Messrs. TorHILL g. HALL:

Messrs. ToTHiLL g. HALL:
In looking over the newspapers Q
the day, see that numerous countie
have held meetings, expressive of thei
appreciation of the Sub-treasury, and op
position to United States Bank; likewis,
appointed delegates to the Democrat,
Convention, to meet at Jackson, on the
Sth January next.
This is the proper and only course to be
pursued by those who are opposed TO 9
National Bank and the elevation of Henr,
Clay to the presidency. Will not Amite
follow the patriotic example set her b,
her sister counties; will she not throw of
that lethergy, heretofore so strikingly ma
nltest on the part Of the democracy in re-
gard to elections; will she fold her arm,
in cold Indifference to this matter. while
the enemy, with rapid strides, are march.
ing, flushed with their late victory to the
battle field. Shall we not, like the lion,
when he shakes the dew from his name.
renew the contest with increased ardor.
This will be the course to awaken the
people to sense of their situation-to un-
derstand the advantage of the Sub-treasu-
ry, the detrimental tendency of a U. S.
Bank, to the interests Of the South, and
the netarIous plans of the Bankites, Fed
erallsts and Abolitionists, to bind in fet-
tiers, more calling to the freemen of Mis-
slsslpp, than was the yoke of proud and
naughty Philip to the humbled Greeks.
Let Amite, and the other counties gem
orally, pursue the course taken by Kinds,
and others: and by the next election. facts
which now lie hidden, shall be unfolded
and brought to light-facts, with which,
when the people become acquainted, will
cause reaction throughout the state.--I
neh VIII frentlss, this adulator of Web |
of the Bank, and parasite of
Henry Clay, hear the unwelcome sound of
depart from us thou worker of iniquity,"
then may he say, in truth, that the people,
not the Speaker of the House of Repre-
has 'poked" him out ofbis seat.
Then shall the veil which now wraps in
mystery the acts of the Bankites and A.
be taken of, and their black
md dlabolical schemes appear in bold re-
lei; and then will every democrat--every
state KIghts-man, every lover ofhis coun-
ry and Republican institutions, cry with
ae accord, down with H. CIay--he who
'Ould act the part of Theresites had he
he strength of au Agamemnon--and to
Ne flag of Van Buren,.
And now for the accomplishment Ofthia

sir, that scuh was the character of the
speeches delivered that evening by
YOURSELF Mr.G. w. p. Gusts, and sew

most positive terms, that / refused to

doing so, the entire change that my

THE ORATOR. RnNn.

The speech of this Bank bully has beer
Pushed on the community with great yea
IN hopes that 1t might produce the desired
effect before the truth could nutralize its
influence, but the triumph, however. was
short as that of the Generals who died of
Pestilence, caused by the slain ere he
got them inferred. Bonds speech went
forth, and that of his colleagues followed
soon after, and showed how utterly un-
founded the statements were--destitute of
all that can make such speeches valuable
or lnteresting-truth. Mr.. Duncan. his
colleague, showed how devoid of principle
the man must be who could make such
charges--the premises wrong, consequent
ly, the conclusion. But principle was not
the object, it was interest. The follow
ing from the New Albany Argns will ex-
plain the matter:
"When facts are examined, the incen-
tive to the deIicery of the pamphlet called
"Bond's Speech" is not so marvellous. It
seems that Bonds property stands mort.
gagged to the Bank of the u. States to the
amount of eleven thousand three hundred
and thirty dollars!!! This explanation
should be quite sufficient. He could afford
10 stretch the truth for that sum.

The panic party that always "ri,es
as the country sinks, and sinks "a tbe
country rises" as old Matthew Carev
once said of the federalists in 1913
have lost their great panic leaver in
the rich harvests throughout the coun-
try and in the active and profitable bu-
slness prospects with which the season
has opened in our commercial cities.
Our agriculturists have well based
hopes of good reward forthe products
OF their labor; our merchants find their
counting houses the appropriate field
for their energies; our mechanics are
no longer complaining of want of en-
ployment; specie has taken the place
Of wing shin-plasters; the policy Of the
National Government, as people freed
from artificial excitement begin better
to comprehend it, is daily receiving the
approval of many who have heretofore
been most violent in their opposition,
and general prosperity as it crowns the
land, gives confidence and Better
feeling even to those who have been
the loudest among the crokers and pam
lc stricken. The cry of"war, pesti
lence and famine" has now no tcrrors
and the course of Democracy is tri-,
onward.-Bal. Republican
