RESUMPTION.

Saturday was the second day of resumption. and
the number and character of the demands upon the
United States Bank such as TO show that calls
for silver were less from dstrust OF the characters
Of the notes, than from real want OF circulating
medium. The day ofresumption was the death day
of foreign small notes, and ofcourse very consid.
cradle sum OF silver was required TO make even the
ordinary purchases in the market. Saturday also
besides being market day, also pay day in the es.
adjustments many hands were EMPLOYED
This requires n considerable amount of money in
sums less than FIVE dollars, and when great A.
mount Is paid, II is probable that the wants of the
workmen, workwomen, or working children, render
ed convenient d. at upon the Bank for silver in
place Of the note or check.
The demand upon the Bank was, however, very
small, including domestic calls of the kind above
named, and those which made from abroad
Demands were made on Saturday, also, on the
other banks, they having the day previous paid out
their own notes; but these demands were all OF the
same character, evidently with no view to ga rum
but solely TO meet ordinary wants. A run, however
would only have put the banks to the inconvenience
Of counting, there is doubt Of their ability 10
meet all demands. We learn with pleasure that the
United States Bank continues TO receive remIttances
OF specie from various sources TO supply her vaults
against strong attacks; and many Of those who
drew specie on Friday from the Bank, paid II out
on Saturday in their ordinary business-a proof OF
the growing confidence Of the community in the
ability Of all TO meet their engagements.

DEAa Sra; We sec from the Enquirer, that you
have announced yourself rs a candidate to repre-
sent our district in the next Congress- and that you
refer the respective claims Of Col. Banks and your
self to your constituents, to whose decision You
cheefully submit. Having taken the old fashioned
mode OF submitting your claims without a caucus,
we would respectfully ask whether you come be-
lore the people holding an Office at their hands, as
The Senator of portion Of the district, or whether
II IS your intention to resign your seat in the Sc
nate Chamber, and submit your claims upon the
same footing OF Col. Banks, whose term expires on
ths4'h March, IL that should be your course, you
will see the propriety Of Immediately Informing
your present constituents, that they may select
some suitable person as our Senator; and it will al.
% save the trouble Of especial election to fill the
vacancy, in the case ofyour election.

Whig Union.

We feel particularly pleased with the article which
follows. lnsidious efforts have already commences
10 divide the Whigs-to divide them even before
the wing administration has Commenced. How
can you stand Webster, or Sergeant, or Granger,
says one temptcr-how can you stand a United
States Bank, says another-how can you stand both.
says third! Cunning little Isaacs We caution
the Wing party, individually and collectively,
against the syren songs Of these political mermads
That there are questions which may hereafter
come up, upon which different sections of the hig
party hold different doctrines, is unouestionab
But how weak were it-how childish--how alb
surd-that they should permit those questions 10
divide hsm-to put them at the mercy of Locofo.
coism-to renstale in power the Spells party with
all their abhorred prnciples-,o deprive the coun-
try Of the fruits Of the great Revolution, so ardu-
ousy sought by the People, so long toiled for, so
gloriously completed!
Extract Of a letter from Washington 10 the N.
York Courier.
In my late letter no reference has been made TO
the feelings which pervade the Wing party. I
can only say, whatever OF faction or dissenton e1-
Isted among them, are now swallowed I'd in the
triumph OF victory. The recent Presidential Flee
ton has taught them practically, their own strength.
and that II consists IN union, which now peryades
'e" o"Ns W uu eAeHtneNer before Cqualled. The
selection for Cabinet Ministers, which General
HARRISON IS believed to have made, is approved and
applauded IN every section OF the country by our
Wing friends. You no longer hear Of a Clay par
ty, a Webster party, or Scott party. All, all
unite IN speaking OF the great Wing party:
AS band of brothers join'd
Peace and safety VIC shall find"
IL ~ a source OF great amusement 10 some Of u.s.
who meet OF evening and talk over the pismy ef.
forts of the poor devils yet in power TO create d.
visions in our ranks. The hircling presses Of the
party lead off, and their tools echo the sayings of
the q lobe. One seizcs n Wing member Of Con-
gress by the button, and expresses his appreben-
SONS that Clay will have 100 much influence with
the President. Another that Webster has got the
better Of Clay, by being Secretary Of State and
third, that there is bargain between Clay and
Webster Tor the two next Presidential terms.
All these movements and this fatterins only shew
the foroIn and hopeless condition Of the loco foco
party. They despair, and well they may. Oftwo
things you may rest assured. First, They can
create no jealousy in our ranks. Second, There
will be a contest between Mr.. Clay and Mr.. web
ster but 1t will only be, who give the mos, eff
cieni support TO General HaIrson's administration.

THE CONTEST IN THE SPRING.

The Federal Junto here are commencing exer-
