the free banking, which has at all times sup :

itself to general confidence and approval by its
simplicity and adaptation to the circumstances

front the curses that Will fall on it. 9 friends in
future yews, and, so far as in our power, we
mean the Democratic party of Susquehanna
county shall be clear also.
' Where this system has been tried it has
disappointed its friends, and fully equalled the
expectations of its enemies. It has nothing to
recommend it • to the favor of any one. except,l
petimps, those who are enabled from wealth
to take advantage of its prUvisions to increase
I I their wealth at the expense of the people. We;

It is qqiie,utinecessary to add one word of
'comment to this text, , for it , eeeds enly, to be
read to be understpod. It, enforces its own
conclusions. 'lt is a prerogative enjoyed ex
elusively by the money-kino of the country?!
Against such "prerogatives" the Democratic
party has fought ever since it came into exis.

YDS:TICE.
Rnaearo.—We by no means wish censure
to fall on those who_aro
. innocent, though . we
are aware that 'from the complicated . nature of
the Bank af:Eirs, some seem to
,liiive , - act,:e'd
a prominent t part in ;its management; who
are wholly innocent perhaps. If censure falls i
on such, they, must remember the story of un
lucky Tray. We can apologize for thein . onlyl
so far as they make known quit grievances to
us. The proper coureeforthose
_unjustly, ac
cused or implicated, is to make the fact's . Pub
lie, showing theinielvts innocent and placip' , .
the guilt where it belor,rge. So, long as they
let matters_rest, eboOSitig, rather than expose
'others, to stiffer thentsclves, they have no 1,64
nese to coniplaiu, that clOrmnonity is unjust. i ,..
We agree With "Justice," ; that the blame
should'Uotlie - cliarged l indiscriminiiiely, veil

to do, with it, still, weliave semetirues.heard it

that those, few had, no idea that there could be
a public . ; sentiment differing from their own.
