CREDIT AND RANKS.
T»ie following sound »ud judicious r.flectkms
copied from a critique upon Professor Tucker’.
‘■Theory of Money and Banks investigated, ’ which
appears in the last No. of the Xtu York Kcneu
one ol the ablest American quarterlies :
.. This st«n of our reasoning brings us .hen to
,>,e conclusion, that banks of some kind or other
„e. matter both of public onvenienc. and public
wfelV-lbey give to private credits facility and se
iv Had we no bankers in the country, we
should still have credits, and those credit, const,..,
ling pape. money. Individual .ecu,me, would
lv the place of bank securities, and He only differ
• nre would be, that the nation would have a paper
circulation, less convenient and sale-our paper
money would be one of petty localities, of streets
and neighborhoods, incapable ol settling exchanges,
and requiring the aciual transmission of com lu all
payments between places. Under such a comii
l ion of things, his obvious that (he second step of
credit must be taken—society cannot get on with it.
't he first was to subslitote a promissory for an actu
-i payment—the sec I is mgive lo those promises

(bat of the individual, for those ol associated capi
lialisi, Such persons when associated together l.u
■ hat end, coi stiiuie a hank. Banks, llierfure, are ;
needful associations in some form or other—they
belong to the expanding energies ol a nation’s indus
try. aid aie part of ilie neerssatv machinery ol I
commerce.—Banks, therefore, aie but functions j
of credit, which glow tip wuh the advance of a free- |
ty expanding socieiv, and can no more be prirnanent- j
/,, ’y pill down, or cast out of a nation’s use, when so- |
Y**Tlety has come lo the stage that demands them, ;
' than could any other torce of labot saving machine
ry. 'l'lie l.at.cl ol aibiirary power may, indeed, put
down any thing for a moment, but there a,e some
things that will not slay “ pul,”—add bank, are of
iliem ; they are an essential part of the locotnn
tive by which ihe country is moving onward—and, ,
i/i some form 01 other, will exist, and, though put
down, will grow up, and only ihe more tauk and 1
rapid, from the vain and insane atiempt ofour rulers
to extirpate them. The only choice, in point of
tact, led to the government, is, wlieihrr the banks
of the coumiy shall be good or bad—sound or un
sound. Bauks or m banks—cierlit or haul money,
is a different question, and a choice not within their
|lowcr ;_the nature of man, working under its own
unchanging laws, has already se'lled that question—
ihe days ol tiaid money and no credit, aie days gone
l,v ;,|;d will return no more; and though ihe uatiou
may be frightened, for a moment, into ihe hope ni
r tear of its coming back, it is againsi n.nine's Ians
_the stream rolls on, and Ilian, with his | uny
strength, will he found attempting iu stop the cutreut
in vain."
The Review stales the question fairly and fully.— |
Tito only point really at issue, is not whether wo
shall have Ranks or not, bur whether we shall have
a sound or an unsound Banking System ? The
Ranks that at present exist may, it is tiue.be prostra
ted, and the counliy thereby be involved m tonfu
sioa and distress, but another system w ill assuredly
spring from their ashes. If the present Administra
tion, fur example, succeed in fastening its Sub
J'reasmy system upon the counliy, as, from the in
dications of the times, we suppose it will, we shall
never have, in all probability, a National Rank, or
gauized as was tl.at which has been destroyed ; but
we shall have, in its place, a “ Colossal Treasury
Hank,'' under the management and control of the
President of I Ire United States—a branch of the
Treasury department—centralizing ihe Money P„w
ei of the country at the same spot, and consolida
ting it iu the hands of the same man who wields the
Political power. It is passing strange, indeed, that
men who have opposed a National Rank because
i I the extensive powers which it was supposed to \
possess, and which they frared it might wield to the
ch siruclion of the public liberty, should lie willing to
create, iu ils stead, a giant moneyed machine, which
Irom ihe very naiure of its organization, must he in
vested with vastly greater ami more dangerous pow
ers, w bile, in ils close alliance with the Executive,
it will find an effectual shield from all responsibility.
I be present Stale Ranking system may share the
late ol the U. IS. Rat k. We presume it will. Rul
what shall we have, in its stead ? The hard money
age, which many deluded simpletons have bien so
long expecting to see, but who will, as many others
before them have done, " die without the sight" ?_
No, no: We shall see branches of the Sub
I leasury Rank springing up in every State, to fur
nish a paper currency in lieu of that which will
have been destroyed, and a substitute lor which must
be found somewhere, in order to prevent that sud
drn and univetsal depreciation of values which would
; otherwise result,and which w ould be more destructive
t ban the passage of a law to cancel all existing contracts
and to exempt debtors Irom their liabilities. Then,
indeed, we sluiul I see the futility of Mr. Calhoun's
pretence of the Stale /Unfits character and tenden
cies of the Sub-Treasury system ; for, not only
would the enure Moneyed power he centralized at
Washington, and consolidated with the Political,
bul hosts of frdsral officers w ould hr created in every
State, Wielding, in every part of ihe Union, the same
J'otcnt and leailul engine ol corruption and coercion.
1 he people, although evidently perceiving the nat
ural, not to say the inevitable tendencies ot the Sub
freasury system, have declared their decided oppo
sition to it more than once ; but under the guidance
Ol traitors to principle, they have determined never

state and individual rights in the great central "gull
of consolidation." against which the Enquirer some
years ago so Ireqiiently warned us. but of which we
now hear nothing front that quarter ?
07* The Enquirer is quite excited by the deela.
ration of "war to the kmle," made by Mr. Leigh, at
the Staunton Convention. To borrow another ofits
own thread-bare figures, "it speaks the liny of the
Pythoness wt houthei inspiration.” h tell* us that
the Wings have waged such a war befote; and asks,
"whet spoilt have they collected!" None, sir; we
do not belong to the tfsoils party. When in power,
we did not lavish the ullicis of the coutiliy upon the
followers ol the camp, as so much booty, to be dis
tributed to a gang of inetcetiaiy hirelings. The
Whigs light lot principle—not for pay. Should Mt.
Clay ever be installed in tho Presidential chair, we
shall not see him followed to Washington liy a host

ol those who aie incompetent, unfaithful ami dis

det the Piuscriptive principle, should be made to suf

cases.
07* A» the Richmond Kt quirer supported Wm.
II. Ctawfnrd lor the Presidency in lHW& tj 7, notwith
standing Mr. Crawford was in lavor ol a National
Bank, w hich it says is ilia “gteiilest evil that note
threatens us,"—we should like to know what was
the " greatest evil" that threatened us at that
time J
NATIONAL DEBT.—The Secretary of the
Treasury announces that the amount of Treasury
Notes outstanding on the 1st inst. was $3,709,384 52.
The Baltimore Patriot pertinently remarks : “Tnus
it appears that tlie Post Note currency of the go
vt rument amounts at this time to nearly four mil
lions. Why, then, in the face of this admitted fact,
should the goveinmenl organs keep up an outcry
against the post note issues ol the U. S. Bank,
w hich do not piobahly amount to the half of that
sum in the aggregate ? Let tlie administration
lake the beam out of its own eye, before it essays to
pull the mote out fit that of the Monster. Treasury
Notvs are, to all intents and p rpotes, Post Notes.
And if it is wrong for the banks which are sound and
tu good credit to issue them, it must also he wrong
for the government to do so- Where is the differ
ence ?’*
Qj1** The President has no', yet leturned from his
Electioneei ing tour. He is delaying his departure
from New York at long as possible, so that his per
sonal presence may be felt in the fortliuoming elec
tion in that State. This is all right, however—at
least his friends find nothing in it to censure.—
Messrs. Poinscp, Paulding and Kendall arc also
still absent from Washington. Yet we hear nothing
sail] about the Travelling Cabinet!
The New York papers announce the remo
val of a numbei of the Custom House officers in that
city; and the reaso n assigned is that they i el use to pay
a per ventage of 'heir salaries towards \ heelectioneer -
ing fund raised for the puipose of promoting the
success of the Administration party! ! And these
things are done in the name of“ Demociaey.”—
The public officers are not only to ‘ enlighten'’ the
people, but they are expected to contribute a portion
of their salaries to raise a fund for conuptio » anil
biibery.
Sickness at the South. — At New Oilcans on the
24th ult. there were 27 interim nts. On tie same
day 25 patients were admitted te the Chniity Hospi
tal, 22 having the yellow fever. The True Ameri
can says, the virulence of t he disease has not mani
festly abated.
At Augusta, Geo. on the 2Gth, there were 3 deaths;
on the 27th. G deaths ; on the 28th, 2 deaths; and
on the 29th, 5 deaths, all from yellow fever. With
in the same period there were 7 deaths from other
diseases.
At Mobile, on the 21st, there were 13 deaths ; on
the 22d, 13 ; and on the 23d. 10. The Advertiser
of the 24th says—‘‘No abatement of the epidemic is
yet manifested, although the number of deaths the
past week has not been so great as the week previ
ous; still, in proportion to the number of inhabitants
the mortality is as large ns at any time this season.
The number of deaths for the past week has been
80, ami for the month of September, up to last
night, 329. A frightful mortality indeed !”
Qy The Rev. John Pierpont, of Boston, has
been dismissed from ibe pastoral charge of his con
gregation, by a vote of 63 to 60, on account of Ins
zealous support of the law passed hy the Legislature
of Massachusetts, prohibiting the sale of spirit
uous liqums in quantities less than 15 gallons.—
The Boston Journal states tbit “ several pews were
bought up by dealers hi rum during the last fort
night, in order to bring about this result.'* Mr.
Pierpont is, we believe, a Unitarian Clergyman.
(5^* Another member of Congress, James C.
Alvord, Esq. of Massachusetts, is no more. He
died on the 27th ult. after an illness of several weeks.
Mr. A. although a young man had attained censide
table eminence as a politician, w hile, as a membei
of the her, he hade fair to reach the highest honors
of the profession. His piemalure death is a severe
loss to his State.

OBITUARY.
1 “ Insatiate Archer ! could not one suffice?
I " Thy shaft flaw thrice, and thrice my peace was slain.”
Died, on the 20th September last, ui the lesidence
j of Mr. W'iggintoii, whither he had gone in lull
health on a visit with lua mother, ID.nkv La no or
j M huiykthkh, eldest son of the late Dr. Francis Me
i iwether of Bedford county. The deceased was in
truth in the very morning ol life, having not yet cotn
plctcdliisthirieeiith year; and perhaps never was a len
der and devoted mother called upon to witness iho de
parture ofamoie amiable, interesting and promising
>oij. Having lost his lather at a very early age, he had
long been the subject of much inaleinal tare and
anxiety : and just us his fond mother heguii to reap
the fruit ol her diligence, ho was suddenly cut down,
leaving her, a younger brother and sister, with many
relations and friends, to lament Ins untimely death.
i Ins sad beieaveiuenl is rendered singularly painful
and distressing by the peculiar ciicumstatites assort
tied with it Urged by feelings of affection lor her
relations in Bedford, as well a* gratification ol
| the wishes of her cliildten, h other, with con
siderable reluctance and misgi »g, at last obtained
iter own consent to pay a visit, which she had long
i li.nl in contemplation, little thinking that she was
soon to return to her rteidencc in Albemarle, pre
ceded by the lifeless body of her child. This indeed
was the case, and shows most emphatically that ** in
the midst of life we are m death.”
In contemplating tins sodden and soio affliction,
one is forcibly struck wiih the truth of the sentiment
of ihe devout and plaintive Dr. Young.
•* In every vary'd posture, place and hour,
“ How widow'd every thought ufevciy joy !”
To his distant connexions it will be comforting to
know, that although lilile llepry Laudon died from
home, he died not among at range it ; and dial in atl
diiion lo the sleepless nursing of a most devoted
mother, he received eveiy aid and attention that
kind syrnyathiv.ing friends and the most skilful pits
siciaui could bestow. 11 is confinement, which
occasioned by a peculiar kind ol sore throat, last
•id exactly a fortuiglf, and leriiuu ted wilmut
causing him in the interim a gie.it deal of suffering.
A short lime previous to his dissolution he expressed
himself perfectly willing to die, and having taken an
affectionate h ave of Ins mother, lie turned quickly
over and expired.
