@po'JJV RACED pretty generally over

S''w. informed which must change,
We a'' Of those gentlemen who haa

pos ';, " and laws in the purchase

@ ',a IA to legaIize the ilega; sale. Mr..
I I1Is looked on Legislators as puppets IN
Or I,,1, Of bankers 10 be moved 10 suit
" Of the money dealers; one OF his
,ms was that the managers OF banks
"a ,, could not procure just such laws as
i.J them, were unfit for the proper
."b,rno Of their duty. In many oil his
s';,S,ons for the purchase of bonds
e. local disabilities against selling at
Wv ",;ce we're suggested by the commits.
E'l r the above was his reply; and the
D,,ss which he pursued in Congress and
.nn,vlyania in bribing members, showed
" he practised what he preached -
~so in his late letters he unblushlngly
lava that the bank ought to have dicia-
as own terms to the Legislature and
n resumed payment until the day of
rmpn,. If it were not entirely conven-
~ And we have no doubt but the
;a;oo Rank Of this State was strong
,oonsh to have bribed our Legislature
'hs1 N The winter Of 80, 80 or 40, for
H. massage of such bill: but they knew
N, the Stern patriot Gov. McNutt stood
4, their way, aud he was not to be moulded
h Gov. Porter. They did not however
tempt 10 legalize fraud, and now the
Sank is too powcrIess to do any thing
silher for Nick Biddle or the King Of
loand. Another point TO which we
koull call the attention Of those who may
lave thought that the bonds had passed
inlo innocent hands, and therefore, we
bught 10 indemnify them. 1t appears that
BE- bank has upwards Of three millions Of
hese bonds yet; and hence only the guilty
EiII suffer.
Bot for our own part, we require none
b the powerful inducements to repudlate
These bonds. We believe that the first
Duty o! a CT izen is to preserve inviolate,
s.aIast foreign or domestic aggression,
HE constitution and laws Of his country.
Now all must admit that both were grossly
tanped on, both in making and selling
Tho bonds Of this State. We believe fur
her that bond making by States and
banking in all shapes not only unconstltu,
|ioOaI, Bot that they are the natural enc
pie, of equal rights, liberty, justice, hon,
pr and happiness, and every constitutional
I'D legal means ought to be pursued which
PROMISES to break up the infamous liberty
lnd soul destroying system. 1t has long
lince reduced England TO a den Of pirates
thieves and paupers the most degraded ;
pnl look at the moral pestIlence with
which it has visited this country. We
glory in the thought that we were the first
% raise our voice for the unqualified repu.
1ialion Of the bonds of this State. The
principle will be ,riumphanlly sustained
ei the November elections, aud prece-
dent will thus be Get for Florida, Mich.
ban, Illinois, and all those States that
pave been swin5led out OF their bonds by
Phe U. 5. Bank and the foreign gamblers
