MERCHANTS BANK OF MACON, GEoRGIA.-There
seems to be but little of this trash in circulation
in this Territory. 1t has had its day with US
here, and, has finally passed into financial grave
opened to receive it (not Intentionally, perhaps
by those who transplanted it here, and, originally
honored it with their personal confidence and
nursing, until it gained temporary footing
amongst the multitudinous bastered issues that
constitute q sort Of financial leprosy in our
midst.
1t never enjoyed the confidence of the business
men of this city, and was only tolerated because
interested parties here redeemed it, and when at
last they denied it a sslocal habitaton' in their
Office, its vagrancy became apparent, and was
soon stencil in the nostrils of the community.
1t is to be hoped that no effort will be made to
re-estabish its former dubious character, as it is
not entitled to our confidence. In fact, rags that
are issued in Georgia, and at home where they
are suppos ed to be the best known, are denomin-
ated ''wild cat,' and are presented by Grand Ju-
ries as great financial Frauds, and said to be sre
fused by all the banks in good standing in the
State,"-that have decent character in Chicago,
only by the grace of our money lord and savior,
Geo. Smth-that are at large discount in many
places in Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky
that are refused absolutely by the bankers and
brokers of St. Louis and Galena, and by the
Mississippi river steam boats-should be outlaw
ed utterly.

OUR NEXT DELEG ATE.

The time approaches when the citizens OF Min
nesota will be called upon to make choice of a
man fit to represent them in the Councils of the
Nation. 1t is we'll that the ground should be
thoroughly scanned before the battle, and that
some unanimity of feeling should be had on the
part of the people, that they may be enabled to
elect such man as will reflect honor upon Min
nesota, and redeem the character she has lost by
the acts of her present Delegate. Political trick
sters and corrupt demagogues may rest assured
that I" the day of their destiny is over"--they
need expect no political preferments from the hands
of the people. The masses are sick and dis
gusted with the fraud and corruption which have
swept over our Territory during the past six
months, and if we do not mistake the signs of the
times, the good, sober, honest thinking portion OF
our inhabitants will vote for no man for Con-
gross whose character is not above reproach.-
We want man to represent us, who is HONEST
and in whom VIC can place implicit confidence
We want man who is temperate, and upright
We want a man who will not uphold fraud. We
want man Of enlarged views and who will raise
his voice against iniquity of all kinds. If such a
man can be found, let the people rally on him
and elect him, as we know they can elect him, by
a large majority. When this is done, Minnesota
will progress to that high destiny which awaits
her but let designing, dishonest man be sent
to Congress, and two years from this time the
very name of Minnesota will become Odious to
honest men. We bescech the people to ponder
over this matter.
