Previous to the Election, the wings were

we do not want office, but for principles
and measures" No. man Of their party
wanted an office. No office hunters among
them. Not even the great unclaimed would
ask for or accept en- Office. Their object
was their country's good. Nothing else,
pom honor. But al, what change has
come over their dreams. Every brawlcr

BANK SUSPENSION.

The people of Pennsylvania, before they
were permitted 10 realize the advantages oil
a sound constitutional currency. have been
suddenly overwhelmed with the calamity Of
another general suspension.
Wha, is to be the consequence to the
community and to the banks of this renewed
breach of COED faith, we are unable to pre-
dict; but SC arce any train of circumstances
need be anticipated more disastrous than
those which have already been generously,
and perhaps TOO patiently endured, by the
people. In the meantime, oil is doubt. con-
fusion and dismay,nor is it even ascer,ained
TO what length this third suspension is 10 be
continued, or how the banks are TO extrica'e
themselves from their dilemma. All the
information which the public has yet re.
ceived, consists in the fact that the Bank of
the United States was the first, by a je,o
hours, to refuse payment in specie OF lis
liabilities, and that there is considerable
criminatsp, and some doubt. in the city, as
to whether the other banks did or did not
voluntarily hasten that alasrophe, under
the insane belief that many links Of the
grea, chain could be severed without all,
which i, held tegethsr and supported COM
ing to the ground.
We turn with pain nearly allied to DISCUS.
from these institutions to the modest and
wholesome position of our country banks
generally. Although dragged down with
the rest, they are undesarving Of blame; and
if any distinctions are made between the in
nocen, and the guilty, they should be held
free and harmless---or even more--they
should be succoured and protected.
