States hare no complaint to nsaks. They hasa
got their just proportion and just rights in all
the Territories Of the United etatea. Hecohld
not conceal his surprise that the Senator from
Kentucky denied al the positions he had as.
sumed- The Senator, after saying that II the
border slave States could not gSt one Of the
propositions laid down by him, and having
insisted that there WAS no hope in this par
hcular, remarked, "that Kentucky, from
mountain peak to mountain peak, and
from every valley and smiling plain, would
ring forth the cry ofjnatice and equality. His
{Mr: Douglass object WAS to demonstrate that
there was no caNse fef such action. and that
hentucky has justice and equality in the ter
T ntosies according to the tests prescribed BY
the Senator himself, f,and that there Is an eqults~
PIE division on the line Of 81, half degree fur
ther Sunth than Mt. Crittenden's proposition
claimed, The Senator from Kentucky had
not attempted to disprove this. he was too
prudent to make the attempt, but he knew the
territories Of Colorado, Nevada and Darotah
had been organized on the basis Of, the Kan
sas-N Nebraska bill. AL these territories were
organized on the principle of on-interYention
by Congress, leaving the people to decide the
slavery question as they pleased, subject only
TO the limitation of the Constitution, and ieay-
ing the country to ascertain what the lfu1itz-
tIon IS. This is all the South have ever asked.

vuR ILLINOIS HANKS.


Tue rnxrro1s HANKS.
a wsexnected, considerable excitement
xr., not;ced Yesterday oger the wholesale
s1snehter Of our Illinois banks thatiwas
.raade On Saturday evening. But all things
considered, our people genera1Iy behaved
with admirable coolness There was not
thst Wild rush, often Witnessed at such
times, of servant eirls and labore1s to the
bankers with their little all to be made still
sadly les. by the shaving process. Nobody
should beS1srmhed, fur the money viii eoon
be batter. sone Of 1t viii he made good;
and none Of it is likely to be any worse
m. T,ancaster Bank has been made good
tc4iay., and others will probably put up
>sscnrities within q week OF two.
We ara wsu aware that in advising our
-.a;4,.. !, son-;f,ce their money aow,
- ar.. as.nm;pp yery grave responsi-
a,51;.v Al shonld understand that it is
ba.ed m the snpnosition that onr national
.afFa;rs ia mot become rrry materially
.,a,se: Should ne, by some unforeseen
:, e,,a,t 1,a.one involved in general waJ,
an valnes will for 3 time, at least, become
nominal, and our entire banking:svstem
rvnn,d fall it Is :honed to rise no more,
Aeainst such q contingency nobody can
nrny;de. Our nriincipa1 reason fol believing
that several Of the rejected banks will be
made pood. ia tfe necessitv that will yery
soon be f;onn0 for currency.
Nv the report of the Hon. 8. A. Hurlbut,
Chairman Of the Bank Committee, to the
last Legislature, It appears that the entire
rirrs,lation IF the hanks of Illinois. on the
81st of January last was S12, ,s2o, ,o94. At
that time the circulation Of the banks now
in. the rejected list was ,s5. $685. 0o2. and
aince then there has BEEN nearly if not
uuite 3 million Of currency withdrawn;
and the honds sold tn make exchange,
According II, this we have now something
1as. than s;r millions of mar crrrencv in The
stste: Hence ue ,doubtg not. the owners
ofxhe hest os ;the rejected banks will make
the;r securities uood At an early dav.. The
11usiness of the State will. undonbte edIy,
furnish nrofitahle EMPLOYMENT for IRON
air IN e;pht millions of currency. Hence.
the Owners will he likely to make
vigorous efforts to retain their charters, for
when the banks are once wound up, there
wyfll be 10 resurrection for this species of
wild cat"
