wiiclrenabtes certain Glasses to obtain aud per-
psuraie both weathaHd power. To this stste
Of things has the general tendency Of our past
lsgisla,onteet. gradually drawing our entire sys
tenn Of: policy.
The first geat monopoly, the source and
inourishment Of allthe restis, the monopoly Of
Issuing paper moaey. 1t requires no-ehost TO
rise from the dead 10 tell us that the exclusive
privilege of manufacturing out of nothing that
which commands every thing, must confer 4
power and Influence which. If not arrested in
time, will eventually carry all before it. and o.
.verpower every other interest in the State. All
other monopOlies flow from this source.
The paper monopoly supporlsthe monopoly
Of cotton, of salt, Of beef of -four, and every
other Necessary OF life. These who produce
are compelled to sell these commodities at Ger,
tain period, in order TO meet their obligation.
They are bought up by wholesale by some Of
the great bene6ciarieS Of banks, who can bor-
row Their hundreds Of thousands on notes reA
newahls until the purposes of the monopoly are
accomplished, and thus the speculaters on the
wants of their fellow citizens, are enabled to
hold back the necessaries Of life until the prices
are sufficiently enhanced to satisfy their avari-
cious appetite for gain. Mr.. Allen is right,
therefore, in training this concatsnation of mon-
opolies to the abuse of the papersystem which
alone furnishes the means of feeding and sus-
tanning them.
The principles inserted by M. Allen are not
more manly, independent, and just, than the
style and manner Of asserting them are forcble
and eloquent There is a condensed vigor, a
comprehensive brsvitY, jealous energy about
him, that gives the stamp of truth to all'he ut-
ters. There is no wavering, no sinuosities;and
nobody can doubt TINT he means what he says,
or thai his words will be sanctioned by his &C.
lions at all times and every where.
Nor can we pass over his honorable col.
league, Mr.. fappan, without bearing our tesli-
mony to his course during the short time he has
held his seat in the Senate.-He is the true 70.
presenletiVe of Democratic State. To great
simplicity Of habits and manners, he joins exten
sive knowledge and requirement, aided by a
clear intellect, and nvulnsrable'principles. No
one can see and hear him without at once re>
ceiving the conviction that the interests of fiee-
dom, and the rights Of the psopls, have never
been placed in safer hands than his. We con-
gratulate the great State of OHIO, the young gi-
ant Of the West, for she is represented BY gigan
tic spirits in the councils of: the nation.

I'm Weary.


I'm weary--weary Life has been to me,
As to all others, mix'd with good ana Ill
A wreath of roses on changing sea,
Sliding or tost, as meets the wild winds Will.
But good will, smooth sea, or foamlng swell,
Nh which has wearied most, It's hard to tell.
For evils have patience, and my soul
Is taught to bear the pain it cannot heal.
But can the spirits boastcd strength control
Its first deep sense of loathing when the seal
Which binds earths scroll of bliss is broken quite,
And all its mocking joys laid open to the sight
Friendship! thou hast a music name but
Have proved the fralty of thy binding chain
Too soon /; I've learned beneath thy azure sky,
The prize thou oferst me seek in vain.
Still I,bclicve earth holds thy essence pure:
But have wearid following the false lure.
And love, the souls pure incense breath, sent forth
To WOO an idol to its home of thought
I've priced it here at what in heaven It's worth,
And restless, anxious, though still vainly, sought
An altar where its constant, starlike blaze
Could meet with equal warmth my spirits ardent
gaze.
Yet live not without ITS genial power,
But turn with eager worship to the mind
Which fills all things about me. Each fair flower
Speaks to me words oflovc; the murm'r ring wind
Drcathes to my car as full, as rich swell
As Ger from lovers lutte on maiden spirit fell.
! love to see the morn as fearful blushing
She bids the sun upon his love course start:
love to feel his eye my cold check flushing,
Making my soul of his bright essence part:
love the moons glance OH the sleeping water
For then low voices sigh, ave love thee, earth $
wild daughter!" IoSE.

From the Pittsiicld (Mass.) Sun.
Hear John Leland, tI,c friend Of .gc.icrsOr
uul Madison.

We are indebted to ono of our subscribers in
this county for copy ofthc Pittsiicld sun, con-
tanning the following excellent article from the
pen of the Rev. john Leland. We have no
doubt but our subscribers will be pleased and in
structed by reading it:
In the dawn of our Revolution, those
who were in high Office and those who
were attached to Great. Britain strongly
opposed American resistance, and were
called Tories. Many had scruples of
conscience about resisting the poucrs that
pcrc, supposing that hereditary kings
were COTS anointed. Others wished
for change of times and things, in hopes
thereby to rise in wealth and power.
Another class chose rather TO bear little
oppression than to be disturbed from their
fields and shops. A large majority, how
ever, acted from the principle of self
government, under laws made by them
selves ; who, at home, plead that it was
better to die lreemen than to 1--we slaves
and in the tented field had "deafh or pic
tory inscribed on their caps, and sal for
liberty" was their watchword. These
were called Uhigs, who, without any
organized Government, by committees of
safety and the spirit of the times, Danish
ed the Tories and compelled the back
ward to assist and bear an equal burden
The war lasted seven years and closed
triumphantly for the states. After the
peace of 1888, the Tories were permit
ted to return-the admission was humane,
but the effects have been disastrous for,
instead of being grateful, they and their
offspring, together with those who admi-
red the British Government, have been
perpetual pests to our institutions until
this time. The whelps have been more
mischevous than the old lion. They
have not only improved every embarrass-
ment Of the Government to weaken and
disgrace it, but have unweariedly been
casting blocks in the way, and creating
and fomenting all the wiles that envy and
misrepresentation could conjure up.
The principles that divided the wings
into federalists and democrats were sum
marty these. The federal doctrine was
chat men had not virtue enough to rule
thcmselyes--that they were their owr
worst enemies--that the noble-born wer.
designed to save the people from them
sclves-and that men could only be rule,
by interest or fear. Of course, whel
the federalsts had the rule, they trie,
both expedients at once. A Bank wa.
incorporated for interest and an arm,
raised and sedition act passed for fear
that the love Of money and fear Of punish
ment might keep the black pa,cs in sub
lection, and make them work all day 70

The democrats did then and do still
view the subject in another light. Thci
sentiments are that power originates iron
