Governor either had issued, or Was about to issue
a Proclamation, commanding the Sheriffs and
Sergens to collect the taxes 10 gold and silver, and
prohibiting them to take the notes of the Banks
No sooner was this report circulated, Than all who
had not paid their taxes started in search of The

him in notes before the official received the Proc

BOA scribbler in a late "North STAR" pur-
porting to give some accounts of matters and
things at the capital, gives the iowing:
"You will see TINT Mr. Fairbanks Of your couns
ty has left us; he seems to have lost what popu-
larty he ever had with his own party--it is per-
haps the only tribute they pay TO political ar.
rogance"
Were this the only instance in mich the men,
dacious correspondent of the Star has seen fit to
aim his poisonous shafts at the member of St.
Johnsbury were not the party, with which
that gentleman is prominently and most honora-
bly, identified also implicated we might not
deem these assertions of an anonymous SANDER.
erworh denial. Personally, Mr. Fairbanks has
certainly nothing to fear from these assaults where
he is known: they may yet be injurious to him,
and TO those with whom he acts politically, among
these who have not the pleasure of his acquain-
lance. 1t lis then, from a regard, as well to the
character of n most es,lmnble man. as to the ropu-
'ation of "his own party" in the Legislature, that
we volunteer TO disabuse those who may be mis-
led by the articles referred to. We are witness.
s to the utter f4sehood of the assertions in The
Star, save the single fact that Mr. F. did leave
the House for season. Iftho anonymous SLAM
derer of the Star, was, rs he purports to be, ac-
quninted with the proceedings of the House, he
knew, when he penncd his letter, that Mr. f.
asked leave Of absence, stating that business,
which it was Of great importance to him TO do
and which must be done at that time, required
his absence. At the same time, he assured the
House that, should it be in session. on his return,
he would again take his seat. Leave OF absence
was granted, and in four or five days Mr. f. did
return to the House and remained until the prin-
cIpal business of the session wns in the way of
completion. These are the facts as to his leaving
the House, and his reasons therefor They were
the only reasons, and they were such that his
friends and the House felt bound to discharge
him. We have had the best opportunities OF
knowing both the course and the character of Mr.
f. in the House and it is with pleasure that we
can testify to his ability, fidelity ard zeal in the
public service. Nothwith standing unwearied eff.
forts, engendered local as ,.e as political feelings
were made here by u certain clique privately
and by the organ of that clique in the Star public
ly-no man was more esteemed by his own par
ty, and none more by liberal and honorable men
opposed 10 him poliucally than was MIR Fairbanks
Himself liberal-we may say, almos, to a fault
he is the last man to deserve the illiberal and
mean insinuations ofthe writer Of the Star. In
deed, we would believe, that were it not for the
performance of his duty to his constituents and tc
large portion OF h s county with reference TO the
Caledonia county buildings Mr. F. and his friends
would have been spared these outrageous SIAN

The Loco Focos, few days ago, introduced n
resolution iuto the Tennessee Legislature, instruc-
ting the Tennessee Senators in Congress to vote
for The Sub Treasury bill. A Wing moved an a.
mendment that the Senators be instructed to vote
Tor the bill with the specie clause and the Loco
Focos rejected the. amendment. The Wing, then
moved, that the Senators be instructed to vote
'rithom the specie clause and the Loco Focos
rejected that amendment The Locos, with their
usual partizan abjectness, are resolved that the
Senators shall be instructed to vote for the bill in
whatever form the administration shall think fit to
present it.

Resumption Of Specie Payments al Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia North American of Wednes-
day, says that rumor was current in that city
Tuesday that it was the intention of the banks TO
resume specie payments on or before the first of
January next. The rumol is pleasing and the
consummation desoutly to be wished But,
adds the North American, though we should &C
count this an unfounded report, we cannot but
believe that these institutions are aiming steadily
at such result, and determined to hnsten it for
ward as speedily as possible. The community
seem disposed TO bear patiently the misfortune in
10 which they have fallen, and to abstain from
complaint and reproaches. But they will refuse
to recognise the state OF things which now exists,
as natural state, or to rest in it one which is
to be permanent.

our free institutions to lock up in the vaults the

the right of bearing arms and put their weapons
Of defence in the hands of standing army, would
be scarcely dangerous to their liberties, than
to permit their Government TO accumulate a
