From the Georgian Messenger of April 17. Letters report the bank will resume pay in a few days. Officers Eli S. Shorter as president and Cary as cashier are expected to be restored, pledging to restore confidence and stabilize the institution amid local hostilities and economic strain.
A newspaper letter questions an alleged high handed treasury draw and calls for justification from lawmakers. It recounts support for Mr. Duane as Treasury Secretary and critiques President Jackson and officials over deposit policy and the handling of bank opposition.
The passage recounts a secretary facing pressure to remove deposits, refusing gifts and a Russia posting. It lauds his honesty and moral courage, contrasting corrupt advisers with his steadfast duty at the door of the public treasury. The story declares his act as nobler than war or fame.
The fifth day sweepstakes purse was captured by Mr. Harrison's Jane Bertrand, defeating only rival Lady Burke in a tight contest. The report, from the Charleston Mercury, notes the close race and Bertrand's margin of victory amid broader coverage of national news and political items from Washington and beyond.
The column reports on the force act debate with Calhoun and Judge Crayton in Columbia, New York Mayor election results with Lawrence victory and riots, Connecticut and Portland races, bank shares, a ship fire in New York, and Monticello’s sale. It mentions ship Tuscany gift, and British market updates with cotton prices from Liverpool and Havre, plus Augusta cotton prices and local Macon market.
