The depositcs were
$ll,62O,OOO

2,36O,OOO

To meet the above he had specie, 49,
100000. Two millions of specie to re-
deem eleven millions of circulation and
deposites! Yettho manager Of this bank
talks Of its having been able to have con-
tinued specie payments-to have supplied
Government, the land Offices, and the for
oign demand, with bullion! Who will not
smile at the effrontery, not to say knave-
ry, which could attempt to play off such
imposture on the American people?
1t is true that the statement of the lst
of March presented about half million
moro specie, the other items remaining
about the same. This addition of specie
had been obtained by drafts, in February,
on the New York banks. Suppose that
the bank was in a good situation on the
day when the letter was dated, (from
which We take the preceding extracts
what are such means towards accomplish
ing all Mr.. Biddle's boasts? One drop to
supply the reAux Of the tide of the ocean?
But it was not in as good a condition.
Authentic accounts state that its specie,
on the day on which it suspended pny-
ment, did not exceed altogether on mil
lion and a quarter. We are also assured
that there was at hand upon the spot de-
mands, which would have been presented
Immediately, sufficient to have swept its
vaults before the close Of bank hours. A
letterfrom distinguished gentleman says,
that there was demand for moro than a
million and quarter on the steps of the
bank, when it closed.
To, give some idea to the public of the
rapidity with which Mr.. Biddle's bank has
gone down unier its corruptly acquired
charter, and consequent.lOss Of character
and confidence with the spxlGic, we refer
to the return of its circulation upon it,
acknowledged in its reports. On the goth
February, 1886, Mr.. Biddle Gas we have
heretofore mentioned) congratulated the
stockholders of the new bank upon its en-
ioyng an inheritance from the old bank,
of a circulation Of tpeaty-two millions
of dollars. On the first of April follow
ing, Give weeks after,l that inheritance
was reducedto eighteen millions! 1t con-
tinaed regularly to decrease throughout
the year, until on the first of February,
1887, Zone year thereafter only) it was
reduced to little over nine millions; or a
total disappearance Of fourteen millions
of this boasted inheritaace t----in one
year! ssa If -ee
Mr.. Biddle has double game to play.
While he is endeavoring to gull the Amer
lean people with the hope Of succeeding
in obtaining charter under delusive sug-
gestions, and by holding out false hopes
to the suffering, he looks to his foreign
constituents and creditors on the other
side of the water with fear and trembling.
1t is estimated that fully fourteen mil
lions OF dollars of the stock of Mr.. Biddle's
bank is held abroad. Then there is the
forced loan Of Mr.. Cashier Jaudon Of

"The purser Of the Navy Yard, Bf6oiis:

pay of the workmen. as they refused. the
pet bank, and any thing but specie."--
.Wew York Star.
The above, from Mr.. Breeches Pocket
Noah, Mr.. Biddle's friend. is another il.
lustration of the similarity of character of
the present opposition with that in the
late war. Then, as the Government be.
came embarrassed by the neglect, failure
and faults of others, the opposition re :
joiced. Then. as their own country was
defeated or unfortunate, the opposition
exulted and increased. Then as cur ma.
,ional prospects frightened. those Of the
opposition grew dim--as the former rose,
the latter fell. e~ att ~ sa}
The above assertion of the bank advo.
cate as to the purser at Brooklyn, we TN
derstand, is Incorrect; but if be true that
the workmen are unwilling to take the
pet bank notes of the Government, like
manyof the merchants who are stock.

Mn. EDITon:-Bcing at Akron, in this
county, last Saturday, | observed the fol-
lowing curious, and somewhat startling
call for a meeting gpostedup in the streets;
"OUR sUFFERINos ARE 100 INToLER-
ABLE TO BE RNE.-Van Buren,.
"WHEN THE WICKED RULE, TIE PEo-

ga meeting of the citizens of Akron
will be held Mt the Methodist chapel on
Saturday evening, 9th inst, at o'clock
P. M. to devise ways and means to ale
vialc our grievances.
"OUR COUNTRY CALLS"
Prompted by curiosity, in the evening,
| took the arm Of friend and walked up
to the meeting. Quite respectable au-
dience had assembled, all waiting for
movement by some of the wire-workers.
All appeared to have come there through
the same motive as myself. Atlength a
a chairman was appointed who took his
scat. Some difficulty occurred in getting
q Secretary for the meeting, and alter
quite number having been nominated,
who as often declined the honor, the
Chairman arose in his place, and in
strong and pointed language, portrayed
the present dcplorable condition of the
country-recounted our wrongs and griev-
ances in manner that would almost draw
tears from the adamantc--called upon the
people to come forward and right their
wrongs--bu; all to no purpose; the leth-
argic citizens of Akron would not be
made to believe that they were ruined.
Another attempt was now made to ap-
point Secretary, but with no better sue
cess. The meeting seemed tob lost to
all sense of wrong. Another speech
was made--the gentleman said that he
had been instrumental in getting up tho
meeting, and he felt really agricved that
tho people cured SO little for their welfare
--he told them that they were ruined past
redemption---that the measures OF the ex-
ccutive had ruined the country and that

argy and want of energy in these trying
times conjured them to come forward to
the rescue of their bleeding country-he
said that he had been u friend to the late
and present administration, but he now
foreswore them forever. The gentleman
took his scat evidently relieved of q heavy
burden. A motion was then made by a
gentleman present, that the gentleman
last up be permitted to withdraw from the
democratic party. The mover said he
offered this motion to releavo the gentle
man from his embarrassing situation
