The first of these suits was brought in the
district Court or Philadelphia county, to recover
the sum of one hundred thousand dollars, and
the : other for eight hundred • thousand. Judg
ments were-given in favor of the plaintiff-below,
- for these principal sums with interest, amount
ing altogether to ?1,203,750,
' .. Ih eßauk. of.iheJJmted States was. chartered,
m 18387 Tn 1841 It'became known that it was |
wholly insolvent, and on the fourth day of May i
of that year, an act of Assembly^wsspaased re-J
quiring the directors to execute ogeneral assign
- menbof all its property and effects, for the ben
. ofit of ifs- creditors,, if r a mojority*iOf the Stock
holders should decide by a vote according to the
: scale allowed at,elcctio .s for Directors thatsnch

provided by tho set, thst when such an essign
- ment waa execntedi' the corporate jiojt.ers. and ,
-privileges of: the Dank , Bhould cease anu ueter- (
, _ 'mine, except for certain purposes, confined to
the closing np of ifs affairs. No such vote of
the Stockholders as that authorized by the act
was ever taken, and no general assignment was
, iver made' But three days before the passsge.
of the act, the Presidenthad executed an assign
ment of a certain portion "of its assets for the
payment of $3,078,444 D 4, which it owed to the
«. other Philadelphia Banks. One month and three
days after the , passage of tho: act, another as
-signttenfwas made to other trustees, for the
- payment of notes and deposits, and a third one
on the dthjof September, in the eamc. year, of
- rairnro'prbpcHx :fpr.-,, the Bank,-.exceptcertain
Blocks,.a list of which was appended in n sehe
' The last' assignment ‘was lu trust (after
certain preferredcluims were satisfied,) for . the
. .payment tof ■ all the-, debts of - the Bank. The
stockholders (or a majority of", them) afterwards
.• ratified these nssigomeats, by a vote of appro
val, not according ta thmscalo required in that
net, hut percapital . Toe stocks not included in
. the September - aseigament, were subsequently
all sold -on jadioiol- process,-except some that
- woro wholly worthless,: and some others which
.were pledgod, in Europe,"for debts beyond their
-value. From September, 1841, to the present
time, the Bank has ceased to make discounts, to
receive deposits, or to iasuo notes.-But the
stockholders have regularly elected Directors,
"and these directors, or the officers by them ap
‘planted, have made their monthly returns
ta ihe-Auditor General as punctually ns they did
before.--. -
The het incorporating the Bank reqnires that,
. in consideration, of tho privileges, thereby grant
ed; it shall, among other - things, -pay to the
. State Treasnrer two millions of dollars,"ln an-.
. nuat instalments of one hundred - thousand dol«
lara caob, oommeuoing on the Ist day of June,
1820. rtf these instalments,: the first five wero
-paid, but the Bank failed to pay that which felt
-due in 1841, and has not paid any since. One
of the actions now before us was brought to to
v _ cover the instalment of 1841, and the other for
those which became payable from 1842 to 1849,
inclusive; with interest; - - > " f:
Tbo,plamtifFs~ conns el gave in. evidence the
■■ act of incorporation; provod the acceptance of
the charter by the stockholders, and showed that
the organization of the Company had been kept
.‘up by exhibiting the monthly returns. Resting
. , hero;'they relied: on this ar proving their case;.
- - the otber.facts I-have mentioned were o/forrtf in
'evidence by the defendant, and being rejected by
the Court,rwe: find.thcm set forth in the bills of
exception. - ■
-It is.not denial that tho acceptance of the
: charter-with the stipulations contained in it,
rendered the bank liable to an action for the
-.money which the Common wealth is seeking.to
- -recover now.- But these judgments ought, nev
ertheless, to bo" reversed if the evidence which
was-ofteredund rejected can, in the most favor
able view whieh will possibly be taken qi* it, be
; considered an available defence.
Tf the ast of: 1311 had been followed by the
- Baak, and if tho.commonwealtb, with the con
, sent of -the stockholders, had resumed the cor
porate- privileges granted by the charter, a
- -grave question-might shave arisen; - which the
jeosoas itno wstnnds docs not present,- and on
which .wo have therefore nothing to say. Neither
do we give any opinion on tho validity of the
assignments, notunly because it is unnecessary
to do so now, but because it may come up.bere
- rafter, and perhaps between other parties, whom
: .we are bound.to hear.before we • decide it, ~ In
-: troth, we have hut a.single question to- settle,
■ - and that is-one of which the- difficulties are not
at allin proportion to the magnitude ©! the In
teres t which depend on it.
. The agreementoftheßanfc to pay tho money
- noW Bned for. was made,in consideration of .the
/ privlcges granted by the act of incorporation;—
. The consideration was a jast one. TbeCom
- monweafth had perforined what she- was to do
hoforo the.promiso of the Bank was-mode, and
. , if the Legislature had repealed the act of incor
poration the ncxt day, tho commonwoalth might
- have elafmpcr to be etiil within the literal terms
of, the contract. --. Of coarse I am not saying that
thi&woahl -have been cither Just or becoming.
■ "Bat 'certainly the Bankhasno show of defence,
, either in law or eijujty. unless': tbe Comm'on
: - wealth,-by something whichshe did, has forfeited
theriglits which it is admitted wero oace veated
in her. No corporation, . any more thoua nat
• ural person,-can discharge itself of an obliga
tion once, assumed by an act of its own, in’
which the party holding the. opposite interest
. has nalmnd. The State has made no agreement
by which this debt has been released. Neither
has she committed an -act.of injurious hostility
.< agarasttho Bank, on which a decent claim to
-. compassioirqan. be founded. .On the contrary,
- Ibeyvhole conduct of the ‘government-has been
. msrked--by liberality -and indulgence, The
. charter confers , privileges^-with a prodigality
neverlieard of before; Its insolvency, in less
■.than_dUo. years,- could hardly -have .occurred
without criminal improvidence, and must have
broughtruin on many citizens; yet no measures
were taken either 'to proteettho people, or to
..punish tho 'offending corporation. For-twelve
, years itsichartcr lay-at the mercy of the publio
■ authorities; but the forfeiturewas never exacted.
Immovable in her slow.to anger,
the State suffered everything, and resented,
-nothing. ‘She seemed-too, fond of her bargain

NATIONAL' DEHOCEATXC COHVENTIOH;
Baltimore, Md., Tuesday, June 1, 18r,3
Gen. Scott and the Presli
Wc are almost ashamed to.refer again to the
chances of this brave -old soldier, for the Presi
dency, inastnneh-fia we have spoken of them on
several previousocoasions. Bnttho organs that
have declared themselvesfor him, will not menu
tion his name, and in order to beep him before
the people, wedeemit necessary to speak of him
occasionally. Wewmld like to see him nomi-
nated, .for,we are certain that he, ,in the race for
the Presidency,, would- be ns successful as the
horsoof O'Botherem-wns, —he conlddrlrenll his
competitors before him. - This is a fsotjthat ev
ery honest American wilt ackhowledge. Ail
who over came in competition with Qen. Scott,
hod to go before him; and if he should bo nom
inated for the Presidency, we will venture a
wager that ha wtll drive his competitor so far
ahead that the General will not be able to see
him. until ho is introduced to him on the subse
quent 4th ofHarcb, as the Commander of the
Army and Navy.
This is a fact very well known to oar whig
colleagues; rmd nlthh' 1 they may pretend to keep
the word of promise toGeh. "iScbtt’s lips, they
will break it to his hopes. - All,"hud each Of them
have declared that they are in favor of his nom
ination hy the whig. Convention;—that they be
lieve him to bo the .most available candidate
-they can have ; bnt not one of them dare to
raise his name to their mas t head, and say, “this
is our candidate until the whig Convention in
structs os to.support another man.” Many
wonder why they do not do so. They have all
said (hat Soott was their choice, and expressed
the-novel idea that ho could bo nominated and
elected President. Bat since they made their <
first declaration in.Tavor of “fuss and feathers,"
neither the Journal,: Gazette or American, have
attempted to show by what means they eould
make their romantic notion in relation to Gen;
Scott, a historical fact. That is: to convince
the people, against- their own good common
sense, the propriety of electing a man President
who knows nothing -about the duties of the
office, and who would go off in a tangent when
ever he might be disturbed while lapping soup,
as he.lins-,done-before, at n, period roost trying
for the country.
- . The political shrewdness of our Whig cotem
pornries, admonished them a long time ago, that
their party would have no chance in the next
Presidential contest. They are old enough and
canning enough, to know that all Whig admiuls
trntions are mere “ Aeoidcnoios," and that they
qomc into power under a “dispensaiionof Provi
dence”:—as Parson Browclow would, no donbt
assert, should Scott be nominated—merely to
show the necessity of keeping them out of
power, and to prove to the people the danger of
placing power in their hands, inasmuch as they
always use It against the people, and never for
them.
Notwithstanding tlicir ardent professions for
Sooit, we hare not the slightest Idea that either
of them trill ever raise his name, and in a short
timo, they will alt wake tip of a Coo morning,
and discorer that be won’t suit their purposes,
and that there is no use in making any more
fuss about him, ns they bare no ehanco to ftalher
their nests by doing so;. and in a short time they
will be all following Fillmore, the man who has
the pap to give; and the only struggle that will
bo between them, at that interesting period, will
be to find out which of them was the first to drop
Scott and pick up Fillmore. Wo will see, and
note It in a proper manner.

We can assure tbo publio that thero is no burnt

speaks with the authority of:one who knows,
that-“ there-are three muscles to draw the
mouth up, and only one to draw it down; which
signifies that We are to laugh throe times as
much as we cry. Laughing promotes digestion,
by jarring the internal organs! Every organ in
the human Bystem requires exercise to maintain
it in health. Henco Laughing was intended to
regulate the internal organs.' Many peoplo re
sort to medicine to restore that whioh might be
remedied by a bearty nauaii. Langhing equal

their slceres, and somo behind -the door; these
are smothered Laughs, and- arc highly, injurious
to the. system. There are many other Laughs,
sachos the Giggle, the Snicker, tho Twist of
the Month, &C.Y &C., nil of which - are spurious

which counteracts the Blues, Horrors, and many
other complaints, will be administered by the
Dootor on Monday evening next, at Masonio
Hall.
- Pars oußrownlowsay s the whigs with
Gon. Scott as their candidate, wllt'bo'beaten
5000 votes in,Tennessee, and that “ Scott has
personal-vanity, enough to damn seven succes
sive administrations, and with it very poor civil
qualifications, and by no means a high order of
talents*: ,He has been an inoubus on the Whig
party for years, and: defeated Mr. Clay’s nomi
nation in 1840 and in 1848.”
What will our enthusiastic Scott ootempora
nessay to, the,prediction of the Parson 7 There
la truth in what he says, bat we fear that they
will not approve of havlng it set down in such a
public manner.

“Tainan humble member of the party, and will

high prices, . l o: discount?-
and Briers are compelled to iKui instead of

This scarcity of -money- is, no doubt, owing, to
the long suspension, of active business, caused
by tho Bevere winter through whioh wo have just
passed..- .With the opening of spring, wo may
expect« change for, the better, —it could not be

.We, were: assured by intelligent Bankers, tlmt
money matters are cosier in tlie east, and that m
a short time, we will be relieved from the
“ pressure.”
The authority on which we most rely, for a
reliable statement of monetary affairs in tho
east, is the New York Past. In its last number,
we find the-following statement of the sales at
the Stock Exchange :

and prices buoyant. In federal stocks, the re

had the privilege to select their own medium for
the payment.

this that the Ingot is at any more discount thera
than American gold, for such wonld bo a false
conclusion from oar statement The precious

any other pnrt of the world, and $46 each for

tho same nrtiolo; and more la offered at that

Few or no lots of dust, however, havo been sold
at $17,021 for this steamer, which price was
paid a fortnight since.
Tho cause of dust being moro freely offered In
the market, is.because the,speculators who for
merly patronized tho Assay OQico so extensively,
cannot,now do so well by having their dust
coined, os by Belling It at $17,76 per ounce
Thiß fact will, in a great measure, prevent our
market from being flooded with California issues
of coin, for the plain reason that no man can
make money by purchasing dost ntprcsontpriecs,
and having the same coined. On the avorago,
tho same valae is returned in. a difforont shape.

the right mothod of working tho quartz will be
