A Proposition.

In another column will be found a call CT a
portion of the Democrats of Marion County,
for a general meeting to unite upon some person
as a suitable candidate for Congress from this
part of the State. If this be necessary in Ma
rion, how much more SO is it in Pike? Marion
belongs to the enemy. Federalism, and her little,
impotent, good-for-n nothing Branch Bank, has her
bound hand and foot. But if we differ from Ma
rion in this, we resemble her in having two of
our citizens a~spirants for the honor of represent
ing US in Congress. As things are now work.
ing, neither stands the remotest chance for sue
cess, and, what is infinitely worse, we shall be
the next August election. This is as inevitable
as fate, unless somhthing is done to heal our de-
visions, and that speedily. To obviate this, we
propose to the Democrats of this County, to as
semble at the Court House in this place, on the
9Th of January next, and instruct the Delegates
to the Convention from this County, for whom
they are to cast their votes. We believe neither
of the gentlemen alluded to will object to this;
but if they should, let the people exercise their
rights, and instruct the Delegates to vote for
some other aspirant. If any of onr friends have
any objections to make to this proposition, let
them speak out, without delay. If We hear of no
serious objection, we shall, in the next number
of the Radical, make a call of the Democrats,
on our owm responsibility. We verify believe
that unless this course be adopted, we are lost to
the Feds, and. Gas diseases desperate grown, re-
quire desperate appliances, we take upon our
selves the responsibility of making this PROPOSE
ton, and shoulder the consequences.

Another Blow-up Of the Shinplastrrs.

Cairo notes are now at a discount of five per
cent. and "no go" at that. The Perpetual In
surance Company have refused to take them at
their counter, and the merchants are advertising,
that they will receive them for merchandise.
There is no knowing how soon it may be as
had any confidence i'll the Bank, and, sooner or
later, il must sink to nothing, and the people Of
Missouri suffer heavily from its failure. Its ca
tastrophe will we hope learn us wisdom, and in
cite our lawmakers to the passage of some law,
that will gradually drive the worthless trash
with which we are inundated entirely out Of cir
c~ulation. 1t would seem, that our people are
deaf TO all the experience of the past, and the
events Of the present. Notwithstanding that
they have it in their power TO maintain the sound
est currency and the best circulation of any State
in the Union, they still persist in countenancing
the system of l~egalized plumber carried on by the
banks, which is every day stripping them of
the hard earnings of their labor. BY the aid of
the immense emigration which is year after year
pouring into our State, together with the quanti-
ties of the precious metals imported ty the trade
to Mexico, we should soon have no need of these
shinplasters, if once driven out of circulation.
A few s~alutary enactments would do the work
for US but it vii not be done, until our people
lose thousands upon thousands more, by the
notes of the banks of other States.

THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE LAw.-It is no
unusual thing to see men in this country rise
to eminence at the bar, and in the State, by
their own unaided energies, and the natural
v;oor of their minds. Ofthis kind was Judge
s., of Maryland. He had come to the
bar late in life, avoiding, or overstepping the
dull technical formalities which surrounded
the usual approaches to the practice. Hav.
ing reached the profits and advantages OF
his profession without them' he felt or affect
ed for them indiffeTences or contempt
and the old .Martinets'' of the law were
often made TO stare at the liberties he would
take, with what they deemed ind'sPensloie
and necessary forms and rules OF pFactice'
To S. the form was nothing, so that he
could seize their right.

We ask every Dsmocra to read the article
copied from the jefferson Enquirer. In our
humble judgment there never has been a period
when the Democratic party of this State was in
such eminent danger of being split up, divided,
and conquered. The number of candidates for
the nominations to Congress, is so great, that 1t
will be almost impossible to select a ticket that
will give satisfaction to all and we fear that there
will be some who will set the nomination at de-
fance, and run upon their own hook. There
will be no difficulty in finding excuses enough
to justify them in this course, and the conse-
quence will be, that they will be supported by
the Federalists, and the nomination defeated.
We shall hope for the best; but we confess, that
our fears are great that there ara not a few in
the Democratic ranks in this State, who prefer
their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT to the interest of the
party and its principles.

The Fiscal AGENCY.

Congress met on last Monday, and we may
possibly get the message by this day week. In
the interim, public expectation is on tiptoe, to see
what recommendation the President will make
to Congress of an agency for keeping and dis
bursting the public revenue. The New York
Herald has the following on this subject:

An EXTENSIVE CLArM.-One of the most
important cases that has arisen since the set
Element of Jersey, is now in litigation before
the Supreme Court of the U. States. 1t is a
comprehensive claim, made by a Mr.. S. Wad
dell against the State, of all the land under
water in all the rivers of Fast Jersey, and for
three leagues beyond the shore. All the
i,heries, ferries. oyster beds in East Jersey
depend upon the result, and no farmer can
build even a dock ifhe succeeds. Mr.. George
Wood and Mr.. Carrot ID. Wall are employed
bv the State to defend its rights: and ST. i'm
por,ant is the matter deemed by tho Legi>la-
ture, that before adjourning they passed a
resolution directing the Governor. if compnt
ible with his other duties, to attend the suit.
Mr.. Waddell sues in the name and in behalf
Of the East jersey proprietors. and the appeal
by the State TO the Supreme Court is from a
decision in the Circuit Court, favorable 10 the
claimants. The issue of the suit will decide
a similar claim Of the West Jersey propri-
