MORNING HERALD. WPIIIP1T, IBPTBHBBB 13, 183f . Hlfhly Important from w?il>li*toii. The political drama increase* in interest. The ra ster concerning the new position of Mr. Calhoan aoquircs new strength. The words attributed to him by oar correspondent Rothschild are certainly ambi guoas. Events can only explain their meaning. This i a certain however, much as any man of philosophical knowledge on the currency may despise Van Buren, the leading doctrines of his message are right. In relation to Webb, we have no fears of him. If Gholson is sod?ad a shot as is represented, we'll bet ten to one there will be no duel. Webb never yet Made any attack unless a man's back was turned, or he was sure his antagonist would not fight. [From our correspondent Rothschild, No XIX. J Washington, Sept. 11, 1837, 2. P. M. The first gun has been fired in the Senate. The great American financier, Wright, from the packed ?ommitlee en money affairs, has reported a bill to postpone the transfer of the fourth instalment of the surplus revenue to the states, under the 13th s?ct,on *f the act of June, 1836, until further provision lor the payment of the same shall be made by Congress. The bill passed to a second reading. Mr. Wright premised that this bill was only in part a report from the finance committee, on the recommendations ofihw President. Mr. Calhoun hoped that this bill would be laid over till the committee had reported in full. However widely different were the difficulties under which the country was laboring, it is well known that they all sprang from one common source. He would know, then, the full extent to which the committee proposed M go, in th?ir measures for the relief of the nation. ? Justice required that we should exercise great care in eur legislation on the all important subject now agita ting the public mind. Mr. Webster agreed with the gentleman from S. Carolina. As one of the finance committee, he re gretted he could not agree with the majority of the proposed measures of relief. Asa tesident in a com mercial and manufacturing region of the country, he was prepared to say that the distresses of the great interests be represented, were unparalleled. He could say the same of the other ?reat interests of the coun try, with which he was at least quitess well acquainted as other gentlemen. He rose merely to urge that time be given to tne committee to report their measures in toto. He should not throw any obstacles in their way. He would content himself merely by stating, in his place, briefly his dissent to theirpropositions for the relief of the public distress, and give his reasons thtrcfor. The cure was in the hands of gentUmen favorable to the administration. They had the ma jority, and he was anxious to see an early decision by the majorities in both bodies, upon the schemes of re lief they might propose. He repeated, he would form ne bar to their action upon the questions they might sabmit. The responsibility was with them, and he was willmg they should use it. There? what think you of that? Here is a total disclaimer on the part of Mr. Webster, of interference in the movements of the party. If the opposition will only give them rope enough, they will hang them selves. Several petitiocs for a National Bank were present ed. A general order was then taken, that all ordina ry business should be laid on the table during the pre sent session. Here is some evidence senators are go ing te work. A Mr. Slicer was elected, today, chaplain to the se nate, and Mr. Ashbury Dickens secretary. in the House, little done of consequence up to the hour I write. This evening I will give you further intelligence; ? and perhaps traecout the effects of the repeal of the distribution law upon the labor of the interior states, and the public improvements dependent on the sur phis. [from tbe Correspondence of the Baltimore GateUe. | Washington, Sept. 9th, 1837. I notice by tbe Gazette of yesterday, that a friend of yours, has addressed you a note from this city, in which it is stated that the Hon. John C. Calhoun, has avowed a disposition to approbate and support the Kns suggested by the message of the President of the ited States. Of the fact, I know nothing definitive, but I am in clined to the opinion, ihst your informant is correct Although 1 have not the honor of personal acquaint ance of the Honorable Mr. Calhoun, it so happened that I was in a position when the Message was read, that rendered it entirely impossible for me to avoid hearing that gentleman say, that he was self satisfied, that k weuld t>e found a very popular document at the South. I have subsequently heard several of the friends of Mr. Calhoun speak of the message in terms of more approbation ; ana, to day, it is currently re ported, and 1 believe the report is based on the best of grounds, that Mr. Calhoun, has unequivocally ex pressed his approbation of the Sub-Treasury plan. The rumor, that Mr. Calhoun, has expressed him self favorably inclined to the message, has created great sensation in this city, and already given rise to a variety of speculation. We have no session to-day, and being somewhat indisposed. I must bring my tetter to a close, with the mention of another rumored surmise; that the whigs by voting for the " Conserva tive Printer," have probably broke up that party. So says Metropolitan political gossip ; 1 say nothing. Sarr. 10.? Within the last few days, wo have come well nigh having a duel, the parties to which, hid they met, weald have been the Honorable S. H. Oholson of Mississippi, and Col. James Watson Webb, of the New York Courier and Enquirer. The whole history of the attair, is comprised in a few words. On Tuesday last, whiWt the election of public printer was before the House, Mr. Wise of Virginia made an assault on the administration mem bers, and charged them with being collared ; with having been "marked and numbered;'' and in the same breath asserted that the Press of the country was not independent, but had been bribed and bought up by the administration. Whilst throwing oft this ebullition of invective, he eertainly displayed much virulencc. When he had taken bis seat, Mr. Oholson of Mis sissippi, rose to reply. He defended the administra tion, and in doing so, rspbed to the remarks of Mr. Wise. by referring to the celebrated loan made by the Rank of the United States to Messrs. Nonh and Webb, which he urged was an evidence of the cor raption of the opposition. It so happened however, that Mr. Webb, who was in Washington, was not tnen in the House, but when he was informed that Mr. Oholson had referred to him, he addressed a note to that gentleman couched in very irritable terms. To this Mr. Oholson replied 1 ?n a note which was not couched in the most pacific language the substance of which was, that he con sidered the note of Mr. Webb, a species sf black guardism, unworthy of his notice; still if anv excep tions were taken at what he had said in debate, by may caiman an, he, Mr. Oholson, would waive any ana all privileges he might possess as a member of Congress, anu would afford the " most prompt and mtc *ati*faction." To this response, Cel. Webb, up to the closing of my letter, had not made any re fer. Oholson of Mississippi, ia decidedly one of the most cool and deliberate men in Congress, and I am told that he is what is called a 11 dead shot-*' fY Poverty and oyiters, says Samivel Weller, al lers goes together. We are not so ceTtain of thia. But it ahould seem that there is some truth in Sam's eaying that peop!e " eat oysters in very desperation !" For during the last three years, we have heard of thirteen cases of quarreling and stabbing in oyster r^lars, and yesterday we heard of the fourteenth ] case. The night before last, a man went into sn oyster cellar on the corner of Weehawken and Chris topher atreet. "Oiveme a shilling's worth of oys ters!" says he. "Certainly," saya the oyster man; * and be quick about it," aays the other, "for I'm des perate hungry." The oysters, as we are told, were eaten ? pay was tendered in shin plasters, and re ftwed ? a remark was made, which elicited a rough rsfrty? words brought about blows? the deapferate oyster eater was struck by the desperate oyster feller - with an oyster knife under the fifth rib, and a despe rate wowod inflicted. The siabbet has been tstyrp to pH*>i< and the M%W?ed*as besa taken to a<tac?Ktjj f3r Wbat fuss and raw is thai I hear about ? player OtUed VandenhoffT In he belter than Forrest 7 Cathouc Obphaws ? A benefit it to be given to night, by the proprietor ef Castle Garden, to the Ca tholic Oipbuts of Prince street. We have heretofore endeavored to aid this charity in our little way, and we are glad to aee that others also come forward in the same good cause. Folks and fools may quarrel about this or that faith? they may fight about modes of prayer? they may differ about measures ofbolinees? but when hun ger, and thirst, and nakedness overtake youth and in nocence, all the metaphysical luxuries of Catholicity or Protestantism are reduced to the same dead level. How much more amiable would our friend Doctor Brownleebe, eten in the eyes of Almighty God ? I say nothing of the eyes of the ever b?rautiftll Virgin Mary, for fear it would shock his serves ? it, instead of taking so much pains to prove that the poor Catho lies will, one and all, be cast into hell fire ? which is kept a-going by a peculiar species of everlasting an thracite that never burns taut? if, I say, instead of all this, he would preach one of his excellent sermons for the charitable purpose of making a collection to feed the hungry, and clothe the naked of the poor Ca tholic Orphans in Prince street. I never reflect on the general conduct of the clergy of the present day, without calculating whether they or the politicians consume the greatest quantity of hypocrisy, or will be immersed in the hottest furnace hereafter. I sometimes think the parsons beat the politicians? and then again, t contra. Here is Mr. Marsh of Castle Garden, and myself, both sinners? and on Doctor Brownlee' s theory of salvation, both fattening for hell fire ? yet we have come forward with our mite to clothe the naked and feed the hungry, which acts are the principal injunctions of our Lord and Master in the Gospel? as Doctor Sleigh calls him ? and which all parsons and priests, ought to obey. Doctor Brownlee ! Doctor Brownlee ! do come for ward like a man and a primitive Christian? quit Ma ria Monk's apron strings for a brief space of time ? turn her over to Hoyte or Slocuaa? and preach one of your best charity sermons (for you can do it) for the Catholic Orphans. I want you to do so, only to see how Satan will bite hs lip, gnash his teeth, and curl up his infernal tail for vexation. Habd Ti mbs ? Gay Times ? Fashionable Times. On Monday night there were six theatres open in this eity. At the National and Bowery, it was a perfect jam? all the others nearly full. Two more theatres are opening, and it really appears as if they were all well patronized. New churches, each costing from $'30,000 to $70,000, are also opening every other quar ter. The same style, elegance, and extravagance, in going to heaven, begin to appear that characterized the early part of 1836. More marriages have taken place this summer, among the young, gay and fash ionable, than for the same period of time for ten years past. The gaieties of Saratoga, Rockaway, New Brighton, Orange Springe, Schooley's Mountains, Wesi Point, are about closing, after a tolerably mode rate season. This perhaps is the only department of social life which has fallen ofl in expenditures ? yet towards the close they began to revive. Symptoms are already appearing of a brilliant and a fashionable winter, both in New York and in Wash ington. Tableau vivants, fancy balls, and other gai eties are already making up for the approaching sea son in tim^. Some yoHng and blooming creatures are coming out. Their debut in society will create A sensation. On these latter points we have a word to say. '? It is as easy to be gay and elegant at a cheap rate as at extravagant expenditures. A fashionable noirfe next winter, need cost no one over 950. Last year they coat $500, $600, or 8900 apiece. What was the consequence? These parties were crowded with vul gar gourmands who went there frequently uninvited, to eat, drink, and behave like savages. We have marked several young men of fashion, who must re form last year's conduct, at the peril of expulsion fr?ra the society of lovely woman. Chiefs of families should lay their thick heads together, and make ar rangements to give the tone to cheapness, elegance, beauty and intellect in tlie toirtu of next winter. It can be done. The firtt expensive party that is given in New York, on the plan of the year of madness, 1836, we shall serte up with pepper and mustard note and comment? in the Herald. Economy is the order of the day. .Hereafter the amusements of the haul twn ought to qsaunte a more intellectual caat and character. The ladies want no profusion of wines, cookery and confectionary. They are far more desi rous of refinement of manners in the young men elegance of behavior in the older? and wit, philosophy and taste in the conversation of ell. Let there be an intellectual reform in the fashiona ble world of 1837? and there will be one. Or The Expbcss alao expends a jug full ef its dir ty dishwater upon the New Yoik pilots. Nothing seems to annoy the corrupt Wall street press so much aa the promptitude and activity by which the New York boys are driving the Jeraey loafera from our waters. The "Times" also had a hit at them the othtr day. Go on, gentlemen? go on. The real grievance is the manner in which the Heraid'a new's boats, the "Teazer" and " Celeste" fish up foreign and marine intelligence. Three or four times a week we best every Wall atreet print, in reporting ahips, and as soon ss our new system goes into operation we will play them trumps. Look out. OrrtciJ l. ? We havs at last the official account of the fraca* in which our friend, Henry M. Western, was engaged the other day, probably from hia own pen. The following ia taken from the penny organ of the Hambhn gang : As the iffUr between Mr. Wmmi and Mr. WUm, mrabm of the bar, Ins errMrd anme noiae la the city, we give the fol lowing rtatrm^nt of fhcta, which we are aaaured to correct It i? untrM Uiat (be lie wan Riven on eiUier aide, or that any weapons were oaed. The affair commenced by Mr. Wltaon claiming the protection of Judge Edwards, agamat a charge made by Mr. Wentern, that Mr. Wilwm bad employed improp er means to procure u?e adjournment of I he case. The judge, not teeing any thing to interfere about, mid nothing, when Mr. Wilaon anddenly itrnck Mr. Wentern a Mow, ThT? produced a retam blow from Mr. Wentern, which knocked Mr. Wilaon. with the hack of hi* head, agwinat a marble mantle behind him. Mr. Wilaon rallied to the attack, aad waiaereraJ times met Wy a blow in the fare from Mr. Wmtern, which each time drew Mood. The parties were then aeparnted, without any material injury to Mr- Wilaon, and a eery alight aonluaion to Mr. Wes tern The latter gentleman acted on the defenaivn eichni re ly, and, In the opinion of all preaent, conducted himself gene rously and farbcarinf ly inward* hi* antagnniat. This is enough. It does not require a single word from us to shew up the disgrace, degradation, and dishonor of the whole transaction. The profession of the law is sunk to a level with the Five Points, when such conduct is paraded to the world by its per I petrator. Iksslveut Finn ('oneAwias.? A meeting ia to be held this evening at 6 o'clock, at the Masonic Hall, Broadway, of the Stockholders who are desirous of receiving the surplus earnings, and of beiag included ia the application. A general attendance ia wiahed. It may not be generally known that the majority of Stockholders of the Insolvent Fire Companies are widowa and orphans, who have lost, some of them, every thing by the insolvency of the Fire Companies.

Tke Vh Weair-A Uwl CmrUig with Milk and Honey. The following latter which we received yeaterday-? postage paid ? from Prairie da Chien, contains each important facts and suggestions that we publish it fer the benefit of the public, precisely as we have re ceived it, verbatim et literatim. A word af remark. As I was reading the epistle, i could scarcely re fraia from wishing that 1 had the wings of an eagle to fly to that happy place, where the Doctors have to turn farmers te get a living ? where there are no Hamblins ner Haggertus to annoy one ? and where the praiiie hens, ducks and suipes meet one ia a morn ing, and ask. you in the most friendly manner ? " Ben nett, my boy, don't you want a broiled bird today ? look at me? I am as fat as butter, and nothing would please me better than to be eat up by such a wit and philosopher as thou art." I was thinking the other day, of buying some beautiful cottage an Long Isl and, New Jersey, or Westchester, either up the East or North River. I had almost come to the resolu tion that Col. Webb, nor General Morris, nor Nam by Pamby Willis, Esq., shoald not surpass me any longer in cottages, chateaus or other elegint but sin ful nick-nacks. But I must say now that my heart is half set apon the Wisconsin Territory ? the ducks, snipes, and prairie hens of that delightful land. I shall therefore suspend, for the present, further opera tions in foolish purchases of farms, horses, dogs, and other humbugs. Meantime I recommend the atten tive perusal of the following to the 150,000 readers of the Herald. Prairie oc Chien, W. T. Aug. 20, 1837. J. G. Bennett, Esq.? Dear Sib .?1 arrived here in the early part of June last, and have determin ed upon spending my future days here. This place is situated at the junction of two rivers, the Mississip pi and the Wisconsin. The former is navigable, and several steamboats have been up to St. Peters, 300 miles from here ? and the latter is also navigable, and several steamboats have been up this season to Fort Winnebago, 120 miles. The present village of Prairie du Chien is composed of scattering houses some built a hundred years age by the French ? and forming three small villages, one near the Garrison, (Fort Crawford), one about a mile further north and one on an Island ? where is also the American Fur Company's store? but the new tewn, about being built, will be below the Garrison, where steamboats land. The Prairie rises about ten feet above Itigh water mark, and gradually continues to de so for a mile and a half, where it meets the perpendicular bluffs, from 200 to 400 feet in hight? the latter com-' posed of lime, sand stone, and easily broke off' and forming a beautiful and durable building stone? the American Fur Company's store, the Court House, and several stares and dwellings being built of it. The climate is delightful ? bring the same latitude as Albany? but, bting farther West, does not vary so much from winter to summer. The people are all healthy ? and several Doctors have come here to practice medicine, but find none to practiee upon ex cept some old wern out sojdiers? and have conse quently had to go te work upon farms. I am farming it myself, and am thankful that in my early life 1 was brought up to it ? though hav ing lived twenty-two years in the city of New York ?and made money plenty, and rode in my own car riage through Broadway ? it comes rather tough at first? but I would not re-exchange for all the houses in Broadway. I would not place myself under such anxiety of mind as I have done the last year in New York, for any sum of money. You may as well be informed at once, that I was in the auction business, and foiled. I shall nor prosecute you for publishing it? because I honorably assigned all I had in the world for the benefit ot my creditors. ' My object in writing to you is, to inform you, and through you, some of your suffering fellow citizens, ^ where they can get good wages, if they will but . work. Carpenters, Masons, Blacksmiths, Wheelwrights, Boat Builders, Laborers, &c. can here find plenty of employment ? and can earn from two to five dollars per day Also twenty thousand farmers can settle at once oa the surrounding country ? and e'ear enough the firsr year to pay for their land. I have examined the Black Hawlc purchase the lower end of which lies directly opposite to this place? and God never made a place better adapted toman's happiness. The soil is altogether superior to that of Illinois or Mich igan ? well watered and timbered. Thin i> abundance of game? prairie hens, almost as tame as your barn- yard fowls, and quite as large ducks and snipo ? and in fact, there appears to be nothing wanting but a few mora of my fellow citi zens, who have lost their all in New York by the cursed policy of the administration party. I remain yours truly, G. Wash's* Pine. Cr The New Orleans editors are stUl making a great outcry about some observations we made, on the management of their banks, in some of eur late Wall street reports. " Wounded pigeons are known b y their fluttering." If the New Orleans bankers and brokers had ever followed the best principles in their systems of trade, they would never have blown the bladder of specula tion so high as to endanger such an explosion as they experienced last March. We have little te nay to the editors of New Orleans? with some exceptions, they understand not the subject on which they write, when they touch finance. As ta their ridiculous tirades against us, we smile at its impotence. When the ban kers of New Orleans shall have returned to the paths of honesty, and their cotton brokers have paid their debts, it will be tune enough to talk about our charac ter and reputation. This is not the first time we hava sean impudent rotten speculators, covered with bank ruptcy as the Five Points are covered with pollation, arrogate to themselves the epithets ? " respectable/' "honorable," and "esteemed," and apply approbri oua language to those against whom a flaw sever has been discovered. We have plenty of such personages in this city, bat the healthy moral tone of New York, still existing among the great induatrious classes, sets a limit to such insolence in this latitude. We ahall continue to probe the rottenness of the New Orleans banks, whenever it comes in our way. They muat not shift their own sins on New York, without being set right. CjT The " Albany Argus" is very anxious that the meaeage should not be considered " locofoco." This is a trick ta prevent the influence of ita real doctrines, and to prop up the infamoua Safety Fund system.? There is a plan on foot to cheat the public again, by procuring, at the next election, a legislature, bound hand and foot to the banks. The suspension and mortgage laws of 1337, are not sufficient for their flour, land, and bank speculation. They want to oontinue these impositions on the public another year. Rut it is in vain. Thert mutt be a radical reforpiln the banking $yt(em, or the -whole deterrea to go toptr dition. As we cannot get a National Bank, we go for an entire and full repeal of the Restraining Law.? Let the banking business be thrown as open as the doora of the City Hall. Nothing lose. fir Tim Horsy Oaidm, situated an the pictu resque crag above Hoboken, is going on bravely. We received a couple of presents from ita proprietor, the other day? two glass vessel* filled with pure virpn honey. " Write me," said he?" on a card, direc tions how you want the honey made, in a veaael I have prepared for you, and it shall be done." I did so. The bees, innocent, industrious, sensible crea tures, are now engaged in that work? and m a fow weeks I expect ta receive H full of the choiceet honey and the honey coaab.

By this morning's mail, we have received the Na tional Intelligencer Of yesterday morning : wtavcli, re ferring to the business propensities of the members of Congress, has the following remarks : The reader will see, by the report of yesterday's proceedings in the two Houses of Congress, that they have plunged into the tnidat of things ; that a bill has been reported in the Senate for an indefinite post postponement of the fourth instalment of mo ney due to the States under the Distribution Law. That the Message has been referred to committees in the House of Representatives, and reports may be soon expected upon it in that body ; and that there are indications in both bodies of a disposition to consider the present a special session, for temporary purposes, ana not a session for general legislation.

On the contrary, all in gloom and uncertainty. ? Stocks have fallen since our tut, and conftdeace, which wm again reviving, ha* received another blow. Money continued scarce on every description of commercial paper, aad although prices of stocks are regularly quoted from day to day, there ut little or nothing doing at the Board. Unless some important change take place, which we canno: low see or predict, a still greeter depreciation must occur, and a still deeper gloom en sue." It is highly probable that such a state of things exists ia Phil adelphia. That city, during the revulsion of March, April and May last, escaped untouched. The issue of United States Bank post notes and bonds were principally made to produce such a result At the expense of New York com merce, and through the cunning agency of that institution, the thunderbolt fell on this eity. It is highly probable, therefore, that the apparent policy of the government, iu refusal to aid and assist the United States Bank, may cast a gloom over Philadelphia, a city which i? ' plunged as deeply in the * peculation* of the day as New York ever was. By the great financial skill or Mr. Biddle, iu spec ! ulators have stood till now. Yet if a revulsion overtake theta before winter, they must not hope to create the belief, thart al fareign and domestic trade is crushed forever by any action of'i the stupid government at Washington Let us shew the re verse. In this city, and throughout the country, the elements of commerce are re-organiziug themselves on a better and surer foundation than ever. Today, 780 shares of the U. 8. Bank equal to $80,000? were sol^l chiefly at I17J, being at an advance of i and 4 since yesterday. This large amount is principally purchased for remittances to England. At the last dates, U. Hi. Hank shares were quoted in London at ?22 5s. to ?22 10s. A remittance in U. S. s'.ock. at 117J, is therefore nearly at par. The otherstocks, not possessing any capability of eoinmerctB uses, are flat and falling. This is one fact indicative of the returning healthy action of trade. Agaia, we learn that at the Custom House there is great ac tivity among the Freuch importers. Little or nothing is coia ing Irani England, although cotton is going there in quantities ?hut from Havre, almost every ship brings out nearly a full cargo. The imports this year are small in quantity, bat to nu merous consignees. The French importing business was never in the hands of a few ricketty monopolists as the English trade was, audit is now getting in a better condition than ever. Ac cording to the best calculations, based on the Treasury tables, the foreign trade of 1837 will return to the condition and amount it indicated in 1827. The following table will explau* our meaning : ? 1827? officio/. 1836 ? official. 1837 ? estimate. Imports, 79,484,068 1?,9MM'35 80, 000, 000 Exports, 82,3*1,8*7 128,663,040 85,700,000 We have estimated the exports for 1837 at five millions beyond the imports, and we think it is probable we will be borne out by the results. In the article of cotton alane we have the fol io wiag official statement for 1827 afld '36 ? and estimate far 1&37 :? 1827 ? official. 1836 ? official. 1837 ? estimate. Cotton exported, 29,000, 000 71,000,000 Before the close of the present year, it is now the general opinion, that we shall export bread stuffs. The great crops of the present year, in almost every part of thecoantry, give pro mise of such a result. But even, setting aside the flattering accounts of the crop*, we can show from indisputable data that the internal trade of the country has not fallen off* so much as what we have stated of the foreign. We will take as indicative of this opinion the two largest States in the Union, New York and Pennsylvania. According to the recent official publications we And the follow ing statements made of the receipts of tolls on the canals of each of these States New York Canal Tolls up to Sept. 1st, 1837, - $648,163 Pennsylvania Canals and Rail Roads, Oct. 31, 1836 ? to 8ept. 6, 1837, .... 718,260 In the year 1836, the canal revenue of New York amounted to $1,607,771 for the year ending the 30th September This indeed shaws a great falling off* for the present year, but taking the same period of lime into calculation, it is probable that the ca nal revenue this year, will only fall short one third of wliat it was Ust year. In Pennsylvania, the internal trade it in a Wetter I condition. We have not ihe official amount of the revenue ta ! ken by that State in 1836, but as well as we can remember the receipts of this year do not fall near so short at compared with I Ust as they do with us in New York. > But this it not all. The Internal trade and internal revenue* depend much on the crop*. Now it is known lh"? the crops of every staple throughout the country are nearly 25 per cent aver the productions of last year. This indeed may have a sensible effect in decreasing the price, but it will give great activity to the internal trade. We art satisfied from these facts, that, in (pile of the govern, ment and the bank*, the trade of this country wlH force for it. self new and healthy channels of action. All, or the greater part, of those covered with the engagements of 1836, must clear out of the way, but the young merchant now going into busi* ness, will have a good prospect before him in less than a year. The remedies devised at Washington and elsewhere a-e worthless, frail, feeble reeds. Neither government nor exist ing banks possess the capacity to aid the returning tide of com merce. Both banks and government have been the means at' bringing on the revulsion and destroying lite merchants, and it would only l>e a matter of strict justice if both wi-rr sent to per dition. #T* wmnt a fiatiowU Hank, but we cmn't gtt it. What, then, is to be done To understand this we must unravel the hi?tory of the past, and this we shall do in a day or two. The usurious banks and the corrupt government, during the year ISM, have actually made every merchant aul mechanic very nearly a locofoco in sentiment. galea at ths Utock Exchange.

Our exposure of the infamous conduct of the hanks, in aiding the wheat and flour speculators to accomplish their avaricious purposes io buying up the preset, t crops, has created <|Uite a sensation throughout the country, aotwithstsnding the attempts of some to discredit the fact by ridicale. Nearly three months ago we pointed oat several baaks that were engaged la this ne farious business. Doubts were attempted to be thrown on this by those interested ia < onceallng the fbct. But the announce, ment of the robbery of Sinclair, an extensive wheat purchaser, who had obtained facilities from these very Imnks, and kisolTVr of a reward of B*00 for the recovery of the money, la which be mentions the names of the banks whose notes had been taken from bim, at once removed *11 doubt on the sutyect. Notwith standing this exposure, there is reason to believe that the banks are still accommodating the speculators with the means of car rying oa their frandalent schemes. The Bath, Steuben Coop * ty , Farmer's Advocate, asserts that " the banks of the State are now expanding, instead of contracting their issues, to enable the speculators In dour, as Inst year, to bny up all the wheat at a low price, for the purpose of ex tort ion." The Albany Daily Advertiser, astounded, as it well might be, at the daring impu dence of these men, lioids the following justly indignant laa* I* this true, whilst the Industrious mechanic and merchant can not obtain even a few hand red dollars, to aid him in his bono rahlc business transactions f By the way, the Albany banks hav?j net yet explained bow they dared yes, that Is the word? how thev dared to discount lhou?ands for Mr. Sinclair, to aid him in his abominable speculations In wheat and flour.
