In giving summary Of The Banners view on the
currency plank of the Democratic platform, we used
the following language:
Our neighbOrs of the Bdnaer have, as usuGl, two
sets of Independent and inconsistent opinions on
the currency Tlsnk in the Democratic platform. On
Friday they thong the soft element had prevailed.
On Saturday they considered it "a tissue of glitter
ing generaliliCs'" On Sunday they stated that the
s'meiallie currency men didn't take it, very 'phiIo-
sophieslly," but "muttered and locked unutersble
things" In the course IF their Sabbath reflections
on the subject, however, they concluded with some
reservations and qualifications, the bank resolution
will meet with universal approval" except among
the hard money missionaries"
In it's issue Of Sunday the Banner had said;
Wesay lift were not for these prefxed and affixed
indications of Imposition, what they say in regard TO
banks would meet with universal approval, except
among the metallic currency Missionaries.
While we did not profess to give the Banners ex-
act language, the passages marked as quoted in our
paragraph, are the identical words of the Banner,
except that "Will" is printed instead of would"
without, however, efectiug the sense. We only in
tended to give the general ideas conveyed and con
squsntly did not very carefully compare the Ian
Suaea OF our article with that of the Banner.
subsequent comparison, however, has convinced u.
that we have done no injustice to that Journal If
ether portions of is article convey different idea
from those 10 which referred it is only another
proof Of that Inconsistency which No had set
establish.
For the manner in which the Banner alludes 10
the 'qairnsss" Of our representations We neither
profess nor entertain the slightest respect 1t is
the subteruge Of inbecility when unable 10 sustain
itself BY argument.

last year. induced numerous adventurous persons IL
make pretty extensive Investments in ths article,
and to make shipments 70 this market, and New Or

of the anticipated scarcity. The result shows hat
this is sprety extensive country, and its agrcultu
raj resources varied and comprehensive. 1t will &c
be seem by referring to the letter Of our New Orleans
correspondent that the potato speculation, as far as
New Orleans is nsorned, at last, has turned out
rather unfortunate for the owners, dat boat loa

POVERTY AND RIcHEs.--It is truly said that no
man can tell whether he is rich poor by turning
to his ledger. 1t is the heart that makes man
rich He is rich or poor, according to what he is,
not according to what he has. A man to~day for
Instance, may have but ten, five, or two and half
dollars in his pocket; but TO morrow he may have
City thousand dollars; or its half or quarter. How
is this great change be wrought? the reader may
ask. Under ordinary circumstance, We would ats
swer by demanding with the question q fee; but We
will answer it without price this occasion Send
ten, five, or two aud half dollars TO WooD. EDDY s

you insure your chance of drawing the great prize
or its proportion You cannot, indeed to-day. tell
whether you are rich poor, By turning to your
ledger, but ny rtunats turn in the wheel OF fer

you may turn up tomorrow fifty thousand dollar

toward the attainment of so desirable an object ;
an object which has received the sanction and APP

as well as of eminent living statesmen
Every Democratic State Convention is pronoune-

The name Of the Republican member Of Congress
Who brought vith him to an evening party at The
house Of Dr.. Bailey, In Washington two negrossfrom
Jamaica, was Senator Seward. Many ladies were
present. The Washington correspondent Of the Kew
YcrA Hsrald thus alludes to il:
"He escorted theni from his own house; ard the
surprise may be imagined, when, aanked by gen,
teDan Of color either side he entered the saloon,
thus giving practical illustration OF his Rochester
theory, and significant admoaitiOn Of the society
Of black spirits and white that might be expected
under his admins ration, if Euch curse could be
inflicted on the country"
he adds that, even ultra Republicans, who were
present, we're disgusted with this bringing of ne.
