'GREAT LOSS OF CONFIDENCE =I The.Brst fruits of the northern Abeliturn mid upon the Constitution are beginning to show themselves in the general loss of con ildence in the stability of the federal Union, and the consequent depreciation of stocks, the suspension of trade. cow/memo and bills of exchange. The Sorth furnishing the great export staple of the country, necessa• rily draws npon.northern shipping marts for the bahrocc of trade. fritherto they love taken that balance in our northern produce and manufactures. Now, under the press ure of northern nulitication and oppression they have withdrawn their orders, and in lien thereof have drawn the specie limn the New York Banks, and now with perfect im punity close their own hatches. New York Banks were compelled to do tho same thing to save themtielves. On Thursday the Banks of Philadelphia and Baltimore also impend ed. Before the - week expires there will probably be a general suspension all over the country. tVhit,t is the cause of all this ? is the natu ral inquiry. If the statements of flanks, made under oath; are to he relied upon, there was no ne cessity Tor such a resort, in a general corn mercial view. They were all well supplied with specie. Indeed, one of the city Vaults asserts, under oath. that it has five dollars of specie un'i'te sufults fur every two in'circu Talton, and yet it closes its dodrs against note-holders and depositors. 'there must be some other cause than a want of mes 7. If we take into consideration the fact that city Banks are nulled mainly by the busi ness conanunny, that thew dtipositecusto . mess are business uteri, we may arrivie near er the mark try deelar❑ g the suspension of ' tilo,ltarrks a virtual suspension of the entire business community What has produced this f is answered by the almost unlyrrsal admission that the mighty edifice of confidence and credit has been shaken to the very centre by the civil discord brought about by the nullification acts of northern Aloditionists, and the feel ing of resentment and retaliation everywhere manifested in the South The Brat panic is over The fruits are to follow. Business suspended labor ceases to be in demand. The small pittance earned and locked up in the savings' tianita, by thrifty industry, now d'scharged or 80011 to be thrown out of employment, will aid, by econemy, to eke out a hard winter ; %Ails the less prudent will suffer the extremes of poverty, leading in many instances to the worst resorts for bodily sustenance All this, and more we fear, to satisfy moral fa naticism run mad.

Bit Va , Nov. 19, 1860. Sir Yesterday morning T received your extraordinary letter of the 15th inst. I am really at a loss to unilerritand what good end you expected to accomplish by the prepara tion and transmission of it to Inc. The country is deeply ea cit ctiona I feiling reigns supreme. The Union is seri ously threatened with disruption. Patriots end conservative men of all parties. East Wtsi, North and South, are looking to the future with leerful and alarming apprehen midis. The prudent. considerate, reflecting nitiols of the nation ate engaged in laudable and noble aorta to allay the excitement, store confidence and kind feeling, remove all irritating causes of diflerence, and, if missible. save the Union from dissolution It is at this time. and under such circum stances, that you send me a letter denuncia tory of the motives and conduct of a portion of the Southern people, and which. in its tone and spirit, is well calculated (limps it was not so intended) to add fuel toja' flame that is fsicning with sufficient intensity now In 3 our haste to assail your Southern fel low mittens you seem to have forgotten that your own State is, to some extent at least, I responsible for the present alarming 'crisis lin public aflairs If I ant not greatly mis taken, Pennsylvania is one of the eleven non Mast holding States which have passA stat utes, now in full force and effect, designed to obstruct the execution of the fugitive alavig law ThoLutoue of the grievances °initial' the Southern people have complained for years : and although earnest and respectful appeals have been addressed to you to re move this cause of irritation and complaint, those appeals have passed unneeded. As a conservative man, who ardently de sires the perpetuity of the Union. under the Constitution, f appeal to you, and to the conservative element of the North, to arouse yourselves at once, and initiate the proper measures to secure a repeal of those obnox sous laws. Such action on the part of your Legislature will have a most huppy influence in relieving the Southern"mind, and rester ing peace and quiet throughout our now fearfully .excit•d. country. The South asks only for the fair and faith ful execution of the hives passed-for the re covery/tied protection of her property—that you will cease to embarrass and lend your aid to effect their execution, according to their letter and spirit—that if her property shall escape and be found in the non-slave holding States, you will see that it is prompt ly restored to the rightful owner.' Surely there IN patriotism enough in Pennsylvania, and the other non slaveholding States, to grant what the law has declared to be our due, especially when the preservation of the Union depends upon it. In concluding this -branch of the subject, permit me to add,- that if the North will respect and uphold the rights of the States, the Union will be per petual, our country will continue to grow in power and influence, the people of all sec tions will have secured to them thikblessings of peace, quiet, and order 3 and a prosperity, such as has neveslieen krfown or appreciated in our past history, will be the necessary re sult. It will require prudence, wisdom and pa triotism, to avert the evils now impending' over our country. Urimination and inflam matory language can have no other effect than to exasperate, and thus precipitate • result that is already imminent. In this hour of danger to-the Union it is the duty of patriots In all sections of our country to cultivate a kind, generous, and conciliatory Sprit, one towards another. Your letter. ttbweVeg, breathes nothing of thief kind ; you taunt the South with your superiority of numbers, and threaten to entail than by your fancied power. You assure me that "two fiundred Virgin ians" have agrsed to place themselves under your "cotninaml in event of disithion," and that you arc at my "service" and wilt my '•orders." ' Virginians owe allegiance to thim i Commonwealth, and I have to much respect fur my fellow citizens of all parties to suppose ihat "two hundred" of them in any pail of the, State are willing to go to Pennsylfania for a commander, even if they had determined to aid in the negraoiotts work of reduoing a Southern sister State to the abject condition of a conquered , myinne of the Federal GovernMent.

If you desire td' march against a Smaller' State, for the pur pose mentioned in your letter, raise your troops St home, and present them to the sons of the South, nut "fobd for guopewder."— We have other and better use for Virginians. As your letter is of n public charatter, and as the people of this State may feel some inierest in your views, I have thotight it ad visable to publish it, accompanied with my n 1 re ly.

Brisbin: One of the incidental advantages of popu-r ler commotiona is, that it brings struggling greatness from 'obscurity into the broad light of day. The bookish,reader will remember many such instances,wherein "village Damp dens," such as the poets tell of, who 'were In fore unknown, have soddenly became no ted and occasionally notorious A case of this kid is before the public limo Our present political disturtiniiti have brought out Wallin— Hokin', of Belli.lonte ho has taken the South in hand and has written to that effect to Governor hatcher. We print lirisbin'n letter to the Governor and the an': swer of the latter, (or the benefit of the pub. lic, and to the end that there may be immure urit.aNineas on the giihject or secession Bra bin tins settled that little matter ; and nei ther the President in power, nor he who is to conic in presently—both of whom have been somewhat. disturbed on the subject-- need bother their heads about it any more. Disunion is to he crushed "as a strong man crushes an eggshell," and Brisbin more than intimates that ho iv the etr'ong man alluded to Dr. Winship is but a weak brother be side the Sampsoniais linshin. But let us look to it, that we preserve his power. Let no misguided enthusiasts send to Brisbinfor locks of his hair, or our newly found chum pig) may be shorn of his strength ; and who then will crush out secession ? It is true that Brlftbin will still have left the osseous weapon 'with which the Scripture Danite slew the Philistines, lout we should take no un necessary risks on the strength of that. It, is- important, too. that Brisbin should be kept away from the temptations of the Cen tre county Delilahs The Bellefonte people should see to this at once. "If we ..re to have disunion, let it come now ' ' Such the defiance which the valiant Brabin casts into the teeth of the unofilmil mg Governor of Virginia Ajax. with his breast bared and hie head thrown back to meet the stroke of the thunderbolt has been thought to present a floe picture of sublime daring. Yet it is but a feeble spectacle com pared with the audacious courage of Brisbin "I would rather have this danger in the past than in the future:" From this, it is clear that Br abut can't stand It any longer. "Ills soul's and eager for the fray " But powerful, defiant and impatient as lie may be, lie does not, after all. totemd to mo nopolize the honors. According to his cal culation, "twenty-eight millions of freemen in the North are ready to Meet disunion now." hi taking exception to this state went, it is not our purpose to dispute what the Bellefonte hero says as to the eagerness with which the '.freemen of the North" are panting for civil ear ; he seems to be. Ora eminently well informed, and doubtles knows all about that But our diflere.nce with Brisltin, is in the matter of arithmetic. It has lately been a subject of regret through. out the country, that the census 111 riot cum. ing up to our sanguine, not to say hangout ary expectations. Some fear has been en tertained that our Northern enumeration may 'notn reach the eighteen millions which [lick man moderately put it at, when he last nuts. tared the forces. Even Brisbin must admit this ; but with the contempt which every true genius entertains for figures, he boldly Icarries us up with one dash of his pen, to "twenty eight millions." It is characteris tic of a mind like Brabm's to ' swell." The right of a State to sic , de from the Union has been somewhat diketuti in past times, and Is supposed tos i ngage the 'War den of sane of our slate:awn to-day. But that is idle work on their parts, and that they ever allowed it to occupy their thoughts for a moment is truly surprising ; "it is preposterous' —that's what Brurbin says.— We ave cherished a tradition that this woe the subject of one of the most memorable intellectual conflicts in our political history ; that Webster, in order to overthrow the champions of secession, was obliged to bring to the combat the profoundest energies of his great mind. Yet how vain and superflu ous were all his imposing labors! Why did he not dispose of the question at one dashers Brisbin does, by informing Llayne and Oil lipun that •" the right of secession was pre posteroys I" This is all the argument the tremendous Brisbin condescends to bestow on so shallow a political problem. But Web . as riot Brisbin. Before we part, Briabin, may we not ask, if you are sure that you have not applied that sonorous adjective to the wrong subject 1 - Our doubts on this matter were so painful that we turned to Webster'a Unabridged to' allay them. "We found that "preposterous" spans "absurd," “foolish." Have you. then, no apprehension that it is yourself, 0, Brisbin, that is -preposterous 'V Neverthe less, we adviiieyOu to stick to “prepotiter• ous.' , It is' es clear us smilight that the right word for you is "preposterous." Let us now turn briefly to the other side of this correspondence. The letter of which we have been speaking wTI written by Jas. S. Brisbin to Uovernor Letchee, - df Virginia. Mr. Lotcher has taken the trouble to reply to it, and this he has 116iii4 in a temperate, sensible and statesmanlike epistle. which we also publish, and hope will be generally read, The Governor calmly, hut juatly,rebukesi his obtrusive corresponacpt., He reminds him that at this thrie, Whin the oollntry Is excited, when sectional feeling reboil, whets the Confederacy is seriously threatened with disruption, and when the prudent, consider ate and irefleeting minds of the nation are engaged in laudable and noble efforts to allay the excitement, remote all mita i canna. restore abundance and kind , If possible, save the.

The suspension of the banks did not have the eflect in improving the market that sea expected. We saw that it would he only evanescent ; that no managemetit or arrange ment of the money histitutione, which had fur its tows the locking up of three or four millions of coin. eennot be calculated to re. store public confidence, and must, work great anklncalculable injury .to the industrial classes. The Ledger very truly and proper ly says Open auspension,Asr the covert thing. nn der the name of "arrangement," as at New York, being confessions of weakness, and violations of promises in the shape of unpaid circulation and deposits. are not ante calcu lated to inspire financial confidence, and as ad the difficulty in procuring money results from a want of confidence, we have ever looked upon suspension as a very indirect road to establish ease in the motility market ThZise who thus reason, do so ore the pre sumption that.the banks are the mime of supply of money, and that as their bills are scarce or plenty is tansy ••tight" or easy." This is a mistake. - The amount oh - al-edit and private discounting in all commercial communities, between individuals, islinfin • itely greater than the daily discounts by the banks. and while individuals entertain a feeling of distrust, it is otkt, of the power of the banks to re-establish it—and especially by so indirect a preemies' as the immediate and united destruction of their own credit. The true remedy, so far as the. banks have any influence, lies in an opposite direction. The suspension of specie payments can only flndlavbr as a step toward enabling them the more firmly to establish their own credit and thereby aid in establishing credit and confidence between individuals.
