The Ngw ENGLAND BANKs.--We ask the
attention Of our readers in distant parts Of
tho country, to the certificates in another
column, in regard to the paper currency Of
New England. There seems to be n misap-
prehension on the part of many persons at
the West, respecting the safety of the Bank
issues of Boston and New England. An un-
favorable contrast is made between the bills
OF the Boston and New York banks, on ac-
count of the basis Of State stocks for the lat
ter.
BY the laws Of Massachusetts, (Stat. lei9,
Chap. 80, See. 3l.)
When any bank shall stop payment the
stockholders are liable in proportion TO their
stock fer tho redemption Of the bills Of the
bank. Stockholders who transfer their
stock to avoid the liabilities, are still liable.
Stockholders who have reasonable cause to
believe the bank insulvent, and who within
SIX months previous to the expiration OF the
charter, transfer their stock to avoid liabil.
ity, are still liable.
The certificates above referred to. as We
understand the matter, are published, as
some difficulty has been experienced in dis
tant places in passing Boston money at the
hotels and railway stations. Mng We ask
our editorial friends in western cities to call
public attention to this subject, as It is i'm

cial embarrassment Bost. Transcript,

The Albany Journal offers the following
suggestions
Pay UP rue GRAIS.-The banks in New
York owe the holders OF their circulating
notes. The city merchants owe the banks.
! The country merchants owe the city mer-
chants. The farmers owe the country mer-
chants. Neither at the western end, nor in
the middle, If this linked chain Of debt, is
there any money. So It's continuity is un-
broken.
The suspension Of specie payment at the
eastern eud Of the chain has made its weight
rest lightly all along its length. But there
Is a limit 10 this suspension. When this ia
reached, the banks will peremtorily say ''pay
up - Their debtors will pass this word Of
command TO those who stand next to them
in the long line of credit, and from these i,
Will go among the wheat stacks, and finally
reach the farmers. Their grain is literally
golden. 1t wil! pay debts, and pass current
in trade from Illinois to New York.
10 the extent Of the agricultural debt in
the West, this grain should immediately be
moved. 1t is superabnndant. There exists
no necessity for boarding it MS food. As
circulation, 1t is duty to start it on its
bcneheent Journey OF debt. paying and the
resurrection Of business. If the sense Of
right does not bring to market this quantity
Of grain, justice should coerce its payment,
and even the balances between the merchants
OF the prairie States and farmer customers,
lis autumn. The hour is flying swiftly to-
ward US when the lakes, canals and rivers,
viii be locked against commerce. The press
should unite in demand upon the Indebted
West to pay up the grain IL will relieve
from bankruptcy, and may avert a famine.

The history of the battle, of which this is a

sailed from Portsmouth, y. H., on cruise.
On the fifth day, after chasing one vessel
into Portland, she fell in with the British

after an action OF forty five minutes. Early
in the action Burrows fell mortally wounded.

Progress In kansas.

An immense assemblage Of people gathered
in Lecompton, on the day appointed for the
assembling of the Border Rutian Constitu-
tional Convention. The crowd was organized
BY the appointment Of Chairman, and after
several speeches, resolutions were adopted
named Constitutional Convention.
The resolutions utterly repudiate the Con-
yention, and deny that the members are, in
any sense, agents or representatives of the
people of Kansas, and affirm that they were
tools Of the border rufian invaders OF the
territory, who seek, by force and fraud, to
control the permanent institutions of tho
State 10 the future, as they have its actual
legislation and administration in the past.
The Convention, in tender consideration
of their sacred persons, did not assemble on
the day appointed; but the troops from other
portions Of the territory were ordered to
Lecompton, and We presume that the Con-
vention will assemble, and under the pro-
lection Of the bayonets Of United States SOL
dicrs, frame Constitution for the people of
Kansas.
It is a most remarkable spectacle in this
free country to see the Representative of
the people, met to Francs Constitution for
the State, under the necessity Of calling in
the aid Of the army Of the United State, to
protect them against the very people whom
they rel resent, and for whom they are pre-
pairing form Of government.
The Declaration of our Indie pendence as
sefts that government derives its Just power
only from the consent Of the governed but
our Democratic Administration repudiates all
such 'glittering generalites.'' and send an
army to protect set Of graceless usurping
scouudrels in the act of making Constitu-
ton for people which has just repuiated
them and their principles By an overwhelm-
ing majority.
The Border Ruihaus have exhausted their
ingenuity and their strength in the effort TO
govern Kansas on thsir own hook, aud have
been fooled on every hand and now tho Uni.
ted States comes " fally and openly TO their
ass'stence to impose q Constitution on Kan
sas under the terrors Of martial law and
United States bayonets.
