We know net what course is likely to be taken
by the Reform Convention in respect 10 Banking.
But we are very sure that the people require some
constitutional provision this subject. The whole
Banking system, existing at present, is founded
on error, and productive oflastng and the most Sc
rious injury. In vain do we look TO the vigiiuncs
and fithfulness Of legislative bodies to guard the
people, continually and with entire success against
the inroads Of Banking abuses.--The capitalists,
stock obbcrs and spectators at time or other,
find convenient time to get their charters, and 70
accomplish their purposes. This is shown by his
tory. After intervals Of every few years, say eight
or ten, a period occurs Of Bank mania, excessive
issues, most extravagant speculatonf, reyulsions,
decay Of credit, and pecuniary embarrassment and
distress. While the people think all safe, these a
buses creep in. Therefore we think that the con-
stituton itself should contain some clause Oh the
subject, which will secure this point. We2mnch
far that there is not strength enough il the Con
vsnton to carry it; but at least, the trial should
be mads; and perhaps somc one or two members %
the opposition, may break loose from party, and
90 with the advocates Of truth. we WISH success
TO the trial; and hope that II will DC made with
an ardor and revolution worthy ofthe location.

TnE DIfFERENcE.-The Hartford Times con-
tains the following excellent article, showing the
difference between the conduct of the Democrats
and Aristocrats, iii their efforts to relieve the pe0-
Pile which were made in the late Congress:
nile the democrats throughout the country,
at all times and under allcircumstances--in peace
and warm prosperity and adversity-go for their
country, and do all in their power for its welfare
1.-The aristocras, or as they call themselves wings,
arc always throwing distractions against every
useful measure. During the late session Of Con-
gross, the democrats have, like true patriots, done
all IN their power for their country. We rejoice
| that they have done SO, and that they have been
faithful to their trust and supporters of our govern
rent and constitution.
s.These are our feelings, and the feelings Of ev-
cry genuine democrat. What say the Wings !
Their leading organ, the Courant, says, tee are
gratifed to be able to say that nothing has beer,
done, or proposed to De done for their country by
| tie tchtgs. During the late war the same party
exhibited the same split. Then, as now, they did
nothing and proposed nothing f.r the country. On
the contrary they voted against furnishing supplies
to sustain the bleeding and suffering soldiers oui
frontiers, and they also voted that it was unbe-
GINNING moral and religious people to rejoice Iii
the victories obtained over our enemies. Such i:
ths aristocratic feeling of those who have andea-
| vQed 10 disguise their real sentiments under the
names federalism, national republicanisn, wings
Sc. There are some who have gone with that pa.
tN until Witnessing the proceedings of the whis
members during the last session, who are now de
gouncing them. The article in the Courant dis
ilayed the Hartford Convention feeling of the Sc
1 cretary in manner TO shock his own readers anS
! friends. Benedict Arnold did not display create
tufpitude, real hatred of his country thar
is contained in the infamous article of the Courant
An article which every patriot must view thjus
abhorrence and indignation.
i "a few months since, this same Courant, am
most Of the wing papers, denounced the Presiden
for not converting Congress, although but abou
half the members were then chosen. Bet havn
convened thom at am early day, the Secretary {
the Hartford Convention, the leading wing editc
in Connecticut, is gratifed that his friends hav
: done nothing, and propose nothing, but oppose e.
cry thing for the country. Is there an honest mar
Or patriot, who approves or chooses to be asse
ciated with such leaders!

GAMBLlNa.-- is but line that separates
innocence from sin. Whoever fearlessly ap-
proaches the line, will soon have crossed it,
Tokeep at distance, therefore, is the part Of
wisdom. No man ever made up his mind to
consikn his soul to perdition at once. No man
ever entered the unknown avenues which con-
duct 10 such an end, with firm and undaunt-
ed step. The brink of ruin is approached with
cautpn, and by imperceptible degrees: and
the wretch who now stands fearlessly soothing
there, but Yesterday had shrunk back from
the lettering cliff with fear and trembling.
Do you wish for an illustration! The prof
ligate's unwritten history will furnishit. How
inoflensive its commencement; how sudden
and awful its catastrophe! Let us review his
amusement. Nexthe hazards a trife, to give
interest, and is surprised to find himself gain
or by the hazard. He then ventures, not with
out misgiving, on a deeper stake. That stake
he loses. The loss and guilt Cypress him. He
drinks to revive his spirits. His spirits rev-
we'd, he stakes to retrieve his torture. Again
nc is unsuccessful, again his spirits flag, and
once more the inebriating cup revives him.
| Era he is aware, he has become bankrupt.
Resource fails him. His fortune is gone. God
has Withdrawn his spirit from him. The de-
mon Of despair takes possession of his bosom.
AReason deserts him---he becomes amaniac.
The finished gambler has no heart. The
club with which he herds would meet, altho'
the place Of rendezvous were in the chamber
pf the dying; they would meet, though it were
in an apartment in the charnel house. The
Heath Of kindred affects not the gambler. He
would play upon his brothers. coffin; he would
Hplay upon his fathers grave.-.-DR. NoTr.
