PHILADELPHIA, WEDNE S DAY, OCTOBER 28, 1857.
E e r 55.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1867.
THE GREAT ORATOR OF OUR DAY AND.
Ron. EDWARD EVERETT is, we think, fully,
entitled to this appellation. Residing inquiet!
and ease near Boston, surrounded with all the
comforts of life, in opulent circumstances, he
seems to have given himself up to the noble
relaxation of aiding in good works. We know!
of no example more interesting than the:
spectacle of a statesman who has passed'
through most 'of the high stations withinN
the gift of his fellow-citizens, who is blessed
by Providence with an; abundant° of earthly:
possessions, who is not only a thoroughly.
educated man, but a' student et the world,
and of mon, as well as of hooka, devoting the
sunset 'of his life to the service,4 his country.,
Enduring as is the laurel that surrounds. the'
monument of the Father of his Country, Mr.
EvEurrr has accomplished a task supposed to
be beyond the effort of eulogy and of rheto-i
ric,by adding freshness to the undying fame of.
WAstriscprott ; intertwining with that fame his
,own name, and while deepening the Popular!
affection for the illustrious dead, obtaining is,
.full share Of that atrection for himself.
On the Bth of October Mr. EVERETT tip
peered before' the New York State Agricul-:
Itural Society at Buffalo; and in the presence:
'of ox-PreSident FILLSIOIIE, Governor KING, and
a large assembly, delivered another remarkable'
oration. We regret we cannot lay before our
readers the whole of this beautiful and mar-i
venous, composition—beautiful in its struc
ture, marvellous in its ideas, and as complete
as ono of 'those ancient statues or pictures,
which modern art toils in vain to imitate.
Read the following extracts, 'and then toll us
if this praise is too warm
But, to speak in a more fitting and serious train,
I must confess that there has always seemed to me
something approaching the sublime in this view,
of agriculture, which (such is the effect of Luna-,
iarity) does not produce an impression on our minds,
in proportion to , 'the grandeur of the idea Wo
seem, on the contrary, to take for granted that ire:
live by a kind of mechanical necessity, and '
that,
our frames are like watches, made, if such a thing
were possible, to to without winding up, in virtue'
of some innate prineiple of subsistence independent'
of our wills; which is indeed in other rest/cola
true. But it is not less true that our exist-,
epee, as individuals or communities, must be kept
up by a daily supply of food, directly or indirectly,
furnished by agriculture; and that, if this supply
,should wholly fail for ton days, all this multitinli
nous, striving, ambitious humanity, these nations
and kindred and tribes of men, would perish from'
the face of the earth by,the most ghastly form of
dissolution. Strike out of oxiotoneo at ones ten
days' supply of eight or ton articles, euoh as Indian
corn, wheat, rye, potatoes, rice, millet, the date,'
the banana, and the broad fruit, with a half-dozen
others, which serve as the forage of the domestic
animals, and the human race would be extinct.'
The houses we inhabit, the monuments we erect,
the trees we plant, stand in some eases for ages ;,
but our own frames7-the stout limbs, the skilful
hands :that build the houses and set up the monu
ments and plant the trees—have to be built up, re
created every day, and this must be done from the
fruits of the earth gathered by agriculture. Every
thing oleo is luxury, convenience, oomfort—food is
indispensable.
Then consider the bewildering extent of this
daily demand and supply, which you will allow me
to place before you in a somewhat course mahout
eel illustration. The human race is usually esti
mated at about one thousand millions of individuals.
If the sustenance of a portion of these multitudi
nous millions is derived from other sources than
ngvieniture, this circumstance is balanced by the
fact that there Is a great deal of agricultural
produce raised in excess of the total demand for
food. Let, then, the thoughtful husbandman who
desires to form a just idea of the importance of
his pursuit, reflect, when he gathers his little
flock about him to partake the morning's meal;
that one thousand millions of follow-men have
awakened from sloop that morning, craving their
daily bread with the same appetite which reigns
at, his family board; and that if, by a superior
'power, they could be gathered together et the
same hour, for the same meal, they would fill both
Jades of .flve tables reaching all around the globe
whore it is bro'adestoonted side by side, • and al
lowing eighteen inches to each individual; and
that those tables aro to be renewed twice or thrice
every day. Then let him consider that, in addi
tion to the food of the human race, that of all the
humble partners of man's toil—the lower animals
is to be provided in like manner. These all wait
upon agriculture, as the agent of that Providence
which giveth them their meet in due season; and
they probably consume in the aggregate an equal
amount of produce; and finally let him add in im
agination to this untold amount of daily food for
man and beast the vat ions articles which aro fur-
Walked directly or indirectly from the soil, for
building materials, furniture, clothing, and fuel.
But, without wandering so far for additions on'
tinily novel, which may ha ,expeoted to our vege
table stores, I cannot but regard what may be
called organic husbandry as ono of the richest de
'partments of solemn, and one which is as yet
almost wholly in Its infancy, What wonders aro
revealed to us by the microscope in the structure
and germination of the seed ?—the instinct, so
they day, of radicle and plumate, which bids ono
seek the ground, and the other shoot up toward
the air; the circulation of the sap, which, exa
. mined under a high magnifying power, in a succu
lent plant---the Calls, for instance--rosombles
floiring stroam of liquid silver—a spectacle, in
these days of "suspension," to make a man's
month water; the curious confectionary, that se
cretes sugar, and gluten, and starch, and oil, and
woody fibre and flower, and fruit, and leaf, and
bark, from the some elements in earth and air, dif
fering in each differing plant, though atanding side
by' side in the same coil; in a word, the wonders
and beauties of this annual creation—fur such it is
—as miraculous as that by, which sun, and moon,
and stars, and earth, and sea, and man, were first
formed by the hand of Omnipotence !
It would be 'absurd to deny the manifold ins
portends of great commercial towns in our social
system. They ate not the mere result of Menlo-
Alen; they grow, up by an Irresistible necessity.
The Wooer life which springs from their stern

transferring cultivated tastes and liberal arts from
crowded avenues and ringing pavements to the open,
healthful country, and connecting them with its
substantial interests and calm pursuits.
In acknowledging, as I do moot oheorfully, the
important relations of city life and commercial
pursuits to the entire social system of the country.
I leave, of course, out of the account—l have no
words but of abhorrence—for the organized con
spiracies, swindling nut plunder, which exist side
by aide with the legitimate transactions of the stools
exchange. It is not ono of the least perplexing
anomalies of modern life and manners, that, while
avowed end thus far honest gambling (if I may
connect those words) is driven, by public opinion
and the law, to seclude Itself from observation
within aaretully-tyled doors, there to fool away its
hundreds, perhaps its thousands, in secret; disere
ditad, infamous; blasted by the anathemas of de
serted, heart-broken wives and beggared children;
subject- at all times, to the fell swoop of the police—
the licensed gambling of the brokereiboard is car
ried on in the face of day. Its pretended sales of
what it does not own, its pretended purchases of
what it does not expect to pay for, aro chronicled
in the publie prints, to the extent of millions in the
course of Si season, for the cruel and dishonest pur

ruinous se.crifloe of bona. fit/r property, and thus
making a guilty profit out of this public distress
and the ruin of thousands.

reeklesinces of a portion of the public prom, the
prevailing worldliness of the largo towns, make
me tremble for the future. It appears to me that

most conduce to the prosperity and employmem
of man—first in time, first in importance. The
newly-created father of mankind was placed by

TILE wAnntotise SYSTEM
To the Etlater of The Preri—Sin : Though TO
lief is the thing uppermost in the mind of every
sufferer from the present pecuniary revulsion, a
word or two concerning the cause of the letter
may net ho out of place. Your journal has re
lieved, the increasing gloom of each seconding
day, with well-timed encouragement, until Its
columns have become a solace. They are read,
respected, and admired, and if the real cause
should be found in them, it will likely be con
sidered in reference to its beating upon a
progressive relief. ' We read of extravagance,
over-trading, over-building, and a variety of fol
lies, but we see but little of the hairspring which
put them in motion. The tariff is referred to by
politicians, and the banks by everybody, but no
one, I believe, has referred to the right thing
yet, I may ho mistaken, but I think I can,
and I shall do so without party predilections
or political bias. Under the tariff of '42, a
system of cash duties wait introduced as a
novelty in this country. When the tariff
of '9O was enacted, that system was con
tinued in theory but not in practice. What is
termed the :warehouse system was engrafted upon
it as a sort of offering to the importers. This aye-
Aeln rti;olYod, a credit of twelve months upon the
duty bentli,with's proviso that the goods should
be left in the bands of the Government Unlit duty
paid. Subsequently the time, 'or 'credit, had been
extended to three years upon like conditions.
This system, it was thought, would not operate as
a credit system, as the goods were withheld in the
meantime; but experience, has demonstrated the
contrery. I will atate a ease by way of illustra
tion. I keep a retail grocery store ; if I buy for
cash I buy as little as I can, consistent with my
business; this is welt understood; but if I can buy
upon a credit of three years for a 'third or a half,
upon no worse' condition than that I am to have
the artiolounly as 'I sell it, I buy in reference to
'speculation, for the condition, as it only withholds
while I do not want, is not in the Way.
This, then, is the, warehouse system, as it now
stands., It gives,a credit of three years upon all'
duties, the conditions, as
, I have shown, doing no
no harm. Man encouragement to speculation it'
is perfect, and, as each, a perfect ourse. Worse
'than this, it hauled, and *ill, so long as it con;
tinues'in force, load to suspension of specie pap:
meat on the part of the banks. Duties have ., to!
be paid in specie—the amount of goods in the,
bonded warehouses is known to the banks, .and,
generally, the timetvben either business or neces
sity will require the amount to be reduced This, of,
course, makes it necessary for the banks to look'
to their spools, and_when any particular article is'
in execes in the warebouies, to look to it with the
utmost caution.' Generally,' the amount of epeols
likely to be wanted 'is too small to ereate 'appre
hension, and it is always too small to inconveni
ence the banks whou taken by itself ,•• but it is im- 1
possible for the former to adopt measures to protect,
any amount of specie without creating alarm,
mid it is this alarm which gives the .trouble. ,
If the banks would go to work so as to insure,
say a hundred thousand dollars of specie in their;
vaults, on a subsequent day, the first step must
be a reduction of leans to the extent of about
four times the amount. Prior to the pres4nt sus ; '
pension, the quantity of sugar in the warehouse
WaSunpreoodentodly large. The trade in this edicl!
is most active in fleptember, as. that is the Grin
when It grains. having aided the speculators, thd
banks bad beacon a sort of party to these transaci
tions ; at least they bad becoine sufficiently Into,
tested to make it a matter of self-protection to keep
an eye on the amount of specie 'that would be
required to pay the duttes. They did so,
and the effort made by them to insure
a 'sufficient supply in their vaults to meet
the demand, at once oppressed and alarmed
the community. This, then, was ,the little prid
mary cause of our present distress, and the ward
house eyeless is the groat cause. If the . sugai.
speculators had been Compelled to pay the duties In
cash, no effort would have blob, or eohld have been''
mado by thorn td !agate the prise, the banks "multi
have had no trouble, the community would not
have been startled, and our present difficulties
Would have beep avoided. . • .
I have eaid that the ware howl° eystora was, 4
8 9 r . t of offering to, the importers.; it was iiptho i l
o vo ; it wd no meatare t and was bositatingt
ly adopted to be judged of by its fruits. My own
opinion is, We have had onongh of it. A solid sys
tem of oaeh duties would be infinitely best for the
country, and safest for the importers. The whole
and solo cause of the overtrading of the last ton
years has boon the facilities afforded by this sys.
tem. If the duties had been exacted in cash, the
banirs would have , boon less improvident, as the
credit at present given redounds to their edvan:
toga as much as to that of the importers. Twelve
years ago I was, on this very day of October,
writing in favor of this system ; I have soon enough
of it.
THE HIGH PRICE OF PROVISIONS
[For The Prem.!
Again and again we see and heat complaints
the high prices of almost every kind of food, and
the wonder, if not indignation, expressed that
they do not come down. Have you, Mr. Editor,
ever fully considered this subject ? If you have
not, let me say a few words to you and your
readers. The prices of things are rarely over
arbitrarily fixed by the sellers at their pleasure,
but are mostly, if not in all oases, the result of
causes beyond their control. Let ue, for example,
take the ease of those who supply our city with
vegetables, dm , dc.—thane being near us, we can
better understand their situation. Why is it that
nearly all the products of the gardens, small farms,
and dairies are fifty per cont. higher than they
were a few years ago? Simply because they cost
the gardeners, farmers, and dairy-men fully fifty
per cent. more than they then did. The land they
cultivate costs them, either by purchase or in rent,
fifty, if not a hundred; per cent. more; their
stock, their manure, the labor they employ, have
all advanced in the same ratio. This is the,aimple
answer to the question ; and until the price and
rent of land comes down, and the cost of stook,
manure, and labor falls to the old standdrd, there
is no good reason why the prices of thdse products
should. If the latter could be forced down; and the
former kept up, the gardeners, farmers, and
dairy-men would have to atop business or be
ruined.
One of the groat evils of the speculative
oharacter of the business of the United States,
for the last few years. has been to with
draw from general agrioulturo too much
labor. Everywhere over the country agricul
tural laborers havo boon mares, and ' their
wages high, and their character deteriorated—
caused by the greater demand for labor, and its
greater compensation In making railroads, in
mining, manufacturing, mechanical, and commer
cial pursuits.
There, is at this time, notwithstanding the good
crops of late yours and the apparent large quan
tities of breadstuffs in the country awaiting a
market, an inadequate supply, if we compare it
with the supply usually on hand a few years since.
Before railroads were run into every part of the
country, and before threshing machines wore
brought lilt° general use, the grain crop oould not
bo got out and brought to the sea-board market
until the ensuing year. From this cause, and the
small demand for our broadstuffs and previsions
abroad, the country generally bad at leasl two
years' crops on hand. Now we have not ono
year's crop on hand. Thu wheat crop is mostly
run off Wore the corn crop is gathered, and
the corn crop is run off bdfore the wheat crop
is gathered. The high price of breadstuffs and
the facilities of getting them to market, had for
some years been lessening our supply of live stock
of every kind, until it has fallen comparatively
much below what it formerly was, and much be
low what it ought to be.
The diminution in tho demand for labor for con
structing railroads and equipping them, and in
building ships, houses, in manufacturing, do., and
its return to agriculture, would soon give ns a full
supply of bromlsluffs, and tho sooner, if the for
eign demand should bo lessened; but it will take a
longer time, some years, to increase our live stock
sufficiently to reduce its value to tho old standard.
The real available wealth of any country con
sists in its etock of " laborers," provisions," and
" gold and silver." With a full supply of these it
is rich anti strong—without either, whatever else
it may have, it is weak to meet the calamities of
" war, pestilence, or famine."
It is our interest therefore, as a country, to use
our efforts less to building up cities and towns and
to turn our labor more to agrtoulture—to raising
more grain and more live stock, and gathering
more gold. Until this shall be done you will not
got cheap food, complain as we may. This, too, will
be found the surest means of preventing panics,
suspensions. and financial crises and their accom
panying distress.

RELIEF FOR THE POOR
For The Press.)
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 21.1357.
Seeing in your paper of this day some observa
tions relative to the relief of the poor of our city the
coming winter, I would suggest a simple plan which,
if carried out In a proper spirit would relieve
many poor wbo are constantly applying for their
immediate wards in our streets, and many who
would willingly give something to every ono that
might apply, end relieve them, at all events, from
starvation.
My plan is simply' this: Let there be called
in every ward in the atty. a meeting for the pur
pose of establishing a Soup and Bread
appoint a committee to coveiet of three or more
persone, who should at once mimed to Lad out a
Imitable place to rent, and put up proper apparatus
for the making of good and wholesome , soup; and
also to contract with 'some ,baker in each ward to
deliver bread at Fatah prices as may be agreed upon
by the committee, and with the butchers to fur-,
midi the meat, and also the vegetableelliat may be'
wanted for the purpose; to make a good and whole
some article for all who may apply.
2d. The committee to call upon all the inhabi
tants in the ward for contributions to aid thi s
charitable work. After having collected s sufficiency
o commence this work, then have printed snumber
of soup and bread tidas; which could he Sold,•
from time to time, to persons disposed to aid the
seeleties and keep them in operation during the
winter ; these tickets might be sold to the charita
ble for (Say) ten for $1; each ticket would entitle the'
bearer to one pint of soup and one loaf of bread,
suffieient for one person. These soeietles being
established and in operation, would much ,relieve
the oomtuunity, whO are anima to give something
to every one that asks, and would know that a
person panting food would be relieved at once by
giving them tickets instead of money , which they
would spend Improperly;' and would also relieve
the giver from the excuse of 'not having any small,
change. Ay the above plan, or one similar, net
now entering more fully into detail. I would eug-'
gest. This is no experiment ; for in the sixth ward
(Green's Court Soup Society) there has been a
soup society that has, I venture to my, done more
good to the poor for $1 than any ether (except
others on this plan) for $2 in the city, and has,
been doing so for a number of years, and there are:
many wards in the city that will require it more
than this to feed the starving . population this
winter. Thhi, or something smiler, ought to be
done at onee—the poor flllOl have s omethino to
eat. J. W. 7).

The Banking System—Modern Banks.
The banking aystent, Which was commenced with
the old Bank of Amsterdeto, and continued and
enlarged In the Bank of England, passed the Ati.
and took root in our country, where it found
the soil still more cengepial, than even in the parent
country.'
-The Bank bf gortb Aminrias; says the Richmond
Examiner, was established in 1781, with a °spite!
of 8400,000, and bearing all the features of he
prototype, 'the Bank of England. In the short
apace of threequarters of a century, the system
bas expanded from one bank to about fourteen
hundred, and from a capital of less than half 3
million to about $370,000,000, without, aPla'
runny, exhausting or diMil2l4/LiDg 41 capacity to
increase.
During the year 1.79;', about one century after its
establishment, the Dank of England suspended
apeelo PaYluenle-an event destined. by its conse
quences, to effect a revolution in public opinion in
relation to the system, and to accelerate the period
which must determine its fate. England was then
engaged in that gigantic struggle which originated
in the French revolution, and her financial opera.
Hone were on the Moat extended sesta, followed by
a corresponding inerease in the action of the bank,
as her fisoal agent.. It sunk under its own action;
payments were suspended. Panic and dismay
spread through the land; ea deep and durable was
the impression that the credit of the bank de.
pendod exclusively on the punctuality of its pay
ments.
In the midst of the alarm, an act of Parliament
was passed making the notes of the bank a legal
tender ; and to the surprise of all, the institution
proceeded on, apparently without any diminution
of its credit. Its notes circulated as freely as ever,
and without any depreciation, fora time, compared
with gold and 'silver, and continued en to do for
upwards of twenty years, with an average diminu
tion of about one per cent, per annum. This shock
did much to dispel the delusion that bank notes
represented gold and silver, and that they circu
lated in consequenoe of such representation—but
without entirely obliterating the old impression
which had taken such strong hold on the public
mind. The 'credit of Its notes during the su;pen•
Mon vas generally attributed to the " tender" not,
and to the great and united resources of the bank
and the Government
• But an event followed of the seine kind, under
ciromustances entirely different, which did more
than any preceding to shed light on the true nature
of the system, and to unfold its vast capacity to sus
tain itself without exterior aid, We became Involved
in the grand political struggle that was going on
in Europe, having declared war against Great
Britain in 1812, and in the short space of one year
our feeble banking system sunk and suspended
under the increased fiscal action of our Govern
ment. We could resort to no "tender" act, we had
no great central regulating power, like the Bank&
England, and the credit and resources of the
Government were comparatively entail.
Under such circumstances a sudden and great
depreciation of bank-notes was °speeded. To the
general surprise, however. they sustained their
credit, without any depreciat on tor a time from
the shock. The system contained within itself a
self-austalning power; there was between the
banks and the community, mutually, the relation
of debtor and creditor—there being at all times
Something more clue to the banks from the commu
nity than from the letter to the former. In this
reciprocal relation of debts and credits, the de
mand of the banks on the community was greater
than the amount of their notes in circulation
could meet—and consequently, 60 long as their
debtors wars solvent, and bound to pay at short
periods, their notes could not full to approximate
the value of gold and silver.• As their debtors
were principally merchants ' these would take
notes to meet their bank-debts—and that whi c h
the merchants and the Government, who are the
groat money-dealers, take. the rest of the commu
nity will also take
Shortly after the termination of the war of 1814,
specie payments were coerced with DS, and a few
years afterwards In Great Britain by statute. in
both countries the restoration was followed by
wide-spread distress, as it always must be when
effected by coercion—for the simple raison that
banks cannot pay unless their debtors first Pet',
and that to coerce the banks compels them to
coerce their debtors before they have the means to
pay. Their failure must be the consequence, and
this involves the failure of the banks themselves,
carrying with It universal distress.
Although specie payments were restored, and
the system apparently placed where it was before
the suspension, the great capacity it proves to pos
sess of sustaining itself without specie payments
was not forgot by those who had its direction. The
impression that It was indispensable to the elm
latton cf bank-notes that they should represent
the precious metals was almost obliterated, and the
latter were regarded rather as restrictions on the
free and profitable operation of the system, than
as the means of its security. Hence a feeling of
opposition to gold and silver gradually grew up en
the part of the banks which created an avow du
carp', followed by a moral resistance of specie
payments, which, in tact, suspended In a great de
gree the conversion of their notes into the precious
metals, long before the Suspension of 1837 and the
present one. A sudden and vast increase of the
system, with a great diminution of the; metallic
basis in proportion to bank transactions, folio ed.
The privileges of banking, instead of being, con
fined to a few institutions, were extended to many, '
in Great Britain and In this country. All restraint
on the system was removed, and hanks shot up in
every direction, meeting with no cheek, except the
tremendous one of 1837 which prostrated so many
of them, until the system has reached the stupen- ,
does magnitude which we witness now.

pulsion from their appropriate sphere as the me

have gone so far, under the necessary operation of
the system, that they are no longer sufficient to
form a basis of the widely extended system of
banking'. From the first, the gravitation of the
system has been in one direction—to dispense with
the use of the, precious metals; and hence, from
being the representative, their notes have become
the substitute for gold and Inver; and hence,
finally, its present tendency to become a mere ri
