IMPORTANT LETTER.

NICHOLAS BIDDLE, Esq. the Presi-
dent of the United States Bank, has
addressed letter of nearly FIVE col.
umns IN the National Gazette, to John
Quincy Adams, Esq, on the subject
of resumption of specie.payments.-
He is decidedly OF opinion that re-
sumption at this time, would not only
be premature, but fatal. He says:
The credit system of the United
States and the exclusively metallic
system are now fairly in the field, face
to face with each other. One or the
other must fall. There can be no
other issue. 1t is not a question of
correcting errors, or reforming abuses,
but of absolute destruction-not which
shall conquer, but which shall sur
ylve.
"Tho present struggle too, must be
final. If the banks resume, and are
able, by sacrificing the community, to
continue for few months, it will be
concluslvely employed at the next cleo.
tlons to show that the schemes of the
Executive are not as destructive as
they will prove hereafter. But if they
resume, and are again compelled to
suspend, the Executive will rejoice at
this new triumph, and they will fall in
the midst of universal cutlery agains.
their weakness. This is perfectly
understood, and accordingly, all the
Influence Of the Executive is directed
to drive the banks, by popular outrage
ana clamor, into a premature resump-
uon-not business resumption, gene.
raj and permanent, but political and
forced resumption, which may place
them at the mercy of those in power.
They who have special charge octhese
interests, must then beware of being
decoyed from their present position
They are now safe and strong, and
they should not venture beyond their
entertainments while tie enemy is in
the plain before them"

Mr.. Biddlo concludes as follows

Mr.. Biddle conciuoes as Iollo"s.
"On the whole, the course which,
in my judgment, the Banks ought to
pursue, is simply this The Banks
should remain exactly as they are
preparing to resume, but not yet resu-
ming.
"They should begin, as the Bank
of England did, under similar circum-
stances, by paying the small notes, so
as TO restore coin TO all the minor
channels OF circulaiion--but not to
make any general resumption, until
they ascertain what course the Govern
ment will pursue, employing in the
meantime their whole power TO forward
the crops to market. The American
Banks should do, in short, what the
American Army did at New Orleans
stand fast behind their cotton 6ales,
until The enemy has letl The country"
On Drrs. Alexandria Gazette
mentions it as the rumor oil the day
that Mr.. HAYNES OF Georgia, is to
take the place of r. M. Johnson, as
the party candidate for Vice President
at the next election. Col. JOHNSON
promised when he was taken up by
the party, to " look no higher" than
the Vice Presidency and we doubt
not the party has promised TO itself,
that he shall look no farther even in
the horizontal line of vision, than the
end of the first term. The truth is the
Colonel has been rather loosing con-
Germ to the Administration party, and
there is 40 question but the party will
get lid Of him, the first opportunity.
But as to son dit" in favour of DR..
HAYNES, we think Mr.. Senator BUcH-
ANAN, will have a word to say on that
question. 1t is thought by those who
can see a good ways into mill stones,
that this gentleman has an eye TO the
succession, as to the Vice Presidency
and if he accomplishes that, so far as
10 become the party candidate for the
Vice Presidency, we dare say he will
not take example by Col. JOHNSON,
and promise to look no higher.
