COMMERCIAL INrEGRITY-The N. Y. COu-

sentiments, suggested by the recent astounding
frauds in that city. Mr.. Schuyler has inflicted
blow upon the commercial interests Of the
country, for which be can never atone.

TALL BY his own dishonest instrumen s, hut his
fall does not expiate the blow upon he public
character There was bad fati, in the late
transactions, which wasa species Of commer-
c!a treason; and the judgment OF orr CONNER
cia men against it, severe as it Is, Is both just
and necessary. II is hard to bring friend who
has lived in the enjoyment Of univefSa. esteem

" hich all men deem to be noble,- is hard to

But our merchants know no friendship which

which should derogate from the ella nts of honor
They have Judged the act without reference to
personal considerations, and as il stands in its
ov n inherent wrongfulness. There are no mo-
tives, and no expectations, which they will
| accept as paIliaiing the offence There is no
commercial morality which is rot as inflexbe
as the rules Of ari hmetic no cnmT ercial hon
esty which is not as invarable as the result of
correct balance-sheet. The morality and the
honesty which do not come up to this standard
are spurious and worthless. The shock which
the late frauds have excited is the best of all
proofs Of the elevation OF OUT commercial char
acter and the severity of the condemnation
demonstrates the strictness of our commercial
principles, and the universally with which they
are recognized There is no surer test Of up
rightness than its instructive indignation against
wrong.
