In Pottsyille the same course has been
adopted; and as will appear by an article
from the "Republican Farmer" similar
proceedings have been Instituted against
the Wilkesbarrc Bank. In one case in
Philadelphia against the United States Bank
lora $40 note, the defendants have appeal
ed from the judgment of the alderman; and
as no ground can be sustained against it.
we think it very strong evidence oft in
ability of that institution to meet its liabili-
ties. This course, on the part Of the pea
pie shows how futile every attempt proves,
the object of which, ON the part of monopo-
lists, Is either inliction of wrongs or depri-
vation of rights; and such course will
very soon bring matters into the proper
channel for correct navigation. Whv
should corporations have privileges, or ex-
cite sympathics, when individuals are cx-
pressly debarred from either under similar
circumstances! We would, with our neigh
Dor of the Farmer" advise every one to
whom specie is refused at the counter of the
Bank, TO procure the endorsement of the
President or Cashier, and thus not only
secure interest on the note, but place him
selin readiness to obtain the specie by le-
gal proceeding. IfTHE PEOPLE pursue this
Justlable course, THE BANKs must resume
specie payments; and the cry of pressure
and panic will never again be heard, on this
account, during the existence of their char
tiers. No Bank can be considered solvent
so long as ii violates its charter by refusing
to redeem its notes with specie; and where
holders of such notes obtain judgments,
they cannot be blamed for entering them of
record as liens upon the real estate of such
institutions; or for issuing execution, and
ordering the constable to levy upon the
mint drops" in satisfaction of the debt
Let the people act in this way, and the a.
bundance of specie will at once do away
the circulation of shin-plasters.
