THE GREAT PR ERoGATIvE OF STRENGTH is NOT TO BE
AFRAID OF DOING RIGHT.
Thus saith MIR. Biddle; and with him it is not
mere saw, hackncyed phrase. 1e acts upon it,
and up TO it. He refuses, positively and plumply, to
he driven or caioled into resumption of specie paw
ments until the altered condition Of the country, and.
above ALL the altered ZONE and temper OF the Govern
ment. iustifes it. He says he will not be driven in
to rash and psrous enterprises by he d''oa e0e"g
The Government, with its patronage and power, its
safes and its Uaults, stands arrayed against credit
Conscious of it's power, it soics an embrace an IN
terview. But Credit. perched in Mace Of compare
tive safety, inaccessible to the hostile approaches of
her willy and powerful antagonist, prudently retains
her position, and disnpponts the sangunary purpos-

Cock wifi is in some respects the type OF the scene
now enacting:
"A Fox, passing near a 'farm-yard,. espied fat,
well fealhered Cock at roos:, on limb ont of his
reach. Reynard. anxious TO cultivate closer &C:
auaintance with this lord Of the barnynrd, addressed
him thus Friend, have You heard the glorious
news? treaty of peace and eternal friendship has
been entered into between the Beasts and the Fowls.
Henceforth, affection and confidence will obtain be-
tween yonr race and mine, and between you and
myself. pray thee, come down. and let me, at my
ease, give you the particulars Of this most happy re-
concati0n."
"The Cock Ia little too wary to be caught in such

ments for the arrival Of those fleet dogs which ap"
proach us doubtless they bear dispatches which ex-
plain the particulars Of this happy accommodation.
The Fox, on hearing this, regretted the urgency Of
his business, and disappeared in the woods"
The parallel consists in this the ADMINISTRATION,
eager to pounce upon the banks, invite them from
their strong holds Mr.. Bddle cautiously stretching
WORK Connecticut, and the coming Virginia
election. replies STAY gentlemen let US await the
arproach of yon victorious multitude, who are some
what interested in this affair" The Administration,
this s0und n retreat. and abandon their
ground.
Orr Delegaton.-The Madisonian says, the Con-
necticut Delegation in the House will vote against
the sub-treasury bill-in nc cordance with the wishes
of the people of the State, as shown at the late cleo
ton. But the Hartford Times says the Connecticut
delegation will do such thing, and we should not
be much surprised to find that the Times for once has
told the truth. We apprehend that Connecticut in
order to be represented in Congress- wlbe obliged to
send new men.-Hartford Courier.
The Globe says, that in Connecticut the Wings
have swept the state" Aye-and the Wings Of the
country will continue sweeping till cleanliness is
stored the general government and the corup,ions
Of the present dynasty are brushed away.-Ib.
Sub.Treasury Explosion The Collector Of the
Port Of New has received orders from the Trea
sury Department to take the notes Of such Of our

ties. This explodes the "hum-bug' feature Of the

KendaHs Specie Order Rescinded THE Postmas

of specie-paying banks. So far sogood. Things are
coming right.
