for the interests of the state than ths
banks. Already, now, are the people
being tied down in The same way tc
these new banks; already are they IN
debted to them, to bind them more close
Iy together. In d few years, they will
be entirely interviewer. These soul.
less corporations will cling to the state,
as the tick does to the body. Then
they will swindle and shave the people.
and if the knife of reform is to be ap-
piled to them, the cry will be touch Us
not, or you injure the credit Of your
state. Are the people prepared for
these things? r.
We would ask the attention of the
reader to the words of Daniel Web,
ster: in reference to state credit, he
says: "Whoever shall attempt to re-
store the fallen credit Of this county,
by the creation Of new banks, merely
that they may create new paper, and
that the government may have chance
Of borrowing where it has not borrow
ed before, will find himself miserably
deceived"
But what is the true and substantial
way OF sustaining our credit? We quote
from Daniel Webster: again he says:
"all true analogy, all experience, and
all just knowledge Of ourselves and our
condition, point one way. A wise and
systematic economy, and settled and
substantial revenue, are the means TO
be relied on; not excessive issues of
bank notes, a forced circulation, and all
the miserable contrivances to which po-
litical folly can resort, with the idle ex-
pectation Of fgiving to mere paper the
quality Of money"
Are the people willing to see this
state of things! Are they willing to
see the banks and the state so closely
identified, that the action of the banks
must effect the state government
The banks annot live alone, they must
attach themselves to the state, in some
manner, to make the interest Of the
state depend upon them; this is their
whole object. Church and state can
never unite, because the danger Is ac-
knowedged on all hands. But there
are many who go for bank and state,
which is quite as dangerous. Let the
people awaken to these things, or they
will be wronged out of their labor by
the banks, and their state government
will be made subservient to the will OF
those institutions. Statesman.

FOR GOVERNOR OF OHIO,
DAVID TOD, Of TrumbulI.

Go- In looking over our democratic exchange
papers, in this State, we find that they have all en-.
tered upon the support of DAVID TOP, for Gov
ernor OF Ohio, with ardor; determined to battle
manfully for the constitutional currency and the
rights of the people. All we have to do to gain
the ascsndsney in this State is to oerseuere The
time will come when the people will wake up to
their true interests, and give the death blow to
system of banking that enables a set Of favored
men, at pleasure, to defraud thepsops out of mil.
lions of dollars. i,

To redeem this fourteen millions
three hundred and thirty eight thousand
dollars, they have three millions three
hundred and fifty seven thousand dol
lars; and there are ten millions nine
hundred and eighty-one thousand dol
lars in the hands of the people, which,
in case of such an explosion as we had
in Ohio, must remain in their hands,
until the banks real estate is sold, or
their old notes collected to pay them.
The laboring people, who use this mon
ey, cannot keep it for such length Of
time. Their necessities, from day TO
day, compel them to use it as they get
it, and consequently, they are compel
led to suffer those who are able 10 keep
it, to shave them of half their hard
earnings. From the day the banks
close their doors, the laborng people
suffer from the shave, and the bankers
who issue the paper, are frequently,
nay, almost Invariably, the shavers OF
their own notes.
The amount of dividends and reserv-
ed profits for the bankers, the past year,
is three millions three hundred and for
ty thousand dollars. Besides this, the
expenses of forty banks must be, at
least, ninety thousand dollars per year,
making the enormous sum of three mil
lions four hundred thousand dollars per
year, which the people of Massachu-
setts pay for the blessings Of a paper
currency. Let the people of Ohio lay
these things to heart. They exhibit
in strong light the evil effects of bank
ing, on the people, and show the utter
fallacy of banks redeeming their notes
in gold and silver. Let the laborlng
people, who pay for the blessings of a
paper currency, ponder on these things.

BELMoNT.--We have been favored
with the perusal of a letter from dis
tinguished democrat, residing in Bel
mon, county, and who has been high
in office in this state, in which the opin.
ion is emphatical'y expressed, that the
democracy should contend for victory
under the issues made by the recent
convention, and any other course is
pronounced to be impolitic, and likely
to lead to the most disastrous results.
We expected no less from one so saga.
cious and experienced, and who is so
strongly attached to the cause Of free
principle as to be ready to sacrifice
individual feelings in order to advance
the general good. The examples which
our most distinguishe men are making,
of regard for the action of the conven-
ton, are as creditable to their patriot
ism and good sense, as they will be use-
ful to the public.-Statesman.

FROM MEXICO.

We gave some important details, in
last evenings Union, from the "New
Orleans Picayune," (via Tampico,) y Of
the revolutionary movements in Mexi-
co. We understand that these state
ments are substantially confirmed by
the official accounts. A rumor has
gone forth in the streets Of W ashingtop
to-day, which these accouHts do not
confirm-vn: that Mexico has declar-
ed war against the United States.-
War may ensue, but it has rot yet been
declared, as far as we are advised.
Mexico may be mad enough to resort
to this extremity, or to reject all our
demands for justice, as they will prob
ably be urged by Mr.. SlideIl. The re-
suit of such course on her part may
compel US to resort to more decisive
measures for obtaining justice.
We will not undertake to predict the
result; but Mexico must be infatuated
in her counsels to resort to species of
policy, which will call for some active
measures on our part to obtain the set
tlement of our legitimate claims. We
shall wait dispassionately, but with no
little impatience, for the final result of
the contemplated nego tiation. The
Senate has yet to act on the nominations;
in all probability before any denoue-
ment can take place at Mexico.
Another rumor is af1oat, which we
find embodied in letter from Washing
ton, ofyesterday, published in the "Bal-
tlmore American"
sit is said there is important news in
the city from Mexico, to the effect that
negotiations are going on between the
Mexican and French governments, for
placing constitutional king upon the
throne of Mexico, and changing the
Mexican republic into constitutional
monarchy for that purpose-the king
to be French prince. give the ru-
NOR for what it is worth. 1t was cur
rent last night for the first time, and has
been circulated to-day in the halls Of
Congress and among the diplomatic
circle. 1t has been credited, too, by
many, and it is reported to have its
origin in dispatches received at the De-
partment of State direct from Mexico.
Many here regard it as more than prob
able, while others discredit it entirely.
Stranger events have happened"
We will not undertake 10 say, there
is no truth in this rumor, which is not
altogether new; but certain it is, that
we are not advised of there being any
foundation for it in the official despatch
es. Mexico is apparently in a state of
transition; and it becomes the United
States to keep watch and ward over
her revulsions, as we'll as the malnten-
ance of our own rights.-Union.

BEAUTIES OF PAPER MoMEY.-From
the year 184l up TO is45, there have
banks failed with circulation in the
hands of the people, Of ,hirty-three mil
lions four hundred and thirty-nine thous-
and nine hundred and ninety-eight dol
lars. OF this amount, there were two
millions one hundred and thirty thous-
and dollars, of Ohio banks. To this is
to be added the enormous sums which
the people have paid annually, for the
expenses of carrying on this system
of plunder. Could an estimate be made
OF what the paper money system has
cost the people since the organization
ofthis government, it would be perfect
ly astounding; and the whig party are
still in favor of keeping up this state Of
things. Farmers, mechanics, and la
boring men, this vast amount of money
has been wrung from your labor, by
this deceptive scheme Of paper money,
and its makers have lived in idleness
and affiuence, and amassed fortunes,
from the wealth which you, by your
labor, have produced. Will you sub.
nit to this longer, for the poor "privi-
legr" of using bankers debts as cir
cuIating medium ?--Statesman.

REVOLUTION IN MEXICO.

BY an arrival at New Orleans we
have dates from Tampico to the lst
inst, bringing intelligence Of a new
revolution in Mexico. The army OF
reserve under Paredes, has declared
against the existing government, 10 the
number OF 5000, and was on its march
10 the capital. A manifesto has been
issued by the officers, in which they
state that the national honor has been
sacrificed by abandoning a just and ne
cessary war, and consentng to receive
minister from the United States
This manifesto sets forth the following
propositions.
Ist. The army supports with arms
the protest which the nation makes
against every future act of the existing
Administration, and from this day forth
J will hold such act void and of no effect.
Cd. The present Chambers of Con-
gress and of the Executive, not being
. able to continue their functions, from
this time their authority over the army
cease.
Sd. Immediately after the army oc-
cupies the Capital of the Republic, an
extraordinary Congress shall be con-
voked with ample powers to constitute
the nation without any restriction in its
august functions.
4th. In the formation of this Con-
gress shall be combined the represen-
tations OF all classes OF society.
5th. When it is installed and enters
upon the exercise of its high functions,
it shall organize the executive power,
and no authority shall be able to exist
without its sovereign sanction.
9Th. In the Departments, the same
authorities, personally, as are at pres
ent in power, shall continue SO, until
they are replaced by tl.ose whom the
National Representation may substi-
tute.
18th. The army names for its Chief
in this political movement his Excellen-
cy the General of Division ID. Muria-
no Paredes y Arrillega, whom it shall
at once invite to accede, by commit
tee named from the body Of this same
Junta; the assembly remaining in ses-
sion until his resolution is known.
9th. Another committee shall be
named, to invite the worthy Governor
and Assembly Of this Department, that
they adhere to these propositions.
9th. The Army protests,in the most
solemn manner, that it does not regard,
nor will it regard, in any event, the
personal elevation Of the chief whom IT
has selected. n tre
10th. AT the same time it solemnly
declares its determination to punish
severely whoever shall, with arms, OPP
pose the present plan. In evidence of
all OF which they will subscribe their
names, eca di u eeH
To this document is attached the sig
natures Of great number Of the Off
GERS Of the army, commencing with
General Romero, and to which we also
see attached the names Of Gen. Simeon
