WOODEN TYPE.

"ooDLIN L Il II.
DRICE REDUCED.-D Wells s. Co.
H. 2SAnn st. New York, inform the Pin
ters of the United States, that by the aid Of
their Machine Type Cutter, they are enabled
to produce wood type of a superior quality
to any other manufactured and to sell them
from twenty five to fifty per cent less than
former prices. Their specimen book exhi-
bits greater variety of plain and ornamen-
tai JOB TYPE, than any other heretofore
published in this or any other country, and
will be furnished to customers on appllca-
ton. They first introduced WOOD TYPE
into this country in 1927, and now have the
qualification ofseeing them used throughout
the union--giving universal satisfaction
They being cut upon the end of the wood,
are more durable than metal type, much
more convenient in using, less liable to in
Jury, and cost much less.
d. WELLS g. co. particularly invite a
comparison of their type with those recent
ly introduced into this city by Mr.. Nesbitt,
the agent of the Manufacturer who modest
ly assumes that his are the only type man
ufactured by machinery, and are thereby SUI
perior to any other. 1t is necessary for us
TO say that their machine was invented
by us, and made by the same person we enl-
ployed upon ours four years since; and any
Printer will preceive that the Specimen book
published by him is an attempted imitation
of ours from beginning to end.

OHIO STATE JOURNAL FOR THE
SESSION.,


In consonance with previous usage, the
proprietor of the ONO STATE JOURNAL
submits the following Prospectus to the
consideration of the citizens of Ohio. The
political character of the Journal Is so well
known, that no new comments are necessa-
ry to explain it. 1t is unequivocally oppo-
sed to the administration of Martin Van
Buren, and to all the mad schemes of him
sefand his advisers. The Journal will con-
tinue, steadily, in the path of its long avow-
ed and long cherished principles. Success
cannot corrupt it, nor defeat intimidate it..
AS faithful sentinel on the watch-tower of
American liberty, it will always be found
awake'on Its post.
During the winter, abundance of interest
ing matter may be expected from the halls
of our State Legislature. The work of
BANK Reform is to be finished, by the ma
jority who now rule triumphant, and we, in
common with the whole State, feel anxious
to investigate its operation and its progress.
Our attention will be given to the subject
most amply and unreservedly.
In every other respect, the Ohio State
Journal will adhere to its original plan and
character. twill be, emphatically, NEWS
PAPER, in whose columns may be found all
the interesting events of the day. Con-
gressonal reports, foreign and domestic
intelligence, together with the opinions of
our contemporaries of the Press, and occa-
sional draughts from the pens of our literatl,
will form an agreeaby variety. A generous

Some of the newspapers, at the relation
of the Perrysburg Wing, have undertaken
to censure Judge Potter of this circuit, for
the part he acted in the Imprisonment of
the Jurors for contempt Mt the session Of
the Common Pleas in Perrysburg. How
ever absurd the law for the starvation flu.
rors may be--and it is senscless enough, in
all conscience--we are satisfied that the
Judge acted perfectly right on the occasion.
The jury had escaped from the court room,
by device but little better than tie telling
Of a falsehcod, and had dispersed; the inte-
rests of the parties were sacrificed and the
dignity oftho court violated. Under such
circumstances, something was called for,
nnd, TOR our part, we were pleased to see
the remedy applied SO promptly.

Bank Notes.
New England

Yes indeed, the people of the South and West
pay a tax for the support of this experiment, far
greater than the whole taxes of the whole nation.
TO assist demagogue politicians to support their
opinions, we pay a tax for the real benefit of no
body, to an amount ten times greater than all our
state and country taxes. And are we to be told
that it is ''the rascaly Banks" that is doing all
this? Are the banks benefited by the destruc-
ton of exchanges and the Illustration of credit
So far from it that they suffer as much as any
other interest.
~Untii sound specie paying banking institutions
are permitted to pursue their business unembar-
yassed, either by professional slanderers OF any
arbitrary government injunctions upon commerce,
the country will be flooded with worthless depre-
clated bank paper, and the whole will be discre-
dtsa. And what signifies it for some of the
banks to pay specie, aonsinaly, when the want Of
exchange facilities renders it WIDELY impossible
for them to keep out specie paying circulation?
1t does but little good. A circulating medium
for the transactions Of business can benefit the
people but little until all banks of doubtful Gre
dit are annihiated. Some of our banks are now
paying specie. But what does that amount to?
Does it enable them to furnish the community
with specie paying circulation? Certainly not.
They cannot pay out dollar Of such paper. They
might as well just pay out the specie at once
Immense ebulitions ofignorance is put forth a.
eainst the banks issuing notes not due. Some
ofthese men are ignoramuses and others are willy
politicians deceiving the people. For every man
must see that il is that or nothing. Is there at
this time in circulation, OF ALL the notes of our
specie paying banks, more paper than the wants
Of the business of the state requires? Every man
knows that there is not enough BY large amount.
Well, suppose the paper was all demandabie in
specie? A most inevitable consequence wCEid
be, that every bank would have to suspend before
the sun would set tomorrow.
The banks-we do not mean these shinplaster
concerns which the 'sOar upon ne 5anks'' has en-
abied to come into existeiice-but THE BANKS,
We say. are doing she best hey can for our eurren-
cy. But what can any local banks do in any part
Of the U. States which Is III debt to other por-
lions. They cannot furnish currency to any
considerable amount beyond their actual specie
capital. No, they cannot do this much. They
cannot furnish medium that will remain in cir
culation 70 ne amount Of their specie on hand.
Because, 70 pay ontspecie paying notes, il Sec
ton of country where exchange i in demand,

AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT.

The most important subject which newspaper
can lay before the public in these times of gene
raj distress, is to unfold the REASONS why such
immense and universal embarrassment has thus
suddenly overtaken, and thus continues to grind
down the people, the honest people off large por-
ton of the Union and the rightful remedy.
All that portion of the United States which is in
debt to portions Is NOW suffering from the effects
of that reckless ignorant and wicked "ExPERl-
mENT'' to an extent never known before. Why
is it so, and Otere is the remedy? Are we people
with rights? Have we Inc privilege to think and
act for our interests are we the dupes of des-
perate band of self aggrandizing politicians?
Must the interests-the living, of our yeomanry
be sacrificed, their hopes blasted and their pros
poets ruined to build up the political aud ecunia-
ry fortunes of few demagogues? Are we to be
anaikarised with embarrassment, and let our diff
culties be made the subject of jest by political
vultures, until it shall become Questionable for
the people to speak of their wrongs and boldly
seek to redress them? To tell the people that
wrongs are to be redressed by the pursuit of the
same course which produced them, is political
foolery. To tellthem that they can prosper with
out currency, is to insult their reason, and to
tell them that sound and uniform currency can
be, or will be, produced by Executive influence,
through,. or by means Of the personal use of the
public money, government officers, is to bable abb
surdities and fight common sense. We sOdnt a
eaareact- asound currency. One that is uniform,
so that the general circulation of any section OF
community will be equivolent to the general cir
culation of any other section or community, in the
whole Union. Such acuuency must be always
convertible, and when it exists no other Of less
value can survive day. And as well might e
expect to bask in sunshine in the darkness Of
dreary midnights as to expect to have a currency
convertible into specie, IN any section of the
country which owes debt any other portion
without a system Of Domestic Exchange. Thi.
| is land of commerce established by the nature
of things; and no blasting speech makers, no hire
/ ling qnack politicians, no professional bank re-
vilers, OF ignorant or wicked finance ttachers
can make it otherwise. Every portion Of the south
and west must pay up, in specie or actual produc.
ton, the cash dollar which they owe abroad, be.
fore they can possibly have currency, unless !
power 70 regulate exchanges come to the relief o
trade. And il the slow pace Of the former has Il
bring it about, commerce win then need precious
little aid, for it will Be well nigh extinct.

The Yazoo City Whig and political register. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 183?-1840, 1839-07-26
WING MEETING.

A meeting of the Wings Of this county
was held in Benton on Saturday last, for the
purpose of nominating a candidate for Uni
ted States Senator, to be elected at the
next session Of our Legislature, in order 10
allow the Hon. r. J. Walker an opportunity
ofrecruiting his physical and political health
the latterof which, we opine, is in most
alarming degree impaired. Taxing into
consideration the season Of the year, (wben
the agricultural portion Of our citizens are
too busy to leave their homes for any other
than very important purposes) the meeting
was unusually, nay. astonishingIy numerous
and Il is sufficient evidence of its iatelli.
gence and patriotism TO simply mention that
it unanimously concurred in the recommen.
daticn Of S. S. PRENTIss, the mental gi
ant Of Mississippi, as the wing candidate
for seat in the most august Legislative DO
dy in christandom. The same gentleman
has been nominated by public meetings il
various parts Of The state, and the nomina
ton appears TO meet the undivided approYa
