TO THE PUBLIC.

I Y PRESENTING to the commu.
q nifty the Circular Letter of the
Franklin Bank TO other Banks, together
with the correspondence explanatory Of
the causes CT dIsngreement existing
between that and other banks of Alex.
andria, the president and directors are
influenced by no other motive than to
place before the public The statement of
facts contained therein. This it has
been thought iDdispensabiy necessary to
do, for the purpose Of coun1eracting
the injurious effects which the enemies
OF the Franklin Bank have endeavored
10 diffuse into society. There is one
charge inIimatcd against the conduc. :
ors of The Franklin Bank, which IL
was not necessary to notice in the sub
Joined letter, as 1t was addressed 70
banks IN The district, which could have
recourse to the ready means of refutine
the calumny. Iris that arising from ths
affectatlon OF iSnorance,e zen the part of the
Franklin Bank, of whom lhe direction
was composed This direction is re-
corded in the Office of the secretary oi
the treasury, according TO the proVi-
slons OF the charter-oHe OF which very
banks making the complaint, has &C =
copied charter under the same cir-
cumstanCes. For the information at
those who have not an opportunity oil
obtaining in that way the list OF direct
ors, we beg leave to name it, as record
ed, to wit

Among The names presented to the
public, and whose signatures will b.
found to the Instrument accepting the
charter, there are seen, men of wesl,h
and responsibility. The Franklin Bank
on bo.h these grounds presumes com.
petition With any OF its opponents.
If the Franklin Bank had ever, in any
instance, refused or delayed to take up
its issues with specie when required, or
had iaile3 10 afford accommodation 10
applicants, by an exchange of paper of
,GnoGe extensive circulation than their
own, some reasonable grounds might
have been offered lor the eff0tls which
Eave been so much labored for its de-
Jstruclion. Batno preterce OF this kind
has existed, CT zDiH eUeT exist Circum.

some Of the other banks would not pro-
badly have broken OUT into open hostI-

ticipation IN the patronage OF the town,
1t is bu, too apparent, is the cause OF the
gccent opposition to the Franklin Bank.

The comparative statements lust pre-.

on which reliance could be placed. The
excessive importations Of foreign mer-
cnandise, during the past and present
year. have, but in a slight degree, d.
mntshed that difficulty. The revenue
which accrued from imports and ton
mage during the three first quarters Of
The year 1916, have averaged nine mil
lions of dollars a quarter; while that
which viii have accrued during the
last quarter, is estimated not more lhaa
one third of that sum. AS the redund-
ancy OF foreign merchandise in the com
Try, which has produced this extraor-
dInary reduction of duties in the fourth
quarter OF the year, will continue to in.

THE GAZETTE.
From the Boston Palladium.

O tell me not that Vine 7cill soOths
o tell me not that WINL will soothe
The heart deprest with woe
O tell me not that Wine will smooth
Grim Fenury's haggard brow;
For though its wave may beam as bright
AS evenings brilliant tear,
1t cannot gild Misfortune's night,
Or calm the sinners fear.
20 tell me not that Beauty's smile,
('rhat sun Of cloudless morn,)
Can black Despair of woe beguilc,
Or blunt Affections thorn;
For though awhile its beams may play
Where health and pleasure bloom,
Disease will shroud its pleasing ray
1t shines not in the tomb.
10 tell me not that Fame can give
The cankerd conscience peace;
10 tell me not that Fame will live
When hope and life shall cease;
For though it points where honor bleeds,
And bids the bosom burn,
Yet, as the lightning swift, recedes,
When Time hath graspd his urn.
But tell me that Religions ray
Can light the soul to heav'n,
o tell me this can point the way
To Him on quicksands driven,
And I'll believe for well know
That this alone can save,
That this can chase the clouds OF woe,
And gid the PEASANTS grave.
