MONTICELLO, Cowlitz Co., Washington D
Territory, Jan. l, 1861.
Politically, the aspect Of affairs here is encouraging
to Republicans. Our principles they better
dersood, gain converts steadily. In this county, for
years strongly and constantly Democratic, we, at the
last election routed the enemy signay that, what
with their subsequent engagements upon questions of
national poilcs, they will scarcely ever be able TO
present formidable front again upon the zane or sin-
lar issues. The Douglas men here, as IN oregon,
openly their preference for Lincoln over bsek-
nidge. II is highly probable that we shn re aos 10
elect the delegate Congress-eersiniy te he-
publican party will be in strong majority here loig

aprendage Of the wealthier and more popuous cont

is only too evident that, unless an entirely different

Tie features of the Bank Statement are much the
same as was anticipated. The loans have been con-
tracted slghuy by the redemption of loan certificates
which are now only $2,2500OO while the specie and
deposits show an expansion Of about $2,5CO,OOO, both
being higher than before. But for the wants Of
the General Government, which VIII be steadily draw
ing on the bank vaults should undoubtedly, during
the Summer, up to 100000 600 of specie reserve
The present general contraction of busnefs and un-
willingness to make new engagements renders it Diff
cult for the banks to keep their loan lines full, even
with the assistance Of investments in Treasury Notes
The proportion Of specie to deposits is over 40 cent
and the aggregate exceeds $3s, 500, 600.
The following is n comparative statement of the con-
ition of the banks of New-York City Feb and
Feb. 10:
