Intclligencer says:
"The jacobinical clamor against all
paper money" will be as short lived as
it Is senseless, insomuch that unless some
conservative measures be taken, such rs
we indicated in common with many Of our
contemporaries of different political faith,
we may expect that the admitted defects
in our banking system, under the opera
ton of the same public economy which
now prevails, will in the end bring about a
recurrence of the same reverses through
which we are now passing. The absurdity Of
destroying institutions because of defects
which we are competent to remedy, would
be apparent in any other department of
human thought except politics, in which
passion and prejudice are often found more
potent than reason and experience"
