THE CONVENTION. The Harris
burg "Keystonc,' in speaking of the Con
vention, uses the following complimentary
language to the Delegates. We know ma
extends, we join in the compliment to their
integrity and qualifications.
"In point of talent, industry, and expe-
rience, no assemblage in the state has ever
exceeded the reform convention now sitting
in this place. AS whole it is a body upon
which every citizen of Pennsylvania, may
look with pride and confidence. A short
attendance upon its deliberations, and sur
tey bf the many venerable individuals who
take a controlling lead in its proceedings,
will satisfy any one that the constitution in
such hands is safe, and that though the DEM
ocracy may not gain every thing desired,
still many valuable amendments may be
obtained. In the choice of delegates, the
people seem generally to have taken their
best men; and though selections were made
upon party grounds, and there were fewer
democrats returned than we could have
wished, yet since the organization, political
distinctions seem to be partially merged in
the common desire to perfect work which
may operate to the general benefit of society.
We believe there is am@ority in the con-
vention in favor of relofm, and that many
judicious amendments proposed by The de-
mocrats, will be sustained. AS our opponents
consist of three factions, the crafty leaders
among them, will find it extremely difficult,
ifnot impossible, to draw the reigns of party,
so az to secure parfy vote upon any con-
stitutional question. This being the case,
the democrats may be said to exercise con-
trolling power upon all matters where they
unite. At any rate it is but right that the
people should lookupon this body impartial
ly, that when its proceedings are submitted,
they may receive candid, unprcjudiced
consideration.

ii Remedy.-Ift the officers of the banks
would generally follow the patriotic example
set by the Middletown, Lebanon and Nor
thum0erland banks, ofpledging their private
fortunes for the discharge of all liabilities,
& if specie change were uniformly given for
fives, very little comparative inconvenience
would be suffered from the existing state of
affairs. Such measures would prevent the
issue OF small notes, restore confidence, cur
tail the circulation of bank paper, & speed
lily enable the banks to resume specie pay
ments.-I6id.

NEW-YORK.--Before the

NEW-YORK.--Before the adjournment
Of the Legislature last week, law was enac-
ted legalising the suspension ofspecie pay
mehts by the banks of that state for one year.
Ii we understand the operation of this law it
shuts out all hope of a general resumption
during the time it is in force, and advances
greatly that unsound condition of the curren-
cy which wrought such incalculable evils at
the close Of the late war. We agree with
the Metropolitan that if the banks do not re-
turn to specie within the time prescribed
by existing laws, it would be great public
benefit instead ofreyiving them, to allow
them to go quietly out of existence under the
operation of their own charters, & by their
own act, when their place would be instantly
supplied by safe system, free from mono
poly, in which private property would be
bound for all liabilities.-KeyStone.

Practical Economy.--The Canajaharie
Radii says, in allusion to Graham's lectures
on diet:--"Perhaps the Bostonians do not
know how much good living depends upon
faith! or how the old lady fattened her COW

by practising the deception of holding a
potatoe before her, and when she opened
her mouth in went the cob, keeping the
potatoe for the succeeding temptations"

Yesterday the Harrisburg and Lancaster
railroad was opened from MiddIetown to the
tunnel, which leaves but two miles and a
half to be passed over in stages between this
place and Philadelphia. This will shorten
the trip more than an hour, besides render
ing 1t much more agreeable than heretofore.
The citizens of Philadelphia should look
this way for summer recreation and amdse-
ment, as there is not in the United States, a
more pleasant and healthy town, surrounded
by pretter scenery, than Harrisburg. We
have also hotels equal to the best in the city,
which together with our Libraries, the debates
OF the convention, and the numerous rural
amusements of walking, riding, hunting,
fishing, &C., would enable transient yisiters
of all descriptions to pass their time here
very pleasantly.-Ib.
