Gen. Harrison, on coming into pow er will find

lars ;-sntierIng public creditors; a revenue not
equal to the demand for the daily expenditures of
the Cover nment, aud ways and means provided
FOR the relief Of the country, of those who have
equitable claims upon it. The Wings in Congress
for weeks past, have frequently in their social
intercourse, expressed their that the
government would be dissraced, if the policy of the
dominant party permitted to control the desti-
ny OF the nation for three months after they retired
from power. So frequent of late, have these ex.
pressions of alarm become, that some of the most

The REsumPTios The resumption Of specie
payments by the Banks of Maryland and Virginia.
took pace Monday last. The Baltimore Ameri-
can says: Perhaps there never was proceeding
of the kind which passed off more quietly than that
of Monday, among the Banks Of this city. The
calls foI specie were exceedingly moderate, and
we're generally made by thos, who we're DESTROYS
of having small change for the facilities of retail
business. Judging from the sums which were paid
out by some of the Banks, we presume that the
whole amount Of gold and silver drawn, did not
exceed twenty thousand dollars-~hilst. on the
other hand, very nearly, # not quite. that sum in
specie was received from depositors.
