Farmer B. “Relief bill” did you call.it? I don’t think it will afford much relief to the people of Beaver county. Our whig mem bers from this county fold me the other day that they were opposed to it before the Gov ernor vetoed it, as they knew.it would ruin a large number of their constituents, but us the whig members had agreed in caucus to carry that bill or nothing, they were com pelled to vote for it. Cashier. Oh! Farmer B.you are entirely mistaken about that bill. It will not do the people of Beaver an injury. Far from it.— It is a most excellent bill. It legalizes a suspension of specie payments for five years certainly, and may legalize it for twenty years if the banks manage it right; and you know When the bgnks are not encumbered by having to pay their notes in specie,’they can loan out a great deal of their paper, and times wilb be good; and this you know is, what our party has always stood_ up for.

Jack son’s war on the banks, and the hostility of the democratic' party with David R. Porter at their head, in this state. If we can elect John Banks this fall, every thing will, go right again. . Farmer B. Nqw sec here, Mr. Cashier, I have been a whig and a bank man. I al ways believed that Gen. Jackson and the democratic party told lies on the U. States Bank, and; I have'always opposed them on this,, ground,, expecting that if we carried majorities of whigs in the National and State Government, that every thingyvbuld go right. Well, last fall .you,know we. Carried every thing, but Governor of Pennsylvania, .and where is the improvement in the times, or in the management of the banks? 1 now sec by the disclosures of the'affairs of the United States Bank by its own officers," that every thing which Gen. Jackson and the democrat ic party (whiqh I always opposed,) said about the. Bank has turned-out to be trnc, aiid l find that by this “relief bill,” as you call it, which our party forced throughithe legisla ture in opposition to Gov. Porter and his veto, that the United States Bank is authorized to 'make hn assignment without requiring the ■^teerttn Assignment ,wmue-‘madc'tor the benefit of, foreign creditors,,and. that the trustees will refuse to take any of her notes in payment of debts, so that,the..people of this country will be cheated out of every dollar of her paper they hold. '' ■ Cashier. Hut Farmer 8..y0u are not now goingto abandon our party, just when vic tory is within our grasp? Hold on with us until October., We will then elect judge Bap'ks, and all will be rjglif again. • • Farmer B. I tell, you, Mr. Cashier, we have been humbugged-'by the banks long,e qough. I never had my eyes opened until I read Governor Porter’s, veto of this “relief bill!” Then I.began to see something, of the rascality of these institutions, but still I never, dreamed that they would resort to such .downright: fraud and villainy, as to issue their ojvn note s one day, and refuse to take them in-payment of debts the next.— We were promised a sound currency when this bank was established; we were promised every thing by the leaders of our party; but here we are this day flooded with paper that no body will redeem, and the men who issued it refuse to take it in payment of debts which the people owe the Bank. Why I suppose if Judge Banks was elected, that Stevens, and Burrpw.es, and Ritner, and all other whig leaders; would get up another thirty: five million Bank to swindle and cheat the people. Sir, I tell you lam done >vith the whig' party—my eyes have now been opened -“-I-believe GovernorPorter,to be a patriot ic statesman; and that if Pennsylvania, had not had such.a main at- the helm for the last three years, that we should have been sunk still deeper and deeper in bank difficulties. I shall go in, now .for the election of David i R. Porter, because I believe he desires to have the banks properly regulated, so that the ,people will not-be swindled out of their hard.cariiipg hereafter as...they have been, by the course pursued by the United- States Bank. Good bye sir. As you will not take ypur own iponey in payment of debts due the bank, you may bring suit against me.and collect the note when you can." . ° - , TITJLEIS OF .ZCTS, Of a general nature. passcd at last session of the Legislature. ■ : t \ An act‘relatingJ’o Aldermen'dnd-JusticcS of the Peace.. „ - . 1 '. .
