MORIAIISTS.

MORIAIISTS.
The following extract il taken from lengthy editorial
article in the London Daily Telegraph of the 18th ut
the subject Of the memorial addressed to President Blu
.hanan by Professor Sman and the forty gentlemen Of
Connecticut who undertook TO instruct the President in
his official duty. The Telegraph speaks in plain and
forcblc of the folly Of the memoalists and its
article the noticeable from the fact that it appears
in journal entertaining strong antislavery views
the meInorialiss themselves The Telegraph, next to
the London Times has the largest circulation of any daily
journal in the British metropolis 1t is paper Of and
for the PEOPLE, and has always spoken favoably OF the
United States and the American people 1t says:
No one who has read the articles which have appear
cd from time time in this journal on the question OF
slavery will of supporting for one moment
system which have regarded with horror and ndgna
ton but we cannot help rebukng spirit Of aggression
the part of the Connecticut minister's seeing that the
sole ground of their dislike to Mr. buchanan policy IS
that he has not put down with strong hand the prosa
very party Kansas and thereby endangered the safety
and llbeing of the Union The fact is, that these
northern ccceastics would not hesitate to sacrifice the
best interests of their country to carry out their convic
tons and only restrained by their want OF influence
and power
ait Is to such men MS President Buchanan who, with
the genius of experienced dpoatis takes the whole
bearing of question: and dc not act upon partial prin
cples that the decision Of matter involving large
interest may most securely be ntrusted and we view
with sincere satisfaction the stern but quiet rebue which
he has given these sefconstuted councillors in his
ply and the statssmanlike in which he repudates
the charges brought against him. These mputations Of
such character that If true they ought to consign mis-
name to infamy the contrary he justly remarks
if they DO not true they must rebound with whitening
condemnation their authors 1t not light accuse
ton they prefer against the Chief Magistrate of their
country and with remarkable calmness and candor he
proceeds to disprove their allegations. =
.tIIad Mr.. Buchanan been the man to be inundated
he would not have been the person to rule twenty
eight millions Of free and enlightened subjects 1t not
usual for the chief yistIate of State to enter into
vndcaton Of his policy to private and obscure indvidu
ais. The President might have preserved dgnifed 81
lcncc, and allowed the results of his administration to
show the wisdom Of his acts He has, however yentured
with that courtesy which highly distinguishes him, to
reply to the charges brought against by Prof Sman
and his supporters; in his explanation he entirely refutes
their arguments and manests that true and liberal spirit
Of action which cannot but render his administration
beneficial to his countrymen and exat the name Of
America throughout the civilized world.

Itappears that the Marine Bank stopped by an in

the penalty of winding up, which attaches to

The Richmond Examiner (democratic)
concludes long article on the present pos
ture of Kansas affairs, as follows
1t is all the legitimate result OF attempting to
make, TO speak "a silk purse of sow's ear,
of attempting to constitute a sovereign State-a
law observing, order-lovinG constituton-respeeting
commonwealth, out of heterogeneous motley of
spectators, back-woodsmen, rowdirs and cut
threats. Kansas ought to b. ruled with a rod of
non and the strong arm OF imperial power for a
dozen years yet TO come, without much as a con-
stable being elected by "the people" (God save the
markD during the whole time. Then the polls
might be opened and the people # perfectly free
TO frame their own institutions in their own way"
Then there might be orderly, just and satisfac-
tory settlement of all vexed questions by competent
suffrage. There cannot be until then.
No greater cheat and swindle than the
execution of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, has
ever been attempted in this county. Great
as have been previous frauds of the "Na-
tional Democracy" this o'ertops and shades
them all.

The AragO, vi ich aIriv yesterday brings us
accon IS OF tn eff ct pro uced in Europe BIZ the
urse of the financial rrvusion In this country M
t. 9Th October II will be rem, mbered that at that
Il there were bnt few persons here who sa " so
far ahead as TO foresee the suspension Of the banks
it was not till the bank statem nj of Monday 18th
Ociooer, appeared that the design overthrow the
banks was formed: it was on TUESDAY, 18th, that
eighteen city barks closed their doors and shortly
before midnight of the SINE day that the general
resolution to suspend specie payments adopted
At the Clearing House Il is ik,ly, therefore, that
the private letters which went out in the Canada,
from HALIFAX on the 9Th, hell out DO prospect Of
the di-astera which occurred the week after.
Barring this in mind, the terror and excitement
which prevailed in Europe ct the time the Arago
left afford key to the probable consequences of
the later and more sltrmiug intelligence which the
English would receive within thu following week.
At Hamburg the rate of int, r.,.t ad been raised
to 81 at Pars to "; at London by tn bank to g. al
of them, We believe the liehCsi rates known dur
ing the present century But few mercantile or
financial failures bad yet occur, d. but the mcrcan-
tile community was trembling in suspense
The great su' ject of rIor iu England and on the
Continent appears 10 have been lest the gold should
b. diverted from its ordinary channels attracted to
this country. But could the t6e be checked :
With exchange at New York on England at SO a
1O2, L would reqlire the Bank of Engllnd to raise
the rate Tar above per cent. to prevent the ex-
portaton OF bullion to this country; 10 or l2 per
cent in1eed would only oppose temporary and in
tHtctua barrier. Nothing can prevent the export
OF specie from England this country but the res
toration Of commerce to its old channels exchange
on London must be worth 1O9 in New ork before
the tide will turn. That contamination has not yet
been reached.
II is obvious therefore that what the English
dreaded most when the Arago left will have since
beiallen them, and that from the 2lst October e
the 2Oth November, money will be steadily export
ed TO this country. How far that may affect trad.
or the bank remains to be seen. Without attempt
ing to prophecy, it may be said that the most net
ural Issue out Of the difficulty would appear to
suspension OF specie payments by the Bauk {
England.
