From the National Intelligancor.

The opinion gains ground that, ia this
absor,ion of money by the Government,
there turks great danger to The whole cir.
culatins medium ofthe country, and con-
sequen,ly to every branch Of trade and
commerce, not to speak Of the effect Of an
explosion upon the yaIue ofeyery descnp-
ton Of property. The opinion is uniyer-
sal, we suppose, that the amount nominal
ly in the Treasury is every way less
safe where it is than it would have been
but for the violent removal of the depos-
ties from the safe vaults of the Bank ofthe
United States into those Of the Deposite
Banks. 1t is very obviously in the pow
er of the Executive now, il the same dis
position existed in that quarter towards
the Deposite Banks as did towards ,ln
Bank ofthe United States, to spread, with
a very few strokes Of the pen, universa,
bankruptcy over all this league Of Depos-
ite Banks. VIVA, further it's in The pow
