b TATE STOCKh.—'flit' following extract from th.' Nori.ilk Be-co t. st* fbriii a true view oi the prin cipal causes which h is deptiisscd our State Stocks io foreign market'. The suspension ol specie pay ntent* in this coiii.trv no <1 -übt ere tied alarm an<t produced a temporary distrust of American securities; but that art "ill he rightlx interpreted. It "ill be seen that it " is br.mgnt about bv no desire ol slimming re sp msiidii i s. or ol violating obligations, but rather, on t!te one h Hid, to enable us to meet them with more ce taiicv in the ett I. li'the men-tue ha I l«< n ti-l.>pt ed dishoae-th, th m wo d I have been ample cause tor a total loss <>f credit. Bn', our faith is as sound as oar resources arc competent* American integrity has never set failed; nor will it. so long as we remain the peonle we are. When that is wilfully viol ited we ha I better cease to exist as a nation. — Halt. Amer. It is doubtless true that some of the States have irone too fir in pledging themselves to contracts for fireisr.i capital. But as the burden of these obliga tions rests upon their own shoulders, they will feel the pressure in good time. The necessity of meetine their engagement* is iiupt-ratixe,—nor is ability want ing in atty one case, though some suffering may be the consequence The result "ill lie greater cautimi in future —the enuuS'ds of prndt nee will he listened to, when they are enforced by the adnnmitions of ex perience. Itis perhaps fortunate, just now, that our stocks are depressed abroad, -o that no ficilities tor going far ther in debt afford temptations that way. The States are allowed a breathing lime, and can pause in the high career of rinei prise and s|»‘i ul ition. They can estimate accurately the w iglii of the burden that is already a-su ued, before receiving any farther addi tions to it. Ift e Slates had gone on tin il responsi bilities had accumulated t > such an extent as t > cause despair at the prospect of meeting them, then the evil would ha.e been one of a wry dill’, rent sort from that which now afflicts tb,e country. Slate Stocks.— We occasionally hear men ofsagar itv and comnierci d experience express themselves de spotiditigly of the eicdit of American securities in the for< ign markets, and infer th it it never can be " hat it lias been, or at lea-t for many years to come. If it be meant th it th se securities will not for some time to come, be as eagerly sought bv for ign capitali-ts for investment ns heretofore, wewiil allow the supposition to be reasonable enotig' ; but if’ more be tm ant, we dissent aitogeth r from the opinion. In commerce as in o ner things, no great off ct can be produced with out a compt tent cause, and before we are "tiling to allow that the credi- of die thriving States of this con fedeiacy is utterly lo t and gone, "e must be able to see some eviib m-e of the fact. II s any one of the States threatened, or th.night of threatening, that she would sponge her debt? Fits any one nfused to pay the inteiest -.lien due according to contract ? Nothing of’the kind his Lapp-med or "ill happen. What then has i.dlicted such a blow on State credit ? We answer that State credit, assurb, has not suffered at all. it is true, we are free to confess, that State Stocks are not greedily caught tip at a high premium in foreign in irkets; but are not these same 't icks de pressed at home, " here nobody doubts th-’ S' Iveucv of the States? And win u the e bonds are selling pret ty considerably below par here, can we expect them to hold up their heads in England, while steamers art? perpetually plying between this country am! Europt? In pl du terms, St ite St' cks have depreciated just as every thing else has done and "ill <l<> in a great com mercial crisis. Il’m uiey becomes sc tree, people must : pay more fir it; and wlun money is worth A??, tirenty ' and thirty per cent, as h<s been the < ase in the cities i of this country, h>w can we expe< t securities bearing I six per cent., onlv to be in demand, or at sill saleable except at prop >ri mal rates? And if our Stocks fall ; nt home, it must follow that they "ill also decline at a ! point not m- re th m fourteen or sixteen days distant I from our comm- r- i d mail-. Add to thi», that the! inonex market of England is as Icard pressed as our I own—that the Bank o| England i* scarcely able to maimain >, i cie payim nts. and could not, peril ips, ; but for the aid oliiaimd from the Bank of France— , that this sane instit'di m h been compelli dto estati- ' lish a rate of i oeresi higher than she has charged du- ’ ring tlm present century. These considerations are j suflich'iit io act <niiit far the condition of American ; securities; and just as sure as the sky will get clearer, j and btisine»s resume i s wonted animation, all our i Suite St cks. like all other good paper, will look up ' as might as ever. _ o I In connection wilt t'd* subject it may not be inap propriate to quote the remarks recently made by the N w York Ex ress, in reference to the efforts which hive b en m ide in England to depress the credit of American State Stocks. Since the public dt*?*i of the United States has been < xtiagui-hed, mid which was largely owned in Eng land. that amount ol debt has been replaced hv ano ther desert; tion, that of Slate Stocks bearing even a greater rate of inler<»t than the Public Stock. The capitalists of the old world, bitt particularly of Eng land, have found from the experience of more than half a century, that these securities have been sound and productive; tn no instance h ive tlfev 10-t a dollar of principal or interest im ‘niter United States, or State securities. Even the first and the second Unit 'd States B inks, w hen their charters expired, pdd a large interest, —an entire capital and a surplus of from sixteen to tn• nu per cent. Thus these stock have become great favorites. They have alwns been sound, and always pi) a higher i tile of interest than an » Eir »pe m securities,—w hen the capitali-t there could gi t h ■ three per cent o i Britis i funds, or on bond mid mortgage, H,. could obtain five and six on Atmti ti securities. I is now a great object to de-troy the cred? of i »•».■ S' ite stock-, an t thus to cripple the inf mt lie cibs of’ ini- country. F--r this purpose the London Times is out, endeavoring to take away th* co ifi !euc ■ of the c-ipitaii-t- of Eu rope in all these st wks. For a long tim • past thi journal has compared them to South American stocks, arraying the losses that had b--en mule in Mexican, Columbian, Braz lian, and other S unit American B ml-, as a Bug Bear to inti -Mate the timid and the ign >ran’. It. appears th it Mr. Webster has ben called on to give an opiui n, which i-just such a one as every intelligent ami honorable man in this conn try knows to be trite and sicred, and yet becau-e it sustains ami strengthens the character of our institu tion?, and gives a fdthfi I sta erm'itt of our mean- tint! abil’ty, he a|-o receives th* shafts of this powerful Press. The writer of this ii his attacks upon this eminent expounder of our L iw* and Constitution, shows but Ids ignorance of the subject upon which lie discourses, —ami yet in a comrrv where there is so much ignorance of the United States, it would not be surprising if its articles had some influence. Avoid the man who stys the world owes him a living. If yon are p >or, it is gome consolation that you can shave yourself. I .

No ban! discounts; and the mer chants and planters are pushed upon for the payment ol their obligations—and property will soon have to be sacrificed to meet the demands of'the incorporated Shylocks of that quarter of t'm- State. . We feel sa tisfied that the compla nts of Hie people are well founded, when they’ assert, that the banks yield but little or no acci’inmodatiims to them in this critical conjuncture of their financial affairs. If the 1 egislature of our state had adopted any very salutary measures against die banks for their recent suspension of specie payments, the cry would have been raised, that the contraction-in banking opera tions was caused in consequence of ill timed legisla tion. But, the evils which were predicted would follow the action of th» legislature, have been real ised, without any important action of our general as sembly. The people are pre-sed on for payment to the banks, but the banks " ill not pav their own debts —propei ty will -non be under the auctioneer’s ham mer, and then the banks, who hold the money, will become the p irchas. rs, and the people, who have contributed their substance to support and cherish these institution*, will have to submit to baukriiptcy and ruin. Great God, have matters come to this! Is oui-lawed and insolent wealth to ride over an em barrassed people, < rti*liing commercial enterprise— palsying agricultural industry—and leaving, like the bla.-ting Siroci o, dessida'ion in its wake? Alatiers must change—the indignant feelings of an outraged people cannot long be suppressed. The people look now mainly to the banks to afford the neces'iirv facilities for the purchase of their pro duction.* ; and do t.ot expect those institutions to en ter into a conspiracy to depress the value of the pro ducts of tin ir industry. Upon their economy and prudence they depend to > flict a liberation from debt, aided by such accommodation* as the peculiar crisis of our financial condition demands. COMMERCE.

Fiom the i.ecision o! this question, the Constitution ha- established no tribunal; an 1 Maine, claiming an equal right vvi It Georgia to examine and determine it, believes that .-he is not only v iolating the constitution, hut is pl mting i er-ell up< n the great ilm trine of sttite lights. Upon a qne. lion of ilii* sort, then, "here lliere is fonmi to exi-t an honest difference of opinion, smelt it would be worse than fully to array tin* citizens of the respective States in hostile attitude, and to regard large <da. -es of the citizens, indiscrim inately, of one State, as on'y bent on the commission of crime, when entering the territory of the other.
