THIS IS BANKING! ,l,5..,.a: j ;. asn.
It Isl principle Of trade, familiar to
us all. that the price of property isreg-
ulated by the, quantity Of money in the
country, (byl money, we mean that
which is, used as circulating medium,
whether metal orpaper.) If the bank
expands its issues, property rises in
value, and prices are high. If the bank
contracts, property falls ia value, and
prices 60 down. Thus, instead Of gold
and silver. constituting the standard Of
value, the whims, caprices, or corrup-
tons of bank officers regulate the STAN
dard. lsuppose, it need not be asser-
ted, that the honest men who had been
purified in the red hot furnace OF the
revolution, never contemplated any
such thing. They believed the labor
ing man was worthy of bis hire, and,
they made constitution which they
thought would ensure him wages which
he could feel in his pocket, and hear its
jingle. ag0iH! gte a

imperfect manner, thrown together a
few thoughts suggested by the resolu.
tons of.yohr convention; my time is
too much employedarto allow me to
elaborate the subject; butI must again
express my hearty concurrence in the
wise resolutions ofthe Ohio demo cracy.
You will have trouble in making the
masses understand and appreciate the
beaeits and blessings of a purely me-
tallic currency. In this State, we were
for time, overthrown onthe question; /;
but ''fortune favors the brave;" we ad-
hered 10 our devotion, and have now
pure gold and silver currency. Mon
ey is plenty, prices are stable, people
are satisfied, loafers are scarce, moralI-
ty is in the ascendant-scrub aristoc-
racy is defunct, and we are rapidly
coming to be- what nature intended we
should be, a great and a happy people.
Yours, very truly, nJ

"BANKS OR NO BANKS.n r

DR.. Dunham: Another advantage
said to be derived from banks Of issue
is, that they increase the currency and
thus enrich the country by clearing our
forests, building houses and barns in
the country, and by enlarging towns
and. cities in every direction. This
ridiculous humbug of the bank swind-
lers has thousands Of admirers who ut
ter pious political amen wheneverthis
doctrine is advanced. aG ~ sai.e41
Now, Sir, lhappen to know some-
thing of this business from actual expe-
rience and | deny the truth ofthe as
sertion.rIhave cleared out a tarm and
improved it, and assure your bankish
readers, if you have any, that all this
was effected by my, own unremitting
and untiring industry. The banks had
no hand in the business-it would all
have been done, and at less cost too,
had there never been bank in this
Union. And why? Because, in the
first place, these broken banks have
cheated me out Of considerable sum
of money taken in exchange for the
productions of my farm; and, in the
second place, / have!paid, three times
the interest for the money invested in
my farm that would have been requis-
lite under the constitutional currency.
It's true that have not, like thousands
of others, been ruined by this legalised
system of fraud. but lhave still on hand
some bank notes which will give to
Mr.. Brown for the "Cronicle," at two
dollars year, until they are5expended

CACkSoN, hisS., L Gu. Z, $40.
S. MErARY, Esq.-Dear Sir: am
honored by the receipt of yours of the
79thult., covering resolutions passed
bya Convention of the Democracy of
Ohio. The resolutions pledging, as
they do my political brethren in the
empire State Of the west,to the cor
rect doctrine ofshostility to chartered
privileges, and a speedy return to the
currency Of the constitution, meet my
hearty appreciation. . ''4f's 's W
SaAlf banking corporations are con-
ceived in. fraud, and are brought forth
in derogation Of that principle Of polit-
cal equality, which is the boast OF ev.
cry true democrat, Suppose there to
be ten individuals in the city Of Coum-
bus, having each ten thousand dollars,
which they are desirous of, loaning at
interest, Nineeof these apply for a
charters which the legislature grants;
stipulating that the companymay loan
three thousanddellars for each one paid
in. They pay.ain 10000 dollars, and
immediately proceed. to loan two l,un-
dred and seventy thousand dollars;thus
they get interest three times over on
their money. The other one loans his
money at interest, and gets nothing but
single interest; perhaps he loans It to
the other nine at six per cent. they
putt in bank, and loan out three for
one, at six per cent, and thus getf8
per cent. This IS legitimate banking,
and it is legalized swindling. But they
do not stop here; they frequently loan,
five, six, ten and even twenty for one;
for every dollar loaned, they demand
the interest Just as ifathey had specie
dollarto redeem 1t, if the paper were
presented. Nor is this all; the success
ofithe company at Columbus, will ex-
citc emulation at Zanesvile; ten citi-
zens there have each ten thousand dol
lars which they wish to loan, at least
they have the notes Of the Columbus
Bank, and that's as good as specie :
They apply for and get charter, with
like limitations and restrictions; the
slock is subscribed, and the notes OF the
Columbus Bank presented for payment
tosenable themsto pay the stock; the
cashis, drawn and paid in. The Zanes-
vile Bank is put under way. The
people have confidence. ltnwould be
next to treason not to have confidence.

Candsaa,es for tae convention.

Albany Co-TauaLow WEED, IRA HARRIS Of
Albany and PETER SHAVER OF Cumberland were
nominated for Delegates to the Constitutional Con-
veption by the Wings of Albany Co. on Saturday.
The nomination of Mr.. WEED was proposed from
the country Towns, and Immediately ratified with
out dissenting voice. II was entirely unexpected
to Mr. w as he had been publicly named some time
before. and had then peremptorily declined being
candidate. On being apprised of his nomination on
Saturday he reairned his original resolution, de-
clarjpe tina, he could not consent TO run. We trust
however. that the universal and ardent wishes OF
the Wings of Albany will ultimately override bis
disinclinaton-The ticket is altogether strong one
and will be elected by large majority.

City Charter Reform.

Mr.. Stevensons bill To provide for the calling OF
a Convention to amend the Charter of the City OF
New.York calls for Special Election on the first
Monday in June. This isvery wrong. Our people
will be outwearied with so many Elections. Why
no, elect the same time we do our Delegates to the
State Convention, and save the time, expense and
decentralization of another Special contest There Is
ample time to prepare for it-even week would
answer, rather than have Special Election.-Then
he is wrong in choosing by Wards; on Graduated
let each Election District choose
one Delegate to the Convention on the Single Dis
trict plan it will give us better constituted and
more independent body. Mr. S. proposes 81 so per
day as compensation, and Separate Submission 10
the People next Fall That Separate Submission
we regard as impracticabe, or rather inconsistent
with any thorough Reform.
