Which Will Tnsy Take To ?
"The people of this country, during
-Le past twelve ye-rs. have been living
nt a rate of extravagance tint cannot
be kejt tii), through the ordiniry
channels of peaceful every day life
Wc must make up our minds to adopt
the ways our fatners pursued from
the time of the crank, that followed
the War of 1812, to the time that in
flation aud extravagance sprang out
of tue wr with Slavery for the bene
fit of Labor, or sink into miserable
bau.ruibcy as a nation. The extrav
agant ways, and the extravagant
tattt.a of the people have caused tnem
to plunge deep into debt Fifty per
cent, of the men of every communi
tv are pasU.ed over with mortgages.
Ail tae corporations are covered over
vit'i mortgages. The most of the
ritif! 1 laiye towns are in the same
t:n ui . .1 -dough, and so with the ma
jority of "mmies. The country is
rcikir:g down with its own load, or
the lo;id that it piled on itself. The
ways of the fathers, of patient toil,
will in time relieve us.
There is one way of return to the
-xtrav.ig'int ways of living and ex
travagant business whirl that char
acterized the days of the war with
the South. That war is through the
medium of Foreign War. By foreign
war of five years' duration, all the
surplus material now on hand, of
k-vds, and wares, would be so drawn
upon that every industry would be
revived into life and profitable em
ployment When entered upon such a course
of extravagance and robbery, it will
-jo to turn back, for to turn back
will bring about a state of panic,
sli-ir.iago and hard times, 6uch as the
country is experiencing now. The
only way will be to keep making war.
As soon as one war is ended, make
another, and in every case compel
the conquered pecple to pay all the
costs, and set governors over the
buds conquered, who may be ap
pointed as governors of territories
are ppoit. Mexico would do to
begin with. After Mexico, Canada ;
after Canadx, Spain, and after pain,
6nch other powers as it may be pru
d.2it and expedient to conquer, to keep
up our ways of living. If, however, we
fehould be conquered instead of con
quering, of course that would end
the txistf nee of the Republic and her
extravagant ways ; but such a result
i not to be thought of. Then, aftf-r
ail toe world had been conquered,
after all her treasures had been ap
propriated to our ambition and ex
travagant desires, there would be no
mo't funds to keep up the extrava
gant ways, and the -nd will come of
itself p.nd work our ruin.
At Hi st thought all this may seem
visionary, but there is nothing vision
ary about it. It will be, if pursued,
but history repeating itself. It is
not noceSM'-ry to point out the cases
of Kiig ru!o thai, took such policy
for tLeir cour.-e ; but the eximple of
Home, a semi Republic, is better in
)ouit. Seven hundred years Rjnie
waged a war against all people, and
conquered all people, and compelled
them to pay her debts and keep up
her extravagant ways, and after there
were "-O more rich governments to
rob, she fell a victim to her own ex
travagance, end went into a decline
that was beyi.nd the reach of cure.
The American people are not beyond
the reach of cure, for the generation
among which extravagance took root
y-i lives, ""id it can yet be rooted out.
ill 2V will they take to, the ways of
la fibers, or the ways of the Ro
man.- 1
'las. i-vt fifteen yeis have been
projective of m.ny swindling cor
pii?rii!S. und enterprises, that have
letn so f.ii;i ed that authority of law
is S3 closely adhered to, that when
mea who are caught by the swindle,
attempt to assert their rights, to j
resent the outrage by refusing to fur- J
ther stand and deliver, they are hur- j
tied into court, and there have the I
outrage continued npon them. How t
ni.iny each outrages have been gotten
off on communities are too numer
ous to mention. It is not much of
a wonder then that the Georgia Con
vention repudiates certain bonds and
(securities. There are acts of corpo
rations and decrees of court, not so
far away as Georgia, that if passed
on by a convention of the people
aud submitted tj a Tote, would be
.repudiated by an overwhelming ma
jority. If a party enter a community and
in a private way play a confidence
game, the confidence nun, if taken
int. court, is served as he should be,
but if a corporation, so called, enter
a community and play a confidence
pirue, and swindle people out of
thon ida of dollars, there seems to
be little or no redress against the
swindler in the courts. A private,
potty swindler never gots the benefit
of the doubt, but a corporate swin
dlar gets the benefit of every iota of
i juht, and thus in too many instances
t'aa instruments of law are made to
over-ride what law is instituted for
among men. There is not much
vjnJer thut there is so little regard
f law.
