THE NEW PARTY.

The Memphis appeal makes the following COM
ments upon an article from the Richmond E5lgaireg
which we published few days ago. We usually
agree with the Appeal but have never more cordi-
ally concurred with it than we do In its apprecia-
ton of the Enguirer's article: ....
THE NEW PARTY AGAIN-We observed, several
days since that several OF our contemporaries OF
the Wing press had fallen into the error of attrbu-
ting to the Richmond Enquire, sentiments hostile
to the Administration in the. Bronson Attain. We
had carefully noted the columns of that excellent
and able paper and totally failed TO discover the
first sentence that could be tortured or perverted
into an expression alien TO the President or his cab
net in that affairs We think the subjoned lucid
article, on the game that is now being played out
by portion of the foes of the President viii set
the Enquirer in a right attitude before the public,
at the same time that it lays bare the motives and
design of the selfish and unprlnciped cabal who are
plotting the overthrow of the Democratic party,
and the formation Of a new party on its ruins.
The people of the South fully understand the plo5,
which is only the sequel to a similar movement in
1851 and they viii surely mark and brand the
uameSterS.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The Association reassembled at Two O'Clock, in
the Old South meeting house. The attendance wa
very large. Mr. jackson took The Chair at the time
appointed, and the meeting proceeded to discuss the
resolutions which all unanimously adopted.
Resolved That this change Of sentiment is both
manifested and accelerated by the frequent and earn
appeals now making, throughout the country :,
urging Christians withdraw their support from
ecclesiastical and voluntary associations that instead
of rebukng oppression, allow the weight of their in.
nuencc to be cast in its favor, and that il is matter
Of congraluIaion that these appeals aie neither

numbers bursting their ecclesiastical and political
bonds, relieve themselves Of the responsibility So

Resolved, That while we reDice In the action

sent into them at late hour, requiring the clerks
TO work Enu an unreasonable hour, they had de-
cided after the Isl Of October, 10 receive no for
eign money after II o'clock.
The other banks, Immediately on the appear
ance of this circular, called a meeting, and yes
lerday the Presidents of the various Banking In.
stitutons in the city, convened at the Merchants
Bank building 10 consult as to what course it was
best 10 pursue in the matter The grievance Of
not allowing all the foreign money received dur
ing the hours Of business, to be assorted and
counted on the same day, was duly discussed,
and after considerable consultation, committee,
of which Andrew 4. Hall, ESQ.,, Of Merchants
Bank, was appointed chairman, were instructed
TO notify the Suffolk Bank to withdraw their cir
cular, and to receive all foreign money from the
Banks up TO two o'clock, or else the Boston Banks
should all withdraw their special deposit, and
Immediately organize new bank under the Gen.
eral Banking Law, to redeem the bills of all the
New England Banks.
The Boston Banks have about $500, 900 de-
posted with the Suffolk Bank, to pay them for
redeeming foreign money, and this it is proposed
to withdraw, as capital for the new institution
Considerable feeling seemed TO exist Nth regard
to the matter, it being thought that the profits of
the Suffolk Bank from the foreign money depart
ment, would warrant the employment of enough
clerks 10 do the woik.--Boston Traveiler.

SYMPATHY Strengthened BY YEARS.
There are few persons known 10 in years long
past, but with whom lived in no particular intimacy
them and have held no correspondence since, whom
l could not now meet without an emotion of pleasure
deep enough TO partake Of pain, and who, | doubt
not, entertain for me feelings Of the same kind and
degree; whose eyes sparkle when they hear, and
gIslen sometimes when they speak of me; and who
think Of me as do Of them, with affection that
increases as we advance in years. This is because
moral and intellectual sympalhies have strength
ened, and because, though far asrnder, know that
we are travelling The sa ne road toward Our resting
place in Heaven. "There is such pleasure as
this" says COwper, "whch would need explanation
10 some folks, being perhaps a mystery to those
whose hearts are a mere muscle, and serve only for
the purposes Of an even circulation Somhey.
