S WINDLING.

Free banking, we believe, is allowed all over
the world, except in this Union, and within GO
miles of London. This latter restriction, in and
about London, has been imposed within four
or five years past. The competition of private
banks begets honesty in their dealings, for, as in
all other trades, the honest bankers get the Gus
tom of the public in preference to the dishonest
ones. "Honesty is the best policy" is a
maxim no less true in free banking than in other
occupations-not with corporate banks hav
ing exclusive privileges. They have no COM
petition TO dread, and with them dishonesty is
the best policy. Besides, they can swindle
more successfully, because it is far more diff
cult for the People to ascertain the ability of
corporation TO pay its debts than that of pri-
vate banker. 4 priori reasoning teaches us
that free banking promotes integrity in trade
Experience leaves no doubt Of the proposition,
though free banking, we admit, to be liable to
much abuse. We were a more honest people
before we introduced our monopoly system of
banking than we have ever been since We
are now the only People who have restraining
laws, and we certainly do our part in swindling
on The grand scale, and all This spindiing pro-
ceeds directly from our BANKING system.

From the Charleston IS. c. Patriot.

From the tone and temper of the ultra journals it
would appear as If the Boundary treaty stood very
little chance of confirmation by the Senate. The
New York Courier and Enquirer, of the journals
the most high III the confidence Of the Wings or ultra
section of that party leads off in this opposition be-
tween which and other prints, no less popular with
the ultra Democrats, there to be sudden and
unlocked for sympathy. The Courier and Inquirer
would nseparably blend in the same negotiation the
Right of Search and the Creole case with the Boun-
dairy question, and insists settling by treaty all
these points in dispute, none. This would indeed
complicate negotiation already sufficiently intricate
without these adjuncts.
The whole purpose and motive of the opposition
is factious. II has lis in the wish to deprive
the Administration of the credit of settlement of
the boundary question The People will not tolerate
this factious d sign. We are very much deceived If
popular Indignation does not follow the authors and
abcttors of it, should they succeed in defeating the
final arrangement of dispute of upwards Of fifty
years standing 1t is the duty of the press to check
IN advance, this unprincped purpose of party-to
arouse the people to of the danger to the
peace of the Union in keeping open this dangerous
question of boundary.
Demagogues on both sides may make their appeals
to false sentiment of national honor, but there is
point of honor involved. 1t is simply question Of
eauvalents-of dollars and cents for territory. If
there has been point of honor involved there has
been full concession on the part OF England. She
offers to purchase, which is an implied admission of
the right the territory being IN the State of Maine
What the most tastdious delicacy-the
most scrupulous honor IN public affairs demand We
trust therefore, that the signs given out by the press
on this subject, will not prove significant of public
sentiment but merely of the insane desperation of
few factious spiritstha the sound thinking portion
of both parties will rally to the support Of the Admin
istraton which, it is admitted, all hands, have adj
mnstered the foreign concerns OF the Union with
singular ability and just regard to the National no.

LATEST NORTH CAROLINA AND
MR. MANGUJM

There is strange news in town from North
Carolin I, aud news which, ii seems, VIII not
be likely to please Mr.. Senator Mangum more
thaa it evidently does the editors of the lnte.ll-
gencer--ulias the suppressing paper. II APP
pears, that as far as heard FROM the Democrats
have gained twelve or thirteen members, and
from partial returns from other quarters OF the
State, it is rendered nearly certain that the De
mocrats will have a large majority IN both
branches of the State Leg slature. We have
good reason to believe that this news was duly
received on Sunday evening, at the office OF the
Intelligencer, vet that paper, with It's usual pro-
pensity to conceal evil, withheld from the pub
lie gaze information disastrous to the pros
poets of Mr. Clay and Mr.. Mangum Ii we
mistake not, both Senator Mangum and Senator
Graham fill places vacated by designations upon
instructons and as instructions are pretty sure
to come now to both these gentlemen, accord
iny to the acknowledged right and constant Gus
tom both will be compelled to resign. Alas,
alas, why was Mr. Bolts so tardy in his inn
parchment The honorable Willie can now
never be President OF the United States by i'm
parchment This honor is denied him-his
occupation is gone.
One of the editors of the Integencer has a
brother editing paper at Raleigh, the seat OF
Government Of North Carolina, yet the Intelli-
gencer gives not word of the news. 1t has
passed that over, as 1t passes over all the hard
hits against the majority Of Congress AS the
reporter is unable to hear, in consequence OF the
great confusion, so probably the editors of the
Intehgencer were unable to read their brothers
letter in consequence of the tears they shed on
perusng the first line, which, doubtless, con-
tanned the pith of the whole matter.
1t would have been much more german to
the case, however, had the Intelligencer simply
contained the oft-repeated note OF their Con-
gressional reporter or something like this -
lowing to much confusion in our office. and
rather obtuscated vision, the news from North
Carolina never reached our compositors."

AND NEW BOOKS

A resolution remarkably conducive to the
cause of relrenchment, was passed yesterday in
the House. Itretrenches the amount of IN onev
in the treasury of the People, TO increase the
peculium Of some Congressional favorite to thu
amount OF forty or fifty thousand dollars. The
members obtain finely printed and bound books
either 10 read or to sel--lhe seller pockets re-
spectacle profits, and the people are taxed for
the payment. Mr. Messenger-retre nchment
Summers, we understand, voted for the resou-
ton. To use his favorite sentence, this is saw

hole. That Mr.. Summers is jealous for re.
trenchment, is, in the eloquent language of the

The Wings have already gained six members
The Loco-F Foco majority in the last House of Re-
presentatives was eight-se the Wing gain has
already been suifcient to overcome that. Unless
there has been some unexpected falling off among
the Wings somewhere we shall have both branches
of the Legislature by decisive majorites This
secures US the United States Senator, and what is
fully as important, the power of dividing the State
into Congressional Districts.
T You will see thet there is difference in
some Counties in the number of members elected
this year and last. You will understand that this
difference is caused by the change which takes
place each year in the apportionnent OF The mem.
bers to the several Counties.

turns received in that city, lit does not publish

Extra ahoat from Chapman, Of Indianapolis, with
a very large bird at the head, which states that
Marion has elected two Loeos instead OF two
Wings, (by bare majority Of course,) and that
the Locos have gained Senator in Johnson, in
Hamilton and Boone, and one in Tippecanoe, and
that Johnson a. Fountain (2,) Tippccanoe (20
