own brethren We leave it 10 the Wings Of Baltimore,
Phadep hia New York and Boston, To pour out their
reoIcngs and 10 display the flags of their shipping, as
they have done al Baltimore" We feel, On The other
hand, that it is our own brethren with whom have
srugglcd-aEd will give way 10 trum PHI, and as
sumo no airs Our ''voice is still for aceconcliia
linn compromise, reunon.-Thc Special Depnsiie bill
of Mr. Buchanan does present the system which we
should have preferred But the day OF criticism is gone
by before we had any opportunity Of scring the bill
We have read the Speech, with which he supported 1t,
with pleasure. Ii is clear and albeit breathcs the
finest spirit, and expresses many sentiments in which
we most cordially concur For instance, agree tho.
roughly with this distinguished Senator when lie says
Nov, Sir, for myself am utterly opposed TO ever
again returning 10 the OF State Banks general lie.
pos,ories shall not again consent that the money oil
the Government may be employed in the business OF
banking. think experience ought TO have taught usa
lesson upon this subject which should never forget.
It is my fixed opinion that the former connection be
tween the Government and the banks las proved equally
injurious to both parties and ruinous 10 the country
trust il may cease for ever
We re.pclo also the following sentiments from Mr.
| Buchanans s perch:
at uhe Sub. Treasury billy passed The Senate &c.
cond time, without the specie restriction, and again
laid upon The table of The House. The House have since
considered their own BILL which contained the specie
clause originally introduced the motion of the Sena
tor from South Carolina, MIR Calhoun and it has been
directly ncgavrd by majority of fourteen votes We
cannot therefore, hope that this any other similar bill
will become law during the existence Of the present
Congress which will not expire until the fourth Of
March next The subject is therefore, necessarily post
pnncd until the meeting Of the next Congress, which
| will not take place until December lS39
The question, then, is. shall the friends OF the Adj
miristra;ion (nd profess myself TO be Of the most
decided amongst them) do nothing at ALL because we
have been defeated in favori,e measurc Shall we,
because have lost this measure, make no attempt to
pass any other hut leave oil the public money for the
next eighteen months 10 be managed without law, at the
mere discretion of the Secretary OF the Treasury? am
OF those who can arrive at any such conclusion
The people Of this country expect that Congress will
before lis adjournment ndopt measure to separate
the money of The Government from The business banks
and at the time direct by law in what manner
shall be 1t and dsbursed by the Secretary Of the ea
suty IL would, in my Judgment, be suicidal, IN u par
" point Of view, 10 20 home without making any fur
! lher effort In settle this pcrpexiDg question.
What is The present state OF the question: MT Wright,
from the Committee F'naEce, has reported bill which,
according the following paraGra pin from the Globe Of
Saturday night has probably passed the Senate ln the
Senate to day, Mr.. Wright, from the Committee on FL
nance offered proposition relieving the banks from The
disabilities incurred by issuing notes OF lower denoml-
nations than five dollars repeating sundry sections Of the
depos,e Ia of 1886, and placing The Treasury upon the
bass of the law Of 1859, and making lis connection with
the bank depend upon hir. Webster resolution ofelG
| |, passed 10 third reading by majority Of five"
We have not seen this bill, and indeed know scarcely
any thing of its provisions except from The paragraph OF
the Globe But the first blush Of il strikes eIcep-
tionable II is probable, that IT either repeats the
| Depo.iiGTy feature altogether, OR, throws the Depo
site into the State Banks without any rcstric!ion-
Take it either way, The Bill il exceplionab'e.-
What, pass bill, without modification without a
single restriction the State banks-or any serious re

Nation 10 tic STATE banks as 10 the Treasury De

restricted and wisely guarded in the custody of the pub

our friends on both sdcs--!ha Sub Treasury men aud
