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.

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!

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 tervtr. 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.’ An American Poetitss.—Mr*.
