MISSOURI STATE SCR1P-ANoTHER OF JACK
SONS FRAups. The St. Louis Democrat says
Governor Jackson, in aggravation Of his other
ipiouities, has been practicing deliberate
fraud on his own friends. He has been issuing
| State scrip for stores and provisions wherewlth
| to feed and clothe his deuded followers he
| has induced many persons in the western por-
ton of the State to accept the scrip III place OF
| money. We know of no law which empowers
| him to make or issue scrip. When, therefore,
| we reflect that it is only his political frieDds
| who would be likely to sell him anything, the
baseness of his conduct stands forth in high re-
! lief He knows that such paper is mere trash'
| and will never be redeemed.
