Of our own.
It's competent for you TO frame general
law, under which either or both Of the banking
systems contemplated ty the Constitution NAV
be established. 1t is perhaps unnecessary for
me to indicate nay opinion in regard to the rela-
tive merits of the one or the other, or to ven
ture any suggestions as to the provisions which
should gOinto the frame work OF either. The We
ny large amount of gold andsilver in the coun-
Try Jus'ihes the conclusion, that an actual src-
Gle basis would be obtained under a banking
law wisely conceived as to the privileges it
conferred and the limitations it imposed
There is often power in words. Confidence s
an important element in all banking operations.
The wcrd State, in government we'll ordered
and conducted. is with many the synonym OF
confidence. These facts, with others, would
determine my own mind in favor of wisely
adjusted State Banking System. Lett it be es-
tablished under the best lights you can obtain,
protecting the billholder, inviting the capita
list, issuing no bills under the denomination of
five dollars
The constitutional requirement upon the
General Assembly to encourage and foster ag-
ricultural I'm, r0yement, must have had its orig
in in knowledge OF the fact that the legisla-
ton Of the country everywhere has been dis
posed heretofore to ignore "this first born of
civilization
1t is true that high state of prosperity re-
quires the promotion of every branch of indus
try, and tic cultivation of all the arts and sci
ences !; but agriculture is the precursor of all
these, and from tie character of our soil and
the nature of opr geographical position, must
be the great leading arocation OF our people,
and therefore the first interest to be considered
and improved.
But the question rccurs, how can this injunc-
ton OF the Constitution be carried out, and the

We condense from our exchanges some
items of interest from the Capitol. The
Washington correspondent of the New

understand tho President will appoint

vor to induce the Momons TO yield obed-

sible, the shedding of blood. The Com

and force of the Government, to reduce
them TO suLjc, ton, and will endcavor to
Impress upon them the usclessness of OPP
position. IL is said that Gov. Powell, of
Kentucky, and Major Ben. McCulloch, will
be the Commissioners.
Negotiations are now going on between
the United States and England for tho abro-
cation of the Clayton. Bulw er treaty. The
Senate and House Committees on Foreign
Affairs will shortly, by n decided majority
recommend its immediate abrogation. The
English Government, through their minis
ter hc:e, Processes to have TO objection, pro-
yidcd our government will make certain
concc ssions in Central America. The Pros
ident il determined to act promptly in this
matter.

The House discussed the Deficiency Bill.

For the Lancaster Lcdgrr.l

Mr. EDIroR in the last issue Of your
paper, the name of J. Williams, Esq, and
that OF p. 7. Hammond. Esq, appear in
nomination, rs suitable persons TO represent
Us in thu approaching State legislature
II has been said that our late Representa-
sives will not appear before the people for
reelection should this be the case, il il
believed by many that it is quite time that
the people should know who arc 10 succeed
them.
The good old time was, when the Office
sought the man may we not hope that
we are getting back TO those times! In
expressing our approval of the nomination
OF the above gentlemen, it is not NECESSARY
for us to step aside to enquire into ,he po-
lilical views of either; they are known 20
all Of us they are known not to be of
that "milk and cider" kind Of politicians,
who wait TO see what direction the tide of
public opinion will take on the questions of
the day, and when the course Is well mar.
ked ont, to "piich in" and denfen you with
self applause for being so sngacious, as to
be able to point out and avert the impend-
ing evil.
Does any one ask whether this is not
the course Of many politicians we anawer
that IL IN the course Of all designing ones
an d too often the case with office seekers.
Should any one ask il this is the ease with
the nominees upon whom We wish TO place
the high and responsible duty OF Represen.
tatiyes, We say to NIL such refer to the
past life Of ]. Williams, Esq, " hen asked
for his opinion upon any and every political
question Of the day, and soc If he did not
give IL without the fear Of diffsrin with
tho highest, or without regard to popular
applause.
Go to the past political career of p.
