T. That the separation of the moneys of the Govern.
ment from banking institutions is indispensable tor the
safety Of the funds OF the Government and the rights Of
the people.
We say these men don't believe what they
have asserted, and we prove it by their own acts.
Here is our own State, and three-fourths of all
the States, subject to their control and manage
ment, as every State but Vermont has been, at
some time since the Independent Treasury was
enacted. Now if it be true with regard to the
Federal Government that the separation Of the
moneys of the Government from banking nstitu-
tons is indispensable" &C.. it is manifestly true
witbregard to the State Governments also, Yet
every one of these Democratic States, with the
possible exception Of Arkansas, Texas, and Cal
ifornia collect their own revenues in Bank notes,
depositing them in Banks, and are at all times bor-
rowing of Banks or trusting them in a hundred
ways. Nothing could well be more intimate and
confidential than the intercourse between the
Governments and Banks of the Democratic States
well as others. Time and again have we called
their attention to this glazing discrepancy be-
tween their professions and their acts. Yet they
neither justify the former nor amend the latter
While they so grayely resolve that the divorce Of
Bank..a State is indispensable, they yet uniformly
persist in and profit by their union, in every State
where decent bank is to be found. Either their
principles ruinous or their acts are rascsy.-
Which is the fact !
g That the liberal principles embodied by jefferson in
the Declaration of Independence and sanctioned in the
Constitution which makes the land of liberty and
the asylum OF the oppressed OF every nation have
been cardinal principles in the Democratic faith and
every attempt to abrdge the privilege OF becoming ci
and the owners OF soil among US ought to be re.
sisted with the came spirit which swept the Alien and
Sedition laws from our statue book.
Very coed but who objects

ResOlred, that the foregoing proposlsn covers and
