this is upon the idea that the Union will be

Union of States cannot stand aud if once

now at crisis. Nothing can sqve the Union

aud every State assemble its Legislature,
and let the Legislature assemble a Conven-

let them so state. Let Congress by law, APP
point day for The people Of every State TO
vote whether they will withdraw Or remain
in the Union. Should any State desire to go
out, let her do so with the same formality
that it came into the Union. Let all this be
done calmly, coolIy and dispassionately
Let us convince the world that we are capa-
bic of sefgOvernment. Let no weapon be
used but that of reason. Let prudence and
wisdom control and govern in all things.

dent that according to the Constitution the
Union has long since been dissolved, but the
people being power above the Constitution
have kept it together. Does not this show
their good sense and forbearance? The ques-
ton now is will the people any longer hold
a government together that is not So held lay

GENTLEMEN: l have the honor to acknow-
ledge the receipt of your communication, ask
ing my opinion, as one of the financial officers
of the State
F7rst-As to the condition of the Banks
.SecOnd-As to the proper remedy to relieve
the country of its unprecedented pecuniary
endorsements
If, as a citizen merely, it would be my duty
TO give you the benefit of whatever informa-
ton | might possess, much more is it my
duty when applied to in my official character.
Your estimate of the pecuniary condition of
the country, gloomy as it is falls far short of
the reality. In the discharge of my official
duties, l have visited many OF the cities, towns
and counties of the State, and in examining
the condition of the Banks, | necessarily
learned many facts relative to the pecuniary
condition of the communitiesin which they are
located. In addition TO which, have felt it to
be my duty to make inquiry everywhere | have
been, of the citZens disconnected with the
Banks;and the conclusion TO which have come
from information thus obtained, is, that unless
there is immediate relief from some source the
results will be wide spread bankruptcy, involv-
ing all classes of citiZens-a stop in the pro-
gress, if not the destruction, of every pubic
enterprise, and eliminating in actual want
upon the part OF those who depend upon their
daily labor for means of support.
1t is needless to stop to inquire into the
causes producing this condition of things. 1t
is enough TO know that it exists The two
great sources, however, are doubtless the sue
cessive failure of the crops and the political
temper of the times, bordering upon revolu-
ton. Other causes than these are but mere
rivulets, helping, nevertheless, to swell the en-
guiphing torrent.
The failure OF the productive resources is
sufficient of itself to produce pecuniary en-
barrassment The producing classes furnish
ing the true basis of all pecuniary operations.
there must necessarily be a diminution or an
increase in the circulating medium in exact
ratio with the diminution or increase of that
basis. A full crop is always followed by full
eurrency-a scarce crop by scarce currency
Banks, it is true, can and do furnish credits
by means of which the products of country
are moved from one market TO another, but
they never yet created or produced one dol
lar. These propositions, obvious as they are,
are presented to meet errors existing in the
minds of many equally obvious, 4. e.: that
the condition of the currency of country is
dependent upon the arbitrary action of the
Banks. lis true, that sometimes combina-
ton of influences is obtained by means of

NASHVILLE, Nov 81, 1860.
W. A QUARLEs, Esq, Supervisor of Banks:
Dear Ssr--In view of the political and
monetary storm which is at present sweeping
over the country, threatening destruction not
only to our political institutions, but also to
our fortunes, and which, if not checked by
some means, and that suddenly, no one can
foresee or foretell the consequences to result
With that fact staring us in the face, and know
ing that you from your connection with the
banking institutions of the country have bet
ter means of knowing what is really their true
condition than any one else, we call on you for
an expression of opinion as to what is best,
under the circumstances, to be done by the
banks in the emergency. Can t.ey stand up
under the prevailing storm, o. would it be bet
ter that they should at once suspend specie
PAYNE nts IN order that they may place them
selves in condition to give that aid, in a pc
cuniary way, which we all deem essential, not
only to the well being of the people, but to
their very salvation from utter ruin?
The only remedy which presents itself to
our minds is the one above Indicated that is,
an immediate suspension of all the Banks of
the State. Do us the favor to give us your
opinion of the subject, at your earliest conve
nience, and oblige,

A GLORIOUS SUNSET " csterday, Just as
the sun was kissing the tops of the Buttes
with his diurna parting salutation, the dome
of Heaven was lit with the most gorgeous
illumination that We have ever seen or con
ceived of, outside the creations of Ara bian
Tales The sky was full of clouds High up,
they lay piled in almost moveless bars or
masses, one above another, while the sun shot
through them with intense power, and they
fairly throbbed with a golden and a blood
red life and light; patches of ineffable blue
being visible in the interstices of the rich
embankments, like glimpses ola beautiful and
cloudless realm beyond. Underneath this
gorgeous arch the sullen clouds nearer the
earth glided upon the airy stream like dis
masted ships upon an ocean current. To see
everything so bright and glorious in the dome
above, and so dull and spiritess on the earth
and in its neigh6orhood, below, was a con,
trast too striking not to be Observed with

STARVING CATrLE.-We learn that many of
the cattle ranging through American town

late storm has no doubt contributed to this
end, as stock raisers provide no protection
for their tlocks and herds during the winter.
The early frosts and the lateness Of the rain
have robbed the grazing of every spear of
nutrment for cattle, aad they must now be
eorralled and fed, or die The season has
been very unlavorable for stock raiscrs.-
