The Condition of the Countr

Sp'culations may be INDUCED in, predic-
tons made rs to our future prospects. and
hopes buoyed and flnttercd with the expec.
tstion of "bctter times," but none of us
can foretell what the future will bring forth.
We doubt very much, it the money MIR
ket has ever been so string mt. and pro
visions 40 scarce and consequently high
priced, rs has been the case for the past
three months, and even ut this line. The
banks of the State, have granted no accom-.
mod.'tions whatever, the very best notes
have been cast out, and consequently trade
has been depressed in every department
and suffering brought TO many household.
The b'nking system of the country should
be radically changed. To show how the
banks abuse The authority given them by
the Legislature. We will give an illustration,

the bank, but the bank is more obdural q

the money is wanted, and the bank can
make more by letting the notes lie in the

state why-the President of the Bank
