naE- AS the timc approachcs when the Legisla

nsSg- As the time approaches when the Legisla-
ture will have to do, on the Bank question, the
democratic organs are beginning to define their
positions with an eye to such action and to climb
down from their hard money abstraction. The
Union and American speaking of the uneasiness of
the public mind on the subject of the fate of the
Banks, says:
The alarm we have alluded to might have been
seen to be utterly groundess by those who examin-
ed our platform, from which il will be seen that
attack on existing banks is intended but number
Of salutary restrictions calculated to increase the
public confidence in any banks whose business is
transacted upon sound basis and only to injure
such as are rotten in their financial condition.
This outgiving amounts to nothing more than
a declaration that democracy stands upon
the Opposition platform, so far as the curren-
cy is concerned and that their intention is only to
reform, not to destroy, the banking system. But
rs if to make more apparent the absurdity of a
metallic currency, contended for by a very large
proportion of the democratic party, the Union and
American takes especial pains to characterize the
idea as an abstract doctrine, and deprecate the
"vndictive and irritable tone in which the Banks
were spoken of by democratic candidates:
But we have said that Democratic speakers and
writers have in some instances given ground for
alarm by their way Of expressing themselves, and
that not only by dwelling too exclusively upon the
abstract doctrine of metallic currency without
sufficient notifications to adapt their views practic
ally to existing circumstances but also by speaking
of the Banks in vindictive and irritable tone as il
they were to be treated enemies by the Demo
cratic party.
Put the two paragraphs together, as they appear
in the Union and American, and say if you can
what the Legislature is going to Go with the Banks
The people have elected a majority of democrats
and for their lives they can't say what that major
ity is pledged to do after a long and heated can
vass of which Banks were the leading issue.

Bay The trite adage that when rogues fall out,
honest men may get their rights is brought to mind
by reading the following extract of late speech of
Senator Broderick, of California against his collea
que Senator Gwin:
81 accuse him Of having supported the Thirty
Million Secret Fund Bill when he knew II was the
intention to use that money as corruption fund, in
der to carry the merit Presidential election either to
elect Jimmy Buchanan, or Mr.. Slidell of Louisiana,
with whom he co-operated in the U. s. Senate"
When the Opposition press denounced the Thirty
Million bill as a corrupt scheme to control the next
Presidential election the democratic leaders affected
to be indignant at such charge against a measure
which they claimed to be wise and patriotic
movement towards the acquisition of Cuba But it
appears now, upon high democratic authority, that
the construction put upon it by the Opposition is
the true one and democratic q. S. Senator boldly
asserts that such was the intention of the BILL and
charges another democratic Senator with having
supported it-knowing such to be the case When
democratic President is so debased as to attempt
to obtain corruption fund.- under false pretences
and democratic L. S. Senators are base enough tc
aid him in that attempt it is time the people were
looking into the character of their officers and en-
quirng how the vast revenue of the country is ex.
pended.

be-. The Avdlanche is for 10 Lane for President.
Among the small potatoe politicians 10 is about
good as any, and as entire stranger to the great
mass of the American people he may be quite avail
able. The less democrat is know, the better his
chances for Office because like the bank question in
Tennessee he can be represented as for or against
any and everything, to suit any and every locality.
Talking of candidates for the Presidency reminds
us of very significant fact to which public atten-
ton ought to be directed. Since the days of Jack
son, and for nearly quarter of century, the dem
ocras have nominated but one southern man for the
Presidency and he signed the Wilmot Proviso. Now
if the southern democrats the peculiar guardians
of southern rights how does it happen that they so
uniformity select northern man as The custodian of
those rights? There is trick in it which the people
oughtto look into and expose and denounce. The
trick is to nominate northern man to get northern
votes knowing that southern democrats can be made
to vote the printed ticket and by this trick, the
leaders secure the spois and the followers laugh
ed at for their tame subservency and excessive gull
lbty. Are there no southern democrats that can
be trusted where the rights of the South involv
ed? Yes but northern democrats don't like them,
and the southern wing must magnanmousy yield
the point for the sake Of the party and the spos.
Is Sieve Douglass better southern man than K. NJ
! T. Hunter? or 10 Lane than James Guthrie? Ger
tany not; but northern reesoilers will not vote for
them, and as the democratic party fights for plum
der instead of glory it would be political suicide to
nominate southern man. In this ignominous
Al. 4. IL -
run down the game for the leaders who the lions
and who feast upon the flesh and leave the bones to
be picked by their half starved pack of followers
It's in this way that the South is dishonored, its
rights violated and the Union endangered.
