Piney Woods planter and Amite union literary reflector. [volume] (Liberty, Miss.) 1838-1838, 1838-03-03

The Woodville Republican has not
pretended to controvert the point, that
the establishment of National Bank
at the North would continue the trade
of the country, in that channel, still he
thinks the ''South requires only fair
play to do her own commerce." We'll,
do we ask any thing for the South but
fair play? We want the South to be
permitted TO use her own credit in the
prosecution Of her own commerce.
Now, how can she do this if her credit
is transferred to the North to be used
as capital in trade, managed by men
who have an interest in breaking down
our commerce and compelling us to
trade, with them? a National Bank
will have the organized credit of the
whole United States, at least to a GER
tain extent. What constitutes the
credit of the country2 Principally the
productions of the South. Now if we
Iii yqe tho 'Nortn- portion of our credit
% be used as capital in trade, wiz we
not deprive ourselves of the use OF inc
same? We think the proposition is CON
elusive, unless the able editor OF the
Republican can demonstrate that the
same thing can occupy different spaces
at the same time. If he can do tips; - nc
will match Mr.. Pentland, or nc Nd
hab Marchael. He need ''G ledt 70

rona which they and the world knew
~ I'D be uniform, and it is not likely
.Gat they would contemplate another
to take its place, or to aid it, which the
history of the world proved could not
be uniform.
The Republican is mistaken in the
objections which we urged against Gov.
Lynch's message and the establishment
of National Bank. We never object
ed to it because it ''would establish a
uniform currency, and thereby contin-
ue the trade at the North" 1t never
did, and we believe never could estab-
Gsh uniform currency, and therefore
we could not urge that which did not
exist as reason for any thing. We
contend that our cotton bales will
prove the best regulators of exchange;
and five are permitted to use our own
credit, we will soon control the ex-
change and the commerce; and instead
ofbeing tributary to the North as we
always have been, we will, five are as
avaricious as they have been, be able
to make them tributary to us. Upon
what dothe people ofthe North depend
but on our cotton bales to replenish
their warehouses and their Banksl
Ifnofhing but gold and silver shall be
taken for dues to the Government, who
can import goods from Europe but
those who control the cotton bales9
five are true to ourselves, we will
PROSTATE every attempt to get up ma
tional bank, and in few years south
ern cities will grow up, the planter will
have the importer at his own door; and
he will save from IS to SO per cent. on
exchange and the expensive agencies
at New York and New Orleans through
which his exports and imports atPre-
,cnt have to pass.
