writer signing himself "a stakeholder" in the
North American, speaking of the approaching meet
ing of the stockholders of the Philadelphia Bank OF
the U. s., makes the following statement by way OF
supporting his call for full fair and honest exhibit OF
the condition of tie Bank, viz
Within the last two years the Bank has been yisi-
ted either with gaca misfortune or with great misman-
agcment. Its capital stock the % of January
1889, was valued in the market at 1923 per share AT
the present moment is selling for $66 per share
showing depreciation or loss the whole capital in
vested of Sl9,950,0O0 This appalling fact runous
TO the best interests of the stockholders and entire
y unprecedented in the history of well administered
institutions, calls loudly for some explanation, ant
ought to urge all parties interested to be at their post
at the approaching meeting. 1t is hoped that tina
occasion the stockholders will not rest satisfied with
mere pro forma exhibit as heretofore.

Mr.. DAVIS, Of Indiana, had watched with some
degree Of soliciude these questions but what al
together more Illuminating, in his estimation, the
erouchng yeophaRey the part Of the United States
towards Great Britain. What is the nature Of the
correspondence You are told that your citizens are
peIured outlaws and your courts Of justice are as
persed mockery Has il come to this, that
tho people of this country have rights to be de-
Tended?
The present Executive has some limitations that
his has not received the sanction Of the people
II Harrison shall come up to the mark and demand
retrbutve justice, he shall have in this act, at least,
my humble and hearty cooperation. He had heard
so much about amicdbie correspondence that his ear
was wearied with il. lie wished that this land OF
the lion heart and eagle eye" should not crouch TO
Great Britain even in the reIinqushlnent Of a single
acre Of land. He had such American feelings as he
trusted they all had such urged him TO say that
this correspondence before the House by the British
minister unwarrantable and unjustablc at
tack the rights Of American citizens.
Mr.. WELLER thought no advantage would result
on the debate Of the question in this shapeand hay-
ing already had sufficient exhibition of patriotism
moved the previous question.
Mr. GRANGER asked that the previous question
be Withdrawn TO enable him TO say word. lie
said that the person who is involved in this controversy
and soon TO be brought to his trial in western New
York not to be denied the right of impartial trial.
which is granted to every one in this country.
When Mcleod shall be ght TO his trial, he will
have every advantage the law to him, and the
trial shall be cool and dispassonae the trial OF
Of our citizens. IT. on trial, he shall be found in
nocent, he will be acqulted-f proved guilty, will be
condemned; and If condemned, will be executed
his execution being due the supremacy Of the laws
in that State.
This act performed--if the British Government
should hastily undertake to redress this supposed
wrong, she will find in Western New York the same
blood that was there in 1912, unbought by British
gold unbought, and only to be bought by that love
Of country which pervadcs the people, and the whole
people. lie had no fear that the nation would ever
crouch to the British Lion She will act calmly and
dispassionately will execute her laws; and when
properly executed the gentleman from Indiana need
not fear that the General Government or New York,
will quail before the British Lion
Mr.. HAND offered an amendment to the Iesolu-
ton, which was lost

THE PUBLIC DEBT.

The total amount of Treasury notes outstand-
ing TO the report of the Secretary of the Trea-
sury.
The Government is expanding, at present. as
little as possible for any thing beyond its current
necessities, and yet we see no diminuion of the
public debt.
On the contrary we think, we can ioresee an
increase Of it during the present session. Our
friends, therefore, need not be surprised to hear
Mr. Woodbury. crying out forpermisson TO issue
more Treasury notes. A sufiicency will doubt
less be called for to absorb many of the debts OF
the Government standing in other forms, and
thus the public debt viii be consolidated as far
as this administration shall find it practicable,
and thrown into the shape Of Treasury notes
redeemable in 1912. This fact strengthens the
suspicion we have long entertained, that this
Treasury note system was 10 be made an essen
tial and permanent part of the Sub Treasury
and holding the same relation to that creature
that promissory notes do 10 a bank. Or, in other
words, that Treasury notes were designed to be
the constant issue and circulation Of the Ere
cutire Bank.
Considering the exploded and ruinous sys-
TEN Of the same sort which this country expe-
rienced in the shape of continental paper, during
the revolution, and regarding the influence of
Mr.. Dallas, Mr.. Crawford, Gen. Jackson, and
MIR. Benton, all of whom have repudiated the
system, as not being entirely lost we confess
we are surprised that il should find favor at this
late and more enlightened day. But as Mr.. Van
Buren, commenced il when he entered Office
has continued il each year Of his administration,
and is about to signalize his retirement with an
additional act of the same sort, we see proof
of all the dccepuvencss, nsidiousness, and fas-
cnalion, which has been justly attributed to
the system by undoubted and sagaciou5 repub-
leans.
tits amentable that there is necessity for
Treasury notes, or a loan. 1t is humliating that
the country should have so greatly msjudged as
to select an administration competent TO effect
nothing for the public good, but only TO accom-
psh the bankruptcy OF the Treasury. For it,
in time of profound peace, they have precipi-
tated a nation possessing the enormous riches
and resources Of the United States, into embar-
rassment and debt, what could have been tx
pected from such an administration in a period
Of war?
We shall look upon another Treasury Note
Bill as draft upon Gen. Harrison's admins
tration TO pay for the imbecility profligacy Of
this. And as a note is scarcely considered a
debt until it is due, they will intend by such a
bill 10 make large debt accrue some twelve
months hence, with which they desire to charge
Gen Harrison, and make it a point Of attack,
deriving the principle which will actuate them IN
doing So from Mr.. Van Buren's message
If Mr.. Van Buren, and his Secretary possessed
the irankness, magnanimity, and consistency,
Of true statesmen, they would, it seems 10 US,
make full and fair exhibit Of the dilapidaed
condition Of the Treasury, and honestly ask for
a loan.

MARyLAND-Gov. Gray sons message is oc-
cupied with long argument against Mr. Clay's
Land Bill, and National Bank. Judging from
the embarrassed condition Of the affairs Of the
State over which he presides, his advice will
hardly be deemed very valuable on any subject
connected with government. The debt Of Ma
ryland is now Sl5, 100000. The demands on
the State, this year, will amount to S927,00o-
the receipts TO $3O6,905. We do not see that
the Governor proposes any remedy for the bad
condition Of affairs Like his partisans else
where, he seems TO be occupied with one idea,
and that is factious opposition 70 Gen Harrison.
