FREE BANK MONEY.

Mr.. EDITOR: Various modes have
been suggested, and various bills
have been introduced into the leg
islature relative to the present trou-
bles with the Banks and the free
ba nix currency. That the banks are
in trouble there can can be no doubt,
but | think the note holders OF the
free banks that have not been able
to make their notes current are in
more trouble than the free banks.
By receiving the name of the
Comptroller endorsed upon their
notes, the Legislature has said to the
people, Take this money, it is good.
Yet, in this crisis, the people find it
is not good. Ihave been informed upon
good authority that some of the
notes of the Banks of Tazewell and
Claiborne have been sold in this mar
ket for As cents on the dollar, and
that so cents on the dollar is Of very
common occurrence, and this too,
falls on people of small means who are
not able to lose it.
Nov think the Legislature can
do something for these note holders,
and make it profitable to the State.
Let our Legislature pass law au-
tborizing the State Bank to take
these notes at par and pay them out,
and as compensation for this, to
receive the interest on the bonds
which these respective banks have
placed in the hands of the Comptrol-
Ter, at the end of every six months.
She will receive three per cent. inter-
est ON the bonds, then burn three
per cent. of the circulation of each
bank. By continuing this course for
twelve years, she will have taken 10
the circulation of the free banks so
taken, redeemed her bonds with ten
per cent. premium Of them, and
saved the State credit, and the whole
matter has cost her nothing. / mere
ly throw out these Suggestions to cal
the attention of our Legislature TO
the matter; | think it is practicable
and profitable to the State and the
noteholders.
One wto feels interest IN State Credit.

The Crisis in England,
The New York Herald saws:

b.
Take it all in all, we doubt whether
in all her history England has ever
known a more terrible month than
October of 1857 has been. Simulta-
neously with the heart rendering ac-
counts of the slaughter of their poor
countrymen, with their wives and
children, in India, and Of the utter
destruction of the prestige throughout
the country which was their proud
est boast, the English will learn that
the debts due to them in America
cannot be paid and that we, instead
Of feeding their banks with gold, must
draw gold from them to sustain our
selves. Mails from the East and
mails from the West will arrive char
ged alik e with disaster, misery, and
ruin. No sooner than they have re-
covered the blow of the loss of city
in Bengal, than a New York steam
ship will arrive with intelligence fatal
to a city in England. Each success
sive week will have its burthen of
losses, sorrow and bio odshed. One
such disaster as these was enough for
any country, however stout her heart
and vast her resources: the two COM
bined-the sweeping financial crisis
in the United States superadded to
the appalling catastrophe in British
lndia-might overwhslm any nation.
In these terrible times, it may
keep up our own hearts to perceive
that alter all there are those who suf-
fer even more than we.

We not avail ourselves Of ii? The
immense evils ola paper currency
are now pertinent TO every intelli-
gent man.
1t is to this cause that all our
troubles and disasters in the inan-
clal and commercial world are, at pre-
sent, owing. The immense paper
emission has inflated our currency
to point far above the hard money
standard of prices in Europe; hence
we have been deluged with impor.
tations that have drained US of oul
specie. Had we a hard money cur.
rency, there would be no over ira

market. But il is not now our inten
ton to descant upon the evil O.

1--WE hear that Capt. Van VIiet
passed a week in Great Salt Lake CT
ty. He was treated with much con-
siieration and invited to psrtake Of
the hospitalities of the leading men
Of the city. But on all occasions,
and from every quarter, he heard on
~ one expression of opioion-and
that they never would permit United
States troops, or the officers appoint
ed by the United States Government,
to get a foothold 10 their dominions.
10 all their public declarstions, and
in their private Conversations: this
sentiment is boldly ayowed-tbey
will never suffer the troops to enter
the city,and if they do, it will be az
ter the town has been committed to
the flames, the Territory around it
laid waste. and all the inhabitants
have flown TO the mountains. Their
ianaticism knows no bounds, hey be-
lieve Brigham Young to be appoint

he commands them TO do they will
perform with alacrity. They say
that they have provisions sufficient
to last them for three or four years;
and that perseruled as they have
been and are. by the A orleans. they
will resist to the last extremity.

BANK SUSPENSIONS.

There is Il little provision in the
United States Constitution which
says that no law shall be passed i'm
pairing the obligation Of n contract.
Banks issue their notes as currency
and promise to pay them when pre-
scented ut their counters, in specie
individuals take them upon this con
dillon, and the contract with the bank
becomes complete. Now, what We
want to know is, how can failure
Of the bank to fulfill its contract be
legalized by any Legislature, in the
face of that clause Of the Constitu.
tion we have quoted above?
We are aware that it is pretended
that this legislation will not prevent
individuals from bringing SUIT; that
they will have legal remedies, bat
absolse the banks from forfeiture
of their charter. This amounts
uearly TO the same thing, for no per-
son would take bank note If he
supposed that he would be obliged to
20 to law TO recover its face.
Ii the banks are sustained by the
law making power, in refusing to
pay their notes as they agree, and
absoIved from the consequences, then
the obligations Of a contract are i'm
paired aud overridden by that body.
Most assurcdly any such legislation
is entirely illegal, if the Constitution
applies to banks aud corporations.
1t is suggested by some that it
does not. rs in another clause Of
the constitution States are forbid
den TO issue bills of credit. Never
thelcss, bills ofcre'iIt have been is.
sued by banks under authority dele
gated to them by States. who, by the
Constitution, have no power TO dele
gate. II the sacredness Of con tracts
Gan be impaired by law, most certain
ly the Constitution does not apply
to banks. Gin Eng.
