Mr.. Bidhes Letter on Resumption
Yielding to the general desire to peruse this
document, we insert il to-day to the exclusion of
sundry articles having prior claims upon our
columns.
The letter, it cannot be denied, presents many
strong considerations against the pTopriety Of a
resumption by the Banks at present-considera-
lions, many Of which have suggested themselves
to our minds, and reconcied us to a continued
suspension. 1.-THE question were one merely af-
feeling the interests Of the Banks, we should urge
an immediate resumpiion-but as il involves the
welfare Of the whole country, prudence and pa
'rioiism dictate different course. II the Banks
are forced to pay specie, they Of course mu,
press the people. mako their debtors pay specie,
which would create ascene Of ruin and distress
in the land withou, any parallel.
But MIR Biddle has argued the question ably
and at length, and we submit his views without
comment.
MIR BIS letter has thrown our venerable neigh.
Dor into a state Of violent fermentation. at is

il bubbles like the cauldrou of the witches in
Macbeth. Serious fears were yesterday enter
famed that an explosion would take place at the
Enquirer office.
The Enquirer, speaking of the ability of Mr.
BIS letter, says-it sis n fantarOnade ridiculous
almost TO contempt" IL is a grea, misfortune To
the country that the Enquirer alone should pos
se'S the true knowledge OF basking and currency.
and that all others are igsora suses-Fpr that
wisdom Is but little to be commended, which
leads to no better result than other mems fol
w. The Virginia Bank, which has enjoyed The
benefits OF the Eng nrer's skill and cunning, and
which set up 10 r'y,l the U. s. Bank, is in the
same box with the test-it can no more resume
han Mr. Bddle; orlfn can, it is defrauding the
community by failing to DO so.
