THE LOCO FOCO PARTY.

The aye of virtuous politics is past.-Tht
most Of those who receive office at the hands o
the people obtain it by pandering to the base
passions Of mankind and subservency to Fed
era power. The old qualifications sis he
sltution," are put aside for the "material' thai
will be the plant tool olthe party Instead OF
merit, virtue and honesty constituting the
prerequisites of office, these qualities are made
TO yield to the more available capital possessed
blythe knave and demagoguc.
Never in our lives have we witnessed NOR
Iunprncipled demagoguery than that practised
by the loco loco party Of this State in relation
to their connection with the banks. These red
mouthed loco ioco's pretend 10 be in favor OF
reforming the banking institutions ofthe State
when they are using every exertlon TO proven!
the reform they pretend to desire. They
denounce the banks because they will not pay
their issues, and yet they encourage the debt
ors of the banks to withhold that which is
Justly their due. They are like the hypocrli-
cal thief who robs the husbandman of his food
and money, and then denounces him for not
providing for his own, and wants of others.
Bat few persons have been more loud ia
their denuncations Of banks than the Editor
Of the Mlssissippian, and yet if he would re-
deem the amount Of notes, he assisted in put
ting in circulation. of the Bank OF Madison
County, he would do more good for the country
than all the ranting editorials in his rabid
sheet. If Gov McNutt would discharge his
note Tor $4,000 due TO the Agricultural, he
would enable the bank to do justice 10 other
persons who may fortunately or unfortunately
hold its paper. The political dishonesty Of
loco foco party in this State, is blending itself
with the social relations. Honor, honesty, and
morality are being tainted with its pernicious
influence, and deeds arenow openly done, and
boastngly spoken Of, that years since, the
recital Of which, would have tinged with shame,
the cheek Of the most hardened reprobate.--
These same anti.Bank men have established
nearly all the banks in the State-all the banks
are sioindl ng shops-yet we have never seen a
gold and siicer politician that would not jump
into II dictatorship in one-and when they
could not get into an Incorporated bank, they
would build up one on Real Estate and get into
that, and then food the country with trash
We are almost tempted to cxclam with iona
than Oldbuck, "Ah!were Caliph for day, as
honest Abon Hassan wished to be, would

Still more, it nvades the right of trial BY ia.
~, not only as toihe hanks but us to private
citizens, by cnacting in the 4th section of the
act that citizen may be imprisoned and fined
by the mere fiat Of single Judge, upon the
benefit Of trial by iury--a right, above all,
dear to lreemen and dangerous to tyrants only.
This act therefore, as a system, is palpably
unconstitutional lis purposes, dangerous and
disorganzing in its tendencies, grossly unjust
in It's enoctments, and revolutionary in its
principles and CHARACTER.
The government Under which we live is
distinguished for being in the strictest sense, n
constitutional government. Ii is the political
merit OF this age and country that all mems
rights are defined, guarded and protected by a
solemn written declaration Of their sanctity and
inviolabilty. These rights are secured to the
weak and to the poor, against unjust combina-
tons OF the strong, whether in the halls of le-
gIsIalion or elsewhere, and are made efIectual
by the separation Of powers and the .preserva
ton Of trial byjury. Until this form of gov.
Iernment be changed by the people III conven.
ton, no power IN the State nor any majority OF
the people can invade the constitutional rights
OF the weakest, or the meanest, or the most OBJ
noxIous of its citizens. Constitutional govern
ment can allow no excuse, tolerate no invasion
OF Its limitations, without exposing the whole
system 10 utter and inevitable destruction
Deeply impressed with these sentiments, altar
med at the runouS doctrines of the bill, and
trembling for the fate of people amongst
whom such measures can find advocates, the
undersigne respectfully but solemny protes,
against the measure, and desire TO have it re.
corded, that they are innocent of this work oil
Iusurpation.

Arn6isl's Escape.

Mr. EBENEzER CHASE was private in
the New Hampshire militia, which reliev-
ed the Pennsylvania line at West Point
in 1890, when the troops, being veteran,
were wanted elsewhere. Mr.. Chase, with
several others, being off duty, was on the
shore of the Hudson when Arnold desert
ed. When General Washington assigned
the command of West to him, he left his
own barge in his possession. A tempo
rary hut was erected ON the east shore,
for the accommodation of the four oars
men who managed the barge. On the
morning of his desertion, General Arnold
rode down to the shore from his head
quarters at Robinson's farm, very fast, as
was his custom.-threw the reins TO his
attendant, and ordered the barge to be
manned. He then directed his course to
the Point; but on reaching the middle of
of the river, the boat was observed to take
a course down stream, and move swiftly
through the water.
The explanation was aiterward made by
the boalmcn. He hois,ed a flag of truce
and told them to pull for the Vuliue sloop
of war, which lay below, saying that he
had some business with her captain, and
promised, if they would row him down TO
her as soon as possible, to give them a
guinea and gallon of rum each, On near
ing the Vuliure, and being within range Of
her guns, Arnold opened his plan, saying,
81 have served the ungratelul scoundrcls
long enough" and declared if they would
90 with him, they should have double pay,
and be made sergeanls in the British SER
vice. One of the men replied that 'he
did not understand fighting on both sides.
'Then,' said the General, you are pris-
oners.'
When they came alongside the sloop OF
war, Arnold assembled the deck, and was
received by the marines with presented
arms. He then ordered his men TO come
on board as prisoners OF war. One Of
them, who had been their spokesman just
before, said 1T was a shabby trick, as
they had ,oiled TO their utmost strength
to get the boat along, now to refuse the
promised reward, and make them prison.

opened, ana are worked with great sue
cess. Already Pittsbung and Cincinnati
yearly manufacture seven or eight millions
of dollars worth of IRON articles for export
to other points. Lead is also found in
great abundance; salt is met with in mex
haustible quantities; lime is universally
distributed; and the finest freestone found
III the greatest profusiop. The first flint
glass made in America was at Pittsburg;
the porcelain earth within the limits of
that region rivals that of China; and the
burr stone Of Ohio may be compared with
the best from France. All The products

tobacco, cotton and sugar-gr0w luxurl-
antly.
In fact, here is land that is almost a
world within itself, and scarcely needs
any commerce whatever. Its interior is
more easy of access than any country in
Europe, and is filled, as we have seen,
with inexhaustible stores of wealth. 1t is
capable Of supporting, independently of
every nation upon earth, more than hum
dred millions of people. For many years
the ceaseiess time Of population has been
rolling over it, scattering upon It's prairies
and thickening along It's rivers. The spir-
it of prophecy hardly dares describe the
visions which it beholds in the future for
that wide and fertile portion of our mighty
Union. And this is but portion, a bare
moiety of the grea. whole; we have said
nothing Of our Southern, our Middle, our
"Kcy Stone," our Empire" and our
New England states, the old and power
full family, who, before their younger sis
tiers were in existence were able to repel
the invading armies Of the proudest nation
of Europe, and beheld the American eagle
spread his wings in triumph over the pros
trate lion of Britain.
There is no fancy in this picture it is
a simple settlement of iacts--authentic
and statistical facts. What American can
look calmly upon ii without feeling the
responsibility that devolves upon him as
a citizen Of such country-hmself a
member of its free government, having an
equal voice in directing its affairs! And
who can bear with patience the idea that
such a country should sacrifice its dis
tinctive character, and be dependent upon
the corrupt and crmbling nations of Eu-
rope for all its forms and rules of social
intercourse, its fashions and modes, its
business impulses and commercial pros
perity. This wretched folly and absurd
ity must--we are sure it must--nay il:
shall pass away; we will have a national
character of our own, and show the world
that we are truly independent. We have
conquered British armies, dashed from our
nccks the British yoke, and shall we now
become slaves to her bank, in commerce,
and to the shallow and painted butterflies
of her court, in social intercourse! BY
our "gray goose quill, we swear-never!

The Illinois free trader. (Ottawa, Ill.) 1840-1841, 1840-06-26

Many years since some gentlemen set
up an assembly for dancing, and desiring
to make distinction and to assume a
rank above the mechanics, they at first
proposed this among the rules for regula-
ting the assembly That no mechanic,
or mechanics wife or daughter, should
be admitted on any terms. These rules
being shown TO DR.. Franklin, for his
opinion, he remarked, one of them ex-
cluded God Almighty! How so,' said
the manager. Because, replied the Dr.,
'hc is VIGOROUSLY the greatest Mechanic
in the universe, having, as the scriptures
testify, made all things, and that by weight
and measure The intended-new-g gentle
men, became ashamed of their rule, and
struck it ont, and no distinction has ever
since been made.
