BRANDON BANK

We have little to add to our last, but the
the assurance TO our readers that so soon as
a report can be made by the commissioners.
as 10 the situation of our Bank, that its SOL
vency will be reduced to mathematical
demonstration. They came here preiudiced
against our Bank--they have acknowledged
(one in particularly that they determined TO
ferret out every abuse. They came--ex-
amined-found all in the main correct.
They expressed themselves astonished how
such reports could gain circulation. We
have received no detailed statement, but we
give It as fact that can be relied on, that
the commissioners have found no bank, save
one, IN the State, more solvent. That her
issues have been large, we admit; but fell
low citizens of Hinds, Madison, Yazoo and
Rankin, have ye not known the cause could
man refuse the oft-repeated appeals Of the
most energetic and industrious of your COM
munitys That some have received too
much, we expect, but fnlse representation
has done and will do much evil. We see
nothing "strange about this matter" 9th
er banks in the State refuse her paper; edi-
tors abuse her, insert vile and petty rumor;
New Orleans jobbers insist on heavy dis
count, she never can pay upl-yet take her
paper!!
The people cannot use Brandon money
unless at heavy sacrifice; they of course
become alarmed, and what before was tri-
vial, now became combinations strong as
proofs of holy writ" Let every bank take
her paper in payment, whose condition is
no better, and "Roland for an Oliver in
l2O days our paper will be best.
We believe this bank has undergone a
more thorough scrutiny than any other ever
has in our State, and with all this we learn
that the very many charges are false. We
are sorry that the Commissioners are not a.
BILE now to come before the peopIe-tbe
community feel an intensity of interest. We
do believe that the Bank has more friends
than any in the State, and only wait time
to know the whole truth. We say to oall-
be of good cheer, the Brandon Bank will
triumph over her enemies, whether they be
foreign or domestic--"Magna est vertas ct
prevalent"
We doubt not that ere this the Sentinel of
Vlcksburg has given enough to the people
to show them certainly that this Bank is as
fair as any, save one, that they have exam
lned. And that paper should have much in
fiuence in putting things straight, because
II has said much against banks, and we be-
lisve the editor will fearlessly say what hc

WHO is TIE ABOLITION CANDI-
DATEi

We shall publish the following and other
extracts from the leading abolition journals
OF the North, for few weeks, in order to
how the people to which candidate the alb
olitionisls intend giving their support and
suiIrages.
From me Pennsylrania Freeman, one of
The most viOleat abolition papers:
''We regret that truth and the cause of
humanity, which he has betrayed, compel
us to speak of HENRY CLAY as an ensmy
IN freed,mn HHisre-
cent course in the Senate of the U. States,
has reluctantly compelled US to consider him
a most dangerous ENEMY to the cause OF
UNIVERSAL LIBERTY"
The editor then proceeds to notice Mr.
Cay's antiabolition resolutions introduced
into the Senate this year, and in reference
to them remarks:
"This is taking ground in favor ef PER
PETUAL SLAVERY. There is no mis-
taking the language of these resolutions
They 90 for slavery nOp and forerer.
We are sorry for Henry Clay
He has entered upon the humlliating and
debasing task of propitiating the demon Of
slarery."
The Emancipator, the leading journal Of
the aboIitioaists, thus speaks Of Henry Clay
as candidate for the Presidency:
"If he will but go to Liberia, that Para
disc of the whole earth, he may there exer-
else his office in all its minutias; but if he
stay here, Martin Van Buren BEFORE Hen

nissioners. The report will soon be lald
before the public. We have undoubted au-
Ibority for sayingsthat the examination has
resulted highly creditably to the bank-that
she is in as good condition as any bank in
Mississippi, and far better than majority of
them. The Brandon Bank will have the
means of paying specie by the first day of
January next We have no doubt but the
notes of this abused and prosecuted institu-
'tion will soon be regarded every where, as
equally valuable with those of the Planters
Bank.
The report shall have an early insertion
in the SUN.-SOHthern Sun.

Steam Boats or the Western Waters
Our friend John Ii. Wood, has just publish
ed a table, showing the name of all the
steamboats, navigating the western and south
western waters-aso the tonnage of each
boat and the time and place which each one
was built.
This i. a useful and interesting table, and
is, no doubt, as accurate as it is practicable
to make one. II is handsomely printed on
a full sheet of fools cap paper, and ought to
be in the counting room of every business
establishment in the city We believe it is
TO be had at all the book stores.
1t appears from this table, that there have
been built altogether 397 boats, for the west
ern and southwestern waters-Of these |
was built in IS26-3 in 1921 in 1880,
3 in 1890 in 1926 in lS33-36 in
1880 in ls35--I00 in lS36--9I in
1887 and 81 in 1888.
The largest number was built at Pitts
burg. and the next largest in Cincinnati, viz:
i32 in the former, and l02 in the latter. In
Wheeling there we're 10 built, in New Al
banv 20, and in Louisville only 6. The
rest were built al Cincinnati, and embrace
a larger amount of tonnage than those built
at Pittsburgh.
The whole amount of tonnage of all the
oats is $500 tons.

LYNCH LAW Poaerizing Lee, the
monster recently sentenced to two years inn
prlsonment in the Penilentiary at Baton
Rouge by the Criminal Court Of New Or
leans for an outrage upon his wife too hor-
rible for description, was on Monday last
brought up to the first mentioned town in
the steamer Levant, to be incarcerated pur-
suant to sentence Immediately after his
landing, he was taken from the guard that
had him in custody by number of the
most respectable citizens of the place and
PoHerized, after which he was returned to
the proper authorities, and at the last ac-
counts was lying in very dangerous sltua-
ton. His recovery is considered extremely
doubtful. We do not think that there are
any circumstances that will justify 'Lynch
Law" but all the vile brutes we ever heard
of, this man Lee is the viest; and It is GER
tainly some extenuation Of the conduct Of
the citizens of Baton Rouge to know that the
laws of the State scarcely contemplated
crime so horrible as that for which the mon
ster was tried, and consequently the legal
punishment was not at all adequate to the !
offence. Whether our neighbors acted
right or wrong, we shall not pretend to de-
eide ;but Lee deserves no syampashy. Hang
ing would have henr good for him ,---ief.

Of brass and steel, or have YOU become SO
accustomed to fabrication and falsehood for
the party, that you continue that course
without repugnance of cOnsciencef Or, is
your conscience scared, as with hot iron,
and consequently you have no feelings of
regret for having published the most black
and diabolical falsehoods the human heart
can possibly conceive of. for political pur-
poses, in order to deceive the gnorantl
Or, are you so much depraved by nature,
that you can see no difference between vir-
tue and vice-truth or falsehoOdi The
Pennsylvania Freeman, the most violent Of
the abolition papers OF the North, holds the
following language against Mr., ,Clay:-"We
regret that truth and the cause ofhumanity
which he has betrayed, COMPEL us TO speak
of Henry Clay as an enemy to Freedom; his
recent course in the Senate of the United
States, has reluctantly compelled us to con-
slider him most dangerous enemy to the
cause OF universal liberty" The same ed
itor then proceeds to notice Mr. Clay's anti
abolition resolutions introduced into the
Senate this year, and in reference to them
remarks:-"This is taking ground in favor
of perpetual slavery; there is no mistaking
the language of the resolutions ;-they go
for slavery now and forever" And yet,
you, Mr.. Besancon, have the effronlery and
mpndence to call Mr.. Clay an abolitonist;
his own language and denunciation before
the Senate Of The United States last winter
TO The contrary Notwithstanding am no
dolater or manworshirer, but there is anoth-
er sentiment which must admire, viz: Duly
to appreciate merits and talents wherever
they may be found; and as to Henry CLAY,
there he is at Ashland, with all his public
acts before him; and five examine we shall
still find him on the "broad platform of the
constitution" the advocate of every great
national measure which will crown his
country with prosperity, happiness and gIo-
ry. Ancus.
