FOR THE SPECTATOR.



Mn. PAINTER, III
In looking over your papers / find in
some of them pieces written by learned
gentlemen against the banking mania.
whilst others with all the eloquence OF
Cicero or Demosthenes extol the insti-
tuition, Git reminds me of the trial before
the Dutch justice Of the peace.) Having
been employed by many gentlemen in the
course Of my life, it has sometimes hap.
pened that have been where there, was
tolerable libraries, but which has been
of but little use to me on account of my
shortness of memory; though l have
frequently set for hours of such after.
moons as the present one, perusing some
work contained in them. Although |
am not a lawyer, nor yet one who has re-
received collegiate education, have
thought proper this rainy afternoon (hav-
ing no other time from my occupation,
to communicate to the public my ideas
on the origin, Progress and end Of bank
ing, with proposition to establish new
one.
1t has been observed by some elegan,
writers of the paper system, that the pre-
sent race of money makers are the Iegi-
innate descendants of those that poverty
dashed out Of the temple of Jerusalem.
The remark is most just, and obvious to
Misunderstanding Of every man.
Long after the period when the specu-
lating Jews were whipped out of the tenn
pie, the first institution of banks Gas we
are informed BY the Encyclopedia was
in Italy, where the Lombard Jews KEEP,
benches in the market places for the ex.
change OF money and bills, and 6anco be-
ing the Italian name for bench, banks
took their title from the world. e. from
the Jews benches in the market places.
These Jews however were much bet.
ter than the present race which is at the
top Of the wheel. They gave money in
exchange for money and bills-ours give
rage for lands and houses, and money
and bills, and the product of labor. In
other respects they are alike, the Jews
would not work, nor will our spectators.
They lived by twisting and turning, and
making false representations Of the true
value Of things which they wished to
buy. or in putting up the worth Of such
Is they wish to SELL. and so do our pre-
sent money manufacturers. The name
Of Jew and rag6aron is synonymous, ex-
acting the pound Of flesh nearest the
heart, If it be conditioned for in the bond,

POETRY.
FROM THE TRENTON True AMERICAN.
THE CHURCH.

How solemn, Lord, and grand, the place
In which we meet to seek thy face
Whence, from thy glorious throne above,
Through thy dear Sons redeeming love,
JEHOVAH condescends to hear
The vilest worm that seeks with fear.
But ali /! how prone earth's sinful sons
TO stay where pride or fancy runs!
Fen while we tread these holy courts,
fh' apostate mind to earth resorts,
Neglects her God, his house, and day,
In dreams and visions scars away,
And leaves, to please her sense and eyes,
The purest bliss beneath the skies!
That bliss which they alone can know
Who, counting dross all things below,
From that exhaustless fount above
Partake of free, Redeeming Love.
o God. forever from thy house
Drive far all formal, careless VOWS;
Inspect each thought, wish, song and prayer,
Purge out the sin that mingles there:
Forbid that, while our lips we raise
In loud hosannas to thy praise,
Our hearts should for one moment be
Immersed In earthly vanity!
But give us grace, through thy dear son,
To live the life the godly run,
So when in death we've made our bed,
Well life begin with Christ our head.
