And have not they the opinion of the godlike ebster that the government has nothing to do only to take care of the rich who are always ready to flood the poor With their tender mercies Had not the people the poor especially better stay away from the polls on the days of election and let the bankites manage the whole concern If they wish to lose their liberty if they wish to be deprived forever of the privilege of voting if tiy wish to be ruled by a money king let them stay away and not vote If they want the United States Bank for a mas ter let them stay at home SHORT HORSE IS SCON The Advertiser gives tne following summary of the qualifications of the whig candidate for Con gress J3 We have only to say that Air Wei if elected will do credit to Michigan both as a de bater and If Mr Wells had any qualifications for pub lic life he had a fine opportunity to display them in the convention which formed the constitution ot this State The people of Kalamazoo who were then few and fir between sent him to the convention and the only evidence we have of their estimation of his services in that body is that they have never since offered him any of fice in the county however humble The only situation that has been since tendered him we believe is the cashiership of a wild bank which never went into operation We really wish that the citizens of Kalama zoo coqty without distinction of party would invite Messrs Crary'and Wells to a public meet ing to discuss together the measures of the ad ministration do not suppose however that such a meeting of the two candidates can be brought about as the whigs and their candidate would unquestionably both decline the encoun ter If such a discussion could be brought about we venture to say that Kalamazoo county would give a decided majority for Isaac Crary at the November election DETROIT DAILY REE PRESS 'rURPAY MORNING SEPTEMBER 22 Lbs merchandise 131 631 1 39 21135 0 354 to Detroit and 3455 82109 215215 25301 33832 147 CENTRAL RAILROAD Collector's office I Detroit September 18 1838 Sr There has been transported oh the Cen trad Railroad from July 18th to September T8th 1838: rom Detroit to Ypsilanti and way Passengers 468:1 Tolls 85977 86 Barrels flour eet lumber Shingles Ypsilanti Passengers Lbs merchandise Pou mis wheat Barrels flour eet lumber Cords wood 2873 52 7 18 58 68 74 02 way 4889 38 152 52 238 59 696 73 45 5472 99 for representatives BENJAMIN WITHERELL BEAUAIT HARRY' SAUNDERS EBENEZER EATON TiMOTHY SHELDON RUUS BEACH TITUS DORT 1 OR SHERI LEMUEL GOODELL A COUNTY CLERK CHARLES PELTIER COUNTY TREASURER GARRY SPENCER COUNTY REGISTER GEORGE GRISWOLD COUNTY SURVEYOR ELI BRADSHAW COUNTY COMMI amvroa REYNOLDS G1LLET JONATHAN SHEARER BENJAMIN OX CORONERS DANORTH PETTY ARCHIBALD MURRAY frosty blasts of a gloomy November let in upon the weedy children of their affection The crisis Every man of intelligence be he American or foreign must look with an anxious eye upon the political movements now in pro gress in the United States He beholds a vast arena numerous combatants and no less a prize at stake than the weal or wo of the republic perhaps the existence of the republic itself Mil ions are engaged on either side in angry dis cussion of their respective claims One sido Give us constitutional freedom and the other endeavors to drown the voice by shout ing Give us paper money One side demands that the people be no more abused rind degraded by a union of bank and state and the other re plies Let a national bank stand with one foot upon the neck of the government and the oth er on the neck of the democracy while his fin gers are loudly playing with the purse strings of each rom the centre to the circumference of the arena a voice like that of the contending elements too loud to be mistaken too powerful to be resistedbursts from the champions ol de mocracy ever and anon vociferating Let the People still the voice of the People is the voice of God A hissing clamor arises in the midst uttering Glory and honor dominion and power be uritj theJBank forever All this bus tle and turmoil noise and anger is to result in the choice of champions to determine the con test in a little side arena prepared for such mat ters in a place called Washington There the chosen champions will appear in numbers pro portioned to the force of the respective parties when and where the great decision shall be made whether the bank extinct we "live all or the bank triumphant we fall all while bankile treasons flourish over If the moneyed aristocracy in favor of a national bank and the Hamiltonian monarch ists succeed then in the familiar rhyme of Mc ingal Behold the world will stare at new sets Of homv ide earls in Massachusetts See in ministerial work His grace of Albany ami or What lordships from each estate On our NOw York assembly wait! In wide pomp of godly guise See Wolvereens to bishojw rise And lights and barons sh dl ye meet As thick as pavements in the s'reet And whigs by magic words likest devils into lodf The federal presses are endeavoring cover their defeat in Maine by attributing it the efforts of the office holders The truth is that the office holders the mass of them at least belong to the federal party The state government was entirely in the hands ef the federalists who during the brief period of their ascendancy had removed nearly one thousand democrats from office One of the whig spies who was sent to Ann Arbor to pet vert and misrepresent the proceed ings of the Democratic State Convention in a letter to the Advertiser says a specimen of their gerrymandering Clark of St Clair endeavored to have Me Knight of your city and some others represent the unrepre settled counties of Mackinaw and Chippewa but it was indignantly opposed and voted down In justice to Mr Clark it is proper for us to state that we have before us the authehtic pro ceedings of the democratic meeting held at Mackinaw on the 4th instant which are signed by the Chairman and Secretary respectively at which a blank resolution was adopted for the appointment of delegates to the state conven tion and Messrs John Clark and Sheldon Mc Knight authorized to fill the blanks in the reso lution as they might see proper The Spy in This favorite and cherished offspring of all the talents decency manliness and veracity of tbe clique of whig writers in thtscity is now the leading organ of the whig party of the state zs a party may be judged by its leaders we hope the Spy will be scattered abundantly throughout the state In stead of dealing in fair open inly discussion of great public measures the editors grovel in low vulgar coarse attacks upon individuals utterly regardless of truth or propriety It must be a bad cause that needs or will employ such wea pons to promote it ET The city corporation now have authority by the charter to issue evidences of debt in the form ora currency if they choose of the denom ination of one dollar and upwards though a subsequent law prohibits them from issuing any of a less denomination Now when' a merchant or innkeeper or grocer goes to the corporation with five ten or twenty dollars of shinplasters in denominations below one dollar why does it not give in return evidences of debt of the de nomination of one dollar or upward accor ding to law instead of issuing and putting intotircu lation as they do those under one dollar in pal pable Violation and contempt of law I Is it be cause they lore shinplasters illegal irredee lia ble picayune shinplasters A The disputed territory of Maine embrum At the Maine election of 1837 tire federal presses claimed their as the fruit of a de cided reaction in public sentiment brought about by the unpopular measures of the administra tion Now since their late defeat they say that their boasted triumph in was because the democratic candidate for Governor was an un popular man who did not draw out the whole democratic vote Such is the consistent cha racter of modern whiggery Its leaders really suppose they can make the people believe that black is white or white black The difference The federal papers are bu sy in endeavoring to show that a large number of the delegates to the democratic state con vention were office holders or in other words successful candidates for office If the whig presses would just look over the list of delegates to the whig state convention they would find it made up of office seekers or in other words de feated candidates for office The difference is that the former enjoy the confidence of a ma jority of the people while the latter do not Will the Advertiser be good enough to inform us how much wheat corn armer of has ra sed the present year If the whig candidate for Congress is such an en terprising agriculturist as his friends who know nothing of him represent him to be they can easily give tho acres and the bushels The last Gazette has offered in behalf of Mason as it pretends a premium fora first rate electioneering humbug We have it gentlemen the Whig Party is the thing ex actly No greater humbug! ever has been or canbe therefore we claim the premi fork over Monroe Tinies Later from A bill has been in traduced into the House of Lords by Lord Brougham which appears to have 'given the British ministry some embarrassment The bill purports to legalize the acts as far as possible pf Lord Durham and to indemnity all who have been guilty of illegal acts by his orders According to the English papers this bill is considered a severe censure unon Lord Dur barn as ft assumes that he has been guilty of illegal conduct After considerable discussion and much squnaming ijmong the ministers the bill passed There ha been ko much rain of late in Eng land that crops are severely injured in cense qucnce of which the price ol grain has material! increased

mischievous ar tcle of the Globe denouncing the policy so ge nerally adopted by the republican states of bor rowing money on state bonds for carrying onimprovements The affected compliment of tlie Globe to Gov Mason is an indirect if not an insidious stab at his public reputation for who has urged stronger than Gov Mason has in his official communications the policy of borrowing on state credit $5000000 for pur poses of internal improvement or contended more strenuously than he has for the expedien Cy of creating a State Bank with a capital to be obtained principally on state credit In the letter to the Adrian committee which the Globe takes as a text for lecturing against incurring state debts for any purpose whatever and par ticularly for a State Bank Gov Mason rfoirr you areaware are favorable to such en institution and at the proper time its friends shall receive my entire co operation" The truth that the whole scope of the article revolutionize the policy of almost every republican state in the Union for what state is there except the federal states of New England that las contracted state debts by the sale of state stocks for the purpose of building state railroads

there is imminent danger of our ancient landmarks being swept away our barriers of safety against the tide broken down and a rush of wild wa lers over the whole continent of democracy Although present indications would give us hope that tbe fury of the storm will ctop short ol such disaster still there is danger that de mands the united resistance of every friend of an unobliterated constitution the names and the services of such men as their glass walls will be broken andlhe chilling IV ashingion Jefferson Madison and Patrick Henry are not yet forgotten even by the unre membering whigs The opinions of such men once had their weight in the minds of the peo ple and in the councils of the nation They were the favored agents in the hand oLthe God of nations that laid the solid foundations and reared tbe well cemented and beautifully pro portioned superstructure of the noblest temple that ever greeted the sun light or the gaze of the world as a monument of the godlike pow erset man Will the great measure the heart and soul of the whigs are mingling with the measure to which all their hopes are centered the measure on which there is to be a perfect concentration of their moneyed and political energies stand the test of such minds as have made the glori ous temple of liberty overtop all the proud fa brics of the world! That measure is known and by themselves acknowledged to be a United Stites Bank the banishment of gold and silver from the country and a paper money flood would that we could in the voice of the thun der that rolls over the land from mountain to mountain ask every whig to pau and reflect and inquire of his conscience while his head rests calmly on his pillow whether the light iked abroad by such a constellation of patriots and sages is not worth regarding We all have a deep momentous interest at stake and wears alike inheritors of the inestimable boon they have given ns In the name of Heaven then let us not under the maddening influence of party warfare cast it from us Lei us look back fellow citizens of the whig ranks and see wnere the effulgence of that constellation will direct us Does it come and stand over the mar ble palace of the bank Herod showing that he will save us from our banking ins and lead us ta haven of safetv?
