We regard the result Of the late election an EN-
phatic decision by the people against the echarer Of
the existing banks, by whom they have been long
robbed and plundered-against bank suspensions and
small notes, if practicable; and against bank eris-
ience if ipprdeticabieand in favor of the re-estab
lishment of board Of bank commissioners, and some
more effective enactments that will secure the public
against the lawless frauds Of the present banks. The
people have given the Democratic party a sufficient
majority to accomplish these vital objects. Let the
peoples will be one.-Delaioare Eagle.

II does not appear that any of the brokers Of this
