nrnA-vi-iaw aiili atuwaaw
the late general assemblies! You rnn
Ibave '00 new useful bunks uudur preset) i
Mwf you can have none so long as ul
'Ira men are in power. And n lanjy n
you continue to aid then) with your in
:fluertfe and vot, tn long will your in
terestt wither and corruption strike deep
er into public morals: Men who will
not come out boldly and lake a Hand in
favor of good safe banks, unshackled by
the obnoxious features ol the present
banking laws, and against the ultra doc
trine of the tirno,are unworthy of your
vbta as freeman for any legislative of
fice; and if elected, wi I from choice, or
fear of the rod which altruism will hold
over their barks, do nothing towards re
itoring the currency 10 usefulness or the
people to prosperity !
That the principal allegations and
charge contained in this address may
not be misunderstood or overlooked, 1
will briefly repeat them:
11. That we have not now, neither,
eau we have for the present nge, a spe
cie currency sufficient for the wants of
the people.
2d. That bank paper is the beat and
almost the only admissible substitute for
specie; and that banks can be made good
utuful and safe e other human institu
tion, without the obnoxious feature
contained in the present law to regu
late them.
3d. That under those laws people will
not engage in banking; that they de
pres the interest ol the people, except
capitalists whose weath is in money, pol
iticiaos and a few others; and have a
direct tendency to drive capital oui of the
utale.
4th. That the majorities in the two
last legislatures intended tu destroy bank
ing in Ohio; or that the one portion in
tended to destroy, and the other were too
little informed to understand tho etTucls
of their vote.
5th. That those who advocaled the
principle of individual liability , the is
suing of only dollar for dollar, and the
right to alter or destroy at pleasure, not
only intended to destroy banking, but
to deceive the people as to their real
object.
I am not in the habit of making'asser
tions without a readmoss to defend them
will therefore offer to meet the entire
representation from this county in the
last general assembly, senator and rep
resentetives, at one or more places, ai
convenient times during the present
summer, and before ussembled audiences
(the larger the better) and yielding
them every opportunity to defend, prove
the entire truth of these assertions. And
if the representation shall eiiherconsent
or decline, I will meet in like manner
auch other gentleman of the county op
posed to hanking, or an advocate of the
abjtctionnble laws referred to, as may
be selected by the leaders or promi
nent men of the hank opposition as one
of their most talented and intelligent
members.
And now, grntfomon of the last legi
lature. and others who are the advocates
q no banks, or of the prosant banking
laws, let there be no dodging! Do not
t heretofore decline or advise against
public discussion! You all well know
that in regard to local banks I hold the
amu doctrines as held by ihe domncra
cy of Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York
and mod of th othor Staios, with this
ingle difference, that I would throw a
round them for tho protection of com.
munity, stronger check n and guard than
they. And I invito, I challenge you to
try before the people, through your host
mon, who are thu genuine dumocruis;
they who go exclusively for experiment
and soil' interest, or they w ho would do
the greatest good to the greater num
ber whother democracy mean ono
thing in Ohio, but a very different one
out; and finally, whether your policy,
which I pronounce destructive and ruin
ous to the people, will or will nut bear
the leal ol a Marching investigation,

Some lew days ago, Mr. Wickliffe, the
Post Master General, while passing by

Wahingion City- was stabbed in the
breust with a knife, by a young man
named Gardner. The young man was
brought to trial, on a writ of Habeas

Friday last, and discharged on the
ground of his in sanity. Tho Court di
rected him lo be placed in the City Hoa

We copy the fceegoing from in edi

the Lokeys abandon their old hobby of

"the real money " With this issue fair
ly made, we can safely go lo Ihe people
for trial. Heretofore, the Locofocos
generally have denied that Ihey were
laboring to break down the banks, for
Ihe purpose of introducing tho hard mo

these banks have "block chartered, but

he's badly sucked in. Besides, he ought
to have sense enough to ke.ow, (and if he

that capitalists have frequently sagacity
enough to look lo the locution ol their
capital, with the view of promoting other
great interests. A judicious iuruier

he may expect lo reap iu due iMion.

against any ono who will loan money ai
more lhan six per cont. interest. And
do you think capitalists will invest mon
ey in banks, when they can got 20, 3(1
or 40 percent, lor their money?
Sd. Are you in favor of reluming the
individual liability clause, in granting
bank chariers or what amendments
would you offer?
3d. A'e you in favor of increasing ihe
State lax, lo meet the interest on the
Stale debt and govermental expenses?
Or ere you in favor of borrowing rnon

to meet the deficit in the revenue?
4th. Are you to luvor of keeping the
