Suspension of Specie Pay
ments.

The Phila. Ledger of the Odd says :
The banks of Philadelphia yesterday
resolved to suspend specie payments.
The political troubles of the country
have precipitated this measure upon
them and other banks Of the Union,
at time when the prospects ct the
country otherwise were favorable
The sectional issues which have been
raised have destroyed confidence be-
tween the North and South, suspended
trade, produced monetary embarrass-
ment, followed now by suspension OF
the banks. It is the first time in the
history of our country that the choice
of President has produced conse-
quenees so wide spread and serions.
Tt needs all the prudence, good sense
and wise management of the country,
to arrest the mischief where it is.
The suspension, though it has come
suddenly upon the community, seems
TO be generally regarded as necessary
in the present condition of affairs. -
How long it will continue will depend
probably upon the action of the Lee
gislature, which meets in January
next. Between now and then the
members will be better advised of the
course of action necessary to pursue,
for the movements, politically, which
have caused the suspension, will then
he better developed. In 1857 when
the last suspension occurred, the Le-
gislature assembled Immediately in ex-
ira session and legalized the act of the
banks for six months. But the same
necessity for an immediate assembling
of the Legislature does not now exist.
Nobody seems disposed to press the
banks at this time, and all appear to
acquiese in the suspension as an una
voidaule measure, which a. favorable
turn in the political aspect of affairs
may render of only short duration.

RECoINAGE OF OLD CENTS. The

THE SOUTHERN STATES, not inclu-
ding Delaware, owe as State debts
the sum of 1871, 100000 To meet
the interest of debt requires burden
some taxes. If they should set up a
seperate confederacy, they will require
an army, a navy, a postal establish
ment, courts, &c. This would require
half the amount it now costs for the
entire Union, say, 100000 year.
AS the first step of the confederacy
would be TO abolish the tariff and
open its ports free to commerce, it
would have to raise its revenue by d.
rect taxation This is a most expen-
sive mode of collection, and a large
amount Of the sum collected, from pas
sing through so many hands, would be
lost. But whether the revenue will be
raised by direct taxation or by
duties on imports, the amount will
come entirely out of the pockets OF
the Southern people With a large
debt and increased taxation, the new
Government will find itself crippled in
its finances, its credit impaired, and its
people overloaded with taxation,
which are certainly not the elements
of prosperity in a government old OF
new.

A NOVEL CASE AT LAw.-Mr.

the end of the week Mr.. Tioker's tur-
key came along that way, and crowd

incubation under her own wings. Be-

JAcKsoN's SECESSION PRocLAMA-
TIoN.-A Philadelphia contemporary,
in replying to the question, as to who
who wrote the famous secession proc
lamation, says:
General Jackson was not the author
of "the Proclamation, though he die
tated tie spirit of that famous docu-
ment. 1t was written by Edward
Livingston, to whom the Old Hero
conided the preparation ofall his State
papers. Jackson could hardly await
the completion of the document, so
importent did he consider prompt and
| decisive action in the crisis, and every
hour sent o messenger to know why
he had not completed his task. His
impulsiveness of character and devo-
ton to his country were never so strik-
ingly manifest as in this instance, and
and even his bitterest enemies were
forced to applaud both. We should
add that, prior to its being written
ont, syllabus of the Proclamation
was submitted to General Jackson, in
the presence of his cabinet, Henry
Clay, Daniel Webster, and one or two
others, whose names have escaped us,
by whom it was adopted without dis
sent. Livingston then finished his
memorable work without interruption
save in the manner before stated

SINGULAR DISCOVERY IN HAITI. =
It is reported by late arrival from
Hayti, that among the Acnl noun
tains there has been found in an old
house, bust of Lord Nelson. 1t is
of white Marble, somewhat stained by
time and neglect. Nelson is repre-
scented in his costume of admiral, and
bears on his breast five decorations.
One is commemorative of the battle
of Aboukir, and has the inscription :
Rear Admiral Lord Nelson of the
Nile" Another medal bears the
words: 6 Almighty God has blessed
his Majesty's glory"
The bust, interesting in its artistic
and historical associations, was found
on an altar devoted to the fetish wor-
ship, where for half a century it has
been reverenced as the Deity of the
Mountain Streams. The names of the
sculptors were "Coale and Lealy, OF
Lambeth" The finder has refused an
offer of $500 for it.

The New YorkWorld which, though
as large as the two cent papers of that
city, has sold for one cent, on Mon
day last raised the price to two cents
a copy. The World, as we stated
when it commenced, was started at
one cent to secure a larger circulation
than it could hope for at two cents.
1t has reached that point when it can
double its price without losing perhaps
more than third of its edition.
Whether the experiment will pay now,
will depend in some measure upon the
question, how much it sank while be-
ing published at one cent, on a sheet
which cost more than that price for

NORTH Us. SoUTH CAROLINA. The
Raleigh Register Of Wednesday asks
what claim South Carolina has on the
cooperation of North Carolina, and
adds -
1t is manifest that in her secession
move South Carolina has taken coun-
sci only of what she deems her interest,
and has not paid any or the slightest
attention to the interests Of other
States. She wants free trade and
cheap negroes, and she Secedes that
she get them. As far as North Caro-,
lima is concerned, we do remember to
see her name mentioned in any of the
speeches and proceedings in South
Carolina. Tt is "Carolina" and the
Cotton States all the time, and the
existence Of North Carolina as a mem
Der Of the confederacy has been ignor-
ed by her arrogant pretentious neigh
Der. Why, then, should North Caro-
lima tuck herself to the tell Of the
great , nation of Sonth Carolina,
and share the fate which her enormous
follies will bring on her? North Caro-
lima, we apprehend, is not so enamor-
ed of either free trade or cheap me-
groes as to leave the Union to get
them. Her interests are exactly the
other way in every particular, and if
the great nation of (D Carolina con-
suits her interests, why may not her
more modest and unpretending neigh
Dor consult her interests p?
