SPECIE PAYMENTS.
The following article on this subject Is from
the Madisonian Of yesterday:
RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYNENrs.-lt affords
us sincere pleasure to state, that preparatory
measures have been taken, which can scarcely
fail to lead TO early resumption OF specie pay
ments, by the leading State Banks generally
throughout the Union.
We have seen u letter from a high source in
New York. which states that on the 18th inst the
officers Of the banks in that city unanimously re-
solved to respectfully invite the Banks IN the sew
cral States to meet on the 9th day Ut November
next in that city, confer on the time when sPc-
c;e paymcnts NAV be resumed with safety, and
with convenience to the community; and on the
measures necessary to accomplish successfully,
that desir,.5le aud important object The COM
was charged with the duty Of communicating the
rsoluti,n to tue banks in the several States. We
,e,rn these communications have already been
made.
There can hardly be doubt but the leading
banks in tho several States will accept the invita-
ton and heartily coossecnfc In Carrying INTO euecI
the object contemplated -,
We do not apprchcnd that the day winch Will
he fixed upon bv the Blnks for rcsuulns the pay
mcn,s Of specie will be later than the Isl OF Ma

next. That VIC think, will be the most invofao'e
period that can Lc selected. 1t would givc time
for the bulk Of the present years crop to have

frc,crs 10 nav tho storckcepcr; the storckcePcr
to pay the CITY j,bbcr, and the jobbcr TO pay the
banks 1t is the crops alone which can lead to a
General Humiliation Of debts and balances.
Thc FIXING a period for resumption will do
much. undoubtedly, thereafter, toward regulating
and cnualizng the domestic exchanges ot the
country. Necessary precautions and prudence
will obligc those dealing in the domestic exchan-
ges, to conduct ,hese founded on the Prescn'crops
on the same principles in anticipation OF rcsump-
ton Of specie payments, that they would, II
thew had actually taken place. -,
The mere act Of fixing day Tor rcsuming, will
have the most salutary influence IN restoring

made bv the banks 1t will lead to tho mmc Il
ate commencement and gradual preparation, on
the part Of the inks and the community, for the
event: and, consequently, the period will be
reached and passed over, without any effect, oth-
