THE DEMOCRAT.

v. Mcdonald, Editor. PLYMOUTH, IND. Thursday Morning, October 15, 1857. Legalized Pririleges. How long will the people, in this intelligent age, submit to partial legislation? How long will they continue to grant charters to moneyed monopolies, h!ah grow aad fatten upon the labor and subtanc? of th great producing classes? and, after bating grasped the arteries of commerce and exchange, turn upon them, like the poisoned asp, and :in them to the death! Every bank chartered by the Legislature is permitted to do business on three times the amount of tue capital actually paid in A bank chartered with a capital of $100,000 is permitted to issue bills to th amount of $300 ,000. This is unfair the legislature will not authorize and empower an individual, having a thousand dollars, to transact business on three thousand. It is unfair to assist an association of capital by giving it tripple advantage?, when small, individual means, are denied qual favors. It Is a great evil to legislate with partiality to favor the strong and neglect the weak. Equal and exact justice to all should be the basis of legislation. One bank is built upon the paper promises of othra. To illustrate: A. has $5,000 on the Bank of Pittsburgh; B. has an equal amount on the State Bank of Ohio; C.bas a large amount on the State Bank of Indiana; and others of the stockholders have the paper promises of neighboring bank?, tieh paper they throw together and apply to the Legislature for a charter of a bank with a capital of100.003.sa2Zeiin.withprivik-etodo buines on $30n,000! Capital, without special favors of legislation, entirely unaided, has an advantage over labor ; labor crcats capital, it clear your lure, raises provisions and breadstuff, builds canal.4 and railroads, locomotives and steamboats, delves into the mine and brings forth its riches, it lin-li the gold and silver, manufactures the dies and coins the money. It is wrong to cripple that which produces, ly any mean-, but more especially by j granting .-racial Privileg to a moneyed corpora- ' tien which produces nothing save its irredeemable . , i ; ... . r.ie. It w- favoring capital vou rob the producer,; ar.d cripple the energy of the laborer. But the banks do not restrict theii iisiie to triple their capital; they go far beyond this, and to such an extent as to become alarming" even to thtinsclvcs ; a? is evinced by the proceedings of a meeting of backers in Philadelphia, October 8th, convened to consult upon the present money crisis, j They urge upon the extra session of the Ts. Legis j hin in anv other State in the Union. As much m to say: " if you have 25 cts. it would he unsafe to put afloat more than 75 cents in shin-plasters! One bank being built upon the promises to pay rf other banks, ard flooding the country rrth its paper issues, inflates the currency, and gives rise to the n ildest and most visionary speculations. The price of labor, of mcrchmdiae, of everything, is rshai ccJ in a ratio equal to the over issue of paper money beyond the actual mt-alic capital ; and this nly to be prostrated below its proper level so soon -a the bank-baloons are tapped for specie. It is a unk estimate to say there is four times as much pa per muney afloat as there is gold and silver to re deem it; there is, therefore an unreal value attacht d to everv article of commerce as well as to real 3UlC.

kr.o the assets and liabilities of almost every Lank in the Union. If they do rot they are unfit for the basin??. They tudj it and learn it just as a mechanic learns his trade. Where there is a diitinction legalized in the currency of a countrv, the h'ast in value will be kept iu circulation, w hile the hiore precious will b hoarded. This is natural. r-'uch being the fact, by the ordinary and natural otirse of trade, the pro. hieing and business classes btcorae the auflYrcrs from bank failures But the f vil does not stop here; bankers in the west asccrt tin that some bank in the eaat is about to go by iS hftrd, and whde its money is yet quoted par, bring on large quantities and pay it to the laborers upon railroads and canals, or buy up wheat, flour, r.zi-i live sto-k; scarcely has this money been paid into the hands of the many, before the news reaches us ly telegraph, that the bank has failed! Is not thi- true ? Iok at the ban mob at Jancsiilo, Wi., recently; (to be found in this paper,) it i.-as pre wly analogus to the ras put. They paid t ut Hartford, (Conn.) inony for wheat, and when the new of it failure arrived which it spcadily did the JauesTille hank refused to exchange the Money with the farmers ; hence the mob. Now h? Hertford money depreciated, the Janmillc bnk tan icnd out it agents and purchase up the jiper at 25 or 50 cts. on the dollar and pay their debt to the Hartford bank in their own money, out f which the Wisconsin bank ha realized a tery 'irge per ccntagc.and the producing classes been defrauded of their grain and labor. Thu is legalised robbery with a vengeance! One Lank being built upon the Unucs of other binks, all must necessarily be equally affetted by raoaoj preiaurcs. ai a general rule ; there are exCations. They may be compared to a roir of bricks oton end; 8trt the first, and all in the row trill be prostrated. Tiros': The Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Company failed for about $7,000,000 : she knocked down banks and stock-jobbers, all ot cr the I'nion, to the tune of upwardj of $100,000,000, rn 1 the end ht not yet.

Under this state of things, and with the facts and experience of tho past and the present before us, ought we not, as a people, to throw ourselves back upon the constitutional currency, and utterly refuse to charter any new bank in the future, or re-charter any one now in existence ? Let them die out, they arc but legalized swindling shops ; ind since we must pass a monied crisis, let us make the work complete, so that when we outgrow the pressure we may grow prosperous upon a sound and substantial basis. General Jackson and the Democratic party fought paper money out of existence as a National currency, and it remains for the Democracy to crush it out as a State currency. The reanons urged in the one case are equally forcible in the other. Drive paper money out of existence, and in the language of Thos. II. Benton, " gold will flow up the Mississippi, and glitter through the interstcrcea of every farmer's long silken purse." Drive out the worthless bank trash, and you reduce the inflated to the real standard of prices ; and in doing this "you cover the country with benefits and blessings."

Low Prices. The low price of all kinds of produce, and the stringency in the money market, creates a deplorable inactivity in all depaitraenta of business. It was thought by merchants and business men generally, that when the fall crops were brought into market, that "Times would be easier;" but the uncommon low prices which are offered to the producer, together with the crisis in money matters, are a sufficient reason for the dullness of the business prospects throughout the country. It was thought, soon after the wheat markets were opened, that prices would be better for the seller, after there was enough brought in to make it an object for men of capital to engage in the trade, but instead of increasing, they havc grown "gradually small, and beautiless; and lhe cl8 for a ibcral ' reward to the tillers of the soil, are poorer now than they h? ve been for several years Yc have talked with several of the farmers in this county, relative to the sale of their wheat, and, with very few exceptions, we find that they propose to wait fox higher prices, and by so doing compel their creditors to wait on them. This is a 6tate of affairs much to be deplored.especiallv when then? jg nQ prospect that lhe pricesviil bo , . . . . . . . any higher but, on the contrary, a deo . . . J I.. j . .... - not strange that the farmers, after getting 75c($l,50 for their wheat, are loth to take 5'J(tf 6Jc. and receive therefor, money that is liable any day, to become worthless. We well remember the time when 50c. per bushel was considered a good price; but their dry goods and groceries for about one half what they formerly had to pay. We are pleased to notice the farmers are not disheartened, but putting in 1 irger ! crops than they had last year, and intend making up in quantity what they lack in price. This is the proper method of redeeming themselves from the thralldom of debt, which a crisis like this is calculated i to entail. The School. It seems as yet to ba a doubtful ques tion whether we are to have a Free School . .1 . . 1:1 town, this winter, or not The reason 1 m n hT the Irustees are unwilling to hire tcachors, U the uncertainty of being able to collect the corporation school tax lovied by them for the current year, JuJ pelitf of Lafayette Lag decided , . , , . th"t the trustees of incorporate towns have j no power to levy or collect a Lax for school purposes, and that tho law giving them tho right, is unconstitutional and void; and as it i3 understood that the cas-3 is carried as soon as teachers can be hired, if male teachers, who are ready and willincr to commence select schools at reasonable rates, if the citizens who are interested will give thcra any encouragement, and one, Miss Mary A. How, has already openled a school in the Seminary so there can no longer bo any uso of having tho streets filled with children from morning tiil night for wa it of a school to scud them to. 1m .Honctary. It is very difficult, these times of Bank failures, to know what money to tike, or what to do with the little money wc may chance to have. Wo notice in one of our Ohio exchanges, that the officers of tho State Dank have held a meeting, and decided not to suspend specio"payments for their paper. Paddock's Detector reports that tho specie paying banks of Ohio, the State Bank of Indiana, the Dank of tho State of Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Missouri Banks are all considered sound, and their notes are taken at par. Kannü We learn from the Chicago Press, that the Free State men have succeeded in tho late election; returns aro meagre but enough is known to show that Parrot is elected to Congress, without doubt. jtiTTho half of a block of buildings in Chicago was destroyed by fire on the 12th inst. loss $125,000. 0ur friend M.

Good! It tjives us pleasure to record a democratic victory, evon if it is not in our own county. May the democracy of Fulton, continue in wellpoing. California. J. B. Weller, (Dem.) has been elected Governor of California, by 11,000 major Caleb Ctisliing at an Agricultural Fair An Eloquent Speech. At the Essex Mass. County Agricultural Fair, held at Kewburyport, tho residence of Hon. Caleb Cushino, last week, that gentleman was called upon for a speech. He responded as follows. His remarks are peculiarly appropriate at the present time : Mr. President You do me muesli honor. I have been but a bpectator hero today; a pleased, a satisfied, an admiring one, but still a spectator, having no privilege of presence as a practical member of this society. As a Loker-on, it has gratified me exceedingly to witness the exhibition of cattle and especially that of fruits, flowers and osculant vegetables, and of objects of aomesuc art, skin, ana taste, winch can the yet more interesting one of the men, yes, and the women, whom this annual festival, the true farmer' holiday, has brought in concourse to-day to the city of Xuberryport. I havo seen before me the living representation of the strength and sinews of the country, its proprietary and its industrial popuhtion, immediately connected with the cultivation of its land, and the representation also of the mothers, wives and daughters of Essex; second in virtue, intelligence and beauty to none in the wide world, and of whom it may bo said, that if, according to jlhe old tradition, we lost our primeval paradise by the fault of Eve, it were a paradise well lost for the paradise regained in the society of tho daughters of Eve, these household divinities of the homes of Massachusetts. And in you, the choice men of tho rural population of the county, I see tho worthy descendants of those who, two hundred years ago, planted in this land the British race, "language, thought, love of independence, and force of character, which have mado us what wc are which reclaimed the country from its aooriginal savago inhabitants and defended it against foreign foes ; tho descendants of those who, wherever duty called them, whether to the ramparts of Louisburg, the ensanguined banks of Bloody Brook, or the cannon-ploughed brows of Bunker's Hill, were over foremost in the path of honor and of danger. Yes: when I look around on these earnest and thoughtful faces before me, hardened by volintary labor, and yet illuminated by intelligence and education, I see how it is that Massachusetts creates, invites and propagates tho ideas of the country, and I feel that in you and such as you, is the never-failing support of the welfare aud glory of tho Union. And,gentlemen,thc spectacle of this day, its objects and its persons, have led me to another reflection of a less general nature, but associated with current events, and which, thereforo, most naturally arises in the mind. The United States, nt this moment, aro passing; through what is called a financial crisis, a stringency in the money market, a panic-terror in the ranks of business men, which shock and disturbs all the relations of commerce and exchange. Happy at such a time arc you, the cultivators of the land, of that boon, mother earth alma genctrix --which, so long as the sun shines, and tho refreshing rains cf heaven fall, and 6ecl time and harvest succeed one another, is tho only certain and cxhaustless source of the prosperity and greatness of men and of nations. Olio Of tho wisest of tho present economists of Prance, when reflecting on tho losses which that country has incurred by calamitous river inundations; by tho waste ot lifo and treasure iu tho war with Russia; by successivo years deficiency in the grapo and ether crops; by the disproportionately high price of the ncccssaiies of life; by tho tendency of the population to nccumu.1 i i . ants, and by tho immense disasters of rev olutionary convulsions and sanguinary civil conflicts occasioned by the chronic struggle between traditional public institutions and Utopian schemes of socialistic change in the condition of tho human raco reflecting upon all this, I say, ho consohd himself by tho further reflection that he might look with undoubting confidence for remedy to all this iu the recuperative power of the foil and the agricultural population vf Fr?"cc.

Hoir pregnant with suggestion ia that thought to "us of the Ünitcd 'Suite's" at the present time?" Kot upon our land, as upon that of France, have periodical inundations and failures. of crops corao to neutralize the labor of man: nor for us ns for her has the best cf ourbloöd aud of our resources been squandered in sterile wars of pride, caprice, or national jealousy; not along our sky as in rwrs hag the avenging denJon of domestic discord paused, bhaking from beneath the thunder cloud cf his black wimp the lightning shafts of revolu'ion and t-ivil war, in terror and deflation, upon men's devoted heads; not among us as th;re is a redundant population pent up hi overcrowded cities, and condemned to extort from a long-tasked soil its unwilling yield, bat instead f all this, we have never-ceasing terrestial productiveness, unbroken domestic peace, institutions strong in their well-ordered freedom, and this rich country of ours to cultivate and occupy, with iis glorious forests, its fertile prairies, its flowing rivers, its inland seas, us metal teeming earth in a word, this great Lind, in all its untouched native strength, as it was on that first holy sabbath of tho creation, when, as it bloomed and smiled in its maiden charms beneath His well-pleased eye, it was declared to be good by the Omnicient Mind and Omnipresent Voice of the Almighty. If, then, it can be so. truly said in France that she h'8 a sufficient remedy for all, even the greatest calamities, in her agricultural resources, how much more confidently

may we look to the same quarter for rlief for whatever there is most unwelcome in the commercial crisis which at the present moment, afflicts the United States. I do not hesitate, therefore, to say, that in you, the landed interest of the country, is to be found the solid substrattuni of our material welfare, and now, as at all other times, the sure salvation of the commercial prosperity of the country. Banks may suspend payment in specie, but the sun does not cease to shine; merchants may fail, but the earth doe3 not; railroad stocks and bonds may go down, but the harvest comes, and its cotton, tobacco, sugar, wheat, corn and rice, fill our storehouses and our grancries; bills of exchange may be protested, but the coal and iron of Pennsylvania and ir ginia, the lead of Wisconsin, the copper of Michigan, and the gold and quick-silver of California remain; many a weary merchant as he scans the paws of his ledger may sink in dispondency, but millions of strong hands and bold hearts will survive to carry on tho business of life, promote individual well-being, and work out the great problem of the growth and grandeur of the United States. We, it is true, have our pet public afflic tions, and wc mako most of them. I feel j ashamed sometimes to think how petty are the political troubles winch pre-occupy us,! and then, again, I rejoice and feel proud to think how supernal is the condition of our country winch enables us to enjoy the satisfaction of grumbling and fretting about such trivial and itrsi'nificant things. If you were to heed the sensation paragraphs

Naturo and man work in concert still in the everlasting co-partnership of generation and regeneration ; and they together are omnipotent in this our heaven favored land of America. From Central America. A Panama correspondent of tho N. Y. Herald, writing under date of the 18th ult., says : " From Nicaraugua thero is no important news other than it is expected the State will ere long be ravaged by civil war again, as there is little harmony of sentiment existing between the aristocratic and the popular or democratic factions into which tho State is divided. 11 In Costa ltica all is quiet. V. Carey Jones. Esq., on whose mission but little light has yet been thrown, still remains in that State. From an incident which recently transpired it is probable he will havo no further diplomatical communication with the Costa Kican Government ; the tacts connected with which are as follows : In a previous communication from Punta Arenas 1 detailed the arrival at that port of a party of fillibuslers from Rivas, the last of Walker's army, who, at the period of the capitulation, wero unablo from wounds or disease to bo removed, and who at that timo were left under the caro ot a Dr. Koyston, ono of Walker's surgeons. Along with this party, who wero sent to Punta Arenas, camo a Major Stroebel, together with his wife, an American hdy. Major Stroebel had been connected wth Walker's army as a topographical engineer. On his arrival at Punta Arenas, he was ofTcred a passage to Panama, along with tho other party who were brought down by the sloop of war Decatur, but he preferred to remain, slating that he had received offers of employment fron General Canas, to superintend tho surveying of a routo for a wagon road from San Joso to some point on tho Atlantic, whence the productions of tho country could bo shippod, instead of-Punta Aienas, as is done nt present. But the project of tho wagon load appear! to have ho jn abandoned, and tho Majo to have fallen under thc bin nf tho late 'decree, ordering all who had been connected with the

oi tne puDiic journals and the vague üec-; f;U back upüM Cawnpore, terribly decimalamation of thc hustings, you might con- j ted by tl,e cholera. There is every reason ceive that millions of men here in the Urn- lo beiiete that this news, discouraging as ted Sla'.cs were in arms for fratricidal com- 'n iSj j3 true lt ig not slateJ on wh;lt day bat; that mighty.eitidels were lost and won lhe gar, ison of Lucknow surrendered, or daily by contending hosts; that embattled was overcome by the rebels; but it must legions were m the field pouring out against ,ave been about the first of the present

late Walker expedition to leave the country, unless the government granted them special permission to remain. Major Stroebol is also said to have been indiscrete in his advocacy of the Walker cause; at all events, be was ordered to leave the State. Mr. Jones interposed in behalf of the Major, but. so far from his efforts being of any avail, his interposition Was viewed in an offensive light Mr. Jones, therefore demanded Ins passports, which the government refused to grant him, assigning as a

reason that they viewed him as only in the! capacity of a private citizen, and consequently meriting no higher consideration. Mr. Jones is at present stopping at Punta Arenas, where he will remain until the next voyage of the Columbus, when he intends going to San Juan dtil Sur, and thence to San Salvador and Guatemala. " The preliminary surveys to demonstrate the practicability of constructing the Honduras Interoceanic Railway aro slowly progressing. There is no doubt as to the feasibility of the route, except at one point, known as the summit. Whether this may be passed is, as yet, extremely problematical. Lieut. Wm. N. Jeffers, cf the U. S. Navy, who has recently completed a survey of the harbor at Tiger Island, in the Bay of Fonseca, tho terminus on the Pacific coast, reports favorably as to the advantages which the harbor presents for shipping. At the urgent request of the company, after the completion of the above survey Lieut. JeQers has taken charge of a party, which is to make a reconnoisance of a part of the route, from the Pacilic side ; and from his extensive practical experience in topographical engineering, he will certainly prove a most important aid to the company. In Honduras the cholera, which has been raging for sometime, has broken out with fresh violence, and among the victims is Gon. San Martin, ex-President of the Republic, and two of his daughters. " Costa Rica won't hear of Nicaragua making any grant of the transit route to Vandorbilt. There is evidently a strong feeling of animosity breeding between the two States, and it would not be surprising if ere long it broke into open war. Costa Rica is quite saucy after her campaign in Nicaraugua, and thinks herself a match for j all creation, and Nicaraugua is doubtless sore upon the point of owing her libera Hon from alker to her little neighbor. " A report had reached Punta Arenas by the Sarapique mail that Xicaraugua had seized the San Juan River boats in the name of Vanderbilt. The correctness of this statement was doubted, and as we have received no confirmation of it by way of San Juan del Sur, (to Sept. 2d.) it is probably unfounded." Important from ia--FaII IjieLnnu .

Kansas and jVciv Mexico. St. Louis, Oct. 12 The Leavenworth, Kansas, Herald of tho 10th,. says that official returns of Leavenworth county aro nearly completed. The average Democratic majority is 250, securing five members of tho lower and five of the upper house. The average Democratic majority in Atch'nson county is GD, insuring three members iu tho lower house and one in the upper. Jefferson county, Republican by 150 majority, giving two members to the house and one to tho Council. Douglas county, Republican by 1,500. Johnson county has gone Democratic by 1,600 majority.

Calhoun county, net majority C4; elects one member of tho house. The Democrats charge that numbers of armed men came from Nebraska and voted the Republican ticket. They also claim a majority in both branches of tho Legislature. Companies I), E and L, of the 4th artillery, arrived in this city yesterday from EloriJa, en route for Sacramento. The Democrats bavo a largo majority in the legislature of New Mexico. No official returns from Kansas, but it is generally conceded that tho Face State party havo carried tho Territory.
