The assertion that all those who are
opposed to the payment Of the State bonds
are dishonest oftd thieuiSh is without (oun.
daton. There are honest and correct
men opposed to the payment Of the State
bonds, as will be found in any communi
ty. We believe, however, that this OPP
position proceeds from erroneous prejudl-
ces, or want Of correct information on
their part, and not from any dishonest
principle, That there are a few design
ing demagoguos, and dishonest politicians,
who are leading or at least endeavoring
tolead the people wrong upon this question
we do believe, men, who would not scru-
pie to lie, and pervort the pIanest facts,
Tor the purpose OF aggraudizeing them-
selves or their party, and who do make
use of this much vexed question for this
very purpose, in this precise manner
Witness for instance the course of Gov.
McNuit, One day expressly declaring
under the sanction Of an official oath, and
in the most solemn manner, after mat ure
deliberatlon, that the faith Of the State
ispledged for The eOhole capital stock Ii. e.
ofthe Union Bank) and the property of
all her citizens may hereafter be taxed
to make up all its losses and deiacations. ="
--(See Message 184o) And in the next
moment that "the State is not bound for
the payment Of the Mississippi Union
Bank Bonds" Can any thinking man
batbeiievc that he is making humbug of
this question for the purpose Of aggran.

dIzlng his party, and himself Will the
people pause ard reflect viii they in.
yestlgate the Bond question without re,
ference to their pockets. When the rev
dictionary patriots declared war against
Great Britain, they knew that it would cost
them millions; yet they felt thatthelr cause
was founded in Justice and right, and they
staked their fortunes and lives upon their
faith. Investigate the right, Legality and

which ever way seems TO be the most right
advocate it. We believe the people to be
honest, and when they thus reflect, we
have no doubt but that their rerdict wiH
be a juSt and righteous one. But if they
rely upon, aud are led by ign"s fdtuus
politicians, their verdict may be contrary
to law and evidence, contrary to right and
Justice.

every State could be prudent enough, tc
keep their State Banks, regular, honest and

the inetficiency of State Banks. Ia this
point Of view, our State raising the great
staple Of our own country, more abun~
dainty than any other, has in a great de-
gree, by encouragement, lost her pecu-

5. Although the writer Of this article

by Gen. Jackson and his devoted parti-

7, When the Gen. was determined to
putdown this establishment, which had ex-
listed for forty years, the directors arrayed
themselves in opposition. His popularity
was irresistible, and the Bank fell. 1t

Sentence Of Lennpn. p. G. II Lennen
found guilty several months since Of hav
ing in bis possession a large quantity Of
forged notes and implements of forging.
was yesterday sentenced by Judge Con
mage.
Some time ago Lennen's counsel, Ran.
dial Hunt, Esq, made a motion for new
trial in his behalf. He fortified his mos
ton with an argument of much length
and ability, and sustained it by "A number
Of legal authorities. The Attorney Gen
eral opposed the motion with earnest zeal,
it was out yesterday the Court decided
that he overrued the motion. His decis
ion whNh, was written, he then read in
public court.
The Judge then asked the prisoner if
he had any thing to say why sentence
should not be passed on him, or any res
marks to offer that might induce the court
to mlliga'e the punishment which it deem.
ed due TO his crime.
The prisoner said he had nothing to
urge which the court was not already in.
formed either by letter or otherwise. He
hoped the Judge would not forget that he
was a married man, and that a beloved
wife and helpless family had none other
in the world than him to look TO for their
supports he trusted the court would also
take into consideration the long period
during which he has already been in pri-
son.
The Judge told the prisoner that his
case did not present single feature which
called for the enlencv OF the Court The
prisoner had been deeply and extensively
engaged in a system of crlme which struck
at the very root OF society, deranged con-
tidence between man and man, and went
on TO destroy the civil compact. His op.
eTatlons were fortunately discovered at
the commencement o: his career if they
had not been God knows what would have
been the result
lie then read the statute prescribing
the punishment for his crime, aud con.
tinued Lennen, sentence you to five
Yeas Imprisonment in the penitentiary
at hard labor and to the costs of the
court"
Ltnnen slurred over some words, which
showed he was not half pleased with the
sentence. So he was then remanded to
prison.
Whatever Lennen may be, or whatever
may be his wife, never have we seen such
an instance Of devoted attachment as her
conduct since his incarceration presents.

The United States Bank Bill, has pas
sed both Houses Of Congress, and has
been presented to the President for his
signature. We entertain no doubt but
that President Tyler will sign the bill -
There has been much speculation among
the letter writer's at Washington, whe.
Their Or not the President would veto Mr..
CIay's bill. Mr.. Tyler has expressed no
opinion, whatever, in regard to the bill,
for which he deserves to be appIauded.-
Mr. Tyler's former views, together with
the attachment he owes to the Wing par
ty, that elected him to power, and the
vi:ws which that party entertained and
publicly expressed at the time he was
their candidate, all forbid his exercising
the veto powers.
