, fuenced doubtless by their ancient pecu-
MARY relations with Mr. Biddle, conn mend il
Mr.. Biddle's letter will not have the ef
feet he intended. The New York bank.
will resume the payment Of their notes with
out asking Mr.. Biddle's leave, and if he
does not follow their example he must bear
the consequences. Bankrupt now, his hank
will then be insolyent. His letter is indeed
regarded by many as pitable confession oi
insolvency. It is inferred that, unable to
resume payment himself, he is intriguing 10
divide the shame and modification Of his
failure with others, and to keep himself in
rountenance by procuring companions in
disgrace.
We have alluded to the misstatenent in
Mr.. Biddle's letter. One Of them is the as
sertion that New York owes PHILADELPHIA
Ten Millions of Dollars. If this be true
how happens it that the notes of Mr.. Bid
dies bank are at from three and a quarter
to four per cent below par in this market Z
If we owed Philadelphia so much, these
notes would be greedly sought for, and the
rate of exchange would be in favor of Phil
adelphia, instead of against it.
He represents the administration TO be
in favor of an exclusive metallic currency.
This is an old falsehood, mouIdy with
age, and stamped with its true name times
without number.
lie affirms that the administration is on
the watch to break and destroy the banks
which may resume specie payments. There
never was an assertion more grossly untrue.
The return to specie payments is what the
administration most earnestly desire.
There are various other gross mistate-
ments in Mr.. Biddle's letter, but we beg
the attention of our readers to the docu-
ment itself which will be found in our
all, we would bespeak
their special consideration for the decara-
ton of war, which at the head of the banks
that follow in his train, he publishes against
the egovernment-declaring that this is
contest between the credit system and the
metallic system--a war to the death-a
contest in which one or the other must fall
"a contest in which the banks can prove
victorious only by steadily refusing to fulfil
their engagements till the government are
compelled to yield.

COMMENTS ON MIR. BIDDLE'S
LETTER
From the Philadelphia Public Ledge,

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
He begins with an ardent appeal 10 po-
litical prejudices, and here he displays his
knowledge of those foe whom the letter is
intended. Knowing that every merchant
who finds the least difficulty in meeting his
engagements, nscribes it TO MIR. Van Burcn,
and expects a return of the golden age up
on the election of somebody else to the
Presidency, Mr.. Biddle is confident of com
mandng implicit belief among his mercnn-
tile renders, by vigorous attack upon the
Federal administration. lie knows his
men knows by what shallow prctences
such shallow thinkers can he caught, and
he very adroitly makes them his own at the
beginning, by appealing to their prejudIces.
We have often smiled when thinking of the
profound respect which he must entertain
for those whom he can castigate or coax ut
pleasure, and find them ms submissive un-
der the one as they are delighted with the
other.
Before we notice any Of his positions, we
would ask what can be his uIterior object
Such men as Mr. Biddle do not address
such men as Mr.. Adams, for the purpose
of making an impression upon the public
mind at an important crisis, without some
important object; and when they begin by
to passions and preJudices, the
real object is not always Ostensi6te. Men
of gtcat abilities rarely throw away their ef-
fcrts upon t:ifies and when entertaining 10
great respect for the tools with which they
work, they seldom disclose to such tools
their plans. A consummatc general does
not make coniidan,s of the corporals and
common soldiers, and instruct them in the
plan of the campaign. Arguing from Mr..
Biddlc's acknowledged ability, and the
character of his appeal to his instruments,
we take it for granted that he has some
great point at stake, which would be lost
by a resumption of specie payments. What
is it? We will offer conjecture. The
Bank of the United States is specializing
extensively in cotton. For this purpose, ii
is deeply concerned with some of the south
ern and southwestern banks, and in con-
junction with them, is using every thing in
the shape of money that can be used, ex-
ccpiiug its own notes. II hus largely issued
the notes Of the Old National Bank, rs we
are informed, for the purchase of cotton
and it thus has an extensive circulation in
fact, while its astersibie circulation, or ,ha,
of its own notes, does not greatly exceed its
specie. The southern and southwestern
hanks are making heavy advances upon
cotton, and therefore issuing their notes ex-
iensively. The United States Bank has
undertaken 10 susidin Mrm in these operd-
tions, in consideration Of sharing in The
profits ofthe speeuidtions and By their u
nitsd Efforts, they erpeet 70 moaopoiize hs
rhoic crop.
But this speculation Tonid be efeefuoly
checked by a resumption of specie payments.
The southern and southwestern banks
could make no more advances upon cotton (;
aud should they, on resumption, be run
upon, an event not improbable when we
consider that the issue upon cotton has
been extensive, the United States Bank

AR was snltry, and bore heavily the odoi
OF night blossoms on It's wing. She leaned
from the easement: the blossoms looked
silyery soft in the moons rays. Her tear,
gushed forth, for she felt forsaken and she
knew that The world would point to her ia
derision. She heard a moan, deep, wild
and piteous, like that with which Henry
had greeted her, when she had sought him
with loves true confidence. Oh, heaven
was this the meeting on which her thoughts
had dwelt with such dreams Of hope and
tenderness : Why had she fancied thai
his arms could have cnfolded and support
ed her? Her brain grew dizzy, and she
leaned once more from the window. Again
that groaning shrek met her ear, more wild
and fearful than before, and straining her
sight TO the remotest part of the garden, she
saw Henry, with frantic gesticuIations, en-
bracing n grassy mound. The truth flash
ed upon her,-he had sought the grave Of
Isabel rather than her arms Desolate and
broken hearted, she swooned away.
Tho morning aroused her to misery.
Henry was raying in the delirium of fever,
now calling on Isabel and his boy, and
now shrinking rs from some demoniac yis-
ion he dared not name. A few days passed
away, and gradually and humbly poor
Ellen introduced herself into his apart
mcni, her eyes downcast, her voice in whs-
pers, and performed the gentle offices of
love. BY and by the sufferer be-
gan 10 call her Isabel, and stroke her hand
fondIy as it lay by his side, while with The
other she smoothed The entangled hair on
his burning forehead. He listened rs
Ellen talked Of Isabel, and showed him her
picture, the gift Of early friendship; he
ook the gathered flowers when she told him
hey were fresh trom isaJePs graUc; ; she
ang him the hymns they had once sung
ogether, in soft rich tones like Isabel's and
'neeing by the bedside prayed that her
'ure spirit might look down and bless
hem.
The struggle Of reason was awful and
Mysterious, and sometimes Ellen's heart
ailcd within her, and a sickness like death
anne over her soul: then would she 90 TO
sabel's grave, and pray. The soft breeze
evived her, and as 1t played amid her curls,
lac looked like the spirit Of hope and ten
erncss, and trod back with lighter step
, that scene Of darkness and care.
One day while she read, and thought
ienry slept, he was gazing upon her, and
resently he spoke her name. Was it n
renm' Ellen clasped her hands in eager
ope.
El!cn," he said, softly and tenderly.
Ellen my wife"
The ou,cast bride threw herself in intense
md rrcmpling 10y beside him.
81 have had strange dreams, my love-"
he SAID, drawing her gently down toward
iim, :" am glad you are with me, my
sweet nurse"
Ellen could not speak she laid her
head on his bosom sobbiug in excess of
happiness, and Henry wiped away her
tears. T.. q.

ELECTION TO-DAY.
TO THE P0LLS!!

FREEMEN OF RHODE IsLAND!!
By your voice at the polls, you are
this day to decide whether you will
sustain the institutions and Govern
ment of your Country, and the prin-
lciples upon which they are founded,
or whether you will surrender these,
and all that you have, into the
hands of the Whig Regency at Prov
dence.-They have told you that
MIR. Sprague, SHALL BE YOUR Gov
ERNOR, AND NO ONE ELSE; whether
you are willing or not.--They open
ly boast that they have THE MONEY
TO PURCHASE, and the power to
COMPEL the freemen to submit to
their dictation. But unless we are
greatly deceived in the signs of the
times, the presumption Of these men
will this day be most signally rebuk-
ed. We believe that the freemen
Of this state will, on this occasion,
manifest a spirit and independence
worthy of all praise. They will ral-
ly-gloriously rally, at the polls, in
support of Republican principles, g.
show these Wing -Biddle gentry,
that the free citizens of this state, at
least, have not yet consented to be-
come the purchased slaves Of a mon
led power. They will give to Gov.
Francis and the Republican ticket
a decisive majority Of uNPIEpGEp'
UNBoUGHT, INcoRRUPTIBLE DEMO
CRATIC VOTES. Let every demo-
crat rally then TO the support of the
men and the measures, brought for
ward on this occasion for the suffra-
ges Of the Democratic freemen, and
we have no fear for the result.

them for specie and at the same time, ia,
New York banks, drawn upon by their de
positors, were compelled TO draw for thei
balances upon other cities. The New Yorl
banks, unable to endure this run, were fire
ed to suspend, and the other banks, el
course, to follow their EXAMPLE. But wha
caused all this drawing The enormous
deb, due to England, and the mighty
scheme Of the Bank, bankers and mer.
chants Of England, to grasp, in payment o
this debt, our cotton aud our specie too
Had they not resolved upon this plundering
speculation, the cotton, at the prices cur
rent in England at the period of shipment
would have been sufficient to pay this debt
But the profit of honest John Bull would
not have been so great; and after having
thus olundered as, he had the audacity to
accuse us Of attempting to plumber him t; and
some Americans could be base enough to
sustain him in the infamous declaration /! I!
Such were the causes of the suspension |;
and they would still have operated, had
the national bank existed, or had Mr.. Clay
or Mr.. Webster been President and they
would have produced yet greater mischief,
had the specie circular never been issued.
We doubt not that Mr.. Biddle foresaw,
but could not prevent this (; and rs he
knew that it would produce grievous dis
tress, he was resolved to aid it, turn it to
political account, and make it subservient
to obtaining another national bank. 1t is
not improbable that he first sug-
gested this movement among the depositors
of New York, for the purpose of accelera-
an event which would have certainly hap
pened without his suggestion. He proba-
bly, foresaw what these depositors would do.
as their step was the natural and necessary
result of existing circumstances. To en-
barrass the currency still more, with view
10 a national bank, and to replenish the
Golfers of his own, he followed lthis blow
by another, the issue of shinplasters,"
o withdraw specie from circulation; an
example which he supposed that every city
would follow, and which most Of the cities
lid.
He accuses the government of hostility
o banks, and says that it can always op-
,ress them by issuing treasury notes, and
elling such notes for specie. But while
We can see no motive to such hostility, we
would refer our readers to the letter of the
Of the Treasury, which express
y denies it.
