NOTICE.

A N Advertisement for the sale of Sundry
IN Property, conveyed by me some years
ago, to Pittman and Woodson, having APP.
peared in this paper cannot permit this
fragrant breach of friendship and politeness
on the part of Mr., William Woodson. to APP
pear in public print, without counterac,ing
those impressions which his advertisement
may make upon the public mind, That this
resort to obtain paultry balance due to
him, has proceeded from the non payment
or a refusal 10 pay-So far from that, Pro.
perty to the amount of six thousand dollars,
was conveyed to Piltman and Woodson, in
which thousand or eleven hundred dollars
due to those Gentlemen were Included
This conveyance was unasked for by either
Ct them.-The origin Of the deed is known
to the Gentlemen, and particularly 10 Mr..
Woodson, it was foreign from the purposes no
has used il. The friendship reposed in him,
has been converted to lucrative purposes.
and an exposition Of my feelings and proper.
ty has been the result Of the confidence pla-
ced in Mr.. Woodson, as ray frieud--A very
considerable sum has been paid, the paultry
balance Of q or s 500, has never been asked
for-The first indication Of his want Of this
balance, was bis advertisement, of at least
3 1000 worth of property, at time. Mr..
Ross was from home, making an arrange
ment with his father for the payment Of this
debt, and others.
II is with reluctance, have noticed this
advertisement, but do not despond, that
the public should think that unwilliugness
to do Mr.. Woodson an act Of justice, has gi-

BANK BILLS.

For some time past the sub Jet of Bank Bills has
occupied no small share Of the public attention. par
ticulary those of the Banks within the District OF
Maine. Considering how few there who tax,
bank paper that acquainted with the nature OF
institutions; the variety of reports in circula
ton, to the solvency of the Banks the discount
on bills and refusal OF many persons to take them
at any rate; we did expect that the Directors be-
fore this, would have given the public some state
ment that would have satisfied the community that
the bills are, if such is the fact entitled full con-
idence. The Banks, i'll our humble opinion, a.
well as the individual holders of the bills, No lid
have found their account in it. 1t would in great
measure have prevented that constant running
on the banks for specie il would have prevented
spectators from ayailng themselves of public fears
TO cry down tie bills for purchasing them up at an
enormous discount, at the expence of those who
had given currency TO them, and who ought to
have been protected from loss.
Of the Banking business we pretend to have no
specific knowledge, not being OF those who are
admitted into the secret of their proceedings ;
but have not tf least doubt of their being abund-
antly able to redeem all their bills, and the holders
oil them are perfectly secure by the law on this
subject which requires the bank to pay at the rate
OF per cent per mouth, in case of refusing to pay
their bills. Bat whilst it is incumbent on the Di-
rcctors of Banks to do their duty they have right
to expect that the public will have regard to the
state of the times and give that confidence and
faith to the bills, without which, it is impossible
Tor individuals or Institutions to proceed, without
great sacrifices not only to the corporation but to
The public at large.

The Difference.

The state of Public Credit is of the best tests
of the wisdom and integrity of those who administer
the government.
During the Federal Administrations the hold
of IT, S. Stock considered il as the best of prop
erty; no one, for momept, ever doubted the abi-
ity or disposition of the Government to fulfill all
its engagements. At this time, Massachusetts
State Notes, which bear an interest of only per
cent, are at par; whilst the United States Notes
(Exchecquer bils) bearing higher interest, issued
by democratic administration, are selling at 10
per cent discount, and a mere drug in the mar
ket and what is still worse the u. 5. stock crea-
ted by the loans for carrying on this abominable
war, bearing an interest of 8 per cent. and which
the government holden to redeem at par, is now
selling at discount of SO per cent. What would
be said of the solvency of merchant whose paper
was sold in the street at 30 per cent. discount he
would be pronounced Bankrupt, and unworthy
of trust or confidence. This is just the case with
our democratic rulers and those who have trusted
them are now smarting for il.

THe d Million.

1t will be recollected that Congress last winter
authorized the President to raise by loans, % mil
lions OF dollars In May last the Secretary of the
Treasury issued proposals for 10 milions--nearly
all this sum was obtained at SO: Ohat is, the sub
scriber to the loan, receives certificate of public
stock, in substance, a government note, for 100
dollars at per cent. interest, payable quarterly,
paying the government 80 dollars.) Since that,
the government have issued proposals for borrow
ing millions more; of this sum, only 8 millions
has been obtained. We learn that 6 millions has
been sent to Europe to sell: if sold, the govern
ment must obtain the money by selling bills of TX
ehange-in that case, there will be plenty of them
in market. Those wSe-acres who specuated in
this war loan, find il rather loosing go for their
100 dollar certificates which cost them 88 dollars,
can now be purchased at 20, making an irishman's
profit of 10 dollars
