SAGE me from my Friends.--The follow
ing is taken from the Vicksburg Wing. a
violent federal paper.
The Unioa Bank.-We hear it said in
the streets, that the Union Bank will pay
her April post notes IN specie when dem
anded. Now be it known to all men, that
this is cheer humbug. The bank cannot
even the would, pay her April issue in
specie, and il is all folly to talk abot it.
This is but trick to induce the people &c
take the new three million issue that is tc
be made, and no man in his senses who
knows any thing about the bank will pre-
tend to believe that she Goa pay her Apri
issue. We hope that this new emission
will be frowned down at the start, anc
that no one in this community mill receive
il for any thing.

therwise, set mp banks, and give cash or

Perhaps, to encourage them larger lnte-
rest than is legal in the othercases might
be allowed them, on the condition oftheir
lending for short periods only. 1t is from
i Great Britain we copy the idea cf giving
paper in exchange for discounted bills:
and while we have derived from that

ment und legislation, we unfortunately
run into the most servile imitation OF all

and with the gulph yawning before us IN
to which those very practices arc preclpl-
tating her. The unlimited emission of
banking-paper has banished all her specie,
and is now, by n depreciation acknow-

her rapidly to bankruptcy as il did France
as it did us, and will do us again, and eve

HARRISBURG CoNvENTIoN.-This august body
have doomed poor Harrison to another defeat!
We are we'll pleased with the nomination. The
following correspondence of the New Orleans
Bulletin, details the result, &C..
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9Th.
The Baltimore cars which came to the city at
II o'clock to-day, brought the important news
from Harrisburg Of the nomination of General
William Henry Harrison, as the Wing candidate
for President of the United States. The nomi-
nation has elected no little sensation in the ci-
ty, for the reason that it was unexpected by the
maj jority of the persons here interested in the
nomination. The vote stood, upon the fifthand
last ballot:--Harrison, l48; Clay 80; Scott 16.
The nomination was made on Friday,
at ten o'clock A. nj No vote had then
been taken for Vice President, and il
was presumed none would be taken.
Mr.. Tyler, of Virginia, was the promi-
nent candidate, although Whites claims
would be pressed. Mr.. Clays Friends
here. as you may suppose, are disappoin-
ted, as are really the Kentucky delega-
ton who were jealous in his behalf.
General Scott's friends are also disap-
pointed-but General Scots is the her
aid Of bis own defeat, having come into
the city this morning from Baltimore.
The day has been consumed, or good
part Of it, in discussing the expediency,
DC. Of the nomination The letters l
have seen from Harrisburg, all express
the opinion Of the Convention Had
the Delegates Of the Convention num-
bering as they do 254 Delegates press
ed their personal preferences, M. Clay
would have received more than 200
votes. But this nomination was consid-
cred inexpedient for various reasons,
which it is now hardly worth the while
to mention. The Convention were efopi-
MON that Gen. Harrison would get more
votes than either Mr.. Clay or General
Scott, and hence the result of their DELHI.
erations. The discussions were warm
and animated, but conducted in perfect
good temper. OF course, however, there
was some disappointment, and there is
much here.

Short Sentences on Democracy
Democracy aims to substitute freedom
for privilege.
Democracy believes in the only
true credit system--that which attaches
to property, integrety, industry, skill
and real merit, and which is as much
earned as ones daily bread. The
whig credit system is an artificial de-
vice to withdraw true credit from
property and industry, and make a mo-
nopoly Of it for spectators, adventuI-
ers, over-traders and schemers, who.
having no substantial property or pro
ductiye industry, seek to make merch.
andisc of other mems property, and
draw to themselves the fruits of other
mems labor.
The co-partnership of Labor u Cap
ital is an excellent firm, and indispen
sable to prosperity. But the capital
without labor, is utterly unproductive
The labor gives all the increase to the
capital, and yet The capital draws nine
tenths Of the profits. This is the inc
quality democracy aims to correct. i
does not object to the firm of Labor &
Capital, but encourages it. All it dc.
mands is this: That there shall be q
failcr and more cqnal division of profit
to the outdoor partner.
