s. Vermont Danks.3

About four months ago, newspaper was
started in New York with the imposing title of
" The McrcantRe Times, dcroted entirely To the
interests Of Commerce. and Irade." The chief
:" mission of the affair appears to be to create
commercial and monetary pancs, for which
purpose it was doubtless supposed that the small
est amount of commercial and financial knoirl-
eige would be quite sufficient. 1t is a locofoco
concern altogether, crying up Free Trade and
Direct Taxation, and opposing the Protective
Pohcy-thus resorting to the most luminous
method of displaying its profound ignorance of
the true relations of Trade and Finance.
One Of the latest exhibitions of stupidity and
malice with which this Commercial q paper is
in the weekly habit of ediiying its readers, is
found in an article in its columns of the 18th
Feb. under the heading of "Vermont Banks"
wherein an attempt is made to discredit the bills
of all Banks in this State, but more especially of
the following eleven :-Montpelier, Middlebury,
Caledonia, Pouney, Newbury, Manchester
Orange Co., Farmers and Mechanics, Wood
stock, Farmers and Black Rver.-though the
remaining seven are left, by this financial wise
acre, in about the same category.
Now it is hardly necessary for us to say that
the credit Of the Banks of Vermont is not quite
at the mercy of the cyphering of panic makers
and Interpretations. There is no State in the
Union whose banking institutions are under
better management, both legislative and dirccto-
rial, or whose State currency is in a sounder and
healthier condition. There is no State in the
Union where the people are more sensitive res
pecting the sovency and stability of their Banks
or where superior intelligence and integrity are
requ'red,by the force of public opinion, in their
superintendent and control And, notwith-
standing the specious showing of this New York
commercial humbug, there are no other eighteen
Banks in the Union against whose liabilities the
public are more securely protected
The following is a sample of the species of
financial wisdom, or knavery, which the Mer-
camille Times" takes pains to exhibit

most popular nomination the Wings could make.
Our friend Walton has placed the name OF Judge
Mclean upon his colors | take it for granted he
only assumes to speak ont his own preference, end
that of some of his friends in so doing. Judge Nc
Lean is eminent man, and no doubt a true patriot,
and one of our nobest Wings But agree with you
in the opinion that large majority Of the Wings of
Vermont would prefer Henry Clay for the Wing
Candidate They would rejoice to have more OPP
porunity to give him the OF Vermont. Yet YER
mont would give her vote very chcertully, have no
doubt, for Judge Mclean.
