MEssRs EDrToRs:-Short settlements make
long friends; so have drawn off an account
which has been run up in the last few years, and
as the affairs Of the debtor seem, to be- "a good
deal embarrassed, think it had better be closed
without delay. This account was opened in
1929, in Virginia currency, but since last April,
the debtor has refused to pay any thing but
notes of the Glory Bank, or Western Lands, or
drafts on the Postmaster General. These notes
and drafts bear a heavy discount already, and
if we don't get something more substantial, they
will depreciate, till like the old folks of the re-
voluton, we shall have to give FL 900 for break

We regret to see the manner in which the
Hon. Mr. Parkes was received at Bangor, in
Maine. 1t was impolitic well as unjust. In
suit and injury to representative Is not the best
way to conciIiate his constituents who esteem
him. and convince either him or them, that he
has not voted as perhaps he ought to have done.
They are bad arguments and make many
support a cause which otherwise they might
abandon And no man Of the Jackson party
could have been selected, less meriting the con.
tumey of the people than MIR. Parkes. He was
a Jackson man but by nomeans justified all the
acts ofthe administration. He supported many

kenly a choice III auis. Hh"n a M - h."

Young Men has been of late agtated in several

plan proposed is this; to call Convention of

in the Union, to assemble at Washington or Bal
timsre, either late in the fall or early next spring,
for the purpose. not of agitating the question OF
the next Presidency, but of uniting that impor-

which shall bind them together, and call out up
