IL 10 conceded that the undue imitation Of
the Banking system, more than any one
cause, has tended 10 the existing deranee
ment Of the currency and embarrassment,
OF the country; and the question naturally
arises, uho dld it, Look to the facts:
In 1880 there we're 10 the L. States 800
banks, with an aggregate capital of SI45,.
100000, On round numbers.) In 1899
the Bank bill vas vetoed, and in 1888, the
deposites were removed. In 1885, the
number OF banks had increased TO 55s, with
an aggregate capital Of 1891 ,O00, 900; and
IN December, 1887, they had still further
augmented to 100 IN number, with an az
gregate capital Of $4,000, 600. Nop,
,oho did Il? The Wings are called the
Bank party-the paper money party
And yet i. turns out that five States, which,
were then under Loco Foco control, 10 vii.
Maine, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Mississip.
pI and Missouri, during the period of sew
en- years, increased their number of Banks
from % to l20, and their aggregate capi
from l73 millions TO l04l millions of dol.
lars; being an addition Of upwards Of SlOJ,.
OOO,OOO to the Banking capital of the
counlry-nearly one half Of the whole in
crease of banking capital IN the Union dur.
ing that period Why, if the other States
had initiated these loco Foco Anti. Bank
folks, the increased banking capital would
not have been less, in that period, than
tive hundred millions Of dollars And

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

Atll o'clock Monday 10Th instant, the
Delegates assembled in the Hall Of tho
House of Commons, and were organized
b. Inc appointment of Thomas l.. iiybari,
as Chairman, and Thomas Loring as Sc
cretary. A resolution was adopted, that
all the Delegates enrol their names aud
Counties at the Clerks table-and il ap-
peared that there were ninety nine mem
bers present, about one-half OF whom were
from the county Of Wake. Some ten or
twelve others afterwards appeared. After
proceeding some time with enrolling
names aud counties, motion was made TO
reconsider the Resolution, on the ground
that as their proceedings would go forth to
de country, it would not do well TO have
it appear that so few counties were repre-
scented. But it was finally concluded, by
vote of 81 TO %, to lay all the blame on
bad roads and Indictment weather, and the
enrolling proceeded. We have no means
of ascertaming the precise number of
counties represented, as the names Of Dele
gates were not read aloud, but there are
probably twelve or fifteen POSSIBLY TWEEN
ity) counties.
In accordance with resolution passed
TO that effect, Henry Fits, Of Warren was
then chosen President OF the Convention,
/ DIR. Watson of Wake, and Gen. Graves
of Caswell, Vice Presidents; aud -
Sattertield and James l.. Smith, SecreIa.
ries. On taking his place as Presideat,
Mr.. Fits took occasion 10 deliver d whole
sale dsnuncialion oil the whole Wing par
1 ", without, further than this, particularly
explaining the objects OF the Convention.
A Resolution was adopted inviting the
Hon. Robert Strange and Hon. Weldon
r. Edwards now in this city, to take seats
in tho Convention also that all other
members Of the Democratic party in the
city, not citizens Of the county OF Wake,
be invited 70 take seats a. members Of the
Conycalion.
Col. Wheeler moved that a Committee
Of twenty six members be appointed By
the President TO report to the ConInit'ee
the whole business To be done, &C., which
was adopted aid the names Of the gentle
men composing the Committee afterwards
read by one OF the clerks, but in so inds.
tinct manner, as not to be Understood.
/ The rules and orders Of the House Of
Commons Of the Legislature were adopted
for the Government of the Convention, and
after appointing John Harrison, door.keep.
er and Green Hill assistant, the Conyen,
lion adjourned 10 O'Clock, p. NJ.
+ We have no room for comment to-day
but the best friends of the cause must ad
NIT that the whole affair is a faiiure-a

lated TO displnt all concerned.
