Va Suspension ofhe Barb ofhe United
Siaies-ACAIN.-lt is with regret we have
TO state tina, the Bank Of the United States,
after a resumption Of little more than half
a month, BY force Of circumstances, has
been compelled to suspend again. The
run on the Bank, We expect, is unprece-
denied, it having redeemed its liabilities
since lts resumption to the amount Of six
millions of dollars. The Directors, how.
ever, pledge themselves to convert the as
sets of the Bank into cash, and again re-
sumo payment at the earliest practicable
moment. The other Banks met b. Dele
gates aud resolved to continue the pay
mant Of specie for their liabilities" This
they did for several days, bat was at last
compelled to suspend. All the Banks con-
tiaue TO pay specie for their SIS notes.
How far this win affect tie Southern Banks
we cannot divine, but we hope il may have
none. II will paralyze business at the
North, and it has already reduced the price
Of cotton at the South, as we learn from
persons just returned from market.
Our lates, information from the North
Is, that the Baltimore Banks have also sus-
pended. The suspension will, we expect,
be general to the South.

forge, or disregard the rights of the peo-

cies of Legislation, the dearest rights and
privileges of freemen, they should receive

they will rise in their strength and by
