The New York merchants commend the
following TO the creature ofthe Globe:
1t seems that the Planters Bank OF Mis-
sssippi, at Natchez and the Agricultural
Bank at the same place, suspended specie
payments about two weeks ago. The first
suspension of the former "a heavy depositie
Bank) was upon Treasury draft.
From this it appears (says the National
Intelligencer) that the suspension OF specie
payments began in the South, and the first
when the Deposile Bank at Natchez.

has just purchased and is daily receiving from

that they have bought twenty-five or thirty
per cent cheaper than their neighbor, and no

assist in carrying on this species Of deception,
by taking the stand alternately TO exaggerate

On the 1iih day of January last, when
Mr.. EwING's resolution for resembling the
Treasury Order was discussing in the Sem
ate of the United States, Mr.. CLAY, in a
speech in support Of the resolution, made
the following remarks -
Scan any man persuade himself that
twenty-six districts, all independent States,
looking each one 10 its own interest, will
exercise such iorbearance as not to add
bank TO bank, and increase the paper circu-
lation within its own limits, till the country
will be involved in the danger of some
great calamity lgreatly fear il. When
or how II shall come, no one can exactly
loresee; but we can all imagine that il
there should occur a great failure, or a
great reduction in the price of the South
ern staple, or, (what is now actually threat
ened) general return of American stocks
which have been sent TO Europe on a ior-
elgn demand, from any cause, Of large a.
mount OF the specie in the United States,
the necessary consequence would be such a
run upon the banks as may cause gener-
al suspension OF specie payments, il not the
bankruptcy OF many of the banks. What
is their present condition.? Theyare with
out concert, cooperation, or mutual conf
dence. The moment there is great and
sudden demand, TO meet corresponding
demand abroad, there must ensue a gener-
al panic throughout the country. Each
bank being neces' arily unable 10 measure
the extent of the demand, will, OF course,
call on IFS own debtors, and the same thing,
for similar reason, taking place in all the
other banks, there will probably be gen.
eral sioppage oil payments and universal
bankruptcy. Was moi all this ioreseen ,
Was il moi ioretold2 Were gentleman not
warned, again and again, not to destroy
the only means on which we could with
safety rely?"

extract is taken, is published in the WASH
