The Democratic Platform against all
Hanks.

From the Memphis Avalanche, May goth.
That is boldly and honestly spoken. There
is no equivocation or attempt to shuttle and
twist aud put two faces on the policy the De-
mocracy intend to pursue in reference to the
banks.
The above is the language of the Bulletin in
reference to our article of Tuesday on the
subject of the re-charter of the Union and
Planters Banks. We acknowledge the com
pliment it conveys, and, as it is a fixed priu-
ciple of ours never " to shuttle and twist and
put two faces on the policy" that either we
or the Democracy intend to pursue in refer
ence to the banks or any other subject, we
can safely say that our neighbor will often
find occasion to repeat what he has said OF us
in the paragraph quoted. But he might haze
said the same thing Of our Democrotic cotenlpord-
ries, Of our CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR, and Of
The Democratic party generally. They all stand
with US upon the platform adopted at Nash
Vile, aud, in our Judgment. the policy there
laid down cannot be misapprehended or mis-
understood. II (the pl1tforn) does Rot eonteI-
plate The reretcal Of single bank charter IN 7eB.es
see, but il says should it ever become neces-
sary TO charter other banks. "a necessity
which we do not believe will ever arise it
shall only be done with the reservation To the
people OF the power to change, modify, or
abolish them whenever the public good may
demand.

has no means TO buy with; he must wait till
the gold is returned from New York. During
the interval. the farmer who has not sold,
whatever may be his necessities, must wait
the transportation of the wheat of his neigh
Dor who sold first, and the return of the
specie. This would open the door to re-
serve corps of monied sharpers and shavers.
They would wait till they canght the farmer
in the market with his produce, without the
ability to sell, and then pounce upon him,
and grind him down to the lowest possible
"dust." The doubt would be, whether a re-
gular and fair dealer could exist at all, or
whether the entire farming interest would not
fall into the clutches of sharpers and Shy
locks. While the price of produce would
necessarily he lowered by an insufficient sup
ply Of specie. it would be still further re-
duccd, in the hands of the beartless hoarders
of capital. His property would become the
sport of spectators, and his industry go to
enrich others. Under these conditions, his
land will fall in price, and the aggregate
wealth of the State be brought down to an
unjust and ruinous standard. Immigration
would be materially checked, while emigra-
ton would receive new impetus Sons OF
Tennessee would be forced TO seek their for
tunes in other States, and the citizens of other
States uWaald avoid this as blighted spot.
The development of our resources would be
slow and difficult, our enterprise, instead of
being stimulated tc healthful and vigorous
action, would be stifed and discouraged at
every step, and we should fall behind all our
neighbors in the highway of prosperity and
greatness.
We invite the farmers to scrutinize these
facts and weigh these arguments. If they
are untrue or fallacious, discard them, but if
they are unimpeachable and sound. we in
woke the people to accept them, and put the
seal Of their condemnation upon the effort
which is now being made TO crush their inter
ests, in August.

A. G. SHREWSBURY, Eso.--We are gratified
to announce to our friends that the above
gallant leader of the hosts of Wings in old
Henderson. at the earnest solicitation of bis
friends, has consented TO run for representa-
tive in his county. This viii be gratifying to
his political friends at a distance, as it is to
those of Henderson. for all who know the
man are well apprised of the fact that when
he canvasses his old county she never fails TO
roll up heavy increase for our ticket. Mr..
SHREWSBURY has often been in the Legisla-
ture. and always welded a great influence
in shaping the Legislation of the State. He
is strong mana clever mana conserva-
tive man-just such man every voter in
Henderson might well feel proud OF as Rep
resentative.-Jactsoa Wing.

rs reliable working man.
Mr.. u. b. THOMAS, 81 Haywood, was also
presented for the nomination by his friends,
and his claims urged with great force. lie Is
an excellent young man--oi superior talents,
and has come into public notice by intrinsic
merits. having made himself by his own in-
domitable energy and perseverance,. "He

The Convention adjourned. leaving fine
state of feeling, and bright prospects ahead.

THE WEATHER AND THE CRoPs.-The wea-
Their of the past week has been warm and 'di-
versifed' with two or three storms of rain. but
the corn and cotton crops are growing off
finely. Better stands of cotton were never
before seen in this region. From the wheat
crop we hear much complaint. In addition
to the rust and blight, of which we spoke
last week, we are now told that the ears Of
wheat are shorter and every way less fully
developed than usual. The general impress
sion is, so far as we have inquired, that this
crop will be exceedingly short-Qmd Nuac,

THE WHEAT CROP.-We are satisfied from
observation that the wheat crop of this Sec
ton will not be above half one, if it reaches
that point. On some of the very best lands
it will not average more than five or six
bushels to the acre, and onmany of the thinner
lands, from present indications it will hardly
pay for harvesting having been first dam
aged by the fly and subsequently, by the
frost.-1Atiens Post, 10Th.
