THE SUSPENSION OF THE Banks.

The pressure and arrangement in the
monetary affairs Of the cities. resulted in
the suspension Of specie payments by the
Philadelphia Banks, on Saturday last
The stoppage Of the Pennsylvania Bank was,
perhaps, the principal cause in Philadelphia.
The country Banks must necessarily follow,
as it would be impossible for them to sustain
themselves while the city Banks are in a
state of suspension. There are no better
or safer banks than those in our neghbo.hood
and none will more regret the measures which
has been thus forced upon them.
The Governor has issued his proclamation
for an extra Session of the legislature to
meet on Tuesday uext. Consequently the
old members will meet, but the Session must
expire on the day Of the election, the 18th
instant.

THE MONEY MARKET.

Governor Pollock came into tho city on
Saturday afternoon, in compliance, as is un-
derstood, with q request Of some Of our prin-
cipal business men, with the view Of consulta-
tion as to means Of relief from the un-
fortunate and very inconvenient condition OF
things resulting from the recent suspens sion
by the banks. A committee Of gentlemen
waited upon him ir the evening, and reques-
led call Of an extra session Of the Legislature
lie expressed sympathy for the public in the
present condition Of ahnirs, and is willing to
do what he con in the premises. An extra
session will probably be called, and some pro-
position submitted that will relieve innocent
parties from very distressing position.

CHARLES II. BUCKALEw.

On Saturday last the Senatorial Conierees
after numerous ballotings, nominated the Hon
Charles r. Buckalew for Senator for this dis.
trict, composed Of the counties Of Northum.
berland, Snyder, Columbia and Montour
We need hardly say that the nomination
gives entire satisfaction and that the confer.
ees could have made no nomination that would
have been more warmly received in this
county and the district.
Mr.. Buckalew has been in the State Senate
six years and for the last three years has
been considered the leading man in that
body. His abilities are of the highest order
whilst his modest and unpretending deport
ment is only equalled by his merits. In the
Borough of Sunbury, we predict, he will
receive the largest vote ever polled for thai
Office.

BRISoISo THE CRor FoRwARD.-Amid the
thousand and one panaceas suggested as
cause for the present financial troubles, the
only certain one appears to be to hurry
forward the vast crop Of the country.
Nobody doubts that the country is rich in
agricultural produce, or supposes that its
embarrassment is chronic one. The excess
Of importations over sxporis-about which
SO much is said-has not yet gone far enough
to impoverish the nation hopclessly. The
goods which we bought abroad have come to
hand, and have been principally paid for,
while the wheat which we have been growing
has hardly begun to be turned into cash.
The failure Of giant company, in this emer-
gency, has created pabic, and hence the f.
| nancial troubles.
1t is true, We have run into debt deeper
than common; that the New banks, taking
fright, have contracted suddenly; and that
the banks elsewhere, following the great law
Of self-preservation, have initiated this con-
traction. But, after all, we are far from be.
ing ruined. The West owes the East; the
East owes Europe; and il the first pays of
| the, debt 60 can the last. Now tn, Wss', SO far
from being insolvent, was hardly ever richer
| 1t has the greatest crop il has had for years
That crop is wanted by consumers, both in
the Atlantic States and in Europe. Alrea
| dy wheat is at such a price abroad that it viii
pay to ship it to Liverpool. It's, therefore
in this crisis, as good as gold. A million o.
dollars worth Of wheat, brought from the
West, is equivalent to million Of specie Ian
ded from California. 1t will wipe cut debt te

THE BANK EXCITEMENT.

At very early hour on Saturday the ex-
citement in regard to monetary affairs and
the course Of the banks was renewed 1t first
manifested itself in the market houses, and
arose from the fact that the farmers, who had
come to the city to sell their produce, refused
to take the notes of any of the banks, without
single exception. All demanded specie ;
which many were destitute Of, and were put
to very serious inconvenience to obtain
The general belief that all the banks had
concluded to suspend specie payments, no
doubt, induced the farmers to refuse the notes
Most. If not all, Of the victuallers, pursued a
different course. They only rejected the
notes Of the Pennsylvania and Girard banks
All others were freely taken, which had q
somewhat tranquizing effect. AS the hour
for opening the banks approached, groups
gathered in their vicinity, and the panic, as
on the day before, was the subject of earnest
discussion. 1t was evident that many who
formed the crowds were there from curiosity
alone. As soon as it became known that
most OF the banks designed to redeem their
hVe dollar issues, the excitement, to very
