FRoM MAINE TO Mississippi, FROM OREGON

Balsam OF Wild Cherry in curing all diseases Of the

there is constitutional predisposition to consump

we venture TO affirm that one ever died of that
complaint, who had recourse to this remedy when
the first symptoms OF its approach appeared Thou

hopes of being relieved from Bronchitis and Con-
sumption, and who have laid their bones in for.

Bronchitis, Pleurisy, Sore Throat, Rheumatism,

MICHIGAN.

The Legislature of Michigan assembled at De-
troit on the 5th ult. Gov. Felch's message states
that there are only five banks in the State do
ing or claiming to do banking business, viz: The
Bank Of the River Raisin, Mechanics Bank OF
Michigan, Oakland County Bank, Michigan State
Bank, and Bank of Michigan. The charters the
two last were repealed in 1912, but they still claim
corporate existence. The Governor says-The
experience Of Michigan has been such in reference
to banking corporations, as to render it doubtful,
at least whether the public good can be subserved
by any attempt, under the fostering protection OF
legislative enactment, to create paper substitute
for gold and silver currency, or to give to the
banking business the privileges of special charter.
The ruinous evils produced by an inflated and
changeable currency are uEdeniable Of thesixty-
seven banks and banking associations in operation
since the State organization, with but single ex-
cepton, none have continued IN constant operation
and with untarnished credit Most Of them have
become bankrupt; their assets have passed into the
receivers, their chartered rights have beco me for
feited, and their paper, to vast amount has pro-
we'd valueless in the hands Of our citizens. These
circumstances stll fresh in memory, afford little
inducement again to embark in the hazardous ex-
pertinent They should, at least admonish Pc
cuiar caution in listening to any application having
FORTS object the granting Of such privileges

"THE ISSUE

If the action OF the late democratic convention,
on the currency question, needed any apology or
justification, it would be found in the pertinacity
with which the wings, in the Legislature. shape
all their acts to conform to the interests of the pa
per barons, whose castles they are desrous of ma
king impregnable, forgetting, all the while, that
with so fra support, the superstructure must fall
of itself, in due time; and that that time will be
hastened by every ounce that is added to the weight
of the edifce. Every proposition which has been
made to guard the people against the wrongs of
monied institutions. or to equaze taxation,-put-
ting the banker the same level with the farmer,
and others Of the producing classes of the commu-
down; and the former are permitted to say wheth-
er they will, sacrifice to prevent their destruc
ton, be taxed, to uphold what is the basis of no
small portion Of their power, state credit, while
the latter are forced to pay tax on every thing
they possess. On the other hand, every additional
privilege which has been asked by banks, has been
granted by the dominant party, who appear desi-
rous of giving greater powers even than the paper
money makers can ask of than The privileges
which have been granted to the CiDcinnat institu-
tioDs, after they had once been put upon the coms
me platform assigned to all banks except to those
sometimes called " independent" are really mon
strous, and can result only in evil to themselves
and to the mmunity--converting those few in
stitutdns which are supposed to subserve useful
purposes, to mere machines for speculation. The
manner, too, in which Mr.. Woods proposition TO
repeal the bank bill, was treated, is another proof
of this subservency OF whiggery to the banking
interest, and its contempt for the popular will Its
votaies could not suppress their contempt for the
popular feeling, which, now assuming form and
consistency, has SO long existed against the policy
which they are so disposed to encourage and per-
petuate. The discussion which arose on the pro-
position, however, will have good effect, as the
remarks of Messrs. Jones, Newman, Thornhill,
Utter, Wood, CLANCY, Ewing, and others, were oi
a useful character, and will go before the people.
where they will have their due weight
Under all these circumstances, we think every
democrat must admit, that it is well that the ques-
tion Of the currency has been put in tangible
form so that il may be settled forever in the pre-
sent contest. We shall be strengthened by the
close adherence of the wings to the worst abuses
of the system, and their disregard Unpopular rights

| WEALTH OF THE MEXICAN CHURCHES
Major Noah, in the New York Times, speaking OF
the immense treasures in the Mexican churches,
says:
In the Cathedral Of Puebia de los Angeles
hangs grand Chandelier OF massive gold and sill
yer, not Of ounces averdupois, but whole tons in
weight, collected under the yiceroys from the va
rious tributary mines. On the right of the altar
stands carved figure OF the Virgin, dressed in
beautiful embossed satin-executed by all the nuns
of the place. Around her neck i S suspended arow
Of pearls ofprecious value, coronet of pure gold
encircles her brow, and her waist is bound with a
zone Of diamonds and enormous brilliants. The
candeebras in the Cathedral are of silver aud Of
gold, too massive to be raised even by the str ong-
est hand and the Host is mass OF jewels Of the
richest kind. In the Mexican Cathedral there is
railing ofexquIsite workmanship, five feet in height
and two hundred feet in length, Of gold and silver,
on which stands figure OF the Virgin OF Rene.
dois with three skirts -one of pearls, one Of emer-
aids and one Of diamonds; the 6gue alone is valued
at three millions Of dollars. In the Church of
Guadalope there are still richer and more splendid
articles; and in that OF Loretto, they have figures
representing the Last Supper, before whom are
placed piles Of gold and silver pate to represent the
simplicity Of that event. It is the same IN all the
churches and cathedrals Of Mexico. The starving
Lepero kneels before the figure ofthe Virgin worth
three millions, and yet would die OF want before
be would allow himself to touch one Of the bril-
liants in her robes, worth TO him fortune. About
hundred millions Of dollars are thus lacked up in
church ornaments, while nothing Is laid out for
public education, roads, canals, public improve
ments, and true national glory" i

THE CAMPAIGN.

The political campaign that is to decide wheth-
er Ohio is to have democrat for Governor during
the next two years, or whig, has commenced and
both parties preparing for the great issue with
a spirit and determination unsurpassed at any for
mer period, in the history of our elections.
The democracy have great work before them,
but if united they are fully equal to the task. They
can carry the State if they will it, and go to work
the right way In the first place, they must be
united; and we doubt not they will be. Being
united, every honorable means must be employed
to spread the true issues between the parties before
the voters, in every part Of the State. This must
be done mainly by the press, though the press
must be backed up by the public speakers of the
party.
But the press and speakers will labor in vain,
without organization. The first STEP to be sure, is
to enlIghten to the public mind, aud convince the
voting masses of the utility and justice of demo-
cratic principles and measures; but this work would
be useless and its fruits lost, unless by thorough
organization, the democratic voters be brought to
the polls, for we may rely upon il that the wings
i'll be there in their iu strength. Let our watch
word then be--a perfect organization throughout
every part of the State - Gin. Enquirer
