'HlE STATE BANKS. j
V,o copy fiom the Democratic tinion.an
article of iho individual liability of tlio Mock
holders of Banks, which is deserving of all
cdlmlderalion The principle of individual
responsibility has been adoplcd.by several
of (he slates, aud to far as we can learn; in

Nor Is this all that ought to bo done (o
prevent tho Banks from again running not

in one common ruin Among the many ro
forms that are required, a system of the most
rigid accountability should bo created to pro
vent all their officers or directors from mis
applying or wasting the funds, or appropri
sting them to their own utfe; and tho best
plan to prevent these evils would be to
abolish all secrecy in the conduct of affairs;
st least so far as that any of the etockhold
eru might at all limes know what is going
on in the institution.
Fur ourselves, we think the public at
large havo a full light to kno'w, as well as
the stockholders, iho nature of tho security
ihcv have for the notes they arc every day
obliged to tako So long as the bank issue
n cutrencv. so tone ought they to be con
fiidcrcd public institutions, and open to the,
examination of tho public If the veil of
secrecy had bien withdrawn several years
sifo from their proceedinirs, what loss and
suffering would havo been prevented or
avoidodf
Now is the best time to investigate and
regulate the whole system There is a calm
favorable to tho formation of right judgment.
The stockholders ihe real owners of the
banks have found out by their losses that
the svslem has been all wtong.and they
will give their aid now to reform That
which they opposed a few years ago as
destructive of their interests, they would
now accent as their best protection The
directors and officers of some o( these in
slilutions might oppose measures calculated
to limit their orivileces, but they are now
too weak to bribe or intimidate the Legisla
ture; before they grow strong again, let the
chains be put upon them, that will forever
nrevent tnem trom aeain coine mau, anu

Progress of Irish Repeal in Vance.
The cnthuiiafim of the French is displaying
itself in the readiness and spirit with which
they respond to the call of the Repealers in
the United States. A banquet was held
in Paris on tho Hlh ull, by those friendly
to the cause. One hundred persons were
nrceent, among whom were deputies of
the extreme eaucne, members, of the
Institute; literaiy men, commanders and of
ficcrs of the National Guard, and a deputa
tion of (he 'Patriots of Orleans and Rouen.
M. Ledru Rollin (i deputy) opened a sub
scriplion for the Central fcunu ol the Ke
peal; 'and at the. pressing invitation of the
assembly, promised to proceed forthwith
to Ireland, to visit the directing committee
of the association, and be the bearer of the
relief to be forwarded to them as a tosli
mony of the lively interest Frenchman
take in the cause of all oppressed nations
The meeting promissed that, should the'
struggle become violeut, Franch would be
no more deficient to Ireland than she was
half a century ago, to the efforts of the
American people
Fishing with Sledge Hammers -A per
an writing from Frankfort, Kentucky, lo
an oastern editor; slates a new mode of
fishing, which is practised in the small
dreams in Kentucky, during low water. I
is termed 'sledge hammering;' and is per
formed by a man wading about Willi
sledge hammer on his shoulder, and to
every rock which ho approaches he gives a
violet blow with his hammer. The stunn
ed fish rise from beneath the rock to tho
surface, and are basketed. The bottom of
South Elkhorn.a beautiful Mreamjaboundwg
in black perch, which affords fine sport to
the angle, was nearly rnacademizeu las
summer by the wonderous sledge hammer
and consequently this season the fish at
very scarce.
