Usury Laws and Physicians.
An article in the Southwestern
News, under the above caption,
crept in our paper yesterday, una
wares to us, and as it touches on
important subjects, and contains
sentiments entirely opposite our
own, we feel bound to give some
remarks upon them.
We are fully persuaded that there
are no laws more just and proper
than Usury Laws, and those estab
lishing the rate of interest on mon
ey, notes, &c. They are in accor
dance with scripture and laws that
have obtained in all civilzed na
tions for the space of five thousand
years—very good reasons for the
continuance ot such laws, if there
were no other reasons in their fa
vor. But there are other plain rea
sons for their continuance. Among
these are the iacts; Eirst, as value
less as money is without relation to
other values, it is nevertheless, the
most fascinating in its inliuence of
all earthly objects, so much so, that
the “love” of it is termed “the root
of all evil.” The experience of the
world proves that all objects ot
passionate regard require stringent
laws to regulate their acquisition.
By the removal of the Usury Laws
and laws regulating the value of
money, an undue encouragement
is given to its acquisition, without
regard to the necessary productions
of society, and an additional stimu-
lous is given to the worst and most
fearful passion of humanity. Sec
ondly, as money, or a circulating
medium, is found to be a necessity
of society, and as it possesses no
value of itself, the laws regulating
its value should be such, and such
only, as to encourage its use and
acquisition to that extent, that will
aid to the greatest extent in pro
ducing the real necessaries and com
forts of life. In our‘ humble opin
ion, value set on money, generally,
in our country by the laws, is too
high for these purposes. This pro
position, of course, will remain a
matter of opinion, until more learn
ed writers than have yet appeared
to demonstrate the truth, shall arise.
Thirdly, w e notice that the opposi
tion t.o these laws eomps fmm
sy talking and speculating men.—
It is never heard among the farm
ers, real merchants, mechanics, or
any other hard working and produ
cing people. But men they say,
will get around and evade these
laws! That it is often both to the
interest of the borrower and lender
to do so. Be it so. Both borrow
ers and lenders of money require
restraints. A few usurers, borrow
ers, and lenders constitute but a
small portion of the community,
are generally non-producing and
useless characters, and the fewer
the better. Better that a few should
be such, than all should be so;
and better a few loafers than mon
ey for any society, any community.
As.to laws regulating the liberty
to practic the art of a physician, we
are persuaded they are entirely too
lax already. By making them
more lax, of course, men would
Study and labor less to acquire that
most difficult of all arts, the art of
healing, the less medical skill would
be found in society, and the greater
would be the number of persons
killed by quacks and nostrums.—

of human life, and we know of no
method by which they can be
more efficient in this respect, than
in preventing people from bmng
killed by fools and knaves, lhe
abolishment of the usury and me -
ical laws would be for the benefit o
knaves and fools, to the injury o
society aud honest and sensible P®°*

Utica and black River Railroan,
our attention was arrested by the
singular appearance of an apparent
ly middle aged man, w hose hair anti
whiskers were perfectly white. YY e
learned, upon inquiry, that he was
a native ot Oneida county, but was
now a resident of California, where
he has resided for several years, en
gaged principally in mining, lhe
cause of his white hair he explain
ed as follows: He was engaged in
mining and had several men at
work m a mine which extended
some ways under ground. One day
he went to carry the dinner to his
men, and when he had been there
but a few minutes, they heard the
unmistakable sounds of the cav ing
in of the sides at the mouth of the
shaft. .
Four men started at once, hop*
ing to escape, but were met by the
falling earth and crushed to death.
He was .enclosed in a space of about
six by twelve feet, while three men
below him were cut oft from *ny
communication with him, and he
supposed they were crushed to
death. He had a light and plenty
of water and provisions, but his
chance of ever seeing daylight were
not very flattering, as he was some
sixty or seventy-five feet under tlie
surface of the earth, and he was not
certain that the disaster would be
discovered iu time to make aiijr at
tempt to relieve. him; and it such
attempt should be made, tlie pros*
pect was that- it would prove inef
fectual.
Fortunately the disaster was car*
Jv discovered and a large force was
at work, and after unreraitted ex-
ertrons for three days and nights,
he was discovered in an exhausted
condition. The three men below
him were also found alive. When
taken out his friends declared that
for a day or two he was partially
insane. His hair had also become
nearly white during his confine
ment. His feelings during those
three days he claimed could not be
imagined, but that x his whole life
passed rapidi, in review, and that
every act was brought vividly to
mind. In fact those three days ap
peared a life-time to him. He said
that the sight of one of those shafts
always caused a shudder to pass
over him.— Watertown (K. Y.)Jour-

Iloli
tes, the Poet, on Abolition
ism.
Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, the
New England poet, pronounced a
lecture recently before the New
England Society, in New York, in
which he gave great offence to ab
olitionism and proved himself a
sensible man. We extract the fol
lowing from the report in the
Times:
Ultra-abolitionism found no fa*
y-vr. it io txjx-j imiLh iiiu same
wiili the black and white races as
it is with the red and white. The
white must rule. It is a law of na
ture. The Indian, a sketch made
by Deity in red crayon as the out
line of a more perfect manhood, is
hunted down and extinguished.—
The black, according to the Doc
tor’s theory, is and must continue
inferior to the white. The thing
that remains to be done, is to assim
ilate the whites of the North and
South in feeling, so that civil dis
cord may not finally end in open
war. New England stands on an
isthmus, and busy hands are dig-
ding away the earth that still con
nects it with the main land. Let
us not, we beg, seo New England
poisoned through and through with
a hatred that hates the sinner with
the sin. Let her not run oft* into
a corner with her negative virtues^
till her blood becomes too thin and
cold for a true patriotism.
“Enlarging upon this point of the
subject,” says the Times, “the Doc
tor was Hissed pretty loudly, but
the cheers overpowered the hisses,
and the
oration was finished with
If laws are valuable for anything, j every manifestation of delight upon
they are valuable for the protection • the part of his audience.”
