Base desertiOn Of his Friends in
Howard, and i'm the state!

GIVE publish to-day the reply of Judge REY-
NoLDs, to those citizens of Monroe who had cate
chized him on the question of the Currency Bill,
and hope our friends will give it wide circulation,
and upon the wings of the wind spread it to every
corner of the state. 1t has covered the oicehold-
crs in this place with confusion and CONSERVATION,
and as will be observed, appears in the Democrat
without even an allusion. How they grated their
teeth upon its reception can only be inferred from
their sending it to the world stillborn, without no.
tice or endorsement
The leading friends of the Judge, IN This county,
are strongly committed to the BILL as reported to
the House of Representatives by DR.. Redman; and
his leading friends in the State are committed to it
as it passed the lower branch of the Legislature.
The leaders here were hence thunder struck when
the Monroe chatechism made disappearance, and by
arful language undertook to convey the impression
that the Judge could not receive it in time to pre-
pare an answer. letter also despatched and
published in Monroe creating the same impression
but Judge Reynolds is an old and sly tOX-had
traversed the state from one extreme TO the other
and ascertained for himself that he could not pack
the odious BILL and hence his reply silently Published
very quietly bids it good bye and in language which
none misunderstood, eXclaims at the top Of his
voice-"save himself who can"
This was exceedingly unkind in the Judge, and
we assure him his friends in these parts will curse
him in their hearts from this until the election, he
having forced upon them the necessity Of eating
their own words and facing to the right about, or
going for ticket which carries water both
shoulders. They may decide this matter just as
they please--eat their own words-face to the right
about--carry water on both shoulders-curse Judge
Reynods--go for all the odious currency bill, or
small part of t--back out, their great leader and
champion has been forced to do or stand up to the
rack they may do either or all these things and
yet our prediction will stand the same--they are
DOOMED to encounter the lasting curses of an honest
and indignant people, and look in the face Wing
ma orty in Howard on the first Monday in August!
We therefore conclude this racy and hasty arti
Gle, by calling particular attention the ANSWER
under consideration. We ask the voters to look at
the prohibitions, the oaths, the indictments, the
depositing of FREEMEN in the JAIL and PENI-
TERTIARY, the forfeiture of office, and other
matters which fill up DR. Redman's currency bill,
and then read the reply of Judge REYNOLDS, which
medesly contends for combining the banks of other
States TO notes of the SAME SIZE issued by our own
and expresses his DISAPPROBATION of every
thing else. In fact he expressly says-"I wouM
make No DISTINCTION Jetween our bank and those
Of other States, and thus droid rctalialion'--the
very identical doctrine commended for in the hand
bill of Mr. KRING, and for publishing which he has
been so much slandered and abused!
The truth is, Judge Reynolds is out against the
entire bill of Dr. Redman, 70 part of which being
fortunate enough to procure his endorsement. This
much, then, has been accomplished for the people
of Missouri by the ardent and untiring efforts of
Inc Patriot Wings of the State, and we give them
eternal honor for their all embracing and important
achievement.
Will DR.. Redman support his own JiR, or the bach
oui proposition Of Judge Reynolds And what will
the other loco foco candidates do We pause fof
a reply.
