caution, prudence, and foresight, The

exact impossibilities; and let us keep
them in the wrong, and commit our
selves by no overt act, till we find that
the laws of self-preservation compel US
to forcible resistance. We are aaoat

After an attempt by Mr.. ADAMS and Mr..
JosBLyN, friends of the Administration to
justify their measures, the following resolu-
tons were offered by Mr.Apbor LAWRENCE,
and adopted:
''Resolved, That this meeting recommend
to the Postmaster Of this city the postpone
mcnt Of the execution of the order from the
Department ofthe General Post Office, re-
curing individuals to pay specie for letters
on the delivery of the same, until he can hear
from the Department.
"Resolved, That the consideration of the
Report and Resolutions submitted this morn
ing be postponed until Saturday, the 9th IN
slant, at A O'Clock in the afternoon: ard that,
in the mean time, they be committed to a
committee of twenty -f6ur, consisting of the
committee who reported them, and fifteen O.
Their gentlemen"
The meeting was then adjourned to meet
at the same place on Saturday, the 9th inst.
at o'clock in the afternoon. The report of
the committee will then be submitted.

CUMBERLAND, MAY 20, 1887.

Immediately on the receipt of the in
formation on Saturday last, Of the sus-
pension Of specie payments by the cas-
tern and northern Banks, the Cum
berland Bank of Allegheny" adopted
the same measure. The Mineral
Bank, however, continued to redeem
its notes in specie during Saturday and
Monday, but on Tuesday also declined
further specie payments. We are
glad to add, however, that the course
adopted by our banks is approved by
the community generally. There ex-
lists no distrust Of their solvency or a.
bility to redeem their issues. Their
notes pass as currently with us now, as
before the suspension of specie pay
ment. A great difficulty is, the pro-
curement Of small change. But this
difficulty, we are told, will in measure
be relieved, in the course Of a few days,
by arrangements about being made by
the Cumberland Bank of Allegheny.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES FROM
TWO JACKSON SENATOR'S.

Senator WALKER, we are authorised to
say, remarked few days ago, that Congress,
during the very first fortnight of its next SEES
sion, would set the public mind at rest in re-
gard to the preposterous Specie projects that
have so long agitated it. He added, that he
honestly believed there were but three men in
the nation who considered those projects
practicable-and those three were Mr. Ben
ton, Senator Morris, of Ohio, and Gen. jack
son.
We are further authorized to state that Sc
nator NICHOLAS, of Louisiana, on his return
from Washington city. declared. that, if Mr.
VAN buren, should delay the repeal of the
Treasury Circular until the next session of
Congress, his administration would be GER
tainly and utterly broken down. Senator
NICHOLAS further stated, at the same time,
that he regarded the pocketing Of the Treas
ury Circular bill by President JACKSON, after
its passage by such an overwhelming major
ity through both houses of Congress, as the
grossest act of usurpation ever perpetrated by
any President of the United States.-Louis-
vile Journal.

By the latest arrivals from England it is
stated that no improvements in the money
market have taken place. Remittances in
specie are anxiously looked for from the U.
States The almost universal suspension. of
specie payments by our banks, will, doubtless,
cause them to look in vain.
