to hlu Iault Witn tne pfncipe or Oeneral Jackson, which is, that Banks ought to be put down." and that linen who do business on borrowed capital ought to break" Now, sir, am a strong Jackson man, and am not ashamed to own it and believe all the 1 principles Jackson has advocated to be correct And now will state my case in proof of the fact You must know then that am manufacturer, and | carry on business pretty large scale and l had plenty of money to begin with, without borrowed ca- 1 pital. Well, sir, when I commenced could hire | hands almost at my price, and if they did not suit me by doing as much work as told them they knew they would have a walking paper very quick Well, lmade money about as fast as wanted to for while but presently one two low fellows who had not more than five or six hundred dollars in the world went and set up little factory, and then went and oorroDed, yes, and out of bank too about as much more, and then came and hired some of my workmen, and paid them higher wages than did, and went to work right under my nose. But had money enough 1 and concluded would run them while; but the ! plaguey banks kept lending them money in spite of all could do to hinder it. And now they are worth nearly as much as am when, if 1t had not been for their borrowed captal,' could have Lad these very men probably to work for my own price; and has only been the of raising the price of labor by giving all these poor fellows employment but there IS another way that it affects who have ca pita enough of their own-and will mention parti- cuar case l found that grain going to be very scarce the last spring, and went and bought up two three hundred bushels of rye, thinking keep on hand until it would fetch good price, as I thought there was but little danger tfot could double my mo- ney. But there were several thousand bushels of foreign grain came into Hartford; and what did the merchants do but they went right to the banks and borrowed the money, and gave their notes for about ninety days, and bought the whole which they could not have done if it had been for banks-ior they had no capital of their to spare-and the conse- quence has been that have had to sell mine for less than it cost me. The banks therefore have been the direct means of preventing me from making several hundred dollars And say the sooner they are put down the better-and as long as Van Buren will fol- in the footsteps of Jackson, and go against banks and doing business on borrowed capital you will find me thorough full-booded JAcKsoNIAN
 fyou do not see fit to publish this in your paper shall send it to the Ines some other Jackson pa- per, and know they wil-for they go upon the same principle that do-they are true Democratic Repub- licans. J.
 The weather has been cold, and wet, and stormy almost every day for fortnight Very little sunshine has been seen, and no warmth to speak of in August has been felt h and the clouds have kept up perpetual weeping. The effect of this is very hard upon the crops and the abors at this busy of the year, of the husbandman. Wheat and rye are suffering rom so much moisture and want of opportunity to cure the grain. Last Sabbath day, are informed, many farmers were gathering their crops, which were

 CINCINNATI, Aug. l2, 1887.
 wrote you yesterday, giving you an account of the glorious victory achieved by the whigs in Col Johnson's Congressional District in Kentucky. They never fought and won a battle before when the odds were so much against them. MajOr Phelps was the regular Van Buren candidate, nominated by con yenon of the party, and supported by te party, with the exception of hundred that cast their votes for Judge Irimbie, an avowed Loco Foco; and who in all probability, would, under no circumstances, have voted for Major Phelps. MT. Southgate came out on his {" own hook as we say in the West-and took the trines, went for National Bank and as for Van Bu- ren and Johnson to use his own langunge-although not so very cassical-he "took the bull by the horns and spared not. l am informed that the Vice Prcsi dent took the field openly, and eectoneered for his friend, Major Pheips-gave free barbacues every Wednesday and Saturday, for three weeks preced- ing the eecton-and the days of election entreat- ed the people not to let his district go for the Whigs same county in which Tecumseh resides. In this town MT. Southgate beat Mn Phelps over 300 votes, and obtained majority of about 50 in Scott county
 have heard anccdote of Mr. Finne, high sheriff ming preceding the election, MT Southgate addressed the people of Georgetown, in which he portrayed the folly and wickedness of the present and past Admin lsraton in most glowing and glaring coors; and up- on resumng his seat, MT. Fnnell leapt upon the ta- ble and with much warmth made the following perti- nent address :-" Ny Jackson friends, 1 you teh as do noD since LhaUe Mrown cf the collar, you Would longer sLaUe. longer he Iriuute properfy of Dick Johnson or Andrew Jackson I am no,o G free man, aud happy onc"
 Its well to remark, that MT, FInnell had always been, up to that time, whole-hog Jackson Van Bu- ren, Dick Johnson Democrat. His address was re- ceived with shouts of applause; and the election, few days after proved that hundreds had broken their collar as well as MT. FinIlell.-5.
