The editor of the American mistakes
somewhat the grounds upon which, in our
opinion, the democrats of Brown deserved
their defeat. True, we have no feeling for
those who violate solemn pledges; but know
ing Mcssrs. Ellis, Darling, and Agry, to be
men of the highest honor, we cannot but
think there arc cxtcnu2tng circumstances in
their case, of which we have not a full know
ledge, and without fall knowledge, we are
not disposed to condemn 1t was the fool
Ish and unjustifable conduct of a portion of
The party in defeating the democratic nomi-

much to him to have it. Money is but pro-
perry in one shape, and there is no reason
why it should be restricted in that shape
more than another. If restrcted as money.
let it be restricted in every shape, and lett
price of all necessaries of life be made the
subject of legislative acton. fla man, in
stead of keeping his property in the shape of
coin, chooses to change its character, we say
let it not be less the subject of legislative
action. The Usury Laws, so far as good is
concerned, are nudity on the statute book.
They initiate against the very objects they
are intended to secure-they are piece OF
partial and uncalled for legislation, and we
hope TO see them repealed by the next Le-
gislature.

be to any extent amelorated. Man must
understand his true destiny. He must know
that the sole purpose of his existence in this
life is not to acquire superabundance of
the perishing' material of this earth. When
we reflect closely upon it, is it not passing
strange that men will subject themselves to
days and years of unremitting toll and TO
nights of sleepless anxiety to acquire that
which affords them no rational enjoyment
here, which ca assist them in DO wise in the
world to come, and which at the farthest in
few years they must be called upon to leave
forever Isit possible we have been endowed
by the Creator with an intellect capable of
the highest and noblest ends to serve no more
permanent purpose than this. Has thought
or reflection which the bounds of the earth
cannot stop in their research been given us
for no other purpose, than to assist us in
craping together the dust of the earth. For
our part we cannot believe it, 1t seems TO
US, that the intellectual and moral part eff
mans nature is chained. like a noble slave.
TO the car of his baserpassons That which
should and might guide us to high and noble
purposes, 10 a knowledge that would bring
us comparative happiness upon an earth for
which we are adapted, is degraded to admin
lister to ignoble and inferior ends. and it is
this pervers;on which has brought upon us
as world, the universal misery which we en-
durc-miscry which must and will continue
until the noble captive is relcascd-umil the
animal part of man becomes subscrvicnt to
the intellectual and moral instead of the con
trary which is now the case

We hope our Legislature will not spare
the Uusmy Laws the coming session. They
are part of that system of partial and UNI
called for legislation, which we wish to sec
swept from the statute book. If there were
one solitary good reason for their contnu-
ancc, we should have no objection to their
there but we look in vain for
one. If there were nothing else, then ell
tire and utter uselessncss in comprising the
ends for which they were intended, is suf-
ticlcnt reason for their being expungcd. but
this is not all. They operate directly
against the interests of those they intend
to protect-the borrower Of money. BY re
strlctng the rate of interest, they keep from
lending all who arc not disposed to get
around the law, and enable the few who are
to charge what they please. 1t keeps mo-
ney ont of the market, and consequently
from its scarcity, enables the few who have
1t to fix their own price. If law restricts the
price which may be paid for money, of
course, he who has it will make a better in
vestmcnt Of it if he can. In our own vii
lage for instance, whilst money is restricted
to an interest of l24 per cent, % per cent.
can readily be had on the rent of house.
There is as great u necessity frequently for
the one, as the other; and of course if a man
has capital in a shape for which he cannot
take but IL per cent. it is reasonable to sup
pose that instead of letting ii at that rate,
he would prefer to put it in shape that he
could command %. There is but little
more risk IN one case than another. But
there IS no reason under heaven why prop
erty IN the shape of money should be sub
Ject to legislative restrictions. Cannot the
legislature, with safety, leave it to the sagac-
lty of individuals to look to, and protect
their own interests. Under what circum-
stances will man give more for money than
1t is worth to him. The greater his neces-
sity for having it, the greater its value to him
and he gives -. 30, or even 100 per cent.
he does II simply because it is worth that

TO bear the ills that another class know no.
thing of This was the case Of the Mocha
MICS of this village. Every body stood in
need Of then services; nobody stood ready
to pay them. We would acknowledge in
theory that il any person more than another
is entitled 20 a sullicjoncy of the good things
Of, this world, that man is the Jrodurer. We
would acknowledge that that nun who works
has 4 r ght TO eat; but how has it been in our
community? Mechanics have been employed
and-ya;d? Gracious Heavens. how have
they been paid? They have been asked if
payment from some store in goods would suit
them; they would reply, yes, if they could
get those th,ngs which wou.J feed thcir
wives, their children. and themselves. On
being assured they could have any thing
which the store contained, they would take
an . order" and repair to the store to get
thcir-pdy? Mr. Editor, am willing to be
paid over the head and ears. am willing
to be paid in ''town Iots.n | am willing to
be paid in fish which yet swim in lake Mich
igan; but don't pay me in what mechanics
and laboring men have had to take for '.Storc
pay,' They would call for Flour,-"F
is cash, you can't have Flour" Can have
some butter? I'VE have got some in the store
but the butter is all Sold Can have some
pork? Pork is cash. Can have some
sugar? awe don't let sugar 90 on ''ordcr&,"
and thus, Mr.. Editor, it goes all along through
the whole line of Provisions and Groceries;
all that the mechanic wants for his family
use, is too good for his labor and skill to buy
And now, if his eye happens to light upon
piece of cotton goods, and he thinks of his
frocklcss child, he inquiries the price and
finds it 6 cts. per yard, more than he can buy
it for any where else for the cash, but he
must take it for ne has an order and must
takc-"storc pay"
This is only sample of a thousand cases,
but have given this as a sort of lens or
glass through which every mechanic or La
borer can look and sec at glance the null
tiplicd injuries and abuses to which he has
been obliged tamely to submit For the re-
medy of these evils, the protection of their
rights. and the insurance of that respect
which is dine them as a body. The Mocha
MICS of Southport have associated drafted and
signed a constitution and by laws. which will
subservc their own interests in particular,
and tend to give correct tone and charac-
ter to the transactions of the community as
a whole.
In the first place they have agreed to de-
mand and take nothing but cash For their la
Dor. This, as an experiment has worked
well; men are as willing 10 pay cash for work
as they were formerly to pay out of The store
They find it for their interest to do so. But
must pass on, for in this communication

| HE CANAL LoAN.--Wc are extremely
happy to state that letter has been recci-
we'd III this place from gentleman in New
ork we'll known to many of our citizens.
conveying highly favorable intelligence with
regard to the Canal Loan, and perhaps all
that could be desired. The letter is dated
the 23d ult., and is az follows:
DEAR SR:--
have only time TO say that have re
ccVcd undoubtcd information of the sue
cess OF the Illinois Commissioners. They
have induced the Barings, Ro,hchilds. and
Alaginac, Smith &. Co. to send out an agent
to make the preliminary arrangements for
the rc-CoRHcnCmcnt of the canal.
Although the letter CONVEYS the idea that
the loan has been taken absolutely. it is not
improbable that the agent referred to will vi
sit this state for the purpose of asccrtaining
whether the representations made in regard
to the sum required for the completion OF
the canal be correct. These representa-
tons will, of course, be found to be correct,
and the loan will at once be made. if il have
not already been. Under the circumstances
if the agent shall come over only for the
purpose named, VIC regard il as SO favorable
an indication of the desired result that it may
be considered as virtually settled that the
lo1n will be nude. ThaneNt mail from the
East will doubtless bring us further iutcl;-
gcncc upon this point. The New York p,-
p2rS OF the 26th ut. are sjlcat upon the sub
jcct. but it is evident that highly important
intelligence i'll relation to it had been re-
cclvcd by some of the capt;tll,ss of tint
