The Banking (Question, from fhc course that was pursued last of the General Assembly, "will, in all probability, engross a large portion of the time the next Session. Owintr to the precarious around on which the people stand, it should be watched with an eye single to their Individual Interest, and whatever ma be the prevailing opinion of the Legislature, I have been, 'ami always, will be, decidedly opposed to extending the charters of the several Banks, Rakestraw, the Race Horse, and the fund practiced upon Kakestraw, is well proven by the na tore of Robert Cotton's, biil of sale to Orr Look to the particular nature of Robert Cotton's biil of sale! Look to the particular nature i' Cotton's character! I have never heard it disputed, in the state of Louisiana, where cotton came from, but that he carries on his thirty mac iccvipts from a oheriff in that state, as a testimonial that saii sheriff has not ntgltctcd his duly Under, tand And yet General Bethell has kept ih pure and unrpott, character about his house for weeks at a time, and has been his partner in horse-racing and other He states that I have brought Col. Aaron before th public as one of my informers this is false. 1 only called on Col.

Aaron to prove that he heard the statement from Rakestraw's own mouth, but 1 said, at the same time, that Col. Aaron was not my informer of what 1 wrote. My information on this subject was a general report about Salisbury and Milton: audi refer all, who have a desire to be particularly informed on the subject, to Mr. Henry Clay, of Milton, who will, no doubt, from his own knowledge, state more than I have written. He says it indelicate to call on Col.

Aaron in this case 1 have no means of knowing what his standard of delicacy is but I know he called upon his own wife and children, on the day he declared himself, as witnesses to prove his innocence 1. He says I will loose but little time before I prcfei other groundless charges. This reminds rne of an unprincipled, eye, time-eer-vaiit, "who is forever flinching for fear of the lash or if he wishes to banter, I cau add yet more to the catalogue of his crimes: He loaned John Morehead, Esq. when in great distress, a sum of money, at an enormous percentage, and took a deed of trust on a tract of land lying on Wolf bland. When the time of payment arrived, Mr.

Morehead obtained Bethell's Bond from Lenox, which, being due, it was thought to be sullicient to To the People of Rofkingham County.

I therefore think, and have ever thought it good policy if our Legislature were to establish a Bank on the credit or faith of the State altogether, and have it under the immediate control of the Legislative and executive power. I have ever, in writing and speaking of General Bethel, boldly asserted that he was more celebrated for falsehood, and downright LtEiNo any man in the Community. How far I may fall short of proving this fact upon him, out of his last Circular, I leave the reader to judge. He states that he had formed a resolution to pay no attention to any thing I might write or speak and that, hitherto, he had, dcclineiHaking any notice of my publication of the 5(h March. To prove bun false and inconsistant, 1 aslc thepeo-ple if he did not, as soon as my Handbill appeared then the people would feel an interest in its prosper- in proportion to the benefits that they would derive from it.

By establihin a Bank on the credit or faith of the we would meet Bethell's claims against Morehead but Bethell actually refused to take his own paper past an ih'u-e is every reason to suppose that this is the view taken of it by the Girat European Cabinets, who, therefore, will indeed by iio means relax in their endeavours to restore peace in the Cast; but will probably not be induced to risk still dearrr interests, so long as the object is not worth the means, or till no otlv-r choice is left.
