A most extraordinary and destructive
hailstorm occurred near Tate's creek XIV,
about three miles from Lexington, on the
night of the 4th instant The growing rye
corn, and hemp, for the space ofthree miles
in width, were almost entirely destroyed.
The hail fell, in ravine where the storm
principally ragged, TO the remarkable depth
Of two feet. Thirty five hours after the
storm the hail lay upon the ground foot

BANK MoNoPoLIEs-- should very
much like TO know, what the Globe and its
destructive satellites mean BY the term Bank
monopoties? To our mind il is an absurdi-
ty in terms; and 10 every mind acquainted
with the English language, il is perfect
solecism.
What is monopoly? 1.-THE EXCLUSIVE
pririiege Of selling any cOwmodity-Me aet
Of engrossing, so as 10 hare The sole poacer
Of selling any thing"
What does Bank monopolise2 The ex-
elusive privilege of loaning money? Any
individual in the country, who has dollar,
can exercise the same privilege. And what
sort of an exclusive privilege is that which
is not confined TO one bank but is equally
exercised by about eight hundred2 Ger
tainly not very exclusive one, especially
as there is no limit in the laws or constu-
tions of any of the States, to increasing the
number of banks to in6nity.
What monopoly is there in the ownership
of stock? Every man, woman, or child,
who has dollar in the world, may invest
| il in Bank stock, and share raeable pro-
portion of all the erciusire privileges and
advantages of this aristocraic monopoly
| ~ 'HSic Ue any luStitutlOn III tue country
totally Invested OF all erclusice privileges, ii
appears TO us. it is an incorporated State
Bank, whose stock can be owned by any
man. woman, or child in the WORLDi and
whose money can be borrowed by them -
And such an institution the DESTRUC

II is a greater absurdity, than to call King
Solomon's matrimonial relations, cell

Banks are the natural antagonists OF 3al)
monopoles. They are the greatest disirI

ment of the Mechanical, Agricultural and
Commercial community, the unwearied
and indefatigable energies of American
enterprise, are once more giving evidence
of higher and fairer prospect before u.s.
That quiescent attribute, which, for time,
seemed to mark and designate our down.
ward proclivity to carelessness and indif.
ference, has fortunately awakened from
its sluggish apathy; and partially disn.
thralled from the fatal influence Of too
blind credulity in the infallibility Of
those whom we have elevated above US,
may we not still indulge the hope, that
there is yet held in reserve, a happy re.
suit in the experiment of this last and
once purest Of Republics?
lnstigated, in part, by that grand revol,
ution which has already commenced, and
which is still going on in the opinion Of
the people, so far as respects the political
relations existing between the respective
States and the Federal Government, the
present Proprietor is about to embark in
the publication of the Liberty Advocate.
Two years ago, this journal dated its
origin, at a period when, in this County,
It had many difficulties to encounter, and
the strongest opposition to contend with
The enduring, and, as we conceive, ortho
dox principles, which have nurtured and
sustained the journal through "good and
through evil report" had then in their in,
fancy, buta mere minority which sustained
it. But, the resistless march OF human
reason, before whose advance all obsta'
cles must ultimately recede, has brought
about u brighter and a fairer dawn; and
the philanthropist and the patriot can
now look in prospective upon the re-
visit of those purer days, which once
pointed to the destiny of our much be-
loved country. =.
