last election. Every bank in the State
was made by Van Buren, men
They also made all the Banks IN Ar
kansas. And all which have been made
in Illinois for the last eight or ten years
1t is well known that they made all N
Mississippi.
And the only one in Missouri.
Ind all winch have been made for the
last ten years in Louisiana, the capital
of which is forty-eigst millions
They made banks with forfy.four nltt-
lions OF capital in Pennsylvania
And more than one hundred banks IN
New York.
And all the banks in Alabama
These are some of the bank doing oil
the Van Buren, or anti-bank party, with
I'm tie last four or five years. Here are
facts positive and undenIable, which
shew that the Van Buren, men within
this short period have made more banks
than was made in the whole union for
thirty gears before.
We showed a few weeks ago that
banking had increased from 1880 to 1837
from 329 in number to 823, or serenity a
year; while previous to that time, when
National Bank existed peaceably, the
annual increase was sir. We now shew
that not only did this increase, astound-
ing as il is, take place during the decline
and non-existence of National Bank,
but in looking little into particulars we
see that almost invariably this immense
mass of banks and almost untold amount
of bank capital was created by Legisla-
lures having large and decided Van Blu
rem majorities.
These undeniable facts place the res
possibility of the great and injurious
increase of banks where it belongs in a
more forcible manner than days of ar
gument could do it.-Yazoo City Wing.
The VICE PRESIDENT. - The Spy in
Washington, in his last letter to the New
York Courier and Enquirer makes the
annexed remarks. We fully agree with
him; let not the wings interfere with the
action of the loco focos towards the
Vice President:
In a former letter | stated that the
Vice President, Johnson, would be put
upon the shelf. This, supposed would
be easily effected by such a combination
as is leagued against him. 1t would
seem, however, that there are difficulties
in the way of putting him down.-To
render the thing sure, there is a plot in
embryo, the object of which is TO over
haul the Indian School business so long
under the control of the gallant Colonel
In relation to it, there are hints and sur
misses that it is inexpedient at this mo-
ment to repeat. They have their origin,
however, in the camp of the Coalition.
The intrigue consists in an effort to make
the wings take the initiatory step to-
wards an investigation. | say, no. If
further must be done to COM
plete the political destruction oil the Vice
President, and pave the way for a palace
pet, let his dear friends do their own bust
ness in their own way.
Besides. it seems 10 be conceded here.
that Gen. Harrison will De elected Presi-
dent. His friends entertain no doubt,
while the candid and intelligent of his
opponents admit that the chances are
greatly ia his favor. With these bright
prospects opening upon the path of the
whlg party, is it not better that they
should wait few months longer, when
he various departments will be under
their control? When, through the Pre-
sldent, competent and honest officers may
DC designated to examine, at their leisure
he various bureaus and their dependen-
,ies, and to report such abuses as may
De discovered! In this way a thorough |
Investigation may be made and, beyond /
all doubt, Gen. Harrison will cause it TO
De done. For the present, therefore, |
say 10 the whigs-leave Col. R. NJ John
son IN the hands of his friends.
