Such is the effect Of the 'periect model OF human

i AS before stated, our country is as whole in
thriving condition. prosperous and happy-the constant
croakngs of ambitious political demagogues, many Of
whom never soiIcd their hands with day hard Ia
Dor, to the contrary Notwithstanding. The following
article from Hhig paper of high character at New
York, contains some wholesome truths:

hope the last. Trade in our country speedily re-

The langnor of business which now exists, IS the re-

too feeble to stand alone, undertook to Shoulder The

tural and proper POSITION and force trade IL all depart
mcnts TO activity. The consequence was, that the whole
fabric broke down the second time, worse than
6 the first. The great expansions of the UnEed States
Bank and all the other Banks which acted with II,
must of necessity be compressed. Debts OF vast
amounts must be paid, before money can circulate
again, or credit exist. The sound and ccr:an pro-
cess of cure is going on, and health gradually
returning If we could have the stimulus OF another
National Bank suddenly applied, it would no doubt be
, an instantaneous relief. But it would be placing all
things at hazard again. Our children would proba-
blv bear the reaction, of dcliverance in revulsons
such as have attended the demise OF the late Bank
Our present tends to system more substantial
and safe than the which has broken down. and
broke every thing III IFS fall.
No lon ger ago Than last Saturday the Nasty lie Ban

the latest intelligence from New York:

We have devoted much space TO this subject-and
