DEMOCRATIC MovEMgNTs.-We see it stated
that General Cass has been unanimously no. l.
mated to the presidency by the Michigan Legis-
laturs. This makes the third State nomination
which he has receved--Ohio, Indiana, and Michi-
gan. On the other hand, Mr.. Buchanan has re-
ceived the nomination Of majority of the demo-
cratic members of the Legislature of Pennsyl.
vania. General Cass, Mr.. Buchanan, Mr. Polk,
and Mr.. Woodbury., are perhaps at Present the
most prominent democratic candidates that will
be brought before the twenty-fourth of May con-
vention in Baltimore.
1t is obvious, however, that great doubt and
uncertainty exist in all those matters. IF in the
midst of this difficulty, or under any influence
coming from any quarter, that convention should
settle down on the nomination of General Tay-
lor, in anticipation of the wing movement, what
atreme ndous explosion it would produce through
out the country. Such movement by the demo-
cratic party, originating either in Utica in this
State, or elsewhere, and ending in his nemina-
ton in Baltimore, would create an entire revo-
luton among the political organizations of the
country. It would give the democrats great
triumph before the election, and throw the wings
on their backs for the next quarter of century.
Really, it would be good movement for the
democrats to make such an attempt.

LATER FROM THE SoUrH.-ARRIvAL OF THE
SouTHERNER.-We have papers from New Or
leans of the 7th, Mobile of the 9th, and Charles
ton of the evening of the 14th, brought by the
favorite ocean steamship Southerner, Captain
Berry, which arrived yesterday from the latter
place.
We invariably receive papers in anticipation,
and frequently three and four days in advance of
the regular United States mails, by this steamer.
On her last arrival out at Charleston, after an
unusually long passage, owing to heavy gales,
she brought papers from New York four days
ahead of Cave Johnson's mails. Some of her
passengers had written a week previous to their
departure, and, on their arrival at Charleston,
found that they had anticipated their own let.
tiers, though mailed many days previous; and
such we know is positively the case with letters
this way.
We are indebted to the politeness of Captain
Berry for late Southern papers, and to the Offices
of the Courier, Patriot, and Mercury, for similar
favors.

GENERAL INSURANCE LAws.-Some pious and
God fearing capitalists of Wall street, are kick
ing up great clamor against movement in
Albany, for the purpose Of regulating the fire
and marine insurance companies in this city and
State.
1t appears, that, under the new constitution,
the Legislature has power to create general IN
surance companies. Whoever has capital to a
certain amount may establish a company, and
begin business. But the new movement In
Albany seeks to Danish all the insurance COM
panles of other States from competition with
the companies established here under the laws
of the State of New York.
We do not see any objection to this course.
The legislatures of other States ght as well es-
tablish banks, manufacturing companies, and any
other species of corporation, for the purpose of
operating in this State, and thus effectuully de-
prive the citizens here of all their rights and pri
vileges, and of all the effect and benefit of their
laws.
We rather think the whole affair springs from
the clamor of insurance and bank agents of other
States, who desire to interfere with the business
arrangements carried on under the laws of this
State.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1848-02-16

NRw BANKING LAws.-Some currency tlnk.
ers in Albany are very busy mending, sewing,
and patching up, all the banking laws OF this
State, as they do their old coats and breeches.
During the last quarter of a century, the laws
affecting banks and currency in New York, have
been altered half dozen times. Schemes have
been entered into, again and again, under the
name Of securing to the community sound
currency, and Of protecting the capitalists Also
No scheme, however, appears to have been COM
pletely successful Indeed, it Is not possible
that any scheme which involves the faith otmen,
or is associated with paper credit, can be COM
pletely successful. Nothing but hard money,
gold and silver, speaks the truth. Human nature
shows itself to be q common liar when it at
'empts 10 set up system of paper money.
Under the new constitution, the Legislature Is
empowered to pass general laws, and to establish
banks and a bank currency, but it is prevented
from special, personal Legislation on such mat
tiers. A committee of that body, is now busy in
preparing general law upon the subject; and ac-
cordng to ell indications, we are led to believe,
that the present free banking system will be dis
pensed with, and the old plan will be revived, of
a paper circulation, based upon the power of
capital and names, with some kind of fund to
lean upon.
This movement, no doubt, originates with the
bankers and currency makers themselves 1t is
difficult, under the present laws organizing the
free banks, to cheat the public out of more than
twenty-five per cent at furthest. Now, accord
ing to recent experience in Wall street, fifty per
cent is there considered only moderate price
tor sne's character. We really think the leglsla-
ture ought to take into consideration the suffer-
ings OF the bankers, brokers, and currency ma
kers In New York, and grant them relief The
good old times, when the public were cheated
by these people out of every cent, instead of
mere per centage, ought to be revived in their
favor. The mass OF the people can bear cheating
and like to be cheated, according to the expe-
rience of the last twenty years; and, therefore,
we can see no reason why the Legislature should
not help to have them cheated, by encouraging
the wholesale business of cheating to its full
extent.
