Think for one moment, gentlemen, with what promptness the 'Whigs of'76 l attended etery call of duty-what hardships, wI,a, dangers they encountered, to place you and your chi dren upon the high ground you now occupy. IL has ever heen of the highest gralificalion to US that the liberty and equal rights which were purchase ed with bood would he transmitted uninraired to the la,es, generation And until the present admin istraiion. nothing has occurred 10 blight these fair prospects.

 My anxiety is so great, that if, your way so the polls, your should my house in flames do not stop them, provided will cause the loss of sn- gle for the constitution and laws The house can be rebuilt; but should your be wanting to make majority in favor of our country, how could we es- mate the loss?

 "THs BANK PARrY."----Which is the " Bank party '" The Jackson Legislature of 1883 chartered sir Banks, viz: the Merden Bank, Whaling Bank, Mystic Bank, Farmers & Mechanics Bank, & Mer- chants Bank. The whole amount of the capital of these six Jackson Banks, thus created in single year, is ttrO millions aud eight hundred thowsnnd dot 1 kars.
 In 1832, two Banks were chartered; in 183l three; in 1880, from 1925 l829 both nclusive none. In 1924. one; and in 1922. three. The whole num- Der of Banks thus created tn years ror to 1883 being ten: and the whole of their capital f1Do 1siiliras and thyee btsndred thousaad doitars.s
 The whole nu,nter of Banks existing al the com. mencement of the session of the legislature of 1892 eight and their aggregate capital two millions and nine hundred thousand dollars.
 Thus that al a single session, h Jackson Le- gislat~re created bankiog capital, ny just haif million of dollars, than had been created in il.e ten preceding years and almoei half much ae there ex- is,ed in the Sa,e. In view of these fscfs repeat again t6s inquiry.

In them wealth is accumulated, and they ,o live forever. Whatever changes may take place in society-whaiever vicssitudes may heial the people, whatever revolution may affect the government, these chartered privileges are remain unalierably the 1 same" The impression which the writer evidently
