~ at -.
a. "If this inquiry should be answered
rs in the affirmative, am authorized TO
w. communicate further Nth you on The sut :
d ject." :.
D, II is this "further communication, "
y which is understood to have been sub
e mitted confidentially by Amos, to which
: we refer, and the purport of which we
. are enabled, as we believe, substantl-
5 ally to give.
l lst. The government is to select a
Bank. in New York, Philadelphia, BAL
timore, and one also in each OF the o.
Their principal sea-ports, which selec-
tons shall be mutually satisfactory to
the parties.
I'd. The government reserves the er-
cAtsice right to select Bank in Virgil
MIA, Alabama, and other south and
south western states, for the transac-
ton of the public business.
Sd. They also reserve the right to
designate, in each port, a second Bank
which shall be approved as to stability,
&c. by the banks previously selected.
4th. ALL these banks are to be Joint
partners; each guaranteeing the safe
ty and punctuality ofthe other, in such
manner, that their general capitals shall
be held responsible for the whole reve-
nue. the nation, collected during the
year; and for the puncutal payment of
it (when collected) to the order of the
Government IN SPECIE, al any and
every place where the Treasury De-
partment may require it.
9th. These Banks are to perform,
free from charge, all and every service
at present performed by the United
States Banks, &c.
So, then, here is a projected extern
sion of the Great New York humbug of
the Safety Fund.- the New York Safety
Fund Bank Tor Banks) is to guarantee
the solvency and honesty of the Great
Rag Machines of the South and South
West! Suppose those Banks blow up
as frequently as they have been accus
! toned to dol Why the New York Bank
, is to make good the detalcation. Sup
pose, then, the New York Bank goes
off in turn? What becomes of the
Safety Fundl-Whew, Who cares!-
Is it not all for the purpose of injuring
the United States Bank, and for the no.
nor and glory of "My Administration"
But it may be answered that it is not
intended, by the Treasury, to trust a
Safety Fund Bank. 0rrThe Manhat-
tan (solely and exclusively will pro-
badly answer for New York.
In sober earnest, however, we say
again, the deposites will not be ramov-
ed. No Bank that ought to be trusted
will come into the measures we have
indicated. The stockholders would
never consent thus to leopard their own
interests and safety. This will not be
a very comfortable information for
those who have been contracting to
deliver large quantities of stock at and
below 10. But we can't help it. So
the fact will prove; and the sooner the
Bears make all the necessary arrange
ments for pecuniary shipwreck-why,
the sooner ''the agony will be over!"
and that's the humor on'tl
The York pa Republican, in mott
cling the proposition of AMOS KENDALL
to the State banks to receive the public
deposits, holds the following pleasant
language, by way Of hypothesis:
"Suppose now, for one moment that
100000 ofthese public deposits were
put into the Bank here in York, and
pretty soon after, these funds should
be wanted by Uncle Sam in Pensacola,
to pay off a ship of war, whose hands
were aboutto be discharged, how would
the York bank get them there? Hire
Langley MeaGs and Tom Brown with
their carts to haul them there we pre-
sumo, for nobody is fool enough to sup
pose thatthose sailors would take checks
upon a Bank here-you might Just as
soon expect that Jack would take his
pay in the barnacles, fresh scraped
from the ships bottom"
1"oS0 Douiulil, ioIIIeTly represent
tatiye, has been elected to Congress,
by an almost unanimous vote, to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the death
of Mr.. Randolph.
The Nullifers mean, it is said, to
make in Congress, next winter, three
grand efforts:-they are to move-the
repeal of the Enforcing Act; a censure
on the main principles of the Procla-
nation Of last year; and some amend
