THE ELECTION AND ITS RESULT
ON BUSINESS.
From he Washin gtOn Globe

The Philadelphia Ledger is, as lis conductors
declare, not a neutral but IN iRdepcndGM Journal,
1t discusses most public questions with great spirit
On the subjects banking and currency it suslanS
those views which IRE held by all sound political
economists, whether they belong to the democratic
party, to the wing, or to neither.
In saying that even if General Harrison shall be
not be abolished and national bank established,
the editor is perhaps, to confident. Left to fair
field of argument, and to the operation of the caus-
es enumerated by him, the result would no doubt,
be such as he predicts; but he has not made due
allowance for the efforts of bribery and corruption
in deciding the question. We say bribery and
corruption for such are bank loans to members OF
congress when made with the intention of inlluen-
cling their votes II is of the worst forms !bll-
berry and corruption because it is one in which the
conscience is lulled TO sleep. We have known so
many men who have been elected as opponents
of Il national bank afterwards become It's partlznns
that we cannot think the causes mentioned by the
editor of the Public Ledger will be as effective as
he supposes in preventing the establishment OF Il
new one.
But whether one he established or not, one thing
is certain that all the bubble blowers in the coun-
try will not be able to produce unytoing more than
II Temporary initiation of prices. But this some of
them say, is al! they waai, They want to get
their own bad bargains in stocks and lands o'their
hands, and then they care not how soon or how
low prices fall.

HARRISON TIMES.

MONEY TIGIIT.-Busincss men have COM
planned of an unusual ,ighncss in the money mar
ket for the last two days. The old demand of
''two per cent month, which we had hoped had
become obsolete has been made by brokers of the
less scrnpuous cast, and in cases ii has been
snapped up at that If this is the commencement
of better times, we should like TO know what is to
follow. The only cause we have heard assigned
for this state of things, is the demand of the t. $.
Bank upon the Banks of Boston for money to en-
able them to resume. Our community have had
no lavors from, ard owe no iavors to, the present
u. s. Bank; and if they TO be crippled in their
business operations in order TO enable that old ar-
lot to make up for her bad speculations and mis-
management, they ought to know it. There will be
trouble yet unless certain persons who fancy them
selves remarkably shrewd iinanciers, "look both

TRADE WITH CHINA,

writer IN the Boston Courier says, if the trade
between China and lnda in British Ships is stop
ped, and our intercourse with Canton is not inter-
ruPed by the British fleet, very large amount
of American tonnage would find employment in
transporting cotton from Bombay and Calcutta to
China. The average export from India 10 that
country is about 200, 900 bales and it is so much
for the interest of British India TO have that mar
ke, and for the Chinese to obtain the material,
that it is to be hoped that in case of protractcd
warfare between the Chinese and the British that
some of the ports Of the former will be left open
FOR the admission of staple so necessary to their
wants,
According to the present laws of the Anglo In
dian government, American ships have right to
carry on the the trade TO which we have referred and
it is matter of regret, matters have turned out
that our ship-owners have not awaited themselves
of the opening the past eighteen months.
If, however, no direct intercourse shall be per-
mitted with China by the bockading squadron,
by the Chinese authorities, there is no question
that there will be some mode of Introducing goods
wanted by the Chinese from many of the neigh
boring ports and islands, as, indeed, always has
been done with reference TO some staples of COM
merce, and which is now done in the case of OPT
um, though its consumption, as well as introduce
ton, is prohibited under the severest penalties.
American ships, having in view important car
goes from Java, Sumatra Manilla, or any port in
India, or any part of Asia. and whose outward to-
mage is now of little or no value, in going direct
to these places, because there are few goods that
can be shipped from this country, would add greatly
to the profits Of their voyages. by taking Bombay
in their way, and loading a cargo on liieght, be-
cause half the rate paid in British bottom, even
when trade is unobsruc,cd would pay consider
able portion, if not the whole expense, of Il
twelve or fifteen months voyage, and if our great
carriers, with their intelligent masters and excellent
crews which can be insured, even in India, lower
than the best British ships, and which make much
greater dcspach, once sc, footing in this hereto
lore prohibited trade we shall never abandon it

ton, shall again be prohibited Gom prosecuting

FARMERS EvENINGs.-Thc members Of no
other occupation or profession enjoy such evenings
as do the farmers. The mechanic and the profess
sona man usually are compelled to Gil up the c.
vcnngsas they do the day by, pursuing their ordi-
nary business; but the farmer ends his days work
with the setting of the sun, aud the evening is with
him period of relaxation and rcpose. 1t is usu-
ally devoted to some light work, or to reading, or
to social intercourse. A winters evening in
well regulated family, is season ofreal enjoyment
The days work is donc--the cheerful fire "rair
blazing gives an aspcct Of comfort to the whole
apartment-the family are seated in n scmi-circlc
around the hcarlh--one Of the sons has new book
from the school district library, from which he
reading loud to the attentive lisicncrs-iho mother
and daughters are busy at their knitting or their
ncedles-the basket well filled with spilzenburgs,
greetings, or scek-no-iurthcrs, occupies the table,
II tlrce year old youngster is astride his fathers
knee playing with his coat bu,tons-in one corner
his next older brother has made Il pillow of the
old house dog-whie in the opposite corner a little
sister is stroking down the fur of grimaikin, and
every thing wears the aspect of hoppness.-Ilow
much more pleasant than 10 be compelled to,spcnd
The whole evening in the shop, store, or office, and
pod your way homcward in the dark a, a late hour
and after your family has retired to rest! Beyond
question, the farmer, in comfortable pccuniory
circumstances is in II position as favorable AS any
which the world affords for the enjoyment of hap
pincss.-Romc Seatincl

The time for thinking will come, when great
moral reaction will take place IIypocrites and
mountebanks in politics and morals will be I'M
masked, and honesty and fair dealing will be ,aP-
preciated. Men will ere long be judged by their
real principles and their acts aud not by their pro-
fessions. Others will ponder deeply on this sub
ject at which we have barely glanced; we have no
doubt that the history of the last nine months will
be thoroughly reviewed and understood ere long,
when will ensue more powerful reaction than
was ever before Witnessed in this country.

For the Spirit Of The Age.
SWITCHES.

Miss Emily Agatha Augusta Jane,
spruce little girl, about twenty,
Fell in love with Sir Anthony Alfred De Lnnc
Who all Ill" ,--,iI ~r;.I, he'd c,,a,, Iic",y,
But not dearest matlan yen II please understand,
Twas not for that rcnson ms know
The Indies, You know, in all the whole world,
Never think, in such matters, of rhno!
Sir Anthony whiskcrs were large, and so black
And his hair lny in sach pretty rinslcts,
And they nestled around his classical brow,
Aud tangled poor love, purple winects.
Sir Anthony eyes were as ron and as bluej
Ills voice, like the winds, when they mnglc
Their muruurs at eve, in the bosom Of June
lie wore On his finger single
Gold ring, with a stone OF remarkable cost
His whist WIS MS small ms ladies';
And his cheek was rs soit aud as clear and AZ warm
AZ the cheek Of a young girl Of Cndiz.
His feet were ms small as boys Of sixteen,
And he trod the old earth with such hGHicu,
No wonder, Miss Agallas suitoIs all fled,
In despair, when sir Anthony sought her.
Sir Anthony rode and Sir Anthony sung,
Sir Anthony played very finely,
Sir Anthony danced like u roe in the spring,
And lolled on sofa divircly.
Miss Agatha asked her PA and her MAJ
Ere the flowers of of May should be wtcd,
The wedding should be.
The frock and the cake
Were done, and the comforter quilted.
Sir Anthony sat one cvCnn, ut ten,
With noH ne tqhscrc phiz on,
When fellow looacd in, in search Of man,
Who had broke from the Windsor States Prison.
Sir Anthony ate, and sir Anthony irownod,
but the fellow grew saucy and boldcr,
Walked up to his side, with 'how IRE YOU my bird''
And laid his broad hand on his shoulder.
Sir Anthony looked ut the mGn with stare,
And called On the landlord to take him
Away. Then ordered his servant, black sam,
To collar the scouHdrr and shake Him.
But the fellow just gave Sir AnihOny's culs,
\ twch with his thumb and lorc.fnerr. Ishon,
b. the Gods cropped ear! and bald pate, Tint
Like ice where winter moons lingcr.
Sc they marched Sir Anthony of to his home,
VIA face that could not be paiulcd
Poor Agatlins Pa, mud Agatha's Ma,
One Sworc and the other she tainted.
The ncighbors all grnncd and the talk Of the town,
Was the source Of extremely great pain, oh
To-ladics, the moral pray yon will heed
Miss Emily Agatha Jane, Oh
SwlTCn.
