THE MOST ImPoRrAsr News of the day is the
bankruptcy of the State of Pennsy lvania-the pro-
babe passage of the resumption bill in the State Sc
nate at Harrsburg-the curious movements on state
stocks and state credit by the U. 5. Senateand the
other steps in the progress OF the great revuison
and revolution of 1870
As to the forced resumption OF the Pennsy lvania
Banks by the action of the Legislature of that state
we have word of advice To give to the " great
finaneiers' of Philadelphia.
IL is the easiest thing in the world to stop that
law in the Senate at Harrisburg, and TO postpone
the resumption 10 next July-to next December-to
next year-to next century-yea, even to the day of
Judgment. What is the process Why, buy up
as MANY Iocofoco senator's as you rant. These ami
mails can be got any of the averns of Harrisburg,
cheaper than rotten eggs. They want to be bought
up-they like to be bought up-and the celebrated
Doctor Burden, there could, if he chose trans
act the business at very small commits SION Neither
ought the L. ;. Bank to be squeamish about such an
operation. In the year $780, and downwards they
bought up editors, politicians, and members of
Congress by the bushel They only made one error
they did not buy up General Jackson, who could
have transferred all the others cheap. To get their
present charter, they also bought up majority of
locoiocos of preceding legislature at Harrisburg
The article is cheaper than then; and, il they
do not buy up majority of the present Pennsyl-
wanna Senate, they ought TO lose their charter, and
suffer for all the rogueres they have committed.
This is our advice. Their way is clear-there is
no difficulty IN overcoming the present obstruction
Buy-buy-buy bushel of locofoco senators at
once They'll take post notes, any thing they
get.
