Paul Leidy.

We last week briefly announced the fact
that Paul Loidy, Esq, of Montour county
had been nominated as the democratic
candidate for Congress i'll the district
composed of the counties Of Columbia
Luzerne, Moutour and Wyoming. The
struggle was somewhat protracted, but tie
result is one highly creditable to the people
of the District.
Mr.. Leidy is comparatively a young
man, but lis position a5thc Bar of Montoul
county, among lawyers of tue professional
standing of Comfy, Badly, and the lament
ed Montgomery, is high and firm. lie has
reached this point in politics by no mean
arts or devices, he has bowed to no popular
clamor, lcagued with none of the wire
workers of party; but by the force of high
moral and christian character, through the
absolute confidence In his ability and in
tegity Of every man in community, he
has outstripped all competitors.
A self made man in the true sense of the
term, rising from the ranks of the people
with no adventitious advantages of birth
connections nor fortune; he began active
life as Teacher of Common School, and
devoting his leisure to the study Of the
noble and elevating science OF the law
came in due time to the Bar; and from
that day to the present, by a close, prompt
honest, and faithful discharge of his duties
personal, professional and social, he has
acquired for himself Il reputation among
his neigLbors and constituents that any mai
might envy.
Mr.. Leidy has never been an office seeker
Almost against his consent he was forced
10 accept the post of District Attorney o
Montour county; but while an active and
influential member of the rank and file o.
the party, he has never aspired to be {
leader. But that be will lead the column
gallanty, and in Congress represent u
ably, no man doubts. He is gentleman
of great industry, sterling sense, and sount
Judgment; qualities more especially ne
cessary in member of the lower house 0
Congress.
Modest and uuassuming in his deport
ment, his cool head and high characte
must make his influence felt wherever h
is known. Not Il noisy, but an able mem
ber, not a talking, but an acting one W
predict for Mr.. Leidy ealoer of useful
ness and honor.

Constitutional Amendm ents

We trust our friends will not forget the
necessity of casting full vote on the pro.
posed amendments to the Constitution of
the State. 1t is true they seem to meet
with general favor, at least we have seen
no active canvass against them in any part
of the State; but it is of the first Importance
that they receive very general support,
and thus become an invincible check upon
the reeklessuess of corrupt politicians.
These amendments are not party mat
ter. Our citizens are all interested in
them, and we hope they will see that the
vote is general, not confined to localities or
parties.
There are four alterations proposed, and
they will have to be voted on separately,
that is, on four tickets. They are -
l. In relation to the creation of Public
Debts:
2. In reference to the erection of new
counties:
3. In relation to the Legislative Appoint
ments, and the election in certain cases OF
Representatives by single districts:
/. In relation to charters Of incorpora-
ton, proposing to give the Legislature
power to alter and revoke any charter when
deemed necessary.
The manner of voting is described and
regulated by the Act of May 18th, 1857
Pamphlet Laws, page 467; and care ought
to be taken by Editors, to print the ticket:
conformably to the regulations there made
We hope the citizens of Columbia county
will not lose sight of these, in their yea
for the other matters claiming their atten
ton, on the day of the election.

Gov. Pollock and the Banks,

In another column of our paper will be
found the Proclamation of Gov. Pollock,
calling an extra Session of the Legislature,
to convene at Harrisburg on Tuesday, the
9th day of October, In this case, the
session of the Legislature can last only fee
days, and any action Of that body, must of
necessity be hasty; and any person who
remembers the performances of last winter,
will naturally conclude that it will tie inju-
dicious. No man in the State has any
confidence in the moral character of u
majority of that body, and what object the
Governor can have in view, in calling it
together, we are at loss to conjecture.
What wise and judicious system could
any Legislative body mature and perfect in
all its details, in five days! None. Why
not wait, therefore, few days longer, and
call the Legislature about to be elected, to
his counscls, take their advice, assist in
their action, and permit them to sit so long
time as the present financial crisis, de-
mandsl We believe this hasty and i'll.
advised course on the part Of the Governor,
is of piece with his well known bank
policy; and those who yet remember the
facility with which all sorts of banks were
chartered, in all sorts of places, by the
body of men, now again called into life
and vitality, by the Governors Proclama-
ton, will tremblc to think of the hands
into which, in this great monetary crisis,
we arc falling.
We say again, it is impossible even to
conjecture what course the Banks will force
the Governor, and induce the Legislature
to take; but we greatly fear that the result
will be to legalize, because it will mean
that, The suspension Of specie payments by
the banks. If so, when are we to reach
the end of these financial difficulties II
banks knowing the result of suspension,
conduct their business in such manner
that in any event, a suspension becomes
necessary, ought they lot to be held re-
sponsible for such result to themselves, and
is it good policy to relieve them of the
consequences We think not, and we
believe the people will so decree. Since
the fiat has gone forth, may good councils
guide them.

perior fitness for the post. lie has already

the opinion of every man in the State, the

The Extra Session.

The Governor has called an extra session
of the Legislature, to devise some relief to
the present financial troubles. The efforts
of the members when they meet should be
directed to resumption of specie payments
at the earliest practicable period. An
indefinite suspension would be an extended
evil. The community believe tina. suspen-
sion has boon forced upon the banks as a
temporary measure, and sound policy should
induce the banks so to regard it, and use
every means in their power to place them
selves in a proper position by resuming at
the earliest day.
The Presidents of the various banks,
yesterday, held meeting, and decided
upon the following important measures -
! l. A suspension of specie payments on
all notes, large and small. ?. The prompt
issue of their own notes of the smaller de-
nominations, for checks, and all other
obligations against them. 3. An increase
of Discount to their customers, with the
object of ailording immediate relief.
In regard to the third proposition, there
may be different opinions as different de
sires actuate those that entertain them. i
is not calculated to effect an earl y resum
ption, and the Legislature should authorize
no movement which will tend to della,
beyond limited and reasonable pcrioC
that desirable event. 1t is manifest to til,

resume till they have reduced their business
