POLITICAL.
THE CRISIS.
By the prudence, decision and 'firmness
or the republicans of 1800, tho deep foun
'dations then laid for establishing a monar
chical government in these States, were
broken up. The alien find sedition laws
wcro repealed, and llio bank aristocrats who
had identified themselves with tho govern--went,
were stripped of their power. The
same power now as then, is struggling to
establish a, monied oligarchy upon the ru
ins of republican 'government. The torics
add federalists of 1800, arc the bank whigs
and antimasons of 1837.
Mr. Jefferson once said: "Tho federal
ists now call themselves republicans, but
'Hhc name alone is changed their prinei
"'plos are tho same. The parties of Whig
"and Tory are thosC of nature. They 6x
"ist in all countries, whether called by these
"names, or by those of aristocrats and.dcm
"ocrats, wings and radicals, scn-ilcs and
"liberals. The sickly, weakly, timid man
"fears the people, and is a tory by nature:
""The healthy, strong and bold cherishes
"thenv, and is formed a whig by nature."
Observation and experience prove the
truth of these distinctions between the great
political parties. Tho avaricious, the
proud, the selfish, the sickly, weak and
timorous men of our day arc, with few ex
ceptions, found cowering under the shadow
of the bank. These are the materials for
hiakJng anti-masons, abolitionists and bank
whigs. Conscious that their sympathies
exclude them from communion" with the
grcjal body of the people, they cling togeth
er in support of aristocratical forms, monop
olies and bank privileges, and indulge in
Bccrct hatred against the pccplc. These
were the genuine tories of the revolution.
On the other hand, tho generous, the disin
terested, the healthy, strong and bold, are
generally found in the ranks of the repub
lican party. They partake of the spirit of
the great mass of the community their
sympathies arc with the people. ' They
confide, in their virtue and intelligence, and
their capacity for self government. These
wcro the whigs of the revolution, and to
such men arc we indebted for that large
share of civil liberty which has fallen lb
our lot. There is a clinching proof of
these truths to be found in the fact, that
most young men who arc left to themselves
to judge of political parties, range them
selves on the democratic side, By look
fag around us we will find in every section
jfiid quarter of the state, leading anti-masons
and bank whigs, who, when young,
ardent, ingenuous and,.confiding, set out
upon llieir political career in the democratic
ranks but when the cold, calculating, tim
orous caution of age that ambition which
is a vice avarice and selfishness, take pos
session of tho man, he naturally becomes a
lory a bank whig, an anti-mason, a mon
opolist. Hence, many of those who once
were loudest in defence of equal rights and
popular sovereignty, aie now tho wjlling
tools of the bank. The present Governor,
and many of his officers and supporters,
furnishing living testimony of such aposta
cy. They have lost the confidence of the
people, and arc seeking shelter under the
band. They have exchanged the generous
support of the community, for the concen
trated power and corrupting influence of a
monied oligarchy, and are now struggling,
with "all the aristocrats, monarchists and
monopolists, to unsettle the foundations of
this government to divest the people of
their rights, and to organize a government
deriving its powers from tho bank, and sub
ject to its supervision and dictation.
To the people we appeal, with confi
dence, in this emergency. The great ma
jority arc republicans by nature. Thoy arc
free, and wish all men to be free. Their
confidence is in themselves thoy arc the
legitimate rulers of tho land they derive
'their sovereignty from their God, and hold,
it by a title paramount to tho two-penny
pretended contracts of bank torics and mon
opolists. They arc preparing themselves for the
'decision of the great question, whether
they or the lank shall rule? They arc
rccurrinfr to the foundations of tho Govern
ment, to the wisdom and experience of
those great and good men who founded it,
and by these lights of popular sovereignty
'they will be guided. They arc examining
the rotten and corrupt (itfc by which the
-bank and its band of mercenaries and mon
mrchists claim to rule the land, Engaged in
this examination wc see a great people calm
ly deliberating upon tho best means of lire
serving to themselves and their posterity
tho inestimable blessings of civil and reli
gious liberty, and the result of their rcflcc
tiions will be such as must cheer tho heart
rof every lover of free government and equal
-rights. '. Reporter.
These arc the warning words of tho groat
oraclcof deirio'cracy, Thomas Jefiprson.
It is grateful to the patriot to sec the demo
cratic editors throughout the statcih this
tremendous crisis ofour all'airs, looking to
the great light of republican government to
guitle us through the gloom which the bank,
and monied corporations have spread over
the land. The great lights of the revolu
tion of 1770, and 'the cfvil revolution of
1800, can alorro dispel thp clouds and dark
ness that hang over us. The single, eye of
Thomas Jefferson saw the machinations of
tho monarchists and aristocrats. IIo met
them and triumphed in the war of the rev
olution he met them and triumphed, in the
civil revolution of 1800, and with his com
patriots, redeemed these states from tho
controlling power of British agents, Bank
aristocrats and monarchists, and restored to
the people their just rights. He knew tho
wiles and the tricks of the foes of equal
privileges and sp'read before tho people,
in living characters, their dangers arid the
remedy. With what singular accuracy he
has given the outlines of the present condi
tion of thingsl "Jin aristocracy founded
on banking institutions and monied cor
porations HIDING AND RULING OVER THE
PLUNDERED PI.OU01IMAN AND DEOOAUED
yeomanry." Sec the thousands of indus
trious mechanics and manufacturers who
have been deprived of the means of living
by the accursed derangements of the cur
rency, and tha panics produced by the
Hank! Mark the unholy speculations in
bread-stuffs, made with the means and un
der the patronage of the Bank, by which
the poor have been almost deprived of bread!
Ijook at tho "shin plaster" currency which
the Bank has made the representative of
labor and property, taxing the labour of tho
many for the benefit of the few! It ia thus
this monied corporation, this "balance-
wheel" of Gov. ltitncr this rank oligarchy
is RULING AND RIDING OVER THE
PLUNDERED PLOUGHMAN AND
BEGGARED YEOMANRY!" Ib.
"HAS IT A STING IN ITS TAIL?"
When the charter of the Bank of the U
nited States was presented, in 18U0, to Gov.
Ritncr for his signature, his Excellency
was pleased most jocularly to enquire
"Ttficlher it had a sting in the tail?"
Tho question thus jocularly asked can now
be seriously and satisfactorily answered by
tho people. The "sting in its tail" has
slang thousands of honest citizens, and de
prived them of their regular means of liv
ing. It has stung the gold and silver cur
rency and expelled it from circulation, and
has venomously supplied its place by a tor
rent of "sliin-plasters."-l-It lids slung the
trade and business upon tho public im
provements, aiid cankered public confi
dence. It has slung the general welfare
and prosperity of the people! Will it not,
in the agonies produced by the overwhelm
ing dread of popular sovereignty, sting the
Governor himself, and all who ate seeking
protection from its power ? Ib.

There is "iio better anecdote for hard limes

cheerful faro and a hearty welcome at home.
As, without them, all the wealth of Peru
cannot confer happiness, co with them the
deepest poverty cannot take it away. A
man may be fretted and wearied, crossed
in business, nay, ruined if you please, and
a single glance of kindness from the wo
man that he loves, and the children that he
doles on, will drive away caro and make
him as nappy at heart as if millions were
his to command, and worldly friends as
plenty as black-berries; Sat. Chronicle.
OPPRESSIVE FLOUR MONOPOLY.
Wc hope if the heartless conspiracy spo
ken of in the following, from the Baltimore
Gazette has extended to our state, that our
farmers will not aid it by selling their grain
to those who wish to speculate upon the
wants and necessities of the community.
The man who monopolizes provisions and
particularly bread stufTs, tho staff of life,
justly deserves the execrations of the com
munity against whose welfare fie sins.
.Ilarmuig Flour . combination. The
Buffalo Journal of the 1st says there is eve
ry reason to beliovc that notwithstanding
the immense yield of tho grain crops this
season, tho manufacturers and dealers in
flour are busily at work to forestall and buy
up tho market. The extent and ramifica
tion of this secret combination is incredible
and their resources ample. The above
paper says:
"We could name, we believe a single
bank for instance eatswatd of us, which
within a few days has engaged to make
discounts to the amount of at least 81-10,-
000 to three individuals for the purchase of
wheat and the agents ol which individuals
have already passed through this city and
gone west to purchase wheat of the new
crop.
Wd could also name an association of
individuals in another part 6f our state, who
already own one .'bank in Michigan and
another in tho valley of the Scioto, Ohio;
if not indeed dtner banks, whoso agents are
in the field making purchases, to say noth
ing of the dozens of other largo rfiilling e-
stablishments who nave tliciragouts scatter
ed in all directions and whoso means obtain
ed from a large number of banks which arc
completely at their control, arc of the most
ample kind. And lurther wo think wc
could designate from seven to ten banking
institutions in this state which aro themcro
creatures of these monopolists and three
fourths of whoso discounts are either indi
rectly made to these men and whose de
mand they daro not at any time gainsay.
And further still, wc most conscientiously
bolievc that an effort will he mado by these
monopolists to induce the bank co'mmis
sioncrs to deal most rigorously with, or, in
tho words of one of them, to "spur iltj" all
tho westoro banks at least which will not
come into their measures and minister to
their speculations."
Gov. Ritner"! still romains dumb in rela
tion to the Banks'. When will he cease to
violate the Law by demanding a statement
of their condition!
PiTTsnunoii. According to Harris'sticw

"I HOPE I DON'T INTRUDE."
A thriving tradesman in a southern srlcct
of our city, who had married and was liv
ing happily with his wife and family, had
his domestic peace disturbed last week, by
the very mal apropos visit of a former wife,
whoso existence ho had entirely forgotten
to mention in the hurry of his second mar
riage. The unwelcome visiter is described
as being of the true Xantippc stock, while
the chosen partner of his name and home,
is said to bo 'extremely amiable. The thun
derstricken, puzzled, dumbfounded trades
man, by trade a tailor, was so affrighted at
the occurrence, that he did not even stay to
sing
"How happy could I be with cither"
but fairly fled from the scene of action, and
has not been heard o( since. Much sym
pathy is felt for tho second wife, who is the
mother of two beautiful children. The le
gal claimant was too furious in her manner,
and too vulgar in her abuse, to excite that
commisscration which her case certainly
ought to command. Saturday Chron.
The Now York Times informs us that a
"Mr. B., -10 years a resident of Now York,
removed wi'th one son aiid three daughters,
to Michigan in 1833; purchased a cultivated
farm of 3'20 acres for 81,500, on the road
from Detroit to St. Joseph's; raised -1,000
bushels of wheat, corn, and oats in 1830, and
-1,500 bushels in 1837. His crops last year
sold for $3,500. His three daughters have
married, his produce finds a ready market
at his door, and he is independently rich.
