BANK SUSPENSIONS.

BANK sUsPENsIoNS.
Probably there was clause Of the constitution Of
1886 to which the great body Of its friends attached
less importance when they gave it their suage than
the sixth section Of the eighth article which reads as fol-
lows:
The legislature shall have power 70 pass any law
sanctionin in any manner directly Indirectly the sus
pension OF specie payments by any person assocAnon o
corporation Issuing notes OF any description
when this provision was incorporated into fundA
mental law few believed the time would ever come when
the legislature could again be tempted to repeat the folly
of legalizng suspension of specie payments Perhaps
they were correct in that belief and yet we should
profit little by past experience or by the
current experience Of other States, If we under-est
mated the importance Of such prohibition IN the pres
ent crisis With all reasonable confidence in the fidelity
and rmness of our New York bankers, confess to
feeling greater security with such barrier behind
them Bank directors are, in the first place all human
and therefore feel for their friends who are In trouble In
the next place they apt tobe engaged IN some KIND
of commerce. and therefore in times like these stand in
need OF bank facilities themselves and in the last
place. they are apt have creditors customers who
stand even more in need Of such facilities than they do
All these interests separate combined often much
greater than their interest in the stock of the institution
which they manage. Under such circumstances a bank
officer requires unusual mness to resist the temptations
accommodate those whose failure he would feel more
directly and severely than he would feel the failure
Of the bank But with such prohibition in the consti
tuition suspension is failure and failure is destruction
not only TO the banks but TO the merchants
Without this restriction who believes banks would
have been in so sound condition they to-day
Who believes they would have been able to furnish an
anchor at which all the eastern banks and ride
out the storm, they now promise TO do, in safety
How the credit and confidence of the country rallied
when 1t was ascertained that our banks were going
through Dispatches poured in from every point of the
compass: q. We can go if New York does not sus-
pend.
We never shall know how much longer it would have
taken US without this constitutional restriction to have
restabished the credit and confidence which already
s how much loss and damage spared to the coun
try consequence but thing already sufficiently
clearit has done much any other exercise Of human
foresight protect the country from general bankrupt
cy.
New York the first State to adopt this provision
and 1t has already worth to the whole country
than our national debt We cannot doubt after
cent experience but it viii be Incorporated into the
stutions all the States at the earliest practicable Pc
riod.

THE AMERICAN SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION DEFAL-
CATION

The pressure of the times has had the effect of bring
ing light rich doings in various quarters and of
revealing financial operations calculated to inspire OBJ
servers with great respect for the tact Of operating par
ties But the most important transaction Of which we
have yet heard has just been developed.
Mr. Frederick w. Porter, for thirty years past has
been the corresponding secretary of the American Sum
day School Union association whose influence extends
all over the United States Mr. Porter has always main
tanned the reputation of being strictly honorable bu
snes man. and has been nrused with the funds of the
society Over them he has had the most perfect control
keeping the books and managing affairs in bis way
1t now appears that Mr. Porter has deauded the nstu-
tion to the large amount of egyegh thousand sgh hun
dred aaa cghtyhhr1 dollars
The operations must have been carried on for years
past and with impunity the part OF Mr. Porter To-
wards him not the least particle Of suspicion i
reced and the discovery Of the affair took the
of the Union by surprise The deflcation done by
means Of and acceptanoes signed by Mr. Porter but
not entered on the books These and accepances
crisis it Is probable that they would have been dis
covered.
The society this morning issued card in which they
narrate Of the circumstances Of the case and further
state as follows
I'VE are happy to say that part of the funds APP
pear have been distracted have any part of the
contributions its benevolent objects been lost msa
Piled All the obligations of the society which have been
legitimateIy incurred have been, and will be- promptly
met The business viii not be seriously interrupted,
though in these painful circumstances shall need and
doubt not shall have the sympathy and liberal
aid Of numerous friends !"
The Washington union., 1857-10-02

taxes have increased seycod within the lAst ten yeArs
the canals, of pride and ahiuence 70 the
State impoverished and dependent upon direct taxes for
their proTcss and that cannot but feel that the
ample Of improyidenoe by the State has spread into
the business affairs Of people inviting them TO hAz
arous speculatons the anticipation Of future resources
by the present reckless expenditure, profuse debt and
the abuse Of credit and that call upon the people 70
remedy this state Of affairs by establishing sound and
economical financial policy at Albany.
ResolScd That the democracy Of this city await with
impatienee and eageness the moment when like giant
aroused they shall dash pieces the puny shield Of
patton which has been axed by centralized power To
their breasts.
ResOlusd That the question Of the hour with is the
restoration Of those municipal franchises which, by
dry acts OF insane legislature have been torn from
TO the detrment OF principles that support the base
and band the arch of all free goyernmentsa system 50
constituted that part cannot be weakened without
dangeTing the whole edifice; and, therefore,
ResOlued That the State ticket headed by the Of
Gideon j. Tucker a democrat sound able, earnest, and
ndefatigabe, and whom this great city loves 70
honor has herein peculiar claims regard and
promise for il majority that will convince foes that
the New York democracy know how TO punish treaehey
and reward and cherish honest merit
Resued That 10 those who have stood by and their
duty ia the of peril, who slandered, yiled,
peTsecued and betrayed have still had the high manly
virtue maintain the truth, through good report and
evil too tender the tribute OF the peoples thanks
they shall find found themfends in the drest
hour of need And, finally,
Resopsd That In the administration of the patriot and
sage James Buchanan we hail the dawn Of happier
era Its constitution and sentiments whenever express
ed remind US of the brightest days Of the republic ;
pedging to il hearty determined and steadst sup
port we in the trust that during the years Of its
mission country viii have begun to realize that lofty
destiny which has been predicted for it by the wise and
good Of every cline.
