THE BANKS.

II appears that some of the Loco Foco
prints are becoming weary Of the course OF
odr State banks and predict that if no,
abandoned will destroy public liberty, or
end in their own deslruction-ho their
destruction is TO be accomplished VIC are
left to surmsc-and we know Of no way
but the resort that was adopted in Cincin-
natl, one has gone SO far as TO say that
mob iaD ought 10 be resorted to # nothing
eise ~iH debut we hope the good sense
of our people will never lead them to com.
NIT such an act. Ii is true that our banks
do not discount at this time, and their rea-
son for II Is, that as they do not redeem
their notes IN specie they will mol loan any
out, bat they are solvent and their notes
pays our debts. And the conduct Of the
banks Of orr State, as far as we have heard
or know, is very far from showing any
disposition TO distress the people or to get
their property into their own hands. We
know that every indulgence has been CIV
en- by the State Bank and we presume The
other institutions are equally as lenlcnt.
II will do very well for eleotioneerng CAPT
tai TO try and create a Jealousy between
the laboiiae classes and those who do not
work--or he rich against The poor, but
thanks to the better ludgmen, Of our peo-
pie they are not TO be led 10 resort 10 force
by such reasoning. One would suppose
that if the Loco focos had the control Of
the Legislatures they would make the
banks resume or wind up, spch is not the
case for ia several States where they have
the ascendancy they did not attempt it and
IN others again they only partially tired to
compel them TO resume. 1t is easy to
talk but rather hard 10 practice.

on as an "electionecring weapon" seems
10 be toe amount expended in giving de-
cent burial to the President of the United
States, it is we'll perhaps to mention fact

to the funeral expenses Of Gen. Harrison,
! the motion was strcnuously resisted by
Mr.. llybart, who commended That It was not
so much the amount expended that he con-
sidcred objectionable, as it was the estab-
