Comparative Condition of the Banks of New Orleans
the last Saturdays of the month of April, 1883.
1880 and 1a6n.

From the above figures it will be seen that the
Indebtedness of our community to the banks is 80
get more than it was two years ago. The ques-
ton may well be propounded, !" has the business
Of our city increased so Oct within two years ~
With two large and fruitful crops Of cotton, our
opinion is that we de not make as strong show as
ought to follow two prolific seasons. The banks
owe to the public at this time in immediate cash
demands $33 ,02s, 297 against s36343,l 26 for the
same time last year, and s24s9l ,342 at the same
time in 1858, or two years ago. Though they owed
more last year. they had over $3,500,00o more coin
on hand to meet such indebtedness.
The movement of the banks last week shows
that they have been, particularly the four old
banks, working down very closely on line; SO have
two or three other banks. But that is neither here
nor there; il the laws of commerce, finance and
trade do not encourage specie to seek their vaults,
why it cannot be helped to conform to our bank
statutes, and the community or members thereof
must govern themselves accordingly.

but not ia substance, defining the right Of
protection to Slavery in the Territories, and
the remedy, in ease the Territorial Leglsla-
turc and the Judiciary were unable to afford
it, by Congressional legislation. 4 long
and animated debate followed the report, in
which majority Of those presnt participated.

Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1860-07-21

One of the most serious allegations made
against the institution of slavery is, that it is
corrupting the country and undermining repub.
lican institutions 1t has turned Virginia and
the democratic party against the doctrines
of Washington and Jefferson. 1t sneers at
the Declaration OF Independence, and says,
its self-evident truths arc "selfevident
lies" or "glittering generalities," Or more
dreams of fanatcism. 1t outlaws, and
expels from federal favors and honors, every
man who is suspected OF earnest faith in those
doctrines We have in such men as Mr..
Charles O'Conner of New York, very convinc-
ing illustrations of the corrupting influence
of any political association with slavery,
Mr. O'Connor, being modern demo
crat, and having regard for logical consist
ency, maintains that slavery is right. And he
adds, in letter to the New York Breckenridge
NEE ting, that, if slavery is wrong, then
"no honest man ought to desire the permanent
cy of the republic" Washington. Jefferson,
Adams, and others like them, held that
slavery was wrong; and yet they estab.
lished the republic. Nobody suspects that
Mr.. O'Connor, snd others like him, will
ever become as wise and great as they
were. Those great men, while founding
our institutions, did not dream that any man
tanning that slavery is right, or that it should
be made permanent institution. Who will
pretend that slavery does not corrupt men!

ROASTING COL. SMART.

One of the speakers at the Douglas demon
stration in Boston, was Col. L. X. Smart of
Maine. This Col Smart is democratic poll
tician of considerable experience. He was a
vehement pro-slavery man and became collec-
tor of customs at Belfast; and to keep that
office, he upheld Buchanan and his Lecomp
ton-Kansas villany. Being out of office and
not exactly in the sunshine of presidential
favor, he is now a Douglas man and also
a candidate for the office of governor of
Maine. Col. Smart is one of those politi-
clans who have a tremendous development of
the gift of Boosting. He would boast of abili-
ty to carry Maine, and not only Maine, but al
so the whole country, for Douglas, even if he
knew that Mr.. Douglas had no likelihood of
securing single electoral vote. In his Bos-
ton speech, the other day he boosted in strong
words, and with much emphasis, that Maine
would be carried for Douglas. He was sure
of it; he knew it; and he benevoenty urged
the republicans to take notice that the cars
were coming, and to prepare for complete
humiliation. Such men are amusing, and
should be patronized Those who may be in.
clined to suppose that Col Smart means what
he says, when he makes such boasts, should
endeavor to become better acquainted with
him. He owns a newspaper in Maine, called
the Rockland Democrat, and he is accustomed
to boast in its columns just as he boasts in his
speeches. In 1856, when Mr.. Hamlin was the
republican candidate for governor of Maine,
this Boosting Mr.. Smart spoke in the Rockland
Democrat, as follows =
'Shall we succeed? Yes, We shall 1t has
been ascertained by personal canvass, and
by facts and figures that cannot lie. We are
sure of it, and we announce it, that there need
not be any more doubts on the part of our
friends. Hamlin will be beaten by over five
thousand majority. This being settled, we
know of no reason why we should withhold
the fact from our readers"
So he boosted and protested TO knov what
was coming. And yet Mr.. HamIin ives elect
ed by nearly twenty thousand majority. 1t is
not well to repeat such things too often.

gentlemen of this city who saw the phenomena
at nearly the same time, one of them while

the other from Leicester, speak ofthe spectacle

and flying with great rapidity in northeast
