Proai the Biliimde Monument.- THE AMERICAN TRESS. Th<? freedom of their press is the glory of ol ‘he American people. They view has one ol theirchiel blessings, as die strtmg sup port of their liberties and the powerful enemy <♦l their flies. II they cherish high ho|>es of In jure and indulge in brilliant visions of ap proaching glory, they rest them upon that liberty ot conscience, sjieech and action,which the freedom ol the press is so well calculated to secure. Independently of this, such a go vernment as ours could not stand. Other things, no doubt, tend to promote the perpe tuity of our institutions, but, without this they i would be impotent. It forms the cement that unites the walls of our patriotic temple. The value of intelligence in such a com munity as ours, cannot hut lie admitted.— Without intelligence, can the most ordi nary man in the community, discharge his political duties; can he he prepared to choose suitable legislators an! magistrates or be fit ted to sanction or condemn, important meas ures. Without intelligence, can individuals be qualified for their posts, to which the voice of their fellow-citizens may call them? With out intelligence, can the law, our great bul wark, be safely and soundly administered?— Banish from this land its intelligence, and the walls which surround os are thrown down and the feet ol our opponents are able to trample on us. If, now, knowledge be so necessary, how is it to he difiustd? How is it to he brought within the reach of all? To an unfettered press, tve must look. Its province is to make the people acquainted with their duty and at the same tim;, by its motives, to urge to j er~ ! form it. It scatters the rays of illumination far and wide. Its productions sire born, by the winds to the far quarters of the country, blessing the cottage and the mansion, and teaching ail to preserve their costly heritage It excises measures in their various lights. Systems proposed for the good of the land are unfolded, and all questions growing out of national interests, are fully and perfectly in vestigated. ‘ Are those in office, tempted to corruption? They fear the press. Is char-! iictcr assailed ? The press is appealed to for justice. And who can tell the influence, which the voice of a free pres* has, in calling j nut the obscure, in stimulating the wavering ‘ and in rewarding the brave? We place the freedom of the press on the \ Same foundation with liberty of thought and speech. If a man has a right to his opin- 1 ton, has he not an equal right to publish it—to use all efforts to disseminate it, ifi lie see proper? Abridge the freedom of the press, and, virtually, you contract the lib erty of the mind, for you affect one of the: chief instruments of its operation. The Cre ator, in giving us free minds, impliedly, at least, also gave us the jurisdiction of whatev er would carry out that freedom. Hence, i whoever fetters the press, in a like degree, interferes with the natural, unobstructed working of the intellect. These two doctrines | are connected—establish the inherent right of; the mind to think for itselfand von also estab lish its right to the use of the pres* or any other agent lor its purposes. The press like all other blessings, sometimes becomes perverted. When passions of men prostitute it to their most unholy ends, thus diverting it from its healthy channel and ma - king it a minister of evil to nianv, hmv much mischief does ;t accomplish ? Who can esti mate the moral ruin, which it has effected. Infidelity anil Licentiousness have governed it! Let it be under the control of reason and ; revelation and it will sited its rich fruits over the land. Over the rough features of the land scape it will throw a smile—peace and vir tue will brighten and happiness will flourish beneath its Entering care. Hut let it In* aKtu-wl let it lx* made a vehicle for impurity and vice and its effects will he seen and read in the debased principles, wicked habits, and mourn ful overthrow of thousands. Satinet*. —Tlie:e is a mysterious feeling j that frequently passes like a cloud over the | spirit. It contes upon the soul in the busy tu<le of life, iti the Social circle, ill the calm Mtil silent retreats of solitude. Its powers are alike supreme over tlte weak and the iron bcartetl. Atone time it is caused by the fiit -1 in<; of a single thought across the mind.— Agt in, a sound will come booming across the ocean of memory, gloomy and solemn as the death-knell, overshadowing all the bright hopes and sunny feelings of the heart. \\ ho can describe it, and yet who has not icit its > liewi'ilering influence ? Still it is a delicious guyrt of sorrow * rtlnl like :i clottd dintm eg the stmshine of the river, although causing a mo mentary sltade of gloom, it enhances the beauty of returning brightness. ,i Scrupulous fVUncss. —A eminent lawyer Was employed in an action against the pro prietors of the Rockingham coach.

Y. Herald. MONEY MA RKE T . Monday, April 9, —6,P. M. Since the revulsion last spring, Wall street bas not been in such a slate of high financial excitement as it exhibited to day. Deveiope ments of the gravest character frotn Wash ington, Albany and Philadelphia, have pro duced this feverish stale of things. Mr. Biddle’s letter against resumption, pub lished this morning, created a great sensation; ; Among many of our lending financiers, its statements, reasonings, views and opinions, were treated with the coolest and most unqual i ified contempt. It is very generally looked upon as being merely an ingenious hut flim sy defence of his own cotton operations. Many go so far as to sav. that the U. States Bank will end like Napoleon’s power on the Continent, in a general explosion. It is etir rentlv reported. Hint of its $35,000,000 of cnp j Hal. at least §30.000,000 are lock’ and up in bis old branches, in protested paper, and in other | unavailable securities—his nnlv immediate means being the uncancelled and illegal notes of the old bank, with which he has conducted all lus cotton operations. On the whole. Mr. Biddle’s letter has fallen ; still-born upon Wall street—and Ms talents :as a financier are seriously questioned. There is, however, a few who support his views, j but they are principally politicians who have nothing at stake, nr those who have specula tions not vet matured. Our opinion is that | Mr. Biddle’s policy and principles are as far wrong one wav as those ofour financiers are the oflier. The New York Banks have cur tailed too rapidly and too rigorously—Mr. Biddle has expanded, speculated, and trusted | too much to contingf nries.nnd pot-luck. A medium course, steering between both, would have been the right policy, and that course, our banks will he encouraged ,to pursue, by the developement of anew and extraordina ry policy in the general administration, which will enable them to resume and maintain their position on the 10th or lG*,h of next month. Let us explain. We learn that Mr. .T. D. Beers, ihe highly ; respectable financier of Wall Street, re- ! reived a letter from the Hon. Levi Woodbury Secretary of the Treasury, dated recently at i Washington, which contains highly important j developemenls of the views and intentions of the government, as affecting the approaching resumption of specie payments. This letter! states that the government is not hostile to the ! bnnking interest—that if the banks would resume in May. the Department would ex tend to them all its power and influence, in order to enable them to sustain that, honorable position against anv opposition, from nnv q> niter. As soon as the resumption takes place, Mr. W. intimates that the notes of ihe resuming banks would he received for pubfc dues, the same as formerly, and that no unu sual or sudden demand would be made for specie. Such arc the new views of the Govern ment. At a meeting of the Bank Committee, held on Satin day evening last, this lelter was read by Mr. J. J. Palmer to that body, and anew feeling of confidence generated generally am uig them as to the future. A few days previous to the appearance of the Secretary’s letter, it seems that mnnv of our financiers had consulted on the propriety of entering into a negotiation for the purchase of the proposed new issue of §lO 000.000 of Treasury notes. Measures had been taken to begin this negotiation, and a.n agent, in the full confidence of our financiers, had proceed- I ert to Washington to confer on ttw nmttrr. j Contemporaneous with this movement, and j p rhops caused bv a previous correspondence, j the highly important letter of Mr. Woodbury i to Air. Beers, was communicated, ns we have ! described, to the Bank Committee on Sntnr- i dav evening. On Sunday.Mn* Biddle’s Res cript was received—but it failed entirely to produce anv effect on our monev market, or on the minds of our f-om the fact that Mr. Wnodhurv had made thp first ad van es. and tiled ged the whole force and en ergy nf the government to aid the resumption by the New York hanks—thus entirely out- ! genera ling and anticipating Mr. Biddle’s great ; movement. That the New York Banks, aided, as they ! will be, both hv flit’ Genera! and State Gov- j ernments—hv the Treasury at Washington, and the whole power of the Legislature at I Albany—will resume next month and main- j lain their position, there is not the shadow of a doubt. The aggregate aid from both j sources will fie equal to a loan of §20.000,- 000, hacked in Europe bv the credit of the United States, and that of the State of New York. In fact Mr. Van Buren has now been compelled, bv the recent elections, and the force of public opinion, to change his entire financial policy—and the resolution offered by Mr. Hamer in the House of Representatives, the letter of Mr. Woodbury to Mr. Beers, together with other events, are the evidences of this extraordinary and astounding revolu tion. We learn further that Mr. Woodbury has communicated the same sentiments to the banks of Baltimore, Boston, and other cities. We are, therefore, in an entirely new posi tion, and if the United States Bank and its associates do not resume as soon as ours, a I series of expVvionS will he generated among! the expanded and irredeemable hanks, such I ns marked the years LSlfi. ’l7. ’IS, and ’l9. In otir humble opinion, Mr. Biddle Ims put j himself in the “ false position.” and not New York. If this man, or this institution, can pay debts and will not—and that man, or that hank, both can and will, which is placed in the “ false position.” In consequence of these events and views, exchange on Philadelphia is now up to 4 a 4 1-2 discount, and on many of the irredeeina points, exchange or checks are not nego tiable at all. Tuesday, Apr it 12. M. Deep consultations anu comparisons of opinion were held last night among the prin cipal financiers of the Bank Convention, the most of whom are now sojourning at the As tor House. In the session of yesterday morn | mg, no accurate deVelopemenls took place* i It appears now that very serious difficulties will he presented to die Combined action of j die convention. Among the New England Delegates ihere is a strong opposition to na ! tiling any day for resumption, for the reasons 1 mentioned in Mr. Biddle’s Ia minis letter. It is now generally believed that the impulse ! under which die New York Batiks act, comes ! from a certain clique of stock speculators in Wall street, and that such a policy is enforced i by a certain portion of the press, as a pure ! speculation in stocks. The Eastern Delegates are a’so very decided in the belief that the N. 1 \ ork banks only make a feint of resuming— that they cannot do so with any advantage to the public—and that if (hey make die an nouncement in May, the fact will not alter their position for n year afterwards. It is a ! so j stated very confidently that the Boston and ! other eastern banks, hy recent curtailments, , have brought New York in debt to them— there are $1,000,000 of funds belonging to the E ast now in our banks—and that if the New York banks resume, all these funds here i will lie withdrawn in specie in a single day. It is further said that Philadelphia is ready to pounce upjn our banks f0r52,000,000 of spe cie the day after they resume. These views and sentiments and facts come from the non-resumption party, the head of | which is Mr. Biddle. On the contrary, the resumption party, ! composed principally of New York, Virginia, j add a p >rtion of the N jnh'vy**e] i} stales are very desirous for the appoinfr/ient of a dele gation to proceed to Washington and pro cure the aid of the General Government in the effort at resumption. The other party j oppose this awfully, ant! charge the whole j policy of the New York Banks upon the efforts of -a clique of speculators, who have been making operations on London ’Change in opposition to Mr. Jaudon. From appear ances last night and this morning, it is pro bable that the non-resumption party will out j vote the others, and that the Convention may i finally end in utter abortion. The indignation ;o! the great body of these financiers is increa sing daily against the Wall street dUpie of | speculators, at the attempt made to use them merely in stockjobbing operation on London ’Change.
