DEts Sra II was asceriained that Gen. HarFl.
would be here in the morning OF yesterday,
and Peunsy lyania Avenue was at an early hour

pie Of the ten aie square
All the Banks in the cities of Philadel phia and
Baltimore have suspended specie payments on all
notes Of larger denomination than five dollars,
and il is believed that the Banks Of Virginia and
the other Southern States will follow suit. The
general impression here IS that the Banks OF New
York held the word Of promise 10 the car OF the
Phllade. phia banks, and broke II in the perform
ance. The truth IS, every one begins 10 see ard
feel the necessity Of Nationa! Bank to act as
regulator TO the Stale Institutions, snd the New
Workers are very anxious to have il located IN
their City, aud they will stoop to any means TO
accomplish Their object The PAlladel pima Banks
held out maniully under tho tremendous run
made upon them, aud if they had received the
least assistance from the New \ ork banks would
have weatAered the storm. The paper Of all the
Philadelphia banks is unques.ionably good, aud
no one ought TO part with any Of their notes FOR
less than their nominal value.
From what can learn, think it quite likely
that in consequence Of the bad and may say
wicked proceedings Of the present administration,
it will be necessary to call extra session Of
( Congress. Such is the prostralon OF every
branch Of business, the country requires and viii
demand the action of Congress at as early day
as possible, that something may be done at once
10 restore confidence and give stability 10 trade
1t lie well known that the majority in the present
Congress viii 10 nothing 10 relieve the dstresses
o. the people, as it was through their agency the
present state Of affairs was brought about. Never
was prosperous country SO sadly ruined by
the wretchod emplricisnl Of a set Of the most ig.
norant quack politicians.
To-day both Houses of Congress W i'll assemble
in joint meeting IN The House of Representatives
TO count the votes, when the official results will be
made known to the country The Treasury note
bill has passed the House Of Representatives. II
was the only feasible expedent to meet the en-.
ergency Of the case, for the Treasury was so bare
of money 1t was apprehended that the slightest
delay might involve il in bankruptcy. Mr.. Ray
ner made a speech upou il which has been h D..
y extoled for its ABILITY and eoGucrce. h Is
considered one Of the most promising young men
Of the House, and should ne continue long in
Z public life have no doubt his career VIII DO emf.
nenty useful and brilliant The appropriation
bills are now beginning 10 engage the attention
of the House, and as there is but ST. ort remnant
Of the session left presume tne public business
vii! now be rapidly despatched. The SenSts has
passed the presumption bill BY much larger ma
jority than had supposed. All the amendments
offered 10 it were rejected.
! You will see much in the Locoloco press OF
discussions in the Wing ranks, bat " the wish is
| farther to the thought" there never was more
harmony amoag cur friends We tolerate a diff
ference of opinion so long reason is left free
to combat it, and if we all can't think alike, we
will not fall out and quarrel aboat it. The Wings
OF all sections OF our Country will rally around
" old TIP" and give to his administration pat
rotIc and generous support They understand
the game the Locotocos are playing of throwing
the tub to the whale TO distract Them and my
word for it, they will not be gulied by any such
shallow device
| presume we shall in fow days learn who
are to fill the situations in the Cabinet that have
been kept open, as the President elect viii now
have an opportunity OF ascertaining the views
and wishes Of his friends upon the subject,
should think Il would be a matter Of very little
consequence to the people from what section they
are taken, provided they arc honcst capable, and
faithful TO the Constitutional one thing you
may rest assured that 1t will be the ablest Cabi.
net we have had since the days Of james Monroe,
Many Of the friends OF tie present administra.
ton are disposed to give Gen. Harrison a fair
trial They say they Will not counteuance fac
tious opposition to his administration, and that
they are indifferent TO the person who prosdos
over the nation so that he pursues an enlightened
and patriotic policy, looking more TO the interest
and prosperity Of the country than to the triumph
Of party and persona! aggrandlzoment | think
and believe that Gen. Harrsons administration
will restore harmony to our distracted country,
and that we shall once more become conteuted
and prosperous people.
Very respectfully, &c. sc. &c.
