The approaching elections in the State of

siderations that can influence the prosperity,
happiness and safety Of great community.
The extent Of her territory, the magnitude Of
her population, the enterprise of her people,
the resources of her agriculture, the amount
Of her manufactures, and the universally Of

vital stake in the issue now pending before

Loco-Foco PRESCRIPTION.

Ii has become the fashion OF the Loco. foco
presses, to prescribe every one who does not
think, move and act, in accordance with the
dictates of those whom they serve. For that,
Mr.. RIvEs, and all the other Republicans,
who like him, had the Independence and moral
courage to resist Executive dictation, were
prescribed. They have been denounced and
stigmatized in the official organ, as I" RENE
GADES," The banks are prescribed; the
merchants also Those in. our large cities,
who by the sweat Of their brow, by their own
industry and enterprise, have amassed for
tunes, and thereby been enabled to erect
comely dwellings; they too are denounced.
Those too, who made fortunate adventures
at sea, do not escape; they too are classed
among the "lazy louis"

The official organ Of the lst instant, does
except the clergy, the lawyers, and the scholar
in his study, from its otherwise indiscriminate
proscriptive Remuneration. But, il seems that
while they are exempt, they too must be on
their guard the former in his pulpit exhorta-
tons; the latter in his professional engage
ments.
This has been fully cxemplified recently, in
the case of REvERDY JoHNsos, Esq, Of Bal
timore. We have seen that he has of late
been singled out as the target at which the.
Loco.foco, "by authority press Of that city
has aimed its enyenomed shafts. Having
listened to his argument with instruction, and
his eloquence with delight, in the celebrated
.Mandamus case, before the Supreme Bench,
we were naturally led to the reflection, why is
il that he is thus singled out for persecution
and prescription We came to the conclu-
sion, that il is the penalty inflicted on him for
having assisted in leading the judicial
branch of the Government, to judgment
Of condemnation against one Of the usurpa-
tons of the Executive Branch.
Are we not rapidly approaching similar
state Of things to that which preceded the
bloody despotsm in France, of Danton, Ma
rat, and Robespierre?

DIVORCE OF BANK AND STATE-THE

this agency, in payment of public dues: and

ASSAULT ON THE INTEGRITY OF CON.
GREss BY THE OFFICIAL ORGAN

The Globe about month since, referring
to loans made by the banks to members Of
Congress, said that, Sin 1891, the year before
the Presidential election, the loan run up to
1922 900; and in 1872, when the charter was
depending, the veto given, and the election
on, the loans ran up to the enormous sum Of
s47s,oOo divided among foty-four members !
This was at the rate Of upwards $4,000 each,
while their pay as members could not have
averaged $4,000 each. Doubtless, every one
of these voted for the Bank"
Ii then complained that the committee which
made the report, from which this information
was collected, had not given the names Of those
forty-four members.
If the editor of the Globe will look at the
journals, he will find that every member Of the
Pennsylvania delegation, but one voted for the
Bank. Among them were G. M. Dallas,
w. Wilkins, H. A. Muhlenburg, Henry Horne,
and others Of the same stamp now! There
is proof to show that some Of these men had
been accommodated By the Bank, and had been
bank attorneys. Does the Globe mean to in
