May not letters also be carried SO cheaply as TO
tempt the public to do itself mischief ltsuPPoses'
mistakenly, that the Josephs, Hermanns' ano u
S Bank, crippled themselves BY aHording Excnsnge
at TOO low rate. The real consisted in buy
ing bills of Exchange-shat is, lending money on
pror,i.e.-vh;ch were never paid Exchange and
Disconn,, are very different things, though often
blended in one transaction.
The Post endeavors 10 frighten itselfwith hor-
,;bIe picture Of the naughty things which National
sBaak might or would do, butas these are us bare bare

forced into the arena of Politics, and the first to

Political efficiency, are worth thousand OF them
any day.
| ~7oCsThe Evening Post, with all its Pretensions
10 rigid Democracy and its sanetmonious horror
Of the rule of the few over the many, deliberately
ltapprovedy yesterday and labored 4ts justify the
Course ofsthe Loco-Foco minority of the Legisia
| sure of Tennessee representing decided minority
of the People, in saying to the majority, :" we
= will not permit an election oftwo U. S. Senators
. after the manner uniformly pursued hitherto IN
q this State through unbroken series OF fifty
".years for that would enable you, the majority,
g to choose Senators who Of the majority; but
YOU shall consent to choose by concurrent vote
gsssuchs Senators as we shall select, one from each
I7sparty, or the State shall 60 unrepresented in the
sqsC: S. Senate" This il the course pursued,
persisted inby,the Posts party in Tennessee, even
10 the breaking up Of Joint Meeting which =
majority of each branch had appointed and this
$ the course fully endorsed and justified by the
Post! There is no whited sepuchre' in the land
80 full of dead mems bones and all uncleanness,
as this scheat that vaunt. itself the Democratic
party
l. SGEoRe1A.-The contest for q U. S. Senator in
he Loco.Foco Legislature of this State is most
laarnest; several Caacuses have been held without
arriving at any decision. The candidates, at our
last sdyices, were reduced to M. H. McAllister Of
-Savannah-who, we believe, is New-Hampshre
nan by birth, able, intelligent, and (ike most en-
grants from New-Hampshire) very clever fel-
low though Loco-F oco Hon. and Rev. Walter
! f. Colquitt. Methodist preacher, once Wing
and now Loco-Foco Member of Congress, from
Columbus; and Alfred Iverson, also of Columbus,
Judge and once at least candidate for Congress.
Iverson and McAllister have always been for Jack
son and Van Buren,. Colquitt is of course Cal
noun man; we suspect his rivals are for Van Bu-
rem McAllister will be most sensible and least
Ultra of the three, and we hope he will be elect
ed; though The fact that he is from the same city
with Mr. Berrien, who has four years yet to serve,
will operate against him.
The Wing Members of the Legislature have had
4 meeting and very properly resolved not to med
lie in the selection Of Senator, by assisting mi.
nority of opponents to overbear majority, but to
oame true, consistent Wing, and cast their votes
for him. Charles ]. jenkins of Augusta is their
candidate.
p Mr.. Smith of Bbb County (Loce) has submitted
| 10 the House plan for dividing the State into
Congressional Districts, which, though as Loco
Coco as can be, will not be objected to by the
Wigs if" the party choose to sustain it. If
rhey determine not TO District the State, we pre-
*ume it will be Dstricted by Congress at the ap-
proaching Session.
20 We saw yesterday private letter from a
Loco-Foco in Kentucky, boasting that his party
5y flaming local jealousy in that State, would be
,ble to defeat the reelection of JOHN j. CR1rTEN
DEN and send an sAnti-Clay Wing to the U. S.
Senate. The Anti-Clay is impossible, but we
| perceive that Loco. Focosm is determined to set
npa shout of triumph if any body but Mr.. Critten-
I len should be elected, The fact that Messrs Crit
senden and Morehead, the present Senators, both
live in Frankforris made the ground of opposition
20 MrsC s reelection, as it is claimed that one
| Senatof should come from the South Of Green
River. 1--WE believe that, after Henry CLAY, no
<kentuckian enjoys nuch of the admiration and
confidence of the Wings of the Union as John J.
-Crt,enden, though that State has given many be-
3ssoveds and honored Statesmen to the National
lasCouncis.
Us. Edoard Brosks, the WMg Collector of
!, Customs at Detroit, has turned ou, MATHEW
,GooplNG, ons of his Inspectors, for voting the
4 Nhis ticket at the late Election, contrary to the
syishes and interests of Capt. Tyler. 1t is good
beal like this all over. Mr. Brooks will yet btter!
