admirably the evils of The Banking sys-
tenn, one hundred years since, 10 another

incendlary system OF making rag money
The bank directors, who in the days of

and phaeons, drawn by horses richly ca.
parisoned, have either fled to Texas, or
washed of their sins in the Bethesda of

however, still at home, overseeing the
plantations Of their wives, and luxuriating
in the franchises, dignities, and ndepen-
dence, which uppertains to the interesting
situation:
