root. II not only denies the sovereignty
of the people, about which the Demagogues
are SO fond of prating--but il saps the
foundation on which is erected the whole
fabric of social happiness and political
right. The idea that Bank is monopoly.
does not vary or in any degree affect the
question. Every exclusive right secured
by law to one man, and denied to another.
is a monopoly. Major Yancy's ten miles
upon James River, is as much monopoly,
as ten shares of stock in Bank. They
are both held by the same tenure. The
law which secures to him the sole and alb.
solute dominion of his domain, secures to
another his bank stock. There is no more
abstract right and justice in despoiling this
latter of his property, than the former.
They both stand upon the same founda-
ton. And we tell gentlemen, when they
disregard the vested rights of one set of
men, and invade the sanctity of private
property in one particular, they open the
flood gates, and all other rights will share
| the same ruin.
This doctrine, until recently, was never
heard of south of the Potomac 1t has
been confined to few loose characters in
the Northern States, who, despairing of
notoriety by honest means, have sought it
by means which would shake the social
and political fabric. 1t cannot obtain foot
ing in the South, without involving in
ruin the whole structure of Southern So
ciety. The Shareholders and landed pro-
prietors of the South cannot recognize it
, without at the same moment admitting that
they hold their property by sufferance, and
subject to the caprice of the tickle, the idle
and the worthless. 1t may suit very well
the loafers--who having nothing and never
| expecting to have any thing, cannot be
worsted, whatever may turn up.

REPEAL REPEAL !! REPEAL n!

Such is the incendiary cry issued by
the "Jetiersonian," the organ Of Governor
REYNOLDS at Jefferson city, in reference
to the Bank and the Land Bill, and the
cry is repeated by its echo in this place

papers, then, and the politicians in their
interest, may be regarded as the allies OF
Mr.. BENTON, who has become the aly OF
Mr.. CALHouN-and the question is to be

reliance upon the real democracy of the

the bad men whom they have too long
borne with and cherished. Apart from the
TACT that the Bank law will have the double
assent Of Congress and the States wherein
branches are to be located, and that the
distribution and Presumption law is the
very best one for the States and for the
poor that was ever passed by Con,

latter class of citizens on account of its

THE BANK COMPROMISE.

Next to being content" ourselves, it is a
source Of the sincerest pleasure with us
to see our friends in good humor. We
have not read the Louisville Journal since
the passage of the bank bill through the
Senate, but from the tone of several of
our contemporaries, who acted with it in
opposition TO the principles of the admin
istration in reference to the branching
question, we infer that they are decidedly
happy under what has been done--and this
makes Us SO. To be sure, the ''compro-
mise" which has at last been made apart
from the ambiguous Interpretation of which
the first provisois unfortunately susceptibility
was alDays in the bill of Mr.. Ewing-but
our contemporaries, perhaps, did not discover
it until incorporated in the amendment
Of Mr.. Clay, and have hence been deprived
of the steady reliances and anticipations
which have presided over the columns of
the times" during the whole of this most
unnecessary controversy. In our paper
just seven weeks ago we said
1--WE present to our readers this morning the
prCjet of the Secretary Of the Treasury, in the
shape Of a bill for the creation Of sound safe
and Constitutional bank, and lelicIae them that
SO proper spirit OF honorable compromise and
reciprocal Cancellation prevails amongst our
friends at Washington
Turning to 'the Irojet of the Secretary"
(Which was copied by Mr.. Rives) we find it
enacted in the 10th fundamental rule, that
"The said corporation shall establish compe,
tent office Of discount and deposte in any State,
by the assent Of the Legislature Of such Stale,
whenever the directors may think fit so 10 do ;
and when established, the office shall no, be
withdrawn without the assent OF Congress"
And in the 23d fundamental rule or Sec
ton, of the said projet of the Secretary Of
the Treasury, it is enacted that
at shall not be deemed any Infringement OF
the privileges conferred by this act, for Congress
to direct the placing Of Offices OF discount and
dePosite in any such places as may be necessary
and proper for the collection, sale keeping and
disbursement OF the public revenue"
Having thus, as is seen, felicitated our
readers from the commencement on the
honorable compromise" of which the fore
going was the basis, and having lived
through the foolish attempt to save us
from our propriety," or drive us from our
republican position, we commend the COM
promise which has been at last agreed upon
land which we subjoin) to such as are
sonder than ourselves of looking through

SATURDAY, AUGUST ID, l941.

The able and eloquent speech of Mr..
TALLMADeE will explain the high and en-
nobling considerations upon which large
majority of the Wings have acted in ref
erence to the Bankrupt bill. 1t has passed
the Senate of the United States, and is ex-
pected to pass the House of Representa-
tives--rumor asserts by maiority of
about 25 votes. According to our creed
of Whiggery, we cannot join in the de-
nunciaton of those members of the party
who were unable to see this great question
in the light Of the majority by whom it
was passed. Although neither of the other
great measures of the Wings more warmly
enlisted our judgment or sympathies-and
although we believe it will be productive
of even more solid and substantial benefit
than either of the others, still, we knew,
from the first, that,--as upon the Bank
question, so upon this,--there was diver
sity Of opinion respecting it, amongst our
political friends, which, though matter of
regret 10Th as, was no cause of excommu-
nication for them. In this, therefore, as
on other questions, while we have held fast
our own opinions, except so far as we
could yield them without dishonor, we have
not denounced others for the exercise of
the same great privilege.
On the question of including within the
operation of the bill the banking corpora
tons of the States, our doctrine has ever
been what Mr.. Van Buren's was in 1927,
(before he exchanged republicanism for
democracy that it was sin derrogation of
State sovereignty, was not necessary for
any legitimate national purpose, and hence
unconstitutional" We rejoice, therefore,
that it commanded but II out of the %
members of the opposition in the Senate

ton so glaringly federal. We would give
the yeas and nays to-day, but that we pro-
pose, in our next, to group them together,

O7The very best evidence upon earth
Of the studied and premeditated injustice
of the I.ocos, in reference to Mr.. WEBSTER
and the administration concerning the af.
fair of M'Leod, is found in the fact that
not one in thirty of them have dared to
publish the Cholc of his patriotic and tri-
umphant letter to Mr.. Fox, or more than a
single paragraph of his instructions to Mr..
Crittenden! In this way the same men suf-
ficiently garbled the letters and speeches of
the lamented HARRISON as to make him out

tionist-and in this way, the enemies of
Christianity can prove there is no God !"

bled by Mr.. Benton or himself, for the pur-
pose of "bamboozing" instead of enlght-

HE REASON WHY Col. BENTON HAS
NOT THE SLIGHTEST INFLUENCE IN THE
SENATE.-In speech Of "our distinguished
Senator" which the Argus Of the 3lst
copies "from the Globe" he makes out by
"facts and figures" This favorite, but most
libeIlous phrase that the wings are already
chargeabe with "about one hundred and for
ty millions Of dollars" "in this 5th month of
the new administration Following the
report in the Globe, it appears that the Col.
concluded his explosion as follows:
"Mr. B. took a rapid view of the objects Of
the session. and the mode of accomplishing
them, and showing that the finances were mere
Prete1t for getting Congress together to pass all

ing and growing for their prey. These hell.
hounds were the progeny of the Bank-deb;.

Such language, apart from the shameless
deception of his "facts and figures" would
cause man to be expelled from decent
grocery, and is only tolerated on the floor
of the Senate because its author represents
sovereign State-albcit he says that the
people who inhabit it do not understand the
meaning of "Jfscal." We suppose he con-
cludes that even his "facts and figures" will
pass current amongst such people.

sens, amid tempest and storm, and lowering
skies-that no glorious sun will shed envening

and perplexing cares to your mind-that no
friend will prove true, no trader honest and no
associate trustworthy. No, no; away with such
feelings; extirpate them from your bosom as
soon as they enter. For if you suffer such
thoughts to intrude, they will increase in mum.

POETRY

The Bible.

The Bible.
The Bible-'tis the fount divine
Of sacred lore, whence we derive
No Sc healing waters, which inspire
New life, and make the dead revive.
We search creation thro' and learn
OF God, the powe r, and love, and might,
Who formed world so beautiful,
And blessed us with the gift of sight
We see his might upon the deep
His wisdom in the rolling spheres
His beauty, in the slopinq lawn
Sprinkled with mornings brilliant tears,
a skill and handiwork divine
Appear in every tiny flower
Earthquakes and thunderbolts proclaim
Untold illimitable power.
Tho rolling seasons, as they pass,
Display fathers tender love-
The day, as it appears or fades,
His changeless care and kindness prove.
But what were these, without the page
OF inspiration, TO illumc,
The spirits onward fight, and show
The better world beyond the Tomb
When bowed with care and WEAKNESS,
And sick of earth's unceasng change,
The spirit longs for lasting bliss,
A wider, treer, happier range
How precious is the sacred word
Exhibiting, to the distressed,
A home, where, far from grief and care,
The weary can forever rest.
And when the aching heart beholds
Its vile, its deep ingratitude,
Its long, dark list of sins against
A God all holy, pure, and GOOD
How like the cheering dawn of day
To the ben;ghtcd traveller,
Who, in the 'howling wilderness,
Wanders alone, not knowing where,
Beams then the gospels glorious ray,
Displaying lite, and JOY, and home,
And points to Him who kindly saith,
TO me, ye heavy laden, come
When thrown amid the ceascless strife
OF care and thought, that every hour
Products--then how much we need.
A higher, directing power
Then gladly do we turn to thee,
Thou pledge of Gods unchanging love
We see our duty, and for strength
To act we learn to look above
Blest fount of holy teaching thou
Happy are they who learn of thee
Themselves to know and turn to him
Who only makes the spirit free.
Others may teach-hut all the streams
Upon their pillows onward bear
The purcst even-some stains of earth,
And can there be no danger there
But Thee we safely may approach,
If, with the spirit of child,
We come-and freely qnench our thirst,
From thy full wave, pure, undefled.
Fresh from the alternating hand
Art thou-a gift of priceless worth
How great, how limitless His love,
Who gave so rich boon to earth!
And must it be, that all in vain,
Such love, such pity, was bestowed'
Can there be one who scorns the gift
Or lightly treats the word of = cd ,
There may thy power, oh truth divine
Shed richly thy cnlightening ray
Into the soul S dark caverns shine
And pour the light of perfect day.
