A. G. M,NUTT-THE UNION BANK.


Some of our editorial brethren have
taken us to task for publishing commu-
nication from writer who signed himself
+" democrat" Acting on principles that
we think should govern the conductor Of
every public journal; we shall never hes
itate to publish we'll written and temperate
articles, let them advocate what political
doctrines they may. With the opinions
advanced by aDemocrat,'' we have no
thing to do. We only asserted that he
wns a democrat, and expressed the opin-
ion, that If such state Of things existed
as he represented, that it would be well
for the leaders Of our party to endeavor to
heal such divisions. We now take occa.
sion to say again that the author has
always been ranked as a democrat, and a
distinguished one; and was,not long since,
run as regular nominee Of the party for
high and important office. Nor is he a
bank director, bank attorney, agent, or
commission merchant. If to doubt the
propriety Of running Gov. M'Nhtt on the
Democratic ticket, on the ground Of his
personal unpopularity and un6tness, and
his inability to unite the vote and influ-
ence Of the whole party, constitute such
a crime as to justly entitle I" Democrat"
to the denunciation he has received from
a few overbearing and incorporate politi.
clans, then indeed great many Of our
party are greatly in error. As our course
upon the subject has apparently given our
friends some concern, we avail ourselves
Of the present occasion to express our
views, both in relation to Gov. M'Nut,
and the Union Bank Opposed as we are
to National Bank, in any shape or form
upon the ground that it is inexpedient, as
we'll az unconstitutional; and at the same
time the advocate Of well regulated and
convertible paper currency; we have look
cd forward to the Mississippi Union Bank
as an institution, which, if properly con.
Quoted, would afford US a safe circulating
medium, and destined to confer inestima.
Bile blessings upon the State. We must

The loss by the Gre.-A committee APP
pointed by a public meeting ofour citizens,
TO ascertain the loss sustained by the fire
ot last Saturday, after careful examina-
ton, have estimated The amount of property
destroyed atabout $4,000. OF this sum
about $37 GOO was insured by the PortGib
son Insurance Company, $4,000 by the
office at Grand Gulf, aud about $4,000 in
Natchez,-The greatest loss by Insurance
compaLies ssil iasi upon our own office,
which is young, and has only been doing
business about year. We are Informed,
however "by authority" that the office
will be able TO pay promiy all its losses
as they fall due, and to continue business
as before. The wonder is that the Com.
pany is not entirely ruined, and it affords
clear evidence of the prudence with which
its affairs have been managed, that so dis.
tractiye fire could have occurred in the
very town in which it is located; and vet
that its loss should be comparatively SO in
considerable. The Bank of Por, Gibson.
which was burnt out, lost nothing but their
iron safe, which was total loss. Fortu
nately none of the books or papers were
left in it. The building it occupied, was
the property Of 7. Hopes Esq. A house
has already been procured, and as soon as
Its papers can be arranged, the Bank will
beall straight again. Our fellow sufferers
have all been most industriousIv engaged
in collecting their goods and effects, and
arranging them in such temporary bull
dngs as can be obtained, where their busi-
ness will be prosecuted until some better
arrangements can be made. Immediate
preparation will be made for re.buidIno
the part olthe town that has been bestowed.
and we have no doubt that before MANY
months, Port Gibson will be restored TO lis
former beauty and prosperity. The spirit
and enterprise of our citizens its unconquer-
able, and the universal determination
seems to be to meet the desolation without
fiinching, to stand up to the crisis like men
and by industry and exertion to recover
from its blighting consequences. We
have no appeal to make to public charity.
Contributions would no doubt be very ac-
ceptab.e and very serviceable in their pre-.
sent necessities, 10 some who have been
deprived oftheir home and their all by this
affecting dispensation. Butifany persons
have any money which they would be will.
ling to lend on undoubied security, at legal
interest, they may find some glad custom
ers among US, and will in this way contri-
bute very greatly to the restoration of our
town. The scarcity Of money, in conse-
quence ofihe general distresses Of the times
is the only serious difficulty against which
we have to contend. We trust our Banks
will take the matter into consideration, and
whenever they can do SO safely and pru-
IDENTITY, will extend helping hand. To
those who are indebted TO our merchants.
we make special appeal, and beg of them
10 remember the necessities Of their friends.
and to aid them to the extent of ther abili-

confess tina, we have been greatly disap-
pointed in our anticipations. This great
state institution which we Aattered our
selves would restore the lost credit Of our
country, regulate exchanges, and stand
pre-eminent amongst the banking institu-
tons Of the south, we are constrained to
acknowledge has Disguised and disappoint-
ed many Of its warmest friends and adyo
Gates. Wehavc forborne 10 say any thing
upon this subject. The high character
and talents Of the distinguished gentleman
who presides over it, and our confidence
in his honesty Of intention, rendered VI
deaf 10 the oft reiterated charges made
against the managers and course Of the in
stitution. As state institution and one
in which the humblest as we'll as the mos
wealthy citizens, are alike interested, the
people should reflect cody and dispassion
ately, aud not precipitately condemn,with.
out the most indisputable evidence. Al
though we make no pretensions to extra
ordinary knowledge upon financial subjects
but the fact that the issues Of this bank,
backed by the credit Of great state, are
now 25 per cent. discount in all the adj
joining states, is enough Of itself to satisfy
any man of the utter incompetency ofits
present managers. The gross favoritsm
and Partially exercised by the board, by
which more than three fourths of the peo-
pie fthis state have been deprived of any
participation in the loans made by 1t, is of
itselfa sufficient reason to enlist the honest
ofall parties against it.
The failure of the bank to locate her
branches, and the tardy action of the
bank in relation to individual stockholders,
has disguised and disheartened hundreds,
who spent much time and money in ar
ranging their title papers, and who have
now withdrawn them. Many, and plau-
sible reasons have been assigned by the
bank managers and their friends, in extern
uation Of their course upon this subject;
but they are not satisfactory, and we are
reluctantly compelled to the opinion, that
it is not Tor the interest Of few, and the
many must succumb.
The wide spread ruin and distress that
threatened our country, induced hundreds,
nay thousands Of democrats, to doubt the
propriety Of GSS M'Nut's course in rela-
ton TO this institution last winter, as pre-
mature, and inPclitic, and calculated to
harrass the bank and people, and prevent
the immediate location Of the branches.
The reckless and ruinous policy she has
since pursued, is opening the eyes Of both
wings and democrats,and without change
Of policy, there will be such storm raised
in the political elements, as will crush the
institution with all the fond hopes of its
advocates, 10 atoms. We shall support
A. G. M'Nutt for the Office Of Governor,
and we have no hesitation in expressing
our belief Of his entire competence and
ability. True, there are many members
Of our party, whnm we prefer, and we
know many men who vote for the man
with great deal ofreluctance, yet as the
representation Of democracy, and the able
and efficient supporter Of principle, we
shall support him.

The Consolidated Banking Company of
Holmes County. We understand that the
members Of this Banking association have
dissolved the Company, and determined on
redeeming their issues forthwith. This is
well. Although we doubt not but that
this institution is entirely able and willing
to redeem promptly yet the multiplication
Of small Banking companies is well calcu-
lated to injure still further the reputation
Of our Bank-ridden state. The Cashier
will redeem the entire circulation as spec.
