Graf has come OUT very strongly against the
Bank of Illinois, because Of its engaging in
the lead trade. Indeed, it has often occur
red to us, that banks were entirely going be-
yond their province when they were cngag-
ing in all kinds ofspeculation. They were
never intended as trading monapolies, but
merely to assist the public in their works of
enterprise, &c. Such course must arouse
the preiudices of the people against them,
and result in exploding half the banks Of the
country,
Merchants are unable to compete with a
great moneyed institution; and when our
banks become mere things of speculation,
the merchants and other business men Of the
country mn suffer from the unequal com

system, that so justly deserves the censure
OF all parties, when they arc he very party
that have inflicted this evil upon the cornnlu-
nisy, IN spite of all the efforts and exertions
OF The Wing party to prevent them This
fact we presume no administration paper
will deny, and # they do we are ready to
