THE DEMOCRATIC WAR CRY.

We are glad to find that the cry Of do,on trih the
banks disclsimed by the Evening Post the mouth

we do not remember the occasion when the respectable
portion Of the supporters Of Mr. Van Buren, dared to
advance absurd proposition. The editors oil the

banking as necessary for the operations Of commerce,
as the steam engine is for the production Of cotton
fabrics The steam engine is only the concentration OF
physical power banking is the concentration oil capt

suppose him capable of forwarding project for return

and to destroy the banking system would be equally IN
dicative of ignorance Of the wants and necessities OF
the community The true state Of the party question
is, who shall control the banking system y We say
the people out Of whose wants II has arisen The Post
saws fic government because the influence it exerts
ought to be guided hy the Executive Such Is the plain
ISSUE and which involves many interests The de-
cision rests with the people, and all ask from our
opponents u.s. that the principles shall always be KEEP, in

If we are to be debared from concentrating capital
at such points as may appear dcsrabe then the tide OF
civilization would be rolled back by destroying CONNER
