From the Ohio Statesman.
A DEMOCRAT.

abankof the Ulied Statcs-The British
and American banking poDer the same.
We regret to see so much falsehood at
tempted to be palmed off upon the people by
the bankers and paper money vendors. The
|laborers of Europe, and of England especi-
ally. are ground to the very dust by these
privileged paper vendors, and they charge
their distressand ruin to the swindling banks,
the greatest curses for the working people
ever invented by human cupldity and vii
lany.
They have no Van Buren, Subtreasury or
Shannon bank reform in England or Scot
land; vet read the following, and see what
the bank whig-yes British whig'-politics
has done for the people there,-the whole
mass so corrupt that it is on the eve of fall
ing to pieces by IFS WI putridity. Yet the
wings here, the colleagues in speculation
and robbery Of labor of those in England
are silly enough to think that the American
working man is so ignorant that he can be
duped into the support of Il system that has
never failed 10 bring its reign of terror.
bankruptcy and violence. These bankers
say, give the people a sup of hard cider
show them a coon skin-sing mum about
principles. and we shall cheat them for once.
But we warn these men To not press their
insults too far. There may be 4 day of reck-
oninG not far oil.

DISTRESS OF THE COUNTRY

Chartists. wings and tories are in hostile. nay.
even in deadly array against each "ther.-
The enormou taxes are putting all men IN
to a frantic maddened state, except th"se
who receive them. 1t is the bank oi Eng
land, with its wholesale system OF swind-
ling, by which, in conjunction with the gov
eminent. the country is involved in appa-
rent ruin. Deducting the gold the bank has
borrowed from foreign countries, II does not

The British lion is now 4 toothleSs animal
Foreign countries now look and laugh at II;
and are prepared to kick and cuff it in the

We see nothing before US but prospects OF
the most gloomy kind, till the tax laws, that
curse of our country, be blown to the winds,
and a new government to be formed that
will do justice to industry, commenced and

going to pieces OF its own accord. Let work
