BANKS.

When friend Barrett, OF the Patriot, lee
lures again on the subject Of Banking and
in condemnation of that clause OF our State
constitution. which prohibits the creation
Of these institutions, we hope he will not
forget TO tell us who introduced this clause,
aud hy whose agency it was Incorporated
IN the constitution. We think our neigh
Dor will find the name Of VIM 3 Ochiltree
conspicuous. We suppose the editor of the
Patriot is acquainted with Judge Ochltree' 3
politics. and is well aware that he is one
of the great eaders-li not the acknowl
edged head of The wing party in this State.
Now we are opposed TO Banks, partleu>
larry among an agricultural population like
that of Texas, because We believe that they
and when the time arrives for the question
TO be submitted to the people, tit It evc'
tons, we expect to come out boldly IN OPP
position to them. But there are Democrats
aud many of them, who differ from us or
this subject, and there are also several dem
oeratic papers in the State, that advocate
the Free Banking policy. This we under.
stand to he the policy the Pa,rio, iavors
On this question our neighbor seems Ia
differ with his party which has always ia,
vored the old system of banking. What
wing State has ever adopted the free bank
ing system None of which we have ever
heard The truth Is tina, the wings have
always favored the monopoly system. and
we are very far from believing that they de.
sire to establish any other in this State
Look at their course in Louisiana They
cried out " free banks free banks :" until
