which were all well attended, both DAY and night :,
during this period and we understand with simi.

feeling Of sympathy we observe the course and un-

churches in their exertions to secure the future
welfare of their fellow beings, by their unremi,,lng
labor, during the excitement, which has been ex-

Small Notes.

We are glad to see, that Mr.. KidJer OF the Sen.
-hc has reported hin, srhorising the Banks to
issue small hills, redeem ibe IN specie, on demand
The Relief notes will under the fate act. disappear
rapidly. and as they are the almost exclusive cur
rcncy of the country, some immediate substitute
should he made to supply the vacuum ocrasioned
by iaeir loss. Unless this is done, business must
come TO stand. Had our banks been enabled ss
issue small his, we do nos believe the las, sus-
pension would hsve taken p,sce. vtwss the small
bills alone that saved the banks Of the State of
New York from suspension, most Of which are
speak on the subject, approve Of the measure. We
are conden, that We spesk the sentiments Of nine.
tenths Of the community, in saying that this mes.

unpopular, suony the people. In their tendencies
and nature, they are opposite as the poles. The
nc, which gave the banks the privilege Of issuing
Relief iIls also granted them the privilege Of un.
limieJ suspensions for Eve years. The present
bill, as wesundersand il, requires the Banks to re-
sumo, upon which condition they will be permitted
to issue small bills payable in specie. These small
bills will of course b. at par throughoui the state
and csn be converted into silver at any ,ime where.
as the Relief bills never convertible into any.
thing but state stock, which now sells for less than
half its par value. The one is a measure for the
resumption Of specie payments, and The circulation
Of specie and specie funds the other was mea
sure for the suspension of specie payments, and the
introduction and circulation of irredecmable shir
plas,crs, in their value, as huctu,,ing as the wind
We trust the legislature will act promptly and de-
cisivey upon the matter. There is but one opinion
in the community upon the subject, and tina, opinion
is in favor Of the measure. In Shamokin, we un
