alities and solemnity, authorising the Pc
titiOners to bank, &C., for the public good,
certain class of politicians maintain that
the same Legislature has not the power
to interfere in the regulation of these
banks. Why then was application made
by this same party to the Legislature to
Iegallse the issue of post notes, in viola.

the charter may be suspended or set aside
by the Legislature; or they may lepalize
the refusals of payment at will, or stop il,

come up to the provisions of their char

seemed 10 think be could be made Presi-

the people, even Of his own State, wish
not to have him in the Halls Of the Ma

the instructions sent him from Tennessee,

A few months ago, this SCOUNDREL

character, gave him an agency, and for
warded him quantity Of the medicine.
This no soon sold, and RENTED the mo-
ney, and ordered another lot, With was
sent about one month since. To avoid any
suspicion as to the DESIGN Of his applv-
ing for an agency, or to conceal his sCLO-
VEN FOOT; he made partial remit
lance of the sales Of the last lot, only ten
days ago. Yesterday, with utter astonish.

we're made on the true post note policy

The former, an independent press, rests
on firmer basis than the latter, and can

we would ask the patrons Of the "Pincy
