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."

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.

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

THE FAILURE. 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

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.

Card, Blank, and Handbill Printing.
[From the Report of the Committee, on Printing made at the
third Annual Exhibition of the Huntingdon county -agri
cultural Society.]
"Wm. Lewis, for the "Globe" office, exhibited a large va
riety of mercantile and legal blanks, business cards, and
handbills, which came more immediately within the divis
ions to which premiums were allotted. They were evi
dently copies of the custom work done at his office, all
tastefully got up, and admirably executed, reflecting great
credit on the office, and would compare favorably with the
work of any office in our large cities.

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.

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.
The ScT-T is but a spark of fire—
A transhnt meteor in the sky:
The Sort, immortal as its sire,
SIL‘LL NEVER MS."
