The NATIONAL Currency Act.

A Democratic friend, rrofessedy so at least
finds fault with US for publishing some articles
criticizing unfavorably the national currency act
His argument is, that we must have a paper
banking system, that it is a necessary evil hence
there should be no opposition to the proposed
national banking scheme which received the
sanction OF Congress at its last session We
make no var upon individuals who NAV engage
ia the business of banking under that Law. but
We oppose the system as ut war with every prin-
ciple Of sound political economy The Democ-
racy, under tile lead Of Jackson, made war
against national banking system not only

and overthrow public liberty, but a

To meet with prostrating reaction. The 6nan

tial the soap buildings blown from pipe. Is

experience of the past two years has proven the
