Mr.. FALCoNER:-IIaviDg heard that
DR.. L. ]. MALONE is assailed in his politi-
col course, and as | have been ultimate with
him and bis views for ten years, feel il
due to him to correct any wrong impress
sion that is urged against him in relation to
81 id political course. His views on the
Tariff have been, as they are at present
since | first knew him-opposed to high
protection. He was, when | first knew
him, warm supporter of Jackson's admin
istration; and decidedly for Van Buren,
in 1886, and the State Bank deposite sys-
tenn up to the failure of the same. He tken
declared against all banks and advocated
metallic currency. assuming that The State
banks had proved inadequate 10 give a uni
form currency And though opposed to
banks, he, after the failure of the State banks,
gave his preference for National Bank o.
yer the State banks. that beiag he absor rbing
question at the time, and supported Harri-
sou and Tyler under that view of the sub
ject, and after that time, when the question
became bank or no bank, you find him
consistently with his former views-op-
posed to banks, showing by every political
step, that he makes decided bearing for
| principle, without that rigid adherence to
name party by which we are TOO often
misguided.
