This vas, sum will be increased the first Of Oc-
tober about 81, 100000, that on the termination Of
the days of grace granted by the government in its
wisdom last May, twenty millions Of money will be
due. BY whom is this money due? BY prosperous
mercantile community? No. By paralyzed, hall
ruined, timd and embarrassed class Of importers
who, since May last have scarcely been able to keep
life and body together, who have been the sport Of
unlucky winds, who have been driven hither and
thher, and who if the rgor of the law be put in
force against them, must, body, sink beneath the
weight of the burden and be crushed to the EARTH Is
it then the part of wisdom in the President to recon-
mend prompt payment of these suspended bonds?
Will ne be guilty Of SO manifest violation of the
rights Of the importing class such recommends
ton would necessarily involve him in? think not.
l hope not.
| But would no other fatal consequences h)w from
| the adoption of such measure, than the absolute
ruin of the importing class? Will the operation OF
the scheme stop here? Assuredly not. 1t will ex-
tend its influences into all classes of society. 1t will
affect the very existence of the government ITSELF
Already the administration, by folly, political over
sight and zeal for the landed interests finds itself in
most crippled condition. The public moneys al
most valueless. They in the hands of institutions
that have ceased the exercise of even the common
principles of honesty. The receipts of revenue for
the last three months have scarcely suficed to pay
| the collection Of them. And in the midst Of these
difficulties the trading community-not the consum-
ers-owe the government twenty millions Of money
rigorous exacon of this will ruin the debtor

honesty than the present deprayed state ofcom-
mercia integrity may have already carried hm-de-
grade ofustce by the trial fcauses which
equity will have share-alienate the affections of
the sue and their circle of friends from the nsti
tutons their country-render them heartless in turn
to those who may be bound to them in the bonds of
dcbt-prove positive loss to the government of more
than half the amount sued fsr-and in fine, break up
the bonds of society and men upon each other MS
the fierce tigers of the forest My belief is that Mr.
Van Buren will debate long before he consents to
measure of this kind. If he recommend a rigorous
collection of the bonds shall consider the proverb
verifed-"Whom the Gods destine for destruction,
they first drive mad"
The Madisonian is out this morning in feeble art
Gle defending the state banks and their connection
with the government wonder at this as the SUBJ
ject is rich in strong argument and strengthened by
the long practice of the past Mr.. Van Buren, is be-
praised for his invention of the safety fund system in
the most fulsome style. 0 rempora!
Should the dsconnecton of Bank and State hap
pen to be adopted as the policy of the government
look for a tremendous blow up among your western
safety fund banks. Nothing will save them but the
putting off Of the payment of the bonds SO as to give
your city banks breathing SPELL and render unnc-
