Let bank paper be suppressed.—Jefferson. Liberty cannot long endure in any country where the tendency of legislation is to concentrate wealth in the hands of the few. —Webster. Why compel the people to pay interest on government credit through the bank, when said credit should be extended direct to the people without interest?— Calhoun. Our only resource and an ample one for any emergencytreasury notes bottomed on taxes.—Jefferson.

Benton. The tariff question is not of as much weight as the fly on the cart-wheel. The tariff is only a feint—a false pretense.. It is only an instrument for jugglery and tomfoolery.—Senator Ingalls, in Chicago Tribune, June 18, ’BB. Lakey and Sayler, the new bakers, are prepared to do all kinds of fancy baking.
