friends could always account for depres-
sion in the price Of produce, by charging
it to the .'Black Tariff''-that monstrous
measure which they said ,emptied the pock-

Something must lie done, however, for
PORK has gone down pretty low--say 1.-TWO
dollars per hundred in the capital of the

1.-The Duck Hunter of Cayuga"! Well.
the author of that story. says TO our good,
easy friend, the Elder editor of the Jcffer-
sonian: let ms now lay the blame Of the
the present low price Of swine flesh on
the rascallv banks; for behold! they have
got "a united circulation of eight and a
quarter millions of dollars,' and this is
the reason why pork is so low-the "pic-
ture promises" are so plenty, that farmers
can't get but two dollars per hundred in
the capital! 1t will not do to let farmers.
particularly those of our party. think for
lest they may conclude that
the Tariff of '46 is doing the mis- chief
zee are their thinking machines. and the
Banks must be charged 'along the whole
inc with causing the depreciation in
he price ofhogs, by withholding supplies!
And down sat the author and tells the fol-
owing little bit of yarn," just to put
his loco brethren .'io snoring:''
..They (thc Ohio Banks) have at this
Law a united circulation of EIGHT AND i
QUARTER MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. and Pork ,
sells at Two DOLLARS per hundred in the
capital of the State. The City Banks of
Cincinnati. refuse facilities to their city
customers for the purchase Of Hogs. and
