I'N3TI:D STATES I»ANK.

The l.ist nunibcr of the "Journal" contains an article headed "Lnitcd States Bunk," a few statements in which we design to notice. And in the first place, no mutter how often the idea of a United States Bank is repudiated by the people, no sooner do the Whigs obtain temporary control of our political affairs, no matter by whnt portentous circumstances, than they begin either covertly or openly to advocate their darling measure of a Bank of the United States. And although they themselves have within the last ten years repeatedly pronounced it "an obsolete idea," no longer to bi: thought of, we lind them taking advantage of their present temporary succcs?, secured at the expense of a party prostitution of political principle, and a forfeiture of honor that has no parallel in the history of politics, to bring it forward again.

In the article referred to, the Dr. expresses himself strongly in favor of "such

an institution over any other system of paper circulation, but doubts the propriety of again attempting to re-establish it and why? simply because he knows his party has not the power to do so. But cannot any one sco from the preference he avows for it, that he and his party would be ready to seize the first moment of political power, no matter how obtained, to re-charter that mammoth swindle, notwithstanding the r«-

peated condemnation the people have pass- jt0

State, as to electa United States Bank man to the Senate, for it is well known that Indiana favors no such scheme. But the Dr. nfier giving a decided preference to the United States Bank, true to his instincts, in favor of monopoly proceeds to urge upon our legislature, the idea of a re-charter of

the State Bank as the next best thing.— Now we say distinctly that we arc against nil banks of circulation, and believe that the only sound circulating medium is the constitutional currency of gold and silver. Therefore we would not, under any circumstances, favor the charUring of any Bank but if the commerce of the county has to be controlled by the Banks, we want them as free from monopoly as possible.

We did not favor the present Banking IHW at the lime of its passage and notwithstanding the Dr.'s contemptible fling at the "old short liner?," as he derisively calls the democratic parly, we can tell him, that more democrats by two to one than wh:gs voted in the legislature against its passage and that the representatives irom tnis county, Allen in the Senate, and Manson and £tovor in the House, all voted

perfect, and believe so still yet with *11 its

We wish the people to know another thing. No such institution as our present

State Bank can be legally created by the legislature and any attempt to accomplish it by indirect means, would be a fraud upon the fundamental] law of the State,—a

pious fraud that the Dr. in his peculiar j*e Pu^'^ ^now Noth.n

had said he would oppose the admission of

any State legalizing slavery. With respect to the first proposition, Mr. Benton thinks

the only effect will be to disgust the settlers in Kansas. At the next session the necessity of Mr. Mace's bill will be superseded by events. Kansas will apply for admission as a State. Now a State (says Mr. Benton) is entitled to admission with or without slavery, and that not by virtue of any act of Congress or the Constitution, but a right anterior and superior to Con-

rifht of State soverignty, posessed before

the Constitution was made, and not surren-1

dered by the States when the Constitution was formed, and therefore retained by the States. Add to this a treaty right the same fleet.

Kansas is a part of the former province of Lousiana, and has a right under the treaty between France and the United States to be incorporated into the Union as soon as can be done in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Constitutions.— The third article of the treaty gives this absolute right, whether Kansas presents herself with or without slavery. There was, Mr. Benton says, crimination and recrimination on the part of Mr. Mace and Mr. Oliver. The first charged that the Missourians crossed into Kansas to control the election of a delegate, and the latter retorted by saying, men were sent frora New England to control the election. Mr. Benton believes both were about right.

I trust the fusionists of Indiana will read the above remarks of Mr. Benton carefully and be as ready to subscribe to them as they were to endorse him generally, last summer.

There is much speculation here, about our next U. S. Senator. Parker, I understand, seems confident that he will be elected. That the Know-Nothings are for him in preference to Ortli, if a nomination by that order is made. Mace says a U. S. Bank Whig cannot be elected and as Parker and Orth both belong to that category, they will be ruled out by the Democratic fusionists. It seems to me it will be a bitter pill for Democrats, who say they have not given up their principles, to swallow a decided friend of a U. S. Bank, a protective tariff, etc., etc.

Mr. Berry of Mississippi opened up on the Know-Nothings in the House, on yesterday. He was replied to by Mr. Banks of Massachusetts, and Mr. Keit of South Carolina has the floor to-day. This will be a funny fifht. Abolition Massachusetts in favor of

the Know-Nothings. South Carolina and Mississippi against them. The Know Nothings are stirring, as you are aware, to extend their organization into the South, and have met with some favor, especially in Virginia. The object of Southern men, in this discussion, will be to show, that the Know-Nothing organization in the North, is in the hands of the abolitionists, Greely, Seward & Co., to the contrary notwithstanding.
