If I hen the want of a legal restraint upon iUe ireuea of pajier immey ia not only the •‘primary rau-e,” but the whole and sole cause of our enilurraasnieiiti, (ihit muat ho true, even in the opinion of Governor Hamilton, or he would not have auggeiied at the close Chi* letter what he conreived to be the licit remedy for retrain ing ihn Mim a of Stale Hanki, the aourcea from which Iho country haa been flooded vviili paper money,) it rcoiaim only fur ui to enquire wheth er wo did not once poa-en. in an eminent de gree, that vciy legal restraint, and if an, where is it now? What has become o*' it? Hy whom haa it been prostrated? A faithful, candid answer to these questions solves the whole diflieully.—• We had a federal Hank lhal every body admits did efl’. dually restrained ihe Stale hank* from in oidinalo iisuea of paper money. Nay more; wo Inal the matter lea oil beyui d ill diapule. It wilt ho recidjected that wo have had two F deral I? inks, since ihe adoption ol the Coniiilulion J'he fir-1 »o regnlaied ihc issues of paper inoiicy tii.it not (tie lent difficulty ever occurred. It ex pired ami was not again re-chartered. What wail • oiise |ucncc? Iho irsues of Stale B tiki broke over all boundaries, mid overtrading, ami Anally the suspension of specie payments, over shadowed ihe country with the same dark and gloomy cloud that now m tearfully aionns with unmitigated fmy upon the best hopes and fairest prospect* of the land. The universal cty was lave u« from the tern peal—Well what ensued—The whole tnlelli fjencu of the country called aloUtl lor another Hank. Mr. Madison then President, yielding his opposition, which had been long and lieren against that ins iiutlon, gave hia assent to an other Dank. This other ilmk soon restored tilings to their ponied course. Specie pay ments were resumed, issues of paper money were wholesomely tcstraineil, the currency was regenerated from its chaos. Four hundred millions of the public money were collected and disbursed without the loss of a dollar to ihe gov ernment, ami witlionl a cenlaeipenae. Exchange* were brought down from liliy to one half per cent. Its hills circulated every where lin'd were Bought in preference to gold ami silver. Tills Dank ex pired and was nut again re-chartered. At tho lime •it it. dissolution pu»t experience uaaearneally np |iealed to,and fiitum consequences were as anx iously dep.cled. What was prophecy then ia lii-toiy now. There i« not a liihlo divination more faithfully realized than are (hose which firetdd ihe pernem bleeding condition of the country, and if prediction fulfilled, be the highest order of evidence, especially when united with ill it experience, the heat of all prophets; which leaches lint hue causes produce like ell’ccis, who can resist lire belief that we had the Ac st restraint upon those faeililies fur overliailing and specula tion which Gov. Hamilton assigns a* tho true cause of our present embarrassments? A few tclbciions hero upon the 1.-uva of cur rency it is believed will he useful to our aubse qlimit investigation.—As already intimated, cut rerre* it of a mixed character, compounded of Specie and pnper, each equally necessary to the gre.it pm poses of trade. A* well may it >,« con . tended that the laborious ami sluggish notion of the Haft would answer all the |.urpowjs of trans portation in commerce, without the agency of steam in the rapid propulsion of tho Steam host or locomotive, as that silver dollars -,vill answer tlio quick and constantly shifting operations of the same business. Indeed, paper credit is the a\me improvement upon a sp-eie currency, in ,he piir|toio« of com tio cc that the application of steam is upon tho power of tho oat. And fur ther, it ia as to its capacity of burthen, when compared with specif, what tho Ship is to iho smallest craft, and hu who would contend that all ihc immense husines.il of trade could ho better carried mi in a row-bust thin in that of the steam ship, would not ha guilty of a more consummate ami ridiculous filly, Man lie who believes tliat a metallic currency will better elfect the same pur pose ihint the paper credit system. Currency, too, though regulated In'each independent gov. eminent, and protected hy severe penal laws, has laws of its own, uninliuiluccd by civil regulation. Being the measure of vahio it ia obl.ged to be co extensive with coinmn ve. and therefore c ,n --mvts all countries with which there is an inter change of trade. They h ecatnu as effectually one country under the operations of currency us if consolidated. S > that what would ailed Iho currency in one country no matter how remote, that trades ed in that other.

(iii.?i r.K * I * In coining into our paper, some days since, an article (rum the New Yotk Herald, on the sub- jecl of the anticipated resumption of specie pay- menu hy the bank of the United States, we ac companied it with a few brh'f and hasty remarks of our own, in which the opinion wai expressed, ( that, in tint even), public opinion would compel all other hanks to the same course, and that, in ; our judgme t, no very disastrous consequences would probably flow from it. Those remarks called forth the communication in yesterday’s pa per, over the signature ot “Hamilton,” with the purport ot which our leaders arc already acquain ted . To publish -the fart as an item of the news of the day, that the United Siateh Dank was about to resume specie payments, Hamilton himself will not deny to have been our duly as the con ductor of a public journal. As such wc publish, cd it—as such, wc commented upon it. We did not approve or condemn the step. That which seemed to be 3 measure of necessi y on the part of the bank, was not a fu subject of applause or censure. It ia to that institution a question of life or death. To resume, saves its charter—to continue the suspension I eyoml ll e period of the proposed resumption, not only forfeits that char ter, hut mokes void and non-collectable, eve y non. and bill discounted—yea, every transaction ' of tho Hank since the act of suspension. Wo ' cannot conceive then, that Hamilton can la. so I ii iber.il as to censure the Bank for resuming, »f --i ter the period of its probation (if wc may sos; eak) I had expired. Any other iniiiiiilion, a* an act ol self-|ircseivation, would do the same thing. Hutto have expressed the opinion that all other Dinks would be compelled, by the force of puli ; tic opinion, to resume alio, seems, in the eyes of Hsmllnm, lo have been a crying sin. Wc spoke tint of tire justice and propriety of that "public . opinion.” Hamilton is old enough to know something of that non-desrript amt whimsical crqalura called “public opinion.” When formed upon reflection and a proper unilet standing ol circumstances and facts, it is generally correct; i but it is often swayed by passions snd prejudices nd becomes as potent to work mischief, us it is, when correctly formed, to do good. The Banks in New York and Philadelphia were the first to suspend. All other Dank", in following (hat example, in order to save them selves from sudden and immediate destruction, uniformly set up as a justification of their own conduct in that behalf, the ncco-sity under wl.u h they acted, imposed upon them hy tho enursu of the Banks of those chics. Tho public mind, ever , jealous and auspicious of Banks in suspending ' specie payments, in this instance nobly, jus ly ■ and properly suilained them. No one more sin -1 rerely approved of the suspension hy our hanks here than we did—no one more heartily rejoiced . lo find them sustained hy public opinion. If the ’ 'United S.ales Dank resumes, all (hose of New York and Philadelphia will also; and all the hanks in other places, which suspended because f the hanks of those cities did, will Ire expected, hy public opinion, to do so likewise. The cause of their suspension bring removed, Ihe suspension itself mint also he removed, 'l*ho United Stales Bank has been denounced 1 Ivy the Globe and other administration organs, as upon the verge of bankruptcy. If it resumes, there will not then be lire shadow ofan excuse left for Ihc pets. We therefore say, that wlmlev -1 er cour.e that hank lakes, it must Ire followed by Its neighbors, however juat or proper. Such at least will be tire reasons operating upon public i opinion. 1 Wo Confess that wc ourselves do have some misgivings as lo the propriety of those reasons.— [ Wo ito doubt whether it is best that the hanks i should follow the U. S. Bank in the resumption of specie payments, and that doubt springs from a want of correct information as lo the extent of the debt yet duo to Europe. It is not necessary that our hanks should remain suspended until every dollar or every million of dollars of that debt is paid off. The suspension should cease when lire foreign debt is reduced to that point, a t which, lire panic at homo having subsided, and 1 confidence abroad being restored, lire dehtois to 1 Europe cab manage to diachaige their obligations ' hy tho aid of the banks, witlionl such a drain up . on tire hanks as to leave them powerless and inef -1 ficicnt. But doubling then as we do, from a want of correct information as to the present ex tent of that debt, we repeal the opinion before ex ■ , pressed, that we do not think the very disastrous I consequences depicted by Hamilton, would fol ! low a resumption of specie payments, because we r are inclined lo the opinion that the foreign debt I is reduced to, or nearly to, that point at which Ihc batiks may resume. The panic has subsided confidence at home is now restored either by the > known insolvency of debtors, or by a knowl- edge, on the part of the creditors, that their dehis arc safe, , Hamilton asks “what is the panic?” and an swers that it is ‘-tho knowledge of the fact that the country had become indebted greatly beyond its means of paying in produce, and that specie would necessarily go to fill up the vacum.” VV ith due deference to the heller judgment and infor mation of Hamilton, wc must decline accepting Ibis as a correct definition or description of a panic. Wo lake it as, in the recent instance, to Ire an uneasy, alarmed and e.xcitrir-slatc of the public mind, produced by. mutual distrust among nun of each other’s alnlhy to di.-cha gc their debts. This distrust itself being produced by the known failure of some, and tho anticipated insolvency ol others, not known, who wi te involved with tiu-m. The recent panic commenced with the failure of Herman, Briggs & Go., carrying wiih them the Josephs, who carried others with them, and those others, othcre still, until it soon became doubtful who would stand—a general distrust seized the minds of men, and this we call the pa nic! The effect of she panic was that moneyed men withdrew their c pital from the market, and the banks contracted because they knew not whom i to trust. At this juncture, cotton lisll in Europe i Ireforo hr.lf the crop was received there, the ulan- 1 * I tet* holding tho residue locked ft up in the wan. , houses, aud thus left the merchant without the means of remitting, except in specie. This resort I tva« no srrerwr appealed to thau the bank sitsp'-n 1 led specie pax roenl*. T 1.4 failures her* ptoduc-1 w fd a corresponding panic in England, a distrust ® ind want of confidence in the ability of American merchants. But the r at| i c 'o*l ceased here —it g must »oon cease in Enro(>e. The foreign credi tor must soon know the extent of his losses, as * w. II as the extent of his debts ultimately good. — Hia mind thus relieved, bis confidence will Ire ,j restored. * But the debt lo Europe, what is its present J amount? At the close of last year our clporla > were 129 millions—our imports 189 millions ; 1 leaving altsfance againat us of 60 millions. ( Since then ihe larger part of the cotton crop and 1 other produce have gone forward, sufficient as cs- ( limated hy the New York Herald a month ago ) 1 1 have paid 25 millions—five millions ot Specie 1 have been shipped and two millions of merChan diz returned ;add to this ten millions lost to Eu- , rope by bankruptcies in the United Slates, and 1 we have 42 millions of the original debt disebar- 1 ged. Add also to this, produce, and specie (not j drawn Irom the banks) shipped up to the first of , August, say three millions more, and wc have then a balance against os of 15 millions still due. 1 With confidence restored at home ; with a con siderable part of the last year’s crop yet going forward, and the new crop almost ready to follow • it, we must repeat to Hamilton, that we do not * perceive the very disastrous consequences likely lo follow a resumption of specie payments. Sup pose that half Ihe debt yet due, say seven or eight millions must be paid in specie, the coun try can stand it, wc eh >uld think. Hamilton should recollect that we occupy an unenviable position. For three years past we have been im porting specie—out government has done it and its policy has induced our citizens to do it. We now find ourselves largely indebted to tho.c outlines (rum which Ihe specie has been with drawn—that specie constitutes a largo part of our debt. Since its imporlation it has been made the basis ot a multitude of new banks here and now when the vacuum created there by its withdrawal demands that a portion ol it should Ire returned or the debt discharged by something clse.w c close the vaults of those banks and tell the Europeans that we shall not pay un til wc get ready, and then they shall take pay in whatever wo choose to send them. Charity it is true “begins at home,”and it is best that Europe should wait a season rather than that our whole country should be plunged in ruin by the ruin of bei banks, but still ii places us in an unenviable position from which,we should Ire willing lo make some little sacrifice,to extricate ours Kea. Hamilton sbjs that <.'«tign>-s can do (lot ting! Wc have no lime today lo discuss that point, but merely ask what tic means then, when ho so triumphantly quotes fiom the paper published by the four bjnks, that "the banks cannot resume unirl tire foreign obligations of tho country arc paid oil, cither in produce, its public securities, or specie!” What public securities are meant, u.ilcss they be such aa Congress or the State Le gislatures cun create? If the debt can bo paid ofl by those, why not do it, and let the banks resume at once? An wer that! Wo think we can see in the remarks of Hamil ton, the ling ring and rankling traces of ancient hostility lo tho U. B Bank. Allusion is made to lire foreign stockholder.- in that institution, and denouncing it as essentially foreign in its charac ter, and in a tone too as if dictated by impropei tcclinga. This should not have come from Ham ilton. Let such things alone for Ihe filthy Globe and its echoes. Many of tho States of this Union, Ohio and Mississippi for instance, have created bonds and sold them in Europe. Those who purchased them there, are of course owners ol tho slock of these Slates; and it is no more dis creditable to the bank that foreigners hold a pa I -of its stock, than it is to the States that they hold a pait of fAeirs. In both eases foreigner* derive a profit from money invested in American securi ties, and wo have the benefit of theii capital a mong us. As m our being an advocate us the bank, as staled by Hamilton, wo neither admit nor deny tire charge at present. We shall give him our opinions about that matter in a few days, when we have more time and space. But Hamilton says that wo are no bolter than our neighbor, Mr. Guieu, in relation to the sus pension of specie pay inenls. Pe. hups not. We nave tried in vain to find out many positions oc cupied by him and have never found him fixed in but about one, and (hat is that he is opposed lo Calhoun and nullification. On all other sul . jects we do not profess lo know where he stands and whether or not we are following in the wake of Mr. Guieu on this subject, as charged by Ham ilton, we do not know; but if true, it was certain ly very unkind in him, to both of us, to say that wc were following “in the wake of ignorance and imbecility." Wo ourselves can forgive him lor this “unkindcsl cut of all” under the suppos . tion that Ire has misconceived the course which we steer, and as the dignity of our neighbor will not allow him lo notice any thing that appears in our paper,ho need apprehend no danger of un mhilalion from that quarter, A pod or boll of cotton has been sent to our of lice by Mr. Martin of this city, which appears to be almuJt fully grown, and would evidently have opened in a short time. Miss Maitincau niakea the following remarks on tho holy state of matrimony, which may. for augtit wc know, bo true to some extent, in other sections of the country than Now England: “I was struck with ihe great number of New England women who 1 saw married to men old enough to lie their fathers. One instance which perplexed me exceedingly, on my entrance into the country; was explained very little lo my sat isfaeliou. The girl had been engaged to a you ig man whom site was attached b : her moth, r broke off the engagement, and married her to a rich old man. This story was a real shock to me; so persuaded had I been that in America, at least, one might escape from the disgusting spectacle’ of mercenary marriages. Bull saw only tm many instances afterwards. The practice was ascribed to the often mentioned fact of the young men emigrating westwards in large numbers, leaving loose who should be their wives to t nar . ry widowers of double tltcir age. The Au'd Robin Gray story is a frequently or acred tragedv here, and one ol the wor-t symptom that s nick me was that there was usually a demand up.ll my s> inputhy in sitclt cases. I have no sympathy lot those who, under any pressure of circumstan ces. sacrifice tlteir heart's love for legal pro.stitn tion, and no environment ol beauty or sentiment can deprive the fart of its coarseness; nr.,l least of all can I sympathise with women -who set the 1 example of marrying for an establishment in a new countiy, where, if any where, (he conjugal relation should be found m its purity.” THE AMERICANS AT HOME, We will not allow foreigners to insinuate even • that we have a shadow of fault, but an American ‘ may rail at his countrymen through a whole ' chapter of vituperation, and t'tey are ax quiet as 1 lambs For instance, if Miss Mat tine tu had “said or sung” the sul joined paragraph of the 80-ton Courier, sire woultl have Iteen condemned to run the gauntlet of gibing quills, from Maine tr Tex 11.

We Iwlieve, xvnh an honest conscience, that a "renter farrago ol twaddling fooleries could not he acrajied together horn the tour quarters of the ratih, than what is offered us in the news papers, | to show how marvellously respectable Americans sic in the eyes Os foreigners; We can hardly •allc up a paper, without having some stupendous fudge of this sort thrust in our face. The silly mneompoopish things mat aie gravely put forth ■■very day, in iduslralhm of this important point, almost make us ashamed of our species. We have seen a good portion ofa solid column, hea ded -American in Europe,” ot something equally ad capiandum valgus all proving Ihe American people lo be the most wonderful on earth, I).- cause a cerlaiu merchant in Uishopsgaic-slrett was horn in the United Slates. We have seen Ihe news go the round of all the journals, that an American at Paris rodein a fine coach, with fel lows in red breeches to wail upon him, and that this equipage was thought to beat the Duke of Doddlechop's. a ciicumsiance which seemed lo lie thought highly reputable lo the nation by the noodles wlio published, as well as the noodles who read, the astounding laic. We remember tha when the King of Belgium's rail-road was opened, or his biby was christened, —we forgoi exactly which,—‘the American flag was hoisted among others which our sspient editor did not fail to trumdel throughout the land, (rom Maine to Michigan, as a superlative compliment to our respective selves,—overlooking in the raptures ot their glorification, the small circumstances that the stars and stripes were one ofa company ol thirteen hundred and sixty eight olhei flags, and that in this respectable company were tho colors ofHayti and Ashaiifee, Tunis, Tripoli, Owhy hce, the Republic of Audorea, the Imam o’ Mus cat, the King of lianlam and the (Julio Sama of J-pan; oo 1 tiial moreover the American Flag was ranged next to that ol the dutchy of Odlen hnrgh, which is so prodigious a territory, that when the Duke shakes his wig, he powders his whole emp re. In short, the ineffable sdhncss ol t s e stuff that is every day written upon ibis sub ject, i so notorious, that if newspapers prove any tiling, ihore would he no difficulty in proving die American people to he horn idiots, with not an idea in their heads, except that of their own trans cendent eloquence Sup or tub li.sk Pennsylvania.—Consi derably feeling is displaying itself throughout the city and state journals, in consequence of the or der lo finish and equip the ship of the Dine Penn -ylvania, at the Navy Yard in Norfolk, lo the neglect and disparagement of our own skilful me chanics by whom she has been erected.
