A BANK NOTE PANIc.-Ona Of the legi,.
innate consequences of the small note law
became apparent here on Friday and Salur-
day last, ,tf
For The past month, brokers and shavers
have been engaged in buving up all foreign
bank bills they could procure, Of less demon.
ina.ions than ten dollars, and sending them
home for redemption in specie. Such rush
has been made upon few Of The banks
nearest the Ohio line that they have been
compelled 10 supend specie payment. AS
soon as this has been ascer,ained, forthwith
everybody who has dollar on any Of these
banks becomes alarmed, aud endeavors 10
rid himself Of this uncurrenl money. Fail.
ing TO do this, he .deligbls 10 torment his
neighbors with The doleful news Of The fail

I'VE have but a few remarks to make to

them. If,hese banks have really failed, and
you were ID possession Of the money a. The
