The United States Rank and Resumption.
Itappearsb letters from Pkla delphia that Me- Bid
die intends partially to resume specie payments; and
that in fact he has resumed and that he paid one
individual yesterday 800 specie for notes of the
new bank. So that Notwithstanding he deemed it
the wissst policy for the general interest of the coun-
Try that The banks ought Eot to resume specie pay
ncnts until the growing crop of cotton was ready to
come TO market he has evinced his readiness 70 res
pond to the opinonso gentlemen entertaining differ
snt views, and has already, by payiBg his small notes
IN SPECIE prepared the way for general Resumption
and in conformity to this determination to give the
community a sound currency, has commenced the
free issue of the notes Of the new bank.
All this 10 good far as it goes; and yet we think
we can see hole in the milestone readily as him
that made it. The old bill to restrict the issuing OF
the of the old United States Bank passed the
Senate some time ago, and il was forgotten by many
and some imagined it was sleeping in the tomb OF
the Capules. But all of a sudden it was resuscita
ted, and whipped through the House of Representa-
tives and is now law True its censtitutionality Gas
an invasion of state rights is questioned because the
new bank pledged itself redeem the notes of the
old bank, and Mr.. Biddle therefore, still contends,
with seine small show of reason that he had hight
10 keep the old notes in circulation. One thing we
do know, that in the absence of specie a crcula
ting media in the south and west the notes OF the old
United STATES Bank were exceedingly useful and va
luable to the merchant and traveller and whilst we
were in these regions we always found them to COM
mand premium ORe thing we think certain, that
by stopping the circulation of the old notes Mr. Bid
die has been forced to against his will; and
that being able to issue the old notes. he could not
send out large issue Of the notes. unless he paid
them in specie; and therefore he had to resume or
stop altogether. The Magician has got one move |
ahead of Nick this time.
Lamentabls Effects of the Heat.
All THAT'S great mus, go.
Never did these affecting lines apply with SO much
effect as in the deeply lamented departure ofhc
10 "the oldest inhabitant" from this city, yesterday.
The veteran, venerable time honored silver haired |
editor ofthe Gazettehas gone and has leftu

him, is net "albet unused to the melting mood;" for

would melt away SO quickly in these the days-the
dog days of our distress! We did not believe that

IT'S true that we did hope better things Of our ven

hot adventures and came out with his flowing hair
ansinged. But SO It's! he has left US,

The only thing we complain of is, that as an editor
he was pervious TO heat. He sat and sweaied ont
