ONE MORE HUMBUG!
JUNIUS.

Megsrs Walton and Son,--I accidentally
took up the Boston Post ofJuly 1 I, in which
found II letter from the late senator md now
governor OF New-Hampshire, Isaac Hill, in an
swcr to communication from Col Isaac Davis,
requesting his attendance at tho celebration Of
the late 4Ih Of July. The governor writes as
follows:
at has been charged on the friends Of the
present NATIONAL administration that they have
been instrumental in multiplying state banks.
and increasing the banking capital. Those
who make the charge oughtlo be mado TO know
il is not true. They should be compelled 10
acknowledge that it is the self styled Wing
party who are most earnest to increase banks
and bank capital"
Now for the smooth store OF truth. I pro-
pose TO give the increase Of banking capital,
in nine Jackson or Van Buren, States, since
the death OF the u S Bank. lie. the reader
note the words and figures, and see who de-
serve 10 be denounced as rag barons.'
/. refer TO Maine, which elected Messrs
Sheplcy and Rugglcs 10 the u S Senate, and
has increacrd It's banking capital from
S2,059,000 TO SS,459,S50.

mentcd its bank capital from

A. refer TO .Nclo York, which has given an
enormous increase, from
S25, 3Sl I, AGO to S37 1881 ,466.
5. | refer TO Louisiana, which elected V
Senator (Mr Nicholas,) and granted small
increase of banking pilal from
S27,l72,l las to S47, 10000
6. refer to Mississippi, which substituted
Walker for Pondcxter, and has increased its
bank capital from
$3.50, 600 to S5,s90,362.
7. refer TO Ohio, which, though a Wing
state now, has had and now has Y B. lesis-
laturc. The increase is
S5,000,000.
s. I refer 10 Tennessee, until recently an adj
minisiration state, where the increase is from
S737,sl7 to S2,s90,3sl.
o. refer to Missouri, under the charge of
that father Of humbugs, 7. II. Benton; it has
increased its banking capital from nothing 10
S5,000,000.

that in all the Districts OF the STATE, except
Two, the elections are going ,citb the Wigs.
In one OF the Two excepted Districts, Gel.

a sterling Wing, will be elected in the place
Of Mr.. Pey ton, who is about To remove
his residence to New Orleans. Col. Bell,
in his District, has beaten off ali shew OF

North Carolina Eieciion.--A lettor from
a friend ut Waynesborough, dated yes
terday, gives us the result OF the vote of
Wayne county, fer representative in Congress.
The majority for Shepard, (whig,) was thirty
one votes, with two precincts To be heard from,
(which would probably increase his majority
10 fifty, but at any rate, could not alter the re-
suit so as 10 give Moscly the majority in the
county"
Our correspondent adds, Tho udminisira-
ion claimed $50 majority, and the opposition
admitted $50. The result has disappointed all.
We haze no,c no doubt Of Shepherds election
This is glorious result Ia 1885, Jesse
SpcighI's majority in the county was 526. In
August last r. d. Speish's majority for Gov
ernor was $50, aud in November, Van Blu
ren's majority was 400, at very thin election
From this 1t will be seen what n wonderful
change of public sentiment has taken place.
In 1886, Speisht's majority in the whole
District (seven couniies,) was 7G7, Of which it
will be seen that Wayne alone has nouralizcd

HON. SlLAS WRIGHT.

The Hon. Senator is Mr.. Van Buren'5
master-nlectanic in experiment making,
and all that sort Of thing. He opposed the
Compromise bill, because Mr.. V. u. wish
cd TO keep up war between the North and
the South on the Tariff question. He at
tempted TO reopen this agiating question
last winter, because Mr.. V. B. wanted TO
arrpy Wing against Wing once more. He
advocated The removal oi the Deposites, be-
cause Mr.. V. b. wanted the spells TO buy
up the State Banks, and TO speculate in
lands upon. He is now for an uNTRIED

supreme. Hence Mr. Wright is denounclng

of which Dan. Soth, l9S4,) hs said IN eoh'

"The Senator from Massachusetts, has
asked-If you will not recharer the Bank,
or establish New Bank, what will you do!

that he would support the EXECUTIVE

He believed them perfectly and completely

that were to be apprehcndei iroIa The
change. He held that the steps already
taken TO effect the object in view were, all
warranted by the constitution and the fa,cs
Of the land. II was his firm opinion that the
steps which had been taken would rebound
to the honor and best interest Of the country,

doubts of yoOr political honesty and integrity.
Your present political associates can have no

your services, and may freely use you az

follow your dictatlon, only proves, what many
of your opponents have been unwilling TO adj
nit, that many Of your JoliO,cers were honest
men.
Sir, do not ask you TO return 10 the camp
