RAG-MONEY, SHINPLASTERS,
SMALL BILLS.

Mr.. EDITOR Nearly all the small
currency in circulation in the Eastern
Counties of Ohio, at this time consists OF
notes of the denomination of one, two and
three dollars, issued by unknown institu-
tions in distant States. How do those
nasty, Shiny, lizardy things get here7
Reader, if you want to know I'll tell you
The directors of wildcat institution in
Chislemville. in the township of Knavish,
in the county of Catchem, in the North
of Maine or Rhode Island or Connecticut,
send their circulars to a number of cum
ming sharpers, making the following prop
ositions, to wit:
That Mr.. Sharper can have a large
quantity of these small bills, say from two
to ten thousand dollars at low rate OF
interest, say two or three per cent. per
aunum upon giving bond with two condi-
tions, first whenever five hundred dollars
of the trash is returned to them, Mr..
Sharper must take it out again and re-
place other funds Secondly, he must cir
culate none of their small promises to pay
east of the Ohio river, all must come west.
These base things never come here in
the ordinary course of business, and they
never come here at all in any other mode
than that above described except when our
honest institutions make dicker, with the
North Eastern wildcats, and swop with
them bushel for bushel and cord for cord.
The very object of traders is to get their
commodities SO fa- from home as to pre-
vent their ever returning.
These shinplasters are manufactured
and sent here, for the very same purpose
for which pickloeks, centerbits and other
burglars tools are manufactured. They
are instruments of fraud MS guilty as felony
itself They were excluded by a law of a
former General Assembly, and the country
was clear of them. But the last Assem-
bly, before the present, repealed the Law
and fetched them back again, and now
they constitute almost the only currency,
driving out the small shinplasters Of oul
own State banks, on the principle that a
worse currency will always exclude bet
ter.
Neighbor, suppose you want payment
of one of these small securities, how will
you get your money from the north corner
of Maine? At the time of the suspension
last. September, Whites Bank of Buffalo
Oliver Lees Bank, Tonawanda, Dlackrocl
and dozens more were at eighty per cent
discount at home. But the discount i.
really secondary matter, for the issuer'
never intend to pay them, if they can pos
sibly avoid it, and they send them her,
on purpose to avoid payment.

success in The popular bran:h Of Con
gress, ard defeat in the u,popu'ar branch,
aforls q rare and remarkable illustration
of the character ofthis government. The
voice of a defrauded people had been heard
laundering at the doors of the Senate for
months, backed by the concurrng de-
maud of the honest -yeomanry of nearly
every State in the Union, but it was
wholly unhceded there. That Senate for
swore all responsibility to the democratic
element of the nation. But when the I.e-
compton swinGlo made its way to the
popular chamber, the mandate of the peo-
pie found more direct aud emphatic hear
ing among their direct representatives.
There this huge and most -hideous fraud
met the fclon fate it deseryed--at the
hands of the trustees of twenty five mil
lions of people. Now let the Represen-
tatives stard to their guns. and they will
have proved themselves worthy of an age
of political light and progress. In such
u crisis, the House Of Representatives is
the last hope of American Democracy
and nationality. The Senate has fallen q
supple and snpine prey to sectlonalism
and executive domination.
The people of the Con nsressional dis
tricts must look to their immediate dele-
gates in the national legislature, to save
this government from becomn NJ feltr J.
lied oligarchy. Let the House be true
now, and ages will pass before another
open attempt viii be made to overslaugh
the liberties of the people, by forciby i'm
posing a rejected government upon q
State. The American Democracy are
not yet ready to become second Roman
Empire, where municipal Independence,
the rights of the local majority, and per-
sonal freedom shall all sink under a CON-
mon despotism. The FIRST fatal step in
this downward course has been arrested
by the House of Representatives, and
now that body must scout all comprom-
Use and all conference with the other
faithless branch, which has already shown
its willingness to strangle the majority
rule. There must be no wayeriug or
backing in the House. Popular confidence
runs strong now for the right, and it
would be worse than shame to baulk and
weaken it, whatever the ultimate result. =
We hope the Anti-Lecompton Democracy
let the motion come from the brave and
indomitable Montgomery, will move to
adhere to his substitute, and convert the
Lecompton monster into hopeless abor-
tion. the instant its head is again raised
among the peoples Representatives. =

BUCHANAN ON CUBA.-The Washing

BUCHANAN ON CUBA.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger, states that it is currently report
ed, that the President has determined to
send message to Congress in regard to
our relations with Spain. It was to have
been withheld till after the Kansas bill
has passed. 1t is now said, that he win
not delay the moment longer, and that
the message may be expected this week.
This message, looking as it willdo, to
the acquisition of Cuba by the 'Uaited
States, will produce startling effect both
in this and other countries; particularly,
at time when oil Europe is, perhaps. on
the eve of q domestic or internal quar-
