Gov Harris and the Currcncy.

The Memphis Appeal reports Gov.
Harris as saying in his late speech in
that city that soon after he had enter
ed upon his term of office, COM
mercial Revision had taken place,
which had been produced, as he be-
lieved, by an extravagant system Of
bank credits, resulting in the pros.
lration of business. He h ID recon-
mended, aud the Legislature bad
substantially adopted,a system Of re.
iorms, of which We had just seen the
first fruits. There was now more
coin in circulation than ever before
in this State, and for the first sine
Exchanges are in favor Of Tennes-
see. Tennessee bonds are no lou
ger peddled about the markets of
the world at from 60 to rs cts. but
the reforms adopted had raised the
price Of bonds to "a cts, with IN up
ward tendency ardacertainty OF being
at par. Our oyertrading had shocked
the confidence Of the world, and the
check given to this oyertrading, by
these reforms, has brought about Ibis
improvement.
The Democratic party are pledged
TO carving forward these reforms
and to throwing such restrictions u.
round every bank as shall make the
note holder safe. They were pledged
not to consent TO the re-chGrter G
any bank without the additional con.
dition that the Legislature shall re.
serve the power to change, modify OIL
abolish the charters Of these institu.
tons whenever the public good shal
demand. Just here was the differ.
cree between his position and that o.
his competitor. His competitor does
not agree to the reservation of such
Ia power, and Processes not to uuder
stand his position, but, he believed
because he did not wish to do so, a:
|any man who would listen to hin
could do, beyond the possibility Q.
misapprehenslon.
He was OF posed to re-eDacting any
bank charter now in existence in Ten
nessee-and why? Because thl
charters are not sufficiently guarded
He was equally opposed to re.char
tering any Of the existing backs, OF
Of chariering any new banks upor
the terms of the charters that have
heretofore been granted. But, if The
present corporators, or othcrs desire
and have no objection to ehartering
them upon the restrictions in The

supervisors to control aud check thei1
Operations, and the reservation Of tb,
right Of the State to alter or abolish
their charters, be should in,erpost
no opposition, provided the time hat
arrived to supply such charters
His doctrine is, LET the people have
the power--it is a safe depository
The Legislature possesses the powe
to change the law in reference to tht
life. liberty and property of the citi
zen, and should equally have thu
power to reach the bank parlor.

The winter of the Heart.

Let 1t never come upon you Live so that
good angels may protect you from this tefri>
bic evil-the winter of the heart.
Let ochlliing influence freeze up the foun-i
tain of sympathy and happiness from its
depths no cold burthen settle over its with>
cred hopes, like snow on the faded flowers
no rude blasts of discomfort moan and shrek
throug its desolate chambers. -
Your life path may lead you amid trials
which for time seem entirely to impede your
progress. and shut out thevery light of heaven
from your anxious gaze.
Penury may take the place of easeRud plen-
~. your luxurious homes may lie EXCHANGED
for a single, Iowly room-the soft couch for
the straw pSllet-lhe rich viauds for the course
food of the poor. Summer friends may for
sake you, and the IMPLYING world pass you
with scarcely ID wcrd of compassion.
You may be forced to toll YEARLY, steadily
on, to earn livelihood you may encounter
fraud and bssa Gvarice, which would extort
the last farthiug. till you we'll nigh turn in
disgust from your fellow beings
Death may sever the dear ties that bind you
to earth, and leave you in fearful darkness.
The noble, manly boy, the sole hope Of
your declining years, may be taken suddenly
from you, while yosr spirit clings to him with
wild tenaoity, which even the shadow of the
tomo cannot wholly subdue.
But amid all these cad trials and sorrows,
do not come to the conclusion that nobody
WAS ever 30 deeply afflicted as you are, and
abandon every sweet anticipation of 'better
days" in the unknown future.
Dc not lose your faith in human excellence
because your confidence has been betraye ed,
nor believe that friendship is only delusion,
and love a bright phantom which gldes away
from your grasp.
Do not think you are fated to be miserable
because you are disappointed in your expeo-
tations and baf1ed in your pursuits. Do not
| declare that God has fortaken you when your
way is hedged with thorns, or repine siufulty
when He calls your dear ones to the land be-
youd the CRATE.
Keep holy trust in heaven through every
trial; bear adversely with fortitude, and look.
upward in hours of temptation aud suffering,
When your locks are white, your eyes dim
and your limbs weary, when your steps falte,
on the verge of Deaths gloomy vale, still! re-,

which will shield you from the wiutor of the
