THE HUNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, &C. THE GLOBE. Circulation—the largest in the county MOTIVEMIIOI.O9. P 26 Wednesday, October 28, 1.857. Official. The following is the official vote of this Senatorial District : Somerset, Bedford, 'Huntingdon, Win. P. SchelPs majority Shinplasters. A. large meeting of the citizens of Harris burg was held at the Court House on Satur day evening last, "to request the Town Coun cil to issue small notes for the convenience of business men in making change." The dis patch further states that "a Committee was appointed to confer with the Town Council, and that the working men generally are in favor of the project." The Telegraph, we suppose, will approve the movement, as we see one of its proprietors was an officer of the meeting. If Harrisburg commences the issue of shinplasters, we may expect every town in the State will commence complain ing of sore shins, and forthwith order the manufacture of plasters. It would be better for the business men and the working men, if nothing less than s2o's were issued by the Banks—to this the times mist come to pre vent distress among the working classes in the future. The Extra Session. The Harrisburg Telegraph figures up the pecuniary result to the State of the late ses sion of our Legislature to the following effect: By a provision of the Relief Bill, the banks will have to pay a tax of one-fourth of one per cent. on their capital stock, on or before the first day of January next, in addition to the taxes now paid by them. This will bring in some $62,000, whilst the expenses of the Legislature have been only about $21,000. We presume it is this feature which renders this bill so obnoxious to the banks, for whose sole benefit this extra session was called. The Harrisburg Herald states that arrangements are now in progress for a grand military and firemen's parade there, on the occasion of General Packer's inauguration. Several first class fire companies from Phila delphia have signified their intention of be ing present, and we have no doubt companies from all the neighboring towns will be in at tendance. A military company and band from Williamsport will escort the Governor elect to the Capitol, and an effort will be made to secure the attendance of a large number of volunteer companies from other places. FINANCE .%.ND FASHION.—In ordinary times, says an exchange, the " marriages" and " deaths " in the newspapers numerically about balance each other. Of late, however, the former have grown small by degrees and beautifully less—but death about holds his own in spite of the pressure. The truth is wives in these days of silks and flounces, humbugs, and hoops, are come to be a luxury beyond the reach of a common man's means, and hence, like most other luxuries, they must be dispensed with in hard times. Fashion able weddings are few and far between.— Wait a little longer. Can't afford it. /315 -. The Major Generals of the several Di visions, and Brigadier Generals of the sev eral Brigades of the Uniformed Volunteers of Pennsylvania, will meet in Convention at Harrisburg, on Monday, the 9th day of No vember next, for the purpose of devising some plan whereby the General Assembly of the Commonwealth may he induced to organ ize its forces on a sound and salutary basis, and the ancient pride of Pennsylvania—her citizen soldiery—he restored to its former proud position. How PIIOPIIETIC!—The following is an ex tract from a speech made by President Buch anan, when in Congress, on the independent treasury bill: "The evils of a redundant paper circula tion are manifest to every eye. It alternately raises and sinks the value of every man's property. It makes a beggar of the man to morrow who indulged in dreams of wealth to day. It converts the business of society into a mere lottery, - whilst those who distri bute the prizes are wholly irresponsible to the people. When the collapse comes—as come it must—it casts laborers out of em ployment, crushes manufacturers and mer chants, and ruins thousands of honest and industrious citizens." York County.

SCHELL 2305 1716 1844 2457 1695 1892 5844 6065 5844 MI 147 The History of a Paper Clirrency. Some one says that the history of paper money is a history of revulsions ; of alternate prosperity beyond the natural bounds of health, and adversity as far beyond the ordi nary limits of commercial distress. This is true, every word. We need no other proof of the correctness of the position, than the scenes which we are now passing through— a repetition of similar scenes often enacted before. If the revulsion is now more exten sive, the ruin and distress deeper and more appalling, which has been caused by the pres ent disruption of a soar-bubble currency, if it is more sweeping and more intense, it is because the business speculations of the coun try have been more highly stimulated by Bank expansions, and hare been conducted on a more gigantic scale. In 1816, there were but about two hundred Banks in the country—we now have more than we care to enumerate. The causes of the terrible revulsion, the effect of which is now felt in shuddering agony in every department of society, the causes are the same which produced the wild schemes of gambling and extravagance which covered the country with wreck and ruin in 1816-17 and 1337. It was the abuse of credit —the over expansion of n worthless currency, that stimulated all kinds of luxury, extrava gance, speculation and over-trading, followed by a crash that shattered the whole super structure of society. These causes may be accurately explained by quoting the language of John Randolph, who traced the mischief to its proper source.- In his memorable speech in Congress, when the proposition was made to establish a National Bank as a remedy for the financial distress the country was then suffering, Mr. Randolph said : " The evil of the times was a spirit engen dered in this republic, fatal to republican principles, fatal to republican virtue ; a spirit to live by any means but those of honest in dustry; a spirit of profusion ; in other words, the spirit of Cataline himself, alieni avidus, sui profuses ; a spirit of expediency not only in public, but in private life; the system of Diddler in the farce—living any way and well, wearing an expensive coat, and drinking the finest wines, at any body's expense." Who can deny that it is to this same im moral thirst to become suddenly rich—to this ostentatious display of costly furniture, ele gant houses and expensive clothing—to this insane desire of acquisition in order to out shine our neighbors, that the present distress is to be attributed ? And who can deny that all this idleness, laziness, and reckless ex travagance, has been stimulated into a fever and ungovernable passion, by the effusion of a copious flood of paper money, which has borne multitudes far away from a safe foot ing, and left them at the mercy of the most treacherous sea that ever mocked the strug gles of drowning wretches in their death agony The only remedy from these terrible finan cial evils, our only true and safe means of avoiding a recurrence of them, is to do away with legislative corporate charters to print money out of paper rags ; to take from paper credit the character of money; to take from it the sanction of the Legislature which alone gives it currency, and leave it to find its own level as the mere evidence of private debt.— The exclusive privilege of issuing a paper credit -under t - de title of money, is the great est curse this country now endures, as it is the mother of almost every conceivable ini quity and distress. It is a curse in all its re_ lations and influences, political, financial, and moral. It is hostile to liberty, it destroys the equilibrium of trade, it induces a reck less spirit of gambling, in place of a spirit of honest industry, and unsettles all the estab lished ethics of property. We cannot forbear quoting again from the great speech of Mr. Randolph, in which he termed. the banking system of this country a monstrous alliance between bank and State. lie says, "We are tied hand and foot and bound to conciliate this mammon, which is set up to worship in this christian land.— Whilst our Government denounces a hierar chy ; whilst it will permit no privileged order for conducting the service of the only true God ; whilst it denounces a nobility, it has a privileged order of new men, the pressure of whose feet is upon our necks." If this was true when Mr. Randolph utter ed these memorable words in the halls of Congress,_ how much more is it true at the present time, when this privileged order of paper nobility control the whole monied trans actions of the country, the prices of labor and all kinds of property that is either bought or sold, nay, the prosperity of the nation it self. Shall we longer submit to this soulless despotism of irresponsible Bank Directors ? Now is our time. Now is the day and now is the hour. It is the most favorable oppor tunity we can ever hope to have for crushing this terrible evil, which is grinding multitudes beneath its gigantic foot. There is no half way house—no intermediate ground of safe ty. We must either crush the system or it will crush us. We must either abolish paper 1 money Banks, or the Banks will abolish ev ery vestige of our national freedom. We desire that we may not be misunder stood. We do not ask that all kinds of Banks and banking shall be abolished. We expect that there will be Banks of discount Ind de posite, which will loan real money and receive real money on trust for safe keeping. We do not expect to abolish commercial credit—that we leavo to be regulated by the laws of trade and the principles of justice and morality.— 295 But we do expect that the people will reso lutely determine to abolish a fictitious cur rency of brown paper, possessing no real value, and in fact but a certificate of debt, and return to the only currency known to the Constitution, gold and silver. This is the only important question now open for political discussion, and the sooner our Democratic papers show their hands, the better it will be for all concerned.—Phila. Evening _Argus. The new Stay Law The most material change that has been introduced in the law as it stood prior to the 13th of October, 1857, consists in the fact that one year is allowed as a. stay of execu tion on all judgments, without regard to amounts, where the debtor is able to comply with the usual conditions; whereas, hitherto ' the time of the stay has been graduated ac cording to the amount of the debt. On judgments hereafter obtained, the stay is to be computed from the first day of the term to which suit is brought. A judgment debt or could always plead his freehold, but that freehold consisted of unineumbered real es tate. Now, he is allowed to plead his free hold, if his estate be worth the debt over and above existing incumbrances. In this respect the law has been modified. Hith erto, on judgments before aldermen, three, six, or nine, months stay has been allowed, and in court, six, nine, or twelve months, ac cording to the amount of the judgment, and the stay was obtained either by pleading a freehold worth the amount of the judgment, and free from incumbrances, or by entering the security of a responsible person. Now, the time is made uniform, that is, one year, without regard to the sum recovered. But still there must be security. There is no such thing as a stay without security, and 'this egregious ignorance of the law should be at once currected. There are also qualifi cations and exceptions in the act of 13th of October, 1857, which go far to deprive a de fendant of the benefit seemingly held out to him. If he has had his stay, or if be has waived it, he cannot demand the new stay. Indeed, this provision of the recent act, like many others to be found in it, promises to be relief only in name—an empty shadow and a feeble hope. It will not prevent tin bringing of a single suit, and we venture to express the opinion that there is not one case in ten, perhaps not one in fifty, in which the debtor can comply with its requirements, in order to avail himself of its so called bone fits.—Press. THE WISDOM. Or DEMOCRATIC MEASURES.— In the course of a pointed and well written article on the wisdom of democratic meas ures, the New Haven Register remarks: "In the present financial crisis the whole country turns to it as the pillar of salvation. Formerly when the government made its de posits in the banks, and the banks traded on the money thus deposited with them, or loaned it to their customers, every disburse ment from the United States Treasury added to the financial pressure, by requiring the banks to demand payment, from their custo mers to enable them to meet the tredsury drafts. But now every disbursement lets loose the golden stream from the treasury it self, arid the banks and their customers feel the relief when most needed. The opera tions of the treasury in the present crisis, under the advice and. superintendence of Secretary Cobb, are praised everywhere, by all business men, irrespective of party or creed; and the wisdom of the independent treasury system, is acknowledged everywhere and by none more heartily- than those, who twenty years ago, would have compassed sea and land to have it trampled in the dust. "Men of the present day think there nev er was a measure so deeply execrated as the Kansas Nebraska bill; when the truth is, that that honest bill never received one half the denunciation and abuse that was heaped upon the independent treasury; and we have not a doubt that the former, like the latter, will be generally admitted at no distant day to be one of the wiset, most just, and sate measures of public policy that have ever marked the ascendancy of the democratic party. The Farmers A New Jersey Farmer hits off some folks handsomely. He says : " People say farmers are the most indepen dent class ; and pray why should we not be ? We have to work hard enough for what we get. The reason why farmers don't fall along with the rest, is because we live within our means. I own a good farm, and if I was to live as people do in cities, it would take five farms to keep me and my family. A. word about the present troubles. There are several causes for them. One is pride and extravagance, another too many banks, too much paper money, and hence so much speculation. People now-a-days want to get rich in a short time, and that without work. If we expect to be a prosperous and happy people we must come back to first principles —off coat and go to work, deal honestly, be polite, and treat everybody with respect. COIN IN THIS COUNTRY.—The Philadelphia North American, has looked into the official figures for a series of years, in order to ap proximate a safe opinion on the amount of coin now in the country. The result is re garded as very encouraging at the present juncture. There has been an enormous drain of specie to pay for foreign goods, but great as it is the coinage has been greater. This paper states that there is now in the United States at least $290,000,000. When the re vulsion of 1837 occurred, there were not over sixty or seventy millions of coinage in the whole country, and about one-half of it in the Banks to meet liabilities reaching $340,- 000,000. Croakers, who are disposed to com pare the two periods, and to find in them like causes and consequences, will do well to pon der upon the facts here presented. There are gold and silver enough to have a specie currency, and why not adopt it? Now is a capital time to do so, as the prices of all kinds of property are coming down to that basis. BURIED TREASURE COMING TO LIGHT.—The Peninsular (Del.) News says : "The people of the lower part of Sussex, continue to pick up silver coins along the coast. A friend in forms us that, according to the best informa-, tion he can collect, there have been from eight to nine thousand dollars collected alto gether. The coin dates as far down as 1718, and is in circulation all over Baltimore Hun dred. The prevailing opinion is that it is the money which was buried by Gibbs and Walmsley, the two notorious pirates, who, after conviction, confessed that they buried money in the sand in that neighborhood." Banks and Banking Under this caption the Washington Union says: " Since a portion of the American banks have ceased to pay their debts, we have been prepared for the current efforts to induce all others to follow their example.— We shall not be surprised to learn that those seeking to sustain themselves find their fal len brethren their most determined enemies. Should the failurebecome general, no invidi ous comparisons could be drawn. But as there are very many banks and bankers who will not fail, efforts are being made to avert all injurious effects upon the reputation of such as have actually done so. Hence, we see it stated in the papers, and hear it in the streets, that their "suspension was intended as a measure of relief!" - It requires great effrontery to make such assertions, and al most unlimited credulity to secure their be lief. Those having a knowledge of business and who reflect upon it, will never credit such an idle and absurd assumption. If sus pension is a relief measure, the more exten sive the greater the relief. Debtors as well as banks, should suspend. If suspension by a bank relieves its customers, of course, the suspension by the customers, must relieve the banks. Banks never suspend to favor their debtors, but to relieve themselves. They become involved for want of capital, or be cause of bad management, by setting the or dinary rules of banking at defiance, and can not meet their engagements, and then stop payment. Who is then relieved ? The banks relieve themselves by refusing to pay. This is a measure of relief to them, but to nobody else. Instead of relieving their debtors or the public, exactly the reverse happens.— They, require all owing them, to pay as fast as they can draw money from them. They contract their credits, sacrificing those who owe them, when not prompt, without a scru ple. When they have drawn in from the community as much as suits their purposes, and have retrieved their errors in banking, and money becomes plenty, they commence to pay their own debts. But they do not allow their debtors to delay payment until they have retrieved their affairs, and until money becomes abundant. If a merchant allows his note to be protested, his character is gone and he can get no further credit.— He is telegraphed as having failed. lle con sults his creditors if he is honest and wise; offers them the control of all he has, and abides their direction. He compromises and gets an extension, or goes on, as they advise. But banks consult not holders of their bills or their depositors, creditors, or the public who are affected by their acts, but the mana ging coterie of the directors' room, and con sult their own interests, and determine to act accordingly, let it hurt or ruin whom it may. The exceptions are few and tend to establish the general rule. If banks have real solid capital, and are well conducted, they can and should ply their debts as well as indi viduals. If they have no capital, or are badly conducted, there is no good reason why they should escape the natural conse quences of their condition. Pay your Small Debts The country is now, commercially, at a stand-still. There is no movement, and un til there is, there can be no life. There must be a beginning somewhere ; and the begin ning cannot be made in a better way than by the payment of the small debts which the people of the country owe to one another. The country is full of grain and produce of all kinds, and the cities are nearly empty and ready to purchase freely. Many, very many farmers are indebted in small sums to country storekeepers, and are probably wait ing until money is plenty, to pay them.-- There is no need to wait. Let every farmer so indebted, gather up enough flour, or grain, or other produce, sufficient to cancel his debt, and pay it, instead of money, to the store keeper. The latter, without a doubt, will be glad to take it, for it will enable him to pay his debts in the cities where he deals. He will at once forward the supplies thus receiv ed, and when he has thus met his liabilities, his city creditors will be able to meet theirs, in turn, and so on, until one debt cancels an other, and that another, and that another, and a few thousand bushels of grain thus put in motion, will carry relief to many who are now groaning under a load too heavy for them to carry. If this were but once begun fairly, commerce would soon begin to flow again in its natural channels, and the coun try would feel the impulse of a re-awakened life. There is no place for this to begin but with the farmers, They must not wait for the banks to move the produce, but must be gin to move it themselves, in the liquidation of their little-debts, and the after movement will 'come of itself. The great want of the community, now, is a general settlement of accounts, and a squaring up of balances wherever practicable. The same thing is true of cities as of the country. The man in the city who owes a mechanic, or trader, or manufacturer, or storekeeper, even if it be so small a sum as one dollar, should pay it now, if he is able. One dollar thus put in motion, may pay a hundred small debts in the course of a day. The tailor and the shoemaker, thus paid, will in turn pay those with whom they deal, and these will pay others, and so on without end. —Pittsburg Gazette. Pennsylvania Railroad Earnings. The following statement shows tho busi ness of the Pennsylvania Railroad for the month of September, compared with Sep tember last year: Receipts for the Road, Sept. 30, $498,546 20 Same month last year 415,949 98 Increase Receipts from Jan. 1 to Oct. 1, 1857, 3,866,133 93 Same period last year 3,631,928 81 Increase The above statement includes the entire road from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, but not the canal. About $20,000 of the income of September, 1857, over September, 1856, is due to the Columbia Railway, having been operated by the Company. This reduces the increased earnings for the month from the Pennsylvania Railroad proper to about $62,- 500, which is highly gratifying, especially when we take into consideration the fact, that the majority of railroads this year show a great falling off in their earnings as compared with last year. This is a renewed instance of the great popularity and importance of this great Pennsylvania improvement.—Al toona Tribune.

OP THE POTATO CROP IN ENG LAND.—The London Star, of Oct. Gth, says that the anticipations which had, up to that time, prevailed of a plentiful crop of potatoes in that country had been suddenly dispelled. The Star says : " Within the last few weeks, however, the rot has manifested itself in the most extraor dinary manner. Hundreds of acres will not pay for the digging, as the potatoes, although looking very well when first taken out of the ground, in 24 hours are unfit for use. Un fortunately, this sudden manifestation of the disease is not confined to any particular dis trict, but seems very general. This is very sad intelligence for the poor, as it will prac tically put this valuable esculent beyond their reach. Fortunately, however, we have had a plentiful harvest." 82,596 22 234,205 12 EFFECTS OF TUE PANIC ON EMIGRANTS.—The prospect of hard times for the coming winter has largely increased the number of passen gers going to England. Every ship going from New York to Liverpool has, it is stated, all the passengers she can carry, and multi tudes apply for opportunities to work their way across the Atlantic. It is supposed that as soon as the news of the financial revulsion reaches the- other side thero will be a decided check to emigration from the old world. To such an extent has the present cri sis affected importations that some of the New York importers, it is stated, have com menced to send back goods to Europe rather than pay the duty on them or incur the risk of not being able to sell them.

In Altoona, on the 29th ult., ANNA MAMA BURCHINELL, wife of Thomas Burchinell, in the 49th year of her age. This instance of mortality has justly occasioned the pro foundest sorrow and regret. Mrs. B. was a woman of su perior mind, of elevated affections, and of earnest, forci ble character. To her husband she seas a congenial and devoted wife, to her children an affectionate and prudent mother, to the community an obliging friend, and to all a most beautiful example of firm and unobtrusive piety.— Such being her character, the profound respect and intense affection with which her husband and children regarded her, is not at all surprising. They thel that to them she was all that a wife and mother could be, and they deplore their loss with deep and unaffected sorrow. Through the long protracted illness of this lamented friend, loving eyes watched over her, and loving hearts ministered to her wants. Nor was this all, fur the blessed Savior, who was even more to her than husband, child or friend, supported her in affliction and gave her victory in death. She was indeed a christian, and to her, death was but the commencement of eternal life. And although there be anguish in the thought that her place hero is now vacant, and that we shall see her face no more this side of the grave, yet it is consoling to remember that she has gone to a happier land where the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall lead her to fountains of living water, and God himself shall wipe away all tears from her eyes. 989 81 205 0 Her cares and sufferings were terminated by death, but not her existence. That will be, through endless eges, an uninterupted scene of tranquility and joy. "There is a calm for those who weep, A rest for weary pilgrims found; And while the mouldering ashes sleep Low in the ground, The Soul, of origin Divine, Cod's glorious imago, freed from clay, In heaven's eternal sphere shall shine, A star of day.
