Oi cupj ins tbii .m --por.anl relation to the country, it occurs to u» that they should cot only begin the great w:rk, but that they sr.ouid henceforth ga fen n:d and no: ociy prepare themselves, but also the people, for a re turn of specie payments, at an early day. The absence of coosden:e ia each other which now exists among them, is well calculate d to imptir acd destroy the ccnndeace of the ux-uple in these particular inst-tuGons from which t:ey withheld it, tut it excites distrust among business men, and men of ah classes in one another.

V\ tut thee should be done, we hesitate cot tu declare that the policy which should bo adopted, ia our o; i on. is to re sume specie payments on the hurt dry of October next, brsli tuose hanis met can do so with anv degree of propriety, and let t use wh.ck are unable to restime at a? etrly i diy, feihv as s:«>n sfter as Ipcssibie, or be dealt with br the Legislature. We hare already seen that the suspended banks could resume at a time when the country was mure in debted man now. without any injury to merr.se'. ve? and it is certainly fair to infer that they can now perform a similar act, with a like result. Let them then go forward, sni it will a: cnce icstcre conn uence at home and abroad, and impart to all classes of :us ness a new zest and additional impetus. The Hanks of this City occupy a high and com manding pcs. t ion in the State, and must n.-t fail to coctinae to occupy tl at position in thus great and important work. Tnat they can resume at that time, we think is certainly true, although we are no farther advised of their respective abilities than the public generally. If they can. they certa.s’.y should do so; if not. on the hrst day c: October, let them determine upon some more distant period’ nut beyond the hrst of January, and commence at or.ee. that preparation necessary to accomplish their otjecL We hope these remarks, whkh we shall probably continue, will induce the people and the Banks tu mvestlgate the propriety of ri is coarse, and deter mine tie result We seek for no heated or excited state of the public mind cpoc t. is question, we weuld deplore nothing mere than anefbrt to bring 1 it L.tc the party cunuLctu of the cay, such a course would result in no g»i. and probably injury to the great ends which we desire, and no patriot should seek to mingle a question of such character w.tn the ccmmtn political d.scussicts of the day; ’ in short none but groj ri«p poJ::iciaMS and dem-i --r:«ues w.D ever attempt such a thing: but we ask the people to ccme to the invesLg-itiGn of the subject with t t/> ta.r.ness anu ueliicration which its import.anue demands. 7u th: Efl::-rt of the.

Tai Rich.x3.vd Bivs.—The lasi Richmond papers contain the report of the commissioners appointed by the Governor of tne State, on the 14tno: April iast. no examine minutely intoihe affj.rs of me Bant of \ irg iota. lAe derange ment of its affaire by the night of the first idler and the withdrawal of the books, officers and clerks, daring the criminal prosecutions which have been pend,ag, are given as the reasons for the delay in making the report. So far as we can perceive, the commissioners report nothing specially unfavorable to the bank, though some looseness in its management is mentioned. We extract from the report that part which refers particularly to the embezzlement by Dabnev. , Baltimore Sun-. Tne deficit in the cash of the first teller, amounts to the sum of £544,116 47. It was preceded :v overdrafts early in the year IS3S. on tne account of Merrill dc Green, woichamo inted from the 22d to the 26th September, to the sum ■ f £35.111 04. Tnese overdrafts had been partially conceded bv a false balance brought forward to the credit of I the account. —They are stated to hare been dis covered at the date iast mentioned, during the temporary absence of the book-keeper having charge of that account. Soon after this discove ry , they were made good by checks on other banks deposited to the credit of the account, which checks duly came round to the first teller, an j were suppressedby him. These checks were n:t found by us. On 19th Jan. 1339. the casg was counted by a committee of directors. On that dav it appears that Green's account was overdrawn $ 24.3*20 T 3. and another account of a person in his employment was overdrawn f 11,411 00. Tnese accounts were under charge of the same book-keeper wno had previously kept the account of Merrill dc Green. He was soon after transfer red by the directory to another service in the ban*, —the board having no knowledge, as we are sat isfied, of h;« misconduct in keeping of these ac counts or thiito* Menu! dc Green; oat befo-e ne .ert tnese accounts the overdrafts on them were redeemed to a small amount. In the coarse of this reduction many checks on other banks were entered o the cred.: of these account*, came round duly to tne first idler anl were sujinressed by him. These chacits were found bv- us. From that lime, as appears by tke check* found in tne teikr s u.. and va.tt, the process of embezzle ment was continued without pause, exce:: f.-r v€*y beef interval*, d-i,va to tne 30th Jan. 1 5 iu. The last check so found teare dale Feb. 20,1 540. Nearly the whole dedc i is represented bv check* of Green and other* va-.oy-.r connected with hdm, which came into the hand of the first Idier and were oppressed and left by him. A portion of tne deficit is represented by g»i notes amounting to £4440 1%, which were found as signed fey the first tc. er to the bank, and for which he admits that a mm of moaer tho t of the:- amount was Ui.cn Lr him on the eve ofn.s flight.

I We have again read over Mr. Poinsett’s leiler exculpalory and explanatory of bis plan for or ganrz qz the mi I ilia, and it still appears that in all his references lo plans previously proposed under former administrations, by means of w hich he endeavours to justify his own, there is no a!.u sioa made to the mam point at i?*ue. It is very certain that most of our Presidents, if not ail since the f -fixation of the Government, have re commended some orgaigation of the militia. Since the law of 1792, the subject has been brought before Congress frequently, with the view of altering the system instituted by that law. Same more efficient arrangement was thought necessary to answer the purposes intended. But because the cld plan was found defec tive and some particular amendments, or an en tire remodelling was deemed advisable, it did not follow that the Constitution was lo be violated ani the rights of the States invaded, in order that a more efficient militia system might be estab lished. Toe fact laat the old p lan was de .ct.ve might Justify a change—but what the country complain? of and feels indignant at, is the change p'opcsei by this Administration involves 3 most pa!pa:!e outrage upon the constitutional rights of the States, and the personal freedom of all- | : zens. Mr. Proinselt, in his letter, say? : •• My plan recommends the division of the whrle territory of the U. States into military districts an ariaxigement, whic.i w.Il te acknowledg d by every person acquainted with thesu ectt*, be es i tremely tisefu to the service in time of peace, and ; absoictelj neces-ay in war.-’ In time of war the arrangement is unquestion ably g>ixl enough ; for then the President is Just- , ly empowered to call out the militia and to em piuy them in the service of the country. The Constitution allow? tirs. and Congress :s expec ted to provide for in But in time of peace the matte* is altogether different. To group t-Dgeth er seve*a! Slates and to consolidate them into one great province, appropriated as the locality of a given number of armed legions, is a proceeding somewhat new in the history of this Goverment 1 ani not altogether in keeping with the genius of ! our institutions. The Secretary says further of h : s plan :—lt cor.templates the perivoos 1-gisiation of the btates, it* provisions are to be carried into ■ etiect. except in coses where citizens might vol ( unteer their services.’’ What previous legislalion’of the States is con- ) templated in the 17:h section. We ask particu lar attention to this section—for the Secretary Las most singularly neglected it in his explana tory letter. ~ IT. That the President of the United States he authorized local forth and assemble such num bers of the active force of militia at such places da their respe- live Districts, and at such limes, cot exceed!Bg t e nor day? ia the year, ss he may deem necessary : ac*i d.r.ng such p-ric-d in c.uiir.g the time when going to aid return!; g from the place of rendezvous, they shail be deemed in the- service of the United St tcs.aauf be tut. ert to such regzdati:m at /.v President may think proper tt ac:-pc for their imtruction, discipline end in prarCTo/, in mU’tary knotciedee ! .*/** There is no mention made here of State lesis latian. aor is any contemplated. It is in fact in this section that we are lo discover the verv he id and front of his offending. Here is a provision v which the control of the militia is to te taken from the States and put into the band* of the President. It is no w inder the people of Virsia ii repudiate with indignation a proposal so mon strous; it is no wonder that the people of the whole country ri?e to reject such a project so soon as this principle ia it becomes known. I—Nor will the Secretary succeed ia diverting attention from this p ;rit by dwell.r.g largely up on the minor dkia 'it of his plan, for the purpose of showing that similar details had been incorpo i rated in jus plan?. W hat care we for dtiailt. when the concentration of ths whole svstem ter ; m:nates at the seal of the Federal Government, and pats the guiding reins in tie hand* of the President? If the subordinate arrangements of the plan are made subsidiary to such an end. their very efficiency constitute* a cause of objection. Mr. Poinsett says : ‘•la proposing to ?tr ;• ct the miiilia when called out by toe President to tie rules and artlc'es of war, I have dene no more than leave the law as it j tow stands. Such a provision has been found necessary to ensure proper subordination ia the field, by ad officers who have commanded m.iitia. t and by mine of fern was thi* necessi'v felt ani " tie freqientiy acknow’edzed than by ueneral askingtoa and General Jacssc-n.” It u not a part of our complaint that the militia u hen called out, are to be subject to the rules am a-icle* of war.
