that no DELAY should occur in carrying oct the
views Of the Stockholders. Mai. WALLACE, with

FOREIGN INFLUENCE.

The following extract from letter OF Dir. jEF-
EERsos to CESAR A. Rodney, dated March l6, 1875
indicates (ssys the Louisville Democrat pretty
clearly that his appTehensions Of foreign influence
did not look to the oppressed, king-hating, and
friendless emigrants whom We welcome to our
shores, but to a very different, AID what the world
would call, g much more respectable quarter; and
our know -nothing countrymen viii pardon US II we
say, that upon this subject we regard Mr. JEFFER-
sox as good authority. to say tie least as Sam OF
any OF his coadjutoTa:
They Qhe English) cln do us, as enemies, more
harm than any other nations; and in peace and IN
war they have more means OF disturbing us inter
rallv. Their merchants established amongst U.s.
the bonds by which our own are chained to their
feet. and the banking combinations interviewer
with the whole. have shown the extent of their
control, even during war with her. TheG are tie
qcoTkers OF all he endorsements our finances have
experienced during the war. Declaring themselves
bankrupt they have been able still to cham the
q0Uegn1leRt TO a dependence on them; and had the
war continued, they would have reduced Us to the
inability to command single dollar. They dared
TO proclaim that they would not pay their own OBJ
legations, vet our government could not venture to
avail themselves of this opportunity Of sweeping
their paper from circulation and substituting their
own notes bottomed on specific taxes for Jedemp-
ton, which every one would have eagerly taken
and trusted rather than the baseess trash of bank
companies; our government say, have still been
overswed from contest with them, aid have even
couutenanoed and strengthened their Influence, by
proposing new establishments (see our banks
whose nSme is legiop,) with authority 70 s'0ind!s

At this time, We are reaping the bitter fruits Ct
sus,umbing, in the matter OF currercy and Of bank
to the example and influence Q! England, and to
the dic,atiou of the mercantile, stoek0bbing, and
Specializing classes amongst us, who, more than any
other, feel and reflect foreign BCitish Influence it

be done TO rescue our people FROM Tie fearful and
