MORE FRAUDS Some sprgs of loco To-
coism. gave signs of growing holiness,
upon learning few days since, that Par
mentors vote, (of Middlesex, Mass. had
somewhat increased from the second trial.
We confess, we could hardly understand
the matter, at the time. The Atlas how
ever, of Feb. 9Th, sets all right, by an inn
portant disclosure. 1t appears that the loco
focos were provided with two kinds or sizes
Of votes; one large square vote, and the
other on a small narrow strip, convenient to
throw in under the larger one. So that these
honest democrats[ could avail themselves
of the pleasure ofthrowing in two votes in
this case Of necessity. The Atlas still
further states, that in the early part of the
day one James Horse, loco foco of the
first water, was detected in putting into the
ballot box, one of tn csc fraudulent double
votes; and an examination being immedi-
ately had, no less than si1 similar double
ballots were found in the box! There can
be no question, but that Parmenter's gain
of some $50 votes, was accomplished by
this means. This is Loco Focoism, car
ried out in one of its most important bear
ngs. We suppose the locos, wisely con.
cuded this would be the easiest, and per-
haps the most democratic. way Of healing
divisions!

ed the aged and unfortunate captain
mounted on the bulwarks of his shat

Traversed as his ship had been in every

a lot more hopeless than that of the IN

Suddenly with a sound like the rush

unhappy wretches who were still cling

dy, have the intelligence requisite to
establish government Of good laws,
laws necessary "for the protection,
safety, prosperity, and happiness ofthe
people" They look rather to a"class
of men, as alone possessing these quail
tiles. beftting lawgivers and admins
traitors Of laws. Wrapped up in self
ishness, they labor increasingly to for
tify their position, by cnactments ofex
elusive and partial laws. Claiming to
be christians, they falsify their profess
sions, by distrust Of mankind gener-
ally; and.in their short-sighted wisdom,
would form strong government TO EN-
FORCE, no. encourage, the observance OF
religion, the practice of temperance, and
the the exercise Of those moral and re-
ligious virtues, which exist in the heart,
and which no laws can create.
1t is little surprising that the advo-
Gates Of principles SO derogatory to
mankind, should be compelled to resort
to means the most desperate, in order
to attain the contamination of their
wishes; and that they should be ready,
at all times, to coalesce with this or
that faction, as their narrow policy may
dictate. But it is a matter of great
surprise, that there can be found those,
who arc so far wanting in intelligence,
and a Just sense of their true interests,
as to be willing to unite with party
whose principles, if adopted by the
community, would lead to the over.
throw of the sacred temple of political
and religious lier'y.

Of policy, and the adoption Of different
measures to secure the promotion Of
the National prosperity and the hap
piness of the people. If these have
not been the grounds Of complaint, and
their denunciations against and abuse
Of the Administration we really do not
understand mo one else can possibly
understand them, aud we should really
like 10 be informed. II is, most assu-
redly the height offolly, to complain,
unless the grounds of complaint are
made known; and equally silly to de-
nounce one course Of policy, and de-
sire the removal of men from office
who pursue it. unless some other and
better course Of policy can be propo-
sed in lieu of it, and men presented for
election who are known TO be fayora-
bic to what may .be supposed to be that
better cause Of policy. These are Ger
tainly self evident truths.
But Notwithstanding the complaints
of the Wings and the denunciations
against the Administration; and not
withstanding their desperate efforts to
prejudice the public mind against our
present rulers, and to induce them to
select other men in their room, on the
alleged ground of disapproyal Of the
present course of policy, and on these
grounds are urging and contending for
change ofIelers; and so DESTROYS are
they to effect this object that they are
wiling to take any man who, in their
Judgment, may be most lik<Jy TO be
"availablc,' by which is meant, the
most likely, without merit, TO obtain a
majority Of votes and for this purpose
union OF men of every hue and com
plexion, who are hostile TO our present
rulers is desired; or as Mr.. Wise ex
presses ii, "a union Of the wings for the
sake of the union." This VIC suppose
to mean aunion ofmcn of the most des
cordant feelings and sentiments for the
sake ola consolidation of power in
their hands-a union of Abolitionist;
and Agitators. of Antimasons and Ar

THE POST NOTE SYSTEM
WHICH PARTY IT'S FATHER.

We copy below some extracts from
Governor Lynch's message to the lie
gislature at the called session Of April,
1887. 1t will be recollected that this
was call made by wing Governor
for relief; l. was termed the ''relit ses-
si0n," during which session there were
more banks chartered than at any 9th
err sitting of the Legislature of this
Statc-thc wings uniformly voting for
every bank, as will be shown in another
article. BY the following extracts
we fix the paternity of the post note
system upon the wing party in a way
that cannot be lodged. The vote in
the Legislature shows how well the
great mass of wings followed their lead
er. In the House Of Representatives
tuenty-three members voted against the
bill, twenty of whom were democrats
there being bit three ;rhigs in the whole
house who opposed the shinplaster
bill. In the Senate not single wing
oppo;ed it.
The following are the extracts:
81 have thought OF some arrange
meat with the banks as presenting the
best, if not the only practicable mode
of relief Under this impression | adj
dressed Circular to the Presidents OF
the several Banks Of this State, earn
cstly inviting them to attend at the
seat ofgovernment for the purpose OF
accelerating any arrangement that may
be agreed upon.
"The issue Of post notes payable at
thirteen months or at shorter period
has been suggested.
And in orderto give greater credit and
yasinity to such notes, | suggest the
propriety of their being made receiveo-
Bile IN payment of all demands due The
State"
Here we disdover that not only was
the wing Governor the first to recon-
mend the post note system, but he even
convened the Bank Presidents at
Jackson, and asked the banks them
selves to legislatc for the country.
What other than bank measures for
the benefit of the banks and injury to
the people could be expected to ema-
nate from such a bodyg
Gov. Lynch further said in the same
message that, sin iegislating under our
complex system ofgovernment, we are
often constrained to torego the pursuit
efa principle, to obtain practical ben
efit.n
The people are now feeling the ei-
fects Of this abominable doctrine which
teaches us to abandon principle for the
''practicle benefp o bankers, who assume
not only the sovereign power of supply
ing curr ,ncy but the high attributes
oflegislation; who make laws authors
zing an issue Of irredeemablc paper,
fill the Treasury Of the State and the
pockets Of the people with miserable
shinplasters, and then demand, through
the Sheriff and Marshal, specie from

"DOWN WITH THE ADMINS
TRATION.n

This is the rallying cry of ali the
factions in the country that are arrayed
in opposition to the Government with
'''no cummon bond of union," no fixed
and eternal principles of action or Of
government-nothing to- create, no
thing to build up-nothing to sustain.
Like the insurrcctionists who followed
old Shay in Massachusetts, they are
for nothing and against every thing.
They are destructives III the fullest
sense Of the term. They are for no
thing that is, and for every thing that
is not. They cry "down with the ad-
ministration," but assign no reasonable
why or wherefore. lfthey attempt to
give reason-it is one without force
or cogency. They have said there
have been dcfaulters under this admin
istration. so there have been under ev-
cry administration since the govern
ment was formed. They have said
Mr.. Van Buren, was opposed to the
wal, while his history and the proceed
ings ofthe New York Legislature show
that he was one Of its strongest advo-
Gates. They have said he was oppo-
sed to Free Suffrage, while the same
authorities fatty deny the allegation.
They have said he was in person an
advocate and supporter of high tariff,
while conclusive proofto the contrary
stands out boldly upon the authorities
already quoted. There are a host Of
such charges, equally false, which the
fcderal-whig leaders Of Tennessee have
preferred against the President, and
which we have clearly exposed.
But the leaders have gone too far to
turn back; and while they join in the
cry OF ''down with the Administration,
they say to their whippers-in and stri-
kcrs "Remember Lots wife," The
mass OF the people will not follow them.
1t is leaving them by hundreds every
day. 1t will be true to itself, and turn
a deaf ear to this foolish cry ofthc dis
appointed and the desperate.

BANKs.-It has been often asserted
by the Courier that all the shinplaster
banks in this State since the regular
death of the United States Bank, were
made by the democratic party. There
is nothing SO important in political his
tory as the truth. Now, to prove
whether the assertion of the Courier be
correct or incorrect, land we have no
doubt the editor bclieves he speaks the
truth we shall tomorrow morning
quote from the Journals of the Legis-
lature the facts as they are of record
a rec ord undying and unimpeachable.
We shall do this as matter of public
interest. and whether more democrats
opposed, or whether the most wings
opposed the creation of our shinplaster
banks can then be known both to the
bank and the anti-bank parties. The
Free Trader is classed as an anti-bank
paper. Whether the present banking
system be beneficial or injurious to the
mechanical, agricultural and CONNER
cial interests Of this city and country,
is a question, the discussion OF which
belongs properly to the Daily Free
Trader; and every point of argument
that has bearing upon this important
question comes properly within the
purview OF our declarations relative tC
the course of our daily paper. Altel
showing clearly by the most authentic
records upon whose shoulders the sill
rests, we shall proceed to show the ne
cessity Of there being an anti-bahk par
~ rallied in every town and country il
the Stale, so as TO secure in the lcgis
laturc a majority in favor OF bank re
form.
1t is folly to rely any longer upon Tho
sense ofjustice which the banks may
happen to entertain. Experience has
demonstrated that bank morality ha;
no communion with that honesty and
sense ofjustice which regulate inter
course between man and man, and
which teaches us to edo unto others as
we would have others do unto u.s.
That the banks themselves have pro
duced the evils under which we suffer
is admitted by the bank party, is 'ap
parent from the fact that they want tc
shift the responsibility of maktnk III,
banks upon others; while at the same
time the bank party come boldly for
ward in public meetings and declare
through their orator, Thomas McDan
mold, that they are ready to shoulder
tie banks" with all their sins! with all
their hypocrisy! with all their false
promises! with all their frauds and
downright brokerage. ID.
