n consequence oflhe foregoing upwards
eleven hundred shares were returned un
sold, amidst a burst of indignant feeling,
that will inevitably crush the Bank at some
future day, should it ever go into operation.
?We extract the following, which is the con-
deluding paragraph of a long article in the
j; Iycoiinng Gazette of tho 7th inst., and
ftwnicn win inrow some iigui on um iiuu
Ifcate situation in which Uicee political jug
ilglers have placed themselves:
jfWc do net believe, however, that with
such a formidable and never tiring opposi
(Uion as the proposed bank is inevitably dc
Bdned to encounter, it will ever'prcsumo to
tbJgo into operation; and tour reasons are
hcsc: The act of incorporation, although
"tH! best that could lie obtained, is a very
hard one for the Bank. It requires the pay
jnent of a bonus to the slate of ten thousand
,'dollars for the privileges grttnted in the
, 'cluxrler and, in addition, renders it sub
ject to all taxes on dividends which are at
present imposed on other banks that pay
ricjlbonus. It requires Unit one half the
cjpital stock, ($100,000) shall be paid in
before any discounts can be made, or notes
issued; and prohibits the bank from purcha
sing or holding any stock of any other in
. stiiution, and from hypothecating its own
rftock. There are other restrictions which
hrnay also sqinc day prove inconvenient,
i.BUcp as tho following: "The privileges
fhcreby granted to the said Bank) shall be
subject to such alterations, provisions and
restrictions as now exist, or such as the
legislature may at any time II ERISA F
TrJSlt think proper to enact," &c. These
ar5J unquestionably heavy burthens to be
imposed on a small country bank, justcom

necessity, expenses of purchasing a bank
Jrtgjl house, procuring engraved bank bills,
officer's salaries, and other contingent cx
nenscs, it is manifest that nothing can sus-

TIIK MONEY MARKET.
In Philadelphia, money can now be ob
tained at six per cent, per annum ; and the
"Daily Express," of New-York, says that
money has not been so plenty in that city
for a year past. The same paper adds
"the period of ShaVing and Usury is pawed
money is no longer-employed to buy up
notes." Wo arc reioiced at this stato of
things in those two cities; and wo feel con
fident that in a short time hence wc will
hear but little noise about "tho pressure,"
from anyquaVtcr.
Gold and Silver continue at a premium
of 8 and 0 per cent. They arc considered
as articles of merchandize, and will contin
ue such during the immense cxportalions to
Europe, which a're announced at the depar
turc of every packet-.
GOLD. During the month of May last,
$203,000 of gold was coined at the mint in
Philadelphia $111,000 of which was in
Quarter Eagles The amount of gold re
maining uncoined in the mint, on tho 31st
ult. was $113, 035. The Shin-plaster gen
try had better procure some of these 'mint-
drops.' They would circulate more freely
than rags, and at the same time incur no pe
nalty for violating the law.
.Qnccrfotc. The late John Randolph, of
Jioanouc, in the year 1813, when the new
York banks suspended specie payments,
bad a remittance of some thousand dollars
made him from England. Tho sum cover
ed the whole of one of his tobacco crops,
and tho funds were locked up in the vaults
ot the Bank ot America. Mr. Randolph
was at the time in the prime of life, in the
full enjoyment of unequalled popularity
He repaired to New York, and demanded
his funds in specie. It'Camlotbe had was
the prompt reply. "It must be had," was
the laconic response of Mr. Randolph. The
bank was incorrigible till the succeeding
day, when tho columns of the New York
Columbian announced by advertisement,
that that afternoon at 2 o clock, the Ilononv
blc John Randolph of Roanoke, would ad
dress the people on the subject ot Banks,
and the frauds they committed, from the
Steps of the Bank ofAnleriea! It is scarce
ly necessary to say, that before the hour ar
rived, every farthing demanded by Mr. Ran
dolph was paid over in specie.
A few such determined spirits would be
of great service to community at present.
They would compel the Banks to resume
specie payments and thoy would put a
stop the issuing of shin-plasters.
Tiib Biteii Bit Bickncll, the famqus
money broker, after reading the arrange
ments of the Baltimore Banks, as publish
ed in our last, purchased $15,000 of the
notes mentioned. He sent a messenger to
the monumental city for his change, when
he found that two rcn cent, discount was
demanded for all depositcs exceeding $200.
He grumbles mightily about the matter
in hia last "Reporter."
The pressure so much complained of
elsewhere, is but little lett in this county
all things go on as usual. Hundreds of
emigrants have located within her borders
this spring, and all things considered, wc
have comparatively nothing to coiljplaiil of.
This stato of affairs is mainly to attrib
uted to the fact of there being no bank loca
ted in the vicinity. If we had a bank, we
would have our borrowers, speculators, pres
sures, shin-plasters, and all the usual at
tendants of such institutions. If the times
are hard, situated as the people hpre are,
they will bo among the last to feel it. An
other causo that operates against the ap
proach of pestilence & pressures, is, that we
liavo few whigs and antimasons left among
us. Democrats who were deceived in the
character of Ritner and induced to support
his election, havo since deserted his stan
dard, and there is scarcely a corporal's guard
left to do hiln reverence.
Venango Democrat.
A correspondent of the New York Eve
ning Post says: "Laws arc only made for
the ricii. Tho Legislature has just arisen
from a most profound apathy. They want
to legalize tho illegal doings of chartered
Banks. Why don't they pass a law, so
that a poor man may havo a year to pay his
debts in?"
How strikingly illustrative ofthe present
state of things. Laws are enacted express
ly for rich men. If they fail by imprudenco
or extravagance, measures of'rclief are im
mediately sought and obtained by legal en
actment. Not so with the industrious poor.
Their half naked and starving children cla
moring for bread, while tho emaciated frames
df their toiling parents aro sinking un
der tho most incessant labor, by which thoy
obtain their pittance, but no sympathy is
manifested for them. Are these things right?
Should not tho blessings of Government,
like the dews of Heaven, descend alike
upon tho rich and poor? Then, why this
constant clamoring for laws to relieve tho
rich, that aro wallowing in allluonco, while
thousands of tho honest and industrious
poor aro sufi'ering for want of bread occa
sioned by the opprepsions of the wealthy.
From Texas. By 'the arrival of the
schr. William and Francis, yesterday, from
Galveston, a letter to a gentleman m this
city,vdatedat Vclasco, 24th inst. states that
the country was very quiet, and emigrants
arriving by thousands from all parts of the
United ntatcs.
Money was plenty, and provisions of all
kinds scarce. Congress was engaged in
appointing committees. A resolution had
passed the senate, appointing a minister to
the court of Great Britain, to solicit the re
cognition of their independence by that
government. J. (J. rtcyime.
