Il is cheering to observe the manly and independent
spirit manifested by the Democratic Journals throughout
State with the exception Of four five papers, which
seem determined TO urge their ultra doctrines upon the
community, regardless Of principle policy The press
is strongly aayed against the wild dognas that have

which they have put forth correspond with those
tanned by ninetenhs Of the Democracy Of this State.
The only true to preserve the party from shipwreck
is TO separate from all alliances with radicalism and To-

specie currency is the only constitutional remedy for pre-

Arthur Tappan failed yesterday,
says the Correspondent of the Intelli-

IS said to be worth half million clear;
but if man is worth ten millions in
these times, and even has million in
deposlte, say in New Orleans, he must
fail IN New York, if he owes $4,000
only, which he cannot get here in mo-
ney. The entire breaking up of our
domestic exchanges, which the depos-
lite banks cannot transact, puts every
merchant at the disposal of chance. Mfr.
Tappan has made good fight, but he
is at last tumbled down by the ,whirl-

failure will drag down others.
