determined not 20 be astonish sd,-the efforts Of
Governor Hunt and his associates TO create an ex-
citement, proved failure-the church was not
ever two-thirds full-very little material aid was
raised-and Kossuth, heart sick NJ his i'll success,
win depart for Niagara to-day, in order to recruit
his shattered spirits.
We still enabled to keep the politicians aa-
vis,d OF all movements Of interest made by the va
rious parties throughout the country. The Mary
lard Wing Convention, which assembled yesterday.
passed strong compromise resolutions. and, at the
same tiuc did rot forget the venerable Hcary Clay,
to v hose services most fattering and we'll merted
tribute was paid. Only ono county sent Scott dele

Presidency, they odfd support any nominee who
was known TO bo sound on the adjustment measures

subject. before h, can the vote of Maryland.
Brief reports Of the proceedings of several religious

Baltimore yesterday.
Last evening a magnificent banquet was given to

Greeley was not there to do the humbug and drink

available funds to meet rush upon them, should
the brokers' make the attemptf Beddes, these
securities having been declared worthless, places
those bankers in dilemma fou which they should
he speedily extricated. They now come under the
head of unauthorized banks, and are, therefore,
subject to penalty Of one thousand dollars; besides,
II renders void all such securities and also vtiates
tho currency thus in circulation. At any moment,
each of the PERSONS engaged in issuing bills based
uIon tie revenue certificates is liable to have i'm
Iosod UPON him the fine mentioned in the general
banking law. 1t cannot be expected that the people
viii suffer this unlawful species ofbanking to pro-
coed selfpotcction will justify the return OF
those hills 10 the counters whence they cmanate.
Besides, strong rumor exists thnt the Commits
tioners Of the Canal Fund will shortly issue instruc-
sns to collectors Of tolls, to reject all bills offered
in payment at their Offices, of those banks standing
upon the sandy foundation of revenue certificates;
and il the State officers shall refuse this species OF
paper. viii not the people be amply justified in re-
Iudiating it also!
Again--the lastLegisature, in anticipation that
the completion of the canals would proceed under
the law Of 1861 made provision for the use of the
remainder Of the surplus revenues towards keeping
the canals in repair for the coming fiscal year AS
matters now stand, not dollar of that fund which
accrued in 1851, can be appropriated, unless
provision is made by law before tho end Of the fiscal
year-the :0th of observation-disclosures the constitu-
ton declares that such surplus shall be appropriated
during the fiscal year in which it was created. So,
it will be perceived that the next Legislature will
have no control over it.
These are among the reasons why we believe that
Governor Hunt will be perfectly justifable in calling
an extra session. His party friends have, no doubt,
advised him to pursue different course, believing
that political capital will be made out Of refusal.
The great mass Of the people, who are not political
demagogaes, and have the welfare of the State ut
heart, are not willing that the affairs of the State
shall be thus blocked, to crafty the aspirants Of
any political clique whatever

our bone and flesh of our flesh, and bread supplies
fuel to the flame Of human life; but no number of
cattle or loavcs can make the machinery and

Just so the Germans constitute supply OF fuel to
