trand has been a rich theme for the Dem
ocratic editors of this and other statcs.--
The wings verbally deny the paternity of
this system, but by actions, which speak
louder than words, they acknowledge their
offspring. The care taken by them to
shun the responsibility, is only equalled by
the care they take to defend and protect
it, Where is the whig press that exposes
The vile system? If the Democrats were
the fathers of this odious system, how is
it that they alone tear away the decep-
tive drapery so artfuIly thrown around it
by its advocates! How is it that the
Hhigs, at the time Of its introduction, did
not ~ rose itH Where is the speech on re-
cord, by ;Vhig member of either branch
of the legislature Of this state, in opposi-
ton to it? Where?
Perhaps Davis, their defeated candidate
for Congress, has left on record his oppo-
siton to it. Maybe Chancellor Turner
opposed the system; or Bingaman, (by-
the-bye a polished gentleman,) a leader
of the party in this state, but who was
elected to stay at home, has, in some mas
terly effort in the legislature, ofwhich he
has long been a member, left something
by which the wings can show that all their
members and all their efforts have not
been combined TO effect one great object;
viz. the establishment of the banking
system on tho people of Mississippi, Posr
NoTEs and all.
The post note system (of swindlng)
was first recommended for the RELIEF of
the dear people of the state by a whig
governor, and sanctioned by a whig legis-
lature, in defiance of the expressed oppo-
sItlon OF one OF the most unanching and
consistent opponents of post notes and all
sorts of bank swindlng-the present and
twice chosen Governor of the state.
In conclusion, we will aIlude to another
beautiful feature in this glorious post note
system:
'fiad we ten thousand tongues and PENS

All would be weary ere we told part"
The Union Bank, Ills well known. in A.
