The Banks.
TIio bank statement of the Comptroller ''
Jeneral, for Octobor, chows a decrease of P
ipeoio. The aj;jrogute circulation of the '*
mnks of this State is $0,014,279, with only 0
^704,701 in spocie for its redemption. Such
i state of affair a require the strictest iuvesti- d
Ration, and then a thorough reformation of c
>ur presont banking system. The banks pay n
10 attention whatever to the law regulating s<
heir circulation, and this has been ono of the
irime causes of the general suspension and ^
pressure oi inc times, Their circulation is jthribblo
that authorize I by law. The IntUt* fj
snco of these banks is great, and may deter jj
tho Legislature from a thorough exposure p
ind reformation. Shottld it not bo dono, we
,vill soon have bank failures instead of bank ^
mspeusions. The Legislature should require
i forfeiture of their charter, when tho banks
violate the law: they should ho punished for ^
nisoonduct as well as individuals
There in ft slight improvement in money j
matters just now, and prices are improving,
but we think they nre only temporary. Next
tpring will probably brin^ a greater pressure
than wo have yet experienced, and it lx- ''
lioovea ns to prepare for it.

The Democratic Party of Georgia.
In tho correspondence of tlio Charleston
Courier, vrc find an accoUnlP^bf a recent
luoCting of Democrats in the Hall of Representatives
at tho State Capitol. Gov. H.
V. Johnson presided-, and the Hon. A. H.
Stepucus was tho Chairman of tlio Committce
that offered tho resolutions apponded.
The remarks of the President and tho
resolutions ure commendable in matter and
tone:
Before taking hi* neat, the President
made u very appropriate address to the
Democracy, urgiug on them to be Jinn ii.
their principles, and not to exult over their
vanquished opponents, but, on tho contrary,
to argue and urge them to give up their
party strife under the name of Americans,
for they must now feel satisfied that they
nnnltl ix'fvmiiilixli nn ffind fnr thnmsu-dvoq
or the country by keeping i.p in opposition
to the Democratic party, tho only organized
party in the country to 'whom the South
could look for aid and assistance in preserving
their rights under the Constitution and
the Union. He urged the American party,
in feeling thrills, to hur^r the hatchet and
join i.mi i/enioerncy. ana tnus present n solid
nml bold front to our Northern foes.
Gov. Johnson was listened to with marked
attention, and took his seat amidst rapturous
applause. A Committee of three
from each Congressional District was then
appointed, to prepare business for the meeting,
of which Committee the Hon. A. 11.
Stephens was Chairman. After a short absence,

resolutions of that platform :
1. Iteaolved, That claiming fellowship
with and desiring the co-operation of all
who regard the preservation of the Union

to treason and armed resistance to law
in the Territories, and whoso avowed purposes,
if consummated, must end in civil
war and disunion, the Amoriean Democra
oy rccoenitio and adopt the principles contained
in the organic laws establishing the
Territories of Kansas and Nebraska, ns cmbodying
tho only sound and safe solution of
the "slavery question" upon which the
great national idea of tho people of this
whole country can repose in its determined
conservatism of the Union?non-intorferencc
by Congress with slavery in State ami
Territory, or in the Iiistrict of Columbia.
2. Tluit this wub the basis of the coniI
promises of 1850?confirmed by both the
j Dcjnocrntie and Whig parties in the National
Conventions?ratified by the people
in the election of 1852, and rightly applied
to the organization of Territories in 1864.
5$. That by the uniform application of

liesolocd, That we rocoguize the right
of the people of nil the Territories, including
Kansas and Nebraska, acting through

tho nuitiber of their inhabitants justifies it,
to form a Constitutiort, with or without do- |

the other States.
2. Ami be it further Jlc.v>lvc<lt by

Our city in already beginning to swarm
with strangers?including politicians from
all sections of the country, discussing the
prospeota nnd issues of the approaching
Congress. " What will bo the leading
(jucstions in Congress ?" 1 hear asked on
j 11 hands, and by every body. The impression
is, that linancinl relief will lye tlio
first subject for consideration?including,,
of course, tho policy nnd morality of n bankrupt
law. ^Next to this, will bo th? Kansas
Constitution, if pro-slavery, and not rafiftall |
by tbc people. Tho third great subject t|
which will ooeupy much of the attention or
Congress, in tho coostruotion of n railroad'
to tho Pacific Ocean. The ios? of tho Cen?tral
A'sierica. with her imuionso treasure,
and her freight of human life, has created
n determination, on the part of the friends
of the railroad enterprise, to push a railroad'
bill from Mm vorv ii.mn itiiYl if }anmifldhht.

The Speakership, I think, is nettled. 1
have not a doubt that Col. James L. Orr,

the thirty-fifth Congress. Noi only dooH .
his personal popularity indicate. this, but
his decided ability as a, presiding officer
points him out us the owe to bo chosen
Speaker. I have conversed with a great
many Democrats from the North ns well uh
the South, and 1 have heard but ono opinion
expressed as to the prospects of Col.
Orr?should ho not bo elected to tho United
