Acadia's News.

The Panic in Great Britain continues, and
the raOnied pressure is working sad distress all
over the realm.
We have locked with some attention at the
reviews, statements &C., &C., as to the causes OF
this Panic, and must confess, that We can attrib-
ute it to nothing more nor less than the bad, not
10 say faithless, conduct, Of the Bank Of Eng
land.
That pressure should exist in Great Britain
10 not to be wondered at. The whole country
has been mad with speculation. Railway-stOck,
corn &C., have been garnbed in, most recklessly,
and nothing, of course, but curtallment and
'.pressure" could result from it,
But a panic such as exists now-breaking SOL
vent UNDERSTANDING strong mcnied institu-
iions-merely because securities, invariably good
could not be used--is a different affair, and
hard to be understood by rs, on this side the
water.
Peer's bill restricts the Bank Of England to
issuing more than Ella, 100000, without having
an amount of gold equal to the surplus issue
but leaves thu managers to do as they please
about the public deposites. 1t is this, It is al
lodged, which has caused the whole difficulty
The Bank managers have gambed and 'jObbed''
with these dtposites, and the fixed circulation,
until they have wrought utter confusion in the
English mercantile community.
On the ID Sept, the managers Of the Bank,
having on hand large amount Of public funds,
sold them one per cent under the natural price
Of money at ii at time. On the Cd Of Oct. with
out notice, fi,y declared that they would lend
no more notes ON Exchequer Billsand Stock. The
first act was :. breach Of trust--ths last a real

"On this day (oct. 30th) fortnight, we said

10 the Bank Managers Of tampsring with the
value Of money. And behold tbs Bill Is already
at an end, Tae Managers of the Bank have
banked 1t to death. They began the operation
on the End of September; the instrument was
the immense ium Of public money accumula-
ting in their hinds for the payment Of the Octo-

Suie has recently called the attention OF the
Legislature 10 the subject Of ''chartering manu-
featuring companies" and he is evidently Of
opinion that unless policy be adopted different
from that heretofore pursued, the interests Of
the commonwealth must rapidly decline. Why
is 1t that Georgia, with a much better climate
than Massachusetts, exhibits no evidences Of
prosperity Why is il that the elements Of
prosperity are in active operation from the cen
tire TO the circumference Of Massachusetts,
Seek not an answer to such queries in the inc
quality Of the action Of tariff laws. The answer
can be found in no tariff bill which ever received
the presidential signature. Why, then, the strik'
ing difference between these two States The
true answer is: one is a free State, the other Is
cured with slavery. In one labor liz considered
honorable; in the other dsgraceful--the business
Of slaves. Who that knows the deleterious opera
tion Of the system of slavery can wonder that
Georgia is immeasureaby in the rear of Massa-
chusetts7 And who that examines the subject
will not see that this will continue to be the
caseso long as the GeOrgians prefer slave to free

What has been said of Massachusetts, and
Georgia, may, with few variations, be said Of
Connecticut and South Carolina. In the former
State there is an industrious population, seating
bread in the sweat of their faces" and applying
their energies 10 the enlargement Of the re-
sources Of the commonwealth. In the latter
there is population, in some respects, worthy
of admiration, but imbued with certain aristo-
cratic sentiments which prompt them 10 make
an effort TO believe that slavery is a blessing.
Alas, for South Carolina! Her soil is not free.
