God have lived long enough not to
care for names. This struggle going on
is the same as that fought under Jack
son-the combination of capitll against
labor the banks against Old Hickory.
A part of the shareholders in the United
States Bank wanted the United States
depos;tes, often fifteen millions, 10 loan !;
for this they proposed to regulate the
exchanges, and make uniform curren.

italists, who wish to seize the territories
themselves and negroes, and throw out
the poor white men. The plea is plausi-
ble-simlar to the bank plea. But the
territories should be kept for the gencr-
al good, and not for few Shareholders.

white men, for the good Of our state to
build up rich states west of US. to be

| will revert to another p,rallel-the
contest between the Gracchi and tue pa
tricians. Though the narrative comes
from the writer's of the oligarch, and
they are called agrarians-thus giving
them bad name, as | am called an abo-
itionist: "Givc a dog bad name
&c..-the Gracchi only claims that the
lands conquered by the Roman armies
should be equ,lly divided, and not given
to the patricians alone, and this is the
question now; shall the territories te
divided by Homestead bill and prc-emp-
ton among the people Or held only by
slaves and slave owners: The oligarchs
call themselves democratic and strive to
overthrow the old democratic measures
of old; which have been universally
held, even to the time of Calhoun, and
till he himself changed. Calhoun be-
coming insane on the disunion measure,
and failing of his aims, sought to curry
favor with the oligarch. This oigarch
is strongly opposed to tile interests Of
the West but there is no doubt of Mis-
souri throwing off the incubus of slavery.
