Three bold articles have appeared in the
Daily .Nems denouncing the military tri-
bunal rs set of murderess and proposing
to prosecute and Gf convicted) to hang

for relieving the South: "Let the Leyisla-
ture (say of South Carolina) abolish the
'isury law, or at least insomuch as to allow
capitalists to loan money to the planters
on mortgages, charging something more
than the estab b!lshed rate Of interest. This
Will be an lnducement to Northern capi,

suggesteth the "6nancier;" but there is
little draw back which is this, :here is no
Legislature in existence, and so relief must
come from another quarter.

troubled in mind on account of their
having anything over that amount should
rellevc their apprehensions by sending the
surplus to "Pendennis," who will receive
it to oblige them.
