REsUMPTIoN.-A gentleman ilom Aabana in- forms us that es the people afe coni ig very gener ally Co repndiale all b;na notes winch are not paya ble in specie demand. They have suffered by the depreciation of bank and by the failure of one bank after anoher and have been wIunged m so ma ny ways hy the banks, that they becoming deter mined m their resistance the father continuance oi the fraudulent system. Gold and silver are coming agan into circulation, for the people Will pafi with their property for nothing else. iewPrhate banks paying specie getting into operation, winch inr- nish sound paper currency; but they are not yet much known. From Georgia, and from Michigan, we have published the proceedings of public meetings repudatng the paper of suspended banks. From three States, therefore, we have learned that the principles of liberty, not regulation, are purifying the currency Another year of the uninterrupted opera ton of these pri cpes would probably restore sound o the currency in most of the States; and when so restored the currency would remain sound. The laws of nature cure evils, but legislative quackery plasiers them over, that the first time the patient takes cold, they break out again. If the people could the operations of nature for another year. the doctors would be compelled to throw away their pills, and allow the patients to get well.
 We should be please if some of the facts of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce, from which the above is taken were true its views are earnest. That we of Alabama have ''suiered by the depreciation of bank notes''is too true-but that the only currency which possess the State Bank currency is repudia ted b, the people It is with Appreciated State bank nothing-we have solvent inst- tutions, able to furnish sound currency subst- tute to which we can turn Our only two stock hanks located in this city have no circulation out oft As with the people, they deal exclusively with State bank paper As for the "God and Silver" which is "again coming into crculation'-we have noth- ing of it here. We see nothing but dimes and they pass eight for dollar.
 The people of Alabama, have the will to repudate rag money, and they beginning, we trust, to be convinced that the only mode of putting their will
 into practice is through their legislature. They feel that ths State bank system in it's present condi- tion of rredempon is blot upon the States charac- acter as we'll as an incubus upon it's prosperity. It is for the legislature to re-anmate or destroy the system-one of the two things must be done, or the evil will be perpetual. Ts effect this, the large bank debtors must be kept out of the legislature, as the representatives of the people, abama principles are sound; we trust that they will soon bear whole some fruits.

WAsHINGToN August 7th, 1S41.
 My dear Sir:-Yesterday the bill to establish the Fiscal Bank of the United States, passed the House of Representatives by vote of l2S in the affirmative and 97 in the negative. All debate wss brought to close in Committee of the Whole at 12 o'clock on that day. after which the votes taken the a. mendments and every one rejected by the most deci- siye majorties. The bill in its present shape bitter pill to many-to most of its friends. One of them voted for it with in his eyessome would not vote for it at al and two of the most ardent whigs in the House, Adams of Massachusetts, and Marshall, of Kentucky, (from Clays distric) voted against it.
 or not, Bank and State are to be reunited-whether or not the country is again to be afflicted with mi- serable paper standard of value! Whether or not the administration of the government is to be kept unconaminated by the yenai influences of the Bank ing System and the standard of value established by the constitutions be again reared up and maintained! His determination upon the question is not known Wise, Hunter, Mallory, Gilmer, and others from Virginia, say most positively that he will veto it. The democrats stand aloof with no feeling of indif- ference, assure you, as to the result of the same am of opinion that he will veto it. But must further say that as yet have confidence in John Tyler. If John Tyler of l84l will prove himself to be what John Tyler of 1921 was, he shall have my cordial support-otherwse he have it even it opposition to Henry Clay.
 The Whig party in the House of Representatives are almost to man in favor of Clay-the fear that he may have to their fierce opposition may

BlLsinssS Prospects-We find that business men around seem generally expect good trade this iall. There is speculation abroad, nor any means of dangerous expansion. Last fall and winter there was buoyant state of feeling, and business promised well; but the U s. Bank in Philadelphia resumed only to break more completely, and with that catas- trophe were dissipated the prospects of business That calamity will not happen again during the com ing winter, nor can anything produce much aga-
 on, unless it should be the construction of another National Bank. The i'll effects of this, however, could be no breakdown but a temporary pressure on the money market at the most The Tariff blll, II It passes, will for the moment rather accelerate busl- ness; and the bankrupt law, though It would proba- bly, increase the timidity of capitalists, could not prevent the regular flow of business to the extent Of the country's means of payment. Every thing now IS on the basis of prudence. Disaster has taught men the lessons of practical wisdom. The arrange for business ample for all purposes, within safe limits. Exchanges are collected with facility through all parts of the Union maturity. If funds were provided for dscounting notes and bills payable four six months at all the distant parts the try, it would expand immediate bus mess, but prepare the way for reyulsions and losses in the end. The broadcast credit which have been at various pe- riods gwen to the South and West, have always proved disastrous. The debt grows larger from year to year, and is really paid but by bankruptcy. The real good business of the country cannot be creased by long credits. So much as the surplus produce of the country sells for, much the country can pay for and no more. This IS the present mea- sure of business. old dehts pretty well paid of m way another, and the surpluses are in- vested in new purchases. This is the measure of a state business and all beyond must be atoned for by heavy losses.
 The stocks of all of goods light ,ere, and the facilities for rapid intercourse between this and other countries, prevent the necessity of importing heavy stocks at any time. In every way business is safer scale than for some years past, and we hope and believe will prove prosperous to all men who do not make too much haste to be rich.-N. Y. Jou. Com.

FORCED LEGIsLATIoN.-The process adopted by the whigs in Congress to force particular meas ures through the Senate and House of Representa- tyes without permitting the opponents of such mea- sures full and free exercise of their rights rep resentatyes of free people, express their views upon the subject proposed has become outrageous ly unjust and tyranncal that of their party are forced to speak out against such proceedings. MT. Profit, has published notice in the National Intelligencer, explanatory of vote given by him on the passage of the bill ''reatye to duties and draw backs, in which he uses the following language:
 ''The bill was hurried through the House with haste unprecedented n the annals o Americdn Rg'Sta- fonland by tyannicdi ererciss Of pocer grossly yio

The bank bill was passed on the Eth ins and the probability is, that by this time, it's fate with the President is known. Some of the New York papers profess to have received information which rendered it certain that Mr. Tyler would sanction it. What that information is, is not stated.
 On the other hand, the evidences that it will be vetoed are more definite. It is known that the Vir ginia delegation entertain the confident opinion that 1t will not become law, and it is to be presumed that they have right to know more the sub ject than the New York editors. The whiss, too, have already entered into speculatons of the matere of the new cabinet. to be formed on the suppostion that the bill is vetoed. Their cabinet is composed of men who are opposed to the bank bill. This is some evidence that then reasoning is inconsistent with their wishes. Besides, if we look to the ind- vidua opinions of the House, we will find that many of the whig members admit that the public opinion the subject was not elicited by the last general election. Mir. Profit, of talent, from Indiana, h recent speech took strong grounds and used strong language this subject. He explicitly stated that it universally known that the whig party came into power on no understood principle, except opposition to Mir. Van Buren. Erpediency vas the motto ofthe party, he said.
 Mir. Tyler, therefore, if fear of consequences were anticipated, may dismiss it at once-for no one tan assert that in vetong the bill, he flies in the face of the will of the people. Rejecting, therefore, any dread of this kind, find every inducement for him to use the veto power. His views are known to be opposed the constutionality of the measure, and he has pledged himself to that of the kind shall pass with his sanction.
 In addition to this, it is well known to him that here is growing antipathy to a national bank a. mong those who time ago its walmest friends. He IS aware also, that by the time of the meeting of the regular congress such light may be elicted shall render the public wishes plain, and at all events give time for more thorough con ideration of the subject and the formation of bill which may possibly escape every objection which he has etern,ained towards bank.
