The Whig party are not now, and never were friendly to banks without firm and undoubted basis. Knowing that the busi- ness of this country cannot be carried on successfully without the aid of we'll regula- ted credit, they are in favor of system of banking, which shall, while it affords a safe currency, accommodate the business com munity. Banking was never carried to ex- cess, until Loco Focoism ruled the country. Let not the leaders of the Loco Foco party think to escape the consequences of their own acts. One simple statement shows where the responsibility rests. Between the years 1920 and 1880 only 9 banks were chartered in the whole Union. BetDeen 1880 and 1887, 494 banks tcere chartered, and mostly by the Van Buren party. Facts are stubborn things, and cannot be reasoned away. What party bore rule in this country between the years 1880 and 1887! Jacksonism was then in it's high and palmy days-and under the course of experiments, to which we were then subjected, the banking system was so expanded, as to cause the revulsions which ensued. Yet the Loco Foco leaders, who were the guilty actors in those scenes, now skulk away, like conscience stricken incen. diaries, and basely deny the part they then took. The Wings predicted every thing that has since taken place. They warned ] the people that the currency could not thus be tampered with, in safety. But the blind and ignorant politicians, who were then so busily employed in manufacturing 'a better currcncy,' could not see the threatening storm Gen. Jackson himself in his farewell message in 1886 declared that he left this great nation prosperous and happy He knew not that he had sown the seeds which were to produce such distress throughout the land, although it had been predicted by the Wings.

 It is vain for the Loco Foco leaders to at- tempt to throw the responsibility from them- selves. They are the men who flooded the country with irredeemable paper money.- 1 Nine tenths of the broken banks in this country were chartered by their party. If they deny it, we point them-to Mississippi, 10 Illinois, to Alabama, to Pennsylvania With these facts before them let the people say who is responsible. The false, the trea- cherous. the selfish politicians who rule that party, would gladly now deny this, but it is too late. The people are fully informed on this subject, and when the Loco Foco organs talk about the evils of banking, it is perfect lly understood, that their only object is to conceal their own infamy.-HGrt.
