FROM THE TRUE ISSUE.
JUDGE SPATTUCK.

The LocoS have in VAIN scrutnized the char
acter Of Judge Shattuck both public and pri-
vate, TO find some act, some false step which
they could tortue into a palpabie charge of
culpablity against him. They have failed en-
tirey of success, and as a last resort, have
brought up from the tomb, in which they have
SO long been quietly inurned. the articles of
association under which the Bank of New
ing, King & Co., went into operation. Among
the stockholders, they have found the name of
Judge Shattuck, and looking upon it as a God
send they eagerly embrace every opportunity
TO bazon ii to the world, thinking that by so
doing they can revive the old prejudices against
State banks. to iniure the Judge; but it will
avail them nothing--on the other hand, it will
recoil upon their own heads when the people
discover what base articles they practise TO
ruin man who is so deservedlv dear to them.
This Bank of McEwing, King & Co, in
the first instance, was nothing more than an
association of planters who had adopted that
method OF shipping their cotton, supposng 1t
would be more convenient and profitable than
any other; and as there were no banks IN that
i part OF the State, they agreed to bank upon a
bonahde capital procured from the sale OF their
cotton. They acted with as much fidelity to
the public, as an institution of that kind could,
and SO long as they continued 10 do SO, ia ige
Shattuck remained member of the associa-
!, ton; but when they began 10 pursue a reck-
J less and fraudulent course, he ceased to have
any connection with them, and never cooper
J ated with them in their proceedings in any way
/, whatever. The stockholders were men of all
parties and of the first cspectabiity, major
! lity of them being Democrats.
= 1t is in vain to attempt 10 identity Judge
$ Shattuck with the fraudulent banking thatw
carried on in this State, two or three years
D ago, as he never officiated in bank as direc
tor or officer of any kind, and only gave hi
/, name to an association which he honestly be
| lieved would act IN good faith = every one
! and be of considerable advantage 10 The por
|. ton of the State in which he resided. Wher
. it failed TO answer these ends, as far his La
bility permitted him, he withdrew frofrit, tina
tits, he condemned its proceedings and retnses
9 Ito attend any Of its meetings. Besides, Judge
J. Shattuck has been too poor to have engaged
lin such operations, and his honest poverty a
ii this time proves mat lie has made nothing p.
], defrauding his fellow citizens. Carhi accts

TEA AND CoFFEE-The Locofocos are SET
ting up howl about fixing duty on tea and
coffee, which, they say, is taxing the poor
1t is proposition Of their friend Woodbury.,
and they should place the saddle on the right
horse. Here is his report IN Y Star.
Another mode of raising the same amount
of revenue would therefore be preferable, if it
could be accomplished without including those
articles. Suppose, then, that there should be
selected from the free articles those which may
be regarded most as luxuries, though not in
every respect belonging exclusively to that
class, such as tea, coffee and Silks" &c, j" a
duty of twenty per cent on those, after pay
ing the expenses of collection, would yield
about the same amount of five Millions"
1t is an error to suppose that duty on tea
and sugar is tax on the poor. That duty
never should have been taken off, for the mo
ment three cents were taken of from the duty
on tea and coffee, that moment the cultivation
added the three cents 10 the price of his article
so that the Government lost some millions in
duty, and the consumer had TO pay the same
price, duty free, as when the duty was i'm
posed on the article.

editor of the Columbus Democrat, who is at
the head of all this, reconcile it to his con-
science TO assail Judge Shattuck in this wanton
and unjustifiable manner, for an act, honest in
intention, and so far as he was concerned, not
injurious in its consequences: when it is no.
torions he advocated the claims of Gordon d.
Boyd to seat in the Legislature, who filched
thousands from his country, and engaged in
every species of wild and visionary specula-
lion upon the peoples money, which he has
never restored to them Can the Democratic
party have the unparalleled ea'iontery TO de-
nounce Judge Shattuck for an act which they
admit in their calmer and honesier moments,
had no evil intention connected with it, and
support for Tie Office of Governor, Tighlnan
NJ. Tucker, who voted in the Legislature, TO
PLEDGE THE FAITH OF THE STATE
FOR SIX MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, to
support one of the most extravaganza, wild and
ruinous speculaions that were conceived du-
ring those times of public and private dshon-
esty. This vote should damn Mr. Tucker for
ever with the people, as it tended 10 create a
/ debt which we all know now he would have
repudlated. 1t should also damn him, as it
would have built up great system of fraud
and speculation compared to which, any of the
other schemes of those days would dwindle
into inSignfcance. Let those who live in
glass houses be cautious how they throw
stones, and let them take cars how they at
tempt TO injure the character of such man
as David .. Shattuck.

A week or two since the anti-bonders Of
Kinds, notwithstanding their previous caucus
ing and intrigues for the last two or three
months, for the purpose of finding four candi-
dates to run on The Locofoco ticket for the
Legislature, contrived TO search out three who
were soft enough to come out, bat whom we
understand have since declined, to escape the
blush that would have been caused by the GER
tain defeat that awaited them had they persisted
in their folly; not being able to persuade
another in the whole county, after due consid-
alton they recollected one who was opposed TO
the payment of the Bonds when first they
mounted this lobby who lived in the interior
of Madison county, but as this humbug was
got up too soon and so much light had since
shone on the subject they thought il was likely
he had changed, but as there was no certainty
of this fact and it was their only resort, the
gamblers thought to ring in the cold deck on
honest old Kinds; they were however mis-
taken, and did not catch her mapping, but true,
as she ever has been, TO republican principles.
We take the following from the Canton
Creole, TO show our prospects IN Madison:
DON'T INTRUDE."
"The people of Madison have every respect
for the good people of Kinds county, 9ut they
cannot furnish Kinds with candidates for the
Legislature, on the anti-bond ticket. The
anti-bonders in this county would most respect
fully suggest to the aati-bondmen Of Kinds
they have not candidates enough for their owl
purposes; that they have been trying by eau
cusing and otherwise for the last month o
two to get up a ticket for the Legislature, an
that SO far success has not crowned, or eve
smiled on, their efforts. The anti-bondmen {
Madison would further suggest to their fellow
of Kinds, that anti bondmen in this county az
scarce, very scarce, and if they could possbl
spare them a candidate, it would afford theT
!, extreme felicity to do so, bul they beg al pre-
sent that the anti-bondmen of Kinds excus
| them on this plea of poverty, and accept tn
assurance that if they were able they woul
willingly furnish them, without the expressio
f of any disapprobation OF the piratical act, a
ready committed, taking one without leave.
! Our success must be certain, when the tw
S counties combined cannot form Loco'oc
ticket.

We propose to the presses Throughout the
State in favor of honesty, the propriety of
suggesting to the Jugdes Of the coming cleo
ton, to ask each voter the question of-Bond
or Anti-5ond? and attaching to their names
A. or B., in order that posterity may know
who were, and who were not, opposed to the
payment of the State Bonds. Although there
is no compulsion TO answer this question, we
feel confident that no Bond-payer viii be
ashamed TO do so; and if the ntisbonders
are conscientious in their principles they will
not refuse either; and those who dodge 4,
may be considered 1nties, and have the
Black mark attached to their names.

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED
> STATES.
A RECOMMENDATIoN

When a Christian People feel them.
selves to be Overtaken by great public
calamity, it becomes them 10 humble
themselves under the dispensation of Di-
vine Providence, to recognise His
righteous government over the chill.
dren of men, to acknowledge His good
ness in time past, as we'll as thOir own un-
wOrtbiness, and to supplicate His merci-
ful protection for the future.
The death oe William Henry Harrison,
late President Of the United States, SO
soon after his elevation to that high Office,
is bereavement peculiarly calculated to
be regarded as heavy affection, and to
impress all minds with sense oc the un-
certainty of human things, and of the de-
pendence of natens,as we'll as individuals
upon our Heavenly Parent.
| have thought, therefore, that should
be acting in conformity with the general
expectation and feeling Ofthe community
in recommending, as now do, to the peO-
pie of the United States, of every religious
denomination, that, according to their sew.
eral modes aud forms of worship, they OBJ
serve day of fasting and prayer, by such
religious services as may be suitable on
the occasion; and recommend Friday,
the fourteenth day of May next, for that
purpose; to the end that, on that day, we
may all, with one accord, Join in humble
and reverential approach to Him,in whose
hands we are, invoking him to inspire US
with proper spirit and temper of heart
and mind under these frowns of His prov
idence, and still TO bestOw His gracious
benedictions upon our Government and
our country. a.5a5..,.
