We extract the following information fror
he Southern Sun, Of Sept. goth, which settle
I once the question ofJudge Turner's opinio
ia National Bank. We are glad that "all'
ight," for we had determined TO strike Judg
turner from the list of Wing candidates, fifth
barge Of his being opposed TO a National Bank
Which the loco foco democrats have so indus
riously circulated, had not been controverted
We have in addition to the intelligence contain
d in the Sun the Circular Of Judge Turner
vhich We publish today, and request all ouI
eaders to give il an attentive perusal.
Madison Wing ADVOCATE.
JUDGE TURNER-U. 8. BANK.
The LocoFoco MISREPRESENTATION CORRECTED
Airs Right-"Go Aheddr'
We have the pleasure of stating to our wing
riends throughout the State, that Hon. ED
WARD TURNER is NOT opposed to Uni
ed States Bdnk-that he believes such an In
titution CONSTITUTIONAL, and, at the
resent crisis EXPDlENT also We state
Ipon Judge Turner's o1cn authority, contained
n letter addressed 10 the editor Of the Sun,
lotOu %Obh viii SuuSO uTNeT, however,. COu-
elves that it is not the duty Of one, canvassing
or the office Of Governor, TO argue the ques,
ion. He thinks it more proper to leave the
hsputation TO those gentlemen who are canvas
Iing for seatin Congress, and who, when elec
led, may probably have vote in determining
che question.
I The report of Judgs, T-'ner's oppqsjAi~ The
act, that soms w., nS S Of fifteen years ago. he
vas opposeI ID the introduction ola branch of
he Il: 3. Bank in Mississippi. That oppos-
'son, however, did not arise from any hostility
, the Bdnk--but, from the fact that at that ca r.
period, The State needed no additional bank
lg faciities--that we had good banks of our
wn, which furnished sound circulating me-
lnm, and which the Legislature might tax
md that, ifa branch Of the U. S. Bank were
Stroduced, it would not be tarable. These
,'ere the reasons, and the policy which nfluen-
ed Judge Turner, and they were doubtless very
God and wholesome at the time, and under the
circumstances which then surrounded our little
Community.
! In relation to our State Banks, Judge Turner
occupies the right ground. He is in favor of
sorrecting, by all legal means, the corruplons
md abuses practiced under the diffusve bank
sg system, fastened upon the people by the
experiments" Of the loco foco party. He will,
(, elected, endeavor TO reform the whole system
wind up the 'rotten" banks-and compel the
ound ones to perform their duties to the people
q a faithful and efficient manner This is
pght, in our opinion. Although the wing par
~ had no agency in producing the distress
hch pervades the land, and the ruinous null
hplication Of shin-plaster banks which has eve.
nv where occurred-yet it is their duty, as pat
sots, to aid in remedying the difficulties which
around US.
(, We say then, confidently, Indigo Turner
bright on the controlling question Of the cur.
as he is, in favor Of a National
jank--oPposed to the Sub-Treasury, and the
Exclusive metallic currency dreamed of by Ben.
i,n--and. in favor Of REFORMING the State Bank
gstem.
i The Democratic letter-writers and editors
ave misrepresented the wing candidate for
GOVERNOR. This has been arifuliy and indus
-iously done, with the view Of driving from
I'm his whig supporters. The democrats
new that the wing party could not consistently,
I'D therefore scould moi, support any man for
Governor, who arrayed himself against
|ell regulated National Bank; and percei.
ing, from the signs Of the times, that their
,cofoco, subtreasury, hard-money candidate,
as in woful minority, resorted TO this f.
ssse as a last hope Of sustaining their par.
!. They have failed-the plot has explo.
"a. The wings know that "GlPs right" and
ey will "Go AHEAD" with power which the
rces Of Van Buren, and McNut can never
rest.
