We annex the remarks of the two Albany papers
respecting the BANK SUSPENSION Bill. BY private
accounts we learn that the fate Of the bill in any shape
is doubtful Still it may pass We may possibly
know today its ultimate destiny. Every days delay
putsit in jeopardy.
The Suspension Bill fingers in the House. 1t was
passed Though the committee OF the whole on Satur-
day evening, amended in several respects; but the
question not taken agreeing with the report OF
the committee. IL may yet undergo further amend
mcndments, or the amendments adoptedin committee
may be disagreed to in the house. If the amend
mens are persisted in, they may may not be agreed
to by the Senate. Still we cannot doubt the ultimate
passage OF the bill, without material amendment
How much soever we may regret the circumstances
which impel to legislative acton this subject, yet
all must feel the imperative necessity OF such nterpo
son as shall rescue the great pecunlary and business
interests OF the state from impending destruction.
The principal amendments adopted in committee
of the whole in the assembly, provide that the bills of
all the suspendlng banks shall be received by each
other at par in payment of debts and that no divi-
bank fund until specie payments shall be resumed.
The first of these amendments IS perhaps without OBJ
lection, if it be not applicable Gas some suppose it to
beg to balances between the banks: if it be open TO
such application no provision could be more unfortu
nate, if not unconstitutional
The proposition to allow the circulation of bank
notes Of the smaller denominations Zones, twos and
thfeeS during the period OF specie suspension, was
IeJecNu N the mouse on SATURDAY evening Dy Qecl-
slye vote-Argus Of Monday
THE BANK SUSPENSION BILL made but little pro-
gress in the Assembly on Saturday, and indeed the
signs ofthe times now seem to indicate that its fate is
doubtful. One or tive amendments to the Bill re-
ported from the senate, were made by the house in
committee of the whole but no question was taken as
to agreeing with the committee by the house.
One of the amendments agreed to in Committee
provided that the bills of all the suspendng banks
shall be received by each other at par in payment Of
debts; another prohibits any dividend of profits being
made or any assistance being received from the bank
fund, until speciepayments are resumed.
There doubtless may be objections to both of these
amendments, but we do not think they are of suf1i-
cient force to destroy the utility of the bill which
the situation Of the banks now requires should b.;
passed. and passed promptly.
An impression seemed to have gained ground with
many yesterday that The people were destined to be
disappointed this subject, and that this bill would
ultimately, in some way, be rejected by the legisla
ture This impression probably arose from the report
that Information from Washington showed that the
managers at head quarters were averse TO the mea-
sure and the letter of Mr.. Cambrelcng denouncing
the banks, gave force to the

"WHAr's IN THE WIND now f'-The "Courier"
yesterday undertakes 10 tell c. C.. Cambreeng N.
c. "planly that it designs Mreot but it would not
be prudent for him to visit Wall street for the present
or in other words, "if you, Cam, come into Wall
street, we will cowhde you--thrash you-perchance
kill you, and then stuff your skin for an exhibition
throughout the country"
We are no friend to Cam Like Alexander the tin
ker of Corinth who did much evil 10 ST. Paul. SO has
Cambreleng, the currency tinker of New York, done
much evil to st. Bennett Yet the idea of creating
riot-of assaulng little N. c. for his opinions, is
too preposteroas to be for moment entertained
If the Courier clique of madmen wish to convert Wall
street into a worse than Five Points-f they wish
TO erase it to the ground they are taking the right
method to bring about such catastrophe.
We trust and hope, that, if the corrupt bankers IN
that horoughfare, who have cheated the people so
neatly have yet any influence over their own prints,
they will restrain them from creating insurrectisn
and tumalt in this city. In the event of any emeute,
we can tell them that the great body Of the people,
smartng under the specie suspension fraud, would
first march upon Wall street, and perpetrate most
summary process OF publication.
We trust, we beg, we entreat the merchants to for
bearance. Do not follow the insane rawlings of the
Courier e. Enquirer. Such council will lead to no
thing but mischief The long credit and rotten bank
ing systems have exploded by their own weight
We will yet have better times. Do not rush into in
surrectsn, bloodshed and organic revolution. II
would ruin all.
