Banking.

The ppesent monitary condition of the coun-
try has awakened some little discussion upon
the subject of Banking. We know that the very
name of Bank is odIous to the nostrils of Mis-
sissippi Democracy, for the reason that the peo-
pie have been SO awfully swindled by these in
stitutions In the wild and reckless days of the
Brandon, Union, and numberess other irrespon-
sible rag factories, the people were SO gorged
with trash which they vainly supposed to be
money, and were so suddenly disgorged, which
produced a collapse, that it is with difficulty
that they can be brought to reflect upon the sub
lect with unprejudiced mind We are as
much opposed as any one to seeing the State
engage in banking; or to chartering banks of any
description without throwing around them such
checks and restraints, as will freely protect the
public. The word bank is of extensive signifi-
cation, and, although it is said we have no banks
in Mississippi, yet there are daily banking oper-
ations carried on in every commercial town in
the State.
If an individual wishes to negotiate loan, he
obtains his merchants acceptance at thirty, six
ty, or ninety days. and with this draft he goes
to brokers' establishment and gets the money
generally the bank notes Of other States at
discount OF Il 10 % per cent, per month. Now
what is the difference in principle in this trans
action, and in getting the endorsement of the
merchant upon note. and having it discounted
at a Bank. None as we conceive But in the
one case you get 1914 or $984 on the hundred,
and in the other, you pay the legal interest on the
money borrowed We are now enduring alr the
burthens, and running all the risks of banking
system without any of its benefits. We are
paying from one huhdred to two hundred thou
sand dollars annual tribute to Louisiana. Ala
bama, Tennessee, and other States, while there
is an abundance of money in our own limits.
But the capitalists who do not wish 10 make in
vestments in property are forced by our policy
to send their money to other States to loan, in
doing this they avoid the tax, which Is J per
cent, and in many instances get higher rate of
interest than is permitted by our statutes. Now
we think these state of facts call loudly for
remedy In the Democratic States of -, but
why enumerate nearly every State in the Union
ia Democratic and in nearly every State banks
are ia operation. We are bound to believe that
there are as honest people in Mississippi as
anywhere else, and that some system Of Bank
ing can be devised that viii be safe, sound, and
beneficial 10 all interests in our State. II any
plan can be devised by which the evils COM
planned Of can be remedied without banks, we
would like to see it done.

The Poatru of Music

Music is under no necessity of speaking any
language but its own beautiful instrument
tai composition is its own poetry. exciting the
feelings an Imagination without need of the
intervention of words, and uttering, in fact,
a more direct voice of the mystery and beauty
of passion, than poetry itself. There is some-
thing SO angelical is its being thus Independent
ofspeech, that it seems kind of stray language
from some unknown and divine sphere, where
the Inhabitants are above the necessity eff words;
and indeed it is constant part of the charm
of music to seem as if it signifed still more
than we nave human words to express while,
on the other hand, it is so linked with all our
faculties, and has certain properties of accord
and sequence in its composition, SO appealing to
our very reason and logic, that it is no refine
ment to say one feels sometimes as if it were
pursuing some wonderful and profound a1gu-
ment-laying down premises, interchanging
questions and answers, and drawing forth de-
ductions equally conclusive and bewitching, SO
that our very understanding is convinced,
tn ugh We know nothing Of the mysterious

O- Several of our friends of the democratic
press, are expressing the opinion that if the Gov
ernor shall order the election of our Congressman
by general ticket, each of the present districts
should be allowed to nominate a candidate by
district convention, and the State convention
should nominate but one of the candidates.
This seems 10 us very novel way of presenting
candidates for the support of the State at large.
II every portion of the State are to support the
candidate, should not all have voice in nomi-
mating The claims of the different sections of
the State would be literally respected in general
convention of the democrats of Mississippi, and
what more could be asked So far as we are
concerned, we care not which mode might be
adopted, but until the Governor makes his proc
lamation, we hope to see no discord, nor after
wards either.

But "our winter of discomfort" was not TO be

Several Of the farmers Of this county have
urged us TO expose the Cotton Wegher al Yazoo
City. They complain of short weight from two
to forty pounds on each bale. We sincerely
hope This is mistake. The merchants of Yazoo
Cit9 with whom we have The pleasure Of an ac-
quaintance, are clever and gentlemenls men, and
would scorn the idea of coantenancing such
fraud"
The above article is from the Southern Sun,
published at Kosciusko. We were much aston
ished at finding anything of the kind limited
about MIR. w man, Cotton Weighera this place.
The Sun justly remarks, that the merchants at
this place would scorn the idea of counlenan-
cling such fraud. But this is not aIl-Mr. Wy
man would be as clear Of defrauding the planter
in weight of Cotton any living. Mr..
Wyman is gentleman of high and honest prln-
ciples; and the planters need have no fears
about an honest weight from his scales. We
are sorry 10 see such thing intimated against
one Of our citizens, whose honesty is above sus-
picion-and against whom we have never heard
a syllable uttered before.

ADECEDED STAND.

Mr.. Dixon, from Kentucky, gave no.
tice on the 22d Of last month, that he
designed moving to refer the reso-
lutions offered by Mr.. Cass, in relation
to the Monroe doctrine, to the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, with the
annexed instructions. 1t will be seen
that these instructions come directly
to the point. This is noble stand, and
one that should be sustained. If the
Monroe doctrine is worth anything to
us, or if we intend to stand up to our
declared rights, we must take, not only
the Bull by the horns, but the Lion by
the ears, and check his trespaSsing
upon our soil, as well as compelling
him to observe his treaty stipulations.
While we ask from other nations moth
ing but what is right, we ought to SUBJ
NIT to nothing that is wrong:
THAT the said committee be instructed to
examine the treaty concluded at Washington
the 4th of July, 1850, between her majesty,
the Qeen OF Great Britain, by her Minister
Plenipoten:iary, Sir Henry l.. Bulwer, and the
Government of the United State7, by John NJ.
Clayton, Secretary of State, and ascertain
whether the government ofGreat Britain since
the ratification of said treaty, has violated any
Of the provisions thereof, by the establishment
of any colonial government, the construction
of fortifcations in Central America or other
wise and that they report the facts in connec-
lions stherewth. And if in their opinions there
has been any violations ofsaid treaty, thatthey
make further report by resolution, or such
measures as they may deem necessary % en-
force faithful observance of the stipulations
of said treaty, and preserve the honor and inter-
est of the country.
That said committee inquire and report
whether or not tie establishment in the Bay
of Honduras By the government of Great Brit
ain, called the Bay of Islands, is or not viola
tion of the provisions of said treaty, of the
doctrines of Mr.. Monroe, as proclaimed in his
ms ssage Of the I'd December, 1923, on the
esta blishment of colonies this continent by
European powers; ; and if it shall appear that
the rights of the United States have been inva-
ded bv either in disregard of the provisions of
the said treaty, or of the doctrines proclaimed
by Mr.. Monroe in his message aforesaid, hat
they report The facts to the Senate, together
with such measures as in their judgment may
be deemed necessary tn vindicate the honor of
the country. and that said committee inquire
whether the seizure by the French government
of the peninsula of SANTANA, of the republic of
Dominica, is or not a violation of the same
great principle, proclaimed as aforesaid in tn e
message of Mr.. Monroe and ifso, what action
is necessary on The part of the Government to
protect itself against such encroachments on
its rights
