THE BAsKs--There are some few plain PROPOSE
lions connected with the present condition Of our
banks which i, may no, be amiss to recall 10 our
readers.
II is well known that New York universally Is a
creditor city, and, consequently, eanuot be drawn
upon from elsewhere, There can, therefore, I've no
danger of any drain Of specie from our banks 20
satisfy debts in other places.
Nevertheless we hear people talk of drafts for
specie from Phladelphia Us though we were the
debtors instead OF the creditors This is irlghten-
ing enes self with shadows
Again: il is said we cannot now collect our debts
in Philadelphia, Baltimore, etc Why not They
cannot, indeed, be collected at par. but at the differ
ence between specie and irredccmable paper they
can be collected The pss thus incurred would be

Indeed, itmay be stated as certain, that bills vii
