OUR CURRENCY.

The miserable state OF our currency I
source of yexation and loss to every
ciiizensof our State. Complaints are
made that every thing is ruinously high, ii
price, and that our money isruinously de.
preciated, and that, indeed, it is impossi-
bic to tell what kind Of money! is safe to
take for labor, provisions, and the ner-
chandize necessary to the wants of the
community. Can the public help them.
seIves9 The answer is obvious. For
more than a year the people have beer
suffering and yet no panacea has been
found TO heal the disease of the currency.
The only hope has been, with those who
have not been bound TO the car Of the
idol, Van Buren,, that a change of rulers,
which, from the signs of the times has
been happily effected, would restore to Us
better times. Mississippi IS redeemed
from the graspof an overbearing, insult
ing and avaricious party, aud the Wings
have the ascendancy. Theresult Of this
win be, a thorough examination ofthe
Banks Of our State and as a number Of
them have already announced their inten.
ton Of resuming specie payments on the
1st Of January, the Wing Legislature will
compel the others so to do, OF take from
them their several charters. The Banks
of Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, and
the other States around US viii have Re.
sumed the payment of specie on the LIST
Of January, and Mississippi must not Be
behind. The Legislature, therefore, viii
compel every bank to resume that can,
andthose that cannot mnstgo down. The
fruits of a Wing victory viii, nextwinter,
be seen and enjoyed by people suffering
under the evils Of a deprecated cur
