AMERICAN STOCKS.

Above Two hundred millions Of Amer.
can state stocks is now held by foreign
capitalists, and recent occurrences have
created some suspicious as to their sound /.
ness. IL has even been questioned whether
state had power to contract q deb,
abroad. The Barings have addressed a
letter to Mr.. Webster, asking his legal
opinion on the subject. To which Mr. w.
replies at some length, giving an unqnnl.
fled affirmative that The states have full
Constitutional power to create loans. both
at home and abroad. We quote the con.
clading paragraph.
Ihope may be justified by existing circumstan-
ccs to close this letter with the expression of an opi-
ion Ct more general nature. 1t is, that | believe
the citizens Of the United States, like all homes, men,
regalu debts, whether public or private, and whether
at hone abroad, to be of moral as well as legal obi
satoI and trust may appeal 10 their history, from
the moment when those states took hei rank among
the NATIONS Of the EARTH to the present time for PROOF
that this belief is well founded; and if il were poss j.
bic that any Of the states should at any time so en-.
trey lose her selfrespect and forget her duty as ,c
violate the faith solenly pledged for her pecuniar,
enga gements believe there is no country upon earth
not even that of the injured creditors, in which such
proceeding would meet with less co,Incnancc or indul
ecncc THAI it would receive from the great mass o
| the American people.

Is it not very strange coincidence that the
late fires at Philadelphia, New York, Mobile,
and other cities south and west of us,
should have occurred almost simultaneously.
In the course of human events. such
a thing might have been accidental; but
it looks indeed like preconcerted move
among gang Of villains like that denominat-
ed" The MureH Gang,"a portion Of which
was so promptly punished by the citizens of
Mississippi a year or two since.
We regret to see that some respectable
prints at the south indulge in suspicious Of
these fires being brought about by the COM
bned efforts Of the abotionis,s. High hand

tanning matter, contains a rich and beautiful en-
craving, representing the landing at James Town.
This beautiful picture was designed and painted by
J. G. Chapman, and engraved by N. J. Danforh,

FOR THE MADisoNIAN.


Mr.. Editor:-I venture to affirm that the arrest
Of the two Spanish gentlemen Ruiz and Monies, at
the suit of the African pirates and murderers will
do more to sink in the eyes Of every civilized ma
ton of the world than any event that has ranspired
within the last century. appeal to honest men Of
every political party, whether all the persons nsti-
gazing the PROF. eeding, or in any manner connected
with IT, should no, be held up to the scorn and con-
tempt OF every succeeding generation. Here is
vessel belonging TO a nation with which we are on
another within her own waiers-the negroes belong
ing to passenger, rise and murder part of the
crew, rob The vessel, and commit the most shameful
excuses, and at last captured on our own coast
by government vessel-and the guilt OF the parties
ascertained beyond reasonable doubt. And what
is the RESULT The owners Of the property barely
escaping from the negroes with their lives, are in
rated in this country the oa,hs Of the very
villains from whom they were rescued. Il is 70 me
matter of surprise, that under all these circum-
Stances these gentlemen should have wanted bail in
city like New York, where thousands ought to
have stepped forward to have relieved them from
their embarrassmen,s. What should have been the
policy Of magnanim us man at the head Of affairs,
on such an occasion answer TO have rebuked the
so,did spirit that induced national vessel to claim
salvage of the unfor innate, and to have sent the
Spaniards back to Havana with the prisoners, in
order that they might be tried and punished under
the laws Of Spain. r.
