now but when the river is frozen over then IL WILL be,
and e must starve. He recommended the forming Oh
associations TO act in concert with American societies.
in order that We might live and not starve;
Mr. Mahke sad-We find Bible and other societies
formed all over the city but we DO not find societie;
TO frnsh the poor with bushel Of potatoes. The
spe aker said that the Democratic party had been
charged with the present state OF affairs he thought
that the Democratic patty was not to blame tor what
fas occurred, as they generally did what was right.
1t had been said that the slave labor of the South was
better than the white labor of the North and Il was
true be thought in part the white labor OF Market
street does not get any more than the slave labor Of
the South He said that there was no liberty to the
poor man under the present banking laws: lie called
the banks plundering shops. The banks nad sus'
pended. ar then the Legislature was called together
10 legaze such a state of affairs. 1t the Legislature
had forced the banks TO resume the panic wosd have
been over in three months. The speaker urged the
PEOPLE assembled TO act carefully in Whatever means

duied 1t must not be done in nasty manner but IL

the loan associations, and doubted their sovency. h
did not think any man who deposited in them ever re
ceived his money back. The speaker said we did no

together. lie did not urge pillage or force, but VI
| must do everything in q lawful manner.

to do with politics. g..
Mr.. Faederer was opposed to dragging politics int
