This Is certainly the age Of oanting. You, gentle
Banking has been abused in North Carolina YOU take
occasion to inveigh against all Banks.
TO argue from the abuse Of any system against the
system itself illogical and DOWNRIGHT can You had
as well denounce religion, because there are hypocri-
tlcal professors oft. What commercial people heyo
hourisiied without tho ad of Bankingi Genoa, We
NICE formerly owed, Holland, England now much
OF their prosperity To the establishment of Banks
Without the aid Of Banks how do you place the en-
terprising merchants of small capital on footing with
the great monopolst' Without Banks to create
competition will the farmers and planters get good
prices for their produce as from two or three
great capitalists that may nhabt orr towing
VIII they buy goods as cheapy. Away then with
eant'ng. Who assisted the country in time Of war;
On what foundation are your Board of Public Works
and your Literary Fund established, Because great
deal OF money has been wasted in attempts ut Inter-
nal Improvement does that prove TINT rivers and
roads arc to remain unnnprovcd that we are to let
take from us all our trade? Are we to give up the
Palladium of our liberties, because Editors sometimes
outrage decency in their remarks on men and inca
surcs Because treasurer becomes u defaulter from
the want ohoncsty, from the want of being called
to strict accountability by the proper authorities
are the Banks To be censured and abused? If there
be any profit in Banking, shall we be SO liberal to
bcstow it ell the u States or on the other States,
If there Banks i'll the State, would there be
one dollar more of specie in circulation Should we
not be deluged with the puper of Banks of which we
| know less than of our own! Think you, Messrs.
Editors, that the Virginia Banks have not suffered in
the general wreck of property incident to embargo
non intercourse and war; Could they avert the losses
arising from the pacification of Europes Could they
keep the prices of products i'm foreign countries
Could they cause abundant crops' Have they not
participated in the losses of the community, Have
they made no bad debts? Has no property deprecia-
ted in their hands. Yet under all circumstances have
No righfully demands specie of them and is not
satisfied. They have suffered, but they have been
true to the State and to the community. They have
oppressed no They have been indulgcnt credi-
tors They have not "speculated in cotton" nor
have they "givcn their money usury."
NO CANTER.

of the Court of Appeals of Kentucky, has been elect

the Sd of March next in the room of Col. Richard NJ.
Johnson whose term then expires.
DR.. Burr Harrison nominated by the admins
tration party and the stood for Bibb 3d. Harrison
90. Col Johnson seems to have been dropped rather
unceremoniously by his political ficnds-maugre the
extent of his zeal, which determined him to put out
the administration, "though pure the angels"
James Davidson has been reelected Treasurer Of
the State, against Robert Johnston one of Mr. Ken
dall's partners in the Argus-for Davidson TO- John
ston &c.
Kendall d. Meriwether were elected public prin-
tiers over Mr.. Holman editor of the Kentuckian, the
incumbent, and q friend of the Observation-Disclosures

DE made to turn on exclusive party grounds.

Littleton w. Tazewell, Esq. was on Saturday re-
elected to the Senate of the U. States, by an almost
unanimous vote of the Legislature.
