THE GRAND RIVER TIMES.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPT. 10, 1854.
rY- A few weeks since we suspended the
GRAND HAVEN. MICHIGAN.

w lew weeks since we suspended the
publication of the Times with an announce
ment of the reason for SO doing. Lately a
move has been made by citizens of the county
without solicitation on our part, to secure the
permanent re-estabshment Of the paper. A
document calling for contributions for that pur-
pose has been partially circulated and good
pile already subscribed. The success of the
effort has thus far been so great that although
the required sum of money has not yet been
raised, we have, without waiting for the final re-
suit, determined on making this commencement
feeling confident that the amount of means to
be placed at our disposal, together with the re-
turns for our labor will be sufficient to enable
US to render the Times permanent institution.
We regret that We are compelled with the
first issue to crave the indulgence of our read
ers on account of sickness among those en-
ployed in the office, which has prevented us
from setting up the usual amount of reading
matter. We do not offer much in the editorial
line, nor do we make great promises in that res
pect for the present, but we trust we shall soon
be able to secure the services of one who pos
sesses more ability than has heretofore been
displayed in that department of the paper.
We have determined to require, for the flu
ture, payment from our subscribers in advance,
without exception. Otherwise, we are satisfied,
the paper cannot be sustained. Several hun
dred dollars are now due us on old subscrip-
tons, much of which we expect never to re-
ceve, and the want of all which causes much
embarrassment in our undertaking. We, how
ever, commence sending to all old subscribers
that they may learn the condition that is to be
observed, and we shall continue to send until
a reasonable time has elapsed for them to make
payment, after which We shall shut down on all
who remain delinquent.
The character of this paper will remain un-
changed. 1t will 60 through the political cam
paign before us a firm democratic journal, striv-
ing for the perpetuity of democratic principles
and usages. There are many most gratifying
indications that the course we have heretofore
pursued accords well with the general sentiment
of our fellow citizens. We shall, therefore,
continue to pursue the even tenor of our way
with no lack Of assurance, and if we should
exhibit any thing of earnestness in advocating
our political tenets we shall not be much OBJ
noxious to the charge of being under official in
fluence, since we now look for and receive our
aid and comfort in the main direct from the
people.

FREE BANKNG.-Thompson Bank Note
Reporter thus speaks of the Free Banking
system:
We have labored long, as our readers well
know, to popularize Free Banking. Our in
fuence, our time and our money have been
thrown into the scale to insure success. Ex-
cepting New England and a portion of the
South, Free Banking has triumphed. Occu-
plying this position and foreseeing that the
system is in danger of being run into the
ground, we have commenced in good earnest
to save it from discredit. There are defects
in Free Banking laws of the several States.
In New York, the admission of bonds and
mortgages as security for circulating notes is
defect
In Indiana, the taking of her own 5 per
cent, Stock at par is defect. A thousand
dollars Indiana per cent, Bonds is not am
pie security for thousand dollars of currency.
In Illinois and Wisconsin the currency is
we'll secured, but the banks and bankers and
brokers can import foreign insecure and de-
preciated currency. This is a defect. Owners
of foreign banks and importers of foreign
banks and importers of foreign currency should
be compelled to redeem at par, in gold or notes
of their own States.
These defects are all easily remedied Let
New York drop the bonds and mortgages
let Indiana make her per cent. stocks equal
to 6 per cent. by issuing less per cent. on
the dolar--and let all the Western States pass
an act compelling the dabbers in foreign
currency to redeem every dollar they pay
out in gold or secured notes of their own States.
This would stop the wheels of the juggernauts
and save the people from an insidious and ulti-
matey q sweepinr loss

WASHINGTON HoUsE.-Persons visiting our
village will find this to be pleasant place for
tarrying, and one that will in all respects CON-
pare favorably with other first class houses
Within the present year large additions to the
main building have been erected, extensive re-
pairs have been made, and the whole establish
ment well supplied with new furniture of all
suitable kinds so we can now boast of one of
the largest, best furnished and best kept hotels
in this part of the State. AS might be expect
ed the patronage extended to our well known
landlord, HENRY PENNoYER, ESQ., has this year
been greater than ever before, and though dull.
ness just now reigns, we have no doubt but the
business of the fall months, together with the
increased facilities for travel now enjoyed, will
soon swell the crowd of guests far beyond the
usual number.

The following is an extract from the speech
of Gen. Cass upon the River and Harbor bill
There is no doubt, Mr.. President that this
subject presents great difficulties. Every man
conversant with the nature Of our legislation
upon it is aware of it, There are difficulties
insuperable from the nature Of the power itself.
1t is liable to abuse There is no positive
boundary at which you can say certainly that
you are to stop nor is there vast number of
powers conferred on you by the constitution.
There is very great extent Of power, the limi-
tation to which is your sound discretion and so
it is with respect to this power. Though you
cannot say precisely where the limit is you can
not easily ascertain when you have got far be-
yond the limit. There is an intermediate
space between the two boundaries, in regard to
which men may honestly differ, and there the
principle in dispute arises. | acknowledge,
have always acknowledged, that this power re.
quires great care on the part of Congress in
its exercise as it is from its nature so liable to
abuse.
Il will be observed that in the application of
the power, as said before, their is no positive
constitutional limitation. What, then, is it to
depend upon! 1t depends on the facts of each
case. Nobody will donbt that if there is bar
across the harbor at the city Of New York, it
may be properly removed. Nobody doubts
that you cannot 90 into the interior, in PRAIRIE
and dig harbor there. Then, sir, in the appi-
cation of your constitutional power, you must
depend upon the facts of each case, the situa-
ton of the country, the amount to be expended,
and q thousand circumstances which cannot be
You must look to them honestly
to determine whether they come within the
description of works which should be fostered
and encouraged by the National Legislature.

Our old rates were less than is usual with pa

ss3 We shall hereafter receive the latest
Chicago papers regularly by the propeller Troy.
The Troy is fast sailing craft, is making tri-
weekly trips, punctually, according to advertise
ment and we can consequently depend on get
ting all news, other than local, more than two
days earlier than if we were to wait for the ar
rival of Detroit papers through the mails as we
were formerly obliged to do. This will add
much to the value of our paper, in the columns
of which people of the county will be able to
find the news of the day, both foreign and do
nestle, sooner than in any other weekly they
can procure.
We acknowledge the kindness of our enter
prising friend, BENZ. HAxroN, Esq, who sug-
gested and has brought about this arrangement
We shall consider ourselves and those who
read our paper under obligation to him for the
good strike made in our behalf.

eS The recent dscontinuance Of the Times
called forth from the Michigan Argus the fol-
lowing remarks which are so much to the point
that we give them an insertion.
The Grand River Times, published at Grand
Haven, Ottawa County, a small but neatly print
ed sheet, has been discontinued for want of pat
ronage. We presume that if aquarter of the
money which the citizens Of that County pay
for eastern weeklies, mis-called literary papers,
was paid to the publishers of the Times they
could continue that paper and materially en-
large and improve it. The citizens of our
Western villages, and Counties, do not calcu-
late their own interests correctly or they would
not let the local press anguish for support
We hesitate not to say that the poorest paper
in Michigan confers an immense benefit upon
the locality in which it is printed, and if so, the
benefits conferred by sheet respectable both
in size and appearance, cannot be estimated
Strangers naturally judge of the business of
town by the appearance of its papers, and that
town which can boast of handsomely printed
newspaper will have name abroad worth more
than the entire cost of supporting such paper.
If this be so then every citizen should take and
pay for a home paper. If they agree with the
principles it advocates very well, if not they
should take it as the advocate of local inter-
ests.
