W On the question of resuming Specie payments
the LIST Of August the Philadelphia Banks were
divided, 10 to 4the four negatives being the Penn

which is supposed to speak Mr. BiddIes views, after
mentioning the vote of the Banks, says " it may

PROSPECTUS

IT is proposed to establish in the Town Of
Washington, North Carolina, a new paper ut

the political character of the paper, and the mo-

and warml y the doctrines of the Old Republican
party-the doctrines of 1898, '99-the doctrines
of Thomas Jefferson. 1t will maintain a strict
construction of the Federal Constitution, 1t will
of course resist the re-charter of a National
Bank in every form which Federal ingenuity
can propose. Such an institution is believed TO
be not only at war with the Constitution, but
the worst foe to the commercial independence Ol
