Ed. AMkRIcAS.-The grand object
of the Democrats for the last twenty
years, has been to give us n HARD cur.
rency. and they have at last succeeded
IN giving US one that would satisfy the
most fastidious lover Of hard currency.
As the currency that we now have is
certainly the hardest OF the hard.
You wish your correspondents to
give their views on the Banking ques.
ton. My opinion is that Government
should establish Bank TO be owned
exclusively by itself. with as many
branches ms would be necessary TO en.
able us to transact our financial affairs
without having to submit to the enor-
nous shaves that arc now practiced up
on us. II should be under the control
Of officers elected by the people. -
Such Bank would regulate the price
Of money. and we should not have
such fluctuations o, panics as we now
have. and a man could travel from
Maine to Texas without any danger OF
having to lose by exchanges or uncur.
rent money. II would efiectually break
up the present system adopted by the
brokers Of our large cities, and they
would no doubt oppose such Bank.
as il would utterly ruin their business.
The Farmer. Mechanic or Merchant.
wonld feel perfectly lafe in taking and
laying up such money, knowing that
il would command the specie ut any
time or place. l..
