THE SWISS RAND.

THE SWISS BAND.
The leader Of this little body in the House
of Representatives, followed the leader of the
Loco focos, (The Chairman Of the Commit
tee Of Ways and Means) in speech on the
Sub-treasury bill, on Tuesday last The Of
fetal organ describes it as remarkable for
us energy and eloguencs" We doubt if
more sheer declamatory harangue was ever
listened to in the Hall Of Representatives.
His text was taken from the Globe, wherein
it said:
'sHs do not Ake 10 see me iseaAh amassed By the
industry offhs SoGfA scifadrarn by Government, and
converted into rpnses for bank capital 10 build up
monopolies ia The North !"
Thus encouraged by the official organ of
the Government, the efforts Of the orator
were directed to effect the philanthropic and
patriotic end Of ercitiag the Jealousy, and ar
raging The people Of the South against the
North. He spoke Of the people Of the for
mer section paying tribute to the latter
the South must become independent Of the
North. These were the themes Of his "re-
indrkaDic energy ana eloquence.
We doubt, if there was ever speech de-
livered in favor Of MULTIPLICATION, Ell
Their by him or his great prototype and oracle,
JOHN CATALINE, of a more designating aud
revolutionary character. What patriot could
have listened to it, and not have felt his ho-
nest heart burn with Indignation at the spirit
with which he seemed TO be animated and the
language he uttered Where is to be found
the honest lover and well-wsher of the per-
petuity of the Union, whose blood will not
boil with resentment, when he hears . con-
federacy" Of one portion Of the Union, to rem
der it independent of the rest, talked Of ?
THIS IS DIsUNIoN, under another name.
What right have these disorganizers to at
tempt to excite the people Of the South against
the North Are the people Of the North
hostile to those Of the South! No. They re-
joice in their prosperity. Do we want evil
hundred millions Of banking capital in the
South and Southwest, including part Of the
West, lent to them and owned by the capita
Bssts or PIfifadcIphia, rev York snd Boston.
And we might add, the millions Of stocks
created by those States for internal improve
ment purposes, for which the capitalists in the
same places advanced the money. What
greater evidence than this can be furnished
that it is for the interest as well as the wish Of
the people Of the North to encourage every
thing that will promote the prosperity Of the
South.
Nor is there any feeling Of jealousy exist
ing with the people Of the South generally,
towards those Of the North. 1t is those dis
organizing agiiators only. who are endeavor-
ing to kindle up such feeling. This !" .S,ciss
co,ps'' is now wanted to aid in fastening on
the country measure repudiated and con-
demned by the people.
Where sthe patriotic whatever party which
he may belong, who must not feel himself hu-
inflated, nay, degraded, by being associated
with or by acting with those, whose avowed OBJ
iect is dissolution Of the Union! Then cast
them off:-spurn them from you-all those
who love and would support the Union and
defend its integrity from the Vaccinations OF
its enemies Avoid them as you would the
Bohon Upas; their touch is not less destruc-
tive, their breath not less pestilentia, than the
atmosphere that is infected by its poisonous
odor.
