THE BANK PARTY"

The last Examiner attempts to prove
that the democratic party is the bank par
ty. 1t publishes a table, by which it ap-
pears that portion of the democrats vot-
ed with the wings for certain banks dur.
ing the legislative session of 1884. 1t
also appears that greater proportion of
the wings than of the democrats voted for
these banks. Had the wings united with
the democrats that voted against the char
tiers, they might have prevented the pas
sage Of any bank bill at that session. The
fact is however notorious that but few
wings have been found voting against
banks, either before or since that time
Banks bad, before that time, confined their
operations more within their legitimate
sphere, and wele more honest in their
transactions, than they have since been;
hence, when it was represented that the
commercial business of section of the
State required their agency number Of
democrats voted with the wings for them
In 1887, the banks, by refusing to re.
deem their notes, violated their charters;
and since that time have been disregard
ing laws passed for the protection of the
people against their swindling operations.
They have, in violation Of law, issued post
notes payable twelve months after date,
and turned from their doors the Commits
sioners appointed by the Legislature to
examine their affairs and ascertain wheth-
er they were in a sound condition. No
democrat upholds them in these unlaw-
full acts, but all lovers of order are uni
ted in watching and guarding them as
they would an individual after he had
proved himself to be dishonest. But
what do the wings do now? So far are
they from desiring any restraint to be
put upon the Banks, that they are found
voting in the Legislature against all laws
suggested for the government of the
banks, and even attempt TO justify them
in all their unlawful doings. Thomas
Corwin, who IS going about the state cleo
pioneering for the Office ex-governor, does
not hesitate to denounce the Legislature
for "meddlng" with what he calls the
"SACRED bank charters" He is now
at the head of the bank party in this state,
and is supported by the bankers as their
candidate for Governor Should he sue
ceed, he will undoubtedly do all in his
power to abolish the Board of Bank Com
mssioners, and remove restrictions upon
banks. If his is not the bank party, we
know not what the term means.

HARRIsON'S OPINIONS.

Ever since the nomination Of Gen.
Harrison BY the pie-balled convention at
Harrisburg, an anxiety has been manifes-
ted to know the course he would take if
elected, relative to the leading questions
before the people. Letters have been
addressed to him from various sections
ofthe Union, requesting of him an avowal
of his opinions with regard to United
States Bank, the abolition of slavery, &c.
In answer to letter OF this kind from
Oswego, the fact was disclosed that the
General had submitted himself TO the
keeping of a certain committee in Gin
cinnati, who denominated themselves his
"ConGdential Committee" and who said
that the policy was, "That the General
make no further declaration of his princi-
pies FOR THE PUBLIC EYE whilst
occupying his present position"
This policy has been strictly adhered
TO. But it appears that the committee
have permitted the general to write let
tiers for the priUGte eye to different sec
tions of the Union, to be used to suit cir
cumstances, and shown to those only with
whom they would have an influence fa-
vorable to him. Some of the letters, al
though the General desired that they
should not be made public, have been
published. In one written to the whig
members of the New York Legislature
he says, "as it regards the subject upon
which me Legislature may be called to
act, the pledges and opinions should be
required, if required at all, Of the cGHdt.
dates for Congress"
This is a very weak shift. The people
know that, Gen. Harrison, ifelected Presi'
dent, will have an important duty 10 per.
form. They know that the Constitution
requires that the President "shalL from
time to time, give to Congress informa
ton ofthe state ofthe Union, and recon-
mend to their consideration such meas
urcs as he shall Judge necessary and cT'
pedient." And they are anxious TO know
before they vote for him, whether he will
ifelected, recommend the recharter of
United States Bank; whether be will re
commend the repeal of the i4dependen
treasury law; and whether he has aban
doned his plan of increasing fie taxes (
support a astandipg army, or ill recon
mend its adoption to Congress-
Gen. Harrison knows that he issuPpc'
ted by various and discordant factions
and that an avowal Of his principles nigh
lose him some one or more Of them, an
therefore he persists in his tefusal to an
swercandidly these inquiries. But il v

''My relations with Mr.Van Buren, continue, as
they were throughout my administration, of the
most friendly nature. They have, if possible,
been made more cordial, as far as my feelings are
concerned, by the signal ability and steadiness
with which he has sieered the vessel Of state
through the storm which has of late threatened
it. To think of abandoning him when he is Sc
nObly performing his duty, would be treachery tc

THE STANDING ARMY.

The wings are making much noise
about the proposition of the Secretary Of
War for the reorganization of the militia
of the United States. Since the adop-
ton of the Constitution, various plans
lave been suggested for this purpose,
most of which have been rejected as i'm
practicable or inexpedient. The exist
ing law was adopted in 1892. All admit
that it is very Inefficient and inadequate
to accomplish the desired end. 1t has
proved to be very difficult TO devise any
other plan which would be generally ap-
proved. The plan proposed by Mr.. Pon-
sett was reported against by the commit
tee on militia Of the Senate, which put an
end to the discussion of the subject in
Congress.
AS It's urged by the wings, as an ar.
gument against Mr.. Van Buren,. that he
spoke favorabIy of Mr.. Ponsett's sugges-
ton, we publish the following, to show
tn at no one has went further, or proposed
a more objectional plan, than their candi.
date, Gen. Harrison. He wishes to alter
the Constitution, for the purpose of giving
the General Government more power
over the militia.
GEN. HARRISON'S STANDING
ARMY.
In THE House OF R REPRESENTATIVES OF
THE UNITED STATES, February 2S, 1877,
Mr.. HARRISON submitted the following
proposition of amendment to the Cons IT,
tuition of the Uunited States:
ResolUed By the Senate and House Of
Representatives. of the United States ot
America in Congress assembled (t,Oo

islatures Of three-fourths of said States,
shall be valid, to all irtents and purposes,
as part Of the said Constitution.
Congress shall, concurrently with the
States, have power to provide for training
the militia, according to the discipline
prescribed for that purpose, and, whilst
engaged in thai service, they shall be
subject to the rules and regulations pre-
scribed for the government of the militia

ALBANY, Feb. IL.
Registry La,r-Redemption of the Country Notes
atpaT-Dapid Frost andhis HTifs, &c. &c.
The Governor, and all his satellites are opposed 10
the new Registry Bill; but it will pass the Senate,
nevertheless. 1t will be strenuously resisted in the
House, and its fate is somewhat doubtful, though
am inclined to think it will go through by a small
majority. The Governor is in favor of the I" largest
liberty" in the largest sense-of the right of suf-
frage, without restriction or lmitaton-in short he
is a radical of the most ultra kind. have never
conversed with man who carried his motives on
this point TO such extreme of folly and impracti-
cabity. Alexander Ming is a conservative, COM
pared with this wing Governor. When to this is
superadded the apprehension that Registry Law
will be unpopular, you imagine the zeal and ear
nestness with which the little opposes himself
to the project.
The bill to compel all the banks to provide for
the redemption of their notes in specie, in the city
of New York, was today made the special order for
Friday. On this subject, there is but opinion in
the Senate. This bill will become law in the
course of next week
The Court of Errors opened at II o'clock today,
and the first motion to turn out the crier and
sergeant. The case of which ! spoke yesterday,
which is to test the consttutonaity of the General
Banking Law, is suit brought by Joseph ID. Beers,
=
Company, of your city, against f. H. Warner and
James IA. Ray. The Court below decided in favor
of the constirutonay of the law, and this decision
will be affirmed by the Court of Errors.
i observe that some of the astute and far-seeing
editors at your city, expressing great fears about
a modification OF the Quarantine Laws You will
confer favor on these wiseacres, by mentioning the
fact that the existing laws this ject will be
touched. The bill that has been introduced in the
Senate, was prepared by your Chamber of Com
merce and presented by Mr.. Tompkins, as an act
of courtesy to the Board, without a minute eXami-
nation of its details. No one is pledged to advocate
it, has any particular wish to carry it through
1t will probably sleep undsturbed the files Of the
Senate.
David Frost, and Eveline his wife, who does not
know whether she is married not remain in statu
quo ante nuptals. The senate has been in commit
tee of the whole the bill to divide the happy pair
two three times, but there half dozen liquo-
IRISH gentlemen in that body who refuse to act until
they hear the original petition which details the
reason why Evene refused to cons ummate the mar
rage. However, the Embedded wife will lose no.
thing by the delay, for the BILL if passes, will be
clogged with clause prohibiting Eveline from con-
summating with any body else, according to law.
MIR. Bates Cook walked into his office one fine day
last week, and tumbled out the deputy Comptroller
and six clerks, neck and heels, and the locofocos
singing the seven pentental psalms in consequence.
