of the federal government to maintain them it is the

The Banner, being one of the organs of the party
advocating the largest and most unlimited privileges
to the Banks is supposed to know their nature, and
we consequently warned our friends soon after the
appearance of the article from which we have quo

wealthy corporations at the ballot-box.
It seems, from statement in the Greeneville
Democrat that the banks are disposed to take ad-
vantage of the Banners hints on the whisky 'pint,"
and have entered the canvass with earnestness.
The Democrat informs US that director of the
Union Branch Bank at Knoxville declared, not long
since, that NETuERLAED would be elected Governor,
from the fast that the Union and Planters Banks
had determined to throw their influence into the
contest, ard they were worth ten thousand votes any
day in Tennessee"
Tie same paper adds 'that said director expressed
his determination to have LLOYD BULLEN beaten for

Information to the same general effect, showing
that some of the Banks would contribute their

cannot voueh for the correctness of the information
but such conduct would be consistent with the
character which the Banner attributes to moneyed
corporations, and it behooves our friends to be on

Ny DEAR SIR: On my return from few days
attendance upon our Court of Appeals, at Albany,
found your favor of the 18Th of June, inquiring
generally concerning the banking system of this
State, and especially for the origin of the provision
authorizing the mobilization CT repeal of charters,
the reasons which induced it, aud what has been
the success of the New York system under it.
Il has at all times been the legislative policy of
this State from my earliest recollection. to grant
no charters beyond the reach of Legislation. With
many special charters, there is, believe, but sin
gle one which claims exemption from this provision,
and that is the Manhattan Company, chartered in
1899, Osteusiby fer the purpose of supplying the
city of New York with pure aad wholesome water;
but which when it to the practical exercise of
its corporate functions proved to have concealed in
its stealthy verbiage perpetual Bank charter.
The history of this charter doubtless served to
arouse Legislative watchfulaess and suspicion and
charters have since contained the declaratory pro-
vision that The Legislature may, at any time, alter,
modify or repeal this act" Under this clause two
charters, at least, we're promptly repealed, years
sinee-one for being engaged in usurous practices,
and another for having issued notes or checks con-
lHaNy " tuo ptVNASAOHS VI let, ucS-
withstanding this summary treatment, SO long as
special charters were granted the Legislature was
annually besieged to increase the number, and the
stock was SO eagerly sought for, that millions were
subscribed where but thousands were to be distrib-
uted.
In short, SO clamorous and importunste became
the applications for bank charters that it aroused
popular feeling, and about 1889 crude general
banking law was enacted, throwing the business
open to all who would comply with its provisions
and since that PERIOD special charters have been
granted but those in existence were left to expire
By limitation. This generallaW, with many amend
ments and improvements suggested By experience,
constitutes our present system and all insIitu
tions are formed By its authority
The general law. unier which our banking insti-
tutons are now formsd AMI transact their business,
is like all other laws, subject to change modifca-
ton or repeal And yet, there is no State in the
Union which can claim precedence over thus in the
stability of banking investments, the safety Of such
institutions, OF the integrity of their management
and, am quite sure, that proposition from any
quarter to place this interest beyond the reach of
Legislative supervision, for any time whatsoever,
would be received with universal disfayOr and re-
monstranee.
1 have the honor to be, Sc,
Sincerely yours.

Letter AronA Hon. Daniel - Dickfnsens Of
New York;
Mr.. A. G. MEBulTT, the able and gallant stand
ard bearer Of the Democratic party in this floating
District, being desirous of obtaining information
from the most reliable sources with regard to the
practical operation Of he policy Of sabjecsng banS-
ing corporations legislative supervision aad cor
troll as advocated by the Democratic party Of this
State has written to several gentlemen of disliuc
ton in New York. inquring concerning the Bank
ing system of that State.
The letter from ex President fillmore in reply
to Mr. MERRlTr's Communication, has already been
laid before our readers. We are permitted this
mOrniag to publish letter the same subject
from Hon. DANIEL s. DIoKISsos. whose long ex-
perieuee aud eminent ability as a a statesman, en-
titles his views to very great weight and cOnsiera-
ton.
The facts sslied in this communication have al
ready been given to readers in the srticles we
have published on Repealable Charters. We have
here, however, condensed in brief space the whole
history of the origin AMI operation of principle
which has been adopted with the most beneficial re-
cults in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, aud the
other great commercial States
| The greater portion of the banking capital in the
Uni,ed States snow invested in corporations which
are subject ioamsndment and repeal, at the pleas
ure of the peoples representatives.
In New York, the system of repealable corpora
tiOns was frs! adopted in 1927 and has been con-
tinued ever since, the principle being incorporated
in the general banking Law.
This general Law was adopted, as Mr.. DICKINSON
informs u.s. on account of the numerous applca-
tions for bank charters which eagerly sought,
notwithstanding he Legislature retained, and had
actually exercised, in several cases. its right of
pelling such charters. So beneficial, however, had
this policy proved in protecting the people from
wrong, that clause was introduced into the
Constitution of New York, in 1916, declaring
that all acts of Incorporation should be subject
TO modification or repeal, and the sams provision
| was embodied in the general banking law.
Mr.. DiCKINsoS's testimony aeeords with the uni
versal experience Of those States which have tested
the policy of repeslable corporations. In every
State where the system has been adopted hs result
has been greater stability of banking invest
mens" increased security to the creditors of those
Institutions aud greater 'integrity in their manage
ment,' and so marked have been the benefits o.
the system, that ga proposition from anyquarter t.
place the banking interest beyond the reach Of Lee
gislstive supervision, for any time whatsoever
would be received With universal disfaVor and re
monstrancs:"

7aeHt. DANIEL WEBSTER.
Hear, oh ye wOrshippers of the great WEBsrERl
AMI then see whether the doctrine enunciated by
Gen. CAssis an innovation on the established usages
of the government. :" First pluck the mote oct of
your own eye, before you pull the beam out of the
eye of thy brother"
Here is an extract from the scholarly pen of Ed
WARD EVERETT, addressed to our Minister at Ber-
lin, Jan. IA, 1858:
"If, then, Prussiar subject born and living under
this state of law, chooses to emigrate 10 foreign
country without obtaining the certificate which
alone discharge him from the obligation of mill
tary services, be takes that step at his own risk
lie elects to go abroad under the burden of a duty
which he owes to his government. His departure is
of the nature of an escape from her laws and if
return to his native country, he csnnyt c5mIiln if
those lsSs executed to his disadvantage. His
resembles that of soldier or sailor enlisted
by conscriptiOn or other compulsory process in the
army navy. If he should desert the service Ct
his country, ard thereby render himself amenabls
to military law, no one would expect that he could
return to his native land aud bid defiance its laws
because in the meantime he might have become
naturalizsd citizen of foreign State"
These letters show the dilemma in which the OPP
position place themselves. II they claim to be old
Wings, they stand in direct oppo itiOn to the ma.
tured opinion of WEBSTER and EVERETT. If, on the
other hand, they say in 1856, that they belong
a party which has risen on 'the ruins of the Wing
party" then they show duplicty AMI want of sin
cerity which will never deceive the intelligent for
eigner. Foreigner! Remember that the present
Opposition party is the same party which in 1855
drove you from the ballot-box, and would have
driven you in disgrace from your adopted country.
Listen not TO their fItteries. Yhey court you but
