A FOOLISH PANIC -Instigated by the envy
and jealousy OF the managers of the rival insti-
tutiona, the "Farmers and Mechanics Bank" of
this town has experienced run upon it's vaults
for the first time since its organization. The
panic seemed to be excited by the refusal Of the
Del. Railroad Co, to receive it's issues. Why
this refusal is unknown, as il has heretofore re
oeived the paper without question. There a no
doubt Of the ability Of the Bank to redeem every
dollar OF its circulation, and it In doing 80 when
ever demanded, aud this it will continue to do
though every dollar Of it should come ia at once.
1t has on deposit in Philadelphia Banks, chiefly
in the Bank OF North America, sufficient cash 10
redeem half Of its circulation, aud in ita own
vaults enough tO redeem the balance, liid no
Bank III Me country Gun 10 as ueH Ibis day. The
institution is perfectly sound aud reliable, and
the pauic is entirely causelcss and unnecessary.
The treasurer Of the Railroad Co, has no doubt
been deceived nnd imposed upon by the interest
Trd enemies VI the liank, aud his orders TO tho
agents of the company TO refuse the money will
nu doubt h. c1untermauded ns soon as he learns
that he has been imposed upon Many persons
yet think that the stock OF the Bank is held by
New lurkcrs but this is not the cnsc, Every
/
aud the Bank is entirely IN the hands Of our own
people, who eau have no iniurcmeut To do my.
