CURRENCY.
Noah, in the leading editorial of the Evening
Star, which wo tccvivdd ln*t night, say-:
•' Wo e*tevm the whole specie question to lie n
humbug—wo nre stiff, ring now from having too
much specie—wo never did more or better business
than when specie payments were suspended—now
the bunk* are hoarding sp-cie, ami so alarmed at
any chungo in trade, carrying it Hit of the country,
that they will notdiscouot tho Itesl uf nuies, and the
markets is thus crippled, A bank note founded on
•vund capital, is always preferable to silver In sus
taining a proper credit system.”
And in o dor to illuurato his Whigecry on this
subject, introduces the following paragraph iu the
same column: ■ 1
“ Loco Foco Rao J’apxr in Prospective.—Ap
plicutiuns for iiankingcapital to tlie Amount of so
Veit million* of dollars, are to be noble to the next
Legislature of Pennsylvania.”
The Whig pat ty, under the control of the Dnnk
of the United Stums, lioVe deiiliurnteiy intruded to
drenoy all tlie -auctions under which property is
held and comracis eolorced, while they hypocriti
cally charge upon the indium.ms penpl disorga-
nixing principles. The suspen-inn of 1837 wits
ascribed to ti e Loco Focoi of New York, hen iu
fact it was produced by the drain produced' by the
sulo of the bun.is of the Bank of the United Stm*#,
payable in London, for the relief of the merchants
of New Yoral Thai Bank ts tw*w busty engaged
ia bringing nbouf a similar state of tilings. An im
mense amount of it* post note* hns iteen Ul ly
thrown into the maiket at rate* which give the pur
chasers from 15 to 25 per cent, per aii'.iim into est
upon them. It* broker* and dependent banks, in
ull din-cl ions, are engaged in selling these pout
notes at these luinuii* rate#; but lest the credit of
the G eat Rogulaioi migh: anff-r b* ivrour-e to
such suerifice-tn rone funds, it is premnlgat- d by

Tins bank it now currying out the necessary con

It finds it impossinle *o maintain its credit in Eng

cie- is ex|Mirt«d ul a loss of between three and Tout

when exchange is sold at 8 per rent. Are nut
theso facts conclusive proof of it* desperate condi
tion! .
The New York Evening Po*t, whinh came to
hand by la-tnight’s mail, has the following para
graph i« it* article on the money market:
*• The decline in the stock* yesterday was caused
by die United States Bank, h> Philadelphia, draw
ing on New fork for $5U(),000 in specie. The
movements of this instnuiiun are inexplicable.
Wiihtn a week or ten days she lias drawn on dif
ferent cities tu the amount of two millions, which
makes in ail seven mi.liona."
The greater part of this specie has hoen exported
at the immense sacrifice we have mentioned. While
the Evening Star, the Express, the Intelligencer,
nnd <nher newspapers in (he power of the Bank,
affect to consider specie as a humbug, and regard
shin-plaster* to be .ho only true currency for the
Democracy of this country, it* hruk«r* and depen
dent banks in all quarter* are gathering up gol I
and silver for exportation to Eng and! I* this for
the purpose of humbugging John Bull? We suspect
the design rather is to humbug the industrious classes
ofonr own countrymon; but we are greatly mistuk. n

Perhaps the Union Party could not have picked
nut a candidate who could have excited so much
jealousy and fear in their opponent* a* Judge Mc
Donald. His accomplishments a* a gentleman seem
to be considered more dangerous to their cause than
any tbingelse. It seems that he is taojfae for them.
Well, he i* a gat'd looking fellow, that’s tl fact; and
his worst enemies can find nothing in his politirol
career to urge as a serious objection to him, and
from all account*, we think we may safely say, he
will be'elected Governor, by a good majority. We

“ Mr. Clay, in company with his eminent friend,
Gen. Porter,crusted over the Niagara rivet on Tut**
day Inst, at the KitU*, to witness the parade of ih-
43d regiment, and were rec-ived with military iti-
quettoby the Colonel and his staff.”
And to thi«, another whig paper, (tho Buffalo

"In honoring such men, the gnllnnt "Forty

Now for Webster Webb, who stands Godfath

court, *»y*:
" Ho Ini* l<een much notte d by the Queen at the

"Coir/Nwie de Goar, comprised of h most *p|en*

Man Worship.—Federal geeso aro always lar-
gi*r, whiter and more beautiful than Democratic
swans. Th dr men of or Unary stature are always
giants. Federalism is given ^^Cexaggerntion and
man worship; it make* " bhfeqffts phi actric* and
love* tho uppermost seutt.” Its great men are
worshipped with an almost Eastern idolatry nnd
self-abasement; but nothing more offend* it* sense
of propriety and decorum than respect shown by
the people to a republican. No matter what may
be tne cause of its manifestation, it is pronounced
time-serving, sycophantic, base and cringing;—but.
chongu tho subject | substitute a federalist for u de
mocrat, and it at once becomes altogether a differ
ent affair: what was ridiculous ond degrading is
looked upon us appropriate and praiseworthy The
democracy of this country is incapable of perform
ing any such act of gross adulation as is described
in tho following extract of it Whig paper’s account
of Mr. Clay’s reception at Saratoga. Hero is royal
pageantry in earnest; or in the language of the wri-
t-r, u whig " feat of enthusiasm.”
" Tn this dilemma, tho four gallant horses wore
deta iled from his carringe—a large body of the
people, attached the in solve* to the i races—and with
a crock of the whip and a " ye heave oh!” the car
riage, with itH precious and invaluable contents,
wn* driven across, around, ami up to the step* that
led to the grand portico. Shout on shout followed
this chivalrous feat of enthusiasm.”— Utica Ob

THE JEWELS.
ATRADITION OF THE RABBIS.
The celohrntrd teacher. Rabbi Meir, sat during
the whole of one Sabbath-day in the public school
instructing the people. During hi* ub*«nce from
the huuso his two son* died. Bothof them of uncom
mon Itenuty, nnd enlightened in the law. His wife
bore them to her t>ed chamber, laid them upon the
marriage bed,nnd spread u white covering over tlieii
bodies. In the evening the Rabbi Meircame homo.
Where are mytwo*ons.’ he asked, ‘that I may
give them my blessing! I repeatedly looked round
tho school, I did not see them there.
She reached lo him a goblet. He praised the
Lori at thn going out of the Sabbath drank and
again asked—
‘Where are my sons, that they too may drink, of
the tup of blessing!'
They will not b * fnr off,’ she said and placed food
before him, that he might eat.
He was in a gladsome and genial mood; and when
he had said grace after m vl,she thus addressed him:
Rabbi, with thy p-rmDsion,! would rainprop<*i»
to thee one question.'
1 Ask it, then my 1 <ve’,he replied.
A few days ago, a person entrusted some jew. 1*
to m#'’custody, and now he demands them again:
should I give then up!'
* This is a question,’said Rabbi Meir, ‘which my
wile should n-t have thought itnecess'nry to nsk.—
Wbnt would’si thnb hesitate or be reluctant to re
store to every one bis own!’
No,’ she replied, ’ but yet I thought it best not
lo restore them without acquaintingthee therewith.’
She then led him lathe chamber, and, stepping
to the bed, took tha white covering from the dead
bodies.
Ah my *ons, my son*!’thus loudly lamented
the farther; ‘ray sons! the light of mine eye* and
the light of my understanding!—I wasy oui farther
but yo were my teachers in the law.’
The moilrtjt turned away and wept bitterly At
length she t-oik h- r husband by the hand and -aid—
Rabbi, didst tlmu not tench me «hat we mu-t not
lie reluctant to resume that which wn* eniru-ted to
our keeping! See th** Lord gave, the Lord ha* taken
away, and blessed be the name of the Lord!’
Blessed lie the name of the Lord!'echoed Rabbi
Meir, ' and blessed be his name forthy sake too for
w, 11 iti* written, ‘whosoever hath found a virtuous
wife, hath a greater treasure than costly peiul#; she
npneth Iter mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue
is the law of kindness.’

Two friend* and brother lawyers of mine, were
travelling some venrs since, on the *‘ circuit.”—
Their rout* M thi’tn across the sandy hill* thBt
form the northern boundary of the Maremahn, one
of the noble river* of our beautiful state. Those
hill*, or ridges, however are a* barren and deso
late a* Arabia Potnea. You might plant u Yankee
there, nod hit would not grow! Perhaps, uftor thi*
asse.-i.ion, it would be “ surpluss'ige” to suy, that
no cfloit of industry or ingenuity could conxa blade
of gras* to tear its head above tho sterile soil. It
was a rainy, gloomy day, nnd nftcr travelling for
somo lime without encountering any signs of human
lile their hearts were cheered by the sight of tbe
" smoke that #o gracefully ’curled,” and they knew,
forhwith, “that u cottage was near.” And sure
enough, there it was. A clumsy, ill-shnpen log
hut, witlt inierstics, or, to speak more classically,
chinks,” wide enough to throw a sizeable bear
through.
My friends dismounted and entered. A fire of
pine-wo.K*, or light-wood, u- it is tcchuicallyculled,
blazed in the clay chimney. In onn corner of the
fire-place were budd ed n bak.-r'* dozen of" yellow-
complected" hnit«- A lull, guunt female, with
long, uncomln-d tresttW, or hunches of coarse red
hair, wn* sealed upon the floor; whi'o in front of
the fire, and occupying th» only stool in the hovel,
sat the‘lord of the soil,’ shivering under the ma
lign influence of u tertian ague,
‘G uni morning, my friend.' said one of the visi
tor*. who is celebrated fir hi* p diten-ss and ur
banity.
Morning!' wn«thn laconic and echo-Iikn reply.
(I Imlinve that an incorrect expression. Echo, like
woman, nlwnys gives the latt word )
* Fine situation you have here, resumed my bro

Fine h—!!!’ responded the ho#t; 'what’s it fine’
for!’
“ Whv I should supposo you hnve good sport
here, in hunting.’
Then you'd suppose »d—n He. You can't hunt, W0U

we will give him credit for his frankness. Wo are
