suspENsIov OF The BALTIMORE AND DIsTRIcr
BAsKs Yesterday the Baltimore banks resolved
to suspend this morning, and as a consequence
our owa banks have already been compelled TO
follow their example. q ad they hesitated forty
eight - In doing SO, every Spectator who
could reach Washington per railroad in that time
with their notes In hand, would have drawn
specie for them; thus putting 1t of their power
20 aid their regular business customers to the ex-
tent Of a dollar In these unsettled times. The
consequence would have been the bankruptcy OF
hundreds here whose business Is really In a.
sound condition as that Of any men engaged In
trade In any American city.
They 1.-THE Washington banks) are to be com
mended for thus promptly taking measures to
secure their depositors well as their borrowers
against the injury which would have resulted
from inviting speculation from a distance upon
their means Of securing all who do legitimate
business with them against any ultimate loss
whatever from the fact that they DO do business
with them. 3
We need hardly add that lack Of coin had
nothing whatever TO do with this bank action
here, as 1t never was in greater abundance In
Washington than at present The city brokers
cont nue. usual to regard their balances as
specie, and all in trade In Washington will
doubtless be able to obtain SUN for their le-
Ultimate business purposes without any sacrifice
whatever. rs5 70 ..
As Tar as we can perceive every business man
In Washington rejoices that our banks have thus
come to the rescue Of the communty's true inter-
ests, % seriously menaced by the state of things
financial elsewhere =
The banks Of Alexandria suspended yesterday,
on hearing the news Of the suspension of the
Richmond banks.

FLurrKK.-A rumor was rife in the Treasury
Department to-day, that Secretary COBB had sent
his resignation to the President, which caused
very PercePtibie hutter among he many CO. ern-
ment employees under him. We however saw
nothing there that led to the conclus on that II
might be true; for Mr.. C. was engaged a. usual In
the discharge Of his Official duties
In this connection we may add that we place
no confidence in the stories Of terrible dissensions
In the ahinet over what shall be the terms Of the
portion Of the forthcoming message treating Of
the current secession excitement. The question
IL one for the decision Of the President himself.
He, and not his Cabinet, is responsible to the
county for his views; and the public may RELY
upon IL, he will net shirk his entire responsibility
In the matter. 1t is well known that some Of the
southern members Of the Cabinet hold abstract
views upon the questions Of the times In unison
with tn csc that seem to prevail to great an ex.
tent among the public men in their respective
states; and were the forthcoming Message theirs,
rather than that OF the President its ons with
reference to the propriety f secession this time
would doubtless reflect those views. But no, be.
Ing theirs, but his, the idea Of a break M Ct the
Cabinet because H. 1.-THE Message) may reflect his
well known sentiment In the matter is simply
preposteTous, we take IL. We are satisfied that
nothing whatever like pickering in Cabinet coun-
Gil over the subject HIS occurred as alleged by
wonder-mongering Washington correspondents
for more or less distant newspapers

Douglas Curses Himself.

During the debate on tho Missouri
Compromise in 1850, Mr.. Douglas Bit
terly cursed tho man who should dare
disturb tho Missouri Compromise. lie
said:
/" Blistercd ought TO DO tho tongue
and palsied ought be tho hand, that
would speak against and disturb so sa-
cred a compact"
Tho tongue that soon after spoke
against that compact was tho tongue OF
Mr., Douglas, and his was the hand that
tore II asunder. 1Ioro is his glorifica
ton of that foul deed, spoken in Glove
land, September 22d, 1860, recorded by
his own reporter, and published In his
own organ, the Plain Dealer of Soptom.
bcr gath:
III had moro to do with tho repeal OF
tho Missouri Compromise than any live
man. / boldly avow IL, and shoulder
|all tho responsibility OF tho act. There
Is no act Of my ,choie public iVe Of which
1 hare a more conscious pride than the re.
peal Of the Missouri Compromise"
If tho curses of Mr.. Douglas in 1850
were not "moro sounds and fury, signi-
yirg nothing" wo should expect Ia
500 his tongue bistered and his hand
pnlsod after such declaration. OF O
truth, courses, like chickens, come home
TO roost."

of their origin;
"On tho night of the 2bth of Febru.
ary, 1860, the city Of Hartford was much
moved by tho advent Of the Hon. Cas-.

guishcd visitor and in pursuance OF
this design borrowed from a fire com.
pany hard by some of their fremen'

their broadcloth from oily innovation,
they procured some glazed cloth and

drew forth the plaudits Of tho assem-

of the party was attacked by a sturd,
Democrat; but n blow from tho Original
Wide. Awake torch stretched him ON
the ground and quoted all further dis.

The San Francisco Times, Ia speaking
Of the canvass Of 1856 in California,
says
During that canvass Broderick well
understood Douglas. lie expected mel
Their aid nor comfort from him. Though
he did not denounco him for his treach
cry to him in public, yet In private he
denounced him in such terms US only he
could use. Ho called him treachcrous
vascilating and weak. He told them
how near the weak -kneed bobtail was
going over TO the support Of the English
bill, abandoning his friends and all
they had been contonding for. Many
men IN this State have heard him tell
how no made tho quivering dcmGgogue
quail before him in that famous Anti
Lecompton caucus, when he told him
that If he betrayed him BIO would de-
nounce him from his seat. put a
burning brand of disgrace uroA him.
Aye, said he, TO use his own words,
had he done IL, would have made
him crawl under his char" This
prompt action of Broderick intimidated
Douglas, and saved blm from disgrace.
He voted against the English swindle,
aud by that means saved himself at
homo.
