Thus we see that the Jackson party
chartered, in this period, more .han two
banks to the wings one-exactly what
we should expect from legislatures that
acknowledged fealty TO Our federal chief,
in view of the fact, that Under his auspi-
ces, nay, by his direct exhortations, the
states were advised to charter new
banks, and these banks were encouraged
by the same high functionary 10 increase
their business, enlarge their issues, and
convince the people that they no longer
needed the "kind guardianship of Biddle,
Clay, & Co., in currency affairs" For
the truth of the above, ga Farmer" is
referred to Gen. Jackson's official pa
per, the Globe, of 1888.
Accordingly, the state or local banks
we1e increased in a few years of the
Jackson Van Buren, administration, from
$50 TO 1923 in number, and their c%ircula-
ton was swelled from 81 ,000, 900, TO the
enormous sum of l40, 600, 900 of dollars,
giving to property sn apparent porpora
tional increase in value, when the real
fact was, a dimiuution in the value Of
money, or rather, its ragged representa-.
tive.
Now so far as the interest of mere par.
fy is concerned, l care not a straw wheth.

Stunning that the minority in those fiteer
Jackson states are accountable for thu
ruin of the currency by an inflated circu.

ed" i~nsinuation is not well calculated I,
convince me of error.
He seems 10 be aware that it is oftel
vastly easier to say to a man "you ar,
mistaken" than to prove his position un
tenable. l do not say that he is wron,
in implying that the wings cast NOR,
votes for the chartering of banks il
these states than their opponents, and
am quite willing to believe they did, a
soon as he will prove it to be so. Wa

The reader will see upon our first
page an account of a mutiny on board the
U. S. Brig Somers, in which a son of
Mr.. Spencer, the Secretary of War, par
~ticipated, and was, on discovery of the
plot, Immediately hung up to the yard
,rm, together with a number Of others
who were supposed to be the instigators
of the revolt.
That unblushing BLACKBOARD and base
calumniator of private, as well as pub
lie character, Prentice, of the Louisville
Journal, uses the following language in
reference to the affair, which shows him
TO be equally destitute of common sympa-
thy and common prudence.
"Mr. Spencer, the Secretary of War,
is most unfortunate in his sons, One Of
them committed forgery in New-York a
couple of years ago, fled from justice.
and has since been wandering up and
down in the country, a swindler by trade;
and another it appears, has just been
hanged for mutiny and contemplated pi-
racy. Evidently there's scoundrel blood
in the veins of the family. We think,
however, it has only been modified in its
transmission from the parent fountain.
The father is politically what the boys
are morally-a swindler and a pirate.
If the father is unfortunate in his sons
the IONS are equally unfortunate in theil
father"
The editor of the Missouri Republi.
can takes up the note, and very modest.
ly says, that those who believe in the axi
ON that the iniquities of the fathers arr
visited upon their children, seven to tn,
third and fourth generations" will cit,
this case in support of their belief.

To ii, Editor Of The Radical:

To the Editor Of the Radical:
"a Farmer of Pike" has had the good
ness TO point out, as erroneous, some
statements, incidentally made by me, in a
communication which appeared in a late
number of your paper. While this OPP
p~ortunity for correcting error exhibits
the superior value of a neutral over a
partizan newspaper, it admonishes cor
respondents to be cautious what they
write. lest their ignorance, prejudice, or
dishonesty, should be held up to The dis
appreciation, ridicule, or contempt of the
public.
Now i'll have said any thing untrue.
especially Of a party bearing, or that
would have a tendency TO mislead any
of your numerous readers, it is meet
that l should be exposed. But justice at
the same time claims for Inc the plivi-
lege of indicating myself against the
suspicion of intentional misrepresenta-
ton.
Accordingly, l have reviewed the his
%torical facts OH which the exceptionable
remarks were based, and, have also, in
compliance with the suggestions of"A
Farmer Of Pike" to some extent, "inves-
tigated the character Of the several Legis.
laturcs." Now 10 bore your reader.
with references and citations 10 prove no
%torious truths, appears 10 me as useles:
as it was absurd in ga farmer" to deny
them. But as a mere bandying of words
is a most proftless employment, will
your permission l will glance at some o
the evidences from which were deducet
the conclusions at which he demurrs; blu
their correctness / had not the least ex
pectation that any man at all acquainted
with the currency question, would doubt
and these statements were made no
with a view to censure or appreciate thu
measures Of any party-but merely II
exhibit the awkward dilemma in whicl
a professed democrat was involved, b,
proposing 10 exclude from his party, al
who were in favor of a National Bank
which l said, Gin a%llusion othe late one,
had "never faild TO redeem its paper il
SPECIE" while the Banks of Illinois an
Mississippi, that justly claimed Demo
cratic parentage had swindled the commu
l nifty oimillions." Now the wary Farme
was too smart TO deny, specifically, tn
: truth ofthe last allegation, but with III
5 tact Of a politician, changed the issue
and endeavored TO create the impressio
: that the wings, IN general. had cast NOR
? votes in favor of state banking than tn

has assumed.
