From its nature, the influence of a bank must
be allied 10 the aristOcracy OF wealth, and not 10
the democracy of numbers and this s more espo-
cally the case with great chartered banks having
immense power The late bank Of the u. States
was one Of this description, and lis political lnfu-
ence was prodigous.'

We have received one hundred and seventy-three
now subscribers within he last six months, while
two only have discontinued and seven lun away
We have received too many evidences Of encour-

grateful thanks on this occasion. Ii is indeed
cheering to know that our abors are approved by
the people of Mississippi; we shall continue to
devote our best energies to their interests and the
principles of genuine democracy. To their pa

its support, and when it proves recreant TO their
cause, il will cease to exist. 1t ever has oppos-

kind, all extensions Of the powers Of the general
government all needless legislation whether by
Congress or the State Legislatures. We go for
the supremacy Of the laws and the Constitution,
to which we will add, "uncompromisng hostility

fight, and it shall wave over our head so long as
there is a man left TO cheer US on TO the rescue.

forward and sign the pledge and live up TO it, u
the most etfectual check upon the great and alarm
ing evil Of intempeance.
A large number Immediately went forward an
