IFThe AIerandyta Gazette quotes, in q late
number, with infinite pleasure, the article from
the Richmond Enquirer which laid Mr.. Tyler
so unceremoniously on the shelf. He puts forth
long article written in rhapsody OF delight
We congratulate our neighbor this opporiuni-
W TO rejoice, furnished him by the Enquirer.
We would, however. whisper in his ear that,
although we readily admit the vast influence Of
the Enquirer over the public sentiment OF Viz
GINA, yet the People in this country are su-
preme, and that they sometimes take it into their
heads 10 regulate matters after their own notion,
even in opposition to the opinions of all the edi-
tors combined. We have also been informed,
by correspondent from Virginia, that it is mol
the first time that the Enquirer has been in OPP
position to Mr.. Tyler and thought but little bet
ter of his prospects, and yet Mr.. Tyler succeed
ed not only over the heads Of the editors, but the
leading politicians combined. We admit that it
is hard task to do so, and that II requires great
popularity. Whether it will be so in future,
time only can determine but this we feel our
selves at full liberty to say, that no man feels
more perfectly Indifferent about il than Mr. Ty-
Ter. His desire is, we seriously believe, TO
see the true principles Of Republicanism take
deep and lasting root. That being done, the
Peoples choice for the succession will be his
choice. We believe that his election is promi-
nently connected with the best interests Of the
country and the perpetuation of sound Republi-
can principles, and therefore we shall continue
to advocate his election. Nay, further-wt
firmly believe that his success, ii taken up by
the Democracy, is certain, while that of every
o her person named for the Presidency is doubt
full and uncertain. The People will weigh these
things, and their decision, we have no doubt
will be founded in wisdom

THE STATE BANKS.

I'VE copy from the Democratic Unions an
sr,icle OF ,he individual liability Of the stock
holders Of Banks, which is deserving Of all
consideration The principle Of individual
responsibility has been adopted,by several
of Ihe states, and SO far as we can learn; IN
slI cases, with decided beneficial results. -
The last state tina, has acted on the subject
is New Hampshire; and we join with the
Union in expressing the hope that Penna'
will follow SO good a lead; and not only
Pennsylvania, bus all The other states oil the
Union
Nor is this all that onght to be done 10
pfeyent the Banks from again running riot
and involving themselves and the country
jo one common ruin Among the many re
forms that are requred,a system Of the most
rigid accountability should be created 10 pre-
vent all their officers or directors from mis-
applying or wasting the funds, or appropri
aling them to their own use; and the best
plan 10 prevent these evils would be 10
abolish all secrecy in the conduct OF affairs;
a, least SO far as that any Of the s,ockhold
ers might al all times know what is going
on in the institution.
For ourselves, we think the public al;
large have full light 10 know, as well as
the stockholders, the nature Of the security
they have for the notes they are every day
obliged 10 take So long as the bank issue
currency. so long ough, they TO be con
sidered public institutions, and open to the
examination of the public Ii the veil Of
secrecy had bsen Withdrawn several years
ago from their proceedings, what loss and
suffering would have been prevented or
avoided!
Now 10 the best time 10 investigate and
regulate the whole system There is calm
favorable 10 the formation of right judgment
The stockholders--lhe real owners OF the
banks have found ou, by their losses that
the system has been all wIoDg,and they
will give their aid now 10 reform That
which they opposed few years ago as
destructive of their interests, they would
now accep. as their best protection The
directors aud officers of some Of these in
sdiuiions might oppose measures calculated
10 limi, their privileges, hut they are now
too weak 10 bribe or lEtimida,e the Legisla
iure; before they grow strong again, lei the
chains be pu. upon them, tina. will forever
preven! them from again going mad, and
infcling deep wounds, first upon the peo
pie and then upon themselves. .--Pennsyi
