TERRIBLE DEATH OF AN AMER IcAN LADY
AT MouNr BLANCA correspondent of the
Manchester Eng Guardian gives an ac-
count Of the ascent Of Mount Blanc by a
large party, among whom there were sew
erai Americans, one of whom, a young la
dy named Tralaway, slipped over an ice
precipice and fell hundreds of feet into a
fissule, where she must have been dashed
to pieces. Living or dead, however. no
assistance could be rendered her and there
her remains must lie until the last trump
shall sound.
Marshall County Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1855-1859, 1858-01-07
Thirty-seven and Fifty seven.

We are reminded by an able article in
the Evening Post of some OF the differences
between the great revulsions of 1897 & 81.
The direct effects of the panic of 81 are
scarcely less severe than those of '37; but
they cannot be so permanently disastrous,
because the condition of The country is
much sounder and It's resources much
greater. According to the article before us
our population is now seventy per cent
greater than it was then, while our specie
is 500 per cent greater. The coin in 1887
was less than four dollars to each inhabil
tant; in 1857 it is nearly eleven dollars. -
We then had in the country SO millions of
metallic dollars; we now have about 800
millions.
But we have now other advantages over
those of 1887. Our machinery, for pro.
ducing and distributing wealth. such as
steam engines, railways, canals and farm
ing implements, has, in the aggregate,
been multiplied more than ten-probabl5
more than twenty fold. The sudden con-
traction of the currency has occasioned
great loss to debtors, and much disarrange-
ment of the general industry of the country
but as yet, has not seriously reduced its
wealth.
Our short crops before 1897 greatly ag-
gravated the disaster of the suspension
We are now liz the possession of the most
abundant crops that the country ever pro-
duced. Our great want is the power to ex.
pand our currency; but this can be done
only by an increase of the metallic basis
Confidence in paper issues is SO shaken
that any expansion in that direction would
only aggravate our disasters. But even in
this respect, we have IN immense advan.
| tage over 1887.
during the period, from 1925 to lS4s
1--WE qaote from the Posts article) the
whole average annual production of gold
and silver was but little over fifty millions
It is now 8 or A hundred millions. The
commercial world has received ih 1857
nearly eight times the quantity of the pre-.
cious metals that formed the basis Of its
currency in 1897. This swollen stream. o.
the money material is fed by fountains that
will not soon be exhausted or lessened in
volume. Seven or eight times as much
hard money will be added yearly to the
present amount, as was added after the
break of 1887 up to 1853. 1t should
also be entered to the credit of 1857. that
the same quantity of money will perform
much.more duty than before telegraph
lines and railways had been brought into
operation.
"Whether VIC receive and retain for use
our full share of the gold and silver drawn
from the mines, will depend something OIL
the substitution OF bank bills for coin. Tha
these will constitute large part of the cir
culation for many years to come, we may
safely anticipate. Old institutions and old
habits are not easily changed; but an inn
proved mode of banking Will certainly arise
from the ruins Of the present.

Republican Excuses for their Recent
Defeats

The opposition find it very difficult to ac-
count for the uniform success of the demo
cratic party. For instance, when we point
to our election in Pennsylvania, they say:
"Oh, the Quakers did not vote"
But we have carried New Jersey-Qua-
kers and ALL
'Oh, that is owing to the railroad
But look at New York;
'Oh. that is owing to the canal!'
But we have carried Illinois,
'Oh, that is owing to the Germans
But we have carried Indiana
'Oh, that is owing to the Methodists!'
But Louisiana is with us also?'
oh, that is owing to the Catholics!'
New York city is Overwhelmingly with
us?'
'Oh, that is owing to the Irish!'
But Minnesota, where there are few
Irish, Germans, Catholics, no canals and
few railroads-how does it become demo-
cratic?'
ooh, that is owing to the Federal Gov
ernment and breech-clout Indians!'
And Connecticut?
oh, that is owing to the Yankeos!'
And Wisconsin,
'Oh, that is owing to the Grasshoppers!
And California;
'Oh, that is new StateP
And VirginiaF'
oh, that is an old State!'
Look at the South. which is composed
of an Anglo-Saxon population-a race un-
mixed, and where internal improvements
and eternal salvation do not enter into pol
itics?'
oh, that is owing to Slavery
But the North is organizing equally
with the South in support Of Mr.. Buch-
anan?'
'Oh, that is owing to immigration
But New Mexico is democratic, where
the people came over shortly after Colum
bus, and which was settled before Cape
Cod?'
'Oh. that is owing to-Heaven knows
what!
Finally, the opposition run out of apollo
gies, excuses and explanations, as the dem
ocratic victories pour in, each one rcquir-
ing different theory.
The only part of the Union that stands
out against the democracy and the admin
istration. is Utah. Brigham Young SO far
carries the Territory. This will form a nu-
cleus for the Republicans in 1860. In the
