UNION BANK MONEY,

Considerable speculation has lately heen
going on this trash. The brokers Of New
Orleans, and other places, have combined
TO raise the price of il, with the view Of
shifting fupon the ignorant and unwory
the large amounts which they hold. We
warn the public against this trick. The
paper Of the bank is not north Shucks
The Federal Court, which will meet in
this city on the first Of next month, will
completely use up the concern. All the
property which the bank holds, including
the nine millions Of bills receivable, will
not pay The judgments which must 60
against 4, and which they can never bond
Those who are iedehted 70 the bank may
then purchase up its notes for song and
lift their own. Again we warp the public
against this trick of the brokers, to raise
for time the price Of the paper. In six
months il will not sell for ten cents in the
dollar. Mississippian.

GEN. WIN. z. JONES.


GEN. WIN. F. JONES.
Justice tompels US to notice the at
tempt on the part Of the Vino REPUB-
LlCAN Of the Goth October, to connect
the election of Major General with
politics. The Wing endeavors to show
that Gen Jones has made it political
question, and that his competitor had
not. TO show this, letter written by
Gen. j. some time about the first OF
August last, in reply TO an invitation of
the citizens of Copiah, to partake of
dinner, given to the Hon A. G. Brown,
is quoted. This letter, as was perfect
~ natural. alludes TO the political top
les ofthe day, but says NOT ONE WORD
about the election of Major General,
neither had it any, the remotest con-
nexion with that election. Now it is
pretended that Capt. Lewis has not
expressed his political sentiments,oRA
Ly, if not in writing, as freely as Gen.
Jones did? We do not say that Capt.
l.. has connected his political opinions
with the clection-neithar has Gen,l
Jones.
But the Jealous Wing Republican
'.knows Capt. l.. 10 be staunch wing
What does that mean but saying TO
the wings, vote for him BECAUSE HE Is
a WING?
The VINO REPUBLICAN either knows
not the use Of language, or wilfuly
states that, which it must know to be
incorrect, when it, says" Why you
find one relying upon his military quail
ihcations as recommendation fol
Your suflrages, and the other recon-

Jones' letter, quoted By the Republi

has Gen. Jones ever, to knowledge
written or spoken word to give th,

assertion that Gen. Jones "recommend

they are not divided and will beat them

The opposition to Mr. NEED arc so viz.
