Within that dark and narrow dell,

Forth rush the democratic los.s. 1t seems as II
every bank must disappear before this clamprous en-
CONNER Surely. Wherever these sincere friends Of
democracy and reform must prevail, every ono Of
these oCspuiie institutions viii he cvcllcd with the
ground But not "a, all. The leaders have only
ayae themselves OF the uproar take posse sslon
OF yolr government. and OF tho nominal object OF al
nck,-,he banks, not is found IN RUNS excepting
those, whose exclusive business il has bccn "a fur
nis1 supplies for the invading army.
Look at ia lis details iou arc a farmer. You
started life with no Inheritance but kind Prou-
donce. and the lessons Of faithful mother. You
have iuiled on from yonth TO manhood. by indus
try and economy, and thrih, you have become the
owner OF the fam you cultivate Your children arc
growing up around YOU. Your labors have been
successful You have gathered little capital be-
yond The wants ofyour occupation and in order that
there may be something for them more than YOU had,
at life hard entrance. YOU seek safe investment and
a lawful income IN neighboring bank. You know,
81 the same time, that YOU citizen OF a republic
you would homes, men only office, YOU dare TO
call your tongue your own you resist the unprinci-
pied, IN whatever disguise they may attempt TO de-
Jude YOU And siralphtway YOU are denUuncet as
q bankbOughi aristocrat. Aud by whom BY a
nun who either never had trade or an occupation,
down. through idleness vices, and who, by shout
ing for party. or party loll er Is living upon
a sIary from that treasury which your toll and ear
niags have contributed to fill And this is modern
democrat.
You are a mechanic or trader. Providence has
smiled upon your labors, too, and the safest in
herance which you can leave to your sons you de-
temne, in your honest old fashioned repub canism,
10 give them the best education which the best col
leges supply. As iley go out from the palernal
roof. and striving to make the most of the advan-
tages which you kindly furnish to them, through you
never enjoyed them YOURSELF your ears, and theirs,
are assaied by the hoarse cry OF arstocracy, utter
ed, perhaps, by one, who, having himself passed
through the arisiocratic hot-bed, is most ear
nesty promoting the cause, and securing 10 himself
the honors ofmodern democracy, by baselv denounc-
ing the kind mother, that taught him all that he
knew. | would fan know, how such a denuncia-
ton would sound in the of those early repu Ii
cars. "our wise and pious ancestors who, in the
W OF the Constitution of Massachusetts,, $50 early
as year $50, laid the foundation of Harvard
College," because, amongst other things, "the en-
couraGemcnt of arts and sciences, and all good lit
erature, tends the honor of God the advantage of
the christian religion, andth great benefit fthiS and
the other United States of America"
But cannot dwell longer upon the dstrustlng
story of fraud and imposition. And vet these are
the means and the only means, by which our disas-
tiers have been caused. Read the documents, follow
the lecturers, listen to the conversation OF modern
demo freqpsnt and voumnious Trey are,
have yet gone ovththe entire raw material. Per-
petua changes arch hut rung upon the same crafty
devised words, and {rases,-preiudices are excited,
passions aroused. arA the real interests, and true
honor of the State becomes the prey of interested
partizans. This is thernodcrn democracy that gains
office and power, nomfflly and hvpocriically' the
poor against the ri h,-fle people against banks, re-
publicanism against arisrocracv,-but in truth and
in fact, the idle, the reckless the nnprncipled head
e1 by ambitious aspirants and political dem1gogues,
against the sober industrious, orderly, and truly re-
publican middling interest.
