The citizeus of Montgomery and Autauga counties seem fully determined to get at the bottom of the frauds which have been perpetrated the state bank and its branches. On the 18th inst. in the former county, large meeting was held, at which q com mittee was appointed communicate with the branch at Montgomery, for the purpose of examining and ,n- vestigatng all discounts purchases of paper made by that bank in the years l840 and lS4i.

 In all these investigations, no one can doubt tha. the parties are ac,uated by the best motives. but without circumlocution, ii is equally plain that their proceedings ajudic'al and antagonstc to the law. of the state.

 We consider then that Mr. Tyler has taken the field as the champion of enlightened constitutional liberty-against MT. Clay who is for yndoing the work of the Revoton revertng to the policy of the dark ages, and adopting the abuses add corruptioas of the decaying monarches of Europe.
 Let Mir. Tyler be true to himsef-and be strong in heart, and the people will strengthen his arm. Let him remember that is forever unrayelling the Penelope web of her devotees, while Truth fights stronger for her yotaries than any ofus fight for truth. Let him have faith in the right. unshaken, undouhting, and he IS safe, the constitution, union and liberty are safe:-"Corruption wins not more than honey. ."-Chas. Mercury.

GENERAL TICKET Law.-Thc Flag ofthe Union states the following persuasive argument in favor of the General Ticket Law. Independently of any o,h- CT reason this should be sufficient to every de- nocrst to exert hmselto the utmost secure the frmation of this law at the approaching election
 "At the annual session of the present congress, which will be in December next, there will be a new appointment of representatives among the several states, and Alabama will gain one, if not two, ma. king her representation in that event, seven. If the General Ticket Law shall be repealed, the state will have to be divided anew into dis,rie;s. The increase of population since the of 1850, according to which the late division was made. has been in that portion o the state comprssg the three late whg districts; and consequently the district would have to be taken out of them. Upwards of eighteen thousand democratic voters, being than half of the entire democracy of the state, reside in these three districts yet they div, ded among the several counties to be in minority in almost every The district that would be created if thIs law shall be repealed would of necessity be whig district-gving the whigs four out of six, or five out of seven of the representatives a congress leaving the democrats, in either case, only two when their actual majority in the state is fpe thousand Jire hundred and tsoenfy.
