hunlbug, -repudated and disbelieved BY thl
writer as is palpabIy proved upon the fac
OF the document itself.
The whole tenor of this letter is a boIc
attack upon the knowledge and experience
Of men. lie sels up vague, uncertain, un.
tried, and deIusiVe theory, and contends fol
its adoption in preference TO tried, expe.
rienced system OF business and operation,
which the people know, have seen and per-
formed; and which IN all the country's pros
Peray rendered UNIVERSAL SUBTRACTION
And TO make his plan PaIatabIe, or rather to
serve the party with it, he endeGvOurs 10
gull and deceive The people.
Mr.. Walkers opposition TO a National
Bank is deep and wide. The same fraud,
dishonesty, immortality and universal injury
marks the footsteps of National Bank, as
attaches TO the banking system generally.
But hoiO long has the honorable gentleman
entertained those sentiments! II it is not
universally known it ough: to be, that Mr..
Walker has been exceedingly unsettled in
his notions Of banking, ever since the SUBJ
JET was made one Of deep political interest
in 1899. Since that time Mr.. Walker has
advocated every side OF every question in
relation to National or State anks. In 1891
when Gen, Jackson vetoed the United States
rank ELL, Mr.. Walker denounced the inca.
sure and the man, in most unmeasured and
unqualified bitterness, only equaled by his
visG Versd sentiments now. In the city of
Natchez particularly, he took great pains to
explain that the veto of the bill and the re-
movai Of the deposites, was unlawful, arbi-
trary, .yrannical and igroranr, quite beyond
public sufferance. He sustained the bank
of the United States with every argument
that was ever used in its favor. Agriculture,
commerce and labor could not possibly sur
vive the destruction OF the Lank. And he
promised most faithfully, publicly, before
crowds in the streets Of Natchez, (hoping
that the people would forgive him for what
he had done) that from that day forward he
would exert every ounce of political infu-
ence he could command to pu: down Gen.
Jackson and his party, for he had wilfully
usurped the most dangerous authority; and
with ignorance only equaled by his wicked
ness, he was menacing the ruin Of the coun-
try.
In 1888 the party bought him back again
by offering to run him for the United States
Senate. he then withdrew all his love from
the United States ank and placed it upon
State hanks, to which he had never dream.
ed the least opposition. State Banks were
then the right arm and the left arm IF the
country's improvement and prosperity. -
Enough could not be said in their favor and
sufficient abuse could not be heaped upon
the wings for their opposition to the mode
OF conducting State anks. Then Mr.. Walker
became opposed to all the State Tanks ex-
cept those entrusted with the public depos-
ties. They were the real simon pure, TIE
honest and faithful, deserving of all conf
dence and praises and he others were the
worthless rabb'e opposing them. Then the
consistant gentleman turned against all bai ks
and prided himself in an indiscriminate abuse
of all. ut, until lately. not a whisper ever
escaped the gentleman against The system of
banking; it was only against the mode of
their doing business; or in other words the
abuse Of sound excellent and valuable
system.
This much for Mr.. Walkers consistency.
We should not take even this much trouble
to expose him, from any opposition we en-
terrain to him. We care nothing for him.
But as the party have put him up as can
didate for high and responsible office. we
think proper to shew that he, himself, nor
any intelligent man of the party, has the
least confidence in his statement and argu-
ments. He blows hot or blows cold-advo-
Gates these, those or the other sentiments
praises. condemns, supports and denounces
any thing or all thinge, according as this,
that or the other course, for ths time being,
bids fairest for the party or promises it the
most immediate benefit.
We leave this subject for the present, VII
a promis hereafter 10 expose and point out,
in this came letter, other glaring and palpa-
bic absurdities. And we will prove TO de-
monstration, that the author did certainly
know, when he penned the article, that his
statements and differences were absurdly
false and ridiculous. and that his ain and
intention wss 10 deceire the peonle.
