The wings and the Banks.

The wings seem to be rejoicing with ex.
ceeding great joy at having succeeded in es.
tablishing some dozen and half shaving
shops under the law Of last winter. For our
selves we never entertained the slightest
doubt that these money lenders would inyes,
their capital in banking SO soon as they should
be enabled to do so without being ma De re-
sponsible for the consequences attendant upon
the acts of fraud and villainy which may be
\ committed by these institutions. For years
lave they contended earnestly for this power;
and now having obtained 1t, who doubted that
they would embrace the favorable opportunity
of gaining wealth though it might be at the
sacrifice of the interests of the whole State?
We are told by the advocates of this system
that these banks are perfectly safe and that
the bill'holder is perfectly secure. If it be Sc,
why were they opposed to having the safe
guard Of individual liability incorporated in
this law? why did these bank bought wings |
In the last Legislature vote down every props
osition for the better security of the bill-hold-
er? Why was the amendment requiring the
banks to keeps certain per centum of specie
in their vaults rejected! We remember-and
It Is but few years since--when these same
wings were the strenuous advocates of the
Did banking system; and they then told US
that they Were safe if the democrats would
cease harplng upon the SUBJECT OF "Bank

had declared War against the United

their march to the Texas frontier. Our
latest previous dates from Tobasco
came through New Orleans from Tam.

dpon all! Would they compel the rich mo
nopolies Of their creating, and over whicl
they are determined to atch with RuardiaE
care, to pay tribute to the government as are
others compelled to do! No. never. Though
the wings, ofthis county ishould succeed, and
though they were to use their utmost endeav-
ors to procure the repeal or modification of
this law, their efforts would be powerless in
the accomplishment osthis object. And why?
Because in other sections of the State, where
the wings are pow erful, and where they new
er "abandon the issues" they have made this
law one ofthe test questions of the present
political contest-they have taken this law
as their text and they are determined to stick
