t SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1840. Dewocvnlic Kepnblicnn State li igh Is No m mat iu n s. FOR PRESIDEXT, MARTIN VAX BTIKEX. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, RICHARD 31. JOHNSON. (jJpSeveral errors having occurred in our statement of the votes recently polled for Governor, particularly in the vole of Iredell county in which the democratic am whig vote was reversed, we have conclu ded to publish the following, from the Ra leigh Slandaid. THE RESULT. We have now full returns from the whole State, and though not official, they may be relied on as accurate, as they have been re reived from those entitled to credit. It shows, what hid been expected, a much ha Yier poll at this election than on any pre vious occasion. For Governor there an upwards of SO thousand votes; nearly 15 thousand more than ateiiherol the lormer elections; of this number, Gen. Saunders received nearly 36 thousand; a larger vote -than Gov. Dudley, though beaten by up wards of eight thousand. Whether thif great increase arose from the unusual ex citement, or from improper votes, is a mat ter deserving investigation. The increase has been decidedly greater in the Federal than in the Democratic counties. 1840. 1S5G. Saun's. MorM. Spa't.

We promis ed, when the returns came to hand, to pre pare a statement, showing the majority in each Congressional District of this State, for and ajaingl ths whigsv as tasted by the Observations on Mr. Badger's Gran ville Speech. No. 6. (concluded.) TheWebsters,the Clays,the feed attorneys ot the U.S. Bank, have had the assurance to claim for the irredeemable paper rags in circulation, the character of "constitutional currency;" and to assert for the general government the power as well as duty, to regulate this heterogeneous mass of rags, this semblance, this effigies of representa tive value. Can you witness, fellow citi zens, this prostration of intellect, of tal ent, and of morals without alarm, horror, indignation and contempt? Can these men thus give the lie to common sense and common honest ? Then is it lime to throw ourselves upon our own counsel, and con sult our safety. Our own intelligence must provide a remedy for an evil so desperate. I here is but one method, one course lor Congress to take on the subject ;to discharge its duty to the country. 1st. To pass a general bankrupt law in cluding banks, treating them as individu-J alsor trading companies, and subjecting them rigorously to commissions of bankruptcy. 2nd. To prohibit (through the instru mentality of State legislation) the issue by banks of any note below 50 dollars. 3rd. To persevere in the strict execution of the Independent Treasury system. This is the only method by which the general government can constitutionally regulate banks chartered by State legisla tion, and is a course loudly called for byr our villanous American system of banking, as well as by the condition and circumstan ces of the country. Sound and reputable banks, founded on proper principles, would find it both their interest and profit, to be thus regulated, as it would give them a monopoly ofthe business, while the spu mous, swindling, and irresponsible institu tions, would find it their interest under such regulations, to wind up their affairs, and return their capital to their stockholders. I'lv?se observations, fellow citizens, on the evils to be apprehended from a Nation al B mk, the most destructive of all politi cal engines, are little more than a slight glance at the subject. Governor I roup of Georgia has truly and comprehensively emarked, that in yielding a National Bank, all other evils and abuses aie legit imated. Armed with this engine, potent in evil, but impotent for good, the Whig party would soon seize every thing valua ble in our institutions or dear to freemen. close this subject already extended I fear too fir, for your patience, by submitting the tollowing truths lor your cool and uis- KK.sionate reflection. rhat a National Bank possesses inherent vices, which admit ot no remedy, palli-l alion, or reform. Hut a National Bank is not adapted to the meridian of a land of freemen and equal tights. Th it a National Bank is "an absolute des potism," fostered by monopolies and ex clusive privileges, & fed by oppression. That a National Bank, as a monied power, is the natural ally ofthe wealth and aris tocracy of a nation, rhat a National Bank is essenliallv hostile to the free institutions of the American Republic, which were formed for the protection of the rights of all, but of no particular class. That a National Bank is composed of ele ments dangerous to the public tranquili ty, one of which is, a lust of political power. That a National Bank will ever, seek to thwart and embarrass the government in its fiscal operations. That a National Bank by its vast influence as creditor of the community, as the cre ator and pretended regulator of a paper currency', and manager of the resources and exchanges of the country, is invested with a power too great and mighty to be trusted to any subordinate institution, whose vast power is wielded by one head and one will. That a National Bank holds at its mercy the prosperity and measures the value ol the property of the country, reducing that value or raising it, at its pleasure, its caprice, its interests or circums'ances. rn 1 . fct . lilt mat a lMationai uanK, as experience proves, will aspire, by the aid o! political factions, by its influence, by the use or monry, by bribery and cor ruption, to seduce and corrupt the public press, and to control the free dom of elections, in the choice of the Chief Magistrate, and members of Con gress, and to interfere in the appoint ment of the officers of government. That a National Bank can never safely be employed as the instrument or agent ol the general government in its fiscal ope rations. State banks generally resemble a Nationa Bank, in all respects, except in the magi nitude of its capital and resources. A few words, fellow citizens, in illustra tion of the comparative condition of the country at this day, and that of "eleven years ago," and I will conclude this desul tory essay. In 1S30, the public (or national) debt, tho' I cannot at this moment ascertain what proportion was held by foreigners, was - - $48,565,405 State debt small at this time, commercial debt, debt of banks, insurance ofii ces, &c. abroad, may be estimated at - - 30,000,000 At this period (1830) the bank capital of the country was 140 millions, there were 330bank8, and the debt due them may be estimated (favorably) at 200,000,000 At this day there exists no public or nation al debt. Judging from the imports and exports of 1S39, let the commercial debt be esti mated at - 37,000,000 The foreign debtof theStates at 200,000,000 In 1837, the number of banks was 709 and branches 173, authorised capital upwards of 440 millions of dollars, loans and dis counts 525 millions. (See American Al manac for 1S39, pages 116 and 117 ) In 1S40, the number of banks is estimated at 929. It is not an extravagant esti mate then, to put down for the debt due the banks of the U. S. 600,000,000 And this is as unfavorable a view of dis tress and ruin as the whigs can desire. It appears then that 1st. The contrast exhibited, shows, that in 1S40, the commercial debt ofthe coun try is 7 millions greater than in 1S30. This to be sure is not a horrible ruin, and distress to a very great extent, can not be preached up by the whigs on this item. It the administration the cause of this foreign balance against us? This will scarcely bear a contest. 2nd. The second contrast is in the item of State debt, which with exception per haps of 7 or S millions, has been entirely created since 1S30 and is estimated at 200 millions, due in Europe. Was the administration the cause of the States creating a foreign debt? No man of three consecutive ideas, no unscrupulous whig dare assert it. The truth is well known. The banks made investments in the stocks or bonds of the States and negotiated them in Europe. Hence the alarming amount of State debt, is exclu sively due to banks. 3rd. The third item in the contrast is, the debt due to banks. This debt of the country to banks in 1S30, was put down at 200 millions, much too low; but let it pass, minute accuracy is unimporianl on this occasion. In 1S40 the estimate of this debt of the community to banks, is 600 millions. This debt seems to preserve a pretty ju-t proportion to the increase of banks. Well, is. the administration the cause of the debts of individuals to banks? This is too ab surd and ridiculous, even for whig effron tery to assert. It is all the handy work of banks, it is their vocation. It follows then, from this gross calcula tion, that, the indebtedness of the country In lS30was S'278, 000,000 The indebtedness in 1S40, S37,000,000 Showing the gross debt of the country in 1S40, to be 559 millions more than in 1830, and that il teas indisputably pro duced by the action of banks in which the long eleven years administration of ihe learned demagogue, had no more concern than the great Cham of Tartary. What then becomes of the exaggerated position of the learned demagogue, G. E. Badger, Esq.? Fled driven to the antipodes ol" truth. Where then is this mighty ruin and distress, this raven cry of the whigs? Whence is this desolation to come? I'll tell you from the banks. This 559 mil lions, is indeed a heavy deduction from the sum of American prosperity, and it will be longbelore the productive energies of the country can throw offthe weight. The re covery ofthe country must be slow and progressive; but what will be the condition of the country ten years hence (1S50) if you, fellow citizens, supinely suffer the whig party to succeed in their atrocious purpose of electing Harrison, to create a National Bank, abolish slavery, revive the tariff, assume the debt of the States, load you with heavy taxation to pay the inter est in Europe,create a national debt an hun dred fold greater, build lighthouses in the skies,squander thousands ofmillionson in ternal improvement by the general gov ernment, and take seven-eighths of your property by taxation to form a surplus for emancipating your own slaves, an ob ject very near his heart that the sun may not look down upon a slave in North America? If you permit such an event, will you not deserve the just punishment of your apathy and supineness? If you per mit this, the horrid distress and ruin pro claimed by the whigs is but as dust in the 1 ...III. -.f micprv balance, compared wm me oca u. & despair which is yawning to overwhelm you. No, fellow citizens, do not deceive yourselves. Listen to the words of Gov ernor Troup who (I am sorry to say) has long acted with the whigs, but has left ihe party: "It is a mere quest ion of Bank or no bank. If the Bank cumes, every thing that is unconstitutional ivill fol low." Never was a more indisputable truth uttered. This is the strife, the true, the real contest between democracy and the whig partyBank or no Bank and may heaven interpose to snieia us irom a -u-tional Bank!" About the learned orator's happy period of "eleven years ago," it will be remem bered that many counties in North Caroli tT won dfiihtM-alinir on thenroorietv or .. .w , ("I I I-' necessity for calling an extra session ofthe Legislature to relieve them from the pres sure of the banks. There existed at that iiine somo gloomy apprehensions, and an ticipations, from the winding up the af fairs of the late State Bank, about to close its business at the end of its charter. But now, it is evident, if we are to be submitted to distress and ruin it must come from the banks, by a pressure on the com munity to collect the immense debt due them; or which is nearly the same thing, fiom their reducing the circulation, to so Iowa point as to leave no adequate medium for the purposes of the community. But the banks of this State are too prudent to make so rash, so dangerous an experi ment. I will do them the jusfice to say, that I do not beleive, tint they have yield ed to the folly or the crime of political ex periments or oppression. Their omVpr & directors, and a large proportion of stock holders may be generally, as hostile to the administration as other bank establishments but I indulge the hope, that a InVh sense of honor as well as their true interests, will long have the effect of restraining them, from palpable and open political demonstra tions, or from secret violations of morality and justice. I am free to confess my belief mat however strong their whig political predilections may be, their predilection for making money, overbalance those for mak 'n political capital. Nevertheless as banks, acting upon the uncontrolled and irres ponsible principles of cur execrable A merican system of banking, they ought to be viewed with a wholesome distrust and apprehension. It was my intention, fellow citizens, in my next number to enter upon an examina tion ofthe pretensions of the whigs' super annuated candidate for the presidency; but my indignant feelings have been so much excited by a second reading; of the learned uemagogue s unmanly, indecent and atro cious attack upon Mr. Van Buren, that I disposed to change the order of the topics and to allow the latter the benefit of my ob servations, in the first place. Should I however be prevented by ill health, from pursuing those lucubrations for the present, I shall notccasa to indulge the hope of re suming them at no long interval. CURATOR.
