MONDAY, March %.
The election for Mayor still attracts at
ton,ion in Harrisburg. Roumfort's maj.
is, believe, 43-aud il is intended BY
some to contest his election on the ground
of fraudulent voting. The State Librar-
ian, School Superintendent, and other
Officers in power under Lincoln and Cur
tin, it is stated, could easily have elected
the Union candidate, and thus given .
mighty impetus towards National success,
from the Capital Of the State. 1t is
acknowledged by all that bad our party
began to work few days earlier, they
could have swept the city. We must porh;,
and organize so as to reach crery man, to
carry the Free States and save the Na-
tion.
Our friends in Lebanon and Esston
report that they carried those boroughs,
usually agaiust us, and that wherever they
WORKED intelligently and manfully, :hey
are encouraged by the result.
Re-charteriny Bmk,.-Iu the Senate,
the evening session was prolonged until
103 o'clock, upon a general discussion Of
the policy Of re-cbarteriDg banks. Sever
al of the very best banks in the State,
with charters yet covering two or three
years, are asking for re.charter of their
banks for terms Of Is TO 90 years. The
Senate Committee report them for five
years only. The policy is to bring sll
Banks to banking upon the U. s. stock
in other words, to make our national in
deb,edness the basis Of our currency for
many years to come.
This evening, Mr.. Lowry, (Rep.O Of
Erie said bis convictions Of our impolitic
system Of banking, and of the necessity Of
our saving the National credit, and thus sus.
tanning our National arms, compelled him
to vote against every extension Of Bank
charter on the old plan and hoped the
Governor woula veto every such bill.
Mr.. Kinsey (Dsm.) Of Bucks, argued
that the Banks had stood BY the Govern
ment, with most material aid, in her hour
Of peril, ana that the people-the most
loyal Of the people-wbile petitiouing for
rs-cbar.srs, had never sent one remon.
strapoe sgainst them.
Mr.. Wilson (Rep.) Of Tioga said no one
had peti.ioued tho Legislature in favor Of
the immigration Of negroes, yet Thousands
had demonstrated against it. The petitions
for these Banks were mostly from those
who had some sert of interest in them.
Here we're 20 4 25 Senators, each Of
whom had feelings for particular banks,
who would unite their votes for re-cbarter-
ing oil A.: whereas, were all these banks iu
one district, but few outside of that dis
trict would vote for them. If called to
speak upon the point his district would
almost unanimously demonstrate against
any except the Free Banking or the
National Banking system. He also
hoped the Governor would rise to the
occasion, and stop this mode of banking,
which could not be done too soon..
Mr.. M'Shsrry (Dem.) Of Adams dcfer-
ded the Bank Of Cbambersburg which had
the entire confidence of oil the community.
1t was argued 10y the same one) that the
too sudden changing Of the banking sys.
tenn, would create much confusion, and
rather embarrass the Government, BY tho
banks calling in oil their dues and in that
way be disadvantsgeous.
Mr. Turrcll (Rep.) Of Susquehsnna
Itated, that while be felt disiDclined to
'ote sgainst friends who represented good
Banks, yet be thought two or three years
efficient time for any or all Of them to
ettle up their affairs, and to prepare for
bat system of National Banking, which
10 deemed best, in oil respects.
On the final vote, the four Philadel.
hans, and five other Members voted
gsinst tie Bank, and 10 or 20 io its
.vor. Only tpo observation-disclosures Of
hilad. and Wallace Of Clearfield (where
Free Bsnk) voted againss the Bill.
o the Democracy is now TOTALLY reversed
ON iss ancient policy, and is the Bank
.rty! How changed is the Democracy

ID sgsinst Banks-now foremost for ,
avery, for Peace, aud for Banks! JEFF I
