our great hopes have been attitinedi or have been

revealed to us, we have the first opportunity to

truth lights upon us; it is then that we ask of
ourselves, wbethet it be wide to endure such
anxiety of ihind, such agitation of spirit, such
hamowing of the soul, to gain what may cease to

few year. of enjoyment can alone be afforded ;
it is then that we waken to the hollowness of all
human things; it is then that the sayings of

of the Bank of thirUnited States is shown
to be such; that it can regime kitony mo
ment; but this'inititution akeis common'
cause with the other•banks, and the Abe
-1 racter and prosperity of the' country-are
identified with the banking system. ,
,
'The writer first inquired into the causes
of the suspenidoei an d ahem) them tole
the Specie Oircelar, which forbade the
receipt' of-any thing but geld and silver at
the land offices; the mismanagetient of the
deposites, which scattered th In tti , lhe
frontiers; the clamor nutted by ',the execu
tive against bank notes, which alarmed
the people for their safety an caused a
run upon the banks for specie°, .and that
none of these causes have ceased, but, in
fact, have sicquired"teb , fold force. - -
Secondly, He shows that thecredit sys
tem of the United States and ill exclusive
metallic.systom,*re now WO in the field
face to face with each other,,and that one
or the other must fall. • If ibe banks re
sume, he say and are able by'sacrificing
the community to continue a few months,
it will be conclusively employed at the
next elections, to show that the schemes
of the executive are not as destructive as
they will prove. hereafter. But if they
resume,- and again' are compehed to sus
pend, the executive will rejoice at this
new triumph, and they will fall in the
midst of a universal outcry against their
witakimes.' If they rcsurne; (one of two
things will happen, their noted will not be
received -by the government,or they will
be received. Tithe) , are not received, the
government, to the. extent of the revenue,
will force the heiders of the items to draw
,specie from the hanks to be deposited with
the co lectors of the revenues for the dif
'formica between-the revenue; and - the ex
pease', the -government will udfue treasury
notes to be sad, for bank notes, and con
verted' into specie, and as the disburse
ments are made at points on the frontiers,
remote from the places of hehection,vit
will not reiurpeti to the banks issuing it
except 64+,4110u:4y. But if the notes are
received, they will not as forrnerly be de
posited in thefldinks and &two out again
tWitrile entei'into the circulerfon, leaving
I the public creditor his choice pf specie or
notes, but-they will be left in i speciet de
pcsdte With- the receivers. When warrant's
are drawn on, them receivers, they will
call ce i theberdte ffiVspe. i te l pay the fa
vored -publ ic creditor, selecting, of course,
the bank on which they willidraw, actor-. 1

I executive. ,
Thirdly, The writer strciw i a that the
disorders of the currency li too deep for
superficial remedies, and Ott Congress

FOrthly, The situation of the banks at
the hist resumption and now,' is compared.
• , iAlter it huirpension foe! nearly -three
years, Congress applied id* its power to
induce, to persuade. and to tiain the Banks
in their efforts to resume. They passed

But this shine was insufficiebt; and at. the
