1tEi*oR"1* OF BANK COMMISSIONERS
‘' From the returns and from a general ex-
amination, the Commissioners are satisfied that
all the Banks in the State are now in a sound ‘
condition, and that with but few exceptions
they have been managed_ with commendable
the stockholders, with the exception stated as,
follows:
“ lvhere banks have divided their earn-.
ings too close, and where they have gone
abroad for paper, while declining accom-
modations to those of our own citizens,

true the public do not" suffer when a bank

ed it is otherwise sound, but great injury
such a course; for it will be seen, by a
part of this report, that a large amount of
trustees, schools, ecclesiastical and other
societies, the school fund the State ;
and a bank that divides all its earnings
every six months, and has not fund in re-
serve, shouldit meet with any considera-
ble loss, must, under existing laws, pass
one or more dividends. Under such a
state of things, all those stockholders who
depend upon the earnings of the bank in
which they own stock for the means of
their support, (and there are many such
in the State,) must suffer; and not only
they, but all who derive any, benefit from
that portion of stock held by the school
fund, or the State must stiffer in :1 great-
Tlie Commissioners say——“Tliat those
banks that go abroad for paper, to the
neglect of our. own citizens who are wor-
thy of credit, are not in the discharge of
the legitimate objects for which they
were created. Whenever a bank charter
is called for, it is on the ground that more
banking capital, and banking facilities are
required for the accommodation of the
people, within the vicinity of its location.
That some banks do go abroad for paper,
to the neglect and inconvenience of our
own citizens, we are bound to believe.
Complaints are made, and we fear with
too much reason. \Ve.believe, however,
that the cases are few. it is an error
that public opinion will be very apt to
set right. _
“ lt is claimed by mriny, :ir.rl with no
small degree ofjusiicc, that there is a de-
ficiency of banking capital, and that many
of our citizens are under the necessity of
going abroad to obtain their necessary
ziccommodations, bccause they cannot be
afl'orded by the present banks. lt is true
that it requires a much larger amount of
banking capital to do the business
than it would, could the banks keep
out the amount of circulation their char-
ters authorize. We have it banking capi-
tal now of eight millions seven liunrlied
and eiglity—one dollars, which would an-
thorize a circulation of thirteen millions
eighty-nine thousand five hundred seventy
one dollars, exclusive of deposits; and as
these ordinarily run, it might be increas-
ed nearly two millions more, which would
give a circulation of about fiiteen millions.

Natches, Mississippi, has Qnvented what
is called “la breech loading and self-cap-
ping rifle.” It has been tested with com-
plete success. It is capable of carrying
fifty caps at once in a side tube which are
pressed down by the action of a ‘spring,
one after another as the discharge is
made, without any other. power than the
throwing out of a’ crooked lever which
plays over, and when pressed up covers
the guard.
The action of this lever is most simple.
To throw it out from the guard to a posi-
tion perpendicular to the barrel causes the
steel breech piece of the barrel to sink
down so that the eye can run through the
. . : lire hollow of the «run at the same time

the moving priming nipple rises also in
position, bringing up the cap on its top.
it is now cooked and fired—-when instantly
throwing out the lever, the exploded cap
falls out, another one moves down and
the breech piece sinks in readiness to re-
ceive the cartridge.
Oiie accustomed to fire arms can dis-
charge this weapon nine or ten times in a
minute. The fifty caps will keep up a
deadly stream of fire for five minutes,
when a pause of from one to two minutes
will be required to place fifty new caps in
the exhausted tube, when fifty more dis-
charges may take place, giving the weap-
on the terrible capacity of making one
hundred shots, in twelve minutes! lndecd
the tube can just as well he made long
enough to hold one hundred caps or more.
It-can be loaded without bringing the
piece fronri the position held in a charge,
as against cavalry, as the piece may be
firmly grasped by the left hand pressed
against the hip and side, while the action
of the right hand alone, even without ex-
posing the elbow in range of danger, is all
that is required to throw out the lever,
place the cartridge in position, draw up
the lever, cock and fire the piece. -

has taken no part in bringing his name
before the American people in connexion
,wit.h the Presidency. nor does be present
,his name to that Convention as a candi-
-date; his friends throughout the country
=rather discouraged than encouraged by
him, have placed him prominently before
the nation as worthy of filling the place
once occupied by the illustrious father of
his country, and Gen. Taylor consents to
the nomination. He considers himself in
;the hands of his friends who have honor-
led him with the choice; he has publicly
,and repeatedly stated that they might
withdraw him whenever they thought the
interest of the country required it; he
does not consider that under the circum-
stances in which his name has been
brought forward that it would be proper
in him to withdraw himself; such has
been his position since he assented to
the use of his name subsequent to the
capture of Monterey, and such is his po-
sition now.” On debate of the delega-
tion from Louisiana, I will further state
that Gen. Taylor, desires it to be tinder-
stood that in his opinion his friends who
came into this Convention are bound to
abide by its decision and to sustain the
nominee heart and soul—tliat Gen. Tay-
lor recognizes in his friends in" this con-
vention the riglit to withdraw his name
and he will cheerfully acquiesce in such
withdrawal. Gen. Taylor we are also
authorized to say will hail with entire
satisfaction any nomination besides him-
self, being pursuaded that the welfare of
our country re_quiresa change of men and
measures in order to arrest the downward
tendency of our National Affairs. On
making this announcement the Delegates
of Louisiana wish it to be distinctly un-
derstood that it involves no inconsistency
on the part of General Taylor in case the
choice of this Convention should fall on
another than Gen. T:.iylor; and if the
friends in this Convention \\llll(ll‘€l\‘V him
it will be their act not his, but in which
he will clieerfully acquiesce; and by the
[act of uniting with this Convention, his
{friends ivitlidrziw his name from the can-
vass, unless he be the nominee of this
Convention. And we deem it proper to
assure the Whigs of the Union, that we
desire t.he iiominritiori and election of
Gen. Taylor to the Presidency, on no
other than broad national grounds.

FOR PRESIDENT
ZACHARY TAYLOR, of Louisiana;
FOR VICE PRESIDENT
MILLARD I‘-‘lLLllIORE, of New York.
THE N0fl.ElNA'l‘ION'.
The Convention assembled at Philadelphia
last. week, for the noniiuatiou of_'.Pre,s_ident, pre-
senied the ticket which appears at our head, for
lthc siifrages of the great \Vhig Party. Our read-
ers are well acquainted with our preferences, but
as every true wliig should submitto a fair expres-‘
siou ofllie iiiiIjoi'ity, and the majority having dc-‘
cided after mature deliberation for ZACHARY
TAYLOR, we throw aside our individual pro‘-‘
delectious, and fling to the breeze the good old’
banner of united \Vhig effort, and whatever’
iiiflueiice we can exert, we cheerfully pledge to
his support.
The platform upon which the Lousiann del-
egation have placed Gen. Taylor, showlbini to
be a W’/rig‘, ti. WHOLE VVIIIG and NOTHING
BUT A \VHlG, uniting all the essential i'e--
quisites for the" liigli office to wliicli be will be
triumpliaiitly elected. l\;l:iny have doubtless
been greatly disappointed, and we do not believe
there is a \Vliig iii the C0lllll'.'y who would not,
had be the power, place I']l~2-.\'I’.Y CLAY in the
Presidential chair, in preference to any other"
man. But when we consider with what we-
linve to contend and wlid is the opposing candi--
d2ito—nnnexation-of-till-cI'ezitiou. war, blood and
tliuuder Lewis Cass—wo could not risk even
the possibi1.ty ofa defeat. In this nomination
the great VVliig party is as certain of succes as
we can be of any event depending upon human
agency, and there is not a Democrat in the
land but tremblos at the name of TAYLOR.
Let every \Vl'iig then. in a spirit of concilia-
tion, unite in sustaining the decision of the Con-
veiitiou, composed as it was of uncompromising
VVliigs from all parts of the Union, and locofo-«
coisiii will receive it deft--at that will sink her
into political oblivion. Rouse up, then, gallsiiit
\Vliigs, and let. us commence the campaign in
good curiicst.
CHEAP POSTAGE.
It is iiiipcritively demanded of Congress be-
forc iidjournincnt, to uinciid the existing post:
officc laws. And let the irienibers be honest:
. ouougli to correct; the abuses of the fi'iinkii‘lg:'
privilege, or sweep it from existence altogether-
Let: the rates of postaigc be so low that none can:
complaiiii, and then let every man from the-
President down to the linmblest citizoiipuy the
legal rules. It is certainly veI'y strange after
wiliicssing tlie uiibouiiiled success of the cheap
postage system in Europe and the enormous
revenues collected from that department, that
no steps have been taken to adopt the same
systcn'i by our own governiiient. The present
law taxing H pi-opaiyiiietit of three cents on eve-
ry iiewspziper tint sent from the office of publi-
cation, is an outrage upon the foI.l)eaI‘ance of
the peoole. It would be quite as just and rea-
sonable to proscribe piiiiters and allow none but
slioeiii::l~:cI's this privilr.-.ge, and we really wish
it lizid been conferred upon any other class of
nieclianics tliziii pi'intcI's,fo1'tlicIi the whole press
would have donounced this anti-republican
iiiezisurc in such a iiiunuer that the ear of Gov-
ernment would hzirrlly have failed to not.e its
iiidiguation. At any rate, the people have a
right to demand a reform in this pzirliculur, and
we trust our public servants at \Vzisliingtou will
make an cfl'oI't at least, to accomplish it.
