THE LAWLESS CUllltENCY,
Wo did intend to have written an nrtirln
on the state of the cHrroncy, for the espe-
nai niiormatton ot the readers or the Moun
taineer; but when wo approach the subject,
wo found it so intrinsically ridiculous, that
ivc were obliged to give it up, unless we
rouTd strike on a strain adapted -to its de
formities, and therefore wo "beg leave to
tbmit our views in a few doggerel stan
ds. And if wo have not strictly conform
ed to the law of versification, it -will be rer
mcmbercd that wo have selected a lawless
subject, when wo write of
SLKG MONEY.
And is tins shabby scrap of printed paper,
The honest representative of cash 1
Does this mean wealth 1 Oris.it but a caper
Wkiclribrtune cut, when sho would cut iilash1
What is it good for 1 It will light a taper,
A pipe or n scgar the worthless trash!
If this indeed wcro part of "ike experiment"
We weuld not bo so much inclined to merriment.
Hut this.is no metallic Jackson money:
"Pis but u bubble on the mighty ocean
Of credit and the fact is rather funny,
To sco the folks in such a great commotion,
In this our blessed land of milk and honey)
About a thing which may bo called "notion"
Because a notion, the it should bo curious,
Is but another name for something spurious.
For instance, wooden nutmegs, wooden hams
And wooden flints, and other ingenuities,
Have often gulled and tickled Unclo Sam's,
Wholo family, so fond of superfluities,
Hence Icgislationjust like singing psalms)
Is not without its many incongruities: .
For cvory tasto likes somo peculiar flavor,
And every ear somo scmi-demi quaver.
Now who's to blame for this sad innovation!
Whoso rascally experiment is this 1
Who scattered over this devoted nation
A currency at which the world must hiss 1
Alas this wretched paper inundation
The Whigs have brought about: For hit or miss
They dashed nway to multiply disasters
And filled tho land with these infernal 'plasters.'
Tho Benton 'mint drop,' or tho 'yellow jackets,'
The Whigs called merely 'humbug' financiering
And bought them up and fen them off'm packets,
To justify their own insulting sneering.
And panics, pressures deviltries and rackets,
In close succession rapidly appearing,
To make us apprehensive of destruction,
And plunge us in political seduction.
As money-Is the vcryrQotof evil,
It follows, that, to multiply "facilitici-"
Is to enable men to servo the Devil,
According to the best of their abilities,
It gives the passions such a chance to revel,
Exhibiting such wonderful agilities
In overleaping most of the proprieties,
Which bind together civilized societies.
Jackson and Benton, and the "golden age,"
The Banks and Whigs Incessantly assailed;
For paper paper paper was the rage,
And so the paper finally prevailed:
Another worth o people havo to wage
Against tho ills which paper has entailed,
Upon, a land so beautiful and sunny,
Now cursed with worso than continental money.
Behold tho picture! Sec our lovely land,
The choicest spot beneath tho cope of Heaven,
What rich resources, all at our command,
What boundless blessings Providence has given;
But who the paradox con understand,
That now, in eighteen hundred thirty soven,
Without a cause whioh can bo comprehended,
Srzcn and coxi-idesce arc uotii subpenjiidI
Have wo forgot tho lessons of the past 1
Can nations never learn! Will these disasters
Not teach us wisdom, wisdom that will lost !
Or shall we let tire Banks become our masters;
To stop and start just when they please and cart
Upon tho world theso most infernal "plastersl"
Shall these dread ills bo borrroond stilt deplored,
OrcoNirsExcE ahd specie be rcetoTedt
The silver mult be paid, or else tho charters
Of all our papcr-moncy operations
Must perish sans tho sanctity of martyrs,
For violating ail their obligations,
AtsU even if they cry aloud for quarters,
In supplicating' tones, or intonations,
To say they will, or can, or should bo heard,
Is clearly most prodigiously absurd.
So now, or never, let them do wltat's fair,
Jtat let them seize tho present opportunity;
For if they don't 'tis proper to declare,
That, in an honest virtuous community,
Who havo borne more than many people bear
The Banks can't brave the law with sheer impu
puaity, Because the- law must be supreme by Jupiter!
Should whigs and antics both grow worre or stu
pider! To talk of the supremacy of laws,
And jbsuo lawless paper is a test,
Which clearly proves them hypocrites, fecottse
To do the worst, they try their very best:
Their custom is to err, and always was,
Ho "malus usus abofendus est'
"Expttngc" the plasters, Si the whig most follow,
Then use the astiee up, and beat them hollow!
Pedantry Correl:1lnhe ohyPati
elan Academy of Scinces, one1 of its mem

that tides wcro provided by tlio Creator for
the purpose of bringing vessels in and out of

Harmless .Deception. In the time of
Indian troubles, an Indian visited the house
of Gov. Jcnks,. of 'Rhode Island, when the
Governor took occasion to request him, if
any strange Indian should come to his
wigwam, to let 'hrm Icnowlf, which the
Indian promised to do ; but to secure his
fidelity, the Governor told him that when ho
would give him such 'information ho would
give him a cup of flip. Some time after,
the Indian came again. 'Well, 3nbcnop,
strange Indian came to my house last
night !' Ah,' says tho Governor, 'and what
did he say V 'He no speak,' replicfd the
Indian. 'What ! not speak at all V added
the Govcnoj. 'No, he no speak at all.'
That certainly looks suspicious, said his
excellency, and inquired if ho were still
there, and "being told that he was, ordered
the promised cup of flip. When this was
disposed of, and tho Indian was about to
depart, he mildly said, 'Mr. Gubenor, my
squaw have child last night;' and thus the
Governor's alarm was suddenly changed
into disappointment, and the strange Indian
into a new born pappoosc.
