MORE IHIN PLASTERS* In (he Senate, on (lie 30(1) Instant, the following bills passed two readings, viz—A Dill-authorizing | the banks of this Commonwealth to issue noterof the denomination of one, two, and three dollars;' also, a Bill repealing the act prohibiting the olrou lationjOf small notes of other States. In the House, on the same day, (he Bill authorizing a general system of banking in ihis'Oommonwealib, based on the State debt, or Slate stock, passed Commit tee of the Whole. About forty applications for new banks and tho. re-charter of old ones have been reported in the House and Senate, and, from all we can learn, there is little or no doubt of the passage of ail of. them I This is going it with a perfect looseness! The dirty shin piasters of other States—half of them counterfeit, and the other half uncurrent and depre ciated—we are again to be cursed with. .Our own banks are to. have the privilege of issuing small notes, and thus force the specie out of circulation, or sell it at profit as fast as the banka gather it into | their vaults. Scores of new banks are to be char tered, and as. many, more defunct institutions are i to-be resuscitated and galvanized into life. And, I lb cap the climax of reckless folly, a strong effort will be made to pass the free, banking bill, by which l&ll who please may turn bankers, and .do business based on State stock, or, in other words, on the State.debt. The more State debt we have, the more banking capital will'be furnished! A beautiful system, truly! i But, will ihe bills enumerated above pass the LegislatureT TVe believe they will. The House, it is true, contains a majority of members elected as Democrats, but we fear many of them are ready to betray their constituents, and go over i*body and breeches*’ to the Bank power. We are sorry to be compelled to tnake this announcement, and sincere ly hope we may find, when these bills come up I on final passage, that, we were mistaken in our pre diction. 'No-greater outrage .against the people I could well be imagined than the passage of these I Bills, and wie would warn those who are honored with a seat in the Legislature, to beware how they tamper with the rights and wishes of their consti tuents. The people are still supreme, and they will give such an expression of sentiment in rela tion to the passage of thjjse Bills (so much at va riance with everything that was expected,) as will leach all who would betray thorn, whether friend or foe, that their will must and shall he obey ed. Fortunately for the people of Pennsylvania we have a man in the Executive chair equal tp every crisis. His views, as expressed in hia able, clear, and candid inaagural address, are the views of a vast majority of our people. On the subject of I [banks and banking, he is sound, and sustains the I same doctrine that was advocated and adopted by the lamented Skunk. In the event, therefore, o! the passage of these bank schemes by the Leglsla. ‘ tore, the people will look with confidence to Gov-| , ernor Bioncnj, and they will expect him to stand up as a bulwark against the insidious attempts of the monied power.: If we have but little confi« dance in the Legislature, wo have confidence in Gov.

Louli Napoleon’* ComtUntlon. The now Constitution of Franco, aa promulgated by Louie Napoleon, says tho Philadelphia Ltdger, if a remarkable document, and fully carries out the ob jeclof the coup d*ttat,by placing every thing in the hand of tho “ Nephew of hit Undo.” The President j governs by moans of tho Ministers, tho Council of | Stale, Senate, and Legislative body. Tho Senate is appointed for lift by the President, Hie ministers are appointed by him* and depend solely and entirely upon him, being impeachable only by the Senate, which ho appoints. The Council of Slate is nomi nated also by tho President, and. is liable to removal by him, Tho Legislative corps is tho only one of tho four powers—-by means of which the “President governs," which Is elected by suffrage; and the dop utics of this body are elected for six years, Louis not wishing to repeat the experiment of popular elect ions too often. These representatives of the people are mere nullities. They con, neither organlxe nor amend laws, but have simply the power of voting upon such as the President sends lo them, as drawn up lo the Council of Stale. Tho Legislative body is also kept small, In order lo be belter under the con* | trbl of the President. Its sittings are to be sooreti and the press has not the right to publish any of its proceedings, except tho bare minutes as drawn up by the President of tho Assembly. No better scheme than this could bo devised for centralized power in tho President, and giving him complete control of ull iho functions of government. Such a constitu tion is a libel upon the name of republic; with tho shadow of choice, It has all the elements of tho most absolute,and complete despotism; as the outrageous decrees of tho President show he intends to make the government.
