main eventually, nearly in contact and parallel

iron with an awkward cold chisel; thereby de-
forming The edge of each branch; on which ac-
count, the branches must be bent asunder for
the purpose Of hammering, squaring and sha-
ping the edge of each ; after which they are
brought together as well as may be, usually re-
tanning roughness in form, If not deficiency

iron when heated may be put into vice, and

of Salem The latter, we should al
once set down as suspicious affair."
When bankers intend to steal, it is very
common for them to assume an honest
name, as the better calculated to hide
their designs. We can produce list of
hundreds, if not thousands, Of broken
Farmers banks, Farmers and Me-
chanics' banks, &c. &c. This method
Of stealing honest names. in their finan-
ciai transactions, has grown out OF a
habit, on the part Of the same men, OF
appropriating to themselves the name Of
democrat. True, they have never been
able to deceive any one, by their fraud
in attempting to steal the name Of the de-
mocracy, but their operations in bank
swindling have been more successful.

tenacious oftheir principles, than Of their
