PUBLIC OPINION.

The following sensible resolutions we extract from
the published proceedings of republican meeting at
Ithca, N. Y.
Resolved, That while we have confidence in the
Banking system Of this state being sale and Judcious
in its essential features, and believe that destruction
Of the SYSTEM or mpairng public confidence In Its safety
and stability, would be unreparabe INJURY TO the
people OF the state who have hitherto sustained high
character of commercial enterprise and prosperity we
are ready yield support to any measure Of
ton reform which is necessary to render u all hat
wisdom or prudence can desire x
Resolved That period Of common calamity IS no
time for recriminaon urging or experimenting theo
retical questions but that mutual iorbearance ana
united exertions and industrious and prudent aPPi
cation OF their resources the part OF the people, ana
firm straight forward adherence to republican policy
on the part of the general and state governments WIN
soon extca,e the country from its present commercial
and pecuniary embarrassments.
Resolved, That we are opposed to all radical doc
trnes and measures whether they bear the aspect OF
modern whiggery or locofocoism--oi aristocracy or
mobocracy-that truth, wisdom, and safety are 10 DC
found between the extremes-bounded by the ancient
landmarks OF the democratic party and sustaining the
constitution, the prosperity, and legal institutions OF 'ne
country.
Resolved, That acknowledging and cherishlng an
equality OF political rights and privileges, we are OPP
posed to every attempt TO create caouses and dlstinc-
tons between the various classes Of community as anti
republican in principle and mischcyous in effect lhat
farmers manufacturers mechanics, laborers ana mef
chants, are all necessary to the welfare and improve
ment Of civilized society; that they are mutually de-
pendent upon each other for success in their various
cainqs and what for the actual welfare OF one branch
Of these pursuits promotes the prosperity o. all

Further effects Of Loco Focoism.--T head-
ministration have met with serious defeatin
Maine. The republican candidate for gove-
nor has been beaten, and instead OF our usual
majority Of nine or ten thousand, we are now
in the vocatiye And why is this ! The an
swer is plain. Men have become alarmedat
the progress of Loco Focoism. They have
been told that it received countenance in high
places-that the party in power recognised as
in their ranks the professors Of that creed, and
they feared its destructive effects. Those
who were content to remain quietly at home,
while the good Of the people was studiously
advanced by the pillars Of our party, turned
out to man, when they were made to be-
lieve that Loco Focoism was fostered IN us
stead while others, active republicans, have
thrown their weight into the scale OF the OPP
position, from conviction that even whlgge-
nv is less odious than Loco FOcoism. We
regret that any have thus mistaken their true
interests, and that their fears have led them to
contribute to result so disastrous as our de-
feat in Maine And yet, SO long as we leave
room for the supposition that Loco Focoism
and Republicanism can travel the same road
yor can by possibility unite; so long shall we
be liable to similar defeats, and we hazard
nothing, in predicting, that unless the connec-
ton is absolutely and unequivocally dissolved,
and such dissolution made apparent to all, that
our overthrow is certain. State after state IS
lost to us, the wings gain the ascendancy, and
a National Bank is established upon the ruins
of "untried expedients.' Better march on In
the old democratic path, neither swerving to
the right to shake hands with the wings, nor
to the left to recognise loco focos. Both are
to be avoided, and both deserve undated hos
tility.--Poughkeepsie Journal

MISSISSIPPI BANK ARRANGEMENT

The much prosecuted Brandon Bank has
taken the first step to redeem her own credit
and that Of the State. The directors have
resolved to advance money to our planters to
the full amount Of the present crop, together
with half the amount Of the succeeding one,
at an interest Of seven per cent.-cotton
pledged by the planters to be delivered at
Grand Gulf or Vicksburg, as the planters
may find most convenient. From these two
points, the banks will ship their cotton to
Europe, where it will be sold for gold and
silver, and the money brought back for the
use Of the State.
Planters cannot but foresee the great con-
venience arising from this arrangement. They
not only save the expense OF transportation
to New Orleans, but also the commissions
and taxes Of every description incurred by
selling their cotton at that city.
The expenses amount in gross to about 81
per bale-the crop Of Mississippi is about
$4,000 bales-the expenses, therefore, Of
the transmission and sale Of our annual crop
at New Orleans, amounts to one million four
hundred thousand dollars-leaving out OF the
question the 90 and 25 per cent commissions.
Let every bank in the state Of Mississippi
adop, the policy Of the Brandon bank, and its
five millions will be retained at home, to build
up our commercial towns, and pay the annual
expenses of the planters.
But the story is not half told. This policy
will be the inevitable means of efiecting a
resumption Of specie payments by our banks;
Cotton will not only purchase goods, but will
command gold, and if the banks have cotton
they can redeem every dollar Of their paper
in the northern cities without picayune OF
specie. Thus our banks will be furnished
with sirtcen millions of dollars in specie, by
the annual product Of our soil. Who is so
blind as not to see that it will Immediately
raise the credit Of Mississippi bank paper, at
least above any other State in the Union
Biddle's bank in its palmiest days not ex-
cepted
BY such policy both the banks and the
planter have nothing to risk, but every thing
to gain. The present non-specie paying IN
terdict will be Immediately removed-our
forty-6ve millions Of State Bank paper will
come into circulation, and Mississippi, abused,
scoffed at and trampled under foot as she
has been, win arise like a Phoenix from the
ashes of its ancestors, redeemed, "regenerat-
ed and Disseminated" as was the slave

BANK CONVENTION.

The bank Of the State Of North Carolina
has agreed to unite in the proposed Bank
Convention, with the view Of fixing upon q
day for the resumption Of specie payments.
The president and directors Of this bank, we
understand, regret that an earlier day was not
fixed upon for the meeting Of the Convention.
They are prepared at any moment 70 resume,
when the banks generally shall enter upon
the measure. We do not believe there is a
bank in the Union in sounder condition. 1t
is fact highly creditable to the directory Of
this institution, that Of the S6 deposite banks,
according to the report Of the Secretary Of
the Treasury, only two have more specie in
their vaults, and not one appears TO be SO well
prepared to meet its Liabilities.
