ringing of bells and firing Of cannon. At
eleven o'clock the Sheriff of the County,

number OF respectable inhabitants, attended
by band of music, moved in procession
from, the Coffee. House to the State House.
where the Proclamation was rend by the
Sheriff, three huzzns given, and thirteen
cannon discharged. A number of citizens
dined in public, aud after dinner the folIow-
ing toasts were drank, attended by salmtes
of cannon. The day was spent in the high
est iestlyiy, Joy sat on the countenances,
and sparkIed in the eyes of every Wing.

traitors and enemies of their country, that

iba, ve had been struggling 10 prevent, DESTROYED
the relations existing between debtor and credit
or. by depreciatiug fifty per cenium' which the
moor debtor Is compelled 10 pay. Hence, as they
have wantonly disturbed those relations, they
have thereby changed he position Of the people
themselves, placed themselves without the pale
of our regard. and have no further claims upon
our mercy.
Misunderstanding all these aggrayatins facts,
e people will at this moment be satisfied with
the banks of this city, if they will do as much tor
our citizens as other hunks are doing for the
communities no do business with ihem We
learn from good authority that The Brandon Bank
has already used exchange TO the amount OF one
million three hundred thousand dollars, and Is still
checking for planters to buy their necessary ar
ticles of consumption, at five per cent. on New
Orleans, and seven on Philadelphia. The Rod
ney Bank has, and is purchasing supplies for
planters at specie price, while our citizens are
paving two prices for every thing they consume.
Is not this enough to make " Bank Reform"
the waichword
By sustaining the banks for one year from the
suspension Of specie payments we brought their
paper from a discount Of ten per cent. TO dis
count ofiiity per cent. BY making war upon
them, we have taken the reverse Of the PROPOSE
ton and have, since we raised the cry OF " Bank
Reform" improved the currency ten per cent,
and we shall not cease in applying the scourge
ill the banks are forced TO trng their paper up
to ten per cent ofpar.

doubt that every bank director who is a member

BANRING lNFLUENcE.-The power Of sup
plying this country with currency which the
banks possess, is an equivalent TO the whole power
oil the people, when the banks choose to exert il
against them.
We know that through the potent agency Of
bank, Legislature has been turned in favor Of
any particular project, and single commercial
house has been able to put up candidate in a
Parish, when Il certain person was necessary TO
their priyate interests. The last has been done in
IN the following manner:
Suppose that A is commission merchant in
| Ne" orleans, u, his Droner Is the president Of
bank in this city, is planter in a country par
lsh, and you have all the parties in this political
game of back CANNON
Is, the Bank president, has advanced large sums
OF money to A, the commission merchant who
has advanced heavily with it on C's sugar. The
sugar sells for less than the advance in the north;
is unable from his expensive habits, to refund
the advances 10 A, who is consequently unable TO
pay his notes to b and this running round in a
circle, the whole bubble bursts. BIS bank sus-
ponds specie payments, the commission merchant
and the planter fail
Now, 1t is very evident, that il the Legislature
should grant reliei law TO b, that is exempt him
IRON the liability Of paying his debts, B would
be able TO advance money to A, who would then
be able TO get through. The very best thing then
for the two brothers, would be that tho planter c,
should be sent to the Legislature; for being SO
deeply in debt, he would not dare vote otherwise,
than as Messrs 4 b directed, and moreover,
tho facilities which bank members Of the legisla-
ture receive from the banks, would soon enable
him TO pay for the losses on his sugar
b then writes TO his friend {, the planter, or
derIng him TO set himself up as a candidate for the
state Legislature; G being, as it is technically
termed, under the screws, is obliged to obey; anC
should he be elected, how far he would consul
the interests of the people, the people can Judge
Such things have been done in the U. States
they may possibly have been done in the state o
Loulsiana.--.NeiS o. leans SeuIhcrner.
What would the Southerner think of one BauI
sending five or six Of its Directors TO the Legs
lature, who voted in every instance to exonerat
it from performing the obligations imposed on
: by its charter What would the Southerner ais
say, when other Banks took the hint, and appoint

BANK REFoRM.-Om Banks were instituted
for certain specific purposes, and intended TO con-
trIb lie TO the common good, by furnishing cir
culating medium, equal in value TO gold and sill
yer, but more portable. We only propose now
to discuss this one point. twas delicate pow
er which the Legislature gave to corporations
that of furnishing the people with a currency--a
power which we do not believe the legislature it,
self possessed. That grant places at the dis
posal OF corporations, the privilege of fixing the
the price Of property, or Of changing ii at plea
sure yet so long as the banks furnished crcu-
lating medium that was at all times convertible
INTO specie, none complained. The paper with
which they have flooded the country gave fic.
tItlous value to property, threw around US false
glare Of prosperity, and al the very moment when
the illusion was dispelled, when the tnsel was
worn and the people were compelled to call for
a redemption of the paper rags in the never fail
ing standard, gold and silver TO save themselves
from ruin, the banks ostentatiously declare and
publish that declaration to the world, that they
will not fulfil their promises. BY so doing they
defeated one of the main objects of their crea.
ton, and every charter was subject 10 be revoked

by sustaining them they would in turn sustain tn
