Therefore, Resolved, That this Bank is nndcMhe necessity, for the present of suspending specie paymci ts. Resolved, That every exertion will be made by' the Directors to collect ibd debts, and convert into cash the assets of this Bank, for the purpose of resuming payments in specie al the earliest possi ble moment- , Resolved, That llic foregottigpreamble and res olutions be * BJxtract from like mlntiles. ■, A.

On Pr day morning, (all confidenco being gone,) so great was the run upon them, that most of these institutions found it convenient to suspend in whole or in port—-and before 3 o'clock in tin; stfter noon, all - the - banks, except the .

Where all this id to end'time only can. determine. On Friday, application was made to the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia, for a citation against the President, Directors and Company of tlie U. S.

The application Tor the writ was made by a grocer named Andrew Miller, who had been refused pay ment at tho Bank for eighty-two $lO bills.

Mr. Van Buren was awa/c of this fact when the suspension of 1937 took place, ami therefore recommended that the Gove.rnmnft should bo separated from the Banking interest—in other words, that in order to protect the funds of the nation, bn Independent Treasury should bo established.'

It ’will be r&* membered by every man, woman and child, almost, in the Commonwealth, how loudly the Federalist* prated about the extravagancy of Mr. Van.

After all this clamor, it is worth white to note how far the practice of these persons corresponds to their professions. As I looked.in yesterday upon the Whig Reform House of Representatives, the first thing that met my ryes was a pair of splendid gill candc/ahras with diamond cut glass drops, one on each side of the dandy \\ big Speaker, the better ncTdoubl to show to the Vulgar crowd in the galleries, the sublimity of Ills whiskers and the graceful arrangement of ids hair.- Heretofore, our old fashioned, plain country .speakers wejy* content with plain lamps; but our/reform r whig.

He was elected to the Legislature at various times by the opponents of the Democracy—and his conduct upon all ,occasions has been marked by a bdtdrices and perseverance worthy of a better cause. ' All knew his character and and every body know exactly where to place him,, But not so with Mr. Pentose. Ho’was elected expressly on anti-bank, principles by the Democratic party in 1833—and was one of those who proved recreant to liis party trust in. 1836—voting for the.re-char ter of the U. S. Bank, and throwing Himself into the" embraces gf the Federalists where ho has re mained ever since. On the score of consistency', then, (which should be esteemed a virtue by all holiest men,) Stevens lias claims upon Gen.

It is none of oiir business to interfere in those “family quar rels”—but wo cannot help thinking, fill things considered, that Stevens is much better entitled to favor at the hands orGeri.'

Shall'we, have a war with Great Britain? .This is an important inquiry, and wo must confess* that while we think allairs arc fast verging to. such a crisis,.and while wo for onc/would almost rather pray for it, than continue to see out ling insulted, ’and pur territory violated, at the will ofabold, de ceitful, and unscrupulous nation, wo are not pre pared to hazard a prophecy on. tho subject. Let us look for a moment how. wo stand, and at the difficulties and disputes, in being and anticipated, in the way of a permanent reconciliation between pur government and that of Great. Britain. Irt the first place there is tho case of the Caroline &qd the McLeod case. Here is a ftuitihl subject for a bit ter quarrel, and wc arc much mistaken if it do not end in a violent rupture. It has been already so fully alluded to we will hot gva'sto many mere words on it. The capture of McLeod will hurry matters to a settlement of some kind, McLeod is nut yet indicted for his share in the iniquitous murder of the night of Ihe SDth December, 1837> at Schlosscr, and is hold on a Magistrate’s war rant merely, hut the matter will go before a Grand Jury directly, and that he will be indicted, tried, and if guilty, convicted and hungi there can bo no question—provided ho bo not rescued, or forfeit his bail and elope, one of which two things we think will decidedly happen: Either way.it* wilL accelerate the settlement of the affair. Tliu next thing ia llio North Eastern Boundary. This appears to grow inure difficult of adjustment the longer it stands. Like the outrage of tho Car oline, it has bceiialtended. to but tamely by our government, until our opponent begins to think, wo suspect, that .wo are very indifferent™ the sub ject. Wo? are glad-to see that Gov. Davis of Massachusetts, Federalist as ho is, entertains prop er views in relation to it. In a late niessago- to the Senate of his State covering certain resolutions from the States of Indiana and Maine on this im portant and exciting topic, his language is quite democratic, noble, spirited ;and patriotic. - He conceives, and wo thiiik justly, that there is at present, but a dim prospect of a speedy end to the controversy, Great Britain evincing no disposition to bring tho question to an'issue upon its own mer its, but preferring a tone of haughty and cavalier character, that may answer well with'some hut which, forbparing.and slow to anger as wo are, will accomplish nothing with our own. Again .there is the dispute about? the Oregon territory, which?.will yet or wo ere mistaken, assume on aspect still more serio'us than that of the North Hast Boundary." The whole region watered by tho Columbia Bivcr is known by the name of Oregon, and covers over 450 ftilles of Qqpst on tho • Pacific. It unquestionably belongs to us, and yet Great "Britain is quietly taking pos session of it, and will hot,ho induced to abandon "it without a quarrel, Tho Hudson’s Bay Com pany have occupied it for sonic years, and now ptolessownorship.wlulelhoßrit'sliputliament lii 183lj actually passed an hot declaring the crim inal law of England to he in force in Oregon, from the Rocky Mountains to the very confines of Ar kansas and Missouri!

The whole conversation here Tor the last two days, Is about the third and final Suspension of old Mr. Uitncr’s big “Balance Wheel,’* the U. S. Bank. This event occurred on Thursday afternoon abouVtwo o'clock, at which lime a draft for^LOO,^ was unable td meet it. Tims this.great “Regula tor of the Currency,” after lingering under a pain ful debility for five years, lias at length yielded up the ghpst, much to the chagrin' atjd mortification of its Federal friends and retainers. There are rumors afloat here for an hour or two past, that several of the other Philadelphia Banks have suspended-, and that the'Branch Bank of Pennsylvania, m this borough, has followed suit. This is only “the beginning of the end.” ' The Democrats have for years been contending that the. present banking sysluin tvas corrupt and rotten to the .corcyand that healthful and invigorating reform was absolutely necessary to Save tho banks as. well as tho community from‘the'disasters tivliicli wqpld. inevitably lake place. The Federalists have uniformly taken opposite ground, 'ahd have born able by some means or other to baflle ail the attempts of the Democracy. How mucii longer they can blindfold the people in this matter,.time only can tell; but 1 do think this third suspension of tho “Monster’’ and its satellites, must ot neces sity tear tho bandage from the eyes of every honest man in the community. ... This is the commencement of “Harrison and Reform”—and as a majority of the people wished a change of administration, of course, we, who were in the minority, must submit to it. Federal reform, however, is like the fruit which is said to grow tin 'the banks of the Dead Sea—pleasant to tho sight, but revolting to the taste. Tile Anti-masonic and Whig factions are be ginning to show their teeth. A Tier tho -1 th of ftlarob’thcy will be at each.ether after tho fashion of the Kilkenny oats The Democrats can look on and smile at the melee. A message was received from the'Governor In relation to tho loans authorised at the last session of the Legislature, from which it appears tht tof the loans so authorised, only. $2,830,697 51 has been taken, and that of this sum, about $lOO,OOO has. been obtained frdm private individuals; and the balance from the Banks nndcr the compulsory provisions of the Resumption Resolutions, and that the sum of $301,720'05, remains yet untaken. It is also stated that the Girard Bank refused to take | her proportion of‘the-loan as required by the Re sumption Resolutions, and that several other Banks' did likewise under, the.plea of non-suspension.— The message was reTerred to tho Committee of Ways and Means* Citizens of the United States:— Let it 'be remembered' Hint Branidreth’s Vegetable Universal Pills have now been before the citizens of the United States for nearly six years, and used by hundreds of thousands! Tliey are so well known that it need scarce ly be mentioned that they are Purgative Med - Seine,” so "justly balanced’* that the “expe rienceofa century” hasproved that they may' be taken in‘any dose, according to Nature’s requirements,—and this rule refers to both sexes and all ages. They have been used in every Variety ofdcrangements of the human body, and yet, when properly used, never failed to restore to health, except in those cases where nature was exhaisted before the pills were commenced with. Experience has,taught that. tVrahdrelh’s Vegetable Universal Pills remove all corrupt humors from the body, in tin easy. Safe and effectual maimer; producing no effect but what will finally conduce to the purification of the blood, and thereby cure the disease, (whatever name it may be called,]and give perfect-health to the whole system.; • Remember, 'arc not permitted to sell iny Pills—if you puchascuf them you, will obtain'a counterfeit. ■ ■>:.
