Circulating Medium. -Amongst
?lie loading grievances of the times
may^ewnked the debased condition
of our circulating ' medium. The
[Banks, the present regulators thereof,
in tlielr tpo eager pursuit of the game,
or in other words, their inordinate
solicitude ftW the dividend; liave led
the citizens of our once hajypy coun
try info the wilds and mazes of spe
culative Bfr, anil ultimately jptoa
labyrinth of difficulties, from which
Cj apprehend it will require allyouf
?agarity; to ; extricate them* . The
extraordinary Humiliations in the price
of ujoperty, and indee^ of every
aeaflpi^r and convenience of life in*
doced thereby, hks not onto had ar
tendeucyijo plunge many into the
Maths of poverty? hut has also had j
the effect to subvertf their habki dt
industry and morality, and so long
m the power of the Banks to
mcr$ase or diminish the currency of:
the country at their jpteasure, With*
out being made to feel the consequen
ces of an iujudiciousr isKU^ oi witb^

Bank of North-Carolina we were
promised a medium pf exchange that
would Jftvigorate the operations of

preciated currency from circulation,
place the character of; the state noon
honorable and exalted ground ; But
what has been tile fact ? At the same
rime that they have banisl^Uhe old

in fmynient of debts and of mirse
a shield to the people; that they
have emlKworoochJn . their vaults or
driven from the couptry all the spe*
t ie, and the notes which have been
ttihstitftted, instead thereof, not be
ing convertible into gold or silver,
Ihe country presents the vnelanHid|jfe
spectacle of. a iieopie deeply invol
ved in debt Without a legitimate cir
culating medium. Never indeed
have our citizens experienced such
a presure, and unless sometliing is
done fiw their relief they must Inevi
tably fall a prey to the iron grasp of
their unrelenting creditors. It there
fore l>ehoves you to probe the Wound
to the bottom* and if poosible, to
nrreat the alarming visitation with I
which we are threatened. The invea- ?
ligation i? due to the public aa well'as !
