THE TREASURY "MONsTER."

Tho movements of the administration in rela.
ton to .bo currency are all made with the Interior de.
sign of establishing Treasury Bank Whe the
portizans of MIR Van Buren, affect to feel "holy
horror" at the idea of banks, especially char.
tered by the United States under the control Of
private citizens, they prepared to swallow
| Government Bank, however monster'llke it may
be in its features and proportions, under the survei
lance of the Executives without hestency. They
are the germ of an engine of power too great to
be safely put into the hands of any President Mr.
Bell, of Tennessee, who, not long since was per-
mtted to look into the charne house of our free
institutions uncurtaned, spoke in the House in ref
erence to this subject as follows
Mr. Bell declared that il was fact, perfectly well
known TO himself, perfectly well known to the
Speaker, perfectly well known to other gentlemen
at that time in the confidence of the Executive
that the war UPON the Bank of the United States
WAS EXPRESSLY COMMENCED WITH THE INTENTION
and design of substituting in the place of that in
stitution GOVERNMENT BANK-a bank on the plan
ofthe late State Bank of Tennessee, the Common
wealth Bank of kentucky, and other similar insti.
tulions-a bank. to be orone1 by the government,
and the government and tho profits of which should
accrue to the government. To be sure the expert
monts of this sort which had been tried in the
States, had turned out very unuckily; still, it
desired TO try that EXPERIMENT more, on a
much greater scale, and under circumstances sup.
posed to be more favorable. Such aoas the dcsign

Bdnh 1t is true, that about the year 1882 this de.
sign was abandoned. But from present aprearan.
ces, tbs design was revived-it was resolved to at.
tack the entire banking system of the country, Grip
pied it Is, by existing circumstances, and 10 sub,
stitute, in the place Oft Il TREAS BANK, which
should have monopoly ofthe entire circulation Of
the country. Mr. Bell regarded the proposed issue
of Treasury notes as an entering wedge to this pro
iect--it Il scheme FAMILIARIsING THE PEo.

SONG
Let others sing of regal state,
~ lords and ladies fair,
VINO on some naughty monarch wait,
ana honiage to him swear;
Their pomp and pride we all deride:
Well never bend the knee
To mortal king-but ever sing
We're Farmers and we're Free.
It's true, we labor for our bread
And so did Adam too;
A little toll we'll never dread
Whle we re so well TO do:
men raise the song throughout the throng-
We never bend the knee
10 mortal king-but galy sing
We're Farmers and we're Free.
lis labor nerves the man to fight
In freedoms glorious cause ;
And freedom is the Farmers right,
By his Creators laws:
This right we'll keep or in death sleep-.
Wen never bend the knee
10 mortal king-but Joyous sing,
were Farmers and we re Free
Who led our fathers on to reap
Their harvest of renown
w, W hen en- Britans war-dogs cross'd the deep
10 hunt our birth rights down?
Farmer: Yes-he Taught rs ,bis
10 never bend the knee
10 mortal king--but boldly sing,
we re Farmers and we re Free
inc half aedgd scholar we'll may say,
On earth there's nought but care
But would he throw his books away.
And breathe the morning air
behlnd the plough, 'twoud smooth his brow:
Like us, he'd happier be
Wan ian hightest king-and with US sing,
were Farmers and we'ro Free
We farmers talk not of life's ills
Except when wool is low
S Uf When by chance we get bad bills;
rms vexes us you know
But yet we will re-echo STILL
Wen never bend the knee
10 mortal king-but gaily sing
we re Farmers and we re Free
But we, who say there's nought in life
that's worth the living for,
behold the farmers cheerful wife.
And own what fools yo are
1Hin JON US now, just from tho plough
w no will not bend the knee
10 mortal king, while we can sing
we re Farmers and wore Free
When wint'ry storms rage long and loud.
The farmer ut his fire,
While and daughters r,,nod hin, o.o,1
eeis Joys that never tire
I'lth such band Join heart and hand.
And never bond the knee
10 mortal king, but ever sing.
We're Farmers and we're Fee
Come al! who love country's veal,
Come all who haze dull care,
AND see what pleasures farmers feel.
On this, the Farmers Fair
And raise again the Joyous strain
Wen never bend the knee
10 mortal kng--but ever sing
We're Farmers and were Free.
But there is ONE to whom we d bow.
With alteration due;
y, may His blessing crown us now
And follow us life through;
10 Him let's raise the song of praise,
10 Him let's bend the knee,
He is our King-to Him let's sing,

working oxen as were here on Thursday. The
nlouqhipg match attracted much attention. There
were four competitors on the ground, either OF
which would turn a iurrow. twenty rods without
breaking tho sward, and the difference in them
seemed principally TO be in the manner they turned

Often with him roved;
