be Of no possible use in such contest
We are unable to state the precise amount
thus carried off to the West, but it was
large, and was taken of at a critical juno
ture. But the prescription Of small bills
contributed still more 10 weaken our Banks
than even the Specie Circular. This, too,
we put to the account of the General Gov
eminent; for besides making it a party test,
and intoxicating it upon the State authorities,
the government refused TO employ as de-
post Bank any institution which should is
sue bills under the denomination Of So
The amount of specie taken out of the
Banks and kept out, by the prescription Of
small bills may be inferred from the fact,
that of such bills, on the first Of December
1894, the Banks in this State had in circu-
lation S3,730,S92 the whole circulation be-
ing then Sl6,732,0l4 AS the whole circo-
lation on the first of January last, was over
$22,000,000, the proportion of bills under

100000; or ten times the amount in New
York Consequently the universal pro.
scription of small bills would use up $50
100000 Of specie; and probably did in fact
absorb, at the time OF the suspension, $685.
100000 to S4OOOO,00O, or half the specie
in the nation. Now had this specie. or even
a moiety of it, been in the Bank vaults on
the first of May, there would have been no
suspension. Itwould have given confidence
to the public in the ability Of the Banks to
meet all demands in specie, and that would
have prevented the runs

From tie Democrat.

John Quincy Adams has denounced, in the
strongest and most decided terms, the interfer-
ence Of legislatures in favor of the banks who
suspend specie payments. The following are
his Words
"The unrestrained pursuit Of inordinate
wealth, and the abuse of credit, especially BY
the agency of the banks, are the proximate
causes of the catastrophe under which we are
now laborings believe National Bank,
chartered by Congress, with capital sufficient
to control all other existing banks and to regu-
late the currency, to be the only practicable ex-
pedient for restoring and maintaining specie
payments; but entertain doubt whether il
should be a bank of discount. With regard 10
this, my mind is not definitely made up. in
c'ine more strongly 10 the opinion, that the
suspension of specie payments by such bank,
should not only operate as an immediate for
feiture of its charter, but be made a penal Of
fence in the President and Directors in the in
stltution. The violation OF moral prncipe.
committed by bank in suspending specie pay
ments, Is, in my estimation, not inferior 10 that
OF FRAUDULENT bankruptcy in an individual. The
right of any Legislature to authorize such a sus-
pensiou-is questionable, and the repeal of laws
expressly enacted to enforce the iulilment of
contracts, at the very moment when they have
been broken, is a mockery Of all moral princi-
pie and scandal to human legislation"
COMMENT.
Thisis in the main ,goodWhig doctrine What
Is the practice offhe administration party. The
Van Buren, Legislatures of N. York, N. Hamp-
shire, Virginia, Alabama, Connecticut and some
other States have legalized the suspension of
the Banks, while as yet not one Wing State
has done ii 81 the Wing Governors have refused
TO do any thing which should countenance il.
What say you to that, o most consistent Dem
ocrat.

from Mr. Adams with appreciation; what will it
say to the following from the address of the
Albany Committee, the leaders of the great
Van Buren, party in NY. Speaking of the
law authorizing the suspension of the banks, the
address says, "This ,oise and sal.iary measure
was adopted not only as necessary protection
to these institutions, but for the more important
purpose of afording efficient relief to the whole

Our readers viii find in an article which we
publish this week under this head from the
journal of Commerce, an answer to the ques-
ton, "what agency had the government in
bringing about the present pecuniary pressure
Of the country'" II is long article, but will
repay any one for its perusal who tasks for in
formation on this subject. II is impossible for
any candid and intelligent man to review the
history of the currency measures of the admin

tom of all the pecuniary troubles of the country.

Destruction by Lightning, and Proriden-
tiat Preservafion.--We learn that the dwell
ing-house of Mr. John MeIendy, Of Guilford,
was struck by lightning during the shower of
the Oath ut. The fluid struck and shattered
the top Of the chimney in three several places,
melting the lead that was placed around it upon
the roof. From thence il appears that the flu
id separated and escaped in two drections.-
One portion following raiters to the kitchen
wall, raising the roof and throwing some of the
slate by which it was covered TO the distance of
twenty rods,-burst in the wall, glass and
plastering of the kitchen, making The room
perfect wreck. The other division Of the fluid
passed over the south front Of the house; and
from thence down the wall TO the front entry,
with similar destructive effects. The family,
five in number, some sitting in chairs, and some
reclining on bed in the southeast front room
escaped, as by a miracle, uninjured. The fluid
from the front entry must have escaped through
the front room where the family sat, the doors
Of which were open.
II is perhaps worthy of remark that mo-
ment before the shock those of the family who
were sitting had drawn up their feet and pla-
ced them on the rounds Of their several chairs,
in consequence of Mr. Melendy having that
remarked, that according to DR. Frank
Inns theory that was considered the safest po-
sition.

| ABoLITIoNIsTs AND THE ADMINISTRATION
Among all the inconsistencies Of the day, there
is nothing which has surprised us more thar
the conduct Of some Abolitionists. As whole
we believe there is not more conscientious
party on earth--and yet like all other associa-
tons of men there are some so careless, reckless
and inconsistent as to be at the same moment
pulling down with one hand, what they are at
tempting to build up with the other. They
set forth as the three great objects at which
they are now more Immediately aiming, the abb
clifton Of slavery in the District Of Columbia,
the resistance of the annexation Of Texas with
its slave laws into the confederacy, and the adj
mission of any new slave States into the Union.
Now it is certain that Mr. Van Buren, has SOL
EMMY pledged himself to veto any bill which
the Abolitionsts and Others may succeed in in
ducing Congress to pass for accomplishing the
first named object, and Mr. John Quincy Adj
ans, the great gun Of the Abolitionists in Con-
gress, declares it TO be his conviction that Mr.
Van Buren's pledge in regard to the District,
must be understood as extending also virtually
to bind him to go all lengths with the friends of
slavery in opposing the other objects at which
Abolitionists aim. Mr. Adams language is,
4" if the pledge of the inaugural address means
any thing more than soothing sound, IL
means that The maintenance and perpefuation
Of slavery in this Union, shall be the cARpI-
NAL POINT, THE POLAR STAR, Of Mr. Pan Blu
ren's administration
How then any conscientious abolitionist can
act with party which is pledged TO the sup
port of such an administration we cannot see.
In this County il is well known the party have
put up for Senator, one Of the rankest and
most violent opposers Of the Abolitonists
which we have among us,-a man who
has himself more than once threatened
to unite with mob, TO put down an Abo-
lition meeting. But we will not now enlarge
on this subject. We intend hereafter to show
that the opponents to the violent and unjustifi-
able measures adopted in Congress to repress
the right Of petition, were almost exclusively
Wings. Vermont and Massachusetts, then, as
they ever have done, stood shoulder to shout
der in defence Of the peoples rights. The DEL
egation Of Vermont, 10 man, went for the
freedom Of speech and of the press, the invio-
liable sanciity Of the mail, and the right of Pc
tition;-while the leading Van Buren, men from
New York, Pennsylvania and other States, sided
with the slave holders
The editor Of the Democrat, IL is well known,
l"ssies Mr. Van Buren, 10 his slavery pledge, and open
" advocates the admission OF slave States into the
Union, and upholds Ex-Governor Palmer OF this State

A BANK NOT OF DIscoUNr.--MrA Adams
is represented as having said on the occasion
of the cane. that he believed a National
Bank necessary part Of our financial ma
chinery, but had not yet made up his mind
whether it should be Bank Of discount
The Times we see joins MIR Adams on this
point, and avows its readiness for such a
Bank. There are probably good many
things in the world which we never saw or
heard Of We certainly never heard ofsuch
Bank. II would be somewhat like the gun
which the good mother was willing her SON
Billy should have which must not have
barrel, lock or stock. A Bank without
the power to discount, would be sure never
to "go off, SO as to kill any body or in fact
10 go at all. Ii would have the other two
properties Of Bank perhaps, viz. the right
10 receive deposits and issue paper TO circu.
late as money, but how either of these prop.
critics could be available without the power
to discount, we do not comprehend. A Bank
would not put forth its own paper without re.
ceiving some equivalent for it, but such ne
gocatlon would be discount 1t might re-
ceive deposits and keepthem until called for,
but having no power to use the money in
the mean time, the business would be an en-.
tire gratultous service, which nobody would
perform. Such a bank would be as essential
and useful in the regulation OF the currency,
as the immovcable blue Hills of granite,
which ennobe the distance around the resi-. !
dence of Mr. Adams, are now for the same
purpose If we comprehend the idea of Mr.
Adams. it is as prudent as if he had expires. |
sed his opinion in favor of the importance of
steamboats, to facilitate travelling, but had not
yet made up his mind whether such boats
should be allowed to use steam. The first
md indispensable requisite of Bank is the
power to discount, or in other words, to loan
money. Without this power it is no Bank
1t all.-N Y, Jour, Commerce.
