| circumstances, the wants and demands OF society
change-but Banks enjoy perennial corruption,
unchangng, and with Wings unchangeable- -
Banks have been shown to be polluted; ready and
efficient to set the laws at defiance capable
through their managers to destroy all wholesome
credit, and powerful to affect the purity of eec-
tions, yet the Wing Legislature so far from add
ing checks and safeguards have taken away those
already imposed AS there is, therefore, no hope
for sound system of banking in this State, (and
we believe as little elsewhere throughout the
Union,) this journal will be devoted to the RE-
PEAL of the present iniqutous law, and the do
ing away with these institutions altogether.
Observing that to sell in the dearest and buy in
the cheapest market is the simple wisdom of ev-
cry day life, what is sense as between individuals
we believe will seldom be found folly if applied
in the intercourse of States. Trammels on tradea
have ever been the mark of despotism, which
whether it seeks to foster or crush, alike w;hers
present state of our currency regulations are but
deception, in SO far as they are depended on for
stable protection. England, France, and Germs-
ny have their currencies fixed upon an enlarged
specie basis, and when our paper currency is in
fated beyond oil reasonable bounds, (no uncom-
mon thing by the way) they flood us with their
manu- factures, sold on credit at our high prices,

without the essential modification or repeal of the
present unequal and unjust law which taxes the
Ohio Farmer to benefit the Eastern manufacturer
while it affords no advantages in return.

song, cider and siness are the weapons of the
contest, it is indeed curse.
To conclude, this journal will in all things be
en- organ of the Democracy, advocating Equal
Political Rights, and opposing Special Privileges

Of the people of this county and district local
as well as general questions will be faithfully
expressed. At the same time reserve to myself
the right of independent comment upon any and
every question that may arise
The usual amount of agricultural, literary, and
scientific matter will be carefully selected, and
every effort consistent with limited means, tax en-
to render the 90 Venture" useful and interesting.
