The election of oar Democratic Governor is now certain,
with a majority of about thirty in the Legislature, and as
might have been exported, our political-opponents have been
Iwkiqg al>out fv some‘plausible excuse for the defeat they
have suffered; and passing by the true cause, have laid it all
ot the Jv>or. of their friends, Messrs. Lumpkie wad Flournoy.
Now it strikes us, that the petition question has had but a
•mall influence imthe Governor’s election, and in regard io
<hf oleetiobs for the Legislature, it has effected very few par
ty changes. In most of the counties where the question pro,
dueed excitement, it has changed men, but in most instances,
these elected are of the same party. Look at Putnam, Troup,
Harris, Newton, Upson, Taliaferro, and ethers, and it will
bo seen, that no party changes have taken place, although
the people were greatly excited upon the qaestion.
The truth is, that the. approach of the Presidential con
test; the disposition of many of the opposite party to iron
Mr. Clay—.the Sob-Treasury, and United States Bank ques
tions, have opened the eyes of the people and brought many
of litem, to the “sober second thought." ...
There are tbousauds of mou who have acted with the

boldly on the side of tho democracy.

SUSPENSION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS.
The Philadelphia Banks suspended Specie payments about
fen days ago, the United States Bank, otherwise called the
"great regulator oj the Currency," leading the van.
We also learn that the Banks in Baltimore, and a majority
•f those in Charleston- have adopted a similar course; and it
is rnmoured that the Bank of Augusta has also suspended.
We have heard that the Banks in Columbus, have suspend*

We forbear-comment upon tho subject, and shall withhold

which the Banks have been induced to the measure. For
the best Interests of the country, we hope they may bo able to
justify themselves in a proceeding so unexpected to the great
mass of the people.

The uncertainty that hung over the state of die English

the expectation even of an average crop; but still there
was room for hope. In Ireland, however, the question
was considered settled. The crops tliere, of grain as well

THE .IK B.BANK’S BILI.B DISHONORED.
Havre de Grace, Sept 14.
Three o’clock. This tbwn, or rather the commercial
portion of it, is quite in a coinmotion, in consequence of
a circumstance of immense importance which has just oc
curred in the mercantile world here.
You are of course aware that Havre is the great entrepot
of the products of the New World as far as france is con
cerned ; and that its transactions with the United States
of America, carried on by a double line of packet ships
from hence to New York and New Orleans, are, therefore
the transactions of the French nation. In their ambition
to. rival the manufactures of England, and consequently
to dispense with t|iem altogether, the commercial capital
ists of the country have for the last two years overtraded
in cottop., "
One of the fearful results of this gambling system of
speculation has just fallen in thro city like a thunderbolt.
This morning a bill of the United Slates Batik for a sum
of u little short of a million sterling was dishonored by the
house on which it was drawn in Havre,-one of the oldest
and most opulent commercial establishment* in France,
and connected with the house of Baring Brothers & Co.
of London. You can hardly conceive the consternation
this circumstance has caused here,- or the injury which is
ikely to accrue from it to the mercantile community. Ma
ny persons say that the act was rash and unadvised, and
urged in strong terms the certain solvency of the United
States Bank; while others, on the contrary, say that it
was a well timed and well managed tour d'addrcist y to
prevent t|ir Aincriqpo* playing the same France
as they did with England in 1837 ; that is fa'plain terms,
overreaching their too credulous European eorfespondents.
This latter opinion obtains among die majority of men of
business in Havre.
Be this, however, as it may, the American merchants in
ihis town, aj well as those native houses less largely en
gaged in the heavy transactions with the Western Conti
nent, or not so well informed as the house in question, are
all in utter despair; and the Americans, sojongeverything
with the French nation, are now as much out of favor as
they were before preferred by them. Since Havre became
the Liverpool of France never was change in so agitated
a state as it has been all this day. America is now looked
on as a bankrupt once more.
From the London Timet of Sept. 20.
It is generally believed in the city this afternoon, that
the house of Rothschild in Paris will interfere to cover
the drafts of the United States Bank on Messrs. Hottin
guer &. Co. The current version of tiro transaction most
accredited, for there are several afloat, is that of the whole
amount of these drafts, which is 6,200,000 francs, or about
<248,000 tiro amount of £60,000 had been accepted for
honor of thiid parties, and tbat-tho remaining amount of
£IBB,OOO lord been, or .would be accepted by Messrs.
Rothschild*, of course under security given. Nothing is
as yet, however, certainly known on the subject.
Prom the Morning Post, 20th ult.
The information we were enabled to give yesterday
with respect to the movements of Mr. Jaudon, at Paris,
will have prepared our readers for the result we have now
to communicate. It appears that the bills, which the U.
States Bank has drawn for seven millions of francs on
Messrs. Hotiinguer A. Co. of Paris and Havre, but which
these gentlemen did not feel warranted, injustice to tliem
selves, to accept, will be provided for kt maturity by
Messrs. Rothschild & Sons, to whom the agencies have
beeg transferred. It lias been rumored they will like
wise.undertake the agency of the bank in tips country,
on the retirement of Mr. Jaudon.
This requires confirmation. -It is well known that ar
rangements were in progress for again placing the account
in the hands of Messrs. Baring, Brothers & Co., but that
they were never completed, in consequence of cratain
conditions exacted by that eminent firm as indispensable
for their guidance and security, and to which the Uni
ted States Bank had neither acceded nor the contrary, the
determination of the President having never beer, declar
ed upon the subject. Messrs. Baring, Brothers & Co.
have doubtless expressed their disapprobation of an unlim
ited issue of post-notes, er possibly declared themselves to
'the effect that this novel medium of remittance should be
discontinued entirely. If such be the fact, we are of opin
ion that Messrs. Baring and Co. have done no more than
was dictated by a proper sense of prudence, and no more
than it was incumbent upon them to do, as a house to w hich,
from its high character and long standing, the whole of the
commercial world are apt to look as a precedent and a
beacon.
We are unable to say any thing conclusive as to the
London agency at present, but should tire matter turn out
to be as has been this afternoon reported, we should hope,
on every account, that Messieurs Rothschild have observed
an equal caution. We are the less disposed to believe
that any thing positive can be known upon the subject, as
the 'appointment of Mr. Jaudon’s successor or successors
in London may be presumed not to rest with himself. Be
the event as it may, there cun be no question but the Phil
adelphia Bank 'will be compelled henceforth to pursue a
very different system from that which it has pursued since
the failure of the tlrree great English houses, otherwise it
may in the end fall into tire same difficulties that they did.
If the president of the establisment had only sent specie
to take up his. drafts to the extent proposed, and wlriglr it
was his duty to do as it is that of the Dank of
England to pay its notes in gold, the interposition of
Messrs. Rothschild and Sons, in order to give protection to
his signature in the French cities, would have boen un
necessary.
It seems a little too much that a foreign bank should be
planted permanently among us, to interfere with the pro
per functions-of our own national bank, and to maintain an
injurous monopoly of foreign imports. Perhaps the inter
ference of Messrs. Rothschild and Sons is to be confined to
the duty of winding up the affairs of the United States
Bankin Europe. The markets are glutted with Ameri
can Cottons and American stocks of all kinds, and, as there
is no longer any demand for either, wo do not see what
else they have to do. Mr. 'Jaudon is understood to have
returned to town in the course of the afternoon.
The current rate of interest in the discount market is 5
34t0 6 per cent, per annum. There is but little activity
in the commercial walks, and there is consequently by no
means an extensive demand for accommodation.
Prom the London Morning Herald of Sept. 20.
The private letter of this journal from Paris appears t°
have afforded the best information which has transpired
respecting the causes which induced tho respectable firm
of Hottinguer and Co. to dishonor the bills of the Bank of
the United States ; but since the morning it has transpired
that, by the exertions of Mr. Jauden, arrangements have
been made through the great house of Rothschild and Co.
by which they will take up the agency, and honor all the
drafts of the United States Bank now in a temporary
abeyance of credit.
For the sake of public credit generally we are happy
to be enabled to notice the great probability of such a re
sult; nevertheless, it cannot bo denied that the United
States Bank has received a blow with regard to its public
credit that must seriously re-act upon the credit of the
commercial interests of the United States at large. We
are not disposed to be harsh in our remarks; but there is a
strong impression among most of our manufacturing and
commercial interests that the Bank of the United States,
under the administration of Mr. Biddle, has abused its
true banking power by the reckless adoption of jobbing
in produce, and its neglect of the true principles and ac
tion of banking, by directly, as well as indirectly, lending
itself to unprofitable commercial speculations. The as
surance of this great difficulty being finally settled, we trust
may be relied upon as certain; else we cannot foresee
what may be the result on either side of the Atlantic. Mr.
Jaudon has returned from Paris to London, and bis arrival
may lead to farther satisfactory explanations.
Tire stale of the weather, and the subject to which wo
have already referred, coupled with the influence of the
closing settlement of the foreign market, has thrown a
great damp upon consols, and the British funds generally.
Since writing the above we have more reason to belihve
'that the eminent firm of Rothschild A Co. have deter
mined to undertake the agency of the United States Bank
under powerful guarantees. This act will, if confirmed
to the full extent, tend much to appease the incipient ap
pearance of an uneasy state of our money markets, and
it will strongly indicate their sagacity in foreseeing its im
mediate necessity.
PARIS MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.
Wednesday, Sept. 18*
Money is more scarce in the market to day, and confi
dence rather depressed. The last news from Russia has
produced an unsatisfactory effect upon the mihds of the
best informed speculators. Great activity prevails at the
Corn Market; corn and grain were still in demand, and
have risen in price. The late riots in Brittanny, near
Mons, have prevented the free transmission of corn; but
these troubles having been promptly suppressed, the pri
ces will, it is hoped, shortly resume their former standard.
The bakers continue to experience a loss, notwithstanding
the enormous price of bread, which has risen to 17 J sous
(Bjd,) tire quartern loaf. The speculators in corn are
making large purchases, which must tend to hasten the
crisis. Fresh demands, or large orders from abroad, will
throw the Corn Market into confusion.
BANK OF ENGLAND.
We copy the following articles from the London Sun of
September 20.
The interest at present taken in monetary affairs will
make tiro public read with eagerness the account which
appeared in our evening edition, of the half-yearly meet
ing of the Proprietors of the Bank of England. We
have only one remark to make. While the country is suf
fering, the Bank seems to prosper. Th* dividend wa»
declared to be 3J per cent and the rest, from which future
dividens may be taken, is increased by <62,000. The
spirit which dictated flic objection to a gift of £SOO to the
church of England, while some gentleman of the Jewish
persuasion reprobated the objection, is. instructive. To
have an anti-Church feeling manifested in the money cor
poration is the effect es the many efforts made to excite a
factitious regard and support for the decaying Church of
England.

STATE OF TRADE.
Manchester, Friday Evening.— Cotton Trade.— The
general feeling new is that cotton wffl fall to the point at
which it was som* two years ago, and this has had the ef
fect es keeping out of the market purchasers both of twist
•nd goods; and though both have been offered on lower
terms since Tuesday, especially heavy domestics, those
offers have in most cases proved ineffectual, as no one
pretends to be so wise as to say how soon the full extent
of lire depression will take place. This general feeling,
combined with the dishonoring of the drafts of the United
Slates Bank, and the very uncertain state of the harvest,
makes iTris market unprecedeutly dull and gloomy at the
present moment.
Manchester, Tuesday.—The continuance of unfavor
able weather for the harvest, together with the account of
the non-acceptance of hills drawn by the United States
Bank, had an unfavorable effect upon our market to-day ;
and the demand, both for yarn and goods, was worse than
the proceeding Tuesday, with somewhat of a downward
tendency in prices, but without any very marked decline.
THE FREAKS OF FORTUNE.
A gentleman dreamt that a certain number would be a
prize in the lottery. The morning after his dream, which
was only a week previous to thedrawing of the lottery, be
wrote a note to his clerk to desire him to buy the ticked
immediately : and subsequently told many of his neighbers
aud acquaintances of his dream, the number, and of bis
purchase of the ticket. Being a very popular person,, all
who heard of the circumctanco were anxious (bat hisdeeam
should be realized ; and, to their great satisfaction, tire
number was drawn a very large prize. Forthwith, a nu
merous party of artisans and peasants, employed by the
gentleman in question, sallied forth from Naples, with mu
aieat instruments, colours flying, and a banner gaily deco
rated ; ou which the lucky number was inscribed, and also
tire amount of the prize, lu this manner tircy proceeded
to the habitation of Mr. , and announced the joyful
intelligence, which, it is needless to say, spread a genera)
hilarity through the house. This procession was followed
by several friends and acquaintances, who came to con
gratulate the fortirneate owner of tlie prize. Refreshments
in abundance were served out oa the lawn for the peasants
and artisans; and a collation in the sall-a-manger was
offered to the friends. Sufficient wine of an inferiour
qnnlity not being in the cellar, the best was copiously
supplied, in the generosity occasioned by the good for
tune of the host. The health of the winner of the prize
was repeatedly drunk and many suggestions relative to
the disposal of a portion of tho newly acquired wealth
were given. The news spread, and the pleasure-grounds
ofMr. become literally filled with visitors of all class-
es; when in the midst of the genera! rejoicings, the clerk
who had been a week before deputed to purchase the
ticket arrived, with a visage so rueful and wo-begone, that
one glance at it announced some disagreeable news.
Alas ! this unlucky wight had, in the pressure of more than
ordinary business, forgotten to buy the ticket! and thought
not of it until informed of its having been drawn n prize.
The rage and disappointment of Mr. may be more
easily imagined than described, when lie saw the wheel of
fortune, which had paused at his door driven to that of
another; who, having heard of the dieam of Mr. , sel-
ected the number, and became the buyer of the ticket on
ly the day before it was drawn. The refreshments so
liberally dispensed on this occasion had quite exhausted
the larder of the dreamer, and nearly emptied his cellar:
and thus ended tire affair of the lottery.
How yooth makes his wishes hopes, and its hopes cer
tainties. ' '
Hope is the profit of youth—young eyes will always
look forward.
SENTIMENT.
What is called sentimental writing, though it be un
derstood to appeal solely to the heart, may be the pro
duct of a bad one. One would imagine that Sterne
had been a man of a very tender heart—yet I know
from indubitable authority, that bis mother, who kept
a school, having run in debt, on account of an extrav
agant daughter, would have rotted in jail, if the pa
rents of her scholars had not raised a subscription for
her. Her son had too much sentiment to have any
feeling. A dead ass was more important to him than
a living mother.
