The Washington "Whig Standard admits that
"public confidence is now restored" "That
trade has now revived"
During the Coonskin campaign, the Wings in.
sisted upon having Bank, to restore confidence
and reviue trade. Then, trade was depressed in
consequence of the winding up and explosion Of
the United States Bank; and the Democrats told
the people to wait until the last agency of this OK.
pirng "monster" was over, when trade would re-.
vive and confidence be restored.
Trade has revived, and confidence is restored,
did the departed Bank cause this revival!
Nov that :rade has revived, and confidence is
restored, for what purpose do the Wings want a
Back? Will the election of Mr.. Clay change
things; il 90, do not want depression Of trade,
nor loss of public confidence; therefore Mr. Clay
is not our man, nor the Wings our party.

n Mail Stage Aeeident.-Last Monday, a. the
Eastern Mail Stnge, WINS crossing Big Mulberry,
on its route eastward, in attempting to ford the
stream, being too light, it foated and was washed
off of the ford. The horses were saved with some
difficulty; but the stage was broken to pieces and
is now lying in heap Of drift-weod.' The mail
bags were lost; but only FIVE or six letters were in
it, which were mailed at Pleasant Hill.
The driver was badly injured. From all we
can learn no blame can be attached to the driver,
but it is strange and crying shame that ferry
fiat is not kept at this stream on the principal Mail
rouet in the State.
