To prevent, misrepresentation . of Id's

tions of manyfriends and furnished us with

hl'm tO P. W. Tomnkinsfisri nf ViVlrshnrrr.
... . . ' I '
we entirely concur with Mr. Lea, as to
the effect of proceeding ngainst the banks
under trie common law, but wo cannot re
gard it as a "public misfortune that the
Briscoe Bill was ever brought forward."
It is true, ns slated by Mr. Lea, that "with
theexcepfionoftheinjunction clause.it con
tains nothing new;" but "amply sufficient"
as was the remedy at common law, we all.
Know tnat the state was not able to prose
cute the banks successfully in the courts,
until tho common . law was statutized.
The original Briscoe Bill is nothing more
than the common law placed on the statute
book. The law was clearly a part of the
contract of every debtor with the banks,
Tho bill contemplates the rigid enforce
ment of the law; and looking nt things "as
they are," wc shall rejoice when the day 1
.I. . j 1
snail nave arrived when "every bank in
the state" shall have been "swept away."
lne irankness with which Mr. Leas
opinions are expressed challenges adtnira
tioii. ego with him most heartily in
the view, that the whole system of statej
banks "is a standing violation of the trno
spirit of the' federal constitution," and we
would add the same remark relative to na
tional banking. It is-proved by the history
of the country, that that clause of the fede
ral constitution which inhabits the emis
sion of bills of credit, by the several states,
was adopted to prevent the recurrence of a
depreciated paper currency. The states
being prohibited fiom emitting directly
a paper currency, have- evaded - the consti
tution and icioitcd to banking and bond
ing thus doing by indirect means that
which they could not do directly. This
was the view of chief justice Marshall, so
far its thy state banks arc concerned.
Mr Lea is one of the soundest lawyers
in our midst; hisopiuiou is net less valua
ble in a legal point of view, than it i?, as the
result of a calm practical 'observer.

Jackson, June A, 1S13.
P. IV. Tompkins, Esq:
Dear Sir: I have just received your
letter of the 31st u!t., informing me that
Jen. Foote, in a recent sjreech to thopeo-
ple at Port Uibson, represented me ns hav
ing, vith other citizens of this county,
come out in favor of the Briscoe Bill; and
you ask, can it be true ? I take pleasure
in answering your inq itry, but regret that
I cairn t now convieutly gie yon my
views of this question more nt length.
It is always a part of wudom to look nt
things as they really exist. No man is
practical who does otherwise. I think it
a public misfortune that the Briscoe Bill'
was ever brought forward. With the ex
ception of the injunction clause, :t con
tains nothing new. The principles of the
caudfdate for' judicial station, I Should

common law are amply sutticieut, had thev
teen carried into elRcf, to have swept
a way long vine, every imnk in
that had violated its charter and tuia"
wliat ought to have been done. For my
self, I have ever leen opposed to the whule
system of state banks. Their existence
has been, and is-, in my judgment, a stand
ing violation ofthe true spirit ofthe fede
ral constitution. The stafp, unquestiona
bly, has the right to enforce o forfeiture
against a bank for a violation of its charter.
By the common law, a judgment of forfei
ture annihilates the corporation, and ex
tinguishes its demands and liabilities. In
creating the banks, the state was in no
way Dound, thonld a forfeiture ensue, to
save the claims of creditors by any special
legislation. The common law makes no
provision for administering on the estates
of dead corporation; uordo I consider that
the state is under any legal obligation to
do so. Bit from political and moral con
siderations, I have been anxious to sec the
banks speedily wound up, and their effects
applied to the payment of her debts. I
should rrjoice to believe that this could
now be doue. But no one, as far as 1 am
informed, expects lint tho present lav
will tx repealed or amended in any partic
ular so as to make it more favorable to
the banks. The only question is, shall the
prcseul law stand, or the Briscoe Bill be
susiimtcdm ijsplacc? In choosing be-
. twecu them, cogent reasons present them-
sclres to my mind, why the bill, obufx
I bus as it nmy be, thould'fce preferred.
Looking at thi;ig5 as they are, I cannot re-
fi;t iliccouc.'ufjoa, that none cf the banks
iu the state will ever be permitted to do
any good. The la s M stands will ulti
mately destroy thcru.ail I'- will aecorn

manly, bold Mississippian; and a Demo
crat to the core, he is destined to.be the
pride and ornament of , our state, v'
The circumstances urrdef which he has
been nominated render his nomination a
double triumph, and exhibit a characteris
tic trait of the man Upon a minor gjf-.
tion of state 'policy (the Briscoe Bill) he
differs from a large portion of id' citizens
of this part of the state; ftw that difference
lie had casually expresed. He was called
upon anonyflftiTsTy. to express , himself
publiclycvi the point. It not being-a ques
tion in any way touching his acceptability
as a member of Congress,) the station to
which his friends were anxious ta ad ranee
him) and the call being anonymous, he
might with plausibility have eutiiejy ex
cused himself from replying-' and most
politicians perhaps, under the circum-,
stances, believing-a3 he did that-his reply
would inevitably destroy his prospects,
would have remained silent. Not so with
him. Ho was determined that no charge
should ever apply to him that he had kept
back his 'opinions through policy; and un
der his instructions we, at this office, hast
ened oar press in order that he should lay
before the Convention his views upon this
question which he thought would causo
his defeat. Cut toleration and harmony---the
spirit of casting aside minor and local
considerations for the' sake of: securing
soundness and honesty opon great national
questions ruled the hour; he wa nomin
ated and that by the votes of those dif
fering with'him npon this. Doubly trium-,
phant is the securing of such a man in
public life. ,It is atrinmphof straight for
ward frankness and honesty ovr the in
trigueing; noa committalism, and duplicty
which wc grieve to say has too much here
tofore characterised our public men.
We only bespeak for Mr. Davi3 the ac
quaintanceof his fellow citizens. We only
wish him to be kuown in other parts of the
state as ho is at home; and we know that
he will become every where the as much
beloved and esteemed as he is here.
