Ray Our neighbor says he can not
agree with us, and that he does believe
the people are capable of self-government
Of course he does, although the term
poople-includes the free negroes of the
North, who are allowed to vote, and all the
paupers and convicts sent over from
Europe. But if he means to say that our
opposition to the intervention of such
material with our government, proves us
to be opposed to popular sovereignty, we
must infer that he does not know, exactly,
what should constitute free. government.
There is wide difference between govern
ment by a mob, and government by
native citizenss, who have a deep in
terest in the well-being of the country
and experience has proven that no govern
ment has long existed as free, whore the
ballot-box was open to the rabble. That
our country has prospored, is true. So
did Rome so did Greece-but how long ?
Corruption is not instant death to liberty
and prosperity any more than consump-
ton is to the physical man but both are
fatal.

B6r Some of the locofoco papers console
themselves by saying that the rapid growth
of the democratic party will overcome the
combined opposition in 1860. We have
heard that Matteson, who was convicted of
being bribed, and expelled from Congress,
has gone over to locofocoism, and this is
all the evidence We have seen Of the

B65~ The JeffersOnian seems dissatisfied
because we have not proven that Lecomp-
ton newspapers have been supported out
of the Treasury. The charge was made
by Washington letter-writers aud publish
ed all over the country and only the
other day, occasional" the Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press,
wrote thus 1.-The amount of money ex-
pended on Lecompton newspapers, out of
the Treasury, if stated accurately, would
hardly be believed l would not be
surprised fit would build magnificent post
Offices for Philadelphia, New York and
Boston" Now it is simply absurd to sup
pose that We must be prepared with the
testimony to prove charges against the
Administration, and still more absurd to
insist that we shall not publish them with
out such proof Did the Jeffersonian
practice upon its precept, it would then
have a show of right to object to our
course, but certainly not till then.

R6r The Avalanche is of the opinion
that the currency thinkers will make the
destruction of banks and the substitution
of hard money, the issue of the next
canvass in this State. Before doing so,
however, we hope the locofocos will define
their position on that subject SO clearly
that there can be no mistake, and as a
preparatory step, we ask the Avalanche
and the Union & American to say whether
they will endorse resolution to the effect,
that it is inexpedient to recharter any of
the existing banks, or to charter any new
ones and that it is expedient to wind up
the State Bank by an act of the next
Legislature. When the party takes its
stand upon this platform, we shall begin
to think they are in earnest until they
do, the people may rest assured fraud is in :
tended. When men honestly mean to do a
thing, they plainly say SO; when they mean
to cheat, they use language susceptible of a
double meaning, just as the locofoco knew
nothing caucus, in Nashville, did.

THE TOBACCO CRop.-We learn from
gentlemen familiar with the prospects of
the growing crop of tobacco, that the yield
will be about half an average in the coun-
ties of Louisa, Albermarle, Orange and
Spotsylvania. 1t is the opinion of those
who have watched the market steadily for
the last five years, and the products of the
country for the same period of time, that
in no single year has a full, general crop,
been made within that time Each year
the stock of former years has been decreas-
ing, and the opinion is that less old tobac-
co was on hand last season than has been
the case for many years,
We hear that the planters of the lower
river counties of Maryland are now secur-
ing their tobacco, and that the crop is far
from being good one. The crop of
Prince Georges will average better than
those of Charles aud st. Mary's; but this
even is not what may be considered good,
Some plantations, but they are very few,
will produce an average yield, but not of
superior quality Washington States.

bank con be used by party to debase the
people aud maintain its own ascendancy,
that this argument against y. 8. Bank,
Is now urged in favor of State Bank
aud were the American party in power,
and likely to continue SO, would this argu-
ment of Cave Johnson's ever have seen
the light7 So far from il, in our opinion,
he would now be adhering to his former
position, that the State Bank should be
wound up as speedily as possible, and the
Union q, American, instead of having its
gun spiked, would now be firing volley
after volley into the Institution so lately
the object of its bitterest denunciations.
Andy johnson urged the Legislature to
wind it up; Cave johnson did the same /;
Gov. Harris did the same ; the Union q
American did the same, and so did many
other leading locofoeos. Then why this
sudden changer 1t is, in our opinion,
because the bank gave the locofocos the
ascendancy. by its traffic in human depravi-
ty, and because the leaders of that party
hope to perpetuate thatascendancy through
the power Of the same agency.
This may seem, to many, barsh judg-
ment; but we ask all such to suspend
their opinion until the next canvass and
if they do not then hear the cry of, down
with all banks, and up with hard money
currency in the hills and hollows, whilst
a different song is sung in commercial
localities, we will acknowledge our mistake,
and reverse our judgment. For every eff
feet, there is an adequate cause-for every
act, a motive and for the acts of certain
locofoco leaders, as above alluded to, we
are forced, in the absence Of explanation,
to infer the motives we have attributed to
them. We all know that to put the State
Bank in liquidation-to wind it up-was,
but short time ago, a favorite measure
with its President, and with the Union &,
american, as well as with other prominent
members of the party. We all know, now,
that the President has turned summer
set, that the currency caucus has indicated
that the State Bank may have to be ex-
cepted from the doom contemplated for
the other banks, and that the Union &
American has ceased its war upon that
Institution. Is this radical change with
out motive? Assuredly not. Then
what is the motive2 If it is an honest
and sufficient one, the people not only have
a right to know what it is, but the parties
are bound, in common honesty, to disclose
it; and if this be not done, we have a
right to infer that it is Of character that
will not bear the light Why did not the
famous caucus resolve "that it is mex
pedient to recharter any of the existing
banks" or to charter any neao ones, and
there stop That was the honest course,
if their designs were honest; but not be-
ing honest, it was necessary not to add the
words in italics, and to add a two faced
resolution in order to enable them to con.
summate the contemplated fraud upon the
people, and afterwards excuse themselves
by citing that resolution as evidence that
their purpose was not to demolish the
State Bank, the continued existence Of
which, is demanded by the public interest

BA- The Cincinnati Enquirer, in ac-
counting for the late democratic ''smash-
up," says it is attributable to the fact that
the Republicans came out in opposition
to Congressional Intervention, and in favor
of popular sovereignty, and that the
Americans adopted the "true American
ism of Democracy" So it is admitted
that the Republicans are as sound upon
the slavery question as any other party,
and made so by the Americans, who refus-
ed to cooperate with them except upon
this broad national basis. And yet south
ern locofocos, with more solicitude for par
ty than for truth and justice, charge that
the Americans abandoned their principles
and went over body and soul, to the Re-
publicans.
But the Enquirer, though telling the
truthin part, could mt stick to it all the way
through, nor hide the locofoco propensi-
ty for stealing other peoples thunder. In
the North, they have stolen the Wing doc
trine of protection and internal improve
ments, and in the North and the South,
they have, by making Subtreasury notes
a circulating medium, stolen the practical
idea of U. s. Bank whilst repudiating
the theory. And not content with these
larcenies, they now set up claim to true
"Americaaism," and aver that the Amer.
lean party adopted it as their platform, in
the late election. But in all their pilfer.
ings, they studiously avoid laying theil
hands upon what they most need-honesty
and patriotism.
