George Washington filled the Pres

The table which we annex shows the
successful and unsuccessful candi-
dates for the Presidency since that
time, also the number of electoral
votes given to each one. The read
er will not fail to observe that the
opponents of the democratic party
have been in power only about twelve
years since the foundation of the
government. Another thing they
will observe: The opponents of the
democratic party, by whatever name
they may have been called, when
they have gotten into power have
abused it, and have been turned out
by the people at the end of four
years; no one has been reelected,
nor has any one been succeeded by a
candidate Of his own party. II
democratic policy was injurious to
the country, our country would be
the worst ruined country on earth.
Democratic Presidents have often
served two terms, or been succeeded
by a candidate of the same party;
but such has not been the case with
others. The democratic party fixed
the present policy of the country,
and it is likely to remain unchanged.
The party though in power more
than forty years has not ruined the
country.

Tennessee Money in Georgia.
A writer in the Augusta &c;

n Wrilef Ill the augusta tUa.)
Chronicle, says there has been dead
loss, Of perhaps, one hundred thou
sand dollars to the farmers of Cher
okee, Georgia, by the failure Of the
Bank of East Tennessee. This I'M
fortunate result is having an injurious
effect upon other Tennessee bank
notes; and those Of the Ocoee Bank
in particular, large numbers Of which
have been put in circulation there.
The Chronicle, in response to inquiries
as to its solvency, says:
"We are unable to answer the
enquiries of our correspondent in re-
lation to the. Bank Of Ocoee.' We
have heard it said, il was owned by
| few individuals resident in Tennessee,
who are said to be men of wealth,
but we do not know that this state
ment is true, as we have never seen
report of the Bank or list Of
Stockholders.
"Itis, however, the easiest matter
in the world for the people of Upper
Georgia to drive it out Of circulation
in this State. They have only to
refuse to receive it in payment. and
it viii forthwith find its way home,
and a sound and safe currency supply
its place. We have plenty Of sound
Banks in Georgia to supply all de-
mands Of circulation, and il the peo-
pie viii refuse to receive the bills OF
other Banks in payment for their pro-
duce, they at once exclude an I'M
safe currency. Their produce will
always command a safe and sound
currency if they but will it. let
them then refuse the bills of ali ques-
tionable or doubtful Banks, and they
will at once secure a sound circulating
medium, and protect themselves a
gainst the disastrous consequence OF
the failure of '0ne horse banks.'
The Bank OF East Tennessee, the
failure of which has spread disaster,
at one time enjoyed a high degree
of confidence; but, like all other banks
owned and controlled by single In
dlviduaI, was never worthy of that
confidence, as the sequel has proved.
1t behooves the people thereof to
beware of all such institutions; and
if the Bank of Ocoee is owned OF
controlled by one or two individuals,
to repudiate its bills altogether, which
we think is the proper course-it is
certainly the safest policy to repudi-
ate the circulation of all Banks not
of established reputation, or known
worth. Such a course will protect
the people against fraud and loss.
Our Georgia neighbors are getting
rather "shaky'' in their faith. The
Ocoee Bank, so Ear as we are inform
ed, is in a solvent condition, and nc
apprehensions need be entertained ii
regard to its notes.

Taylor was selected for availability,
to the neglect of Clay and Webster,
so was Fremont selected over Sew

A Singular DeIusios.

The intelligent editor of the Court
er des Etats Unis was in the heart
of the 'infected district" in Tenn
essee, where, in the neighborhood
of the great Iron Works, the ne
groes were partially in a state Of
insubordinatinn. He writes home to
his paper in New York. that the
negroes we're absolutely made to be.
lieve by incendiary whites, that Col
Fremont was waiting at the mouth o.
the Cumberland river with an army
to assist them; and that if they could
successfully carry on their Internal
work during the 23d. oath, aud 25th
inst, they would certainly receive aid
fom him.
1t is thus that through their ex-
treme creduliiy, the African race ale
sometimes led into mischief, fatal to
them, by designing white men. Or
dlnarlly they are more apt to suffer
from the bad If auences of superior
Intelligence on that account. " hat
we need at the South is system Of
laws which will take them out Of the
reach Of those likely to tamper with
them. The negro deus kept by white
men in the cities are the fruitful
source Of all such troubles as those
in Tennessee.

THE SLAVE TRADE IN New YORK.
Circumstances which have lately

rent that New York has long been a
nest Of slave traders, and that most
of the vessels which carry on the

owned and fitted out in New York.
The number of slavers fitted out in
this port, within the last three years,
though not easy to state with precis-
ion, cannot fall short Of twenty-five
or thirty. Since Mr.. Keen became

Average Wealth Of individuals

The statistics of taxable property
in the United States, recently COM
piled il the Treasury Department,
furnish some very interesting items
of intelligence in regard TO the aver
age wealth Of the people of the diff
ferent States. The average value Of
taxable property in Indiana and HI
inois is 1894 to each inbabitaDt; in
Michigan it is only 1929; in Maine
it is $40; in New York $500; in
Ohio, $3SS; in Connecticut is about
$500; in Massachusetts, 1925; in
Georgia, 1884; in Alabama, 1884; in
Louisiana, $3.50, in Maryland, ~about
$4l0; in Virginia, $3.50; in Ken
lucky, $3.50.
In these estimates the whole pop
ulation is counted, including the
slaves in the Southern States. If
the calculation had been made only
in reference to the white inhabitants
in the slaveholding States, it would
give to them nearly double the aver
age wealth of individuals in the free
soil States. In none of the South
ern States is the average so small as
in some Of the freesoil States.
