No less than eighteen of the n umerous banks
chartered by the loco foco legislature of Michigan
have burst up after swindng the people Of mil
lion of dollars! and TIM, they originated in nothing
but known intent to defraud the commu unity il
palPable from the fact that one half of CIR die
not live over months. This is the effect Of the
legislation OF that party who, among the many mic
names with which they favor the wings, indulg.
most in naming them banktes,rag barons &c, in tn,
vain hope OF inducing people to believe tina, ,he
precept and practice agree: whereas while thei
hired pack cry down with the banks, their pecu-
lating leaders are rnising more false banks to de-
Jude the unwary, than raised to the eve of q
novice by wlntry night on the foggy lake. Even
the New York Post charges them, it's own party,
with this unvarying practice, nay, attributes their
defeat in the Empire state principally to this fact
Although the experience Of every coming day
more clearly proves that all the fraudulent moned
institutions tina, hare been created claim paternity
OF the party in power, i, is useless TO show it,
though never so palpaby for their pack viii atiIl
renew the cry again and again. To indulge the
hope OF convincing men whose nature lends to
err, is Just about ms wise as trying silence noisy
dogs with whipping, for the more you Ia si,, tn Q
louder sill they yep.
