As to the banks in our own state, we have already
stated our candid opinion Of them and have not the
shadow of doubt that that opinion viii be borne out
by the facts They must however, like all other IN
stutiens submit to the force Of which
they cannot control, and is possible, that they may
find il necessary to suspend specie payment IN self
defence. Should such necessity be forced upon
them, the will be much Tor the protection
and safety of the community for themselves; and
the public will no doubt, As they shoud heartily ac
quiesce in the measure and sustain the banks in its
prosecution; for il would be folly to suffer their own
vaults to be drained Of specie either to be transport
ed to Europe, or to strengthen ether institutions
which refuse to pay We hope for the best; and be-
lieve bank officers will do all they to sustain
the public and themselves.
p. S. Since the above was written,a meeting ofciti-
has been held at the Washington Insurance Of
Gee, in this city; at which il resolved, we are

Gle payments Providence Cour, Oct. IL

which you recollect was bruited in the papers,
he went to sea- that during the voyage from
the effects of liquor, or both, he became deran-
ged; that he raved, and declared thar Ellen
Icvett pursued him; that at length, one day,
he ran out upon the bowspri., and refused to
come in until gill ofbrandy and laudanurn
should be sent out to him. The brandy alone
was sent, and he refused it: it was then tinc-
tured with laudanum, and he demurred to the
proportion of laudanum as too small. While
the crew were parleying with the lunatc in
this way, he fell or threw himself overheard.
