7ouoada Bank ErpIOded-The Towanda
Democrat says that J. Boyd has been removed
from the Office of Cashier of the Bank in that
place, and Mr.. Van lngen is now dischargins
the duties. That same paper has long edi-
torial article, inlimating strongly that dishones-
ty is at work, but throwing the responsibility
upon other people. 1t adds, that the President
and Directors are doing all in their power TO
relieve the Bank Of its present embarrass-
ments." But "if, as is by many suspected, a
system of speculation and swindng, this insl-
tuition has become really insolvent and rotten
at the core, the people ought not to be kept in
the dark, and due sense Of propriety, under
such circumstances, we trust will dictate to its
officers and directors the immediate closing of
its doors, and an honest settlement of lis af-
fairs" This is enough. If people will now
receive Towanda money, they do it with their
eyes open.-PhiI. Gaz.

The Military convention which assembled al

rtrday last. The following are the leading
communications adopted while in session.
Resolved, That the parading of the ununi-

injurious, and ought to be abolished
That all able bodied white men, between the
ages of lS and 45 years, ought to be enrolled,
and held liable 10 perform military duty for
public purposes.
That drafts for public service ought 10 be
made by classes, from the mass; but the uni
formed militia might be subject to be first call
ed into service in cases of sudden emergency.
That the mass ought to be organized accord
ing to the acts of Congress, and the uniformed
militia 10 be also separately so organized as the
nature of their duties may require.
That a system Of rules in detail, founded on
these principles ought to be carefully prepared

The Girard Bank StOpped--GreatE Ex-
elemental Meeting Of the other
Banks.

Ame Olrar0 bank StOpped.-GSreat Ex.
citement---A Meeting of the other
Banks.
On Wednesday forenoon, the town became
intensely excited in consequence of the report
that the other city Banks had refused any lon
ger TO take the notes of the Girard Bank. The
Northern Liberty Bank was the first 10 refuse.
A large crowd soon collected within and around
the doers of the Bank, great numbers of whom
were anxious TO get the notes exchanged The
Bank, from the first, refused TO redeem any of
It's Issues excepting the five dollar notes. For
these, they gave the notes of other Banks. II
is said with confidence that the great bulk of It's
circulation is in large bills, and that is truly to
be reJolced at as far less amount will be in
the hands of the poor than would otherwise
have been the case.
A meeting of the committees from the sever
al Banks was held during the afternoon. An
other one assembled in the evening, the object
OF which was to see if any arrangements could
be made by which the Girard should in some
way secure the other Banks, so as to Justify
them IN receiving hereafter the notes of that In
stltutlon. The meeting continued in session
until half past one o'clock in the morning, hav-
ing finally come 10 the conclusion that no ar
rangements could be effected 10 justify them in
assuming further liabilities of the Girard Bank
And thus the Girard is entirely stopped. 1t is
said that the brokers have large amount Of the
notes Of the Bank. A few shares of stock
were sold in the afternoon at So. For the
notes no rates have been fixed, no sales having
been made TO justify quotations, which might
not mislead. A few went at 10 per cent dis
count.-Sat Cour

JOHN TYLER.

The President has invited both parties to COM
promise, and has offered himself as mediator be-
tween them. The leaders on both Sides knowing that
a peace would throw them out of employment are
struggling with ardor and zeal worthy of better
cause, to keep down the rising wishes of the people
They are staving off the question in Congress, and
will keep it out Of sight until they forced up to
it by the pressure of public opinion. Meanwhile,
the President is waiting patiently for congressional
action, and the people beginning to be impatient
and to rally for the Administration
John Tyler is in enviable position. If he be not
deceived by pretended friends and induced to put too
many hostile weapons into the hands of his real enc
miles, he may be assured of the best sort of support
the support Of the people. Men are getting tired OF
the noise and din of political strife and of the de-
testble selfshness of partisan leaders Indications
daily of the growing disposition of the peo-
pie to sustain the present Administration, maugre
present parties and their leaders Let President Iy-
lor go on and calmly and conscientiousy discharge
his duty, and he need not fear for the present nor
yet for the future,

it says, Congress certainly discharged its duty
with fathfulness and honor, which deserved
success, though could not command It,"
This Indirect assault on the Executive, is fol
lowed by the statement, that the currency has
been growing worse every day and we are
then informed that ''the Sub-Treasury has been
condemned by public opinion and repealed, and
that the establishment of National Bank is for
the present as much out of the question, as
if it were really forbidden by the Constitution"
Congress performed its duty faithfully and
honestly !"-and did not the President perform
his duty faithfully and honestly? Because, in
conscience. he believed chartered moneyed
monopoly to be forbidden by the Constitution
because he would not suffer himself to be
trapped into approving the two abortions, which,
under different names, were nothing else than
heads Of the oId hydra he is charged with all the
growth of calamity which has ensued since
the extra session! The Sub-Treasury was
condemned by popular will and the President
signed the act for its repeal. A National Bank
was condemned by popular will, not merely
once, but twice, and the President therefore, In
refusing his signature to the establishment OF
such an institution, no matter what name its
sponsors might give it, or what specious novel
ty of shape it might assume, but obeyed the
popular will.
The dictate of the popular will, without re-
gard to the grounds on which that will was
based, was not the only authority which the
President had to justify his course. His objec-
ton to National Bank had the sanction of the
Constitution To be sure, the Intelligencer is
positive that it is not prohibited by that author
ity. But the President is responsible officer
Of the people, and was obliged to act in confor-
nifty with his own Interpretation of that instru-
ment and if he might trust the wisdom of ma
has produced, if he might trust the judgment of
the people as indicated in their repeated con-
domination of Bank, he could safely confde,
with such authority approving his own views,
in the correctness ofhs Interpretation: He then is
not responsible for the growth Of calamity since
the extra session but those who perversely and
in spite of the declared will of the people, would
force Bank on the country. The odium of
the name was eschewed but the two noxious
reptiles carried the marks of their species too
strongly defined to be mistaken; and therefore,
though they were represented by their exhibit
ors to lie not only harmless, but useful, they re-
ceived the fate they merited. The act that de-
stroyed them has been applauded by the peo-
nile.

The letter from the Secretary of State to Mr..

having been put in possession of the Commit
tee on Printing, we have as yet been unable to
obtain copy of it for publication AS there
has been so much speculation in regard to the
course which would be pursued by the Admins

ty of conjectures have been made concerning
the exact purport of the instructions which
may have been given to Mr.. Everett, we are So
iclous to have it in our power to lay this i'm
portant document before our readers. We hope
very shortly to be able to crafty the public by
its perusal at length. In the mean time curios-
ty may be in some measure gratfed by the Sc
nate proceedings of Monday. From the sketch
of the remarks made by Messrs. Walker and
Calhoun enough may be CLEANED Of the decided
stand taken by the Executive in relation to this
case and the grounds he will assume in all SINH
lar questions. For the alternatives which may
Immediately ensue, we refer to what we have
already written on these subjects.

What made Andrew Jackson President detrac-

Henry Harrison President? detraction and abuse
What will make the next President-matters and
morals remaining they now are-detraction and
abuse
The presses are doing wonders for Mr. Clay
They have thrown him forward toward the Executive
chair faster than all his friends could have done Mr.
Webster has found powerful aid in the hostility of
the Independent. This press is true steel to that
unsparing animosity, which helps IFS object in
the path of preerment and power. The issue be-
tween Mr.. Clay and Mr. Webster, will depend on the
relative abuse each may receive. The laurel will
light where the greatest amount of caumny and

be entertained is that these hostile allies will sacken

received the {" lions share" of abuse The North
