LETTER FHOM THE EDITOR, DATRD
Philadelphia, Oct. 5, 1857.
It is not more than a month since, when
the money panic commenced in New York,
at which time oar Philadelphia co temporaries
were exulting that their merchants and their
Bunks were firm, and could not be shaken
How differently tbe result bas proved, tbo
events of the past week bas fully shown.
Philadelphia was the first to suspend in
1837 and 18 again the Brit to suspend in 1857.
But tbe preseut is not a parallel case with
the former suspension. Then gold coin was
not in circulation among the people us s cur
rency, now it forms a great portion of the
daily circulation. Then our resources wero
limited, and our indebtedness great, Such is
not now the case, and hod those who con
trolled tbe Banks and tbe finances, in Phila
dulpbia, managed matters with more judg,
tnent and unauimity, there would have beeu
no suspension in tbo city, and consequently
none in the country. What the Legislature
will do it is bard to conjecture. I have
beard various romeilies suggested, one of
which was to compel the Banks to resume in
30 days on their notes, and give them one
year on their deposits. Bnt this would only
give the Philadelphia Banks privileges over
tbo country Bunks, whose liabilities are
mostly in circulation.
Ibe State Agricultural Exhibition was
not what it should have been, and what its
friends expected. Tbe display was meagre
as compared with some previous exhibitions,
Tbe time for State Fairs, in my opinion,
bas passed, and more attention will, here
after, be paid to County Exhibitions. We
do not know that tbe furmers or others will
lose by this change.
To-day (Monday.) was a great day in Phil
eJelpbiu. Tbo fi.-emens' parade absorbed
everything. It was certainly a grand display,
but in my opinion a foolish one, especially at
this time, when consternation and expected
rnin is staring every one in tbe face.
srjr Oin Candidate ron Siikrikk. There
appears to' be great dinatifaction among the
Democratic party relative to tbe nomination
of Henry J.' Reader for Sheriff. In fact
some of the leading Democrats In the connty
are using every exertion to defeat him. Some
oppose him on tho ground that be was not
fuirly nominated, others that he is not com
petent. While great number accuso bim
of being avaricious and are fearful that in
these bard times be will make too bard
Sheriff on the poor what the result will te
time will determine.

Metropolitan Hotki, )
Xexc York; October 6, 1K57.
Business in this great city like that of
Philadelphia has been almost prostrated.
There is but little doing among tbo merchants
and traders, the Hotels perhaps are doing
belter than any other class. Confidence bus
been so completely shattered thut country
merchants care but little about buying, and
tbe city merchants less about selling. Sat
urday last was said to be tbe most trying day
for New York, and tbey think they are now
over the worst. In Philadelphia it was the
opinion as well ub the desire, that tbe New
York Bunks would suspend specie payments,
as that would compel tbo Boston Bunks, and
most probably all the Bauks in the Union to
suspend, thus placing all on an equality. But
this hope is fallacious. Tbe Banks in this
city cannot suspend without going iuto liqui
dai ion. No act of tbe Legislature can re
lieve tbem. Besides New York is the great
centre of commerce as well ss of finance, snd
it is her policy to sustain her credit, and
attract both. Should tbe Philadelphia Bauks
cootiuue in a state of suspension the result
will be most disastrous to her trade and com
merce. With ber money at a discount, vary,
ing from five to ten per ceut., produce will
naturally seek olher markets, where the cur
rency is not depreciated.
But this revulsion will not be without its
good effects. It will teach those who will
only learn in the school of bitter experience
that extravagance and recklessness muvt even
tually end in ruin and disaster. It will teach
the followers of Robert J. Walker, that
nations, like individuals, cannot long Sourish
when their outgoes are lurger than their
incomes, or when out imports are larger than
our exports. A proper tariff on rail road
iron alone, would have saved one hundred
millions lhat have been sent abroad for iron
that could have beon made at home.
fJTluc Llkction tukes place on next
Tuesday, but there is very little excitement
concerning it. In fact the opposite party
admit lhat Geo. Packer, our candidate fur
Governor, aud tbe whole State ticket will be
elected by a large majority. Our Slat
ticket is certaiu of success, aod the men
composing it are worthy of our support. For
our part we have never seen a more quiet
election campaign, but suppose tbe severe
panic in money matters tends to lead our
thoughts in different direction.

been unremitting in their endeavors to raise

tbey have over $150,000 worth of Rails in

Don't Hoard the Coin ! There is an
abundance of gold and silver coin in the conn
try for all the ordinary transactions of daily
life, if it is only kept in circulation. A mull
specie currency is the life-blood of bosinesa,
and if il be wanting to any considerable
extent, business will languish, stagnate or
decay in proportion as its life-blood is want'
ing.
Tbe propensity to hoard gold and silver
money is one of the lowest and meanest vices
of the human mind. It is the very essence
of selnsnness. I bis propensity is naturally
heightened in limes of punic like the present,
and oiicn seizes upon good men who in ordi
nary seasons would be entirely frc6 from it.
Let all wbo have a spark of kindly and libers)
feeling "resitl the temptation and it will fie
irom mem.
There is atill sufficient gold and ailver in
the country to keep tbe wheels of business in
motion, and thereby enable honest industry
by daily lubor to earn its daily bread.
Whatever of want and Buffering may prevail
ibis winter among those who would labor but
can find no employment, will be largely
owing to ine boarding of coin, those who
cause this want to full upon the poor, will
roceive their pay in due season, if it be true
tbat "with the measure ye mete withal, tbe
same shall be measured to you again.

ro Assembly met:
Genti.kmkn i By virtue of the power con
furred upon me by the Constitution, 1 have
deemed it my imperative duty to convene
tba General Assembly nt this time. An
extraordinary occasion for so doing, as con
templated by tho Constitution, bas arisen,
and accordingly you have been called together
to take into consideration and auopi sucu
measure of relief, as the present exigencies
may seem, in your wisdom, to demand.
A sodden aud severe finaucial revulsion
has occurred, inducing a suspension of specie
payments by the Bunks of Ibis Common-
weulth and in some of our sister States. This
was unavoidable, having become, from tbe
operation of causes unnecessary now to be
enumerated, a stem necessity. Thuscircnm
stanced, the communily are suffering from
the want of a currencv, tbe destruction of
confidence, and the numerous svils consequent
on financial embarrassment. Every depart
men t of industry has felt and been -disastrously
affected by tho abock ; trado and commerce
have been paralyzed : the merchact, the
manufacturer, tbe mrcbauic, have seen tbeil
bright prof pects suddenly blasted, and many
have been involved in a ruin which no ordi
nary sagacity or foresight could overt
si "iny oi our turnuces, rolling mills anu
factories bnve been closed, extensive and
valuable coal operations have been suspended
or abundoned, and thousands of workmen
are out of employment oppressed with doubt
and anxiety, and alarmed with gloomy appro
hent ions of the future. It is not my iutenlion
to discuss in this communication tbo cause of
the present financial difficulties and comtner
ciul omburrarsmeut. 1 he evil is upon us,
troubles surround us ; and to relieve the
community, restore confidence, and bring
back tbe prosperity lately enjoyed, and which,
it is faop'cd, is but temporarily interrupted,
prompt, utid harmonious action, wise and gen
erous legislation will be required, 1 be pre
sent exigency requires, and every considcra
tion of nrerUMit ond fularo interest te the
Commonwealth and the people would seem to
demand, that the bunks should be released
from the penalties and forfeitures incurred,
and a suspension should .be authorized for
such reasonable period as will enable them
safely to resume the payment of their liabili
ties in Kpecie.
To force the brinks into a loo early linnida-
lloji would compel them to require immediate
payment from their debtors, end would entail
upon the community the miseries of wide
spread bankruptcy and ruin; while, on the
olher hand, su unreasonable extension of the
unnatural state of suspension, would greatly
iuoreueo tho evils of an irredeemable paper
currency. Tbe resumptiou of specie pay
ments should not be postponed longer thau il
t'lenrly necessary aud the bet inti-retli of the
community may roquire.
Tbe general ombarrussment ond depression
of trade aud commerce, and the consenuetit
depreciation of the value of real and personal
proporty. if permitted to continue, will serj
ou!y tiled the revenue of the Commonwealth,
tbo credit of the State, now so well sustained
and so honorable to her character, may le
endangered, nol by nny inability to pay, but
from the difficulty if not the impossibility of
procuring a tuctiiuin iu which puyuiectcuu be
made.
The faith of the State must be preserved
intact. 1 therefore recommend that the
Banks which may be relieved from the penal-
ties upon such suspension bv existing laws.
shall be required to make a satisfactory ar
rangement wait the State Treasurer, by which
it wm oe enabled to convert tbe current Tund
in the Treosury aud balances standing to his
credit in any of the solvent Banks of the Com
monwealth into specie, as soon as tie tume
shall become necessary for the payment tf
the interest on the funded debt.
And as a further relief to the community,
and as a condition of tbe release of the penal
ties and forfeitures incurred, il is respectfully
recommended tbat the solvent Bunks of tho
Commonweulth, which paid specie for all
their liabilities, immediately prior to their
lute general suspension, shall be required
(under such limitations and restrictions as
may be deemed expedient) to receive the
notes of each other, continuing solvent, at
par, in payment of all debts due, or to become
due to tbem respectively during their suspen
sion; the bau.k or -banks resuming specie pay
ments to be relieved from this condition.
For the relief of the debtors provision
should be made for an extension of the time
in which executions on judgments may issue
and the period now provided by law, for tbe
star of executions.
The issue of relief or bauk notes of t less
denomination than five dollars should not now
be authorized, nor should tbe Bauks, during
their suspension be permitted to declare div
idends exceeding six per cent, per annum.
The moneyed institutions of tbe Common
wealth, it is believed, ure generally in t sound
aad solvent condition, and if the measures
suggested be adopted, the batiks will be ena
bled to meet all their liabilities, supply t cur
tei cy adequate to the demands of legitimate
trade and Ibe ordinary busiuess of life, regain
public confidence, aid and revive every branch
ofiudustry, and save their creditors snd tbo
community from tbe bankruptcy and ruin,
inevitably consequent on tbe intense pressure
of the present fiuuncial crisis.
The questions submitted for yoor determi
nation are important end numerous. Tbey
rise fur above all partiaan or politicul consid
erations or calculations. A suffering commu
nity, in tbe hour of tbeir anxiety and peril,
expect at your banda prompt and patriotic
action for their relief.
Influenced by no other consideration than
the public good, prompted by no other than
bon.-st and honorable convictions of a public
and private duty, may be tbe result of your
deliberations meet the expectations, relieve
the wants, and harmonize with tbe true inter
ests of the people.

Mk. Kditor : On Tuesday evening last,
tbe 'J'Jth olt., the hotel known as "Hause's
Tavern," (ttow kept by .Mr, Thomas Barr.)
was destroyed by fire. Tbe building was
entiiely consumed, as well as most or tho
furniture and contents of the bouse. Tbat
the building or furniture was insured we are
uot aware.
Our merchants are receiving and opening
out a new supply of goods, which are quite
respectable, notwithstanding the stringency
ia the money market. 1 he prussure oi tne
present crisis, however, is very sensibly felt
throughout this, as well as olher neighbor
hoods. We hope that tho present stale T
unairs will leach as that economy is mo o,'st
policy, and to live within our means, and not
to engage in business beyond our capital.
Were we a more frugal people we would be
still more iirosMrrons.
Politics ia a secondary matter here thu
financial panic being the all-absorbing topic
But an occaaionul thought is bestowed uputi
our country s welfure, and it is generally sup
posed thai at least soma of the Democratic

Can Henry J. Itruiltr's de
mocracy be genuine, or is it what might be
termed office Tever democracy T For certainly
one who has opposed the ticket so repeatedly
cannot be ix coiibisteut democrat. Wm. Ful
mer was nutuiiiuteil some year's tgo for As
sembly yit, 1 am told Mr. Header opposed
him and when my old friend J amen Covert,
l'.sq., received tho nomination Tor tlierill lie
opposed him, and thuo I might enumerate !
others who were nominated by our party but
opposed by M r. Header. But now he asks
us to elect him Sheriff and culls on every de
mocrat to support him, but he cannot recivu
my voto, for 1 do not consider bim u good de
mocrat, and 1 do not think he was fuiily nom
inated, certainly thcro wero other candidates
who had greater claims for our support, but
by coLsiderubtc twisting and managing among
some of your Sunbury men, Header wut, nom
inated, or at least they "cnunted up" tho
greatest nambtr of votes for him.

Mr. Luitiir :
1 observe in the papers the names of a
nnmber of persons as candidates for tha
oOice of Prothonotary. I have nothing to
sr.y aguiuit either, aud some of them, 1 have
no doubt, would iu time make good oiaccrs.
My purpose is to recommend James Heard,
the present incumbent, whom wo all know
bus given universal satisfaction during the
past six years he has been in office. Mr.
Beard ha all tbo necessary experience,
speuks Knglihli and German, and is always
obliging and attentive, and will, therefore,
receive the support of many, without distinc
tion of party AUGUSTA.

For various reasons I have deemed it
proper to decline being a candidate for Couuty

entirely between Major lleim and JeFte M.
Simpson To those who know Major Iloiin,
we need not say that from his well kaown
character and business hubils, there can be
no doubt as to his making an excellent
Treasurer, and that there will bo no difficulty
in the settlement of his accounts at the end
