Proclamation-of Gov. Rimer in rela
[ Lion to the resumption of Specii poiments
i.. by the Banks.—Our readers wi ll find this
-.highly important document in°other col-•
r tune. We look upon this as one of the
best and , wisest measures of the "Old Far
mer,"/‘ecause of the good effects which
it iicalculated to produce on !le moneta
ry iare
tests of the State and t he, nation at
large; and in drawing this cuntlusion we
assume, that - however difficult or inconve
nient it may be, the Proclamation ioill be
obeyed. We regard it as a good. and a
wise measure also, I , ecause no4e, has pro.
duced more soreness of feelingf and bitter
ness of invective among the rinks of the
opposition • than this; for- we know that
they always rail out loudest at whatever is
most praiseworthy and most
. advantageous
to the interests of the Commonwealth, like
those who in olden times held out that "no
good thing could come out of Nazareth."
All their cavils and.oljt ections pray be ea
tolLanswered, if they were all worth an.
swAing; which they are not, though some
may be noticed briefly.' They say that
this proclamation is a foolish and uuneces
nary thing, because the Banks had, before
it was issued, mutua'ly agreed to resume
specie payments on the Ist -of August
next. We, however, deny the truth' of
the alleged fart, from which : they draw
their Conclusion. "The Beaks" bad a.
greed to do no such thing, we pay ? 'The
,1 Philadelphia Banks held a meeting, and a
majority of them recommended a resump.
tiu en the Ist of August next. Four of
ib Banks voted against thisilrecommen
da ion. Without the concurrence of t hese
t ile
for Banks, all know that it would be im
possible to carry this measure- iato effect,
advantageously, mien if it could' be carrier;
, into effect at all; and in conseqyence of the
doubts entertained whether they would u!:
Innately unite in action with the rest of
the Banks, it was ctanfidently asserted
that tfierewould be "so nest: minion YET!"
,• This was the genetal voice or sentiment
. in the eitienr of Philadelphia and New York;.
and fur proof of this assertion; we refer to
the cotemporirneous daily papers therein

Thiid. The attention that they ply to

light in "kingly crowns." However, the
probability Is, that this short period was
given An joint deliberation, and to produce
unanimity erection. After al!, we - believe
that the Governor only awaited the action
of the- Federal Governnient to issue his
Proclamation, and that he then fixed up
..un the shortest- practicable period for re
sumption, without regard to any Bank
Conventions, but with a single eye to the
amount of specie in theji vaults, their ca
pacities and resources!' We repeat that
the proclamation wit juat the thing that
was wanted by the people--,-that it came
forth exactly when it ihtitild hive come
forth.---thet it is a measure of which all
well-wishers of their counts : , will approve,
and all the friends of Rimer maw well be
proud. And on the other hand We say
that the cavillings of the oppokitina are
but the howling, of wolves in sheep's
clothing--the screams of vultures fright
ened from the prey, or the ebullitions of
party rancor, at the triumphant, manly,
independent and honest course of Gover

FELLOW CEITLESE—
Nothing is more commendable, or

to, rejoice over, and bear hi grateful re•
menibrance, the heroic deeds of their an
vestry,—and there is nothing better calcu

fatheis have purchased and bestowed
Upon their children, than a faithful adher
ence to, and the support or,those riehts and
priiileges, which cost so much blood and
t reasurp, as did the freedinn,the liberties and
the privileges, which the people of these
United States at present enjoy.
' In order to a just, and right understand
ing of, and a knoieledge how, to appreci
ate blessings so inestimable, it is necessa
ry that a freemen should possess a thor
thigh acquaintance with the history of his
own country, the virtues or his ancestry;
their zeal, their courage, and their fearless
dieferminatir, to resist oppression, and to
