Washington. .."H:.
DuELLINe.-Wc rejoice to state that although no
less than dozen challenges have been presented and
accepted by various individuals in this city, within the
last three months, single duel has taken place
This attribute almost solely to the manly and homo
rabe conduct Of the seconds who have been engaged
Instead of permitting their friends to mbrue their
hands in each others blood merely for the sake of
few nonsensical punctilllos they have with noble
generosity by mutual compromise, invariably removed
the obstacles the reconciliation of their principals
We believe the opinion is generally prevalent in this
country that as little credit is gained by engaging in
duel, in pillering hen roost.

more insdous and Objectionable than before the
specie clause was stricken out.
It's effect would have been disastrous as at first

toH in lis operations; whereas, the law tpassed
can be so administered to destroy nullily the
business Of any banks who do not submit to the will

AT town election recently held in the town Of
Adams, Berkshire county, Mass, which has hereto
fore sustained the administration by large MAORI
ty, the Wings carried their entire ticket by majo-
rity of about $50.
In the town of Wilamsown, in the same county,
uniformly heretofore an Administration town, the
Wings have also succeeded, in the election oflocal
officers, by decided majority.
These two instances, being all that we have re-
ceivcd, may be regarded as fair index of the asto-
nishing change which Loco-foco-Snb- Treasuryism
is working in that staunch Republican county.

JACOBINISM.

The Jacobin editor ofand writer's in the Globe
are making demonstrations both disorganizing
and revolutionary. They would encourage
the floating scum" "the rabbie fcllo,cers Of
The camp" to "wage war of determination"
against all the banking institutions of the coun-
try, in case they are unable to yield to the
mandates Of these RoBEsplERREs, MARATs,
and DANToNs of The party.
The Globe Of Friday night, contained a
long eifusion Of one of these revolutionists,
which concluded, with the following:
elf the banks pursue their present course, and
refuse to resume beyond the month OF May, there
will be one universal sentiment of indignant con-
domination against them throughout the whole coun-
try The people will not only demand 4 divorce of
the Government from the banks, and reform olthe
system, but their feelings will be outraged that it
is TO be feared will wage war of determination
against them. Letthe Banks beware! Let them be
warned before it is too late. The pcoplc densdad a
rcorm Of The system and its train Of abuses, AND THEY
HAVE IT."
We as strongly urge the banks to return to
specie payments rs speedily as practicable, as
any one, but while we do SO, we raise our
voice against such threats as are contained in
the above, as leading to revolution.
1t appears if the banks do not resume spe-
Gle payments in May next, they are to be as
sailed indiscriminately and annihilated
Why did the banks suspend payments in
specie in May last 2 1t was to save their
debtors and the people. If those who were
then indebted to the banks could have paid
their debts in specie, the banks could have
met all demands against them in specie.
SO now, if the people who are indebted to
the banks, resolve that the banks ought on IA
given day to resume specie payments, let
them commence by paying their own debts in
specie.
We call on the banks to weigh well these
threats which are made against them through
the columns Of the official organ, by political
demagogues. A false issue has been made
from the first moment after the suspension.
The banks have been charged with all the mis-
chiefs that have attended it.
We would suggest to the Banks, one and
all, as preparatory steps of avoiding that
with which they are threatened, that they
will be compelled to demand specie from
all their debtors forthwith, and if they do not
pay it voluntarily, to pursue them legally for
the constitutional currency. The people will
then have ample evidence, for whose benefit
the suspension was resorted to and has been
continued; and seeing, they will unite in drv-
ing those revolutionary Goths and Vandals
from the land, who are seekingto elevate them
selves on the ruins of our once happy and
prosperous Republic and its institutions.
Does the Globe intend to encourage the
" democracyo Of numbers" to assall the Banks,
break open their doors, enter them and scatter
the contents into the streets, in the manner
they did the -four stores in the city of New
York some months since This transaction
ought not to be forgotten by the people, when
threats like the one above, arc made against
the banks.
