A STATE BANK.

One Of the main objections, with the
hard money party, TO establish State
Bank, is that Ohio Stocks are now so
much discredited, and consequently Of SO
little value, that the money could not be
raised 10 start such an institution into
operation. What a deep and humiIat.
ing concession! This, TOO, from The ve'
ry men who have had control of the
State Government, and are the very men
who have inflicted the deep and lasting
injury Of which they complain.
Let the people rise and shake off the
hard money destructives, the rePealers
and repudiators, and show to the world,
that we intend to adopt some safe and
settled system Of State policy-this done,
and Ohio stocks would rise in one day,
to be worth dollar for dollar. Who
could expect the bonds of any State or
individual to sell at par, when they re
