The Philadelphia Ledger of Thursday
says:
'It is understood that the New York
State banks have appointed committee to
attend at Washington to watch the mover
ments directed against their existence by
the Secretary of the Treasury in his mani
fest determination to build up new and
what he esteems better system of bank

of his official patronage against the one and

timately, ifcontinued, clearthe field of banking
of all State banks. Should the State banks
make common cause and oppose to in all
their influence, the struggle may l,e prolon
ged, but the issue, it seems to US can have
but one end; the winding up of all State
banks of issue. We see it stated the Secre-
tary has ordered that the revenue officers
refuse to receive for taxes, licenses or other
United States dues, any bills of the State
banks. The Secretary's object is to drive
out of circulation the bills of these banks,
and to discredit them. Congress has not
responded to his proposition to tax the issue
of the State banks two and two ffths per
cent; but the discrediting of their bills has
the same effect Must he not succeed,
even if he does not secure the CO operation

The last number of the Morgan.own
Monitor contains the vaedictory of our
friends WILEY Il STURGIs-they having
retired from the publication of that paper.
The Monitor will hereafter be conducted by
HENRY M. MORGAN, young man of indus
try and ability. All the parties have our
best wishes. The valedictory of the reti,
ring editors closes with the following para
graph: "a. ....
'y-"And though we eau only claim mod
crate share of success, politically, get that
iss cheering sign for the future, when we
trust that conservatism and loyalty to the
principles of the American Constitution
shall again resume their sway, and the short.
lived age of shoddy, and the super-extra
loyalty shall have passed away, and be re
membered only in the chronicles of our ma
tionsl folly. And here once for all we wish
to protest against that kind of pretended
patriotism which measures its love of coun-
try by the amount of garbage and filth it
can cast upon that of other. Though we
have been mallgned thus by some, yet we
can truly say we have known no cause but
Our country, our whole country, and had no
wish or thought that was not in unison with
its best interest. And though we may have
committed errors in our youth and zeal, yet
they were errors of the head and not of
tie heart, which, we trust, will be over
looked. Though We may have mistaken
the means, yet the ends we have had -
view we're always the best" III

Sweet refreshment they are bringing
To the watchers on the shore

Wishing, waiting evermore
Gazing Ger the quiet waters,
Watching for the bark to come
That will bear him or the billows

Nearing towards the barren shore
Waiting sill the sail so snowy

With calm and steady motion
Nearer closer to the shore,
As it oft hath done in silence
For the loved ones gone before
AS itoft hath done and carried

Those that were 80 lOv'd and CHERISHED

Gazing Ger the cold, dark waters,
Towards the good, the better land;
