DIVORCE OF BANK AND STATE.-We per-
ceive that this scheme is becoming somewhat
popular with portion of the democratic press.
As we understand it, the proposition is, that
the National Government shall not recognise
in its financial operations, the existence of
paper currency or Of banking institutions. 1t
is generally admitted that hanks cannot now
be dispensed with, however unnecessary it
may be thought, by some, they were at the
commencement of the credit system Ifthen
we must have a paper circulation, one must
see that it must inevitably be deprecated if it
is discredited by the general government
throughout the whole of its extensive system
of receipt and disbursement.
We cannot see the necessity of refusing
good bank notes in payment of u. S. dues,
and we cannot but regard the project under
consideration as empirical and capricious,
fraught with present and prospective evil and
involving an abandonment Of the old policy of
the administration.
If the state banks can furnish nothing bu,
deprecated currency, when the whole in
tluence of the national government direct and
indirect, is brought 10 bear against them, the
people will seek sound paper medium, which
they must have, in an u. ). Bank and we
caution the supporters Of the scheme alluded
to, not to drive the people to such an alterna-
tive
What becomes of the system Of measures
to which the national government is pledged,
with regard to 2ie placing the currency Of the
country upon sound basis, by attempting, as
far as its powers 90, the abolition OF notes Of
small denominations, if this new scheme il

OuR CouNTRr-The following 10 an extract
from IN Grafton, delivered by worthy patriot q
quarter d q century since. That it contains
some valuable truth overy true lover Of his coun-
try whatever his political principles may be, will
readily admit. May the evils which il pourtrays
ever be far removed from Us:
THAT virtue, both in those who commsn nj and
who obey, is absolutely essential to the exstance
Of republics, is q maxim and q most important
one in political science. Whether we retain n
sufficient share Of this virtue to promise ourselves
a long duration, you, my friends, must descide.
Bat should the period ever arrive, when luxury
and intemperance shali corrupt our towns, while
ignorance and vice pervade the country-when
the press shall become the common sewer Of false
hood and slandcr--when talents and integrity
shall be no recommendation, and open dere!iction
Of all principle, no obstacle to RECOMMENDATION
VIC shall entrust liberties to men with whom,
should not dare to trust orr p.operty-when
the chief seats Of honor and responsibility our
gov eminent shall DO filled BY characters ofwhom
the most malicious ingenuity can invent nothing
worse than the truth-when we shall! sec mem.
bers Of our national councils, in deflncc Of the
laws Of God and their country, throwing away
their lives m defence Of regulations, which if they
ever existed, had been long lost-when, IN fine
VIC shall see our Legislators sacrificing their
their their oaths, and their conscences, al
the altar Of party then we may say that virtue
has departed, and the end Of liberty drawetf
