INDIANA MONEY.

From the amount of fIndana State Bank pa
per now in circulation, we are led to believe,
that it will fall dead upon the hands of The
people, ere long The people should discounI
ienance it in time.
A writer in the Cincinnati Message. after
stating that il is now 10 per cent, discount,
says:
"How much lower they will fall, nobody
knows. But if It be true, as is stated IN the
street, that the Indiana BaAk has made, and is
making no arrangement whatever, for The re-
demplion Of her notes-if it be true that her
circulation exceeds her cash means of redemp'
:on one million three hundred dollars; we can
not reasonably hope that further decline will
not take place We may well fear, indeed,
that Indiana money will share the iato of Hi
nols money"
This is gloomy enough, but nothing more
than we expected. These State Banks will
be found TO be lha greatest curses that ever
afflicted people, and as the Corwlnes found
all their political movements on a State Bank,
lei the people be awake lime, if they ever ex-
pect better state of things.
Some ofthe Wing papers, we perceive, that
for long time cracked up tue State Bank of
Illinois. as sound, and preparing to resume,
now declare the Directors to be gang of
swim lers! All advocates of suspended banks
are swindlers, in fact, whether they know it or
not.

preciaed paper, and tie times will soon be

costs, with interest, inflicted on Gen. jackson
for doug his duty OF New Orleans. II ever
there was an act Of justice, thus IS one, and
the passage Of III 8 bill will wipe away the
last stain sought TO be inflicted on that warrior

were passed long since on this subject, but as
