JACKSONVILLE BANK.-We wage OPEN war
against the whole system of putting up the notes OF
some distant Bank here, advertising to redeem
them at small discount, and pushing them in
to circulation 1t is not safe; it is oppressive to
our workingmen in its shaving feature it is
generally dishonest We war not on individuals;
but on perniclous and dangerous system OF loose
specializing, mscaled Banking, by which our citi-
zens have been bled too long ana too freely Ike
following facts in relation to the hocus-pocus re-
demption of the bills of the Jacksonville Bank u
Florida, by its reputed owner here Mr.. Beach OF
the Sun newspaper and Ulster Manufacturers
Bank, are deserving of every mans consideration:
An acquaintance OF ours called at the office OF
the Sun day last week with bills to the amount
of ten dollars on the Jacksonville Bank which Mr..
Beach had advertised to redeem at ] per cent
discount. On presenting the bills, Beach appeared
TO be surprised, and, after some hesitation, said
that he thought these bills must be part of abou,
$40 ZOO that were stolen from the Bank that he
could not redeem them, but, upon the whole, was
willing to give fifty cents on the dollar for them,
and would give the ofercr the privilege OF taking
them up again at any time, if the person thought
he could do better with them. This proposition
was accepted. A day two afterwards ne saw
several advertisements in the Sun, stating that
goods woulds be given for Jacksonville money at
par. He concluded that this would be better to
him than FIFTY cents on the dollar in money, and
nd tod
cording to Beach, own proposal, 10 return the FIVE
dollars and take up his Jacksonville bills. Beach
denied any knOpleage Of The transaction, and
said he knew nothing about ii. After some words
them back in case they were called for on the
same day.
We publish the above in order to caution the
public not to put much faith in the advertise
ments from that source concerning the redemption
OF bills. The person who made the above state
ment MIR. Blanchard, Nassau-street, near John, J
we have personally known for some years He is
an Industrious, Woodworking, honest and intelli.
gent man, and his statemeu, may be fuy relied on.

several attempts had been made and he compares that
