co who has figured in the Brandon bank trans.
nc, lions in Mississippi. but who now resides in
TINT town, came up to the polls with negro
man, whom he had brought with him from
Mississippi. and attempted 20 get in his vote
for the Van Buren, governor. lie did nrt pre-
tend that he had enlancipated his slave. but
intended that in this state he beclne free
by being brought here by his master. The
selecimen rather hesitated to admit the vote
of the slave, and the idea of freemen being vo-
ted down by slaves create so much excitement:
in the hall that the dem ocratic master and
slave withdrew. In c. nversation, the master
said ..Sino is true democrat-he will vote
just as massa says" This is said tn be the

Are YOU in favor Of protective tariff!
Did you vote for or support property qual-
ificatun foG vtters i'll the Convention Of New
York!
Are you in favor Of reducing the standard of
wages!
Whether you are in faver Of the Secretary
of Wars PIN for organizing the Militia!
These questions are rot made for the pur-
pose OF unr endly crit ism, hut only from
sincere wish to have your own views on these
SUI jActs.'
The response to these questions is OF the
"mum' mysttication. and humbug principle
winch Mr.. Van Buren, is admirably qualified
to reduce to practice. To the first question
he replies by referring to another letter writ
ten by himself. The second is swerrahic
referring to paper prepared by his friend
at Albany" The third question he does mot
comprehend precisely" and therefore he gives
IL string of words in reply which nub"dy ever
can comprehend precisely. nd the t"urth
question he does not answer at all Not =

allel and will, as soon as the intelligence of it
reaches Europe, close the doors OF every res
pectable house against the Bank or any Agent
the State may send there, under the present
ruling power and the same Directors. We
hazard, we believe, nothing jim saying that no
capitalist, after this exposure of the cores
pondence of Messrs. Huth & Co. and the I'M
lust and unwarranted differences attempted to
be applied TO their letters, will have any thing
TO do with the institution or the State. The
Bank, so far as the procurement of credit er
the selling of the State bonds are concerned, is
completely PROSTATE for the present. The loan
of half a million which she lately made to pay
off the United States, and which it was eX
pected would be met by the sale Of State bonds
must now be provided for from other sources or
20 unpaid. This, we believe, Is the opinion Of
every intelligent inancier in this city.
1t is useless, therefore, to waste the time o.
the Legislature on this subject. The institution
is at present, for all useful or beneficial purposes
as completely paralyzed as it was in the power
of the Legislature to have made her. She has
blasted her own reputation, and it will require
a complete revolution in her affairs to do away
the injury and place her back, even where she
heretofore has been.
