The Republican Electors" Of the town Of Lansing
My, adopted the following resolution At recent
meeting $500. si .F. fi. .
Resolved, That we approve OF the present safety
fund system Of banking, until better be devised
that we are in favor Of correcting any evils that may
exist in present system; and that we will unite
with our fellow citizens in any measure which may be
deemed necessary for increasing our specie basis for
sale paper circulation but the idea Of having lex
elusive metallic currency" is in the opinion Of this
meeting perfectly visionary and impncticable. It is
also the opinion Of this meeting that general banking
law would be unconstitutional, and independent Of the
constitutional objection, would have direct tendency
to increase the evil so loudly complained Of to vii, the
excessive issues Of paper money"
From tho proceedings at Enfield, New York
Resolved, That we are in favor Of well regulated
system Of credit because it gives the poor equal prs
eges with the rich but would recommend reform Of
present banking institutions as to give confidence
to the holders OF their bills We satisfied our coun
try has prospered under the influence Of present
institutions, and that existing enbarrassmenis are
not owing the msl-adminstraon Of either the gene
raj or state governments but was caused by over
trading, speculation, Ga species Of fanaticsm in
which the whole community has participated, and over
which the government had no control
From the Central Committee Of Kingston, N. Y
Resolved That we believe sound, safe State Banks,
confined their operations 10 the legitimate purposes
for which they were created, useful auriaries TO the
agricultural, mechanical, commercial, and other ME
rests Of the country" a.s
From the Wesfchester RepuJlean /.
The MEssAGE.-In looking over this document, can
dor compels to say savors too much Of the Loco
Foco doctrine for our taste but, however, we may
differ in some Of the positions assumed, it is evidently
the production Of strong mind, an acute and pene-
trating understanding, and dressed in smooth unos-
entatous garb seldom il ever before witnessed on such
occasions Il is moreover bold, frank, and undis-
gused exposition Of the views and sentiments Of ito
thor, and away the charge Of
tai The general tenor of its conclusions drawn
from tho book Of life, pretty faithful dencations.
With respect to the public revenue cannot per-
ceye that that part Of the Message is directed by sound
policy or prudent economy. That individual, who
cevcs the public money and locks il up from circulation
would not be useful member Of society-the same
rule would apply to our public functionaries Money
intended for circulation and il the citizens can be
benefited by that operation without loss TO the state
they should be gratfed and he who proposes the best
plan TO secure that object public benefactor This
be done by leaving the money in the hands Of
the receivers, nor have much better opinion Of its
convenience or ultimate safety TO the government
Credit is as good money any day. Destroy that,
and you rob the honest poor man OF his capital
The Geneva Gazette says -" The idea that to dis
sent from any measure suggestion which the Pres-
dent may recommend, is to abandon or oppose is
erroneous in the extreme, and not consonant with our
views Of republican doctrines"
