a HARD RAP.-The Washington Sentinel,
speaking of the disturbances which occurred at
the late meeting of national democrats in that
city, says: "A most disgraceful scene was pre-
scented, but it was the legitimate result of Mr..
Guthre's course. When the head of the treas
ury enters tho political ARENA in order to sustain
the condnct of Van Buren, and Cochraue, back
ed up by a band of hullies and blackguards at
Syracuse, IT is net to be wondered at that govern
ment' officers and official expectants should at
tempt to'break mp democratic meeting in the

GENTLEMEN II regret that engagements,
which cannot disregard will prevent me from
accepting your polite invitation, TO be present at
meeting, to he held at New Glasgow, on the
18th inst, for the purpose of awakening the peo-
pie along the line, to the importance of the pro-
posed extension of the Orange and Alexandria
Railroad 10 Lynchburg 1t would afford me
great qualification, to meet my felow-citizens,
who will be assembled ON that occasion and to
unite with the friends of the enterprise in earnest
efforts, to secure the success of the great work
which is before us.
The success of the work rests, in no small de-
gree upon the people Of Amherst, Nelson, and
Albemarle; and XSur proposed meeting, added
to the zeal already eyineed by them, gives ASST
rance that the citizens Of the two counties first
named are fully aroused to the responsibility of
their position, and determined to do their duty.
! trust and believe that the influence of Your ex-
ertions will not be lost ON Albemarle but that in
due season she will rouse herself from her appa-.
rent lethargy, and come up to the fulillment of
her duties, with the same spirit which is now ami
mating her sister counties. A large subscription
ON the part Of counties and individuals will be
the most telling argument which can be address
ed to the legislature in favor of State assistance.
and that assistance we must have. Looking to
its connection with other improvements, | have
long regarded the =" Extension " of the Orange
and Alexandria Railroad as one of the most i'm
portant schemes which have, las yetinvited the at

The following. We are assured, Is from one 81
tho hest informed men in the country. We e1-
tract IL from the able letter Of the New York cor
respondent of the National Inteligencer:
~ have been carefully observing the signs
and Indications here for the last few days aud am
convinced that The worst i OYER. and that relief
10 the pressure will be certain and prompt. Ny
reasons for 50 thinking are
lst. The great bill sellers have reduced their
rates TO 81 and ~ per cent, which will check the
export of specie, AZ no advantage attends the
shipment Of gold at that rate Of exchange aud
whit are called produce bills arc selling at
oven eight per cent.
I'd. The Southern produce bills are now begin
ming 10 come forward in large amounts, and will
tend 10 reduce the rates still further, and will
compel the bill drawers Of this city to follow the
decline.
Sd. Two and half millions Of gold are hourly
expected in steamers now due, and as much
moro will probably arrive before the lst of De
ecmbcr, which will stick here, Us there will be no
export demand for it,
lth The weekly bank statement, published
yesterday, shows an increase Of two millions IN
their posts, and one million in specie, with a
reduction in their discount Of only SlOO000.
This will inspire confidence, Which Is the great,
indeed the only thing now requred and the cur
tailmcuts will not only coase, but there will in
the current week probably be an expansion.
18th. Not only is the cotton crop going forward
from the South, but there immense massses
ofproduce going from this port at very high
rates, and high freights, both Of which swell up
the amount Of European funds 10 be drawn for.
9th The importatons are already falling off,
and will continue to do very rapidly and large
~, operating in double ratio, by lessening both
the amount required for foreign remittances,
and the amount Of gold required here for payment
of the duties. The receipts of the Sub-treasury
from this hitter source for the next three months
will probably fall much short of the outgoing,
and will reduce the balance on hand TO some
thing like former amounts.
Other CAUSES might be mentioned which favor
an early relief to the money market, but think
the preceding ones are sufficient, and that the
present month"; if il does not exhibit an abundance
OF money, will at least give adequate relief
and make things comparatively easy.
The banks, and the community of New York,
have certainly exhibited great soundness and
ability under the recent state of severe and sud
den pressure.
We hope the opinions and predictions of the
writer may all turn out to be true, for it is full
time that the present condition of monetary af
fairs should be altered for the better. Why the
extreme :fightness' which has prevailed should
have existed at all, has never been satisfactorily
explained; but why it should be relieved is mat
ter that comes home'to the business and bosoms
of men,"
