clear working majority in the constitutional
Convention, over Wings and Free Soilers
With the power entirely in their hands, we
shall soon know what kind of government Lo-
cofocoism would choose, We are bound to
believe that their draft of Constitution will
provide for every Bank Charter now in the
State, and prohibiting any other currency than
gold and silver. To this the party is pledged
by every expression of principle or policy they
have made within FIVE years If they are in
earnest, and honestly desire the destruction
of Banking in all its shapes. they will not let
pass so favorable an opportunity for giving
substance and effect to their views On the
other hand, if their past clamor for "constitu-
tional currency" and mo banks.'' was mere
electioneering clap-trap, employed to deceive
the simple, they will make great flourish of
trumpets about bank taration, &c, and leave
the "Whig currency" in full play. We shall
see what we shall see.
