CoNFEssIoNs.-Slowly, and by degrees,
the Van Buren, Jackson organs begin to
admit, or confess, that with them an en-
tire metallic curreney-though they cup
ported it on every occasion with the ut
most pertinacity-never was a favorite
measure, So long as the effects of cur
rency mending did Pct disturb their bust
ness, or drain their pockets. they could
write and talk about the benefits and ad
yantages of a hard money currency, and
the monstrosiiy and worthlessness Of bank
rags, but when once the operation Of their
favorits scheme has palpable { fleet upon
their own interests, they bolt the course,
and declare, in the face of all former as
sertions that they have ever looked upon
an exclusive metallic currency as visionary
and chimerical.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGISLATURE
The legislature adjourned on Saturday
last. The mail of this morning brought
no newspapers, so that we are without ad
vices Of its concluding acts.
The Bank relief bill was passed. The
State loans to the Banks from her share OF
the Surplus revenue an amount equal to
that subscribed to the increase Of the
stock.
The bill TO authorize the issue of small
notes, was postponed by majority of One
Vote, 81 to 60. Thus our Assembly, in
its wisdom locks up the specie in the
Bank vaults, and refuses 10 substitute any
currency in its stead. The country mus,
suffer for want of change, or violate the
laws prescribing penalty for the circula-
ton of small bills. This will almost uni
versaIly be done. lfnot, no man can pay
for a pound of butter, meat, coffee or SUI
gar.
This majority Of one was aided from
quarter from which @e did not expect it

SLOAN and Nixon. Of Hampshire, voting
for the postponement. AS they, or those
who stood in their stead, were all beaten
last spring, we are almost inclined to think
that the vote was given, not for the good
OF their constituents, but as punishment,
for their contumacy at the April elections /;
and sorely will their constituents feel the

Gen. HAMILTON has addressed long let

He recommends as permanent cure, an

AS temporary remedy, he suggests
that the Banks olthe commercial cities de
