CLEARFIELD, PA., OCT. 11, 1857.
The Mosey Panic The Cause axd the
Remedy. Since , the commencement of the
prevailing pressure in monetary afliiis through
out the country, many speculations as to the
cause which produced it, have been indulged
in. One idea is, that the medium of traffic
termed currency, is not only coin, bullion,
Lank-notes, &c, but shares in stock compa
nies, transferable from hand to hand, answer
to a great extent the same purpose. If not
actually received aud paid out as so much
money, yet they frequently occupy the same
relat'or; to currency that checks do to a bank
deposit that ol being capable of being con
verted into money on short notice. Many of
the city merchants, dealers, &c, beside their
deposits in banks, have been in the habit of
keeping another reserve, bearing interest, in
the shape of railroad and other stocks, upon
which they relied as a means of raising money
in any emergency. Prior to the setting in of
the late crisis, the man who owned stocks was
in as good a position ns the one who hail a de-
ji.- jii, in a bank, lor he could at any time raise
money on them by sale of hypothecation. Tho
sudden depreciation of stocks, however, struck
t odcc out of existence an amount of this
pecies of currency, much larger than is sup
posed by even the business community at
lsrgs. In this view of the case, it is easy ac
counting for the failure r suspension of many
ef tbe heavy business men ot the country
r l.tzt i'.cy were pressed tor means, they could
not raise them by selling or pledging their re
serve stocks, which were of such uncertain
value that no one would consider it safe to
hold argr considerable amount of them- We
see it also alleged somewhere that the present
monetary diiKcultles were caused by the Xew
York banks having expanded seven millions
in thirty days. There is something plausible
in tHa suggestion. The United States Bank
produced a panic and great stringency in the
community by expanding seventeen millions
in five months, and then in two months con
tracting twelve millions. Such immense ex
pansions ".nd sudden contractions may have
bad something to do in hurrying the crisis up
on us ; but we think the present difficulties
bave originated in a diflcrent source. The
cause of all this financial trouble, say what
you will and argue as you may, is excessive im
portations, induced and stimulated by the tariff
of 1S4G, and the effect is tins immense issues of
bank paper to supply the place of gold, of
vhich our country is annually drained to pay
balances and the interest of foreign debts a
gainsk us. Our nation may be compared to a
family. II the family spend more than tfifcy
xake, they must expect sooner or later to be
involved in ruin. And this has been the case
with the United States lor several years, un
der the workings of the tariff of IS 10- We
Lave not been making as much money as paid
'or tbe goods and other articles that have been
iffipoi'cd. The gold and silver is all shipped
to Europe to pay for these goods. The large
products cf the California mines have not
ben sufficient to supply the deficiency they
.pt iLe crisis back a few years and now
the "evil days are upon us," and there is no
disguising the real cause. The remedy for
this, we conceive, 13 simple. Let our own
manufacturers be enccrraged more let tliein
be protected sufficiently to enable them to
compete with the foreign manufacturer, and
thus Induce merchants, instead ot importing,
to buy their goods at home. This will have
the effect of keeping in our own country the
larr sums rf it. which almost every ship
that !v.-.i,s ou.- poile .'r Euro, e. is now car
rying abroad it will displace tho paper circu
lation, and render general expansion imprac
ticable. If the present tariff policy is main
tained, the drain of frold will continue, in
volvement in debt will oe certain, paper is
sues will be availed of, and expansion, violent
contractirn. w brink rTy will ensue. But
let the remedy suggested a higher tariff,
which ril! reduce importations, and which
will es a ccriala iesult keep much of our gold
at home be app!!-,d, and the entire land will
soon be in the enjoyment of "good times."

SUMMARY OP HEWS.
The Ministers of Guatamala, San Salvador
and Costa Rico have addressed a note to Gen
Cass informing him that Walker is fitting out
anew expedition to Nicaragua, the men of
which are to go from the South, and the arma
ment from New York. The expedition is to
gather and be put together at the harbor of
Bocas del Norte, and then to land at that port.
The Ministers request that a vessel of war may
be sent to the former harbor, and that the one
pying at San Juan del Nforte be ordered to pre
vent the landing. They also desire that the
fillibusters may be sent back to the United
States as transgressors of our laws and distur
bers of the peace of friendly nations.
Mr. Ten Broeck's three year old horse "Ba
bylon," was run at the Doncaster races, Eng
land, on the 14th of September, and was badly
beaten. Ten horses were entered, "Babylon"
coming out fifth in the race. Mr. Payne's
horse, "Orlanda," w'on the race prize seven
ty sovereigns.
The State election in California resulted in
the success of the Democratic ticket through
the division of the opposition. On the vote
for Governor, Weller, Democrat, received 40,
000 ; Stanley, Republican, 27,000 ; Bowie, A
merican, 27,000.
In Central America a revolution against Car
rera, the Indian Dictator of Gautemala, has
broken out in that State, where the cholera is
also raging.
Damage to the amount of $100,000 has been
caused by an earthquake in the city of Puira,
in Pern, which country still suffers under the
horrors of civil war.
A despatch from Dubuqc, Iowa, says that
the steamer Ben Coursin was run into by the
steamer Key City, about two o'clock on Sun
day morning the 4th, when near La Crosse, on
the Mississippi river, and sunk immediately in
Jo feet of water. Fifteen of her deck passen
gers were drowned. The steamer is a total
loss.
The Xewbnryport (Mass.) Herald hears ot
considerable distress in the shoe manufactur
ing towns in Essex county. During the last
week many hands were discharged in Lynn,
and more expected to be this week. "The
winter prospects for the poor, hereabouts, are
gloomy." We fear the foregoing quotation
might be written of many towns in other States
beside Massachusetts.
A dralt for 111,000 was forwarded from the
Treasury, on Tuesday the Gth, for mail pay to
the Collins steamers.
Stocks to the value of $110,000 were re
deemed on Thursday the 8th.
Captain Moore, the Agent in Mexico of the
Chihuahua and San Francisco Railroad Com
pany, writes that the Tehuantcpec grant is un
favorable to the United States and of but lit
tle use to the grantees. He thinks the new
constitutional system likely to expire in finan
cial inanition, and says that President Comon-
fort niay, if his ambition is equal to his for
tune, make himself dictator for life, or, at
least, until the next revolution.
The substance of Carey Jones's letter to the
State Department is that he has not yet suc
ceeded in finding the Government of Nicara
gua, but will prosecute his researches so long
as Gen. Cass is willing to pay him $8 a day.
It is stated that ex-Mayor Samuel A. Elliot,
of Boston, has become insane, and was taken
to the Insane Hospital on Saturday the 3d, in
consequence of the loss of his whole estate
by the failure of C. II. Hills & Co.
Andrew Johnson, the present Governor of
Tennessee, was elected on the 8th as succes
sor to the lion. James C. Jones in the United
States Senate, from that State.
About 4 o'clock on the morning of the 8th,
a violent shock of earthquake was felt at St.
Louis. Seven minutes later another shock,
less severe, was felt. They made the most
substantial buildings tremble, and overturned
small articles in dwellings. The shocks were
also felt at Springfield, Illinois.
Three distinct shocks of earthquake were
felt at Centralia, 111., on the morning of the
S(h, about 4 ocloek. The first shock was so
violent as to demolish chimneys and awaken
citizens.
Letters from Wm. Carey Jones contain re
ports of his conversations with President Mo
ra, but throw but little light upon the aflairs
of Nicaragua. Jones has no diplomatic pow
ers, but will suggest terms for a treaty by
which to regulate the transit route and matters
connected therewith.
Rumors of a division in the Cabinet are in
creasing. Toucy will be thrust out if possible,
but the most serious difficulty arises from a
disagreement between Secretary Cobb and the
President as to Governor Walker's course. If
Slavery triumphs in Kansas,things will remain
as they are; if net, Southern extremists may
force Cob'j out and put a full-blooded fire-eater
in his shoes.
Late advices from Kansas state that the
Democratic majority in Leavenworth county is
100 ; Atchison 47 ; Johnson 250 ; Doniphan a
bout even. The same authority thinks that
the Democrats have carried tho legislature by
a small majority but a disinterested gentle
man just arrived at Boonville from Santa Fe,
who passed through tho interior counties of
Kansas, and a resident of Boonville just ar
rived from Lawrence, reports that the Repub
licans have carried the Legislature by a large
majority.
A new Mexican who left Sante Fe on the
15th ult. reached Independence on the 7th
inst. lie states that Otero was re-elected to
Congress by 4000 majority. The Indians are
quiet. The Cheyennes are anxious to mae
peace.
Quindaro dates to the 7th state that so far as
heard from the election passed off quietlv.
At several places the polls were kept oxen till
Tuesday evening.
Washington, Oct. 9. The Southern Mail
brings Galveston dates to the 28th. General
Tw iggs has been compelled to detain a force
of 23 men to guard the Government train from
attacks by persons in disguise.
The Interior Department has received mes
sages from Col. Nobles, Superintendent 0 the
party to construct a wagon road in Minnesota,
from which it appears that there is now com
pleted from the Big Sioux to the Missouri riv
er, a road over which any train can pass, and
that in the course of a month it will be exten
ded to Ft. Ridgely, the eastern terminus on
the Missouri river.
Harper Brothers, the extensive publishers,
in New York, suspended on the 8th. The
house is repotted to have a surplus of one mil
lion dollars. -
Produce is fast accumulating at Detroit. ,
There is very little going forward on account
of the derangement of tbe currency and the
uncertainty of the Eastern markets. ,The
stock of flour on hand is larger than at any
previous period at this season. The receipts
by railroad yesterday amounted to 3,200 bbls
of flour, 10,000 bushels of wheat.
J
PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE
The extra session of the Legislature con
vened at Ilarrisburg, on Tuesday the Gth, at
12 o'clock, noon. Both branches were called
to order by their respective Speaker, soon
after which the following message from Gov.
Pollock was received and read : V
To the Senate and House of Representatives of
the Commonireath of Pennsylvania, iu Gen
era Assembly met :
Gentlemen : By virtue of the power con
ferred upon me by the Constitution, I have
deemed it my imperative duty to convene
the General Assembly at this time. An extra
ordinary occasion for so doing, as contempla
ted by tlie Constitution, has arisen, and ac
cordingly you have been called together to
adopt such measures of relief as the present
exigencies may seem in your wisdom to de
mand. A sudden and severe financial revulsion has
occurred, inducing,. a suspension of specie
payments by the Banks of this commonwealth
and some of our sister States. . This result,
however much to be regretted and deplored,
was unavoidable, having become,-, from the
operation of causes unnecessary now to be
enunitrated, a stern necessity- Thus circum
stanced, the community are suffering from
the want of a currenc.-, the destruction of
confidence, and the numerous "evils conse
quent on financial enlbajrassment. Every de
partment of industry has feH-flnd been disas
trously affected by the shock, traileand com
merce have been . paralyzed.. the mefruhantj
the manufacturer and the mechanic, haye
seen their bright prospects suddenly blasted
and many have been involved iu a ruin which
no ordinary sagacity or foresight could avert.
Many of our furnaces, rolling mills and facto
ries have been closed, extensive and valuable
coal operations have been suspended or aban
doned, and thousands of workmen are out of
employment, oppressed with doubt and anxie
ty, and alarmed with gloomy apprehensions
of the future. i V
It is not my intention to discuss in this com
munication the causes of the present-financial
difficulties and commercial embarrassment
The evil is upon us, troubles surround us," and
to relieve the conimnnhvvrestore the confi
dence, and briiig baek the prosperity lately
eiijdyed, and which, it is hopedis but tem
porarily interrupted, prompt and luhjuonious
action, wise and generous legislation Vill be
required. The present exigency requites,
aud every consideration of the present and
ture interests of the Commonwealth and tin
people, wouklscem to-demand that the Banks
should be releitsd from the penalties and for
feitures incurred byt'ie suspension, . which
should be authorized for sttah reasonablepe-
riod as will enable them with safely to resume
the payment of their liabilities in spetvje.
To force the Banks intcirt too early liquida
tion would compel them to require imme'diato
payment from thir debtors, and would entail
upon the community the miseries o-f-Hvide-spread
bankruptcy and ruin, whifo, ''on the
other hand, an unreasonable extension of the
unnatural state ot suspension, would greatly
increase the evils of an irredeemable paper
currency. The resumption of specie pay
ments should not be postponed longer than
is clearly necessary, and the best interests of
the community may require.
The general embarrassment and depression
of trade and commerce, and the consequent
depreciation of the value of real and personal
property, if permitted to continue, w ill seri
ously affect the revenues of the Common
wealth. The credit of the State, now so well
sustained, and so honorable to her character,
maj' be endangered, not by any inability to
pay, but from the difficulty, if not the impos
Mbiiity, of procuring a medium in which pay
ment can be made. The faith of the State
must be preserved intact. I therefore recom
mend that the Banks which may be relieved
fri'tn the penalties upon such suspension by ex
isting laws, stiall be required to make a satis
factory arrangement with tho State Treasurer,
by which he will be enabled' to convert the
current funds in the Treasury, and balances re
maining to his credit in any of the solvent
banks of the Commonwealth, into specie as
soon as the aiuc shall become necessary for
the payment of the interest on the funded
debt. And as a further relief to the commu
nity, and as a condition of the release of the
penalties and forfeitures incurred, it is respect
fully recommended that the solvent Banks of
the Commonwealth which paid specie for all
their liabilities immediately prior to their late
general suspension, shall be re.quircd (under
such limitations and restrictions as may be
deemed expedient) to receive the notes of
each other continuing solvent, at par, in pay
ment of all debts due, or to become due to
them respectively, during their suspension ;
the bank or banks resuming specie payments
to be relieved from this condition. For the
relief of the debtors, provision should be made
for an extension of time in which execution
on judgments may issue, and the period now
provided by law lor the stay of execution.
The issue of relief or banks not.es, of a less
denomination than five dollars, should not
now be authorized, nor should the Banks, dur
ing their suspension, be permitted to declare
dividends exceeding six per cent, per annum
The monied institutions of the Commonwealth,
it is lielieved, are generally in a sound and
solvent condition, and if the measures sug
gested be adopted, the Banks will be enabled
to meet all their liabilities, supply a currency
adequate to the demands of legitimate trade
and the ordinary business of life, regain pub
lic confidence, aid and revive every branch of
industry, and save their creditors and the com
munity from the bankruptcy and ruin, inevita
bly consequent on the intense pressure of the
present financial crisis.
The questions submitted for yonr considera
tion are important and momentous. They
rise far above all partizan or political conside
rations or calculations. A suffering commu
nity, in the hour of their anxiety and peril,
expect at your hands, prompt and patriotic ac
tion for their relief. Influenced by no other
considerations than the public good, prompted
by no other than honest and honorable convic
tions of a public and private duty, may the re
sult of your deliberations meet the expecta
tions, relieve the wants, and harmonize with
the true interests of the people.
v. Jamss Pollock.
J After the message had been read in the Sen
ate Mr. Jordan submitted a bill to the follow
ing effect :
J Section 1st suspends the operation of all
acts declaring the suspension of specie pay
ments by banks a forfeit of their charter, and
remits all penalties for such violations of the
charter. It authorizes loans and disconnts,
and the issue by banks of their own and other
notes for a period of days, and restricts the
dividends to six percent, per annum.
Section 2d requires the publication of quar
terly statements of the condition of the banks
of the Commonwealth in the newspapers.
Section 3d requires all banks, during their
suspension of specie payment, to receive the
notes of all other banks in payment for debts
which were sound on the 24th of September,
under certain regulations.
Section 4fli requires that the deposits of the
State Treasury in any of the banks shall be
paid in specie.
Section 5th authorizes a stay of execution
on judgment for one year, in cases where the
defendant's estate, in the opinion of the court,
is worth the amount of the judgment, or were
security be given.
Section 0th requires that the act shall take
effect immediately on its passage, and the pro
viso be accepted by the bank within sixty days.
Mr. Brown also submitted a supplement to
the act of 1850 regulating the banks.
Oct. 10. The House agreed to take up the
Relief Bill, passed by the Senate yesterday,
which was disposed of by going into commit
tee of the whole, and placed on second read
ing. A motion fixing the time of resumption
on the 3d Monday of January, 1859, and an
other fixing the first July next, were lost.
In the Senate, the motion leaving the time
for resumption indefinite, and leaving the
-question to the next Legislature, was defeat-
wii; ui'niuu uaiii nit; uiiru .uonuay
in January next. An amendment requiring
all banks to pay specie for notes of the denom
ination of five dollars, was carried.
A New Secret Order the "Molly Ma
oriRE." The "Molly Maguiie" is a secret po
litical Democratic organization, composed
wholly of Roman Catholic Irishmen, and it is
inten.'.od to spread the society over the coun
try, in order to control the Democratic nom
inations and the elections. It is the ruling
power in the Democratic party. The late nom
inating Convention of the party in Philadel
phia, was composed principally of the Molly
Maguires, who secured nearly all the officers.
It is bound by oaths, is strictly organized, with
presiding and subordinate officers, pass-words,
signs, grips, degrees, &c. Such is the influ
ence of this secret order, that candidates for
office find it necessary to secure its favor in
order to make sure of their nomination. Some
of the Democrats are indignant, arid talk ol
calling a Convention of true Democrats to
crush out the "Molly Maguires," who are look
ed upon as a kind of foreign "know nothing"
order. It is alleged to have originated iu Bos
ton, and extended thence to New York and all
the principal cities of the Union.
A Hard Hit. The Fremont (Ohio) Journal
tells a good story of a nominee for representa
tive in that county, who was addressing some
twenty-live or thirty persons in the usual in
flated style of politicians, and making the
most outrageous chargesagainst his opponents,
when he paused suddenly and exclaimed : Now
gentlemen, what do you think ?" Instantly
a man rose in the assembly, and with one eye
partly closed, modestly, with Scotch brogue,
said: "I think, sir, I do indade, sir, I think
that if you and I would stump the county to
gether, we could tell more lies nor any other
two men in the county, sir, and I'd not say a
u-otd myself, all the time, sir!"
One of those inconsistent fellows, of whom
we have some, even in this duelling region,
who think it no sin to abuse a man ever so
roundly with their tongues, but a great sin to
fight, received a well-merited rebuke, the other
day. His old man was up, as it often was, and
he wound up his abuse by adding : "I would
give you what you need, but you know my
hands arc tied." "Then," said , the other,
"you ought to keep your tongue tied." We
think so too. A little the meanest man out,
is one who pretends to be so religious that he
cannot fight ; but has not religion enough to
restrain him from insulting his neighbor.
TnE Difference. The difference between
a republic and a monarchy is thus truthfnlly
pointed out by somebody : "Pile all the peo
ple into a pyramid, with the President for the
apex, and you have the symbol of a r"public.
You can shake the president, but you cannot
move the united force of the people. Invert
the pyramid, with a king for its base, and you
have a symbol of a monarchy. Trip np that
King, and ths whole structure falls into confusion.
A Blest Cox.cu'Sios. The N. Y. Sun de
clares calmly, but with great calmness : "We
are becoming a' nation of vain, extravagant
fools. From January first to this date, we
have imported foreign merchandise to the
value of one hundred and seventy-five mil
lions of dollars alnnit fourteen millions more
than onr imports amounted to for the same
time last year Tlie value of our exports
since Jan. 1st, is about fifty millions of dol
lars, or four millions of dollars less than our
exports for tbe same time last year. We
have run into debt this year alo: e about one
hundred and twenty-five millions of dollars,
and by the end ol the year our foreign debt
for imported goods will be much larjrer."
Mind Little Tuixgs. Mr. Emerson, in bis
lectures upon New England, relates the follow
ing anecdote: An opulent merchant in Boston
was called upWi by a friend in behalf of char
ty. At that time ho was admonishing his
cltifr noxusing whole wafers instead of halves ;
hisrfit- bought the circumstance was un
propitirfvJHIt to his surprise, on listening to
the appeal, the merchant subscribed five hun
dred dollars. The applicant expressed his
astonishment that any person who was so par
ticular ab jut half a wafer should present five
hundred dollars to a charity but the mer
chant said: "It is by saving half wafers, and
attending to such little things, that I have ngw
. Late advices from Leavenworth, Kansas,
state that Leavenworth county is the only one
heard from giving thus far a Democratic ma
jority. The troops voted at the instance of
Gov. Walker. Parrots, the Free State candi
date for Delegate to Congress, is reported to
have from 5000 to 8000 majority. It is esti
mated that the Republicans have a large ma
jority in the Legislature.
