PINEY WOODS PLAN R

msncement of the Panic wnrs, between
the Romans and Cnrthagenians, stlking
contrast can be drawn between nations
actuated by different motives, and the eff
fects of corrupt Legislation upon the citi-
Gems. In Rome public office was the re-
ward of honesty, sobriety and talent. But
in Carthage the highest public employ
ments were venal, and those who had the
most wealth succeeded in obtaining the
Offices, and depended upon speculation to
be reimbursed for their expenditures. =.
The extinction of this nation soon follow
ed. And even Rome, republican, virtuous
Rome, soon degenerated into vice, by the
debasing influence of wealth. When the
highest honor was conferred on Didius, it
was not the reward of his moral worth:
the demoralizing influence of gold had in
sidiously spread itself among the people,
and he, who by fraud and peculation, had
amassed the most wealth, stood in fearful
and successful competition with the virtu-
Gus and honest citizen, for Offices of honor
and trust. The fate of this nation is well
known, and it is held up as beacon light
to ours, to guard it against similar fate
1t would be moral treason to say that
the affairs Of our country had arrived al
this critical period Of a nations history
but that il does now possess the materials
of its own decomposition, is an assertion
warranted by the best evidences nations
history can afford Of its own catastrophe
If monied power supercedes that OF virtue
and patriotism, "the SPIDERS most attenu-
ated thread, is CABLE" to the tie which
binds this confederacy

manity. moves to the slower and steadier
speed of benevolence and Benevolent ope-
rations.
oCould those benevolent operations
called forth by the belief that all men are
brethren of one common family, susceptl'
bic of improv ement, and equally entitled
to happiness and intellectual cultivation
be identified with the money making en-
terprises of the day, and made to go along
with them-then the cause Of humanity
would beat time with the progress of other
improvements.
"But, from the nature of things, this
cannot be; therefore, the true lover OF MS
race is placed in the attitude of hostility
to the overwhelming pretensions OF wealth.
Thus we find the true democrat pleading
for the supremacy of mind over batter,
drawing his arguments from the throne OF
eternal justice. Democracy urges truth
in favor of her measures; federalism urges
expediency She asks for the cure OF evils
in the community, federalism talks of pa
liating them.
"Democracy asks for universal and equal
education, as the source of happiness and
true independence; federalism is for just
enough to chasten the rougher features OF
the soul, to render the people easier to
manage. Federalism is often strong in its
efforts to mitigate the sufferings of power
ty; but democracy goes further, it strives
to remove the causes Of poverty. FEEDER
aIism keeps one pocket from which to dis
pense charities, in order to make her supe-
riority felt by the recipients other bounty,
and another to receive Indirect tdreS from
the hard earnings of the people, so subtle
in its operations, that while they feel the
lash, the infictor is concealed from sight
She will preach long and loud in charity
meetings for the alienation of human wo
and the next day take her seat in the halls
of legislation, and, like the lawyers in the
Savior's time, lade men with burdens grie
vous to be borne, and touch not the bur
dens with one oftheir fingers"
Piney Woods planter. (Liberty, Mi. [i.e. Miss.]) 1838-1840, 1839-06-01

But now the people are enquiring what
they are to do to be saved'--the spell is
now broken that held them in its thrall-
they are now preparing to make an effort
to have the interest of the greatest mum.
Der prevented, and wo to them who shall
resist such efort-''destroy the banking
system and you destroy credit" say some
of our sharpers. 1t destroys spurious Gre
dit, we admit, but cannot iniure sound
credit-that founded on real capital, labor
and character--on the contrary, it will re-
store il to health end yigor. Labor, the
true source of all wealth, national and in
diyidual. has been much injured by mono
poly of all sorts, of which banking is the
worst

REUBEN DAvIs.-We learn that this
candidate for Wing honors is the brother
Of Gen. James Dapis, the Democratic can
ddate at the last election. Reuben, II is
said, is inferior to his brother in both ma
tural and acquired abilities, and that is not
saying much for him. The federal mouth
piece here spoke of raising subscription
10 have the latter educated. This was lib
eral But Reuben needs this lberality
most. Will the Advocate contribute its
mite to send him to school, or will it leave
il to the people of Missippi to teach him a
lesson in Nov. next.
Reuben can't "lrir."

The Grand Gulf Whig'says that Bin
gaman and Davis will receive the un-
divided vote ofthe Wings and Conser-
Uatipes. Well. we can still beat them.
But who ever heard of Conservative
in Mississippi? We have good ma
ny Democratic thieves it is true in this
State, and we intend making present
of them to the Wings; but base as these
shinplaster Democrats are, they have
never degraded themselves by ranking
among the Conservatives. Oh no;
they wish merely to be styled Bank
Democrats, which in common parlanCe
means thieves and swindlers; but in
the language of Wall street-fnan
ciers. The Wings are perfectly wei.
come to all such Democrats, and if they
do not soon clear out Of our ranks, We
intend to expose them by name, in or
der to prevent their vile example from
inJuring our cause--just as an lrishman
throws away rotting potato, to pre-
vent its effects on the bin. We own
that we have several of the basest sort
swindlers in our ranks; but il the
Lord spares us till next fall, we will
separate the goats from the sheep, and
send the thieving Democrats to the
devil with the Union Bank.--picks-

SHOCKING TRAIN OF EvENTs.-We CO.
Ply the following from the Evansville, la
Journal of the LIST inst. says the Louisville
Journal: the narrative, though almost in
credible, is, we have no doubt, strictly
true:
At the raising of log house, in Gibson
county, on Tuesday last, quarrel took
place among the men engaged, when one
man who was "chopping the corner" threw
his axe which struck another man below,
and split open his abdomen, and caused
his immediate death. The man who
threw the axe, fell back as he threw it,
and in the fall broke his neck; at tho
same time, tho log that they were rolling
up, was let loose in the excitement of the
moment, and came back upon the men
who were raising it, killing three person,
and wounding and brusing others
