has advanced to height utterly unknown IN all past

Gent people of God during the middle ages thus show
ing this mysterious people actually giving to civza
ton, not only religion but government, and So
cal princple that entirely sets at nought the sent-
ments and Influences which were communicated to the
last century by the spirit Of Greece and Rome Both
these countries Greece and Rene were fierce democ-
races" and fierce democracies, always lead either
TO military despotism, as in the three cases OF koae,
England and France, in the times of Cesar, Cromwell
and Napoleon, or to rivalry, division, intestine wars,
as in the history of Athens and Sparta ending also
in the despotsm of of foreign land, FIRST OF Alexan-
der the Great, and atery in the domination of Rome
The science of Finance and the Banking System
form the only true element of civiZaon-and peo-
pie governed regulated and controlled under that IN
fuence is equally secured from the despotlsm of de-
moeracy or of arisocracy. Finance bears congo
NAL hue to the high intellectual character Of Christi
anty, both being the product Of the Hebrews, or com
muncaed to this lower world through that mysterl-
Gus people.
These are views which have long filled our mind
and these views by the result of the great popular
election which closed Thursday night in this city,
has received further and deeper confirmation
During the last six or ten years, Finance has gov
erned this country, and the holy banking system has
attained fair and honest sway. Our bankers are
our legislators and Leading nanclers the master
spirits of the age"
About the years 1890 or '95 the system began in
this country, by the establishment of bank at Bos-
ton another in New York, and another in Phllade-
phia These were the seed sown in good ground.-
| Since that time they have grown up to 900 banks,
spread all the country, but the power-the great
elements of conro-sll exist the original locale.
In 1926 to 81 finance and banking began to control
thought govern the country give energy to business,
building, making love- and marrying. The military
| hero generally denomnased "Old Hickory" but in
fact an odd ASS" was the first that had to bow his
neck-and stiff one il was-to the new master spl-
nit His successor, Mr.. Van Buren, is only an agent
| of the same mysterious power-so is Mr.. Webster,
Mr.. Clay Mr. Calhoun.
The whole legislation of this country-its religion,
its systcms-ts allare in the power OF the banks and
governed entirely by finance. For two years past
this power has been divided into three influences all
coneRding each under the direction OF It's master
spirit" for the control Of the state of religion, Of gov
| eminent, of law, and of seraphie woman. These
three great cyques Of finance are welded by Nlcho
las Biddle Albert Gallatin, and James Gordon Ben
nett each of whom is tie master spirit in his re-
specve section The banks Of Philadelphia are gsd-
| ed by Mr.. Biddlc-the banks of New York by Mr.
Gaan with the assistance of the Bangup Clique, for
the sake of stock eperationsbut the great neutral
section, the chief of which is the Chemical Bank
monster in Broadway, is entirely under the guidance
Of the financial genius of James Gordon Bennett said
to be by his friends one of the greatest men Of the age
and by his enemies, be the greatest chdrtdan and
rascal that yet dsgraced the face OF this EARTH
The policy of the neutral financial clique spirited on
by the arch rascal Bennett is to so ahead, entirely on
their own hook, to resume or not TO resume, just as
they please-to go for the public good and the hapP
ness of all pretty women-to dry up human suffering
and kiss rosy cheeks and il is highly probable that
Bennett and the Chemical monster will SO manage
matters as TO step into power, soon as Gallatin
Bidde and the Bangso clique shall have, like the Kill
kenny cats, eaten each other up, all bat the tails.
These are views of the present state of seeety
and the real elements of government. The election
which closed Thursday evening proves it, and the an
nexed catalogue of the banks Of this ctty, compre-
bends, de facto, the actual government Of the Uni-
ted States. Read aHd tremble, ye people.
