NAH REPUBLICAN,"
The following article appears in the Savannah
Republican of the 25th ultimo:
"MR. SHULTz AoAIs.-We beg leave to ac-
knowledge the receipt, from HENRY SHuLrz, ESQ.,,
at Washington, of two letters of the same tenor
and purport, each accompanied by four Wash
ington papers, containing some account of Mr..
SHuLTz's passages at arms with the Bank Of the
State Of Georgia. In these missiyes, Mr.. s. AYERS
that he has gained a bias OF public opinion in
his favor, of which he shall make good use that
the Bank shall no longer trade on his capital
&c. sc.
Mr.. sHULrz fully illustrates the case Of Poor
Peter PEBBLES vs.. PiaiasfGnss.' He has been 80
long in the meshes and entanglements of the law,
that they have become necessary TO his happiness
and contentment. Since such is his taste, We do
not know why he should not be allowed to pursue
it but for ourselves, we should be heartily re-
joiced 10 see an end Of this eternal driveling and
nonsense. The object of MIR. SHULTz's publica
tons and communications is well understood, for IL
is continuation of a system pursued through long
years. IL is 10 raise the toind' again through the
agency Of 'disintrested' persons, in order TO ena
BILE him to make other legal demonstrations against
the Bank and thus force il, for the sake Of saving
itself from persecution and annoyance TO buy him
of. Here, the whole game is perfectly understood
Elsewhere it may not be so; but we venture to
predict that the veteran serjeant will fail in drum
ming up recruits for another encounter. We have
all along regarded these efforts of Mr.. SHuLTz
unworthy to the last degree. Any further move
ments Of his in the same direction must be viewed
by all sensible men as the expiring efforts Of ma
Lightly which is destined 10 know no repose on this
earth.'
The editor, it will be perceived, after acknow-
Lodging "the receipt of two letters,'' " each
companied by four Washington papers," sc. &c.,
INDUCES in some fanciful remarks in reference to
my controversy with the Bank of the State Of
Georgia, lately before the Supreme Court. The
mother bank is at Savannah, and this editor is
himself stockholder. of that bank and this &C
counts, in part, for his very "disinterested sug-
gestions TO my prejudice. l will not pretend to
compete with him in fanciful writing, as that is
the trade by which he makes his bread and, be-
sides. he has been for some years past touring it
the world to improve his style, and has visited
the cities Of Rome, Jerusalem, sc. He says: In
these missives (my letters) Mr.. Shultz AYERS that
he has gained bias of public opinion in his favor,
OF which he shall make good use that the bank
shall no longer trade on his capital" &c. Now,
am glad to say that am proud of this public opn-
ion in my favor; and soemnly repeat that the
bank shall no longer trade capital that in jus
hce Is mine. He further sneeringy says " Mr..
Shutz fully illustrates the of Poor Peter Pee
bles Us. Plainstanes' AS have not been in those
ancient European cities celebrated for their high
learning in law as well fancy, I cannot under
take to say how much mine may resemble Poor
Peters case; but this assure the editor, that
can fully illustrate my affairs and business so
that he or any other easily understand
them.
Again, this editor says " We should be heartily
reoiced to see end Of this eternal drveling and
nonsense As he doubtless means by this polite
remark, that he desires to see an end to my suit
against the bank, can assure him that not soul is
disposed to doubt his sincerity and candor in this.
will join him with all my heartin desiring an end
to the sutbut that end will never be reached until
the bank gives back what she has so cruelty taken
from me by force, and long unjustly withheld.
Again, he says: 90 The object of all Mr.. Shultz's
publications" &C., "is to raise the irind again
through the agency of disinterested persons, in
order to enable him to make other legal demonsra-
tons against the bank, and thus force it, for the
sake of saving itself from persecution and annoy
ance, to buy him off, Now, he may call il
"force," buying off, or by any other name he
may be pleased to call it; shall strive to get my
own in any way possible He ' ventures" to make
a prediction, "tbat the veteran serjeant will fail
in drumming up recruits for another encounter
And will now make another prediction. Let me
once more get the bank into the battle field, and
the veteran sejeant' will prove himself general
enough to slay the enemy. The court has pointed
out the way, and l shall follow it,
HENRY SHULTZ.
