THE BANKING LAW.

The whig papers, from one end Of the
State to the other, before they have even
read the new banking law, pronounce it
and a "humbug." This
will not appear strange, whsE we recOl'
lect that the iederalists in and out Of the
Legislature, have opposed every banking
plan that has been brought forward this
winter. Even the ''litlle bank biIl," de-
signed 10 keep the expiring banks in ex.
istence until new system could be a.
dOpted, was opposed by them, and lost
by their uniting with a few democrats,
who we're opposed TO all banks, 1t is
not strange that after they have endeav.
Ored to prevent The passage Ofany banks
ing system by the present Legislature,
they should endeavOI to defeat the Op-
Grafton Ofa system ate its passage. They
would now fain persuade bankers that
the provisions Of this law are unjustly rig.
Orous; and the people, that It is impTaC>
able; and if they should thus prevent its
operation and gain the ascendency in the
next Legislature, they will have accom-
plishsd their object Although they say
much about the "distress Of the people" }"
they desire not relief, unless it be afOr.
ded by their own party.

of that country is covered-Tlis age about forty;
in stature tall, over six feet, and well formed, with
great muscular power; light complexion and brown
hair. The people named him 'Bill' He was active
and industrious, disposed to be orderly and peacea-
BILE. unless rritated during his occasional fits Of mad
ness, when he preferred solitude and moody silence.
Ills head and countenance, as well as his
saton and elegant chirography, denoted much intel
ectual power. lie was placed in the Aims House.
Whence he came or where he belonged he would
never tell, and all the efforts 10 find proved futile.
Ho would often speak Of tho Hudson River, its ge
ography and the localities upon its border After be-
ing three yours in the Aims House ut Ogdensbursh,
last May the Superintendent signfed his intention of
taking Bill the southeastern part Of the State, TO
find out his friends, but Bill heard the pro-
position than he fled to the woods. Search made
for him, and, although often seen, he cluded his pur
sucrs, and the search was abandoned. On The sec.
ond of August ult., two hunters came upon his
corpse, in the centre of Forest three days journey

struc,ed bed of leaves with his arms folded upon his
Breast his feet 10 the East and his head to the West
laid out with such precision and order to convince
the spectators that had resumed her throne be-
fore he died, and tina, he had become conscious OF
the momentious change about to take place. The
Coroner of Ogdensburgh, DR.. Clark, had the remains
properly inferred, and wooden slab with suitable
inscription, erected,
