DELIBERATE MISREPRESENTATION'S. Our quiet neighbor of the Herald V in tin Arti cle under the caption of “ the Relief Bill,” last week, nmUca Assertions which exhibit cither a want of knowledge or a disposition to misrepre sent. “A decent : respect tc the opinions of mankind,” induces us to notice them. The Htrnld says *. j " If there are evils in the banking system; ; they arc chargeable to the Democratic parly. j Every bank in Pennsylvania, with few excep tions. have been ushered into existence under successive Democratic Administrations.” Every man of ordinary information will pro- 1 nouncc ihe above a misrepresentation. The writer of it knows it to be false, and he certainly | entertains a poor opinion of his render’s intclli- j grnce, or he would not dare insult them by making assertions like the above. “ Every 1 bank in Pennsylvania, with a few exceptions, 1 have been ushered into existence under Dcrao- | cratic administrations 1” Gan our neighbor j inform us how much of the banking capital of I our Slate is chargeable to Gov. Pollock’s ad-1 ministration alone? If our memory serves us, about one sixth of the amount has been created since Gov. Pollock was sworn into office. The last session of the Legislature- occupied two-, thirds of its lime in passing bonk bills, and the Governor signed them as fast as they were pre sented to him, and this 100 in disregard of pub lic sentiment and in the face of bis own profes sions. The Ritner and Johnston administra tions were equally rcckfcss in favoring the pas sage of bank bills, ns any one acquainted with Slate politics will admit. Again,*lhc fferoW says : " Democratic candidates in their love for the “dear people,” have denounced the banks ns dishonest ami the system as corrupt, and have appealed to them to place the reins of govern ment in their hands, ns a guarantee that their interests would he cared for. The people have taken (hemal their word. If the now admin istration practices what they have preached, they will introduce radical measures, root out the banking system, and reduce everything to j specie basis.

Coin TSi Paper Cnrrcncy. No suggested reform of tho Banking- system l la worth consideration, saysllio Pennsylvanian ,• that la-not based on tho idea of more coin and less paper currency. Tho groat evil of a paper chculallng'mcdium Is, that It banishes hom ac- tual uso a volume of coin equal to tho' amount of paper Issued, and thus puts an enhanced and delicious value* upon all articles. Prices at nil limes rise or full with the value of money.- If, IbcrclorG, money Ue cheapened prices will advance In a compounding ratio, speculation In all kinds ot property wHI bo fostered and en couraged, and a most deceptive and dangerous system of finance and business forced upon the country. This is plainly to ho seen in the prac tical workings of our Bunking system. The present crisis, through which tho country is passing,.owes its origin entirely to the paper money system. If we have over-traded, lived beyond our means, bought more than we should, lonsurocd more than wo earned, what has been tho provoking cause of all this thoughtlessness and folly 1 If the value of money had been steady—lf a dollar could command no more one year than It did previous to Hint time, men could have measured their earnings and outlays, and lived on a parallel with their prospects in the future. But the Increase of paper money and Us attendant Bank credit drovo coin fiom cir culation, deranged the value ol nil commodities, allured trade, commerce and manufactures into a wrong and dangerous path, and thus prepared tho people for that unwise and suicidal policy from the effects of which they arc now suffer- Upon (his question of more coin and less pa per currency, we desire to present some extracts | from the messages of Gov. Bioi.kh. They will i be found interesting at tills time, when the peo ple have found out by biller experience the , soundness of (bo Governor’s views—l lie truth fulness of his predictions. In his Annual Mes sage of 1808, the Governor snys: An increase of paper circulation at fins lime, would, In my opinion, bo unwise policy. The legitimate ends of business do not seem to de mand such an increase. Indeed, lliu fact can not be disguised, that, to a considerable extent, the present upward tendency in the pi ices ol goods and property, Is the consequence of the abundance of money. Thit advance m nominal value is rapi'Uy ap/n-oachiup; nn un nalnml rlc tirt/iOTi, and should kxciti: JKU-orsv rather than CuNFlDkxck. The indicalion.H that we are on the ovc of a dangernVH inflation of prices, and an artificial expansion in comnieicinl and oilier business affairs are too clear, it seems to me. to be misunderstood. This tendency should not ho stimulated by an increase ol paper money, it is the part of wisdom to testrain rather than heighten this excitement. To the influence of the unparalleled amount furnished to the wot Id by the mines of California and Australia, du ring the last year, may undoubtedly ho attrib uted, in no inconsiderable degree, the pioduc tion of this stale of nominal value. The careless observer may regard this result as a real advance in the value of goods and properly, when in fact, it is only n cheapening of tiie stamloid by which these things are mens tired. Like all other commodities, money wilt depreciate ns soon m an excess of it be placed in the market. 'A common effort, it seems to mo, might bo wisely made throughout our vast couniiy, to prepare the channels ol circulation lor Ibis great Increase ot coin. Bank notes ol less denomina tion than five dollars, now occupying a larger space in these channels, should he forced to give way for the precious metals. Pennsylvan ia, I am confident, will most cheerfully perform her share of this great work, ami 1 hope to wit ness, at no remote period, a general movement of all the States on this subject —first, to remove from circulation all notes under live dollars, and next the five’s also. Tho dissemination of the precious metal to points remote from onr commercial emporium, should ho facilitated by every proper means.— Such distribution cannot bo fully.accomplished, so long ns the chonne’s of circulation are sup* plied with small paper Issues. Every merchant should endeavor to draw coin into th** interior of Hie country j not only because it is the best currency for the use of the people, but because qf (he greater protection it affords against the consequence of commercial revulsions . When those come, ami the banks at the senbord close, and country paper depredates. Ihu merchants can fall back on lift* coin for relief. But If we desire to have the precious metalsnmongun, we must make room for them. Coin and paper will I not cli eulate at the same time, in the same chan nels. Therals perhaps no principle in political 1 economy more completely settled, than that which demonstrates that two kinds of currency, differing in value, cannot circulate at Hie saint lime. The less valuable of the two will be c«*n stanfly on Hie surface and obtruding itself npor the use ol the public, whilst the more procioui article will retito to more quiet vaults. No other feature in the policy ofoiir count! y. I sincerely boHcvo, so deeply concerns all onr great interests ns ttds subject of the currency. In vain will tho manufacturer rely on Hie tarill laws for protection against foreigh competition, so long ns the nominal values are greatly inha led hy th) excessive issue ot paper money. All ids theorising about specific duties and home valuations will avail him nothing, if the upward tendency of prices outrun Hie rate of duty. The paralysing effect ol nu inflated currency upon all onr Sfnlc and national’lnterests, when closely pressed hy foreign competition, cannot ho con cealed. It virtually opens our ports lo invth such rivalry against all these pursuits, and rate of tariff that the irudom of Congress can dc rH(, u'llhin any ttasonnble limit , can counlerac Us influence.

Givingnoltce to the police of the city that, in case of their neglecting to afford ample pro tection to legal voters, without regard to party predilections,' nativity or religious sect, they will, on the complaint of any three respectable and responsible voters, be suspended from of fice, ond 1 ultimately removed from the service should the charges be sustained. 5. That judges of election be requested to re port all cases of porlizAn favoritism at the polls by the police, and also reminded that H is ihcir duly to report to the grand jury the names of all parlies attempting to vole illegally, as well os the names of those who may aid or abet in procuring illegal voters or in obstructing the polls. 6.

That notice be given that the law will be j enforced to its utmost extent against all who may bc nrrcSlcd on any charge calculated to afiect the purity of the bnllol-box or obstruct legal voters fn the exorcise of their rights, who thcr by intimidation or violence.” It is charg, d, and as far as the evidence goes; the charge is fully sus:nincd, that the police of Baltimore, with few exceptions only, have been selected from that class of the community which has glvoil such a frightful notoriety to the chy. and that since theft indi/ction into of fice they have rather aided than attempted to suppress the evils which have now risen to such a magnitude the attention of the whole country. It is a fact too monstrously glaring to admit of dispute, that the police and the whole municipal government of Baltimore arc influenced in their official action, in a very alarming degree, by the gangs of organized ruf fians who have, literally, that city under their complete control ; and yet it is to those faith less agents that the American how turns as the source from which protection, remedy and re lief arc to conic.

Ohr free institutions have been preserved, and our rights and privileges, civil and religions, enjoyed and maintained.— The arts and sciences, and the great interests of education, morality and religion, have claimed tho attention and received the encouragement of an intelligent and liberal people. Honorable industry in its various departments has been re warded ; and although recent and severe flnnn cial revulsion has (Hied with gloom, sorrow and distress, tho hearts and homes of-many of our citizens, yet no fear ot fiimine, no dread of im pending public or social calamity, mingles with our emotions of gratitude lor past blessings, or weakens our tru-t lor the fulnro in the provi dence of Him who wounds but to heal, and “whose mercy endurelh forever.” A plenteous I harvest has crowned the labor of the husband- I man—pence with its gentle and reforming influ ences,ond unwonted health with iisbenctilsaud mercies, have been vouchsafed to us. In acknowledgement ot these manifold bles sings, wo should offer unto Hod thanksgiving and pay our vows unto the most High, and call upon Him, “in the day ot trouble ; lie will de liver thee and thou shalt glorify Him.” Under the solemn conviction of the propriety of this duly, and in conformity with established custom and the wishes of ninny good citizens, I, James Pollock, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do hereby recommend Tlmts d.iy, the twenty-sixth day of November next, ns U day of (Jeneral Thanksgiving and Praise, throughout this State, and earnestly request the ' people that, abstaining from their usual avoca j (ions and ull worldly pursuits, they assemble on that day according to their religious customs, and unite in ottering thanks to Almighty (Jod for his past goodness and mercies; and while humbly acknowledging our transgression, and imploring His forgiveness, beseech Him. with sincere and earnest desire, (o return and visit us again with His loving kindness, make us worthv of His homilies, and continue to ns (he rich blessings of l.Hs Providence and price.— (Jiveti nndoi my hand and the (irent 1 Skal i Seal of the Shite, at lUrriplrntp.

In effect. however, Oregon is and will continue tobca frccS'olc.— These will increase the members of the confed eracy to thirty-three, without counting Kan sas, whose admission in sofcic shape now seems imminent. The Constitutional Convention of Kansas will meet again in a few days, resume and conclude its labors, and (he Constitution thus framed will either be submitted to a pop ular vote or sent lo Congress without such en dorsement.

Ur (hiding that coin will not. in our markets and shops, purchase more groceriis, dry goods, beef, or butter, than pa j per, though there is a diderencc in their values ! of nearly four per cent- in favor of specie, they take their gold to a broker, and sell U for pa per, with which last currency they make their .purchases. If every dealer were to say to his customers when they ask the price of articles that he will sell for so much in paper, and four per cent, less for coin, every one having small coin, would use the latter because of its greater purchasing power. The coin would, therefore, bo kept in continual circulation, and no trouble would ho experienced for the want of small change. As the custom now is* the only wonder that a single gold dollar is left in circulation at all, und it will soon not bo, unless a dilUrenl prac tice is pursued among dealers calculated to keep il hero by giving it Us proper value (£7* Col.
