Kansas ScRIPr.-Judge Schuyler, OF Kan
sas, recently delivered a speech in Chicago,
giving full account Of matters in that Terri
tory. At the conclusion Of his speech, he re-
marked that the Free State men had suffered
much, and were in need Of material aid. For
the purpose OF procuring this aid. Kansas
Script had been issued and whatever should be
loaned upon it, the Free State men would re-
pay as soon as the present difficulties were SET
tied. He had scarcely taken his seat, when
upwards Of $4,000 Of the paper were taken up
by those present, and committees were appoint-
ed to canvass each ward in the city and IN
duce the citizens to extend helping hand to
those now battling for Freedom on the plains
Of Kansas. We feel sure that if the script was
offered in this city. thousands Of dollars could
be readily raised. For oursef we will take
500, and we know OF others who will take an
equal sum. Send nyour committee, gentle
men,-Mnnesota is ready to do her part in the

Of the President did not come up to my idea Of
the dignity Of his high position. .,..- .T. "a.
Franklin Pierce cannot we'll claim to be the
peoples President, for God certainly never de-
signed him for that office. He stands ON one

undignifcd position for President. Why
don't he stand up straight Iwould have CIV

to have taken his place for an hour-just for the
honor of the name he bears.
In nuppearance he is just like Capt. Holcombc.
Not quite so good a looking man as the Cap
tain. The Captain would have received his
guests with more heartfelt sincerity and with
a warmer grasp Of the hand, and with much
more dignity. The President would merely
touch the hand and bend the head gently down

We don't know as We have any particular OBJ
lection to dividing the County, provided it is
done fairly. but if the same game as last year
is attempted to be played, it would be we'll for
our St. Paul delegation to give the matter their
careful attention. We are led to believe tha,
there is skullduggery at the bottom of the whole
matter, and therefore it is proper for the menu
bers to keep their eye on the County Bill.

MON ETARY.

The supply in the money market seems to be
fully equal to the demand. Contrary to all former
experience, the rates of interest ut this season of
the year are kept down to q level with those that
obtained during the preceding season of pros
porous trade and active navigation. .s
Il, Various causes have been assigned as having
produced the present " flush " character of the
money market; amongst which, is the disappoiai-
ment of those who intended to enter largely into
the purchase Of lands at the Land Sales, and the
consequent diuersion of the funds brought here
for that purpose to the avenues of trade, specu-
lation, discount, &C.. in this city and surrounding
country. This may have contributed to some ex-
tent to the present favorable condition of the
Territory but apprehend the true reason is to
be found in the increasing confidence on the part
Of every monied man who has any personal
knowledge of our Territory, in its growing pros
perity, and in the abiding and substantial charao
ter of its securities. Hence. now, in the dead
of winter, tho express and the mails bring to Us
each week, tens of thousands Of dollars for loan
and investment, and the stream has been constant
and will doubtless continue to increase unless
checked by monetary pressure in the Eastern
financial circles.
The prejudices of Eastern capitalists against
the Western country as field for safe investment
are being gradually dissipated, by reason of the
enormous profits that are every where realized on
investments in its almost unlimited domain-an
argument addressed to the purse, and more potent
than all others combined. ,l.,
Money seems to be plenty at 2 2 and per
cent. interest per month, and can be readily OBJ
tanned when good securities are offered.
We look forward through the coming year, and
think we sec an easy condition of the money
market, comparatively, and q moro prosperous
period of trade and speculation than has hitherto
marked the career of our common country.

SATURDAY, JAN. 26, 1856.

sQuestton-N
Our readersa are doubtless aware by this time,
that we are no friend of Shinplasters, but that
we have commenced war which we shall con-
tinue until something is done to suppress them.
Here question naturally arises, ''if you are
not in favor Of Shinplasters, are you in favor Of
Banks 2" Certainly we are, if properly conduct
ed. "How is that e. may be asked by ONE
Simply by so securing the bills issued by Banks
that the People will not be the losers. "That's
all well enough" says another; '-but how are
you to do this 2" Let US suggest If ten
men desire to go into the Banking business, and
desire to issue S5OO,0OO in bills, they should be
compelled by law to purchase good State stocks
or some other stocks designated and acceptable
to the State, and these stocks should be placed
in the hands Of the Comptroll r who should be
elected by the People, and whose coun,ersign
should be necessary in order to give circulation
to said bills. He should not be allowed to
sign more bills than there were stocks on hand,
and the condition of the Bank should be look.
ed into by the State officers every three months.
In addition to this, we would have the private
property of each s,oclxholder pledged to secure
the redemption Of the bills, SO that there could
possibly be no chance of defrauding the People.
There may be other plans, but this is the most
feasible one which strikes US at present. OF one
thing the community may rest assured, VIC shall
oppose all banking institutions unless they are
placed on basis commensurate with the wants
and safety of the PEOPLE. .....i .f..
