STOCKHOLDERS CANDIDA SO
The near approach Of the election renders
/, the duty Of Tho voter to scan closely the.
altitude which those occupy, who ask MS
supporlror political stations. It is lac
worthy Of remark, that whilst the anti bond
men proclaim the Union Bank fraudulent
concern, and the bonds which gave II capital
void, they bring forward upon their tickets

our purpose to discuss the question whether
or moi the stockholders are liable, upon heir
subscriptions, for portion the bonds sold
We simply remark that The oPiuion thai
hey are thus liable, finds advocates among
some OF the fire, legal men Of the State. To
say the eas. Of the matter, it is an undeter-
mined point. Whilst this is the Case, the
propriety of e!ecling men to the Legislature
thus crcumstanced, where they may be
called upon 10 legsla,e with reference to
the Union Bank, is questioned by nany. The
Jaw Of the land in its Wisdom, w,,nau,s s,,.-
pugning the integrity of the Judge or Juror,
relieves him frem the delicate task of sitting
in judgement upon matter, where he may
be in the slightest possible degree interts>

Our object is simply TO notice The strange
Ipredicament in which hese gentlemen place
themselves, when they stand forth the ad.-
vocates Ct .epudias;ng the payment Of The
bonds. Ii is somewhat remarkable thar
they should have permitted three years 70
pass away, before they took this position
Why were not their patriotic voices heard
in defence of the constitution sooner One
Of them (Mr. Roberts) was membe, of the
Legislature when the pretended breach in
that instrument was made, anu voted him
self for the supplemental charter. If the
execution and sale of the bonds was so fla,
GRAVITY Illegal, why did they not bring the
matter before The people in the canvass Of
1892 That was an appropriate occasion
to look into the legality of what had been
done, whilst the facts were fresh in the
memories Of all, and when those who had
done the deed were presenting themselves
for reelection. Then Gf every was the
proper time 10 raise the question of the va.

been set aside The purchasers would have
been protected in great measurefrom loss,
since The very fac! Of attacking the legality
Of the transaction would have stopped the
payment Of the instalments due in the for
mer part Of that year, and prevented hat
already received from being squandered
Why then instead Of aiding to re-eIec, Gov

publicly avowed the doctrine thatlhe State

MoTHERIY LovE.-Last among the character
stics of woman is that sweet motherly love with
which nature has gifted her; il is almost indS-
pendent of cold reason, and wholly removed from

living part of herself-the child of her heart, a
fraction Of her own nature. In every uncoTrupt-
ed nation Of the earth this feeling is the same
Climate which changes every thing else, changes
not that. 1t is only the most corrupting forms Of
society which have power gradually to make lux
urious vice sweetcr than the tender cares and tolls
Of maternal love. In Greenland, where the elm

nouTishes her child up to the third or fourth year
of its life. She endures from him all the nascen,

strength when her child is attacked BY savaRes
We read with astonished admiration the examples
of her matchless courage and contempt Of danger

Is q WelpSDlDN'.

As a weekly newspaper, Il is believed that the
I" UNITED STATES SATURDAY POST'' is
not equaled by any weekly literary paper now
existing. It contains full and we'll digested ac-
count Of every matter Of news up to the hour Of
printing. This is a great desideratum to those
who take only single weekly paper, and which
means less extensive than those connected with
the establishment cannot accomplish. The num-
Der Of persons employed, and the steam-power
engaged in the publication Of his paper, altogeth-
er surpasses that Of any other Of similar char
acter.
s9In sholt, the UNITED STATES SATURDAY
POST is considered in all respects equal, if not
superior, to any Of its class, while in price il
far cheaper. Instead Of three dollars year, which
is the price Of the two mammoth newspapers Of
New York, and the two Of Boston, the subscrip-
ton of the NUNITED STATES SATURDAY
POST" is only Two Dollars q year, per
single copy. GEO. r. GRAHAM g. CO.
