pearancc and dimensions, from among NUMBER
of others with which they were mixed 10 t"e ooo'

| The pressure in regard to money continues IN
Baltimore, to the great Inconvenience ot all cias
| eos og tho community. The cause Gifts cOntinu-
ance here, while in other cities the relief has
been so promptly obtained, It Is only IN the pow
er of the conductors of our monied institutions to
explain. That this pressure originated IN me de-
termination Of the President Of the United States
| tn remove the government desposites accruins
from the collection of the public Revenue from
the Rank of the United States, TO local bank,
| a hnftt q
that prudent caution the part OF the bank ct
the United States and its branches, made It ne
ce,sary for them to withhold the facilities which
thew had here toore afforded in discounts because
Of the uncertainty as TO the time which the depoS'
ties NAV be permitted to remain IN their posses
sion.
Whatever acts or omissions may have produ'
ced the unpleasant effect, il is too certain that the
pressure here continues 10 most injurious extent
and as the President deemed the original meas.
ure necessary which led to this result. we hope
that, in tn. plenitude of his power, (which ne
appears to exert without hesitation, when IN ms
opinion necessary to promote what he considers
TO be the general welfsre.) il he has any control
over the means OF furnishing relief to our citizens,
it will not be long delayed.-BaH Gaz
