THE TREASURY CIRCULAR.

Well. we have Gcrreted ont Circular, first in
troduced TO the public attention by cOrrespon-
dent the Baltimore Patriot Here it Isl taken
from the official paper OF yesterday.
1.-THE Circular was published in the Gazette
Of Saturday last.
This, the reader will perceive, exactly and
identically confirms all that part of the repre-
sentation of the correspondent of the Patriot
which relates to the payment OF warrants, and
the cashng of drafts on the Government at the
Land Offices, thus making each Land Office,
ouoad hoe, a B ank! SO the Government not
only nuts down one Bank by its VETO, but es.
tablishes batch of them at once by its sic jubeO.
The Circular, as far as it goes. is clear con-
fession Of the utter failure of the "Experiment"
as measure Of finance. Ii is an open confess
sion that the State Banks are not competent to
perform the duties for the Government which
have been so advantageously discharged by the
Bank of the U. S.
This Circular, as published, (there may be
another) does not make the checks of disburs-
ing Offices receivable at the Land Offices.
There is no doubt, however, of their being SO
receivable by what authority We shall know
soon after Congress meets. The fact that they
do circulate, because placed on that footing (of
being Land Office money! is certain There
are such checks issued by agents on the Cum
berland Road for amounts less than dollar;
and one of those very che cks, as curiOsi-
ty, is in possession of a gentleman now in this
city.
Such are the consequences Of tampering with
the best currency (lor such We had) that any
nation in the world (of any considerable extent
or population) ever possessed.-Nat Int.

Gcnilemen:-I have duly received your oblg.
ing letter, dated yesterday inviting me to pub.
lie dinner, at Capt. II. Bridges Hotel in Paris
on nv way to the eastward 1t is true tina,
shall pass through Paris in day or two, and no
where could | enjoy more satisfaction at such
festival, for no where shall find better friends
or better principles; but, gentlemen, as my tar
nv in Paris will be short, and am anxious 10
avail myself of the Indian summer now pre-
vailing, to prosecute the long journey before
me, hope you will attribute to the right motives
the necessity l feel myself under of declining
the acceptance Of your invitation.
| concur entirely with you, gentlemen, in the
business of the distinction between an attach.
ment to principles and an attachment to men.
And the testimony which you are pleased 10
render in my behalf is more highly esteemedby
me, because you place it on the ground ofpub.
lie principles and public services.
believe with you, that the present contest in
the U. States is one against power in behalf Of
the liberties of the country. | will add an eY
pression of my conviction that il involves also
the existence both of the constitution and the
union of the States. The inequality of the con.
dition of the parties to this contest, in the par-
cuars mentioned by you, is very great; bul the
goodness Of the cause Of the Wings should ST.
mulate their energy and perseverance NOT
should they be discouraged by occasional or
local defeats. The tories in England have
sometimes maintained the ascendency for long
periods of time. And history demonstrates
that, although scylla, Marius, Caesar, Cromwell,
Napoleon. and the whole tribe of military h.
roes had trampled upon the liberties ofthe peo-
pie, and, under the forms Of law, had long
violated all law, they respectively, in the emo,
received what they merited, the execratlons OF
mankind. The virtues of our Chief Magistrate,
which should make him an exception from me
fate Of his class, are yet to be developed

SAVINGS BANK.

Mr.. EpIroR 81 dcsire to know whether there
mated SAVINGS BANK there is no visible
| sign Of the existence Of such Bank ut leas
that have discovered. In every other othe
town where a Savings Bank is situated, any per-
son with haitian eye can see some ir-J' SIGN
denoting the locality of it, upd by that means per
hnps many are reminded to lay up moety o
their hard earnings in such place of security; ant
where, among other inducements held out, "a very
important one is, that the fund 70 deposited will
constantly accumulate interest. But il the people
do not know TINT there is an institution Of the
kind, we cannot expect them to make any exer-
ton to benefit themselves thereby. cannot leave
this subject without offering few remarks con-
cerning the advantages derivube from these in
s.ituons.
How strange it is that people in moderate cir
cunstanccs, do not, instead of wasting their mon
ey upon frivolous objects, be little more prudent
in their calculations. Ifevery person Of this do.
scrpon would study economy in the management
oi his affairs, and endeavor TO have surplus fund
at the end of each month to deposit in the Savings
Bank, who will pretend to estimate the benefits tc
be derived from fund so created s. continually ir
creasing by drawing interest! What n source r on
which might be abstracted wherewithal to mi,
gate the effects Of sudden calamity, or indeed O
any Of the numerous Affections which human flcst
is heir to, arising from unforeseen circumstances
and liable to beial all sojourners in this vale Of sor
row. Poor Richard says-
For age and want save while Won NAV.
No morning sun lasts u whole day.
TO what better purpose can the Phianhropist de-
vote portion Of his attention than 10 urge on the
minds Of the inprovident the absolute necessity Of
having seasonabIe care for their own welfare
and Of all that are dependent upon them for sup.
port.
In performing this duty there is no occasion
Whatever, of fostering those rancorous feelings,
which attend the operations Of some Philanthyo-
p'ss OF the present day. His object would lie
benevolent in seeking to warn the improvident Of
all classes, whether they do business on the great
deep or on the land of the prospective danger L.
rising from the heedlessness Of their conduct. A
becoming zeal munifestedn in this cause cannot fail
ofbeing productive of immense usefulness in com
monlty ;and moreover his exertions should be un-
censing to make every one feel the importance Of
laying up something for a "r rainy day." BY this
course he will have performed a heavenly duty to-
wards bis fellow mor,aIs, and will reap tho rich
reward ofhis labors in tho cheering consolation
Of an approving conscience. A.
