&C. As our position upon the subject of ban |
king has been misunderstood by some OF our CO.
lemporaries, we deem it proper to state in plain
terms. our precise views upon the subject in
controversy.
1t is acknowledged BY ALL that great evil
exists In our State, namely-that a large amount
OF uncurrent and precarious bank bills from diff
ferent States around US, are in circulation all
over this State; and that this currency is not only
great nuisance, but very serious evil to our
trade, and the growing prosperity of our coun-
try Looking upon this state of our money
market, we do, as very serious matter
cast about for a remedy finding no other, we
come to the conclusion that paper currency of
our own issue would be far better than foreign
one. if based upon good and sound foundation.
Then, if this were the only remedy that could be
hit upon, we prefer what seems to us the lesser
of the two evils. But, that, if any other means
can be devised, we do not wish to see a dollar
issued within the State of Mississippi.
There may be other means by which this ac-
Iknowledged evil can be remedied, and we SIM
cerely hope there are. Laws may be enacted
by the Legislature prescribing it in such man.
ner as to render it unnecessary to issue paper of
our own, to run it out OF our community. Our
only object in advocating the re-establishing OF
banks in Mississippi, was, that, by subjecting
ourselves to one evil we might avoid greater
one. Even greater evil might be inflicted
upon us by the establishment of banks, than the
one now in existence and would be, if the
greatest caution and care should not be observed
in the manner of their creation We hope tha
, some plan may be devised to check this presen
and growing evil other than the establishment
of banks at home and if it can be, we tht
last to advocate their creation; for conside
, banking institutions in themselves, to say th'
least of them, very dangerous to the prosperity
and stability ofany community. If paper mon
ey can be kept from our State, while there is 81
much of it in the surrounding States, speci
would flow into it to supply the place OF paper
i Then let every citizen of Mississippi put hi
might and influence against the circulation Q
f paper currency, and drive it home to its mothe
e States, if possible, without being compelled t.
r do it by home issue. This, we think, suffi
e ciently explanatory of our position, to satisf
: our democratic friends that we have not departe
e from the old Jeffersonian faith.-only proposin
, to suffer the infiction of one evil to avoid
: greater one if no other remedy could be devised
But if we can get rid of the one in existence
without the adoption of another, we shall rejoic
over the event, and hail it with delight and wit
: strong hopes Of a steady, bright prosperous an

0~P Late advices from California bring the
most distressing accounts from the mining dis
tricts. The winter has been so wet. that the
miners have been unable to get supplies of pro-
visions from the cities; and their old stock
is nearly-and in many instances entirely, gone.
Many of them are reported to have died OF
starvation. They are flocking to the towns in
distressed condition. Many are subsisting on
roots and acorns in the mining districts and
that kind of food is very scarce. Every thing
in the shape of food, no difference how old OF
stale, is brought into requisition. The story re
lated by DIR. Chambers that. at certain hote
in Californa-the same being exhibited in the
Drs Panorama--all they gave for dinner wa:
soup made out of an old pine knot, with the les
of an old boot boiled in it to give it a meaty fla
vor may even now be no less than fully realized
and od boots worth the full of them in gol
dust for the purpose of making soup.
We hope that the next newsff from that country
may be of more Hattering character and the fear
of coming misery and starvation dispelled
That country is in great need of some assistanc
from the general government, and we do hope tha
the noble efforts of her representatives. in Con
gress may not be entirely fruitless.
