due 10 il, and vet that all that property
and debts wnrn't worth any Thing. and
that il never would do Ia have such
another rasraily 'arisiocroiic institution
U'Well,' says !, Mister, it seems Ia me,
lIhat what YOU call driSiocrdhc comes
higher Ia demOcroiic. Now says !, II
l,that bank had stuck TO the arislocrncy,
land lent money only Ia the rich folks, II
would now have no bad debts To collect
% well, snys he, poor folks never ought
Ito borrow money, they ought 10 get along
without it, well says ], that is n
notion never thought on alore, for wher
was in the last GOrcrnnicm along with
Ginera Jackson, all our democratic
friends used to poster the GIneral and
me all the while To make the u. States
| Bank TO shell out 10 poor folks, and We
took the deposits away from il because
the complaint was that Squire Bddle and
the Bank was loo uistocrdiic md didn't
| give poor folks a chance 10 borrow mo-
ney 10 carry on their trade with. Now,
says ], 'how do you make that square
with your present notions =
'Why, the fact is says he, 'it is prlt-
ty raft work to make the notions oi one
time fit the notions nf another time bn,
do say IL never viii do 10 have another
such n Bank, for i, Id prIuy nigh all
owned by foreign aristocrnis, and that
! will never do IN democratic country.
| it is downright awful; and MIR. Buchanan
and Mr. Benton, and II the good demo
Gratis in Congress say II will be the rum
of The county
Well, now says |, 'if that don't beat
Solomon How long do you think IT
would take forcigners to destroy this
country by putting their money in the
big Bank and let Squire B,ddle loan it
out to the poor democracy, who you say
will never pay it back again =
Il This set him tn scratching his head q
little, and not liking that tune he chang
ed it and said, But it aint right TO loan
foreigners money in that way, it aint
treating on 'cm we'll and it destroys their
confidence in u.s. 'Wcll, we'll , says /,
we best look into that matter little,
and see that things nint made worse than
they need be. We have prliy much all
on US been struggling under and through
heavy storm, and he who has saved
any thing may think himself prtiy well
off. A ship may be good for something,
/ tho she has lost few sails. have
seen The Two Pollies' in my day stript
pritly nigh clean, but Capt. Jumper with
a little assist nee from The other owners,
would rig her up, and she would go off
again as slick as ever. | have seen
corn fields and cotton fields all sent TO
smash in one squaIl Of wind and hail, but
folks would 60 to work again and the
mex, season they would have better luck
II ant wise nor righteous says for
folks to turn to croaking, and when times
ale bad, turn to and sell off and quit, that
is Just the time 10 hang on and ch Ger
up, and off cont and 90 at 1t, and put .
things to rights for good weather and fair
wind. There is one thing says that
is prity certain in money matters, s,-what
may he loaned or spent in the country ia
not wasted or lost it is somewhere
about and folks don't eai or drink it, it's
only going The rounds. A few years ago
the Treasury was so full 1t couIdn't hold
IL, and now its all out. Uncle Sam
haint got dollar III his pocket and he is
in debt too but who says he is broke =
He has got plenty of property, but l. he
was to throw up AMI sell of his property
in these times it wouldn't bring enuil to
pay one years expenses he is at. And
so il is with most kinds Of property
very few who have much aud owe any
thing but would come out at the leeie
'cnd of the horn by selling off and giving
up. The only way then is 10 fix things
so rs to let folks 90 to work at their df-
lercnt trades and caIiDss and set matters
moving and you'll see then how the cat
jumps y
'Well,' says he, q should like to know
what our new President THINKS o. these .
matters 'Wcll,' says !, he MinkS
good deal about 'em, but he don't mean
to talk about 'em till 4ih March next, on
account of his respect for MIR. Van Bu-
rem who is President ill that iime-bui
when the 4ih of March comes then you
and all the rest Of the people (now con-
siderable over twelve milllons) will ali
see it in black and white, SO there will
he no mistake his notions about the
Constitution are for the President to talk
to Congress and tell them all he knows,
end then he is sure all The people vii! git
it-but if YOU are in IL hurry and would
like 10 know my notions about it aiore-
h0nd-one thing you may he sure on,
and that IL, we shall 60 back to the pint
where the car run off the track and look
to the cause ont and put all them mat
ters right-eXamlne the track, the en-
glnc, aud the cnglnecrs-and at all the
cross tracks look well 10 the Swiich n,en
for next to running off the track is
getting on a long track and then ego
ahoad'-and with that scraped back
my right foot and said as say TO you,
"Nly sarvIce To YOU"
J. DOWNING, Major, SC. SC.
