beeause the moment that the Territorial
government passes away, with it goes the
corruption fund with which they expect to
organize Pro-slavery Democratic party.
All the Territorial appointees are opposed
to it because with it goes their bread and
butter; and outside of these two classes we
believe the people are nearly unanimously
in favor of it. So the fight win be between
the ofice-holding Democracy on one side,
and the people on the other. Judging from
the past the frst-named have reasonable
chance of success. We pray. however, that
for once the people may rise superior to

If this be the general feature of the vote
throughout the State, we are pretty safe in
saying that both the state Banking Law and
the General Banking Law are adopted
The vote on this matter, though not much
different in result from what we had been
led to believe it would be. is surely much
larger than We eyi c,tej. This is owing
mainly to the fact that large number of
farmers were in town all of which are much
in favor of Banking Law. Probably sew
