The Bank Suspension.
No careful abserver of the signs of the times
has been taken by surprise as tha necessary
suspension of specie payments by Ihe tanks
That such a. necessity weal-d be produced very
scan was clear from the moment lhzfi. it became
certain that the warnings of Washingtan were
to be unheeded, and a. sectional candidaie for
the Presidency elecied. It. may be but a fox-e—
-taste of greaier evils, rcsuhing {mm the same
reckless folly, ye! to come upon the country in
rapid succession. The banks are blnmciess.
No candid person blames them. Their course
in this matter but enables them to do much
good by indulgence and accommodation. They
should be treated with forbearance. Nothing
but evil would come of attempting to enforce
legal responsibilities upon them. States are,
and have been, nxxllifying the laws. I-‘anaiicism
has done its worst in the North, despite the
clearest foreshadowings of disastrous conse
quences, and it. only remains for all good citi
zens to aid in mitiaoatin evils which cannot
now be averted. Revolutionary times are full
of perils and suffering, which are best encoun—
tered with reason and moderation. If possible,
let these rule, hereafter, as the best. method of
repairing the dire effects of despising their
munitions in the past.
The Philadelphia Ledger justly remarks of
the closing of the banksz—“No previous sus
pension of specie payments over carried with
it so much of public sympathy or provoked so
little of censure. This results probably from
money market was not the result of reckless
two causes: First, that the pressure in the
banking, but of political causes, of which the
banks had no control. Second, that from the
first. indication of financial trouble, the Phila
delphia banks have been vigorously at. work
narrowing their business, and by all means
possible, laboring to maintain specie payments.
These efforts have given them the sympathy of 3
the friends of a. somul mummy, one equal 10 !
spade on demand. ;
“By stopping with a. pretty full supply of
specie the banks will not. be required to re
duce so low as they would have had to do had
they paid out more, and there isreason to hope,
if some peaceabie disposition can be- made of
existing political differences, giving confidence
in the future, a. resumption may take place at
an early day without inconvenience oz- hazard.
It is “ndfls‘wd that the banks will continue
to redeem their small notes in coin, and gene
rally to pay out specie in such amounts as will
supply the necessities of change, and thus
prevent a wide difl‘erence between currency and
coin.'
A Most Valiant Doghen'y.
A fellow named JAMES S. Bmsnm, who pub
lish'ee the Centre Democrat, and who appears
to be emnlous of the distinction which Dog
hér‘ry coveted—of being written down an use—
has addressed I letterto Gov. Luann, of Vir
ginia, filled with fury and bombast against the
South; which the Governor condescends to em
swer, instead of throwing the delectable epistle
into the fire, as it deserved. The job which
Dogberry desired others to do for him, JAMES
5. 131113315 has done for himself. If he does
not pass for an as: during the remainder of his
natural life, it is not because he has not done
his best to merit that distinction. He is none
of yodr drowsy, browsing asses, that one would
not feel like stepping aside to kiCk, but a real
lively animal, displaying his heels and coun
terfeiting a v'alor foreign to the nature "of the
most stubborn and stupid of created things.—
This .sagacious ass informs Gov. LErcmm that
“ twenty-eight millions of freemen in the North
"are ready to meet disunion now, am! drug]: it
" as the strong man crushes an egg-shell in his
“ hund.” Tina pct—valiant jellow dld not. Slup
to calculate that. the whole population of the
Norlhaincluding men, women, children, no
groes and BRlSBlNs—does not amount to any
thing like twenty- eight millions; but this fact
might have Spoiled lhe‘ effect of this impudent
bit 0f swagger, Twenty-eight millions sounds
very formidable when hurled against. the South
by BRISBIN, and it would be a pity to deprive
him of the command of this magnificent army
of freemen even for a brief period. But. the
grand army of Bmsmx diminishes slightly
before he reaches the conclusion of his letter,
which winds up with informing Gov. annzn
that, he (Bmsmx) has been temlered the com
mand of two hundred Virginians, in the event.
of secession, and “mi he awaits the orders of
the Governor.
Gov. LETann replies with singular mode
ration. The wonder is that he condosccnded
to reply at all to Captain Bombastcs. He rc
minds him that. in the hour of danger to the
Union it is the duty of all patriots, in all soc
tious of the country, to cultivate a. kind, gen
erous, and conciliatory spirit one towards
another; and informs the microns Bmsmx
that. the Virginians have commanders enough
at. home without importing one from Pennsyl
vania, and that. he has been cruelly hoaxcd by
some wag, who desired to play of a good joke
at. his expense.
So the country may never have the satisfacv
tion of seoing JAMES S. Bnisnm marching at
the head of either twenty—eight millions of
Northern freemen, or two hundred Virginians,
to crush secession in the South as u strongman
crushes an egg-shell. Pity for Bmsmx and a
great disappointment to the country. But. let
him console himself with the reflection that if
he is not destined to figure iii history as a great
general 0%:1 brave captain, he has at least dis
tinguished himself as the most; illustrious ass
that the State of Pennsylvania has produced
within the present. generation.
The North Must Recede.
There is no longer any reasonable doubt that.
South Carolina will attempt, to secede from the
Union. Her people are so nearly unanimous
in favor of' separation that the voice of the
Union men is not. even heard. The current.
has swept everything before. it; and the people
of that. State appear to have settled down into
the conviction that there is no security for
them within the Union. In Georgia, Alabama.
and Mississippi there is more of a. Union feel
ing to check precipitate action on the part. of
the secessionists; but. from present. indications
it is highly probable that the moment South
Carolina. makes a. move to go out. of the Union
she will be supported and joined by these
States. And even if they should-determine
not. to commit. any overt- nct against the General
Government, it. is certain that. they would pro
tect South Carolina. from any attempt on the
part. of the Government- to coerce her into sub
mission.

' Such being the state of nilhirs at the South
. the question arises, how is the danger to be
averted, and the country saved from the hor
rors of civil war ‘-.’ There are but two ways of
alloying the present. excitement. Either the
asNorth must give the South some satisfactory
anranee, of a. real, tun gihlc nature, and not mere
wordy promises, that. no injury shall be in
flicted upon their rights and institutions, or the
: conservative Southern States must exert, a. re
straining intluonee upon States contemplating
secession. If the Northern States which have
taken the lead in nullifioation, by the passage
of laws to prevent. the re-enpture of fugitive
slaves, would remove these foul stains from
their statute books, and acknowledge their
obligations to execute the plain provisions of
the Constitution, and if Mr. LISGDLR would
avow his intention to administer the Govern
ment. with a. View to the rights and interests of
all parts of the country, cutting himself on
tirely loose from the “irrepressible conflict."
politicians, and selecting his advisers from
among the conservatives of his own and the
remnant of the Whig party, the excitement at
the South would soon abate, and the Union
men be strengthened to master the secession
ists ; for the advocates of disunion per se form
but a small proportion of theSonthern people.
Such acts as these on the part. of the Northern
majority, would remove all just cause of corn
pluint on the part. of the South. and restore
quiet. But as long as the South has good
reason to complain of' the aggressions and infi
delity of the North, we cannot expect that. they
will submit. It, is idle to talk of compelling
them to remain in the Union by force. The
first. blow struck by the General Government
at a sovereign State will tend to increase the
magnitude and extent of the rebellion—and
who can contemplate a. civil war between the
North and South with any other feeling than
that of horror? Such a conflict might not. end
until the resources of both sections are ex- 1
haustcd ; and then, after vast expenditures of 1
blood and treasure, end just where it. began. ]
Let the Northern States at once retrace their
steps, by repealing all unconstitutional, nulli
fying and hostile laws, and by this act of sim
ple justice preserve the Union. Men sometimes
talk of their readiness to make great sacrifices
for the Union, and if necessary to shed their
blood in defence of the Union; vitich is all very
noble and patriotic. But they can save the
Union at a. much cheaper rate than this. It
requires no sacrifice, no shedding of blood, no
prodigies of valor, no great heroism on the
part of Northern men, to place this Union upon
a secure basis; it only requires the courage to
do right—to perform an act of simple justice
to the Southern States, by removing at once
these disgraceful, nullifying statutes, called
Personal Liberty Bills.
We have spoken of the restraining power of
the conservative Southern States as a means of
preventing secession, The interests of a. ma
jority of the Southern States are in the Union,
and their inclinations also._and they must
necessarily exert all their influence upon the
extreme States to prevent. them from going out
of the Union, and thus leaving the loyal State.
to cope alone with the power of Northern see
tionalism, inflamed and infuriated by the
consequences of its own recklessness. Vir
ginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland and
North Carolina are in a. position to act as m.,-
diators between the extreme North and the ex
treme South, and no doubt if a convention of
the Southern States could be convened their
influence would be used to bring about some
honorable accommodation of the difficulties,
But, in order to enable these States to not
effectively, the North must show a, disposition
to recede lrom its extreme position. and to
comply faithfully with all the requirements of
the Constitution. If this conciliatory spirit is
not. manifested by the North, not only will the
moderate Southern States he powerless to re
strain the secessionists, but there is reason to
fear that their sympathies for the cause of the
South would finally compel them to make com
mon cause with the seerssiouists, and, in case
of attempted coercion, to range themselves
alongside of South Carolina. In this crisis of
our history it should be at least the policy of
the North to strengthen the position of the
loyal Southern States, by just concessions.
rather than to alienate them still further, and
finally drive them into sympathy with the ex—
tremists, by inflaming sectional hostility and
pcrsisring in nullificatiou. Let the North save
the Union by acknowledging her obligations to
comply with all the requirements of the Con
stitutiou.

THE COMPLAINTS 0F 7'll]? SOUTH.
The people of the South complain that Pennsyl
vania has joined the New England States in their
efforts to defeat the Fugitive Slave Law, and by
doing so, has violated on her part the compact or
contract made between the States at; the adoption
of the Constitution. Now let us see if this charge
is not in a great measure true. The Constitution
of the United States provides that “no person held
to labor or service in one State, under the laws
thereof, escaping into another, shall in cflnscfgmfneo
of any law or regulation therein be discharged from
such service or labor, but shall be delivered up on
claim of the party to whom such service or labor
may be due.” This Constitution went into opera
tion in 1789. Afterwards, and during the Admin
istration of General Washington in 1793, Congress
passed a. low in relation to fugitives from service,
by the 3d section of which it was provided that
when a person held to labor in any of the United
Slates should escape into any other of the said
States, the person to whom their service is due may
arrest the fugitive and take him or her before any
Judge of the Circuit or District: Court ofthe United
States, “or before any 7210912;th of a county, oily
or lawn corporate wherein such seizure or arrest
shall be made,” and upon proof, £20., the fugitive
should be returned. The 4th section of the act of
Congress makes it a criminal ofl‘euce to obstruct the
claimant in arresting a fugitive from labor, or for
concealing such person. I
It will be seen that the above law of Congress
gave “any magistrate of a. county, city or town
corporate”jurisdiction of such cases; but an act
of Assembly was passed by the Legislature of Penn
sylvania, in the year 1847, prohibiting, under a se
vere penalty, any judge, alderman orjustice of the
peace of this Commonwealth, from takingjurisdic
tion or cognizance of any case of fugitives from
labor “under a certain act- of Congress, passed the
12th of _February, 1792."
Tnis net. of 1847 also made it an ofl'ence, punish
able by fine and imprisonment, to seize upon afu
gitive violently or tumultunnsly, even with the
intention to take him before a. district or circuit
judge.
These provisiuns of the act of 1817 have been
included in the new Penal Code, enacted by our
last Legislature, and are in force. Now the cam
plaint of the South is, that by taking away the ju~
risdictinn of our State judges and magistrates over
these cases of fugitives, the cinimnni, instead of
finding :1. magistrate in every county in the State
who could bear and decide the ('liSL‘, is driven to the
necessity of taking the fugitive, at great risk,often
over one hundred miles, to find a Cumming-inner or
Judge of the United States Court; and further, that
the claimant, instead of being protected, as he was
under the net of Congress, from obstruction, &c.,be
is new in danger of being imprisoned for doing that
violently which he can hardly do otherwise.
Every man can judge for himself whether these
complaints against our legislation are groundless
or not. A.

In the “days when we were young” suspensions
were considered failures. ,_ In the days of Jackson,
when South Carolina. failed to oonirly with the
laws, it was called nullificntion. In the days of
1837, it was all owing to the sub-treasnry, as the
introduction of specie ruined all the banks and
over-traders of that. (lay. In 1847, or thereabout,
it was Polls, Dallas and the Tarilf of 1846. In
1857, for want of a. better term, we may call it a.
general Smash-up; 'in short, in those days all
hands were about hrokc. After a while all got.
started again, and were able to find the best ex
cuses for the frequent decennial break—downs ; but
what shall we say now ? A threntol‘ “secession” in
South Carolina is snfiicient to “nullify” the law in
Pennsylvania. There they practice as they
preach. Here we preach and don’t practice! Is
this it? or is it because exchange is against the
South, and the North richer than ever it was, that
suspension versus secession takes all by surprise ?
If Barnum could catch the cause he might find in
it a name for his “ What ls It ?” that he so exten
sively advertises. As it is, there is no conceivable
reason for the action of the banks,and We trust
the Governor, who has the right, and is the right
man, in virtue 01‘ his office, as well as the people,
will show these corporations that the laws of Penn
sylvania cannot be nullified every three years with
complete'impunity. ‘

-1 mm Swindled Out of s2o,ooo.—The heaviest
‘ confidence game we remember ever to have
heard of, was successfully practiced in this city
on Saturday last, upon a rich planter from near
Nashville, Tennessee. The circumstances con
nected with the transaction are substantially
as follows: Mr. T. L. Newcomb is the name of
the planter, and he is reported to be worth
$lOO,OOO. A few days ago he came to this city
with the view of investing the sum of $20,000
in real estate, or speculating in whatoVer might
offer inducements. Shortly after his arrival,
he made the acquaintance of a man who gave
his name as W. L. Johnson—Washington La
fayette Johnson in full. Mr. W. L. Johnson
represented that he was possessed of a. great
fortune, including, among other things, forty
arpents of land in the vicinity of the Fair
Grounds, and a fine block of buildings on Carr
street. between Fifteenth and Sixteenth, He
showed this property to Mr. Newcomb on one
or two occasions, driving him out in a carriage,
and also represented that his income for rents
alone was three thousand dollars per month.—
During this time, also, he frequently took occa.
sion to represent to Newcomb that any one
having a suitable amount of money could clear
two thousand dollars per day by investing in
some iron works in the southern part of the city.
Mr. Newcomb, it seems. believed all these state.
ments, and never for a moment entertained the
least suspicion but that the stories were all
correct, and, in fact, he had nearly made up
his mind to invest his money in the iron works,
Whereby he could realize $2,000 per day. ‘
Last Saturday, however, Johnson met. him
and appeared to be in a high state of excitement.
He stated that he had just closed a contract ‘
whereby he had agreed to furnish the city with
cellular iron pavement sufiicient to pava six
hundred blocks, but. unfortunately he had not
ready money sufiicient to engage in theenter
prise, and he: would be obliged to mortgage his
real estate to raise the necessary amount—a
thing he didn’t. care to do. However, if New
comb would loan him $20,000 he would give I
him a. share of the profits. Mr. Newcnmb
agreed to this and loaned him the sum of $B,OOO
cash on the spot, and gave thehemninder—
sl2,ooo—in bank certificates, which he helped
Johnson collect at different banks here in town.
Johnson, therefom, got his $20,000, and he has
not been seen Slnce. Yesterday Mr. N ewcomb
went to the ofiice ofJustice Young and desired
to have a warrant. issued for the arrest of John
son, but. Justice Young, on learning the partic
ulars of the ease, conducted Newcomb to the
detective police office, and made the detectives
acquainted with the cirCumsmuces. ' Newcomb.
it is said. has a brother in this citv, residing
on Washington avenue. The foregoing facts
are substantially the same as related to Justice
Young, and in the main are no daubt correct.

the least, be very large—~Bl. Louis L’qmblz‘cmz,

‘ shockingly deliberate murder that. was com~
mitted there last Friday. Mr. James Griflin,
while slightly intoxicated, went to sea a. Dr.
Robinson to get. him to prescribe for a dog.—
The doctor was not at home. and Mrs. Robin
son, conceiving the application of Grillin an in
sult, had it wordy quarrel with him, in which
hard language was used on both sides. The
next day, when sober, Griffin went to apolo
gize to Robinson, but Mrs. Robinson was still
implacable, and the quarrel was renewed.—
Robinson took his wife’s part, of course.—
Meantime, Mrs. Robinson had procured a. gun,
and was trying to use it, but not being able to
do, she gave it. to her husband to shoot Griffin.
He presented it, and shot Mr Griflin down on
the spot, the shot taking efieot. in the right
loin. arm and hip. Mr. Robinson was taken
into custody and committed to prison.

were deposited in the said stone the Holy Bible,
the Book of Common Prayer and the Constitu

about being placed in the stone; Bishop Elliott,

importance of thorough ventilation was exem
plified on Sunday last by unpleasant occurren
ass at the Universalist Church in Woonsocket.
R. I. For some reason the furnace in the
basement did not draw well, and gas was dif
fused through the Vestry during the session of
Sunday school, although its presence was
hardly perceived by those who were in attend
nnee. But when the children were dismissed
and reached the fresh air, their strength failed,
and many of them tumbled to the ground too
weak to sound, while some were seized with
vomiting and other violent symptoms of sink
ness. In the afternoon after the congregation
had assembled in the upper purt— of the houses
and the preacher had commenced his discourse.
one after another of the audience fainted,
until the excitement became too great; and the
exercises were summarily closed. After the
people had reached hume, some . were taken
severely sick. and remained in that condition
until late in the evening. The next morning.
however. all or nearly all had recovered their
usual health. The only reason assigned for
the sickness is impure air.

Mr. John Y. Height, Supervisor of New Castle, West.
cheater county, New York, says, November. 1858 :
“I was. two years ago, ettnc ed with fever and agm’,
which, notwithstanding the host medical advice, con
tinued to sorely nfiliet me for six tedious months; I be—
cam: yellow as sum-on. and reduced to skin and bone.
Medicine and physicians were abandoned in despair. As
In experiment, I cdncluded to try a. single dose of six
of Brnndreth’s Universal Vegetable Pills, on an empty
stomach, early in the morning. The first dose seemed
to arouse all the latent energies of my exhausted frame.
I feared the wo--st—their purgetlvo effect was different
from anything I had ever used or heard of. At length
this effect ceased, and I seemed lighter and breathed
freer. That evening I was indeed SPnsibly better and
slept soundly all night. The next day I followed the
same course, and _oontinnnd to take the ills in this way
about three weeks. when I found mysel}l entirely cured.
My health has been surprisingly good ever since.”
