This is not the first time that we nave been grossly mis' represented by the Banner. Wo respectfully but most earnestly insist, that such things bo not persisted in, in future.

BANKS AN-D-BANKING. As a pnrty, the Democracy have ever opposed tbt system, both national and Stale. The deleterious effects of both hare been seriously felt by our citiiens upon several occasions within the last Vthree-quarters of a century. Through the instrumentality of the democratic party the results of the mad spirit of national banking was exposed the national bank killed, and the peeple save from ruin. From 1824 until 1836, banking, throughout the country, run high paper currency increased its eireulatien from 02 to 150 per cent and, as a neces sary consequence that followed, speculation ran Trild, and in IBS 7 the doers of the banks were closed, and the peeple, who held their paper, were, in many instances, hoplessly ruined.

From that panic the country recovered, and, under a constitutional currency, and a more mild system of banking, it has prospered. But within the last few years that same spirit of bank expansion has been developing itself, which has flooded the country with a redundancy oi bank paper. The effect of banks of issue is to produce an artificial increase of credit in the communities where they exist, and precisely to that extent an unsound con dition in the walks of trade. Credit, when acting solely under the guidance of its natural laws, is beniScent in its effects, and furnishes the great meaas by which the difficulties growing out of an unequal distribution of wealth are overcome. But when credit is stimulated into a state of unnatural expansion, by the exertions of a class, whodeemitfor their special interest to promote and supply the means for such a state of things, tho result is, we are inolinded to think, in a majority of cases, disastrous to those for whose benefit it was professedly designed.

If wo. were asked to state, in a single phrase, the fundamental source of all the financial convulsions and disasters which have, within the last twenty years, successively afflicted the country. i we should answer an excessive and abused credi'. It is no exaggeration to say, that tho whole trade ot the nation has been conducted upon a false and fictitious basis on time contracts, rather than on cash payments on promissory notes and like sub etitutes for money, and not on monev. The natura consequence has been that we have done a business greatly in excess of the actual specie capital of the country; the prices of everything have been correspondingly inflated railways and all like enterprises have been undertaken on borrowed or spurious means, and in rash disregard of certain essential conditions of remunerative returns our habits of life have become loose and extravagrant to a fearful degree; millions of gold hivo been yearly shipped 'abroad to pay for enormous importations of foreign goods which supplied the place of domestic fabrics and to that cxteat diminished the productive activity and revenues of our own industry and finally, the perpetual presence in the stock market of a large of floating debts, in tho shape of bonds, mortgages, notes of hand, and paper securities of all kinde, lias led naturally to habitual speculation in stocks which have no real value and arc called and in such as are valuable, but whose value is constantly being misrepresented by the gambling operations at tho Stock Board.

It is obvious that if this unsubstantial and fallacious mode of deing business is persisted in long enough, itmusi inevitably end in bankruptcy. A time must come when accumulated obligations cannot be met with anything but gold and silver, and as a very large part of the financial transactions ef the country have never contemplated any such mode of final settlements, it follows, naturally en eugh, that when the specie is demanded aud credit con no longer be made available through transfers of paper promises and securities, there must bo a general breakdown, and a sudden revelation of the hollow and illusory character of much of what had appeared to be a solidly prosperous slate of affair Trading on credit, and the substitution for a bon i jrtk currency of that which is not really money, nor readily convertible into it, are two of tho radica jsisehiefs which have brought about our present eetsry troubles. Unless these fundamental vicc in ur commercial system are corrected, we may expect to recover from one crisis only to relapse into another, while our progress in wealth will be MuVeellby and delusive. IMPORTED STOCK. Tlte Philadelphia Bulletin has the following allusion to this subject, whicli tells well for the spirit of ifflprovement and cnterpise which is abroad in the Jasul Scarcely a day passes in which the eye of tho jsesi general newspaper reader is not caught by a Heiieeoftlie importation or sale of blood cattle.

In Ike Bast and the West there is a constant demand far superior stock to improve the breed, and there re few farmers of any moans who do not possess etve e-r more animals to which they can point with pride as ot superior quality. This has been going on so steadily and incessant and so muoh money has been expended in it. that there is scarcely one, even among professed agriculturists, who would not be amazed if he could realize the difference between tho quality of cattle every State in the Union fifteen or twenty years ago nad at tho present day. In the Patent OtBce Report on Agriculture, for 1856, we find, from dif ferent portions of the most distant Slates, such items afltke following constantly occuring: "Our old race of cattle is nearly extinct." "The cattle raisers of our country have turned their attention for the last few years to the improvement of tho breed The farmers in this section arc making considerable effort to improve their cattle by crossing with the Dunhams and other popular breeds." When it is remembered that a single imported animal will make 8 serious difference in improving stock, ad tniinttum, maA that the difference between superior and com mob breeds is. in most instances, simply that between good ami indifferent, this extraordinary and rapid improvement in quality, over such an agricultural country as oun cannot be regarded in other than a highly encouraging light.

Much of this has been tlae to the public spiriicd exertions of individuals, who Ueterve the highest honor for their efforts, and muoh to agricultural associations and fairs, all ct which deserve from our fellow-citizens and readers the warmest sympathy and encouragement, sinco it Save, after all, who in common with the farmer, enjoy the results of every improvement in the great art of producing food.

The following extracts from a- sermon preached by Brigham 'Young at Salt Lake City, July 26th, will be read with interest at the present lime Men rage and. boil with wrath and indignation, and they do not know the cause of it. If they think "what injury hare the Mormons done to me?" the response from their own minds will be not any." What can the men truthfully say who have civilly passed through here to the West to make their fortunes! That here is a place of peace and contentment; and though a thousand miles from civilization and from all the luxuries and many of ihe comforts of life, yet here is a people satisfied, -on'tented and happy. Did they injure you? '-'No." Did they treat you kindly? Ask tho people in the Bast what is the matter? We can't tell you, only somebody has said something?" What' have they said We don't know we only heard a ramor, that's all.

The people abroad are just as foolish, unwise, and short sighted as they can possibly be repre sented by the best learned men in the world. What are they doing What they have done all the time. they been trying to destroy "ilormonism?" tea. Did they destroy it when they took the life of Joseph? No "Mormonism" is here, the priesthood 9 here, the keys of the kingdom are hereon the earth, mil when Joseph went they did not go. And if the wicked should succeed in takinz mv life, the kevs of the kingdom will remain with the church.

But my faith is they will not succeed in taking my life just yet. They hare not as good a man to deal with as they had when they had Joseph Smith. I do not profess to be very good; I will try to take care of number one, and if it is wicked for me to try to preserve myself, I shall persist in it, for I am intending to take care of myself. When they killed Joseph they were talking about killing a great many others. Would you believe hat the apostates say that I was the instigator of he death of Joseph and Hyram? And William Smith has asserted that I was the cause of tho death of his brother Samuel, when brother Woodruff, who is here to day knows that we were waiting si.

me utjiui. iu io toKe passage cast, at Ihe very time when Joseph and Hyram were killed Brother Taylor was nearly killed at that time, and Dr. Richards had hiB whiskers nearly singed off by he blaze from the guns. In a few weeks after Samuel Smith died, and I am blamed as the cause of his death. We did not hear of the death of Joseph until some three or four weeks after he was base martyred.

What is now the news circulated throughout the United Slates That Capt. Gunnison was killed by tJrigham Young, and that Babbit was killed on the plains by Brigham Young and his Danite band. iVhat more? That Brigham Young has killed all he men who have died between the Missouri river ind California. do not say that President Bu chanau has any such idea, or the oflicers of the troops who are reported to be on their way here, but such nre the newspaper stories. Such reports are in the bellows, and the editors and politicians are blowing (hem out.

According to their version I am cniltv of the death of every man, woman and child that has died between the Missouri river and the California gold mines, and they are cominc hero to chastise me. The idea makes me laugh, and when do you thiuk hey will get a chance? Catching is always beforo hanging. They understand, yon know, that I had iron north and intended to leave this place with -iuch as would follow me, and they are coming to declare a jubilee. It is their desire to say to the people, "you are free, you are not under the bon dage of Brigham Young; you need wear his yoke uo longer; now let us get drank, fight, play at cards and racehorses; and everyone of you women turn to be whores and become associated with the civilization of Christendom." That is the freedom they are endeavoring to declare here. 1 will make this proposition to Uncle Sam: I will furnish carriages, horses, the best of drivers and the best of food I have, to transport to the States every man, woman and child that wishes to leave this place, if he will send on at his own expense, all those who want to com? to Utah, and we will gain a thousand to their one, as all who understand the matter very well know.

It would hove been much better to have loaded the wagons, reported to be on tho way here, with men, women and children, than with provisions to sustain soldiers, for they never will get here without we help them; neither do I think that it is the design of President Buchanan that they should come here. I am not going to interpret dreams, for I don't profess to be as much of a prophet as were Joseph Smith and Daniel, but I am a Yankee gaesser, and I guess that James Bcchahan has ordered this expedition to appease tho wrath of the angry hounds who arc howling around him. He did not. design to start uen on the 15th of July to cross these plains to this place on foot. Russell Co.

will probably make eight to ten thousand dollars by freighting the baggage of the expedition. What would induce the Government to expend that amount of money for tais Territory? Three years ago they appropriated 345,000 for the purpose of making treaties with the Utah Indians. Has even that diminutively small sum ever been sent hero? It is in the coffers of tue i-Jovernment to this day, unless they have stolen it 'ii. or improperly laid it out for some other purpose. Have they ever paid their debts due to Utah? No; and now they havo capped their meanness by taking ihe mail out of the hands of Hiram Kimball, simply because they knew that he was a member of this church.

If he had only havo apostatized in season and written lies about us, it is not probable that his mail contract would have been taken from him without tho least shadow of right, as has now been done. He was to have 23,000 lorcarrying the mails from Independence to this city once a month, which was i he lowest bid, but because he is a Mormon the contract must bo disannulled, and that, too, after he had put by far the most faithful and efficient service hu the route that there ever has been, as is most well known at Washington. If I thought that my prayer might be answered, I would pray that not another United States mail may come to this city, for until Mr rvimball began his service it has been a contain source of annoyance, disappointment and io u. loss. We can carry our own mails, raiBe our own uust, onu sustain ourselves.

But woe, woe to the man who comes here to un lawiuuy mienere wun my nttairs. Woe. woe to tho-e men who come here to unlawfully meddle with me anu mis people, swore in Jvauvoo, when my enemies were looking me in the face, that I would send them to hell across lots, if they meddled with me, anil 1 ask no more odds of all hell to-day. If they kill me it is all right; but they will not until lie nuie mints, anu i iiiinu mat snail die a natural death at least, I expect to. Would it not make any man or community ancry to endure and reflect upon tho abuse our enemies hare heaped upon us, and are still striving to pour out upon uoa people! lir- liernnisel says that Mcfiraw's mail contract was out in August last, but liiey demanded at his hands and would pay him to carry it two or three months longer.

The I'ost office Department knew, or should have known, that it had forwarded the acceptance of Mr. Kimball's bid for the new contract in that mail which McGraw was not carrying, and then it took advantage of the fail ure ot that mail and trumped up a false allegation of the unsettled state of Utah, and on those grounds disannulled the contract with Mr. Kimball. Our mail rights, and other rights and privileges are most unjustly trampled under foot, but they can spend millions to raise a hubbub and make out that something wrongts being done in Utah. Let me be the Prcsidentof the United States a lit tle while, ond I would say to the Senators, Representatives, and other officers of Government, gen tlemcn, you must act the part of men and States men, or I will reprove you.

What are they angry at me for? Because I will reprove men for their iniquity, and because I have such influence here, tho very thing they nre all after. They think that they are going to obtain it with money, but they cannot uo 11. KANSAS. uur reauers win see, in anotner part ot our pa per, mat tue uonvention wmcn assembled to make a Constitution for Kansas, after electing officers, had adjourned oTer to the third Monday in October. Wo have no information as to the reasons which induced the Convention to adjourn over to the end of October, instead of acting at once, and making a Constitution but wo think that they are not difficult to understand.

Governor Walker, by his promises ef support, has at length induced the Black Republicans to go to the polls in the approaching election for a Delegate to Congress. It is all important to the pro-slavery men that the Delegate from the Ter ritory in Congress should be with them, and support the Constitution they should send to Congress. Before Walker's intervention, the Black Republicans Ind determined not to vote. Of the rest of the population in tho Territory, the pro-slavery men had tho decided majority, and would easily have elected the Delegate. But, since Walker has induced the Black Republicans to come to the polls, if the Democratic party, consisting of pro-slavery men and Northern free-soilers, should be divided, tho Black Republicans would elect the Delegate.

The Con vention, acting at this time, and framing a pro-slavery Coustitution, might divide the Democratic party. Walker might induce those in favor of making KansAs a free State, to go with the Black Republicans, and thus elect to Congress the Delegate from the Territory on the floor of the House of Representatives, opposed to the Constitution and the ad-missionof Kansas as a slave State into the Union. To avoid such a result, the Convention, we suppose, has deemed it best not Io mako the Constitution frr Kansas until the election of a Delegate to Congress is over. Having secured their Agent in Congress, they will be prepared then to make a pro-slavery I'onMiiution. This policy has been rendered neces- ary lrom Walker's success with the Black Republi can party.

Uiit it argues most certainly (it the reasons which have occurred to us arc the correct oner) that the pro-slavery men in the Convention have determined to have a pro-slavery Constitution. If a majority of the Convention were for making Kansas a free State, then the sooner they made tho Constitution the better for success as a National Democratic party. By making Kansas a free Slato at once, they would take away from the Black Republi-cins all issues in the election of a Delegate to Congress, whilst Governor Walker, the great dispenser of the patronage of the National Democratic party, would operate with a certain effect on many of the black Republicans, whom he had already led to vio-torv on the great issue of slavery. But we hope iouu to hear lrom Kansa, and that our speculations Jill prove to be certainties. Charletton Mercury.

BANKS AND BANKING. We commend the following sound and sensible views, from tuo Cincinnati uovmacuu, to. tne careful consideration of oux readers. Its' npplica tion is general A day or two since, in an article glancing at our present financial condition, we intimated the opin ion that one of the principle causes of the-unsound state of the currency among us, and- the doubtful credit of money concerns here and elsewhere, was to be found in the consequences of the attempt, on the part of legislative bodies, to legalize a paper 1 1. currency to comer upou iuui.

wmc-u 15, iu of no value, the character of money. To those whose philosophy does not go far enough to include the principle, that for every event that occurs, there is or has been somewhere an adequate cause, we may seem to be talking enigmas; but wo are fully convinced that among the intelligent and thought? ful there are few who will find it difficult to trace nlmost every admitted disease in the monetary sys tern of the country, and almost every shock in financial affairs, directly back 01 a cause among the natrual consequences of the legalized manufac ture of paper money. That there is a consciousness among the masses to this effect, Tve do not entertain a doubt. Of the drawing and progress of such consciousness, the people of Ohio have, for a number of years, given testimony which, although for a time ove looked by the advocates of paper money banks, it folly now to in core. The vote of last year upon the bill, to establish banks, submitted to the people, and the absence of any tning like a feeling ef solicitude for the fate of the one that is pending destined, with out doubt to the same fate should be sufficient to convince all who feel any sympathy wi the move ments of the popular mind, that the time for such institutions, as responsive to any express or implied demand from the people, is past.

If banks are to be chartered if the machinery for the manufacture of paper money is to obtain a legal existence it will be in obedience to the desires of the capitalists ass mode of investment suited to his tastes and habits, or of the speculator, as a means to place within his reach the implements of monopoly. There may havo been a time when banks of issue irvcd the people, ana were oiscrvice to tne people bit tl at time is past. Tho occasion upon which such service iB rendered are too few to supply the basis of a decent pretence The object of a banker is always in a greater or less degree, and in many cases exclusively to uso the people, for- his own benefit that benefit being, not the legitimate pi outs of a banking business, but the irregular successes of a hazardous speculation in commodities which are held to bo desirable for the purpose in proportion as their prices are uncertain, and their value subject to fluctuation. It is a fact that is worthy of reflection, that about in proportion as the precious metals increase in Quantity, is also the increase in paper money and in an equal degree is also augmented the spirit of speculation. It was thought by many, and rationally enough, that so huge a tide of gold and silver was of late years beinc poured into the channel or trade, that paper money whose existence was supposed to be owing to an actual want of the precious metals, would disappear.

This has not proved be the case On the contrary, gold and silver are only the baiu for the issue of paper that they were before and as the basis expands, so-is the shaky and unsound structure enlarged. This is to be re crettcd. The stimulus of a regular and gradual in crease of money in a community gives an admirable liveliness to trade, vigor to industry, reality to the transaction of business, and solidity to the general condition is well 'rewarded; the cnterprsing and careful grow rich, and the poor live better and more easily, isut as in tne human system sc the body politic, there can be nothing more produc five of dangerous irregularities tnan an excess stimulation. Had the issues of paper given way before the tide that ilowed in from California, should have been enjoying, at this time, a sufficient cy for every business purpose of money whose char acter no bank iailure can ettect, instead of trashy currency, which men fear to hold 'from one day to another, and concerning whose value, tho only thing of which they are convinced is that it is doubtful There was never a moro absurd idea, and yet scarcely one that has been made generally prevalent. than that banks of issue can' create capital.

We do not know how many times we have been informed that if Cincinnati could have eight or ten millions of bank capital by which was meant banks authorized to issue eight or ten millions of paper dollars- its prosperity would be secure Looking at past events and present conditions, we have the right believe that while that eight or ten millions of bank capital would not have been represented by single million employed in regular business of any kind, it would have been the occasion of an annual fifty millions of speculation and at least its own bulk in bankruptcy. In fact, the present mercan tile soundness of Cincinnati is the result of not hav ing had that same eight or ten million of bank capital and it is true that the repute for solvency and solidity which this city enjoys abroad, as well in Europe as America, is not only attributable, but is actually attributed to the fact that we havo been in a great measure destitute of those bank facilitiei whose service to the business community are once so specious in their promise, and so dangerous in their consequences. Whatever may once have been the case, it is cer tain now that speculation and paper-money-banking go tugether, and that one is the inducement for and probably, a very accurate measure of the other. Now it would require more spaco than we have to enumerate all the mischiefs that spring from the indulgence of a spirit of speculation. To say that in a great majority of cases the speculator ends by impoverishing himself is to begin with that which is of the least importance.

It is the public that is thesutferer, aud if we could only get a total amount of the tax that is annually paid by the people this Union, in consequence of speculation in articles of necessity, tho sum would apear so enormous that we would be willing to part with all the con veniences that spring from the use of bank paper credit, even were they so great as they liavc been represented, if withit we could get rid of the effect of those mischievous operations ot which they have been ever, and now more than ever before, the ori gin and exciting cause.

Animal Diet JJad for Children. There is no greater error in the management of children than that of giving them animal diet Jvery early. By persevering in the use of an over-stimulating diet the digestive organs become irritated, and the vari ous secretions immediately connected with, and nc cessary to, digestion, arc diminished, especially tho biliary secretions, and costipation of the bowels aud congestion ol the abdominal circulation succeed Children so fed, become, moreover, very liable to attacks of fever and inflammation, affecting partic ularly the mucous membranes; and measles, and the other diseases incident to childhood, are generally very severe in their attack. In reference to the last remark, a distinguished medical gentleman mentioned to us that, in families where children lived on simple diet, if they were seized with mea sles, wlioopincr-cough, mumps and similar diseases, he never called but once, as ho knew there was no dancer; butin families where an opposite course was pursued, he always expected trouble. Tue Cotton Cboi As a general thing, the plan ters 011 the Arkansas river, make more cotton than they can pick out, and yet their crops vary in quan tity.

The consequence is, that a bale a week to the hand is lost. Upon every plantation this will make a loss of from three to four bales to the hand. This enables the reader to see at a glance that a large portion of the crop, and that the very cream of it, must be lost. An early frost this year must catch the cotton in a very bad way to see cold company, for the rains have filled it to overflowing with sap. If the crop goes up to two million three hu ndred thousand bales, we shall ba very much astonished indeod.
