INDEPENDENT TREAsURY.-This meas

the extra session of Congress, two years
since. Elections were held that tested
its popularity in all the states of the Un-

decided in its favor in eighteen of the
the twenty-six; VIZ: in Maine, New Hamp-

Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Ohio,
Illinois, Michigan, Tennessee, Missouri,

A LAST EFFoRT.-One Of the candid
ates on the whig ticket to represent this
county in the next legisature-an ex-ed-
itor of the bank and federal "Adyocate,"
published at this place, is, through his
tools and the columns Of that paper, try
ing to make the people believe that the
reason he is so unpopular, AID that even
those who voted for him before will 60
against him now, is because he left the
county unrepresented in the last legisla-
ture-u,ed his influence for the banks, and
against the people--took by his voice in
the legislature the damages off the banks,
which they were bound to pay if they
failed to redeem their notes when presen.
ted, and passed to its second reading a
bill incorporating nine members of the
"Amite Library and Debating Society,"" in
stead of the whole society, and in word,
making it what its members despise--an
arfstocratic, monarcihcal. absurd affair
and then left 1.-THE child of his own
pate, to perish, or be fostcred by the stran-
ger.
These, through his friends and the CO.
lumns ofa centemptible sheet over which
he once presided-a hired tool of party
ne says are the causes why the people will
not give him further support. This is not
true. Although one of the many reasons
ne states ought to damn him as a politi-
clan; still they are not the causes which
prevent his election. He 1s FEDERAL
IsT-A BANK MAN-HIs PRINCIPLES ARE
OBNOXIOUS; these are the reasons why he
cannot be supported.
He admits that he voted for taking the
ia per cent off the banks, and apologises
for it, hoping the people will forgive him.
He is avowedly the friend of the banks /;
yet, claims to be the friend of the people.
His effort to extricate himself from the
position he is in before them, only rem
ders him the more ridiculous. This he
never can do. He stands before the peo-
pie as the bank advocate, and shall be held
responsible.

PROTEST OF $l0,OOO,0OO OF THE BILLS
OF THE BANK OF THE UNITED STATES AT
PARn.-The New York Sun says, speak
ing of the news by the Liverpool steam
ship, from England:
The tenor of this intelligence does not
vary the complexion of that which has OF
late proceeded it. The most important
item, perhaps, to the people ofthis country,
is the dishonor of 1000, 900 OF the pllls
Of the Bank of the United States at IA
rio; and though, as it appears by the ac-
counts, the house Of Rothschild, at Paris,
has temporarily aided those drafts, the
shock to the credit of the bank in Europe
is irreparable. The banking firm OF hot
finger and company are well known
throughout Europe for their opulence and
independence; they are held in the high
est estimation for their honor and integ-
rity; and it is not likely that they, tor the
sake Of two hundred thouand pounds or
more, would refuse their acceptance, even
by way of accommodation, to an instltu
tion or which they have acted as agents
for the long term Of twenty-five years,
without being impelled by reasons OF an
irresistible nature, and being conscious
that their refusal would be virtually a
break up of the Bank of the United States.
Upon these premises the "LiverpooI

assume that it is so-that the bank is sus-
pended, and that the end will be ces-
sutton of the enormous and ruinous spec
ulations, and wind up, at the expiration
of three years, with as potent dividend
as circumstances will admit.
BY the Liverpool we learn that "sus-
pension Of specie payments BY the Bank
| of England, is confidently predicted "-
that mammoth institution is, with all the
aid Of government, unable to stand the
torrent. Who "made war upon it?"
A New Orleans correspondent Of the
Free Trader says:
"Thus we see the great bank bubble o
the United States has burst. In time
of unusual commercial and agriculture
prosperity throughout our country at large
the banks of the states have been "weigh
ed in the balance and found wanting" |
will be of no avail to say that an Unite'
States bank--a real government organ
could have done better. The real simol
Il pure United States Bank did the sam
thing twenty wears ago, when she had n
reason to complain of the want of gov
ernment endorsement and countenance.
AS far as Mississippi is concerned, thi
northern bank suspension will do no mis-
: chief; it will make our hi nplasters, com
paratively, more valuable; that is, whel
compared with the shinplasters of othe
! states.

BANKs.--In our last we spoke of the
suspension of the banks. From the New
Orleans Bulletin we learn that "the pres.
idents Of ALL the banks" in that city met
and passed tine following preamble and
resolutions:
"Whcreas intelligence has been recei.
we'd of the suspension of specie payments
by the banks of the principal northern ci.

SION
Resolved, that in the opinion of this
meeting, suspension Of specie payments
by the banks of Louisiana is inevitable
and that, therefore, the immediate adop.
ton of such measure is urgently called
for by the best interests of the communi-
ty.
Resolved, that it be recommended to
the banks to suspend specie payments
till the northern banks shall have resumed
their payments in specie.
Resolved, that the rules and requla.
tions of the board of Presidents, in force
during the late suspension of specie paw.

The CLovEN FooT.-The Democratic
Wings, as the four year old party call
themselves, deny being the old federal
party disguised. But the old federal par
ty held just such doctrines as the mod
ern wings hold; then, what difference
does name make? ga rose by any 9TH
or name would smell as sweet;" federal
ism is not the less obnoxious becase it
comes masked and bearing the once re-
vered name of Wing. read the following
extracts from modern whig papers and say
if it does not SAVIOUR strongly of the old
federal leaven.
"Free suffrage is curse to any people,
-Proridence Journal.
"It is fundamental mistake that the
people may be governed, or will govern
themselves by REASON."-N. Y. Ado.
"The great mass of the people are, ant
always must be, very incompetent Judge!
Of the qualifications necessary for the
chief magistrates of great nation."-
Boston Atlas.
"Men who have an interest in the sol
only are allowed to vote in Rhode Island
Our elective franchise is SO free, so un
checked, so heedlessly ruinous that Anne
{ ricans are not rulers in their own land
Rhode Island has shown US the value o
checks and restraints on this right of vo
ting g."-New York Star.
Such is the whig doctrine, as heraldet
by the organs Of that party; and if the,
are not federal, pray tell us, what ar,
they? We will tell you what they ar
not. They are not republican. ThougI
the sentiments Of modern whig prints
they would pass current in Boston at an
period, or with A. Hamilton. Thos. MOI
ris and John Adams, in 1900.

THE Vine CREDIT SYsTEM.-Of all
the political heresies and ridiculous no
tions of the soidisant Wing party, their
late improvement on the credit system is
the most ridiculous.
"The solvency of Bank does not de-
pend on the amount Of specie in its
vaults.n
"Bapk issues are in fact nothing more
than an exchtnge cf promises"
"Specie in a bank is matter of nc
momeRt at all."-Palmyra Wing, fed
eral paper.
And the New York Courier and Enqu
rer says: "Let the banks at once, and by
the return of the Great Western, Shit
TO ENGLAND ALL THE SPECIE IN
THEIR VAULTS" This is going for a
sound currency with vengeance. Is
this not "tinkering with the currency
in the broad sense of the phrase? This
is the real refined whig shinplaster sys
tenn. What next?

THE FEDERAL CREED-WHAT Is IT.,
The patriot answers :-"They have no,
creed! They are mere faction, without
claim to the dignity which the name Of
party confers. They oppose every thing,
right or wrong. The democrats take
pride in avowing their principIcs-prn.
ciples by which they are prepared to
stand or fall. They lay out their en-.
encampment, plant their cannon, and
make all the arrangements for scien.
tific trial of strength; while their oppo
nents are all for skirmishes and predatO.
ry excursions, sending out detachment
to play the Indian, or fight with Russian
Cossacks for plunder; when repulsed they
rally on new ground, and resume the
attack in some other quarter. They fght

clples. They are made up OF the Odds
and ends of every faction--the aspiring.
the disappointed. the selfish, the proud
and unthinking. The object is the over
throw of the democratic ascendancy--il
they have any creed beyond this, WI
should like to see it unfoded. The onFI
wonder is, that any honest intelligent man
who seeks no privilege above his neigh
bors, will remain in their ranks moment

The WHIGs AND THEIR BELOVED BANK.
The wings well know, that without a
national bank to regulate the members of
Congress, or that part of them who rep.
resent dollars and cents, and the unprin.
cipled editors, such as We BIB, Noah, Gales
g. Seaton, &C., who regulate all their mo.
tives and sentiments to the tune of thou.

We Gllude TO Mr.. CHEEvEs, whose ad.
ministraton of its affairs saved the bank
from insolvency. In 1887 he expressed
his opinions in the following language

will not aid but embarrass the restoration
of the currency Of the country; and that
afterwards it would be an institution in
finitely dangerous under many circumstan-
ces and in many views. Iadmit that, un-
der very wise and circumspect manage
ment, it might be useful; but it is as GER

Congress have no constitutional power to
establish such an institution; and this, |
