| SPECIALIZING BANKs.--Ihe following
statement from the Ohio Statesman, is
well calculated to awaken the refiec-
ton Of every man who reads it. Can
it be possible that institutions created
expressly to advance the interests OF
the merchants, would have the bold
ness and the folly to enter the arena OF
mercantile transactions in competition
with, and in opposition to the merch
ants? The charge that bank would :
withhold accommodation from the
merchants in order 10 accumulate
and concentrate means wherewith TO
monopolize the market, is so monstrous
that one can scarcely conceive it to be
possible. The Ohio pager, however,
has designated the institutions, and
makes the charge openly and boldly.
Read the following:
''SPEcULATING BANKs.-Great COM
plants are made in several parts of the
county, that certain banks have aban-
doned their legitimate business, and
entered the field Of speculation in com
potion with the merchants. The Chi
cage Branch of the Illinois Bank, has
entered extensively iuto the pork sps-
culations. By Withholding all accom-
modations from the merchants, it has
vast amount of money at its control.
and is enabled completely to monopo-
lie the market. No one else having
money, the farmers are compelled to
dispose Of their pork to the bank or
keep it, and the bank can set its own
{ price. After it gets the property In
its possession, it can hold it until pur-
chasers are obliged to pay its exorbl-
tant demands.
The Wisconsin Bank has become
: the monopolizer of lead. The people
of that territory assert that it is thu
greatest curse that was ever intiictc'
upon any people.
: Several of the Southwestern bank!
have also converted themselves into
spectators, the enrichment Of thcms
selves, and the destruction Of all around
them"
/ If these charges are true, these M
stitutiOns should be Immediately frown-
ed out ofexistcnce, and the individuals
under whose direction SO gross a pro-
version has been tolerated, held up to
the scorn and detestation of every hon
est man in the Union. Conduct Of
this kind on the part of even few
banks, would cast an imputatIon on
banks generally, Of so black a charac-
ter, as to make the whole system hate
full and obnoxious. 1t would therefore
be to the interest, as it would be the
duty, of the properly conducted banks
to completely set their face against the
specializing banks, and for so doing we
are satisfied they would receive, as
they certainly would merit, the nppro-
baton and countenance of all iDtelli
gent and honest men.--BaH. San.

OPERATIONS OF OUR BLUE LAWS
During the present term of the Grim
inal Court for Claiborne county, sitting
at Port Gibson, several indictments
have been found for breaches of the
Gallon Law, but up to Saturday last,
as we are informed by the Grand Gulf
Advertiser, no conviction had taken
place, although four cases had been
disposed Of. Several cases have also
been tried under the law regulating
tavern rates, and in some instances 4
verdict of guilty has been brought in
by the petit jury. Appeals have been
made, in the latter cases, to the Su-
preme Court of the State. Free Ira

HOME


So beautiful on earth, and Oh! so rare,
Az kindred love and family reposc.
The busy world,
With all the tumult and the stir of life,
Pursues its wonted course; on pleasures some,
And some on commerce or ambition bent,
And all on happiness; while each one loves
One little spot, in which his heart unfolds
With natures hottest feelings; one sweet spot
And calls it HOME: if sorrow is felt there,
1t runs through many bosoms, and smile
Lights up, in eyes around kindred smile;
And if disease intrude, the sufferer finds
Rest on the breast beloved.

UNION BANK.

Weeopy an article from the Missis-
sippiaIof the Bird inst, exposing some
of the !nal.conduct of the Directors Of
this Institution, in the distribution of
their accommodations. We have no
doubt thatyit presents faithful picture
of transactions that are enough to
cause every lover of the State in which
he lives, to blush with shame. We
have heard but one opinion expressed
upon the subject, and that has been
one of deep disapprobation. IL the
half of what is alleged against the man
ner in which the affairs of the Bank
have been managed, is true, it is enough
to sicken its best friend with disgust,
and crafty the utmost malice of its
worst enemy. We know not what the
Director'have done with the money, but
we do know what they hove not done.
They haze not given it to tie citizens of
Claiborne. On the contrary, our coun-
ty has been most shamefully treated.
Whetherit was that the bank went
upon the principle, of giving the most
to those that were the worst broke, or
whether,it was that our citizens were
too manly and independent to bow
and truekle before the monied auto
Gratis of the day, we know not. But
certain it is, that we did not get the
money, nor have we heard OF much Of
it going into any county, where tn re
is any great chance of its ever being
repaid.
There is, however, one charge daily
made against the Directory, which, if
untrue, ought to be promptly put down.
and, if true, ought to stamp with eter-
nal disgrace the individuals upon whom
it bears. It's this:-That the Presiden
and one or two other Directors are
partners ofthe house of Kicker, Hadly
Davis d Co. at New Orleans, and thai
after the Bank ceased discounting, and
its Golfers were locked up--when all
were told that no more money could
be obtained-a number of bills drawn
on the house of Kicker, Hadley, Davis
d Co. were privately discounted thro'
the influence Of these Directors. The
object is, of course, to compel the large
planters, who are thus accommodated,
to consign their crops to that firm
and thus we have the faith of the State
pledged for fifteen millions of dollars
a mammoth institution incorporated
possessing the power at any moment to
ruin and bankrupt the State-and all
the mighty energies of this monster of
finance, might be devoted to the single
object of creating and sustaining Com
mission House IN New Orleans. for the
private emolument of few ofits Direc-
tors! lit be true, that this Bank,
which short time ago. in kindly offer
ing to undertake the sale of our Gotten,
proposed to relieve our planters from
the thraldom of commission merchants,
is now erecting an Idol Of its own, and
cndeayoring to lash the whole State of
Mississippi to its care, the object should
be understood, that it may meet the re-
probation it deserves. But if it be I'M
true, it is due the character of the Di-
rectory that it should be promptly cor
rected. Port Gibson Correspondent.

DO KINGS OR MOBILES CARE FOR US
When you behold king enthroned
Or toiling to foolish feast
Or queens in luxury enzoned,
And treated like some heavenly guest
Restrain yourself, keep on your hat,
Make not the least degrading fuss,
For when the truth is spoken, what
Do kings or mobiles care for us7
When you behold, with rakish lords
A pompous bishop take his place,
And make his empty, measured words,
And simpering nothingness of face.
Restrain yourself, keep on your hat
Make not the least degrading fuss,
For when the truth is spoken, what
Do lords Of bishops care for u.s.
Whom you behold reckless lord,
Great by his fathers deserts,
Walk boldly to the council board,
And frown as if man Of parts
Restrain yourself, keep on your hat,
Make not the least degrading fuss
Fer if the truth was spoken, what
Does any lording care for us3
When at the hastings called to vote,
And having passed the tax-mans shriit,
You stand unshaved in thread-bare coat,
70 send gentleman to thrift
Restrain yourself, keep on your hat,
Your power is short, and think of this
'Twere shame to cheer an empty fat
Or help a scoundrel to place.
When pensioned peers and dowagcrs,
With thousands by the month or year,
Pretend to open p,their purse,

The working man should have one thought
To be forever free to toll,
And keep the wealth so dearly bought
To make his own hearth-stone to smile,
Some toll in this, and some in that,
But DER great men makeyou no fuss,
The tolls may soon be told-and what
Does any great man care for us?
The right divine to govern wrong
10 now an old insanity;
And lordly beggars will, ere long,
BE what all beggars ought to be.
To such--all such, keep on your hat,
Despise their holiness or their fuss;
Despise them-where it even that
They should affect to care for u.s.

GEN. BRowN----We are informed
that Gen. Brown addressed the citi-
zens OF Simpson county, in Westville
on last monday. The attendance was
unusually large it being the first day Of
court. The topics discussed were
principally the same, as noticed in his
former addresses. We are happy to
say that the apostacy of Jayne and
Mendenhall has had salutary influ-
ence upon the democracy of that coun-
ty. They are now not only democra-
tic, but as the wings would say, domo-
cratic with vengeance. The address
Of Gen. Brown was received with great
and undivided appreciation. There
is but little doubt that he will carry

IMPORTANT FROM MExrco.--Our advlces

Mexican presidential chair IS no sInceure at

of command with great dex,erity: but his
blows are required to fall so thick and heavy,
that there is but feeble hope, that the hero
of Vera Cruz will be able 10 hold out very
long. Already the States of Guanaxuato,
Jsnalisco and San Luis de Poosi, have suc-

We refer the agricultural reater to the
article of Mr.. Buckmiaster on The first page
as an example of what skil!ul husbandry
can do. On a farm where all the labor
"rxcept the haying" could be done by
one hand, the proceeds in single
season amounted to Sls2l. IS there
form or plantation in The Pee Dee coun.
try, or in South or North Carolina, Of which
this, or any thing that will bear comparison
with it can be said? Why the difference ?
Because New England is more favorable 10
profitable agriculture than Carolina? None
Of US think so. Nor is it owing chiefly to
the greater industry of the Yankees. 1t is
to be ascrbed TO the greater skill with which
heir l,bor is bestowed. Agriculture is not
like saving log. He that works hard
est does not always make most headway'
1, is more like the practice Of medicine, in
which the best informed, the closest obser-
yer. and sounIcst thinker, who costs about
for means suited 10 the end. and knows
when he has them, is most successful

ry 10 success in farming, as in most other

re- mulberry IS known 10 be durable and is
OF sufficiently rapid growth to make fence
in few years. The white mulberry would
also answer well, but may not last as long
as the red. TIE Alpine, which is consid.
cred hardy and durable, might prove TO be
the most suitable. We have seen only n
few branches of it, and one main sem ofa
lew weeks growth. From these We could
form no conclusive opin on; but they seem.
ed TO shew that, ,hougj, the tree has fewer
