BANKS, BANKERS AND FRAUDs.--It has prob
ably occurred to thousands Of the good people
Of Michigan, that the State is being flooded
with most worthless and irresponsible curren-
cy. Our own institutions are doing, we believe,
safe and legitimate business; they are conduc-
ted by men Of intelligence and character, and
their position, not less than the character of
their managers, entities them to public conf
dence. In the midst of our own fair banking
operations, we find ourselves literally flooded
with mass of irresponsible and worthless pa
per. The end of all this will be, that Michigan
will come in for the expense of heating the po-
ker We have travelled little through the
western part of the State, and think it not un-
reasonable to suppose that at least hundred
thousand dollars Of valueless paper is in circu-
lation among the mercantile and producing In
terestsl A hundred thausand dollar loss to
Michigan would be heavy. We cannot afford
TO act the confidence part in the drama of de-
ception which is coming off. Here is sample
of our circulation, which has, for its basis, moth
ing:
LITTLE FALLS, New YoRK-313.
The CHICAGO BANK of I. H. Burch g.
Company pay to the bearer Three Dollars, on
demand, in current bank bills. May 10. 1850
To THos. BURcH II. M. BURCH.
Are the people of Michigan aware that, of
this vile trash, they have perhaps a hundred
thousand dollars, the value of which most like
ly depends upon the simple fact that they are
willing to receive it? How long are we to in
sure for Chicago spectators! How long are
we to nurse up their sham bankers, and give
capital to their spectators, by taking individual
promises to pay! Who knows anything of l.
O. III N
Burch! We have demanded of our own bank
ers, that they shall deposit stock security, and,
having done so, run our necks into the halters
spectators in Illinois and Wisconsin. There
is the Burch Bank, equal in value to the Beach
Bank, of Plainfeld, New Jersy-a Eastwood
concern then there is the Richmond net at Ra-
cine and hoskof others, some running into
Indiana and Netucky The truth is, all such
bills should be refused safety to the commu-
nifty demands it. Det. Free Press.
NOMINATION FOR CoNGREss.-The Democrat
ic Convention for the second Congressional Dis
trict held at Coldwater, on Wednesday last,
nominated David A. Noble of Monroe, as candi-
didate for Congress. Almost every county in
the District presented candidate to the Con-
vention For several balotings the votes were
cast for the respective candidates, with but
little variation. Finding it necessary to con-
centrate upon some one, the final result was
the nomination of Mr. Noble Though we en-
tertained strong hope of the nomination of DR..
p J. Spalding, of this County, we shall most
cheerfully yield to the decision of the Conven-
ton, and use all our humble efforts to secure
the election of Mr.. Noble. We do not think
that Monroe County had any just claim to the
nomination of Mr.. Noble in preference to the
candidates of other Counties, that have been
less favored with public offices, yet all must
concede that he will make most able and eff
cent Representative, and that the question of
locality,now that the nomination is m e, shoul
have no bearing against him in the adcanvass.
