Consistency Of Shin-plaster Ways
with that honesty and fairness peculiar
to them, the very men who entailed on
the people of this state, the deprecated
paper now in circulation, are trying to
skulk from the responsibility, and palm
their conduct on others. The Wings JUS
tify themselves when accused-when
charged home with the fact, by saying,
"we are not the authors Of the evil" for,
'.Gen. A. G. Brown voted for the Post
Note bill to authorize the Union Bank to
issue $lO,OOO,0O0, payable in one and
too years, bearing 5 per cent interest"
Who introduced the bill? A Wing. Who
where its supportersa Wings. Suppos-
ing Gen. Brown did vote for it; has De-
mocrat not as good right to do SO as the
Whigs2 Do they in this as in other mat
tiers, claim exclusive privileges? Does
that make them the less bIameable2 We
would like to see their charter. But what
are the facts in the case? Why, they are
these, that Gen. B. made an able speech
in opposition to post notes, which was ia
ken down at the time by the faithful re-
porter for the Free Trader, and published
in that paper at the time, or soon after it
was delivered; in which he denounced the
post note system, and loretold its ruinous
tendency. Gen. b. roted against the post
note bill on its passage, in the house. Why
then do the Wings say he is shin-pas-
ter candidates Do they expect to succeed
by such fabrications? The cause must be
l. desperate one that needs such support, N
