SUSPENSION OF THE U. STATES BANK.

No more interesting event, in every point OF view
financial and political has occurred in this country since
the pcto of Gen. Jackson upon the Bank Bill than the
suspension OF cash payments by the Philadelphia Banks
The friends Of the have been for the last
fouy-eigh, hours, upon broad grin. Therpa'rotic
hostility to commerce and credit has been revealing IN
delicious antcipations of another havoc among banks
aud merchants less widespread than that which has
made the year 1897 forever memorable The friends OF
tho country and its prosperity, who have no hope Of
living public expense, fixed Incomes paid In gold
and silver and bearing high premium the friends OF
order and honest industry-havc been trembling Tor The

THE SUSPENSION.

All is calm and quiet here there is neither
excitement nor alarm. The people seem to
have an implicit confidence in the solvency
of their banks, and hence there are no fears
expressed, either by bill holders or deposi,ers.
As yet, no shin plasters' have made their
appearance, and if they should at any future
period, we hope the good sense of the people
Ito say nothing Of their known respect for
the law will at once induce them to frown
down such an attempt The necessity is
not, we think, so absolute as to induce re-
sort TO that system of individual issues which
has so direct tendency to corrupt the cur
rency and the morals Of the people,
When an institution like that of the U. S.
Bank of Pennsylvania, with its millions of
capital is compelled to suspend, il would not
have been wonderful if there had been one
wide spread panic throughout the country.
Such, however, we are happy to see, is not
the fact; and we learn, with pleasure, that
those institutions which have confined them
selves within their legitimate spheres, and
managed their concerns on true banking prn-
ciPles, have nothing to fear Those banks Of
the city of New York that have done so,
have nobly sustained their integrity, as well
against the united and mad assaults of the
Destructives, as against the shock occasioned
by the late results at Philadelphia. We hope
that the banks in that city may hold out, and
retain the confidence Of the country. As
they were the first to resume in the other

/ Want Of harmony among the Jacobin De-
structiyes in this country is becoming as com
mon as il was among that fry in France dur
ing the reign Of terror. Already has there
been an open rupture in New York among
the conductors of the New Era, and as usual
in such contests the honest though mistaken
advocates Of Locofocoism have been driven
TO the back ground. and the paper placed in
the hands Of corrupt officeholders, who seem
determined to sway il according as their indi-
vidual interests may dictate. We may pity
honest zeal in bad cause, but we have no
bowels Of compassion for the willully corrupt
and perverted, who have no principle but
lucre and their own individual aggrs ndize-
ment. Some symptoms Of like kind have
been manifested in this city in relation to the
reception to be given to the little aristocrot,
who appears to have walked so wonderfully
into the affections of his Democratic fellow
citizens. In the first instance, the ultra De-
mocrats determined to exhibit their zeal by
bowling out "weicoms back" in the ear OF
their President, by way we presume Of max
ing amends for any neglect he may have met
with in foreign parts. The silk stocking
Democrats, however, thinking it would never
answer to be out done, held a counter meet
ing at Carusis Saloon, with view to take
precedence of their more humble democratic
brethren, and save their Aristocratic Demo
erat from their rough Jraternai hug. The
party was made up Of ofliee-holders on one
side and ofiice-seekers on the olher-and
might be called the silk-stocking democracy
versus the Sans CulOttes. Which will be
acceptable to the President remains be seen.
Testing apart, however, in what light are we
to regard this movement Here the Presi-
dent has been absent from his post for up

es, and openly soliciting votes for reelection,
and having to be hunted from post to pillar by
officers in public business, giving audience to
foreign ministers away from the capitol Of the
country as Napoleon did when he was in his
proud and triumphant marches; and yet he
is received with shout Of triumph by his
minions. If he has any conscience left, he
cannot but feel it as severe rebuke for his
conduct This is the first time in the history
of this government when ofice-holders have
met to welcome the return Of the President,
and we sincerely hope it will be The last. In
The days Of the pure Democracy Of Tom JEFF
ferson, such conduct would have been frowned
down from one end Of this nation to the other.

The happy termination Of the late election
in New Jersey, is the first check the Destruc-
tives have received. and deeply indeed has it
CALLED them. 1t has proved fatal to their hopes
of creating an undue excitement, and enact
ing within the walls of Congress the same
dsgraceful scenes that were perpetrated at
Harrisburg. At no period within our recol-
lection have they been more completely chop
fallen. Had they succeeded in New jersey,
they would have reversed the decision Of the
former Governor and Council, by which
means they might have carried the organiza-
ton of the House of Representatives, pre-
vented investigation Into their conduct, packed
all the committees to suit their own views
and completely blinded and "bamboosled" the
people. Thanks, however, to the patriotism
and energy of the people Of that State, have
he Destructives been foiIed in all their base
and wicked designs. If we are asked how
New Jersey managed to stem the flood of
corruption and gain such triumph-we an
Swer, that her citizens regarded principles,
not men-that there was no canvassng the
merits OF particular individuals for the Presi-
dency---they wisely left that to the Conven-
l'on, and marched in firm, unbroken pha-
ianx, to route the Destructives, and did COM
pietey drive them to the WALL---ihere, let
them lie! Never was there more animating
scene than was exhibited in that canvass. Re-
voIutionary heroes and statesmen, who had
breasted the storm in the struggle for indie
pcndence, rode forty miles to use their infu-
ence in opposition to the Encouragement and
mlsrule Of the party in power.

THE Boston Post transcribes an article
f,om an opposition print, headed, " We giue
am," which is filed with gruans and lamen-
,oions, upon the shifting scenes and fluctuat-
ios prospects of political party. The ati-
Gle in question says "the Wings have been

i M y Give il up, ndsed!-Let no honest
print harbor thought Of defeat because the
enemy has surprised US in one or two in
stances. What though Tennessee may have
zone over to the Destructives, does it follow
that she cannot be reclaimedl We oil know
the causes which led to that result, viz the
liberal promises Of office made to political
leaders, What though Indiana may have
followed in her wake through the same poll
tical chicanery, does it follow that she will
never be made to feel the disgrace which such
step has inflicted on her! Now that the
elections are over, and the present object Sc
cured, the promises have been protested, and
those who became the dupes Of such hollow
heauedness and duplicity, will turn from them
en- masss at the ensuing elections-what
though Maryland may have secured five dis
honest politicians in the room Of three, by
money sent from the ofliceholders and pro-
prietors Of the Globe of this city. What
though Mississippi may change her repre-
sentation from Conservative 10 Destructive,
does it'follow that we should basely skulk from
our duty and tamely submit without further
effort to see the nation hurried, psl nell, into
bankruptcy and utter ruin! Forbid il honor
forbid it patriotism-forbid it every feeling
dear to the hearts Of honest citizens. Thank
the Gods we have still force enough and to
spare, for the organization of the House OF
Representatives. We have still the means to
obtain an investigating committee that will
open the eyes ofthe American people to such
scenes of damning infamy and political pro-
hlgacy as will cause the republic to tremble
to its very centre. Let none despoad---let
none despair" Above all, let no honest OPP
position print say that it gives up the fight
thrice are they armed whose cause is just, and
until justice is banished from earth, and honor
and integrity fled the land, never shall we
cease our endeavors to save the government
from the dark abyss into which unprincipled
demagogues are fast hurrying it.
The mad Swede, Charles the Kill, after
swimming in victory, was foiled at last at Pull
iowa; and all that is wanting, to insure po-
litica PuItowa in 1910 to the Destructives,
is, union, harmony and concert of action.

BEAUTY of the Je,ress. Fontaine asked me
one day, why the women OF Jewish race were
so much handsomer than the men. gave
him a reason at once poetical and Christian.
The Jewesses, replied, have escaped the
curse which has alighted upon their fathers,
husbands and sons. Not Jewess was to be
seen among the crowd Of priests and rabble
who insulted the Son of Man, scourged him
10 ignominy and The cross. The women Of
Judea believed in the Saviour-they loved,
they followed him, and they soothed him I'M
der Affections. A woman of Bethany poured
on his head the precious ointment which she
kept in vase of Alabaster; the sinner
nnonted the feet with perlumed oil, and
wiped them with her hair. Christ, on his part,
extended his grace and mercy to the Jewesses;
he. raised from the dead the son Of widow Of
Main, and Mariha's brother, Lazarus, he
cured Simon's mother-in-law, and The woman
who touched the hem of his garment. To the
Samaritan woman he was spring Of living
water, and a compassionate Judge to the wo-
men in crime. The daughters of Jerusalem
wept over him the y women accompa
MED him to Calvary; balm and spice, and
weeping, sought him at the sepulchre 'wo-
men, why weepest thoul' His first appear

How hath He loved US Ask the star,
That on its wond'r ous mission sped,
Hung trembling DER that manger scene,
Where He, The Eternal bowed his head

Found in her lowliest inn--ao room.

And Cedrons brook, whose ripping wave
Frequent his weary feet did lave.
How hath He loved us Ask the band
That fled his woes with brealhIsss haste
Ask the weak friends denial tone,
Scarcely his bilterest tears etTaced;
Then ask the traitors kiss aud see
What Jesus hath endured for thee
Ask OF Gethsemane, whose dews,
SHRINK from that moisture strangely red,
Which, in that unwa,, he'd honr Of pain,
His agonizug temples shed
The scourge, the thorn, whose anguish sore
Like the unanswering lamb, he bore.
How has He loved us Ask the cross,
The Roman spear the shrouded sky;
Ask of The shrouded dead, who hurst
Their prisons at his fearful cry
o ask no more but bow thy pride,
And yield thy heart 10 him who died.
