t0ise political movement, inasmuch as it contrbu-
ted powerfully to the general apparent prosperity,
and therefore to the popularity of the dominant
party. The expansions of the old banks, by maxi
ing money plenty, gave the means of establishing
the new banks, not however, with actual capital,
but with credits"

the ABOVE extract is made, traces the revulsons

struction OF the currency, which took place in
1857, 10 the undue extension and expansion of
bank capital and credits, which is here attributed
to the advice of Gen. Jackson when he remoyea
the dcpositcs.

necessity OF returning 10 specie payments became
apparent, that event could be prepared for ony

LOCOFOCO MISRULE-BANKS-
MERGE

The New York Republic is the advocate of
Free Trade and of immediate Annexation, and it
49, therefore, to be presumed, that its political
sympa,hies are with Messrs. Polk and Dallas. If
such be the fact the following paragraph must be
regarded as sly hit at the financial policy of Gen
jackson but, whether sly or open, it is unques-
tionably good hit. The Republic says:
"The progress Of banking, in each great divi-
sion of the Union, is seen in the following table

ANOTHER REspiTE-By yesterdays mail, the
United States District Attorney received lelter
of instructions from The Secretary OF State, grant
ing respite until the 18th of August 10 Joseph
Brown and John Mcdaniel, who ere 10 be exc
cuted this day, for the murder Of CLAWS, the
Santa Fe trader. The respite it appears, was
granted on the affidavit of Grin p. Rockwell, the
Mormon, who, it was alleged, attempted 10 as>as-
sinate Governor Boggs, sumo years ago. and on
recent publication IN The "Transcrpl,' in " lfch
it was alleged that public feeling was turning
favor of the prisoner. The sources OF inf ,rma
ton, it strikes us, rather unusual foundat ons
Tor the action of officer of the governm, Mt in
his official capacity.
The letter of instruction states explicitly that
this respite must not be taken as any evidence of
an intention, or disposition, on the part of the
Executive fl. ally to pardon them.
N ght before last, Brown made profession of
religion according TO the forms of The Methodist
persuasion. Mcdaniel is said to be seriously
affected, and it was thought he would have made
similar profession last night, if The news of The
respite had not reached him. The galows was
erected, and all the preparations made for their
execution this day-SL Louis Repub JUN IL.

of increase from 163Oto ls40, but the number in
that State at the former period was so nconsder-
able, that to double, treble, or quadrupe il, only
required the arrival of few boat loads Of emf
grants from Buffalo. In 1880, Michigan contain
ed about $4,000 souls; in l54O, $4,000: show
ing an increase Of seven-fo!d. But it would be
very wide of the mark to suppose that, in 1850,
the 2l2,OO0 will be seven times multiplied. The
probability is that. in 1850, the increase will not
exceed two.fold. This law Of increase is exenl-
pllfied in the censuses Of Ohio as well as other
States and it is accounted for by the fact, that
given number of Immigrants will affect the ratio
of increase in small community much more than
in large one. For this reason, the calculations
made by Alison and others, in reference to the
increase population in the United States in the
next fifty or one hundred years, are very faacious
and very exaggerated
The population of Illinois, in 1880, was about
$4,000, and, in 1910, it amounted to within
fraction of half million-showing more than
threshold increase in ten years, which, we believe,
is the greatest ratio which any State of equal
numbers has ever exhibited.
LUG vi comparing VIC Aoto VI AL
crease exhibited by small population with that
which is seen in larger communities. may be ex-
| emplfed in the cases of Michigan and Ohio
The increase of Ohio, from 1880 to 1910, was
greater in the aggregate than that Of any State in
the Union, and excited the wonder of the world
In 1880, the population amounted to between
$4,000 and 100000; in 1910, it amounted to
100000: exhibiting an increase of near 100000,
and yet the ratio was less than one while that
of Michigan was, as shown above, seUen.
1t is estimated that fifty thousand per annum
yearly added to the population of Illinois, at
which rate she will number million in 1850. A
great inducement to immigrants will be held out
blythe large expenditure which will now be made
upon the canal ); and its completion, by facilitating
trade and commerce, cannot fail to conduce to the
same end.

1nese elghIeen parishes compose the entire
district, and it will be seen, that according to the
reports, Morse has been elected by majority of
TWO VOTES! We do not yet surrender Boz

teddy, has given SO large majority against him.
Most of the returns are authentic, but from some
Of the parishes, VermiUion, Union, Sabine, and
Claiborne, for instance, they are mere reports,
and that too, in round numbers. Detailed state
ments of the result in those parishes may mate
rally alter the case, as it now appears. AT all
events, and under all circumstances, we shall
cling to the hope that BoRDELoN is elected, until
the official returns come to hand.
We claim the result in the Fourth district an
a wing victory, whether Morse or Bordeon has
been elected by majority of a dozen votes.
That district last July gave Gen. Bossier, locofo-
co, five hundred majority. We have annihilated
that majority, and that is "glory enough for one
day."
THE LEGISLATURE.
The Senate, "a is already understood, consists
of nine lncoiocos and eight wings Morse's re-
signation, If he has been elected Ia Congress, will
certainly give US majority in that body, as the
district winch he represents in the Senate has
just given whg majority Of $50 votes.
To The House, it is positively established that
the wings nave elected THIRTY. -FOUR, giving
Us eight majority in that body. Torture facts as
they may, the locofocos cannot change this result
CONVENTION.
THIRTY-EIGHTw hig-, FIVE conservatives
and TEIRTY-FOURl ocofocos are elected to the
convention, according to present appearances. Of
the ocofocos elected, probably ten or twelve,
maintain strong conservative principles. 1t will
be discovered, therefore, that radical locofocoism
has received a shock from which it will not
speedily recover. We have the strongest as
surance, in the political complexion Of The con-
vention, that the constitution of the Stale will be
remodelled upon sound and purely republican
basis.
