This is the heading of long editorial
in the last Democrat, (Which wires in
and wires out, And leaves a body still in
doubt, Whether the snake that made the
track, Was going South or coming back. I"
1t is on both sides Of the question, and
If the editors keep on in that style long
enough, and improve fast enough, they
may yet be compared to Martin Nav Blu
red. In one part of it they say, 1--WE
are opposed to banks and the banking
system There it is, the whole seu-
tence, without any qualification whatev-
err, and this is truly the position of the
democratic party. They arc opposed to
all banks, and if that party gets the pow
CIR in this State We shall have no banks,
and shall have to put up with Nebraska,
Georgia and other similar democratic
currency for mind you, these bills are
lawful dcmocratic issues, legalized by
democratic Legislatures, and owned by
such anti bank democrats as Judge Green,
Bernhart Hem, aud such like The
Democrat says, If the Republicans are
left to have their will about this matter,
we will be flooded with moncy--but as
worthless as the paper upon which it is
stamped" If they had given any proof
Of this, We might think there was some
thing in it, but they have given no proof,
and in this they are not to be blamed, for
there was no proof to be had The state
ment is without foundation in truth, and
simply an assertion of the editors
What are the facts about banks? Who
chartered the worst swindling shops that
ever existed, such as the Michigan wild
eat banks? We all know it was the DEM
ocrats. The following from one of the
resolutions, Of the Republican State Con-
vcntion, shows what kind Of banks the
Republicans want; chat the next leg
islature should provide system of bank

culating medium, redeemable at all times,
within its limits in gold and silver
THAT il the kind of banks the republi-
cans want, and we believe the people of
the State want them 1t will be remem-
bcred, that whatever kind of bank law
may be got up that the people of the State
have got to appr1ve Of it at regular
election before it can become law.

Monetary.

1t is expected that the Boston and New
York Banks will have to suspend, and
that then the bills, Of all well secured
banks, will circulate as currency, whether
the banks have suspended or not. 1t
must be borne in mind, that it is not Ger
tain that bank is 'broke,' because it
suspends; most Of the suspended banks
will redeem every dollar of their bills,
and the bill holder should not put them
off at great discount, but keep them, for
in few days they may be good again.
p. s. If you have any money you
don't want to keep, just pay it to the
printer; he'll take it.

An illustration of tho workings of
specie basis in New York, and currency
basis in Philadelphia, may be found in
the fact, that Il. w. Clark, Dodge & Co.,
of New York, under specie basis, had
to suspend temporarily on Saturday; while
h. w. Clark & Co., of Philadelphia, un-
der a currency basis, are not compelled to
suspend, and so advise their correspond
ents here by telegraph.

gent, that neither they, nor any of the

What has President Buchanan Done for
the Southt

This question is triumphantly answered
by Hon A. III. Stevens of Georgia, III
late electioncering discussion, as follows:
"What had Mr.. Buchanan done to
recommend him to the confidence of south
crn men! He had appointed four South
ern men as members of his Cabinet, aud
from the North he had selected three 9th
ers who bad been distinguished for their
firm aud anyieldng and unsclfsh deyo-
ton to the constitutional rights of the
South. Two of them Gen. Cass and MIR.
Toucey, had sacrificed themselves a
home, and been defeated by Black Re
publicans, because they stood by the South
in her hour of need, and Mr.. Buchanan
had shown his appreciation of their broad
nationality, and his inclination to protect
the Northern defenders of Southern
rights, by calling them to high office and
selecting them as his Cabinet advisers.
What had he done? He had in his
Inaugural address done more than any
man who had preceded him in the Presl-
Dental Office ever had done, in giving in
his adhesion in advance Of its delivery,
w 1hS vi viz l'liu 9tutl dGIlS-
ion of the Supreme Court, and proclaim
ing, as rule for the conduct of his ad-
ministration, the true doctrine of South
ern equality in the Territories of the Tn
ion. What had he done? lie had given
US the mhole government organization Of
The Territory Of Kansas; had recognized
the lave of that Territory, against which
the Black Republicans had reyolted; and
had placed Southern men IN Gerry office Of
honor or infuance IN the Territory, and
he had placed no man in Office in Kansas
or anywhere else, who was not pledged to
sustain the Kansas Nebraska act, and all
the other legislation of Congress which
secured to the South her right under the
Constitution. What had he not done
which Southern man of any proprioty
could ask that President of the United
States should do.

pG- A United States naval chaplain,
who has recently visited the great pyramid
of Cheops, in Egypt, says that he walked
around it, wading in deep sand fourteen
hundred feet before he had passed one OF
its sides, and between five and six thou
sand feet before he had made its circuit.
He says: "Take hundred New York
churches of the ordinary width, and ar
range them in ahollow square, twenty-five
on a side and you would scarcely have the
basement of this pyramid take another
hundred, and throw in their material into
the hollow square, and it would not be
full: Philadelphia and Boston, and the
structure would not be as high or solid
as the greatest work of man. One layer of
blocks was long since removed to Cairo for
building purposes, and enough remains to
supply the demands of city of half a
million of people for century, if they
were permitted freely to use it,
