"Ifany director, directors of any bank in this
State, any officer person having charge or
control Of said bank, or interest in the same shall
corruptly emit, or ia be emitted, put in
circulation any amount of bills of said bank beyond
The amount limited, and prescribed by the charter
such person persons, so offending, shall on con
viction thereof be confnded TO hard labor in the
States prison. for a term not exceeding ten years
in he discretion OF the court
We also refer you 10 the 4, 5, and sections OF
the same act "a further guards agausi frauds Of
bank corporatons If this act be not sufficient, we
know not what cab be tone. Perhaps the Tories
would choose to have tie oEHnders against the Sd
section hung instead of being co'Hsd to hard labor
in the State $ Prison.
Ii is difficult please every body ANT, we should
not be surprised if The Tories should deny the'e
being any such act, the one have referred To-,
although it is to be on the 10 and l1th pages
Of the printed laws of the last session of the Gen
eral Assembly. Such denial would not be more
strange, than their DENIAL Of the truth of Mir SHADES
Address lately published in the Wing Fpapers. n
Tory holds to pasSioe obedience and resistance
hel efore, if the evidence be clear, and fall
to prove IA most shameful usurpation of power, and
total is-regard OF the constitution of the United
States by the President, Tory will 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. Slade $
Address published in late North Star. These
remarks show such recklessness, and disregard
Of the TRUTH that the publisher needs the prayers
of all good people. AT this day, the Tory motto is
''Smilie and Bank reform" Did Mr. Smile vote
for the act to which we have referred The Jour
nal of the Senate shows no such thing.
But we know, that worthy Governor, Siias
II. JeniSon, approved the act, which shows that he
was for protecting the rights of the people. The
approval of this act, in connexion with his high
qualifications for the office, should induce every
honest freeman to give his vote for SILAs II. JENI
SON to be Governor the ensuing year.
We have lately read that is called the Biography
of Nathan Smile, the Tory candidate for Cover
nor. 1t was first published in the s'Reormer and
Democrat - ga small sheet issued during the cleo
pioneering campaign at the Patriot Office, Montpel-
ier." This small sheet has no known editor, who
is responsible for what is published. 1t is depos
itory of ingenious falsehoods to be extracted and
republished IN other Tory papers, when ;helr edi-
tors are like to fail for want of stock. Among
the falsehoods, find SMILES Biography, which
is extracted, and republished by the editor of the
North Star. Some editors think it is less criminal
10 extract and republish a falsehood than it is to
fabricate, and publish it in the first instance J.; but
this is doubtful morality Freemen ! BE on your
guard against Puffers and Biographers, who write
to deceive you and publish their writings in that
.!small sheet" When you see extracts from that
polluted source, turn from them with disgust.
