of notes issued by banks out Of the District

when the treasury notes with which govern

shall have the experiment of a hard-money

OH, THE NAUGuTy hanks

"Craeker" correspondent of the Savan-
nah Republican, thus discourses on the way
That the Bank aristocraey have been grinding
down the faces of the poor and depressing
the massesl
"First, then, the Banks hare suspended, and
there is no use Of going into particulars, for,
with a single exception, which shall here
after explain, this the Pandora's box from
whence all the evils come. The decline in
the price of cotton-the difficulty Of selling
goods and collecting debts-the destruction
Of confidence, and all the concomitant evils
Of the times, are TO be traced to this cause
1t is true that cotton had declined some 8
or cents pound. before the Georgia banks
had suspended; and it is equally true that il
has again advanced from mp TO 10 cents,
while the suspension still continues; but this
only shows the dangerous power of the bank :,
in thus depressing and raising, at will, the
price of our staple, by the exercise of some
secret influence and control, which they ex-
ert over the market, and which is wholly I'M
known to the ignorant mass!
Another grevious offence of the banks,
connected with the suspension, is the rednc-
ton, which they have simultaneously etfec-
ted in the price Of corn and bacon-the corn
coming down from Sl,25 per bushe To 60
cents, and the bacon from 30 cents, to about
lOc! But, as these are the articles which
have no little to do with the wants of the
"laboring masses" propose that We say
nothing about them-more especially since
there has been nothing said about them by
the Governor, or any of his great army of
noble and puissant knights of the windmill,
who have saillied forth so eagerly, TO do
battle in defence of the suffering poor.
These "laboring masses" make so much
cotton to sell, and have so little bread and
meat to buy, that the price of cotton affects
them most We will, therefore, stick TO
cotton, though it may not be entirely pru-
dent to say anything about the blunder
Brown made, in his reference to the effects
Of specie payments in New Orleans, where,
under the specie system, during the early
part of the pressure, cotton descended t,oen-
ty per cent. lo~er than the Savannah prices at
the same time.

The LBGIsLATURE.-There are no intima-
lions from the Capitol, rs yet, in regard to
when tho Legislature will be likely TO ad-
journ. Hitherto that body has generally
been able to get through with its delibera-
lions about the FIRST of March. But we hard.
ly think the present session will close so
early. No one, however, can blame the mem
bers for desiring to remain rs long as posi-
bio, rs the opinion begins to prevail pretty
extensively among the people that the few
sst number will get back there in The same
capacity.
Since the above paragraph was put in
type, we have received the Nashville News, OF
the 9Th, which says it will require thirty-f
days from that time for the Legislature TO
get through with the revision and codifica-
ton Of the statutory enactments of the State
Of Tennessee; and offers that work as an
apology for the inordinate length of the ses-
sion. Possibly the News is right. We will
publish its remarks on the subject next week,
that our readers may see.
