The INCREASE OF BANKs.-When the people
of Illinois and Wisconsin voted to approve of the
Free Banking systems enacted by the Legislatures
of those States, the wings, the devotees of paper
money, throughout the country, shouted aloud for
joy. But under the operations of these laws so
great has been the increase of rag mills that
even some of the whig papers are beginning to
feel alarmed about the result. Already have the
Illinois Banks issued over million of dollars
In Indiana "a new banks are being organized un-
der the Free Banking law, and preparatory steps
have been taken to start a number of banks in
Wisconsin, and in short time the country will
be completely inundated with this irresponsible
currency. The same specious arguments have
been employed to induce the granting of banking
privileges in those States that were made use of
here: that it would furnish sssafe solvent, con-
venient home currency, easily convertible into
specie at the will of the holder;' and they will
have the same realization Of this promise. The
shinplasters of those concerns will be sent abroad
into Ohio, New York, and other States, while
they will receive in return the pictured rags Of
the banks of those State, and thus will the people
be unable to obtain the specie upon this worthless
paper. Already has the paper Of these Western
banks begun to find its way into our State, and it
will not be long ere it will form the principal part
of our currency and flood every avenue of trade.
This is the manner in which the Rag Barons full
81 their pledges to the people to furnish them with
'home currency and to s'driye out the worthless
trash of foreign States''

manauvring. The Democrats appear content
with their unprecedented triumph, and are willing

rives.
