DEAR BESNrrr:-
Since last wrote to you, the affairs Of our city
have reached crisis, at which change must Ger
tainly be wrought. Public opinion 10 growing
more and more averse to this system Of banking
| which is now carried on to such an alarming ex
teat. and which serves as powerful engine in the
hands Of chosen few to trample down and totally
disregard the rights and subvert the interests Of
the far greater and useful portion Of our eiti
zens. The situation in which we now placed
is truly deplorable and cries aloud for amelioratiou
| and relief The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
notes, based, as you know, upon the credit Of the
whole city, are now deprecated, through the Sc
cret and underhanded vaccinations of brokers and
shavers as to subvert entirely the object for which
they were first issaed-which was to serve a.
| medium Of circulation during the time the banks
were permitted to remain in a state Of suspension,
and also to relieve the people from the odious bur-
| den Of increased taxation.
| An immediate resumption bill. which passed the
House of Delegates about ten days ago, by an almost
| unanimous vote, has received death blow in the
| Senate. Meetings upon settings have been and
still being held, to avow their decided disappro-
baton Of the course pursued by that body in re-
jecting the bill Of the House. These petit msnied
| corporations always have and always will be nui-
and the sooner they coerced into a state
Of liquidation the better for the welfare and pros
perity Of all, both individually and collectively.
Last evening DR.. Breckenridge delivered a lee
ture in his church, touching the'proprety Of the
passage Of bill, now pending before the Legisla-
ture for the better protection Of the slave interest
of Maryland. That the Doctor is man Of talent
and extensive reading will not, Am sure, be ques-
toned but that all his movements and sayings be-
speak evident want OF sound judgment, more de-
liberation, and less Precipitancy, 10 equally GER
tain. must candidy acknowledge was greatly
Disappointed for he handles the subject very poor
ly. The doctrine which no advanced 10 not calcu
lated to elevate him in the estimation of those resi-
ding this side of Mason and Dixon's line. think
have little to say possible on such subject
have been informed that Miss O'D- will
shortly be led to the altar by Mr.. H, formerly
nation collected from pretty authentic source.
Now all this may be so, but think there 10 ample
room for doubt. Lux.
