The Committee on Banks, in obedience tci'' t : ; .- Instructions of the Senate of , Penusylvania; , .;. have made a report on the extent of the sus pension' of. specie payments, the diminution and extension of discounts, after the suspen sion, as well as the solvency of these institu. &us; (From the report it appears, that of the geoenty•e(ght banks in the Commonwealth, ,forty-two suspended; and the discounts de creased t 6 the amount of $1,100,043 39. We Make the following extract from the report of the Committee: The written answers to the circulars of your Committee, prove another most important foot - - in the-results-of this suspension, to wit: while 04 banks allege that unless they did suspend 444 reuse to let their specie be carried away, they could not acoommodatoThe business com munity and their regular cuetomera with now to tine ; but, on the other band, would bo com pelled to enforce payment nf their dues and thus:incidentally produce still greater embar rassment. Instead of expanding their loans and iccommodations, they actually refuse perempt orily,all discounts anti continued to contract. and withdraw their circulation until the dimi nution in the aggregate reached over ono mil " lien of dollars. So large an amount of the ac tive circulating medium thus withdrawn 'tend sow held by the very class of institutions which were expected to aid in the trade, industry and coMmeroial operations of the State, cannot else ' than extend and prolong our difficulties. The annual and quarterly reports, as well as the personal examination afforded us, incom plete as it has been, lead us to the belief that with one or two exceptins, the banks of Penn-. sylvania are as safe and sound as those of any other State in the Union ; and nothing but an utter disregard of obligations, 'solemnized by an oath for their performance, could endanger the public: interest. The obligation between the banks and the State is mutual; they are. Invested with special privileges by acts of- in sorporation, and can make a legitimate and adequate profit within the legal and moral re straint imposed on them; and those to whom their management is entrusted should-14madd to.feel that they are expected and will lis-rer ticked to died:largo their obligations by fur nishing to the people a sound ~end reliable oarrsnoy. The character of the directory and or those haying more immediate control of thb banks, has much to do- with the' public con fidence, and more, probably, than their favor able quarterly and annual statements, made nadir oath ; and hence none but men of tried and acknowledged• integrity should have any toles in the management of their affairs.

DEMOCRATIC DECEPTION. The diffiCulties which nos., overshadow the country, in consequen l ce of sectional broils, and the practical dismemberment of the Union,kilay be easily traced to the pernicious inflii9nce of the Democratic party. •Their' thirst for office, their lust after power, thennscrupulous means they have 'ever been ready to adopt, to obtain both, have produced a demoralization so widespread, that the honest portion of the party stand aghast at the threatening aspect of our public affairs ',and the attempt now, by the leaders of tha party,'to throw the:responsibility Of our pre sent national troubles on the Republicans, is but another chapter in the long catalogue ;;,of their time-serving subserviency to the South. Professing to belierire in the equali. zation and elevation of all of Society, where education and,public•sentirnent makes ever' man the peer' f his fellow, they Way before the imperious Slaveocracy of the South, and sold their principles • for the privilege of foraging at the public crib. They are now the self-constituted guardians of "Southern rights,''—the apologists of Southern traitor, and ventilate their virtii• ous indignation against 1118 RepubliCans, because they refuse to succumb to the rev() lutions of the South ; who, by profession and, practice, execrate the vital principle of Democracy that " the majority shall rule." For the first time in the history of the country, the numerical strength of the North, has antagonized the power of the South, and the election of a Rep üblican President is made the pretext(foi' Overturning We l .Gov ernment, when they can no longer direct its policy.

Gen. Cass, the Democratic candidate for the Presidency in 1848, declared in his letter - of 1843: "We are no,alarlfelder. We never have been.— We depreicate its existence on 'principle, and pray for its abolition everywhere." The 'same gentleman in 1847, propounded, in his Nicho'lson letter, the_ dectritio of squatter sovereignty, which Mr. Calhoun declared to be 'worse than the Wilmot Proviso. Such was the man whom the exclusive Democratic guardians of Southern Itights supported against Zachary Taylor, of Louisiana. , Who was the next Democratic candidate for the Presidency? .Gen. Pierce, who in 1838. said. in. a speech in _Congress _ that _be, considered " slavery a social and political evil, and most sincerely wished it had no existence on the face of the'earth."

On the 2d of January, 1852, whilst speaking in Boston, he said: "I have the most revolting feeling al• the giving up of a slave. The fugitive slave law is opposed to humanity. • It is opposed to moral right." Nevertheless, Frank Pierce' was elected President in 1852, against Gen. Scott,—a. worthy son of the "Old Dominion I" Finally . we come down to James Buchanan, ivh'o, hi 1819, voted to instruct our members of Con gres to prevent the existence - of slavery in any new States, and who, in a speech in Oongtess, - in 1825, said : API believe slavery to be a great political and a great moral evil.. I thank God my lot has been cast in a State where it does not exist." And in 1844, in his speech in the United States Senate on the annexion of Texas, Mr. Buchanan said be . " felt a strong repugnance by any act of his to extend the limits of the Union over new slaveholding territory," but, upon mature re• Notion, had overcome his scruples, and would vote for the annexation as a "means of limit :lo, not enlarging, "the domain of slavery," stating his opinion also that it would inovila bly REMOVE SLAVERY FROM WHAT MAY BE CALLED TILE FARMING STATES,"— meaning MARYLAND, VIRGINIA, KENTUCKY and )tills• • .__ • SOUR!.

March, which "came in as a lamb," should, by the rule of contraries, have "gone out as a lion ;" but in stead of this, the test day of March • was as gentle and bland as May ; while the weather -on the first of April, would have done credit to..lanuary. There was a delightful mixture of raia,,bail, 'snow and allot, without a'rtty of sunshine to penetratethe thick gloom ; every body shivered and looked miserable, especially thosayho werosuffering under 'tight papers." In m i ll directions might be seen evidences of a moving population. Wagons and eartapassed •filong the streets, loaded with household goods, and almost every woman you met carried • a broom, a bucket, a looking glass, or a pot of jelly. Many a man sat down beSide a cold hearth, or a'Smoky stove, to rm?tittate on the pleasures of moving,aud looked With no envie.' bla feelings on the tangled EMS of "Beds, Bedding and Furniture," scattered around. however everything °mat comp-to an end, and so does moving day ; and after three days "fixing up," we hope pig... Mann) may be . able to find our friends this !miming, with tempers chastened through much tribulation, at peace with all the world, and their near lo cations into the bargain. - By the way, if any of our patrons have for gotten to notify us ofa change of residence, they will pleats do so at once, in order that the Carrier may know where to find them. - FINANCIAL.—The general aggregate of money transactions on the first of this .month may have been smaller limn in pre vious years, but 'yet not sufficiently so to justify . the pressure of the times. Some failures tot meet obligations that were due oceured, as a matter of course, but it is very' evident that there is an abundance of money in the country, rind all that . . is wanted to throw it into active cirenlatlen,- is restored conqdeace, by a peaceful settlement of our Natfonid difficulties.. In proof of this we learn flat in the Carlisle Deposit Bank the business on MOnday amounted to.over llu•ee hundred thousand dollars, with a hirge in crease in the deposit account. CHANGE IN MARKET Nouns.—lf there are any persons in town who are still opposed lo.uoon•day markets, the experiences of last Wednesday morning, would tend' in a great measure: to remove their objections. _Compared_with.the markets wehavehad_since last fall, there appeared to be neither buyers nor sellers . ; produce was scarce and high, and every one seemed to regret the necessity of going back to the old system. We understand that a committee of the Town Council, have lien appointed to pre pare a permanent ordinance to regulate the market hours. We believe they will best rep resent the wishes of the people in town and country, if they will fix the hours so as to continue the noon-day markets no long as the season will permit, say from the first of Octo ber until the first of May, at 12 o'clock in the day, and from May until October at•s O'clock in the morning. As far as we have been able to ascertain public opinion, this arrangement would' meet their views, and wo hope the Council will give the ,ouggestiou some consid oration. POLICE.—Wo understand that a member of the Town Council, intenidritolin troduao an ordinance, providing for the es tablishnient of a Night Police, for the protec• lion of property and the security of qt.ls citi zens. The amount necessary to suillithi a force of five or sii policemen, will add consid erably to the expense of the borough; but 'so many buildings have been fired by incendiaries, so many outrages committed, and so much disorder and noise in the streets, that it is a question whether it is not better for the corn-. munity, to pay tbe additional tax, than risk the further injury to parson and propirty, by the acts of lawless men. Within the list three 'months, tye bets of. two incendiaries, in the destruction of Eduoation Hall, and the Old College, have imposed on the. tax payersan extra assessment of school tax, more than sufficient to emplOy a police force for two years, His very evident that something must be done to, remedy the evil, and it is iptper.. tent that the citizens oft7oriaugb -- 'should spSak out their sentiments o this' subject, so that the Council may act understandingly. OYsgrEns.- 1 -Although the -last ,month with an "R" in it is passing away, Mr. G. W.-Foland, of the "Fhcenix Restaurant," is determined that it shall be no obstacle in the,supplyof Oysters. He' has made ar rangements to procure regular supplies of fresh oysters from Absecom 'Beach, during the summer, carefully packed in ice, so that his customers may enjoy the luxury of frozen bivalves when the mercury is vibrating among the nineties. • He has now the finest oysters we ba;re seen this season,. which he is serving up to his 'customers daily.
