LINES ON THE BANK CONVENTION To
BE HELD IN PROVIDENCE

Anl-Jackson wake up! and your armor prepare.
The 18th of January soon will be here
Then little Rhode-Isand must rise in her might
And beat up the wigs for desperate fight
Then turn ont your squadrons, in Providence meet
The silk stocking Gentry will give you treat,
Their hook they will bait for the bellies of wigs
With plenty of Turkies, and Chickens and Pigs
With cranberry, and pastry, and puddings beside,
And Brandy, and wine till your bellies are cloyd,
So that when you retire, the silk stockings will tell We
Don't vote against us, with stock in Your belly.
To their friends from the Country, their love is sincere
Hhen present. when absent, they treat with sneer
And talk of the big listed clod hopping race,
(Hypocrcal Rascas) though fair to their face
They will talk of distress both in Country and Town
Ofstarvng mechanics, and commerce down, o.
Of Factories prostrated, all in a heap
And suggest that You instantly market your sheep
They will tell you that money, tho plenty will soon
Take the wings of the morning, and fly to the moon
And refer to the part when in aid of the panic,
They bated their trap for the honest mechanic!
With the first they seduce, with the last they devour;
But intelligent freemen begin to beware
That wigs are no better than natural huir

! We observe that the Hon. Dutee J. Pcarce is one
of the Committee of twenty-four appointed in pur-
suance of the resolution of Mr. Hawes of Kentucky
for the purpose of investigation into the affairs of the
Military Academy at West Point. Although there
was but little room for a choice from the rcpresen-
tatives of this State (there being only two) yet we
are glad to find that the choice has fallen upon the
one who is in every point of view the most eligible
for the business to be undertaken. 1t to be hoped
that the Committee will perform their duty thorough
y; and II the Academy is, as it is alleged, mere
nursery for the young sprigs of the arisocracy of
the United States, that congress will at once cut it
up root and branch and send the young gentle
men back to their fathers pariors to learn and prac
tce the airs and notions of nobility at the expense
of those who begot them, instead of the honest de-
mocracy of the land who earn their bread bv the
sweat of the brow. While upon this subject, we
will ask the question, what possible benefit has the
West Point Academy been to the people of this
cOuntry2 Has it made or can it make Washing
ton, 6reeni or jackson? Can it create a soldier
and patriot by learning boy to practice a few an
tics, to strut about street and gallant ladies' or to
jump Jim Grow in a ball room! Why then should
the bone and muscle of the country be taxed hun
dreds of thousands of dollars annually support an
useless set of drones, whose only merit nine cases
out of ten that they happen to be born of wealthy
parents men of great political influence We
look upon this institution do upon the Bank
as one of deadly hostility to the principles cf our
democratic government. TO say, that it is the bull
wark of defence in times of war is all fol de rol
You might well say that it can make a brave sol
dier of cowardly potron, who has not pluck enough
to go to bed in the dark or an honest patriot of
Bank tory or a Hartford Convention Whig. If
nature has not provided the ground work no Acad-
emy or institution under Heaven can raise super
structure that will stand the storms of war; or the
temptations which made Arnold turn traitor to his
country. But if she has planted in any of her chill
dren the seeds of greatness, 1t requires of the
hot bed influence of West Point to bring them to
maturity. 1t depends solely upon perseverng ex-
erton of our faculties to make us great and
distinguished in the eyes of our fellow men. 1t
was such exertion that made the thousands of
great names whom history has immortalizcd; and it
is such an eXertion combined with suitable occasions
that will in future make great soldiers and honest
patriots whether the West Point rookery is suffer-
ed to exist, at once broken up.
