But thid is the reason why the Democracy cline with so much pertenaeity to. the old State H.ink, ayd will not extenil favours to Railroad stockholders, because in so doing they "extend favours to the Ameri' cans, who with a few honorable excep- lions have built up out present works of Internal Ijnprovenients, and own almost ,41. . l it entire ?aock.

What great services has the State; Hank ever rendered to North Carolina, j when com- pafed with the services rendered by these much despised stockholders ? j The Hank it is said, has aided the Stale in pay- inir her debts: admit it.
