PROGRESS OF BANK TYRANNY.
The Law set at Dcfance,-Ihe People Humbied!
The Banks again Triumphant

The people are again humbled TO the dust -
Once more has the Bank of the L. States taught Us
that she is the supreme Dictator in the Common
wealth! That she can WELD the Spord Of Jusiice'
as well as the Purse Of Corruption! In the mat
ter Of Lockhar against The U. y. Bank, the Judges
of the Court of Common Pleas on Saturday morn
ing decided in faror Of the bank, as matter Of
course The case was an application under the
provisions Of the chcrier for the forfeiture Of the
charter Of the Bank, for refusing 10 redeem it's
notes, payable on demand in specie, at the expira-
ton of so days.
The Judges had previously decided that ,hi, in
sti,ut,on was rot amenabs to the Resumption Law
of APRIL 1910, in common with its ieow-swnd
lcrs, and row they have also decided against those
who, cheated and deceived by the Bank, have
sought for Justice under the provisions Of the law
BY which the Banklwas created Citizens Of Penn
syyania! will you thus tamely submit to tyranny!
Will you see not only your legislators, but your
Judges, bought up by the money power, and at its
back lending all their influence, TO rob You Of
your rights, and grind you like slaves to nothing
ness in the dust! Americans! how long will YOU
permit the creatures you have fostered into being
to ,rample upon you-to mock at the wholesome
restraints you have imposed upon them-to turn
round and crush you with the very manacles you
had prepared to confne them within legitimate
limits Now is the time TO speak out Now is the
time to teach the naughty minlons Of wealth, that
the will Of sovereign people must aud shall be
obeved! Awake! awake fling off the chains that
have been forged for you' little more slumber.
and your liberties will pass away from you, like
The golden phantoms Of n morning dream.-I6.

VOL. III. NO. Sc.

q don't know how it is said Simple, but
am in favor of home industry and intend to
petition the Legislature TO lay tax of 40 cents a
bushe on all the nelghbor Grub sells US, that
we may be induced TO raise it at home
why don't you give Mr. Grub 40 cents bushel
more than he asks for his corn, which would be
better
How, you blockhead, give man more than no
asks for a thngn
You might as well do it voluntarily as to get
the legislature to compel you do it; besides if it
was done voluntarily all the money would stay
among the farmers, whereas il it come in the shape
of tax it will be eaten up by the officers of the
government
How you talk, JOHN said the old man; but
am in favor of home industry, any how
So he pettoned the Legislature TO impose TAX
of 40 cents on every bushel of corn sold TO him by
his neghbor, making it cost him 81 20 instead of
so cents. But that was not sufficient. He still
found cheaper to buy Of his neishbor at that
high price than TO raise it,
Says John to his father one day, don't you see
we have TO sell lhaee cows now 10 get as much
corn as we used 10 get for two:
How ~ said Simple, ] see no such thing
when corn was ut 80 cents bushel two cows
at $24 each would buy 60 bushels. Now, when
corn is 81 20 bushel, it takes three cows at "a
dollars to pay for 60 bushels
THAT is because the tar is not high enough
said Simple, P hare ii raised 10 80 cents JuShel
and then ue can afford 10 raise ii ourselres.'
Sure enough, he got the Legislature to raise the
tax TO so cents and then he could not afford to buy
it of his neighbor at all. His best pasture lands
were ploughed up to raise corn upon; the number
of his cattle was greatly reduced, and what he had
to sell were no longer bought at the same price;
for neighbor Grub, not being able 10 exchange his
corn for cattle, or find purchasers for it at that high
price, was compelled to lay down his fields in grass
and raise his own meat. Farmer Simple and his
boys had plenty of home industry and 'well
protected too; but instead of getting richer every
year, as formerly, under the system of free trade
with his neighbors, he could scarcely keep his
house in repair or get comfortable clothing for his
wife and children.
Farmer Simple was a TARIFF MAN.

LANIENTABLE!

"hdigent JVidOc's and Single WOmea's Soct-
ety"-Hs funds lost in the Stock Of The United
States Bank-T1e effects of that Institution
entering the Political arena!
From card published in the Pennsylvania Of
the l4th instant, and issued by the managers Of
this charitable society, regret to learn, that IFS
funds owing to the " recent failure Of some Of the
society's investments have become diminished,
and g has left its income considerably less than its
ordinary charges" We regret, however, that the
managers did not publish the secret Of the failure
they allude TO, and give TO the world at once the
amount of investments in The Bank Of the United
Siaies,-the fact, the deporable fact! Men in high
places should not be screened upon any occasion,
aud tho names Of the directors, with that Of MIR
Bidde at their head, should be arrayed before the
public, and pacarded upon the walls of every charl
table institution they have injured or Destroyed
We understand that the "Orphan's .Asylum" is
similarly situated, as well as many other benevo-
lent societies. The guilty wrcches who would
rsl, the mite of The widow and orphan in specula-
ton, deserves no commisseraon from any COM
munity! Truly, the times are out Of joint when
we see efforts made to hide the crimes and folly Of
men from public view, because OF their former
standing in society.
To the names Of Lewis, Dyo,t, and others, let
there be added those of all who have, through their
acts in the United States Bank occasoned so much
distress, viz Bidde, Roberts, Dunlap, Jaudon,
Comprehensive, Riddle, Webster, Bevan, Ewing,
Montgomery, Tyson, Badger, Handy, Gales and
Sealcn, and Col KchapOo Price, Cope, Cabot,
Andrews, Tuirman, Humphreys, Nefr, and others.
As long as we have so little French blood among
US, there is no danger Of revolution! and we may,
at all events, be entitled to full exposure Of the
names and transactions that have produced SO
much evil in society, so much calamity TO gomen
and chiidrenu!-Phiiq. Times.

JOY I'M THE FRIENDSHIP or GOD.

Continued commerce with God, agreeable TO
the tenor Of that league and covenant struck with
him, how pleasant and delightful is III. To be
friend Of God, an associate Of the Most High,
domestic, no more a stranger, foreigner, but Of
his own HOUSEHOLD. To live wholly upon the plen
tfuf provisions. and under the happy order and
government ofhis family. To have an heart TO
seek all from him, and lay out all for him! How
great is the pleasure of trust, of living free from
care; that is, Of anything but how to please and
honour him in cheerful unsolicious dependence,
expecting from him daily bread, believing he
will not let our souls famish;o knowing that while
they hunger and thirst after righteousness they
shal be flled that they shall be sustained with
the bread and waters Of life; that when they hun-
ger he will feed them with hidden mama, and
with the fruits that grow the tree of life in the
midst Of the Paradise Of God; that when they
thirst he will give water, and add mill and honey
without money, without price,
And for the body, not TO doubt but he that
feeds ravens and clothes lies will feed and clothe
them. To be so taken up in seeking his kingdom
and righteousness, as freely to leaves it to him to
add the other things as he fit; to take no
thought for tomorrow to have an heart framed
herein according to Divine precept: not to be en-
numbered or kept in anxious suspense by the
thoughts and fears of what may fall out, by which
many suffer the affection thousandtimes over
which God would have them suffer but once;
firm repose the goodness of Providence, and its
sure and never erring wisdom; steady persuasion
that our Heavenly Father knows what have
need of, and what it is fttest for to want, to
suffer or enjoy; how delightful life do those make!

OUR DEPARTED FRIENDS.


Little know we how little way soul hath TO
60 to heaven, when it departs from the body.
Whether it must pass locally through moon, and
and firmament,or whether that soul find news
light in the ssme room, and be not carried into
any other, but that the glory OF heaven be dfused
over all, know not, dispute not, inquire not.
Without disturbing our inquiring, know, that
when Christ says, that God is not the God Of the
dead, he says that to assure me, that those whom
Il call dead alive. If the dead and we be not
upon one floor, nor under story, yet we are
under one roof. We think not friend lost, be.
cause he is gone into another land, and into anoth-
er world noman is gone: for that heaven which
God created, and this world, is all one world If
had fixed son in court or married my daughter
unto plentiful fortunes, satisfied for that
son and daughter shall not be so, when the king
of heaven hath taken thatl son to; himself,
and married himself 10 that daughter for ever?
This is the faith that sustains me, when lose by
the death of others suffer by living misery, that
the dead, and we are now all in one church. and
at the resurrection shall all be in one choir

The mirror'd Lake reflects our boat
About our oars the rippes FASH
And eddyng circles more remote,
AS if at our approach they fled,
