BANK PAPER.

The banks of tn S town ave AT this time,
ami have for some time past been reducing
their circulation, consequently they pay out
none of their o7vn paper; but that Of the
banks of Washington and Georgetown,
principally which paper when pre- sem ed
at the banks north of the Potomac VIII
not be redeemed, (by some at leasD ex-
cept in such p:per as the banks here will
not receive-consequently the banks there
tax our banks with the circulation q giving
currency to paper less valuable than a
iexandra paper, but which G'lssrerS the
same turtoSC, as our banks give cnrrcn-
cy to it. The Georgetown banks then
have no occasion to curt,il; and the 6ro~-
kers there have by this means been en- bed
TO carry on an extensive business. and de
preciate certain country paper which is
thought to be fully as good as their own.
There is another circumstance worthy OF
attention in the course of exchange, bust
ness which has been introduced by the
brokers-In baltimore where district pa
per is pretended to be deprecated three
per cent, specie 10 higher than it is here
II Ri hraond our paper is at i2l discount,
and Virginia paper can be bought III guam
titles for per cent advance, and at Fred
ericksburg for five and six per cent, and
in New York where the exchange is ID or
IA per cent against US, specie Is nearly or
quite as high as it is here. Herald.

COMPENSATION BILL.

No subject, for several years past, has
excited more discussion and none, since
the last Congress, as much feeling, as the
Compensation Blll.-iu many of the States,
public meetings of the people have been
held to protest against 1.-THE Legislatures
ofNew-Hampshire and Rhode Island, have
adopted formal resolutions, against it and
in Kentucky, where the election for Con-
gress will take place in few days, MANY
citizens have made it test of Qualification.
Some Of the candidates have found it ex-
pedlent to pledge their best exertions for
the repeal of the law-Not only are John
son and Clay, who seemed rooted, as it
were, in tine hearts of their constituents
opposed by rival csndidates-but it is vet
doubtful which way the scales will in
cline.
1t is not surprising. that so much feeling
should have been excited on this occasion
The law itself is radically bad.
l. Admitting that some increase Of com
pensation was proper--still was it proper
to convert it from daily allowance to
yearly salary? Hit be said, that this mods.
compensation will tend to expedite and
abridge the business Of the session, NAV
it not also be asked, whether they are not
in danger of falling into the opposite ex-
IRENE of slumberng over the public bust
ness, and &c leaving undone great many
things which ought to be done ?"-Bcsdes,
if the mode of compensation were proper in
itself. is not the amount of it too high
9. But if this measure were necessary to
their successors, was il not very indeiicate as
It respected themselves Was it decorous
for the representatives of the people, not
only to be fixing their own salaries, but
to give it retrospective operation9
3. And it the measure were pTo0er. a
Il respected tn .nselves, why did they in.
crease their own salaries, and refuse to
increas- those of the other officers Of the
government, who were suffering, like
themselv s, from the allsdged depreciation
of the money of the country I--How can
they reconcile this partially to their own
interests, to any principle of justice or
decorum?
The law ought to be rep 'alcd--znl if
there be as mu n good sense and spirit
in the people, IS they have generally shewn,
not three weeks will have flown over the
next session, before this obnoxious law will
be sponged from the statute book
" 1t is said. that some differences Of
views have appeared among the Banks
OF New Hork.--Some wishing to tx day
for the resumption Of specie payments
the others being opposed to airy such mea-
sure.
