NATIONAL BANKS.

National Banks whenever and
wherever established, are always made
the instruments of corruption. Under
the old system Of Banking in this
country, our free Government began
to feel seriously its contaminating
influence, and v hen during the admin
istration of General Jackson, the peo.
became aroused upon that subject, led
on by that honest and incorruptable
man, they wiped out that spurious
system, which then as now and m nst
ever, tend to corrupt any people, who
are struggling. to establish or perpet>
uate republican government
After the Government Of the United
State had annihilatel National Banks,
and declared against class legislation and
gigantic monopolies, ,our people fourished
beyond parallel ID the history of civil
government, and without let or hinder
.ence, we marched on to greatness, to the
astonishment of the civilized world.
until the time when We were oyertakeu
by the disasters of internal strife.
which shook it % Its very center our
great superstTaeture of human liberty
Time rolled on, and the laundering
of million cannon loaded by and fred
at brothers, had died away and the
smoke of the bloody battle field had
gene, and the atmosphere once more
clear, it was discovered that the servants
OF the party in power, had been un-
crupulously taking advantage of their
position, while the attention of the
people, their constituents, was wholely
engrossed in the war, and had been
fastening upon them among other
bad institutions, the old system of
national banks, or what is equivalent
thereto the present banking system
Now we claim this was done by corrupt
men for corrupt purposes, and for the
special benefit Of the few to the great
and manifest injury of the people al
large. BY this system as inaugurated
and carried out, the very few upon
whom fortune has smiled, are made
and constituted privileged characters
to the great detrilnent of the masses
and working people, who are the bone
and snew Of any country.
If an individual at the present time
in this country, has accumulated bonds
of the Government to the amount oi
one hundred thousand dollars, no mat
ter what they cost, in many cases
perhaps not more than fifty per cent
he is priviledged, and he is authorized
by a law of Congress, passed by the
Republican party, to deposit those
bonds with the Government and draw
his interest on them semi-annually
from the Government in gold coin
What next ? The Government then
agrees, simply because the more able tC
own the bonds, to give him ninety
tn h}usand dollars TO take home with
him, establish bank, loan out the
money,if in Oregon at twelve pei
cent, and speculate upon it as Ions
and as much as he pIeases, and the
Government stands good for every

A WOMAN FOR THE TIHEs.-A young lady
of Bambere, S. g., has cultivated twenty-five
acres of cotton during the past spring and
summer with no other assistance than one
negro Girl. whom she hired for the year for
fifty-six dollars. The young lady did the
boeing while the girl did the ploughing. The
ground was MANFRED with four tons OF
Wando fertilizer, and it is estimated will
Weld twelve bales of cotton, six of which
have already been received by Messrs. Keeder
& Davis, factors, of this city. In addition to
the cotton the young lady will make an
abundance of corn, peas, and potatoes, ana
enough sugar and syrup to last her for three
years. She Is only nineteen years of age, anu
this is her first attempt TO make crop.

GROWTH OF CoRALs.-An interesting fact
has recently been observed respecting the
growth of corals. Somewhat less than TWO
years ago, Captain McGregor, of the steamer
Klnuea, inoored buoy in kealakekua Bay.
Last week he was ordered to hoist the anchor ;t,,
and examine the condition Of the chain. Inc
latter, which Is heavy. two-iI,ch cable; Was
found covered with corals and oyster shells'
some of which arc rs large as man ; manu- i:
The larger corals measure four ana ma, l,ai.
inches in length, which represents t ,,at
growth during the period of two years and'
the anchor assd cable had been suhmerseu.
The specimen which we have seen SHOWS vs. t u;
nature of its formation by the little coral IN
sects more distinctly than any we nave De-
fore examined. When taken out of the wa
ter it had small crabs on it. A query arises
whether these crabs live OH the coral insects,
or whether they simply seek the branches OF
the coral for protection. The popular sup
position is that corals are Of extremely SLOW
growth. Here we have formation equal 10
more than seventeen feet in ccntury.-Ho'
noluiu Gazette.
