RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS.

The Banks Of New Orleans have resolved re-
sumo specie payments the first Of January next.
This has been effected by the cooperation of the
U. s. Bank which institution will assist to protect
the New Orleans Banks from the effects of the
constant fluctuations in Exchanges to which they
are exposed in the absence ola National Bank.
AT meeting of the Presidents of the Banks of
New Orleans, held on Tuesday, the 18th of Sep
TENDER, it
Resolved, That the communication of the Pres-
dent of The Bank of the United States, at Philadel
phia, of the 9Th inst, offering to cooperate with
the banks of this City, in resuming their payments
in specie at an early day, and proering the cordial
assistance of tho Institution, in maintang thereaf
ter specie payments fully meet the views of the
Board Of Presidents of the Banks of New Orleans
and confirms their exalted opinion of the eng hen
ed and patriotic policy for which that Institution is
so justly distinguished.
We copy the following extract from Mr. Bddle's
letter to the New Orleans Committee. He says -
y (" The object of this bank for n year
past has been TO defer the resumption of specie
payments until il could be safe and general through
out the Union,-and for that purpose not 10 com.

States had reached TO their coming crops as
TO be sustained by them in resumption, either direct
ly or with the aid Of a short anticipation The
period fixed by your late convention adapted
for that purpose ; which this Bank has cndeavor-
ed to facilitate by two measures--hrst, by large
loans TO banks in those States where the difficulty
presumption was greatest (; and second, by advan-
ces to the Government whose disbursements are
spread manly over the South and West. To
these must be added the habitua la siness and is
sues of the Bank in those sections, which, combin-
ed with the extraneous issues just mentioned will
supply a demand on the northern atlantic cities Of
many millions furnished by this Bank alone besides
similar resources from other parts of the Union as
well as from Europe, and the great mass of claims
which your exports are already beginning to accu,
initiate there. New Orleans is in the midst of ,Il

Voted 'tThat the Trustees prefer their petition
to the next General Assembly of This State, for
distribution of the annual interest of the present
State School Fund, with its annual income as pro-
vded BY law, for the term Of five years, among the
Colleges, Acad emes and Grammar Schools OF this
State' y b5i.ti. iua f}5tHin9a g uta ef
Said board, ofTrustees' appointed me as their a.
gent to attend the General Assembly. l am in
formed that said Trustees are of an opinion that
if the interest of said school fund, with its annual
income, could be divided as aforesaid, it would a.
bout pay the teachers in the Colleges, Academies,
and Grammar Schools per annum. with the income
that some of said Colleges, Academies, and Gram
mar Schools now realize; and tina: said public
schools would be free so far to the customary
tuition. l shall be at Montpelier after the first
week of the session. Amy communications adj
dressed to me upon the foregoing subject will be
Thankfully received, and answered without delay if

GJ7For six months past HENRY CLAY, us a pros
pective candidate for the Presidency in 1910, has
received the constant abuse of The Tory papers
throu ghout the country; and it would be supposed
from their style Of treating him the robes Of
storiSm had indeed been torn from Nick Biddle
and put upon Henry Clay Of Kentucky, and that
the former had assumed the shape and disposition
ola man. But the Torres begin to be little
picious that they cannot make Mr. Clay the Wing
unless the Wings choose TO take him
and they have become peevish and
lrefu as children. 1t is indeed too bad that the
Wings should be so audacious 10 express pref
erences for different men, and not submit to the
dctation of any man; and 1t seems that the
feeling of independence ''bicd in the bone
with them, for so long ago as rs and '76, read
that there Were men who scorned dicration, and
chose to act as men, rather than become the mere
machines of 'pnssve obedience and non-resis-
tance,' like certain class of modern politicians,
whose principles secure to them, from similarity
TO those of their fathers, the cognomen of Tory.
And to see the Wings claiming and expressing tho
right to talk of more than man for a candidate
for the Presidency excites their woider-it is so
novel to them in contrast to what they witness in
their own party that if they escape the Mysteries
and do not actually go off at behoding little
independence and selfthinking and selEacting,
they may thank their stars. This tune submission
the edicts of one man, to a caba Of any sort,
betrays slavish weakness, and breeds tyranny.
But to treat the subject more seriously, the To-
ries mortified at their own POSITION. They have
taken it for granted it being their desire il should
thus be, tina, Mr. Clay would be the Wing candid
ate, and accordingly ,have fell upon him, and
poured upon his head oceans Of calumny, and Civ
en- him character in which hydra never appear
ed so frghtful, and held him up in The garb in which
they had clothed him mirror of Wing princi-
pies This nomination of the Tories for the VIII
was altogether voluntary-no act of the Wings as a
body had warranted the belief that Mr. Clay would
be their candidate more than other distinguished
demon straton in favor of Gen. Harrison, the To
ries have been forced to eat their cookery and
count their emissions of splenetic ardor much
ammunition thrown away; and we may expect soon
to hear them yolping-"Granny HARRISON "Pet-
ticoat Harrison" and such like characteristic cpl
thets. ss
1t there is any one principle or characteristic OF
| the Wing party which esteem above an other, il
is this manly Independence of thought and action
They acknowledge no dictator-no one man tell
them what they shall shall not do, but they
think and express their thoughts without fear of
political decapitation; and we expect to hear and
see considerable discussion about whom the, will
eventually unite upon their candidate to be sup
ported for the Presidency in 1910; and whoever he

THE CANADIAN EXILES.

Insconseguence Of the abrogaon by the Brit
ish Ministry of Lord Durham's ordinance, Mr..
Papneau and other Canadian cxiles remain al
liberty to return home.
Blythe act OF Amnesty, it is declared that no
further proceedings shall be held or taken against
any person or persons whomsoever, on account
of any High Treason Of offences Off reasonable
nature, with which they stand charged or where
they may be chargable; but that all proceedings
without exception or distinction, save as after
mentioned shall cease and determine; and all
persons in custody, charged with Treason, or
who have Withdrawn themselves from the prov
ince, shall, upon giving security, be at liberty to
return to their homes. But this giving security
relates TO all other persons, not to the persons in
cluded in the exception. .g
The exception relates TO those persons who
are provided for in tie ordinance which has
been annulled. The original treason, if any
was committed was by the ordinance as well as
by the act of Amnesty, pardoned; but it created
q ae,0 CRIME, by the notification of the ordnan-
ce, cannot be committed. The consequence is
that the proceedings to which the Amnesty re-
fers cannot be taken nor can any of the persons
alluded to be required to find security. Under
the first clause of that they are pardoned, if
any of them required pardon, They are there
fore all free to return to Canada. They can
commit no crime by their return, and any trea
son with which any of them were charged, or
chargeable, at the time of the Amnesty, cannot
be inquired into. t t,...,. s. ..3
Such seems clearly to be the predicament OF
Mr. Papineau and other Lower Canada exiles

A Lapofte county Qndiana) paper ofibe 18th ult
says that sickness prevails to an alarming extent
througho the whole northern part ofIndana, and
in fact, throughout Illinois and Michigan The
sickness is attributed the continued dry and sui
try weather. The brooks have fallen several inches
leaving on their margins Immense quantity of
vegetable matter TO decompose in. the sun, causing
masma sickness and death.
IL The columns of the Ncw-Engiand Newspa-
pers bear testimony to the fatality Of the West, TO
those who have gone there from New England
Almost every paper has some two three obituary
notices of persons lately died in the West, recent
iy from our States. If we can judge of our own
knowledge of those who have left New England
within five years one half Of them have died with
in that time. This is true among our acquaintance,
with those who have gone there, and that is no
small number. The West is becoming the char
mel house of the young men of New England, and
of others who go there, old and young.
