Marshall County Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1855-1859, 1857-12-10

In recent speech before a Democratic
meeting, Mr.. Gushing eloquently said:
Merchants Of Massachusetts. with your
superb GALLONS from the ship yards of east
Boston and Newburyport, moving over the
sea in the pride of their beauty and power,
freighted with the rich agricultural produc-
tions Of California and Louisiana. you have
been told here that yonr interests are in
conflict with those of the South! Manufac-
tnrers of Massachusetts, you, with your
palatial manufactures to weave into appar.
ell for the worlds wear, the agricultural pro-
ductions of Georgia and Alabama, have
been told here that you must surrender
yourselves to the evil spirit of jealousy of
the South. Citizens of Massachusetts! and
especially you of the classes who wear the
cotton, eat the corn and sugar, and drink
the coffee Of slave labor, and who provide
objects of art for the use of slave labor, and
of those who own it. Yol also have been
told that slave labor Is the irreconcilable
antagonist ef free labor. and that. therefore.
leaving all other things, you must betake
yourselves to hating the South, with a
sworn hatred like that Of Anibal foI Rome.
Men of Massaehusetts!y you are exh,rted to
cultivate amicable relations with Cuba

The New York Banks.

1t will be seen by our dispatches thai
specie continues to accumulate in the New
York banks. The statement for the week

OLD in specie. and over SO 900, 600 in de-
posts.
The present condition of the New York
banks is certainly unique in the history OF
finance. They have now considerably
over twenty millions of specie in their
vaults, and the precious metal is daily in
creasing They have more gold and sill
YER than they ever had before, yet they are
in state of suspension. While they had
not half their present quantity of specie,
they were flooding the country with paper
money, and boasted Of their impregnable
condition. They grew sarcastic over the
suspension of the Philadelphia banks, and
hooted at the idea of such thing happen.
ing to them. They talked thus and acted
thus while they had no money, compare
lively speaking. and now that they have
millions more than they ever had, they
keep quiet.
Now, it seems TO us that these banks
had better think Of the people little as
we'll as themselves Instead Of growing so
terribly impregnable, they had as well let
the people have some of their specie, and
thus, it possible. ease the hard times
They should at least do their share toward
creating better times. and we venture to
say that if the New York banks will resume
and do what they can. others in the eoun-
try will follow and much relief be granted
The banks have no right in their suspened
s.ate to accumulate all the gold in The
country and lock it up from circulation
They were not chartered for this purpose,
and if they are going thus to continue much
longer. to the injury of the best interests
of the country. their charters ought TO be
declared forfeited We have no sympathy
for suspended banks and are inclined to
consider them worse than no banks at all

Vain hopes, vain aims, nordnate desires,

LIVE FOR SOMETHING"

Live for something; let thy purpose
Be az broad as yonder sky.
s Place the standard-speak the watchword,
Point the golden arrows high.
Daring souls have gone before thee,
Making smoother still the way;
Face the dangcr-meett the tempest,
Craven hearts alone delay.
Live for some hing, though the Father,
Gave thee not the graspng mind,
Fill the measure of thy talent,
Spurning not the task designed.
They are worse than dead, who basely
Leave the field as yet unwon;
Bend thy ear and nerve thy spirit,
Though it be the signal gun.
Live for something, hold no treaty
With the demon of despair,
Keep thy forehead to the sunlight,
Thou shalt see ''the promise" there.
Thus the olden prophets struggled,
Through the flames that upward rolled,
Thus the great men of the present,
Have their glowing names enrolled.
Fear not; towards may be near thee,
With their tongnes to poison faith,
Lend no ear but face thy duty,
Even unto chains and DEATH
Better far to die relying,
On some truth the crowd had spurned,
Than to live forever signing
That no stone is left unturned.
Live for something. make thy mission,
Worthy of noble soul,
Stand not trembling lest the life BARK
Strike against the fatal shoal.
Spread the sails, and favoring breezes,
Yet shall watt thee safely on,
Till the "Islands Of the blessed"
Lift their green shores to the sun.
Live for something-from the ages
Comes deepprophetic tone.
Speaking through times mouldy cavern,
s.Make the hidden things thy own-''
GRASP and give with hands unsparing,
For the future hath its store;
And the world like hungry children,
Cries unceasing "Give me more"
Live orsomething, though Newton
Sent his thoughts around the spheres;
Learned their secrets, found their motions.
Stored them up for future years.
Though with simple kite Franklin
Drew the lightning to his side
There are richer pearls ungathered,
Greater power yet unapplied.
Live for something, win garland,
That shall stand the blasts of time
Mid the shrinking forms around thee,
Fearless tread the path sublime:
Then though but seeming cypher
In the long Eternal sum,
Thou shalt sit beside the Father,
In the Kingdom yet to come.

We present the history of our abused cred

Monday, Istarted my bank operations:
Tuesday, owned millions, by all calculations;
Wednesday, my brown stone palace began;
Thursday, drove out spanking bay span;
Friday, gave magnificent ball;
Saturday, smashed-with just nothing at all.

MILLIoNs of MASSIVE rain drops
Have fallen on all around;
They have danced on the house tops,
They've hidden in the grornd.
They were liquid like musicians,
With anything for keys;
Beating tunes upon the windows.
Keeping time upon the trees.

A GOOD SUGGEsTION.-The Boston Courier,
alluding to the many serious accidents that
annually occur from an unskilful use Of guns,
asks:
4" Cannot teaching be given to boys in the art
OF loading, carrying and handling guns, for
money, rs in fencing, or riding, or dancing {?
Might not some retired officer Of the army or
navy open a school to teach the use of firearms +?
and also charge himself with the duty of selec
good fowling pieces for his pupils? We think
there are many parents who would be greatly
relieved If there were such a place, or If such
teaching could be procured. OF course, the
char Icter of the teacher would be an important
element in the success Of such a scheme; US such
a school in unworthy hands might become a
CORFU pting influence. We throw out these sug-
ge ,tions for the consideration Of those who have
an interest In the subject" STr-

An lHPosrER SMOKED 0Ur.-The public
have been pretty we'll posted this season with
regard to one James Mcdonald, who has been
travelling from city to city, imposing upon the
liberality Of the public by prOclaiming on eyery

throughout the war Of 1872, and q confirmed
cripple and invalid from the wounds he received
In the battle on our northern frontier lie was
IN this city about two months ago: from here
he went TO New York where his story was taken
by the reporters, as the frame work for several
sensation articles. The next we heard of him
he had arrived in Boston, and there again his
story was given to the public by the press. and.
no doubt much sympathy was enlisted While
he was in New York We took occasion to saw
that he was an imposter and the other even
ing he was compelled t. own up.
His travels had brought him around in this
direction again, and two or three EVENING" since
he came down from Troy in the same coach
with officer Clinton. Of course he told the
same old story to the passengers, and then pro-
ceeded to pass round his diapidated tile. which
appeal was about being responded to readily
when the officer threatened to arrest him if he
did not cease his imposition, and under fear
that this threat would be executed he admitted
that he was but 81 years of age, and SUNK back
into one corner of the stage. Among other
things that lac told the passengers was that he
had lost a leg in battle, and that a cork leg had
been substituted. To satisfy them that this
was false, the officer with a whalebone cane
struck the leg indicated as of cork, several
smart taps, making him vince; until he wa:
