Repeal Of Tie British Corn Lars.

We hail the attempt of the British Mlnsters to mo-
dify the corn laws Cheap bread and Free Trade are
becoming the cry in England,-The subject Inns been
for some time sg'tated-and the interest OF The manu-
lacturer calls for reform. If bread and materials
be dear, how can England stand competition with
Germany and France? Her goods wilIbe cut off from
many Of her present markets by the cheaper produc.

ALETTER FROM WASHINGTON

To the Boston Atlas, dated Feb. 6, remarks as

pension Of the Great Bank of the State of Penn.

United States, has been received here with almost
denonic satisfaction by of the Loco locos and
it is thought by some fthe no,e rabd partisans,
that discussion may be turned to political advan

unpatriotie, the expression of feelings vindctive
and seen signs of a war Incorporating, that
nothing but heart stepped in malevoIence, and a
mind blunted with prejudices, could ever have con

1t is nothing to the Wings more than to the adj
herents Of tho present Administration, that State
Bank, with capital of 35 900 ,o00 has fallen, but
it is something to every man. that widows and or
phans whose &c little ALL is invested in the Stock
Of so powerful State Institution, should be ruined.
1t is something to every man that distress prevails,
that business is broken up,-that confidence Is
lost. 1t may indeed be consolation to such men
as Benton, Tappau and kindred spirits, that there

cannot afford any qualification TO those who are

TuE END is NOT YET.

When will the country find undisturbed peace?
When shall we experience return Of those palmy
days our country"enjoyed previous TO the declara
ton of war upon the currency some years ago, by
the demagogues that then and now rule the nation?
Disaster has followed disaster for the last years
the people have been harrassed-their business
deslroyed-he banks forced to suspend specie pay
ments to resume and again 30 suspend land with
all this, the Treasury Of the cation, full, has
been emptied and is now bankrupt-issuing rugs
and due bills TO pay day -laborers upon the public
works! When, we repeat, will such condition
of things cense? Upon the destruction Of the Ma.
tlona Bank, the people were promised sound
and abundant currency from the deposite Banks, -
the system ofdeposites adopted-spece circu-
ars were issued and o,her expeIients adopted
substitutes for the bank which had been destroy
ed, hu, all did not the country was growing
worse and worse daily, till ruin stared in the
face, and tho party became alarmed that
ira session Of Congress was called, when
brought forth the Sub. Treasury scheme as a grand
panacea for all the ills then enduring.
That scheme we now have, and we are still no
better GIT, but rather growing worse. We are with
oat sound currency, and prices are low and grow
ing no better-are fast falling to the 'standard Of
value throughout the world;" and the banks, at
the South, after desperate struggle to return to
specie payments, forced to yield TO the power
of the stolm. When will these things end? New.
till the affairs Of the country brought back TO
the condition they were in before hostties COM
inepced upon The people by the Government.
Let every review the last ten or twelve
years. and contrast the state Of the currency and of
trade during the ten fifteen years previous the
domnancy Of the present party, with the currency
and trade of the last ten Yeas, and if he does
not desire OF those times of peace
plenty, of good and equal prices, and good gov
eminent, But it is said, the banks do all the mis-
chief. But who heard of bank suspensions Of
banks breaking, OF expansions and conractions
! till the Govt commenced &c making the currency
better, tell the war opened by the administration
| upon both State and National Ranks? No one, as
| we have heard Of them of late. Then tho Govern
ment aided the people-gave them sound curren
cy and left undisturbeA their business.

RESIGNATION OF posi- MASTERS.

We notice by tho New Hampshire papers that
certain Post Masters resigning their Offices in
that State. The designations, generally, are those
where tho duties Of the offices have not been dis
changed with too much fidelity 10 the public, and
where Jefferson S rule in regard TO "ntorierence
in ctons,' by tha incumben's, has not been too
scrupuiously obeyed. Such is tho case in other
States, and even to some extent in Vermont. Va
rous m olives are suggested for this unusual course
of conduct-some think it is to avoid adjusting
their accounts under new Administration, while
others believe that in Instances the object is
to secure the appointment of favortes, rs success
sors, and in other it may be, they feel con
scious that they ought to be out of the offices they
hold, aud Therefore AMI cipaie their removal by
resignation. The N. II. Statesman in reference TO
certain designations in New Hampshire remarks
alt should be remembered that the real causc of
these designations, is TO avoid the necessity of set
Ting their accounts under any other than the pres
ent Administration, under the sanction and appro-
baton of which all their fraudulent and corrupt
practices have been INDUCED, and often urged and
approved. The Wings should remember in ascen
ting to the arrangement, which The tory office no.
ders contemplate, they aid the escape of many
rogues, whose offences should be ferreed out and
punished"

THE BANK OF THE UNITED STATE

ANOTHER SUSPENSION OF sFEcIE PAYMENTS.
We notice with regret from the following reso-
lutions that the recent efforts of the Bank of the
United States to restore sound currency and main
tain specie payments, has after great Sacrifices and
expenditures, been frustrated for the present. E$-
raordnary if not hostile interior ence, there is too
much reason 10 believe, has been brought to bear
against the efforts Of the bank, and whatever oPin-
ions may be entertained with regard to the former
policy of the institution, 1t would be great MUS
ce to deny its present directors and officers tho
manly effort to comply with their duty to the com
muniy, OF to question the existence, and unhappi'
" the successful accomplishment Of a sinister de-
sign to Cypress it by most unparalleled demand
at the very outset Of resumption. The errors and
evils Of this bank do not belong TO its present man
Iaaers-We entertain 10 doubt that cxertOns will
be made by The Board, TO place the Bank in a
sound condition again in very short period-exer
lions that we and all we'll wisters 10 sound con
ver,ible currency, hope may be crowned with sue
