ATTENTION BANK MEN,!


The following article which we take
from the May Monitor, is not less
applicable TO the Wings Of Mississippi
than Ken'uchy-Here. as in Kentucky,
they profess to support General Harrison
because he is in favor of United States
Bank, whilst the Virginia Wings, alias
Federals,s pretend to support him, quote
from his speeches and letters, aud recon-
mend him TO their fellow citizens, because
say they, we have his unqualified declara.
ton that Bank is unconstitutional-Cu
r ster, the great wing leader in Tennes-
see, said in a ublic speech, that Virginia
had always been rather hydrophobica up
on the subject Of a Bank Here we see
the federal leaders, upon the subject Of u
Bank, playing the same game as upon the
abolition qoestion-hcre he is a Bank man,
proof by Gen. II himself, there an anti.
Bank proofby the same witness here he
goes his death against abolition, there, he
is with them heart and hand and can e
quoted to sustain both Sides But 10 the
