THE NEW TRIUMyIRATE.

II is said when CERTAIN folks fall out )" that ho-
nest men obtain their rights but what shall be said
of those, who from having always been Ishmaeltes
towards each other, have now become band of bro
Tiers? What shall be said OF the triumvirate of De-
mocracy, Modification and Whigism--the Globe, the
Reformer, and the senior of the Richmond Wing?
II must be extraordinary indeed, that should
SO have reconcied the natural instinct of hatred and
enmity, as to have called forth mutual courtesy
and compliments where there existed before nothing
but mutual elimination and curses Is it entirely to
be attributed to the patriotism of the triumvirate,
that this "era Of good feelings" should have been
brought about for the support of measure denoun-
ced by the Globe as dsorganizing and revolutiona
ry" stigmatized by the masterspirt of the Reform
err as far less safe, convenient, economical, &c"
and certainly not calculated by the dead reckoning"
of the senior editor of the Whg to be directly in
the route of patriotism, as London was the way
to Buenos Ayres7"
II the honest obtain their rights when certain
folks fall out, what are the honest to expect when
those who have been calling each other names all
their political lives at length agree, combine,
lesce and form holy alliance political triumvi-
rate But which is the Cesar, Pompey or Crassus,
remains to be known.

THE ANCIENT ARROW HEAD.

Nothing has been more gratifying to us
than to observe as well the tone of the adj
ministration journals as the expression Of
many Of the democrctic meetings in Massa-
chusetts. If New England is the land of
general principles" it is also the land where
those principles are practically understood
and illustrated. There is not portion Of the
democracy in any part Of the Union more
devoted to the ancient doctrines Of its creed;
and as none have had occasion to conteLd,
face to face, with federalism, with more ener-
gy and activity than they, SO none understand
the true democratic position better. The
democracy Of that State are clear in their un-
ders,andings, sincere in their professions, and
fearless and patriotic in their conduct. Free
dom Of conscience, and freedom Of discus
sion, the cardinal principles Of the republican
creed, are clearly understood, resolutely
maintained, and thoroughly and literally
practised. You see no such politicians as we
have recently been doomed to meet, loudly
protesting democracy with their lips, while
their hearts are OVERLOOKING with bitterness
and tyranny. A mere difference of opinion
upon matters Of doubtful expediency neither
creates discord in families. nor malignant and
hostile divisions in parties, in which they are
entertained
The administration papers are discussing

CORRESPONDENCE.
PETERsBURa, Oct. 30, 1887


agree with you that it is important, day be fixed
on which the banks will return to cash payments. 1t
will be anchor in this of doubts and embar
easements On any topic connected with the curren-
cy of country is important that the public mind
be relieved of uncertainty and its attendant ills. To
fix and settle the public opinion is small ingre
dient in the financial resources of State But the
banks which shall be represented in the proposed
Convention, should act with great circumspection
and the most mature deliberati IN. Too rapid
trenchment of their circulation with the view of
Stunning cash payments, would produce very great
distress.
The banks that will not attend the proposed Con-
vention should not be censured by the friends of
those which are willing and intend TO attend. Many
of them are sensible ofther inability TO resume cash
payments. Many of them will never be able TO de-
monstraie thus, that they have been well managed.
Do not upbraid them for not acting with those which
are willing to fix the day. OF this number, most
probably Biddle's bank" is one.
But sir, do not desire to proceed to farther and
full development of my opinions on this subject
This much, however, desire to add: the best thing
that can be done to secure resumption of cash
payments is for the Legislatures of the States to fix
the period which nearly all Of the existing banks
shall bring their transactions to close; not with
view of diminishing the banking capital Of the
States, but for the purpose of concentrating the
money power in one similar institution subjected to
the proper restrictions upon its management ] can
not believe that the devouty desired return to cash
payments will ever betide the existing banks III
Der unreduced. The most efectual and only method
of securing return, within short perod) to cash
payments is to reduce the number ofthe banks. Be-
lieve me, this is the necessary step to be taken The
sooner, the better Thus concentrate the banking
capital Of each State and the notes of State Banks
will soon have as extended circulation as those Of
the United States Bank ever enjoyed. The true
practical test Of the goodness of hank note, is its
convertibility into coin. Many Of the State Banks
whose notes have circulated out Of the neigh
borhood in which they were issued have always
kept on hand larger fund Of coin, than was ever
kept by the United States Bank, whose notes were as
good as gold every where. Why has this been so
Why have the notes Of the United States Bank, hav-
ing less capacity to Withstand the true test found
credit and currency every where, while the notes Oh
the State Banks having more capacity to Withstand
the true test have never found credit and currency
beyond their neighborhoodl II is so, and only be-
cause there are so many State Banks that the people
cannot learn even their names, much less become
familiar with their issues, which is necessary to in
spire confidence. "

The preparations for the proposed Conven-
ton, we are grati6ed to observe, are going
forward with alacrify and encouraging proml,-
titude. Every patriot must feel deeply inter
estedin the accomplishments the very praise
worthy and vital object for which this move
ment is made. We hope that every bank in
the country, that regards its own honor and
welfare, or the good Of the community, will
make it a point to be represented in the Con-
vention. If they manifest an indifference in
regard to the object sought, the loss will be
their own and the lightning Of public indig-
nation will deservedly fall upon their heads.
The Boston Daily Advertiser states that
the proposition has been cordially acceded to
by the associated banks Of that city, and that
they will take measures to be represented in
the Convention.
We are glad to see, also, a movement in
Maine for the same purpose. The Maine
Bank, and the Cumberland Bank, have issued
a notice to the Banks Of the State, of "a
meeting Of the Directors Of such Banks as
may wish to cooperate in fixing on time for
the resumption Of specie payments" to be
held at Portland, on the 18th inst.
In regard to this Convention, we say with
Franklin that, "We oughtto haze but one opin-
ion; the good Of our country requires that the
resolution be unanimous"

stroy all banks, but il is to establish the ma
chinery preparatory to war upon civiliza-

deed Of injustice, beside which, in its
ultimate and fatal consequences upon our
selves and mankind, the greatest excuses
Of regal and military powers. the tyranny Of
Nero, the pride Of Louis XIV, the ambition
of Napoleon, the invasions Of RUSSIA, the
war in Spain, are but as slight and transient
evils."t And we will venture to predict, that
if the system should unfortunately be estab-
lished, the prophecy Of Mr.. Tallmadge viii
be fully and fatally realised.
