Literary paper at Richmond, Va. Mr. Tho
mas w. White proposes TO commence literary
paper under the title of the Southern Literary
Messenger at the metropolis eff this State, in the
course Of next month--an enterprise which we
trust may succeed. There is much literary ia
lent scattered throughout this State, which
might be drawn into action by the stimulus which
il would receive from a well conducted local
journal Mr.. White will, doubt not,
deserve well of the public, and we wish him a
commensurate portion Of patronage aud profit.

Csobbler stick TO your idst.--Mr. Cooper the
novelist, who recently arrived in This country,
after residence Of many years in Europe, has
undertaken, in pamphlet published in New
York, an attack upon the measures Of the Senate
of the United States, and Indirectly defence OF
General jackson. From the few extracts we
have seen from this work, we arc led to believe
that it will add little to the reputation of Mr.. c.
As a norel tcriter he has met with great success
jim many instances far beyond his merits. But
out of that line, he does not appear to be pecul-
arly brilliant. He had better not NEEDLE with !
politics, as there is pecessity for his doing
His novels sell well; but his pamphlets will, we
apprehend, hang fire; besides, he is too late in |
the day for the defence Of the President.
Judge Mclean has been drawn out by letter
from several gentlemen in the county of Phila-
delphia, who were DESTROYS of ascertaining his
political sentiments. He appears to be decidedly
favorable to a National Bank, but does not give
his views of the present institution. He gives
the coup de grace to MIR. Taylor Webster, and
Mt that we arc well pleased:
CINcINNATI, June 6, 1894.
GENTLEMEN:-Your letter of the 22d ult. was
received yesterday, On my return to this city
in which you request to know my opinion on GER
tain subjects of public concern.
1t has been my course, through life frankly &c
avow my opinions on all subjects, in converse
ton; but have a repugnance to the publication
of my views, even where they have been mis-
represented. On the present occasion, hav
received letters from so many sources, similar
yours, that justice to myself and my friend
seems 10 require from me answer.
A national Bank should be effectualy guarde
against abuses and consistent with the rights
the respective state governments. The powt
of Congress to establish a Bank would seem
have been as fully settled, by the respective az
ton of the legislative, executive, and judci;
branches of the government, as almost any 9th
er constitutional question which has been ser
ously agitated. And experience has most clear
ly demonstrated, that the local Banks cannot a
ford the necessary facilities to the fiscal actio
OF the government, nor give to the country
sound and equal currency. And it can scarcel
be necessary TO say that no nation can be prospt
Yous, which has not sound and equal circuatn
medium.
As to the other enquiries in your letter, I hay
10 say that never advanced an opinion to VI
Taylor w ebster; favorable TO the removal of Il
deposites, or against their restoration / c,
pressed 10 him no opinion upon the subject n
upon the propriety of the removal of MIR ID
anc.
have the honor to be, with great respe,
your obedient servant, JOHN MCLEAN.
