Hardly ever does one Of these scoundrels

With the clergy as individuals we have
nothing to do, nor shall we make ourselves

We are their friends-because we know
how ,inestimable morals and love of or

because it is impossible to ignore the infn-
ence of the clergy in maintaining private
virtue, and in teaching people to be law
abiding. Every church is centre of light.
We care not what the peculiar doctrinal
dogmas may be which are there set forth;
the neishborhood is the better for the
presence of that church, and for the exer-

knew village to grow worse in conse-

FINAsCIUL DocToRs DIsAGREB.-Thc
following paragraphs, taken from late num-
bers Of the N. Y. Tribune and Herald, Of
the same date, exhibit remarkable differ
ence of opinion in financial matters.
The N. Y. Tribune says: ~ -s.g.
The weekly bank statement is unexpec-
tedly favorable in the specie line, showing
a loss of only S63S,oo from the previous
wet k, after foreign and Sub-Treasury
drain of nearly sl,1Oo,oOo. The increase
in the line of loans is very large, and the
point now reached. nearly 119,oOO,ooo
NAV we'll excite some fears for the future
The increase is three millions eight hun.
dred thousand dollars since the present
month came in. The deposit line shows
but little change, the undrawn amounts
being $67,367, 900 against S67,005,000
The interior bank balances, we understand
are increasing. There have also been con
siderable receipts of coin from the interior
and neighboring cities during the week ii
settlemet of balances, which has counter
acted the calls for specie for shipment.
| On the other hand, the Herald make;
the following discouraging analysis:
This statement cannot be considered
otherwise than a very unfavora'.le one.-
/ With an increase in discounts of nearly
million and a half. we have an increase il
deposits of-only $4,000. With this w
have falling off in the specie reserve 0
more than s6oO,eoo The banks, it ap
. pears to us, are placing themselves in a Pc
sition of great weakness. and endangerins
the great interests of, the country. Th'
present expansion must result in yer.
large and rapid contraction. 1t will b
seen by the above table, that from Angus
/ SO to November 2, last year, the line o
discounts fe!! off about eight millions o
dollars. We must look out, for in the cor
responding period this yea, a decrease il
loans of much larger amount. ~
