The Arkansas advocate., 1834-03-07

The Squire did it like to ci.a. lie
 said the horses he had, knew the road as 1 well as he did, and they wouldat boil nor
 kick. UP, and when they came o up hill
 work he could depend on 'om.
 | Then agin our folks wanted hle Squire to change harness-they said iheF had hew
 patent collars, and horse could pull as
 much agin with 'em as with the old fhsh-
 ion'd collars. Well the Squire ddnt like that notion mother. So to rights iheYtold
 the squire he must give up the lines well that he wouldn't do he said. uiihaial or-
 ders from the owners of the tealn-shey had appointed him. and so long as shev. l kept him there, he would 20 along and do l his duty, jest as he had done as.a aarnt lsiefs fn lxahia efasiassa lasxsa oss za fs EIlfs road, and trying to make him try newplans.
 And with that, all our folks madda re-
 gtilar battle on the squire-some polx a.
 way out of his wagon part of tlI bags and boxes, and divided it round amdg the drivers of other wagons, who was mixen |in tse scuflle too, and away they qack' l off with it. Some undertook to cit the squire's traces, they thought they w3s only i leather and rope traces, but the squie was too deep for lem, for his traces Ias all chains kivered with leather, and sb they split their jaes-nives. Some vent on a. head and rolled stones in the road, daei dug deep holes, and tried all they could tb make the squire upset, and threw stones and mud at his horses; but the squire kept pn, his horses didn't finch, and as they haddfag'd the big wagon over worse roads n ihcir day, they. went along without accident.-- Well now 1t turns out that all the wagons that drove of so wit4 part of the suire's load are in trouble, for the first niece of l muddy road, they all stuck fast, and there I they are now. One wants the other to give him pull ard lift; but they say they all want lifting-fhe squire has jest conc up with enl, and now they want him to hitch on to em and drag en all out together; but he says that's impossible, the most he can dois to take back the load they tooiS from l his wagon, and then perhaps they can git tout fsthe mud; but t is more than his team can do, and and he wont nln the risk of breakin his harness or iniure his horses to drag em all out. together. Well now that's jest about the condition of things. and the longer they remain so, tho worse il 1 will be--the longer horses and waggons stand knee and hub deep in mud, the less able they'll be to get out ont.
 l And now Illleave etn tllaE(at fssell. and and what t really is, ior 10 hear some 7oEs talk about 1t, one would think 1t was mos shockin monster, and that 1t was pretty much nothing else but squire Riddle, whef lit Is no more the squire than that big wag- ! gon Is, not a grain more. Look at this long list of names-weil these are the own. CTS of the bank-here we sec in the first
 place the natipn owns one fifth, and the rest is scattered round, as you see here, among an evelastin batch of folks all about this I country, and some in forin countries; and am glad to see on the list here old widows and old men, ard trustees of children, who haint get no parents Twin and all our own people, they put their mony in tho stock of this Bank for safe keepirl--not to speculate l-and jest so, with the innocent foreigners, and the best ont IS they have paid our l folks a pretty high premium for every dol lar ont; well these are the folks then that compose the Bank.
 ! Now what way tlo they want this Bank I managed? the business of the Bank IS to loan mony, and is jest for all the world like any rich man whose business IS to loan out his money-is 1t his interest to dabble in politics or to let politicians dabble with him? not an atom on 1t, lnever new one of your rale politicians who ever could pay I his debts, and they aint the ixInd offoiks people like to deal with any, who may have money to loan; they know that talking pol itics, and gettin things into snarls jestto an- swer party purposes aint the way to pay interest nor principle mother. and politicians 1 in Bank are the worse folks Ill theworid for the owners of the Bank, for the most on em haint got money of their own to lend but they are plagy ready to loan oth- CT folks money to brother politicians of the same persy-
 No 10, q man who has got his nnony loaIi- cd out (and it's jest so with Bank wants to see every body busy and industrious and mind their business and increase their pro- perty, for then they will be able te pay In- terest and principal too; they don't like to l see things all mixed up with polltics and people quarreIlin and disputin, aad when they do, they git the money back in their I pockets agin as soon as they can. for they know that politics aint profitable business,
 hen 1t comes to this, that if the Bank IS. what have said 1t Is (and it's notlin else,) t aint such monster as some folks try to 1 make us think 1t is, and instead of being dangerous monster, 1 see, and kfow eve-. l ry body else must see, who don't squint at lii, but looks t strait in the i;sce-that it's
 natur is jest like the natuf of any man who has got property in the country, and that IS ] to have every thing go on in harmony and
 with industry and honesty and accordin to
