ILLINOIS BANKS.

We again call tho attention Of our
readers to the condition Of the abomin-
able monicd Institution Of Illinois. jus
tice saws, that the State Of Illinois
should be prosecuted and made to pay
for every cent Of damage sustained by
the people, for allowing the existence
Of such swin,llin~ corporations. But
law SAYS differently, and the people
must bear it.
We clip the following list from a late
number Of the Chicngo Tribune, omit
ting the column of "Present value OF
securities" Multiplying the c%ircula-
ton Of each bank above par by its val
he on the dollar. will give very near it's
presen. valueSof securities in cents:
"In order that cur readers may have
all the facts we can gi.e them in regard
to the condition Of our Illinois Banks,
we repnhlish from the report of Hon.
S. 4. Hurlbut, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Banks and Corporations, the
list of all the banks with the amount of
| circulation and the value per dollar on
the 3lst Of January last. Business men
and all others would do well to cut it
out and paste it up for c~onveniet refer
ence. We need scarcely hint that
those who wish to "keep money in their
pockets" will select the bills of the
banks with the significant word "par''
instead of some rate Of discount attach

Rad FOR THE DEMOCRACY

We have frequently charged that the
strife Of the Democracy for office, was
not impelled on their part by any de-
sire that the best men should be placed
in ofiisc, nor alone that their principles
should be carried ont, but rather 4 de-
sire for the spoils Of Office. We have
another demonstrative proof Of this
fact in the late election in North Caro-
lima by the people, for q Convention to
take into consideration the propriety of
seeding aud joining the Southern Con-
fcderacv. 1t was we'll understood by
the people q that State that If the Con-
,%cntion was voted down, no secession
act would be passed, and the State re-
main III the Union. And 80 the issue
was reduced to Secession or Union, the
result Of which was favorable to the
latter. In looking over the vote. it is
found that a large majority of those
counties which gave 4 majority for
Polk for President was carried bv the
Secessionists, while n large majority of
the counties that gave Clay 4 majority
for President was carried bv the Union
or anti Secession men. Who now is
loyal, and in whose ranks has the spirit
Of Secession been lurking for years ?
Answer yc bowling Democrats from
the pit Of your abomination.
