MIR. VIM. O. GOODIES SPEECH.

The Representative from the Mecklenburg District,
Mr. VIM. o. Goode, has at last made speech in
Congress- The National Intelligencer of Saturday
tells us that on Friday he and said ".Nr.
Speaker, more that the House adjourn" Shade OF
Patrick Henry how eloquent! what sublime concep-
tions what glowing language
We hope Mr.. Goode will frank to us copy of his
maiden speech in pamphlet form.-Peterbang (pa. }

1--WE hold that Mr. Goode has made the most SEN
sibe speech of the session. The Member who fixes
the day of final adjournment will be deemedt the most
eloquent man of the session. w Y. Erpress
The Intelligencer has taken the cue. The ul-

THE BANKS AGAIN.

new move has been attempted in relation to the
management of Banks. The Board of Currency
called meeting of the Presidents and suggested that
the present specie paying Banks should suspend until
December next, for the purpose of equalizing the
value of the different notes.
This is singular step on the part of the Board of
Currency If the proposition agreed to, it would
make the notes, not all equally good, but all equally
bad. The President of the Board, Mr.. r. D. Shep-
pard, was opposed to it, and in consequence resigned
his office.
The proposition was promptly refused by the Pre-
sdents OF the Bank of louisiana the Union Bank,
and the Mechanics and Traders Bank, who de-
clared that under no circumstances will they again
suspend.
We applaud them for their honesty and frmness of
purpose-and we think that course the most advanta-
geous to their interests the opinion Of the Courier to
the contrary Notwithstanding. They no doubt have
discovered ere now how much satisfactory it is
to transact their business the specie basis, with
the confidence of the community assisting and cheer
ing them in the good work.
We have it on undoubted authority that the three
honest Banks neither be coaxed nor coerced into
deviation from the correct line Of conduct They
occupy strong position, and fully able to sus-
tain it,
The Carrolton Bank agreed to suspend but as it is
in state of liquidaton having very few notes out it
is not of much consequence.
In the meantime, the rotten Banks are all at logger
heads among themselves, refusing each others notes
as each tries to appear better than its fellow.
The discount their notes varies occasionally ac-
cordng to the demand or supply in the market. The
following latest rates

the aggregate of all other foreigners. The amount
of property held in the island by those 600 Ameri-

depot at the Sandwich Islands.

KILL THEM OFF, BOTTS.

Some members of Congress, who have hith-
erto borne characters generally deemed beyond
reproach, have brought upon themselves, from
some of the rabid presses, the serious charge OF
yielding to the temptation of brlbe to desert
the Wing party. With Messrs. Morris, Goode.
and Stokeley, we have no personal acquaintance
They have always been highly respected Tor
purity and integrity of conduct. Two OF them,
Messrs Goode and Morris, are Ministers of the
Gospel, in good standing with their church, and
much esteemed in the Christian communities
where they live. The character and conduct of
none Of these gentlemen, we are sure. need any
yindica,ion where they are known. Their cleo
lion to Congress rnanitests, at least the estima-
ton in which they are held at home. The silly
charge of bribery cannot affect them there,
though The reckless ribaldry of a newspaper pa
ragraph may create prejudice against them
where their character and standing are un-
known.
How they have brought upon themselves the
rancor exhibited in some papers, we do not
know. Mr. Morris has publisheda letter which
has given offence; but the reason for supposng
that it WIS penned under the influence of a bribe
either given or promised, we have yet to learn.
How Messrs. Stokeley and Goode have sinned
we have not been positively informed. Rumor
says they have not been blindly obedent to eau
Gus dictation, or have declared that they would
not be blindly led. If such be the fact, and
man of unimpeachabe character in truth is TO
be charged with bribery, because he would not
be, heart, soul and mind, 'collar- man." the
People will soon learn to place their true value
on caucus legislation and on partisan accuse
lions.

COMPROMISE.

The Tariff question has now got into the tide
of debate in the House of Representatives, as
fully as the various currents of opinion, preju-
dice, and interest will permit. We feel but ht-
tie inclination to enter the vortex of this long
yexed question. We have our opinions upon it,
and we trust that they are sound-what we be-
leve to be abstractedly right, we are willing
to bend as far as possible to the rules OF expe-
diency. We will not be too fond of the right to
pursue the expedent, as long as the expedient
is not inconsistent with what is right The abb
stract principles of mathematics, when applied
10 physics, must bend to experiment. The
principles of the operation of the lever are subject
ed to variation from the first.principles We think
that the same must hold in civil poty. We
but wish reciprocation of liberality. We
have endeavored to impress the necessity OF
some rule Of compromise which may reconcile
conflicting interests. Our Government was
originally a system of compromise, and it must
be carried out on the same principle. The ad-
yocate OF protection and the advocate OF free
trade may be both regarded as abstractionists
There is middle ground on which they may
meet, and amcably settle their differences.
That ground we have already endeavored to vim
dictate. We do not say it is the only one. Ii
another should be selected by both with due
respect to a strict construction OF the constitution
and the interests of the 10hole country; we are
not disposed to quarrel with it. We will exam
inc it impartialy, form and pronounce our opin-
ion with feelings, as far as possible, unbiased
We have but the hope that some concession will
be made by the moderate of all parties-so that a
union of sentiment being formed-we may be
saved from the apprehensions which experience
prognoslicates difference on this question must
cause.

TRIAL OF MUNROE EDWARDS.


This renowned parsonage, honored no
little by the military title of Colonel, and
not less distinguished for the more appro.
pirate & fashionable appellalions, ofgreat
furger and villain, was tried before the court
of Oyer and Termincr in the C!iy of New
York, during the week before last. and af
ter long and patient investigation, con-
victed.
The case was given to the Jury at half
past four o'clock on Monday afternoon.
and they returned into Court at ten o'clock
on the following morning with verdict of
GUILTY. The New York papers general
ly, which had an opportunity to become
acquainted with the nature ofthe evidence
submitted during the trial, pronounce the
verdict TO be a most righteous one, though,
from the conflicting testimony procured it
is believed by bribery, there had existed
much doubt as to what would be the re-
suit. When the verdict was announced.
the prisoner turned little pale, and aske
for snuff, which he used freely, endeavor-
ing the while 10 appear entirely uncon-
cerned.
The punishment is Imprisonment for
not less than two nor more than five years.
As this trial has caused considerable ex-
element in N. York and some sensation
throughout the country, itmay not be un-
