MARK HOW A PLAIN TALE SHALL
PUT THEM DOWN..

For some years the cry Of corruption has
been rased against the Administration. The
people have asked-where? The accusers
have said-every where! In every Depart.
ment there is rottenness-say the Wings
Well then, why do not the opposition ferret
out and specify when and where the cor
ruption is? ave would do it," say the vera.
cious wings, shut speaker Polk packs the
committees on US, and we cannot do any
thing" Now let an honest people see the
facts:
The Congress Of 1899 met in December
and the Wigs elected their Speakers, and
MIR. Hunter gave them a majority in all the
committees upon public expenditures-a ma
jority in each and ever committee where
these rotten %corruptions were said to be; and
behold! after a session of seven months Con,
gress has adjourned. and none of these false
charges are established-not one! The com
mittees have hunted after their promised dis
closures, with a majority Of prejudiced op'
ponents to the Government on each com
mittees and where are their Reports! VIVA,
discovery has been made! None-all is
well!
But they will continue to make a noise
about the Administration and its corruptIons.
Shame on such hypocrisy-such defamation
Men of sense should scCrn to %countenance
such a party-men of probity should re.
nouce their attachment tie such leaders,

ASSURANCE DoUBLY sURE.-There is quite
a pleasant hit in the following, at the veraci.
ty of those who presume to doubt to infalli
bility of the political papers. Toms saying
they "are such liars, that for his part he did
not believe any of them," reminds us of an
anecdote of the miller and his three sons.
Coming into the mill, and finding a grist in
the hopper, the old man called out
"Tom have you tolled this gristg'
ayes sir"
"Bill have you tolled this grist"
ayes SIR"
"Sam have you tolled this grist"
ayes sir"
"You are a pack Of lying ~scoundrels,'
says the old man, 81 don't believe a word
you say-W toll it myself"

The CorToN cRop.-The southern papers
generally confirm the reports Of the destruc-
ton of a great portion Of the cotton crop
by the army mourn. The AIabama Beacon,
published at G reensborough, Ala, in a recent
number, says:
@We mentioned about three weeks ago, in
a notice we took of the growing crop of cot
ton, that it would be one-third less than that
of last year. The worm has prevailed
since that time to so great an extent that we
are now induced to believe, that it will not
exceed half the crop Of last year. This ap-
pears now to be the general impression Of
the planters, so far as we have been able to
learn"

THE MULTIPLICATION OF BANKS
DURING THE EXISTENCE OF A
UNITED STATES BANK.

1t is a common assertion of the wings,
that the United States Bank prevented the
growth and multiplication of the state banks.
A. greater faIlacy was never asserted. At
the time of the adoption Of the first charter
of the United States Bank in 1891, there
were but very few state banks in existence
the published statistics say only six.
The truth is that the state bank system
grew up under the wing and patronage Of
the United States Bank.
In 1916, there were GAG banks.
In 1920, there were 30S banks.
In 1880, there were $50 banks.
In 1884. there were sos banks.
In 1885, there were 5o8 banks.
In 1886, there were 567 banks.
The old United States Bank was charter
de in 1916 and expired in 1886; thus dur
ing its whole existence there was a continual
multiplication Of banks. Some accounts place
the number of banks higher during this peri
cd. A statement in Niles Register places
the number of hanks in 1888, at about 700.
In April, 1918. Mr.. Niles said-'We see
every where new banks established. or at
tempting to be established. Behold! forty
three new banks authorized in Kentucky;
ten in Tennessee; eight in Ohio; a mass in
little Rhode Island; some IN virginia, Mas
sachusetts. &C.. sixteen petitions for more
banks in New York, and some wanted in
Pennsylvania; half a dozen new ones in
Maryland, and from fifty to a hundred propo.
sed in various parts of the United States"
1t seems that the mania for banking was
stimulated instead of being restrained by the
great regulator. The legislature of New
York, in 1925. incorporated .wenty-three
banks. They multiplied in every direction
during the existence Of both Of the banks
of the United States. They talk against
the we'll established history Of the cur.
gency, who say that the United States
Bank has ever sustained the multiplication
of the state banks. The whole error is in
the state legislation. and the remedy must be
administered by the legislatures of the states.
1t is in vain to look for a correction from
congress, or a national bank.

An investigation was held in st. Louis on
Saturday the 2sd ult. by the Mayor, which
resulted in the committal to prison of a man
named Archibald Thurman, pilot of Icelan.
der ferry boat, on a charge of wilful murder.
1t appears that three lads were anchored in
a skif, and fixing their fishing lines, when
Thurman allowed the boat to bear down
so close to them that when the bell was rung
for the engine to stop it was not in time to
prevent the boat faom passing over the skif,
whereby one O the boys the son ofa French.
man named Polosks, was drowned.

OSTcsO Union associations
neutrality-suspicious. letter Of the 3lst
! uli. addressed to Gen. Harrison, has been
placed in our possession with view to
early attention. This is unavoidable in
consequence Of the very numerous letters
daily received by the General, and to
which his reply in person is rendered alb
soluteIy impraclicable. As from his con-
lidential committee, you will look upon
this response, and if the policy observed
by the committee should not meet with
your appreciation, you will contribute the
error rather to ourselves and his immedi-
ate advisers. than General Harrison.-
That policy is, that the General make no
further declaration of his principles, for
the public eye, whilst occupying his pre-.
sent position. Such course has been :
dopted, not for purposes of concealment,
nor to avoid all power responsibility; but
under the impression that the Generals
views, in regard 10 all the important and
exciting questions Of The day, have here
tofore been given to the public, fully and
explicitly; and that those views, whether
connected with constitutional or other
questions of very general interest, have
undergone no change. The committee
are strengthened in regard to the proprie-
ty Of this policy; that no new issue be
made to the public, from consideration
that the National convention deemed it i'm.
polite at the then crisis to publish any
general declaration Of the views of the
great Opposition party, and certainly the
policy at the present remains unaltered.-
In the mean lime, we caunot help ex.
pressing the hope that our friends every
where will receive the nomination of Gen
eral Harrison with something akin to gen.
crous confidence. When we reflect upon
the distinguished intelligence of the no.
minating convention-how ably all inter-
ests were represented in that body; we
certainly have high guarantee, that
should General Harrison be the successful
candidate for the Presidency, that office
will be happily aud conslilulionally admin
istered, aud under the guidance of the
same principles which directed our Wash
ington, Jefferson, and Madison. Believ-
ing you will concur with us in the pro-
pricty Of the policy adopted, we have
pleasure in subscribing ourselves
Your friends.

Extract of letter to the Editor Of the Grccnvillc
Mountainecr dated

Mountalnecr, datcd
CoKEsBURY, March 25.
Dear Sir: We have lately had a very
gracious revival of religion at this place.
A two days meeting was appointed, at the
close of which more than usual anxiety
was manifested by the congregation about
the salvation of their souls. This omen for
good was observed by the clergymen pre-
sent, which induced them to continue the
meeting. 1t commenced on Saturday the
4th inst. and was protracted from day to
day with increased interest, until Sunday
the 22d, during which time many souls
were happily converted to God, and be-
tween twenty-five and thirty united them
selves to the Church at this place. The
revival has been chiefly confined to the
Students of the Male and Female Schools,
many of whom, but few days ago, were
running the giddy rounds Of calnal pleas
ures, are now entirely changed into the
humble followers of the meek and lowlv
Jesus, and are seen rejoicing in God their
Saviour. The Faculty, seeing the uncom-
mon religious excitement which pervaded
the minds of the Students, was induced to
suspend the operations of both schools, in
order that all might become solely cnga-
ged in the service of the Lord. The hoary
headed sire and the little boy of years
old were seen bowling together at the altar
of prayer, and with united voices calling
upon God to pardon their sins. The scene
in every respect was grand and impoing,
and the services of almost every day were
blessed with the shouts of new born souls.
The ministers of the gospel seemed to be
clothed in the spirit Of their calling, and
ceased not by day or by night, to pointthc
mourning soul to the Lamb of God that
takcth away the sin of the world: not fail
ing to declare to the congregation that in
creased daily in interest and numbers, the
whole counsel of God. The backsiiAer
and lukewarm professor have been re-
claimed and made to renew their vows OF
fidelity to the service Of their mercifll High
Priest. There arc many mourning souls,
who have not as yet found God precious
to THEN souls, but who manifest d;s2os;-
ton towrestle in prayer until thcy receive
the blessing. 1t is devoutly to be hoped
that the gracious work will continue till
the whole Village shall be made to bow at
the foot Of sovereign mercy

From the Augusta Constitutioaalist.
GENERAL HARRISON.

Itwould seem, from the following cor
respondence, that zen. Harrison is in
leading strings, and that his party had
found it most expedent to appoint Guar
dams over him, during the presidential
contest. We felt mortified al reading this
correspondence, on account of the kind
feeling we entertained for the Gen eral, ,
aud the position he now occupies as Cam
didale Tor the highest office within the gift
Of the people Of this country. But why
have Guardians been appointed-or, as the
letter Of the committee denominate them,
confidential advisers?-Wasi it apprehend-
ed that the General might commit some
indiscrclion? Why has he not been left to
his free will-to the exercise of his good
sense and to his notions of what is right
or wrong! One thing is certain, the wings
have determined no declaration shall be
made by General Harrison, of his princi-
Piles, but what can be gathered from the
opinions he formerly expressed.
From the Oswego Palladium
GEN. HARRISON.
We call public attention to the following
most extraordinary reply, made Gen.
Harrison's Committee at Cincinnati, to a
letter addressed to him by the Union AS
sociation of this village. We are obliged
to member of the association for a copy
of the letter of the commitae in reply
thereto.

DEAR SIR: In accordance with a resolu.
lion Of the Union Association Of Oswego,

to you in relation subjects that large por-
ton of this section of the country feel a
deep interest in. The first is
Are you in favor of receiving and refer
ring petitions for the immediate abolition
of slavery in the District of Columbia.
Sccond.-Are youin favor OF U. States
Bank, or some institution similar to that
for the safe keeping and disbursing of the
public moneys, and for giving a uniform
currency throughout the United States.
And lasily.-Would you favor the pass
age ofa general bankrupt law by Congress,
so that its operations ight be equal in
all the States Of the Union.
l have only to say, sir, that the above
inquiries are made in accordance with the
unanimous wishes of this association, the
members Of which. am instructed to say,
entertain the highest regard for your past
services, and hope, should you be elected

minated, that nothing may occur to lessen
you in the estimation of a great and free
people. am Sir,
Respectfully, your obd't. serv't.
