Of aboli-
tonism cannot be misunderstood by any
unpreiudiced mind. When she shall have
rendered us as abject as are the millions
OF oppressed and starving HindoOs, among
whom she has quartered her standing ar.
mics, then will The most incredible be.
come convinced Of her motives. We be-
lievs that the Union was formed only for
mutual protection and commerce; that
each Stale is Independent and sovereign
within its respective limits for all other
purposes, and that the citizens Of another
state have not only no more right TO inter.
fere with her internal regulations than
with those Of Canada or any of the West
india islands, but that the faith imp lied by
the constitution forbids such interference
If this view be correct, the efforts o.
the aboliIionists tend to subvert our own
independence, without bettering the con.
diuon Of the blacks Of the south.
