t Thi Elcctios rs Pexssixtabia. TVell, the
lection is over. Tbe returns show tliat the
American Republicans are a . badly whipped
;COmniUDity," and, that' the-JloHy -Magnire
.Slave Democracy are tbe victors Packer, in
all probability, will hare from S0,000 to 40,000
majority As acotemporary remarks, if there
la any consolation in being well whipped, we
hare it in this State. Besides this, the vote
.for Wilmot will be a Bt.lendid : one to gain on
4n future plenty F room to spread out in.
l.iThis result is Another evidence of the ua
.certaia and mutabla nature of politics. It is
u!y; three jears since William Biglef, the
Democratic '.candidate, was beaten ' : nearly
40,000 Tutes in tbe State, and now that party
comes out of a Gubernatorial contest with
that much f a majority. .' i" I
i ,Tiie Legislature will be largely Democratic
-That party having the Governor and Legisla
ture, they will be responsible for the bank Ic
-gislatioa which will be demanded the eDsuiog
'winter, and with both National and State gov
ernmcnts in their bauds, we shall see what
they will make out of tbe financial derange
merit, a.id bow they will open and put in ope
ration the now closed workshops and restore
4bi common prosperity, which is suffering so
jMJVarely at present. '
i -The few thousand voters who were misled
-into tbe support of Hazlehurst, by a few po.
litical charlatans, who were, so to speak,
"wearing, the livery of heaven to serve the
devil in,5? can now take time to reflect upon
"tb error of their coursej and come' to a full
realisation of the pretensions and objects of
the "side-door" leaders. We do not wish to
b understood as censuring those voters who
were sincere in supportingliini they only ex
cite our pity. - '
Bark Scspeksioss. The suspension of mo
nled institutions bas spread all over the Union.
The banks of .New York City, Boston, Port
land, Cincinnati, St. Louis, New ; Orleans,
Washington, and other prominent places, have
within the past week yielded to a greater or
less extent to the pressure, and many of them
are now in a state of suspense. Even TJncle
Ram has united in the general movement so
far as to stop redeeming its funded debt. The
surplus In the Treasury has been reduced,
since the 1st August, from near $20,000,000
to $9,090,000, and the excuse Is that between
tbe rapid redemption of stocks and the slen
der receipts of revenue, the Treasury was be
ing fast depleted, and bur worthy National
relative would soon be as poor as anybody.
The first general bank suspension in the TJ
aited States was in 1S14, during the period of
the war with Great Britain, and was immedi
ately produced by the measures of government
necessary to prosecute that war w ith advan
tage. This suspension, by depreciating the
exchangeable value of bank notes, caused f pe-
cie to disappear rapidly, as individuals inva
riably board that which is the most valuable.
There followed immediately a most pestifer
ous crop of irredeemable paper, issupd by pri
vate bankers and by Individuals, and common
ly known as "shin plasters." As there was
no check upon the issue, of course this kind
of paper increased to an unlimited extent, un
til its credit was entirely broken down. The
losses to the community were very large, for
probably not one half of it was ever redeemed
The notes of the banks suffered, during the en
. tire ieriod, a depreciation of nearly one-fifth
their nominal value. Contraction being forced
upon tber banks, after much suffering in the
business community and numerous failures,
specie payments were resumed in 1S17.
The next suspension was in 1837, when all
the banks in the cour I. y repudiated. This
suspension led to another flood cf shin-plas
leas, and brought into existence, the Sub
Treasury system a system that caused Martin
Van Buren to be defeated in 1840, and yet it
Is thought to be thebest monetary arrange
ment ever connected with the finances of the
Nation. It cts as a check to our banks in
peculative times, and comes to their rescue
during a panic. .

. . THE BELIEF BILL.
Prior to the adjournment of the recent Ex
tra Session of tbe Legislature, a bill, entitled
An Act for the. resumption of specie pay
ments' by the '. Banks, and for the Relief of
Creditors," was passed. The following arti
cle from the N. Y. Tribune will give a c.orrect
idea of its provisions :: ,
"The bill passed by the" Pennsylvania Le
gislature nominally for the relief of the Banks,
bas in fact a much wider' scope. That scope
indeed is indicated iu the title of the bill, ia
which it is expressly described to be, among
other things, An Act for the Belief of Debt
ors ' i ' ' -
'The enactments In favor of the banks are
two-fold. First : A remission, until the sec
ond Monday of April next, of all penalties of
forfeiture of charters or otherwise, : incurred
by the suspension of specie payments, in favor
of all banks that may within thirty days ac
cept the provisions of this act. " And, second :
An agreement on the -part of the State to ac
cept their bills in payment of taxes and tolls.
That acceptance will carry with it the follow
ing obligations on the part of tho banks, viz :
First .-'From and after January next a publica
tion by tiro batiks of Philadelphia and Pitts
bUrh (including also the adjoining "city of
Allegheny) of a weekly statement, snd by all
the other 'IjauIcs of the State of a'; monthly
statement of their condition as to loans and
discounts, specie'. balances' due from other
banks,' deposits,". including balances due to
other banks, and amount of notes outstanding'.
kecond : bo long as the suspension shall con
tinue, the reception by the banks at par in
paymeut of debts due to them of (he notes of
all the solvent banks of the. States. AH the
banks which paid specie up to the first of Sep
tember last are to be deemed solvent, and
their nutes are to be received until rcpresen
tations shall be made to the Governor by the
President and directors of some other, banks,
under oath, of their apprehension and belief
that the bauk so certified against is insolvent.
The Governor thereupon is to appoint a com
mission of three disinterested persons to in
vestigate the affairs of the bank, complained
of,and to report within ten days. If they shall
report it solvent, then its notes are to be re
ceived by the other banks as before, and the
applicants arc to pay the costs of the proceed
ing. If the bank shall refuse to permit the
investigation, or shall be reported as in an un
safe condition, then the charter is to be for
feited, and the bauk is to cease operation and
to assign for, the benefit of its creditors, the
expenses of the investigation to bo paid out
of the assets. Third :' The banks are . to re
deem in specie their notes received , by the
State for taxes to an extent sufficient to ena
ble the State Treasurer to meet the interest,
as it becomes due, of the State debt. Fourth .
The accepting bauks are to pay into the State
Treasury, in acknowledgment of the privileges
granted to them, an amount equal to one
fourth of one per cent, on their capital. Fifth:
The Commonwealth also assumes the right of
annulling at pleasure tho charter of any bank
accepting this act, whenever, in their opinion,
it may prove injurious to the citizens ; but
this annulment is to bo made so as to do no in
justice to the corporators. This power of
annulling charters, and also the requirement
of , bank returns, appear to be without any
limitation. The other obligations and restric
tions imposed upon the banks expire, with.
or will be merged in, tho resumption of specie
payments.
'Such are the provisions in favor of the
banks. The section for the relief of individ
ual debtors provides that whenever a judg
ment debtor has an estate in fee simple within
the county in which the judgment is render
ed, which shall be estimated by the Court
rendering the judgment to be equivalent in
value (making allowance for all incumbrances
upon it) to the judgment rendered, or when
ever such judgment creditor shall, within
thirty days after the rendition of the judgment,
give security to the satisfacion of tbe Court
for the payment of the amount, with interest
and costs, he shall then be entitled to a stay of
execution for one year; but ibis stay of ex
ecution, is not to lie granted in the case of
mortgage debts, unless tbe interest shall be
kebt paid up (with an allowance, however, of
sixty days' grace within which to pay it,) nor
is it to apply to judgment for wages, nor to
suits upon which stay of execution has already
been taken under existing laws, nor to debts
upon which stay of execution is expressly
waived by the debtors.
"It will be seen that the extension or relief
granted by this act to private debtors is much
greater than that granted to the banks. It
amounts in fact to a suspension of the collection
of debts for twelve-months as to all creditors
Who are disposed to avail themselves of it."

' EI-H0 ! F0K SALT EIVERl
A few days since, some kind friend in Fhil-
delphia, no doubt fuliy satisfied with our in
disputable right to navigate Salt River, sent
us, a ticket foratripon the schooner "Molly
ilagnire." The ticket is a pretty one, and we
set much store by it ; and we would certainly
be ungrateful if we did not express our thank
fulness to our" friend for his attention.
As our voyage up the famous saline stream
is likely to occupy some time, we thought we
might as well say "good-bye" to our more for
tunate political acquaintances before our de
parture. They , will, doubtless, find plentj.to
engage their attention- during our! absence.
In consequence of a reduction of the tariff,
under Democratic rule, our country bas been
brought to the verge of rnin manufacturies
have been stopped thousands of ' laborers
thrown out of employment the drain of -gold
to pay excessive importations has produced a
panic, causing banks to suspend or break, and
paralysing all branches of business. With the
Federal' and State governments under their
control, a majority in' the Legislature and
Congress, the Democracy will have a fine op
portunity of testing their boasted ability to
legislate properly for the common weal" and
to restore the country to a prosperous "condi
tion. Wo can quietly look' on and see how
they manage matters, and if they perform any
thing Worthy of commendation, we shall wil
lingly give them due credit. ' . ,T '
We have not fully determined what we shall
do during our visit. Asa matter'of course,
we will take things as easy as possible ; bu at
the same time we shall keep an eye on the po
litical sea, and inform our friends of any un
usual movements vt the waters, and 'of the
relative position of the various squadrons. '
As we shall, in all probability, bare some
leisure-time whilst remaining in the noted re
treat of unsuccessful parties, we shall be hap
py to attend to consignments of Wool or Ila-
zlcnuts, that any one may desire to make for
that locality. As it is likely that there will
a large business done in the first named arti
cle, we trust that some system w ill be adopted
which will prevent us trom being crowded. It
will make no difference abot.t the Ilazlonuts,
as their number will be so small that they will
be little trouble attending to.
The War, to so ..it. The country is now,
commercially, at a stand-still. : There is no
movement, and until there is, there can bo no
lile. There must be a beginning, somewhere,
and that beginning cannot be made in a better
way than by the payment of the small debts
which the people of the country owe to one a
nothcr, - The country Is full of grain and pro
duce of all kinds, and the cities are nearly
empty and ready to purchase freely. Many
farmers are indebted in small sums to country
storekeepers, and are probably . waiting till
money is plenty, to pay them. There is no
need to wait. Let every farmer so indebted
gather up enough flour, or grain, or other pro
duce, if he has it to spare, sufficient to cancel
his debt, and pay it, instead of money, to the
storekeeper. The latter, without a doubt,
will be glad to take it, for it will enable him
to pay bis debts in the cities where he deals,
his city creditors will be able to meet their li
abilities, in turn, and so on, until one debt
cancels another, and that another, and that
another, and a few thousand bushels of grain
thus put in motion will carry relief to many
who are now groaning under a load too heavy
for them to carry. Mechanics and others can
be paid in the same way ; and there is scarcely
anybody that would not gladly take produce
of some sort in payment n accounts.
Pursuit op Specie odeb Difficulties.-
A Cincinnati assorting broker visited a bank
in Lafayette, Indiana, with $7,000 of bills, de
manuing specie for the same. The teller, on
the presentation ot the notes, offered to liqui
date the bills aforesaid, one at a time, in ten
cent pieces. The fellow wauted gold, and of
lered to discount but the bank officer was in
exorable ; so Mr. broker gathered up his uotes
and departed in disgust. At Laporte, in the
same State, a similar attempt caused a mob, as
will be seen by this paragraph from tho Lafay
etto Courier:
"We learn from a gentleman who left Michi
gan City this morniBg, that there was a mob
and great excitement in Laporte yesterday
growing out of an attempt by some Cincinnat
brokers to make a run on the Branch of the
New State Bank m that city. . The bank and
the whole square in the vicinity was blocked
up by a large crowd of jexcited citizens, nuru
bermg over one thousand. The brokers were
notified to leave town immediately. The
President of the bank expressed his ability
and willingness to pay, but the people would
not allow it.
Tue Sepoys. The history of 4hc Sepoy re
volt, still reeking with blood and full of "hor
rors, brings us down to the middle of Aujrust.
Ar that time, out of about 100.000 native sol
diers in Lengal, but nineteen regiments of In
fantry and six of cavalry remained true to
their . standards- These amounted to about
25,000 men. All the rest had cither revolted
or been disbanded for insubordination the
latter a strange way cf redncing rebellion. ' It
appears more like flinging loose iuto the exci
ted mass of the populace the very seeds which
thcBritish are striving to eradicate. " The
English power in India seems to have gone ;
to have fled away like a dream or an exhala
tion," and with a population of 'JitKX),000 fierce
and fiery people to serve as a source of future
supply to the. native army,-a -terrible war lies
before the Britons to conquer back what they
so speedily lost. ' . -. . ; , ;
We observe in the Londou papers a notice
of two predictions or legends which have at
tained general circulation in India, that the
British power in that country would terminate
with tho end of oho century from the time of
its establishment, and that tho possessor of the
Kohinoor diamond holds a fatal treasure that
shall bring destruction in the due time set a
part by the gods. The battle of Plassey was
fought by Lord Clivo in 1757, and the -fatal
Kohinoor diamond is among the royal jewels
of Great Britain. These two events serve as
a stimulus to the dreadful exertions of the Se
poys, and in fulfilment of the dread decrees of
their deities, blood and desolation only sweet
en the terrible vengeance which they consider
it a religious duty to take upon the people of
abated race and a despised religion. Pitts
