 Sir. in the face of this pariizan denuncia- tiom sf thu Pr9perty of the country, lnder-
 take to say that if any fact in political science
 be susceptible Of demonstratiO the insepara-
 ble connection OE capital and IaNoss is that fact. Fake the e1ample of our banks, which 1 are pure monietf institutions. Who are chief { ly interested tn their welfare? lsit the rich Is 1t. as we have heard so emphatieshy and 1 confidently assertedhere to-day, the rich cap- iialists !--' Do you employ the poor,' as t has been affirmed this morning? By no means. Never was there wilder delusion. Desirous,- some time ago, of understanding the prceisc
 fact. had recourse, in the first place. to the books of the Merchants Bank, NewburypoFt. to which had right of access in capacity of director. Personally knowing every stock
 holder, his condition and pursuits, went
 carefully o~er the dividend hook of that hank,
 and found that of its 5000 shares, S922 he Flonged to women and public inslitutisns, 1885
 belonged to the mechanics. and only lO42 to
 any description of capitalists. Struck with
 this result made similar examination Of the
 stock book of the Mechanics Bank in the same town; and of the 2OOO shares into which its capital is divided, 946 belong to wo-
 men and public. institutions, 593 to working
 mechanics. and only 46l to capitalists. Not
 content with this I;pursued my inquiries lo
 different banks in the city of B0staar and ]
 found the general fact substantially fiae same. 1 with this qualification, namely, that although
 in Banks newly got up. larger proportion of
 the stock occasionally belonged to the carl
 talists, yet in a few years it all tsek the Ordl-
 nary course of getting into the hands of wo- \ men. public institutions and thrifty mechanics.
 speak adyisedly in this matter.on the strength
 of carefully prepared estimates of which I have assingle example taken at mere hazard. l Thus the stock book of the bank I have in mind, exhibits this result. or 10000 shares. l28S4 are held by women, trustees and guar. 4 dians; 2s47 by public institutions: and only .l 1851 by capitalists, and the remaining SS8Q by men 0f the industrious classes.

 Al length we may discern one faint glinlner fof light in our political prospect. MT. Cal
 hOun has devised a, new plan for nsss Ma
 tional Bank on principles which wholly avoid
 the constitutional scruplss of the southern
 representatives, and which wilkbe generally
 acceptable. The plan has. herp submitted to
 a number Of the Senators of different parties, land has been decidedly approved, particularly | by those Senators who ara opposed, on con-
 stitutionai grounds, io the rceharter of the Ipresent Bank, and who are at the same time
 averse to Gen. Jackson's experiment ea the
 currency. 1t is also nnequivocall allysappF0sed.

 are friendly tOfshe PFesident. Mir. Clay has
 adopted the plan, and it will he brought for
 ward. three or four weeks hence. under the joint auspices of Messrs. Clay and Calhoun. It is wels known that it will pass the Senate l by more than two thirds. and tt iseOniidently
 believed that, before the session closes. it will
 he adopted, as compromise, hy two thirds kof the H0use. The particulars of the plan
 have not transpired to the publicss Ta this
