trio preacher, in alluson to the exclusion of many
would be -churchgo from the sanctuary, by
reason of the enormously high pew rents in our

''There is high duty on the fashionable wa
ters of divine grace, and you have to pay at least
penny piece for nibble at the bread of life

later to have large and utterly worthless amount
on hand. That we are threatened with evil, none
will deny, and that these evils are plainly visible,
and need counter action is equally true. But
where lies the remedy? In Banks Of our own
suppose we have them. We have no more money
among US than we had before, if the Banks are
conducted honestly, and our Bank Notes are but
representatives of money boarded in the. vaults.
10 be safe Bank should issue no amount of notes
greater than it has specie to redeem. Then, that
it brings no money into community is very clear.
Ii it does issue an amount of notes greater than
its specie deposits, in what would our Banks be
better than those of other States, whose paper is
now scattered so profasely in our midst ? The
only possible advantages to be derived from per-
fectly reliable and honestly conducted Banks are
saving and tear of coin, and convenience
in transportation. We admit that when Bank
issues paper to twice the amount of its capital, it
brings temporary prosperity and gives an impetus
to business. But these advantages only tenn
porary, and are followed by reyerses which we
need not attempt to describe, to one who was an
nhabltant of Mississippi in 81 So A few who
have bargained conscience for gold, will grow fat
from the mortgaged lands, slaves and other prop
erty OF honest and industrious citizens. This has
been the case, and viii be again, if the people
are ever deluded into countenancing such swind-
ling concerns.
We are far from taking the ground that there is
no honesty in conducting Banks. But we say that
! if honestly conducted we have no money in
circulation, and that our Bank Notes, will go
actly the same way our silver and gold does:
The only remedy for the evils which threaten, is
in the good sense of our people manifested in re-
tusing trash. Let our merchants, and large plant
ers have nothing to do with them, and we will get
good hard cash, for the products of our industry
The "Bank of Commerce and ''The Exchange
Bank and other ''one horse concerns had over
run our community, with one, two and three dol
lar bills until one two merchants refused to take
them, and now such Notes are rarely to be met.
There is another evil attached to the Free Bank
ing Institutions, to which we will allude, at an
other time. Suffice 1t to say, that We heartily pray
for deliveranee from foreign or Domestic Banks.

The Democratic meeting on Monday last, was
one of the largest and most enthusiastic ever held
in our county, for similar purpose; and although
the weather was quite incement-rain falling fast
the streets very muddy, yet the Democracy raj
lied at the appointed hour and manifested an in
terest in the meeting seldom known before. 1t far
surpassed the expectations of the party leaders
and the prevailing opinion is that had it been day
suited for such purpose, the Court house would
not have been able to contain the number that
would have been present. No jarring or discord-
ant notes were heard, no opposition manifested,
and everything passed off to the satisfaction of all
present And when the name of Gen. R. DAVIS
was spoken of as the choice of the democracy, Of
this county, for Congress, an enthusiasm was Gre
ated, which told forcibly that the General had a
strong hold on the affections of the democracy q
Monroe and well he may have, for no man has
ever abored more zealously for the success Of his
party, than he has. We confidently hope and ex-
pect his nomination for that Office but if his claims
should be sghted-should we be disappointed, il
will be the disappointment of more than thirty
thousand democratic voters of this State.-Mon
