S A V AWN AH:
TUESDAY EVENING, NOV. 19, 1839.
from this happy land. Men starving, never rea
son, but vCnt their ftiry always upon some popu
lar object of indignation. Banks have always
pte wnted such objects—the poor are naturally
prejudiced against them.
Are our Loco Foco bank officers and directors
prepared for tins state of tilings? Have thoy
crAc .ilated dm costs? Have our sober, discreet citi-
cans, who own no hank stock, reflected maturely
upon the coming storm ? 1 becomes every lover
of his country now to become both a politician
and an economist; mid though we are poor at
both trades, we have endeavored honesdy to raise
a mere corner of the veil of futurity, which kind
ly, for die present, shrouds the coming storm.
Already die muttering thunder begins to growl
along die northern horizon,and specks of black va
pour to riso from die east, while tho wind moans
and howls most dismally. Let wise men prepare
and beware. Those that sow the wind, shall reap
the whirlwind.
PLAIN TALK ABOUT THE HARD MON
EY HUMBUG.
The ink is hardly dry upon the types of our
last plain chat, before confirmation of one of it*
positions arrives from one of the fountain-heids
of Loco Focouun. We aaid that die hard money
men were not sincere, and would hack out when
brought to die test. We copy tho following (lom
an exchange paper of the 12th:
“Backing Out.—After all the abuse of Banks,
and which contributed much to dm success of the
Loco Foco# ill Tennessee, Gov. Pm.K olid his
party are not prepared to go die extreme length
of ultraism. some of his friends in the Senate
got up a resolution to instruct tho State Bank to
resume, but it was negatived, 14 to 9, six qf Aw
i own adherents toting against it.”
Hurrah for hard money humbugs. Th : a was in
Gen. Jacksox’s own State, and ho present on the
ground, (and not dead). Are even tho “Hugo
Pawa”—•“llanl Fist”—and “Simon Pure*," as
they call themselves, frightened at die monsters
they have conjured up 1
But to return to our plain chat. It may be said,
that though we have not specie to purchase for
eign supplies, our eoUuu will answer in its stead.
True.’—ccUvu supplies the place of hard money
in some measure, but it cannot do so tnoro than
it docs now, nor so much; for we cannot raise
as much. Why is gold nod silver exported now,
because exchange is above ten percent.! and,
why is it exported when exchango is above ten
percent.? Because there is a balance standing
against us iu Europe; and that balance will be
gready increased as onr hard money system goes
into operation, for the reason, that banking ope
rations under tho recent system, protracted the
day of payment until new crops catuc round, and
thus saved the specie in die country.
Let us, however, bring these abstruse matters
nearer home, and follow out die effects of the
hard money system upon our persons and inter
ests. We have stated that it would depreciate all
kind* of property and produce—crush emigra
tion—diminish one-half of our foreign trade, and
consequendy our domestic productions in die
•ante ratio. That it would mike die rich, richer—
and the poor, poorer—and grind every man to
earth trading upon credit, whedier mechanic or
merchant.
Exactly in the same ratio that it diminishes trade
and commerce—will it depress agricultural pro
ducts. What does the farmer or plauter do with
his surplus produce / Sells it! Sells it to whom /
Why, to the merchant and trader. But the mer
chants and traders are all broke, except those who
have hard money. Well, sell the produce to
them. How much can they buy t How much
cotton would he bought yearly iu 8avantlah for
gold and silver ? It is fair to presume that we
will never have more specie in die hands of our
merchants than are in die vaults of our banks
now. Say,at a rough guess, that there is two hun
dred diousand dollars;—how much cotton would
that buy ? Not one-fortieth part of our crop. All
tiie silver and gold now in New-York could not
purchase it!!! Is not diis a startling fact, if it be
a fact, and we believe it is 1 Then, if Uio produce
cannot he sold, what wih be the consequence /
The first and vciy natural result will be, that tho
farmers and planters will diminish their crops the
next year to the demands of the market. Next,
he will diminish his stock of negroes in propor
tion. Thus we will see this great agricultural
country paralyzed from its great circumference to
its centre, and Daw Crockett's go ahead princi
ple will no longer apply to us.
And when all these disasters are brought about,
' what is it for ? It i* a!! for the satisfaction of look
ing at gold and silver eagles, instead of paper
ones—and what are gold and silver themselves,
bat the representatives of more valuable commo
dities. Will not then the note or promise of a
good man, or good set of men, answer to rep
resent cotton or corn, as well as hard tnetul—
most assuredly it will; ntid the unexampled
growth and prosperity of this great country isn
proof that Banking operations as representatives
of gold and silver, ure the only roods to prosperity
for as.
. But let us look a little closer into the coining
\ calamities, in order that we may be prepared for
them. We have hitherto looked more at the re
sults of the new system, after it has gone safely
and quietly into operation. Will there be no
convulsions daring the transition ? We shall sec.
The banks, under the gripe of the money king
at Washington,proceed to. wind up, viz: they
call together their stockholders and divide the
plunder. This, when performed by a single bank,
is a simple and harmless operation enough, but
let five hundred banks all commence together,
and what then is the consequence 1 We must
follow a single stockholder for a moment, in or
der to ascertain. He goes to the Stato Bank of
Georgia at Savannah—he owns one hundred
•hares—the bank is dividing now, not only the
yearly interest, but capita! also. Well, our stock
holder receives one thousand dollars as his share
of the dust, and nine thousand in claims on a
bank ir Augusta. The bank 4n Augusta is per-
fonr‘n£ me same operation, and pays its debts to
onr stockholder by uuother draft on Charleston.
We believe it is usual for banks to settle balances
due to each other in specie, in safe times, but lot
• hard monied revolution come, such as we have
attempted to describe, and would they not do as
we have said / The half lias not been told. Mu-
ny of them would be torn down, until one stone
woa not left upon another, and the officers mob*
bed by au infuriated populace. And whut would
the people, who owned no stock, bo doing all this
time, while the stockholders wero scrambling for
the hard money? Evory dollar would be with-
■ drawn from circulation,—and for tho first time in
| this country, there' would be a cry for bread, and
| ouch a cry os never before ascended to Heaven
O* Should “ Quid Nunc” wish to have the
whole genealogy ofthe English Royal Family, we
can give it him; for the present, he is required to
inform himself. We would not expose igno
rance—but a “ ustu" history ax-ails much.

Canties, xvith about four hundred Americans.
Added to tiiis number, xvere about one hundred
Indians, belonging to a tribe living ou the Rio
Grande, near the villogo of Mier, and who are
said to be a race of savages, and considerably
skilled in the science of Mexican warf iro. Accor-
dingto this, Canales hail under his command eigh
teen hundred men—civilized, half civilized mid
savage—all pretty well armed, xvith considerable
ammunition. There xvere, however, no cannon.
Our informant says the greatest enthusiasm and
harmony prevailed throughout thishetwogeninu*
band, aiul that a perfect confidence of success in
their desperate adventure for the reduction ofthe
whole Uio Grande country to tho standard of fed-
oralisin, seemed to ho impressed upon the mind
of evory one; Tho first point of attack was to he
tho village of Mier where wore some two hnudred
Centralist troops; thence down to Matiinoras.
All tlie different places xvliere were stationed gov
ernment troops, or which ndliered to tho Central
cause, would probably bo laid under contribution.
If thoy do not receive a re pttl so in their first en
gagement. and succeed in putting to route the
government troops, wo may expect lo hoar of pi
ping times auumg the Centralists in this part of
Mexico. These federalists now under Can des
are tho same xvho but a short time since were driv

hive no quotation of India Bonds. Exchequer
Bills are, lioxvever, lower, being 4s to 2* dis.
This decline is solelv attributed to the state
of the market, which is borne down by an aggre
gation of small sums for money, and Has not neon
produced by any extensive operation. The For

SICKNESS AT NACHITOCHES.
The Naehitoches lie roll of the 2ftth ult. has the
folowing: Our towu lias suffered very severely
from sickness this season; mortality, we are in
formed, has been greater than many former year,
with the exception of thnt in which the cholera
visited us. We hoped that tlie heavy rains
xvc hail thexveek before last would produce a
change for the better; but unfortunately they xvere
followed by very warm weather. The sickness,
is confined altogether to the town and tlie neigln
boring x’illage of Grand Ecore; several of our citi
zens have retired to tlie pine woods.
A good deal of donht prevails as to the real
character of tlie disease; many affirm it to bo the
yellow fex’er. Within the last week or ten days
it has assumed a somewhat milder fonn; xvc have
two orthree new cases every day, but they gen
erally yield to medicine, if taken in time.
NEW-YORK ELECTION.
We have received, by the cars from Philadel
phia, tlie New-York pipers ofyesterday morning,
(says the Baltimore Patriot of tlie 15th inst.) in
advance ofthe mail.* There was nothing positive
ly decisive from tho third and sixth Senatorial
districts. Tho official returns of Albany and
Ilenuselluer counties give Root upxvards of 1100
majority over the highest Loco Foco. The uc
counts from the sixth district are considered as
rendering certain the election of tlie Whig.
The Courier and Enquirer says:—“By a letter,
from Cayuga county, we learn tliat Mr. McFad-
den, (Whig,) is elected to the Assembly, from that
county, by a majority of 16 votes." This gives
the Whig# 69 votes in the House, and a majority
of 10, with a chance for another member in Os
wego.
Massachusetts Election.—We have little comfort
from Massachusetts. Tho Post (V. B.) thinks
that Morton (V. B.) is elected. From 217 towns
it gives the following result:
Everett, (W.) 39,919
Morton, (V. B.) 40,303
Tory majority, 3S4
Ex'erett’s majority lost year, was 9,965—leaving
1,120 to be gained for Morton in the 88 towns to
he heard from, in order to elect him. The ag
gregate vote of last year wns 93,191; this year it
will probably reach 100,00(1.
Oltho House of Representatives, the Post ex
presses n doubt us to which party will lutve the
ascendancy.
In tlie sixth Congressional district there xvere
two Whig candidates, and is no choico.
Tlie Atlas has no doubt thutthe Legislature will
he Whig. It estiinutes Governor Everett’s ma
jority in tlie State at uboutGOO.

United States rs. One case of Cotiou Lace
(flail. Brothers & Co., claimants.)
This xvas a novel case. The goods in question
xvere entered for rerexpQrtnfion for tho bonefit of
the drawback. The Itixv of Congress required
that oil articles .claiming the benefit of the draw
back should lie exported iff the originul Package,
or the drawback would be forfeited tu ihe miicere
of the revenue ;ulso that tho goods should corres
pond xvith tlie original entry at die Custom House,
made at the time of importation, or tlie goods
would be subject to forfeiture.
It appeurod, on behalf of the United Stutcs, that
these goods xvere imported in March last, iu a
case marked G.B. sV Co., inn square. In June
following, tho goods were brought to tho Custom
IIouso for exportation, iu a ease which appeared
to be iiex\’, and with the mark of a di itnniid on it,
partly obliterated. The marks & number* appear
ed to have been recently made. Tlie cluiuinni’s
clerk was informed by the Export clerk that the
goods should have been put into tiie original box
or case; which was afterwards found and hioilght
to die public store, for tlie purpose of re-p ickmg
the lace therein. In the meantime, information
ofthe transaction reached tho Collector, who or
dered the goods to he seized.
It xvns contended, on tlie part of the claimants,
that there had been neither mi attempt nor an in
tention to defraud tlio revenue, nnd ti,e laxv speci
ally provided for tlie protection of persons acting
through Ignorance or luadvertancc, as in this case..
It appeared from the testimony ofthe clerk of
tho claimants, that Ins eniployers luid been iu bus
iness but txvo years, during xvhich time they nev
er had ocra-tion to re-export any goods. The
goods iu question were found to be unsaleable,
and tlie xvituess received orders to re-puck and
solid them hack.—Knoxving nothing of the xvork-
iugs ofthe revenue liws,or in fact ofthe existence
of the laxvfliaving reference to this case, lie put
tho goods into a nexv box and sent them to the
public store.

The following beautiful fables xvere translated
ft oiii the French, by one of the correspondents ol
tlie New York Mirror, in xvhich journal thoy xvero
published lust xvcck:
The llecs and the Wusp.—"What a generous
creature nitin must lie!” said a young lieo: “he
feeds m, give* ua a shelter, and spares us even
when we do him harm, I myself saw tho other
day, that xoino of us stung him, when he was
giving us food, ami vot he did not pause in his
act of generosity. What a noble creature ho
is!"
“VVliat n selfish one, rather," replied an older
neighbor. “He knows very xvell that lie gets his
honey back from us xvitli usury; that is mu on y
reason xvhy he feeds us iu xvinter, and forgives
our stinging him."
“That is all very well,” rejoined a xvasp, xvho
happened to fly past; “min is but a selfish ani
mal, after ail. I should like to knoxv ifuny body
ever heard of his feeding ust "
“If he did, lie would show greater folly than I
supposed him capable of. None hut a spendtiirft
is ever liberal to droues and idlers.’!
1 .—A Knight at chess looked down triumphant
ly on a neighbouring Puxvn. “A fine time xvo
should have of it if all onr army xvas made up of
such fellows os you!" How sloxv you travel! only
look nl me once!" so ho spoke, und jumped at
one spring half across the board. The Puwu said
nothing, but crept on, step by step, tii] it became
—u Queen.
2. —This, however, xvas not the end of it, “Did
not yonder idle fellow," said tho new Quonn,’'
sneer at my former low estate? Let us see if lie
is in a jesting humor now/" She advanced against
him, and the poor Knight fell before her at the
very first uttuck.
3. —“Is not such revenge sweet?" asked tlie
Queen of a no ighboring Castle.
“No doubt it is," wus the answer. “But l um
sorry to say that it betrays thy originul mean
extraction. The truly noble never seek revenge."
The young Wolf.—A young Wolf, wtio hid
ran uxvay from tn* post in an action with the troops
of-Duke Leopard, xvas brought up before the
judgrment seat of hismujesty, the Lion, and con
demned by the angry immarcli to recievc twelve
bloxvs, und to lose one of his ears
“That for me!” cried the culprit, and knelt
down before him—“for mo, whose father once
saved thy crown und life ilia perilous rebellion
and was raised to din highest rank in tlie rculm
for his good conduct."
“You are right," said King Lion, smiling,
“tho son of such u father deserves to ho dLtin-
guisiied from otiier criminals; so let him have
four and twenty blows, ami lose both his ears."
There are different ideas of justice in both die
human and brute kingdom.
'I he Dote uud Foz.—Tho Dove once obtained
the honourable nnd delicate post of liistoriun to
the animal kingdom, uud her impartiality wus
generally praised. Only the Fox, whoso tricks
she frequently hud occusion to mention, deemed
himself injured, so he watched for her, and when
he caught her, cried laughingly, “All. slanderer!
your file shall pay the forfeit ol your falsehood/”
“Huvo pity ou me," exclaimed the poor Dove,
“I never said any tiling about you hut tlie exact
truth."
“That is the very reason, you fool!—that is tho
vary reason 1 mu going to strangle you."
The LUtU Girl and her Christmas Present.—A
little girl qnco got, among her other Christinas
presents, u xylnp.liiit it wns a beautiful ono.a l work
ed xvith gold and red silk. Tho poor little thing,
who nlxvnys used to cry as soon as alio saxv such
an instrument, xvas much pleased with this duhi-
ouskind of present, for she thought, “Surely, so
pretty a rod cannot hurl so much as others do."
So she made a plaything of it, and carried iluhout
w.d* her wherever she wont. Unluckily, the very
next morning, she did something td displease her
mother, xvho, at once laid tho young ludy across
her knee, when she found, to Tier sorrow, that the
embroidered rod produced exactly tlie same effect
that plain onclHiKfd to.
