Look out for Breakers.

We learn that two Of tie New York Banks
have failed--the Farmers Bank of 0nondsga
and the Merchants and the Mechanics Bank
Of oswego. 1t is impossible to tell how
much the people Of Ohio have lost by these
failures, but one thing is certain, the State
is flooded with the rags Of New York and
other States. which 10 us is an omen that
bodies no good to the holders of such trash.
We have taken occasion once or twice before
10 warn our readers against the eastern
banks, and we now do SO again. Yesterday a
friend exhibited to us large roll of new pa
per just issued by one of the eastern banks.
The signitures were scarcely dry from the
hand of the President, and yet hundreds OF
dollars had found their way into distant
State. This is not an isolated case. Other
banks practice the same game. Now, what
does all this mean? Is the monetary inter
ests Of the people better subserved BY having
the bills Of scores of strange banks among
them? Certainly not! The object, we take IL
is simply to make money. Of the thousands
of eastern paper dollars with which the west
is flooded scarcely one-third will ever be re-
deemed. In this case, who loses7 Do the
bankers, the issuers of the dirty, greasy stuff,
suffer? No--the people, who permit this
species of swindle to he practiced upon them,
lose. The further from the banks their notes
yet, the less chance there is of their redemp-
tion, and the corporations may break or wind
up their affairs al leisure, without any lear
Of being troubled by the thousands who hold
their notes IN distant portions Of the Union.
We say to our friends again, beware, for
breakers are ahead! While upon this SUBJ
,ect, we would remind our readers OF one OF
the whig arguments in favor of the establish
ment of the State Bank Of Ohio. Itwas de-
clared by every whig stumpsr in the State
that If The Bank was not established, the
State would be flooded with the bank bills o.
other States. The Bank and its branches

established; but do they prevent what the
wings claim they would? Almost every
man in the State who has paper dollar In
