Another FaIsehood Nailed.

Dental nomination on the Douglas ticket. This
is weak attempt Of the boilers to get their
champion into decent political affiation. We
elnphatically deny that my such offer was
made-that anybody had authority to make it.
The fanatic disunionist was never invited to
disgrace the Democratic ticket by having his
nalnc printed on it. There is no foundation
for such rumor; and the author of it whoev-
er he be, while evidently sharing in the desire
for decent association he wishes to push his
chief into, nullifes the attempt by the untruth
with which he makes it.
We call upon the "Constitution" to correct,
the falsehood.
The Washington States and Union," from
which we clip the above, undertakes to
contradict statement about which il is en-
tircly ignorant. Mr.. Yancey scus ceyered tie
lice Presidency on the DOuglaa ticket, and
the deliberate contradiction by the Washing
ton "Stateg and Union Of that about which
it knows nothing, exhibits q hardihood and
rccklessness on the part Of that journal which
is almost as bad as deliberate falschood.
in public speech in Richlnond,an and afterwards
reiterated in nm editorial in this paper, was
founded upon the word Of Virginia delegate
in whose presence and hearing the offer was
made.
The contradiction bv the States and Union
is worthless, since it can know nothing Of the
facts Of the case. We therefore, !riterate the
statement made in our editorial OF the llth
inst.-the contradiction by the Estates and
Union" to the contrary notwithstanding.

"SrRlsoEycY IN THE MONEY MARKET. This
is the cry ne invariably hear whenever Bank
Presidents and Directors begin an abridgment
of their usual moneyed accommodation to the
people. That such policy is narro~ed-minded,
short.siehted, and tends more than anything
else to bring on panic, no one can doubt. 1t
is not alone IN Richmond that the Banks, I'm
view of the alarming condition of the country,
have determined to suspend discountng until
future results shall be developed
The course of the Banks is unwise and un-
lust to those Of their customers who, on the ialtf
of their implied promises to accommodate the
public. have been induced to make contracts
and engagements, the power TO comply win
which the Banks are now, by stopping thell
discounts, endeavoring to deprive them Of y
number Of men will, of course, come up short
and those to whom they are under obligations
will, in turn, be reduced to great pecuniary in
convenience In word, it is hard, II not lni
possible to foretel the end OF this beginning
We have often heard that corporations hat
no souls, and We presume of oil corporation:
hanks have the smallest modicum Of that ethe
rial essence, SO called.
We clip the above from the local column o
the Examiner" To avoid any erroneous
impression Us to the condition Of the Richmon'
Banks, we have made enquir,r 9nd are author
lied, by the officers Of the t'.'f larger banks
to say that the amount of ''1,colnt has no
becn curtailed in the least :; gree, but is Il
present larger than on the Of September
While this is the condition ii the Richmon
banks, there is ''stringvucy in the none
market" produced, not by the "a'a1lnlng col
dition Of the country but by over.trade, ia'
ure of crops, and circumstances not under on
political influence whatever. The people hav
spent more than they lave made, and the dl
ference has to be paid in coin, an hence IN
"stringcncY in the money market
The alarming condition of the country
has nothing whatever to IL with the preseI
"stringency in the money market
