I'll any director, or directors of any bank in this
state, or any officer, or person having charge or
control OF said bank, or interested in the same
shal emit or cause to be emitted, put circula-
ton any amount OF bills of said bank beyond the A.
mount limited, and prescribed by the charter
such person or persons, offending shall on con-
viction thereof be confined to hard labor in the
States prison, for term not exceeding ten years
in the discretion OF the court"
We also refer you to the 4, B. G, and sections of
the act 10 further guards against frauds of
bank corporations. If this act be not sufficient we
know not what can be done. Perhaps the Tories
would choose 10 have the offenders against the 3D.
section hung instead oibeing confined to hard labor
in the States Prison.
II is difficult 10 please every body, and we should
not be surprised il the Tories should deny there be-
ing any such act, the have reflered to al
though II is 10 be seen the 10 and 18th pages of
the printed laws Of the last session of the General
Assembly. Such denial would not be more strange
than their denial of the truth Of Mr. Shades address
lately published III the Wig papers. A tory holds
10 pqssirc obedience and resytaRce therefore if
the evidence lie ever clear, and full to prove
most shameful usurpation of power, and total dis
regard OF the constitution OF the United States by
the President, tory win close his eyes against such
evidence and be ready TO swear, that the conclusions
OF the Speaker are all false. We have proof of
this IN the remarks upon Mr. SHADES Address pub
shed in a late North Star These remarks show
such TeCklcssness, and disregard of the truth that
tic publisher needs the prayers of all good people
At this day, the tory motto is "Smiie and Bank Re-
iomn.' Did Mr. Smile vote for the act to which we
have referred The Journal of the Senate shows
no such thing.
But know, that our worthy Governor. Slas H.
Je8isoh approved tho act, which shows that he was
for protesting tie rights of the people The APPROX
al Of this act, in conncXion with his high qualfca
lions lor Office, should induce every honest freeman
to give his vote for SILAs IL. JESIsoS to be Cover
nor tie ensuing year
We have lately read what is called the Biography
Of Nathan Smile, the Tory candidate for Governor
1t was first Published in the "Reformer and Demo-
GRAFT" "a small sheet issued during the eectioneer-
inc campaign Al the Patriot office, Montpelier. y
This small sheet has no known editor, who is re-
sponsble for what is published. 1t is depository
OF Ingenious ialsehoods 10 be extracted and re.
published IN ether Tory papers, when their editors
are Ike 10 fell for want OF stock. Among the false.
hoods we find Sm(c's Biography, which is extract
ed. aud repu5ishcd by the editor of the North Star
Some editors thilk il less criminal to extract, and
reputiish alsehood than il is to fabricaie and pub
iish At m tie FIRST instance; but this is doubtful mo-
raliiy Freemen' BE on your guard against Puff
ies and Biographers, who write 10 deceive YOU and
publish their writings 40 that "small sheet" When
YOU see extracts from that polluted source turn from
them with disgust
