EXTRACT.

Mr.. Quincy alluded to the clamours
about the organization of the federal
party. He was not shrprized that the
democrats complained of this organize
ton, for the disorganizaticn of the fed
eral party was their object. He would
tell all he knew about it. The first he
ever heard of the ward committees was
about year ago. He had some reason
to recollect it, for they very civilly turn
ed him out of office. He had been a
member of the Senate for several years
he liked the office, and had no objec-
tion TO serving several years longer
He was snug in his birth when these
gentlemen of the ward committees, with
out saying qcitb your leaDe, OF by your
leave, turned him out-tumbled him O.
verboard, into the salt water, before he
could say Jack Robinson. This gave
him something Of shock-it would
give any man shock to be tossed from
a warm hammock into the cold water.
He had nothing to do but to get ashore.
When he got the salt water out of his
eyes, and his ears, and his mouth, he
saw that all this was right was as it
should be. 1t was just as the federalists
always do, and just what they ought to
do. He would not give fig for, the
federal party if they would not exercise
the privilege, at any moment, Of turning
their officers overheard and making
sharks meat of them.
Of the general committee, MI. Q.
said, he had never heard till about
fortnight ago. He was sitting in his
parlour when two gentlemen came in,
and informed him that he was one of
the general committee. He presumed
the gentlemen to be friends, though he
did not know them from Adam They
wanted him to attend a meeting of the
general committee, but did not tell him
what the business was. He resolved to
go, because he always went wherever
his friends wanted him. He determin-
ed, also, if there was any mischief, any
juggling going on, to tell of it, and blow
up the whole committee. Well, he ac-
cordingly went to the meeting he met
there seven mechanics, two or three
wharfingers; but not single lawyer,
except his brother Savage. He called
Mr.. Savage brother, because Mr.. S. is
every body's brother, and every body is
his brother. They talked Of the wind
and the weather, and such matters, for
half an hour, when one Of the gentle
men proposed that shey should attend
to the business Of the meeting. And
what was this business +? It was simply
to nominate some twenty or thirty men
from the ward to meet like number
from the other wards to agree upon can
didates at the ensuing election. Moth

not appear to be the case, in the 'nstltu-

the freeholders OF this county 20 request
the governor to convene the legislature,
to set aside tina, act SO lately passed by
it, after full and ample discussion. II
would certainty be useless to call the

thing surer they would tread the same
ground they did before, that is as to the
majority; and it would be reasonable to
expect that some would follow them
from the minority, Oh account that there
has been some money spent on 1t, and
appears to progress in such a manner as
to ensure success to the undertaking,
which is so much wanting, and have
not a doubt of its complete success, in
case the people let the business slide
along unmolcsted.
A word to the directors, WHO have
been selected throughout the state, as the
most proper for the undertaking. And
well as the plan is laid, and the final
security of its paper secured, all depends
upon their discretion and management.
Particularly, and above all, not to lend the
money to any that there can be the small
est scruple of either their honesty or abb

but there will be men Of a contrary

with convenience come up to the stipu-

ing domestic manufactures, that must
give us start to the greatness, that the
fertility of our soil and moderation of our
climate must admit. From the nature
of things, it will not be prudent to emit

THE TRIUMPH.

Fellow Citizens-You doubtless re-
collect that a meeting ofthe freeholdcrs
Of Madison county was requested at Ed
wardsville on the 18th inst. in order to
demonstrate against the State Bank
This, to be sure, occasioned the friends
of the bank much trouble and uneasines.
But every plan was laid, and every ex-
crtion made, in her behalf. The day ar
rived. Nothing could have been more
fortunate. The day was so stormy that
very few came in from the country; and
a scheme to call off many of her enc
mics to work at bridge on Cahokia
creek, on that day, answered our wishes
exactly. The high-minded citizens OF
Alton braved the inclemency of the wea-
ther, and came almost unanimously, to
suhhort her.
1t was truly gratifying to see the fol-
lowing characters joinedwith the citizens
of Alton in support Of the bank, viz
Men who wish to build Brick houses
with her paper; also, our two repre-
sentatives, who voted for the bank in the

specie in the nation at SIG, ,00o, and
bank notes in circulation at 500 600, 900,
during the year 1915. Individuals, how
ever, who may hold these notes, are not
alarmed because the banks may not have
the ability to pay the whole amount in
specie, in case they should be presented
in mass for redemption, at the same mo-
ment; but each holder is satisfied, if he
considers they have the means OF paying
him individually the sum he may pos
sess, when he shall demand it; and OF
the certainty Of such capacity he has
much confidence from experience, when
these institutions are conducted honestly
and iudiciously; for this reason he re-
ccives the notes, and values them equal
ly as high as the specie they represent
A writer on this sub ect has very clearly
explained it. /" 1t is this consciousness
of individuals in the ability of banks to
satisfy their individual claims, that makes
them indifferent about demanding hem,
and enables banks to issue notes 70 an
amount far exceeding the quantity of
specie detained in their vaults, and of
which these notes purport to be the re-
personalities" The concern Of banks
does not lie in being a, all times prepar-
ed to liquidate the whole quantity OF notes
they have in circulation, but it lies in
being at all times prepared to liquidate
that portion of them which may be ac-
tually brought for liquidation. 1t is OILY
through this system that they are enablrd
to increase the capital of the nation; for
it would not be increased, were they
forced to keep distracted from circula-
ton, the same amount Of gold and silver,
as represented, by their notes; SO much,
therefore, as the amount of notes which
they emit exceed the amount of specie
which they abstract from circulation,
so much the national capital will be in
creased. 1t is also certain, that the notes
of individuals exceed in amount, not only
the specie of a nation, but also the bank
notes OF the nation.
We shall in our next examine the ca
pital OF the Bank of the United States,
and show satisfactorily, that even this
institution Is not founded on as good a
basis as most other monied institutions,
if the confederation of our union should
at any time be in danger of being dis
so.I ed, or in any way hazarded by for
cign wars, or intestine commotions; and
demonstrate conclusively, that all banks
must depend on their general character
and credit, mere than their immediate
specie resources, if they calculate to do
a profitable and extensive business.

them nothing decisive is given in rcla-
ton to Missouri. The Lexington Mont
ter Of The 18th inst. says, however, that
letter had been received in that town
from Washington, dated the eth Feb.
in which it is stated that Missouri had
been admitted into the union, by a vote
Of 81 to 81.
The people Of Ohio have beenrecently
thrown into some confusion, by an act
Of the lcgis stature, regulating the judicial
courts Of that state, dated ON the SECOND
q February 1921. The act takes effect
from and after the first day Of February
NEXT. OF course the courts are not
authorized to sit till that time arrives :;
and they have accordingly in some in
stances suspended their functions.
Ohio does not appear to have execu-
tive officers of such profound wisdom as
Illinois is blcst with; otherwise there
would not be any cccssty OF suspending
business on account of the blunders of
the legislature. AS an instance of the
superior knowledge of our executive,
we will cite the following case: At the
session in February, 1919, a law was
passed for taking census of the inhabi-
tants cfthis state. 1t was made the duty of
the officers to be appointed, to commence
the enumeration on the first Monday in
August, and to take an oath that they
would complete it by the first Monday
in December following. BY law of the
same session., the governor was author
ICED to apportion the state into electoral
districts, on the first Monday in Sehte NJ
Der, according to the returns of that cen.
sus. 1t was thought that His ExceIIency
would be put to nonplus in the cxecu-
ton of this duty; but, to the astoni,hmen
OF all who were not acquainted with his
powers dlvination, he did, on the very
day appointed, issue lis proc Iamation,
making the apportionment, citing the
aforementioned acts as his authority.
1t is said by some, who wish to detract
from the governors merit, that the
Prime Minister should have portion of
praise allotted to him, as the lerul aa-
oiser Of His Excc!lcncy; but, in our
opinion, he can fairly claim nothing more
than the honor of having drafted all the
laws of this description during that ses-
sion-the members, deeming themselves
incompetent to write their own bills, EN-
ployed him for that purpose; for which
they paid him the sum Of fifty dollars,
not out Of their own pockets, but from
the state treasury.
The laws of that session excited the
public admiration, for their consistency
and grammatical accuracy, generally
and they were ridiculed by none more
than by those who rallied under the ban
ner of the redoubtable secretary, at the
last election, who was in fact the author
of them.
Were the people of Ohio as discrimi-
mating as those of Illinois in selecting
their chief magistrate, (and, no doubt,
from population of more than 500 900,
they have ample materials for such Sc
lection they would not, in the present
instance, be under the necessity Of sus-
pending their courts of justice.
