The steamer Baltic brought, a few
days ago, from Liverpool £72,699
that is, $8011,462. The day before the
Baltic left it was said to hare been as
eertairted that .4270,000 (01,850,000)
mere, just received in England by the
Red Jacket from Australia, had all
been taken up for the United States.
This would no doubt be forwarded by
the succeeding steamer, now dee at
New York, so that it may be said we
have, right off, an aggregate off/1,713,-
492 from England, while the California
steamer, due in a few days, it is reason
able to expect will bring at least $l,-
500,000 in addition. If we add to these
contributions which may be looked for
from Havana, it is not an unreasonable
calculation that the close of this week,
will find New York at least some three
millions and a quarter stronger in spe
cie than was the case a week ago.
Former Bank Suspensions.
The first general suspension of specie
payments by banks occurred in 1814,
immediately after the capture of the
city of Washington by the British.
The banks of New York and all the
South and West suspended, and did not
resume for three or four years.
The general suspension in 1887, be
gan at New York, May 10th, and the
next day the banks of ...Boston, Phila
delphia and Baltimore followed. The
banks of Cincinnati suspended on the
17tit.
A general resumption of specie pay - .
meets was attempted in lbaiii, but a
large proportion of the banks did not
snomed in the operation, and a univer
sal resumption was not effocted until
1t 1 42 and 1844.
• The suspension in 'New York in 1887
was preceded by a period of wpm*.
dented commercial distress. Three
hundred heavy firms failed there that
spring, with liabilities estimated at
340,000,000,and it was said that 20,000
LAM, dependent on ilistr daily labor for
their support, were thrown oat of em
ployment. The pressure was squally

'the questionof banking ind ear
viewed* connection with the
present moneyed crisis. The article.'
1111* NI at information, sad oxibibni an I
arnw of Sicts which cannot be over
thrown. Ina recent article the Unfelt
presents the following picture of the
condition of the country at this time.
It is truly cheering, and furnishes
abundant evidence for the belief that
oar moneyed difficulties will be of own-1
pinstively brief daration, if the people
will only rise up like men and meet the,
crisis. The Union thus exhibits our
commercial position with foreign na
tions
We owe them nothing. The balahoe
of trade is in our favor. England is in ,
oar debt. It is immaterial to the ques.l
Lion that some of her capitalists have
chosen, from time to time, to invest t
large sums of money in our railroad 1
companies. Their biting misfortunes
with the stocks of Mississippi years ago I
projected them heedlessly upon corpora-1
Lions, If they had put their money in
State stocks it would have boen sa v e .—
All that is tbus vested will be found to
be so. The interest which those loans
will drew from the country will be wall
parstively small. But the actual in
debtedness of England will be more 1
than a counterbalance for any drain!
which may be made by her citiselui for
interest upon loans. We at this mo
ment stand fair and equal with all na-
Lions, and have nothing to oppress or
even to annoy us from abroad. What,
then, is our condition in regard to our,
time resources? We shall simply
'peek in round numbers, but within the
minimum of the true figured.
Our cotton crop of last year was one
hundred sod thirty millions. It will
bo now worth one hundred and sixty.
Oar tobacco crop tlds year will pro
due* twenty millions oldollars. There
are twenty-Ono Statue in the Union
which grow4obscoo, and the crop of
this year is-an average one.
Our whdattrop in 1850 was one bun.'
1 -red millions of bushels, and estimatted
(i 'that year at an equal atnount of dollars.
Sine, then a very great stimulus has
been applied to wheat-gipwing. Then
we had only eleven minions of acres in
wheat. Now we have not lees than
twenty-five. It is seven years since
then, which is an item to clause Increase,
and must be added to that of years, and
the greater der .and now than then.—
The product of wheat., we have no
doubt, will be two hundred and twenty
five millions of bushels. It may be
Led at at opal sum in dollars.
California will produce forty-five
millions of gold. This will not leave us
as heretofore. Then four-fifths of it went
away, Thisyev four-fifths ofit will re
main,
Our prop of corn iu 1850 was seams
te4 as two hundred sant sixty-six mil
lions of dollars, . This year we shol/
have eight hundred millions of bushels.
It will be worth wore than the rum of
that year.
Besides these staple articics, ws have
a long list of exports, which would
!wall thy aggrego;~ aMMUIt to an hn
manse number of millions.
But we have not finished the reckon
ing. It is to bo remembered that there
is at this moment w.the bands of the
people a much larger nuifiunt of specie
than has ever before•lmen - in the United
States. Besides, the people owe less.—
As a people they are not in debt. The
South is comparatively free from debt,
and a very general prosperity, North
and South, prevades the agricultural
community.
These great resources will assuredly
put us all right within ei*ht months.—
This is about the period when a largo
body of our exports will begin to yield
us ample returns.
As to the markets which we are to
have abroad, and the remedies which
are to be applied at home, we shall ad
vert to them hereafter. We think as
to the drat they may be relied upon,
and as to the last they may be made et
deient.
Here are facts from which the real
wealth of the country can be plainly
seen and fairly estimated. There is no
cause for despondency. The stream of
prosperity is only impeded in its uni•
form flow. It is not dried up. Europe
needs our produce, and we have agreat
abundance to sell. Cotton and Tobac , -
co, Wheat and Flour are so mach gold
to the people. The only thing necessa
ry is to remove the pritustry cause of
this stoppage of our national prosperity
—inflated paper currency—and substi
tute in its place a currency of fixed,
certain value. This will infuse confi
dence into all departments of business,
and remove the cloud which now lowers
over the homes and hearths of our peo
ple. That duty must be met and per
formed by men of all political parties if
they would see their country perma
nently prosperous.—Peassyinanias.
The State Finances.—There is a vast
difference in the condition of the State
Treasury now, from what it was when
the "hard times" of 183 T came on.—
TAen, the State was literally bankrupt
—*he could not pay the interest on her
bonds, nor the debts °Detracted for
work on her internal improvements ;
and before she could get out of her dif
ficulties, she was forced to the &ape
late extremity of taking a loan of over
two millions from the Banks of the
„ relief" notes which afterwards be
came a mil offence in the nostrils of
the people. Now, however, the &ate
Treasury • has plenty of funds to meet
all the dentands upon it, and a hand
some surplus besides. The books of
the Pepartment show that the balance
in the Treasury on the 80th of Septem
ber, was 8480,82411--nearly half a
saillion at dollars. This excess, so soon
after the half-yeady payment of the in
terest dos upon the &ate debt, shows
that the *names of Pennsylvania are
in a lionrishiag eendtties. The pros.
mire has not steeled jams and the

All prospect of Kansas becoming a
slave State has petrified them with
alarm. The contest is over; the qnes
tion has been virtually decided, and
Kansas shrieks no more. The Kansas-
Nebraska act, which secured to the
people of Kansas the right to determine
the question of slavery for themselves,
has been vindicated. The people have
resorted to the-polio, and have loom
tAlabed that width oould never have
been done by rebellion. Xausat is at
rest—the means that have produced
that rest, the simple process of voting."
Ohlo.—The Cincinnati Enquiry says
it is now pretty certain that Salmon P.
Chase, by a narrow squeeze, has been
re-elected Governor of Ohio, He has,
however, to meet a Democratic Legis
lature, and will find his position for the
next two years decidedly unoomfortebte,
as his whole X 01039 1 .11 be completely
condemned bt - the people's representa
tives. The next Howe of Representa
tives in Ohio will probably *attain ftfty
eight Democrats to forty-five Black
Republicans and one independent.--
There would seem to be no doubt of a
Democratic majority in the next House.
In the last House they had bat thirty
five members to the Black Republicans'
seventy-six. Chases' zmijority will bo
bat it few hundred.
TA* °debt,. .Electimo.—Tbe October
elections (Pays the New Hasupshire Pa
triot) have resulted gloriously for"the
Democracy. The malts in Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, and lowa have litelnilly
broken the back of Black Republican
ism. The immense Democratic ;sins
show that the popular current - sets
strongly in our favor—so strongly.that
it cannot be stayed until it sweeps from
existence the pestilent isms which
threatened the perpetuity of the Union.
Heavy Failtuv.--Oar exchanges are
unanimous in the opinion that the
heaviest failure of this great season of
failures occurred on Tuesday the 18th,
when the firm of Wu.Mor t Co. made a
dead break. Wilmot & Co. were ex
tensive dealers in wool, and the sudden
decline in that commodity has ruined
them.
imirlt is said tbst Gov. Walker, of
Kansas, is to be removed—reason, going
beyond his authority in setting sakie
some elections return*.
Barnynr, the serene highness of
-buOugs, is again on his leg : The
Stamford Advocate announces " with
pleosure the probable fact that to-day
he is a richer man than he was before
his connection with the Jerome Clock
Company. It is said that he has bought
ail the claims against himself, for from
five to twonty-five cents on the dollar,
with the exception of 115,000 held in
and about Danbury, which he will
probably have to pay in full. The
whole of the vast property assigned by
him for the benefit of his creditors has
again passed into his hands, and bo is
now re-tarnishing and refitting Iranistan
in good style for his future permanent
residence." We know of nobody who
will be very sorry to hear this news.
Barnum is a printer by trade, not a
ckockmaker.
Mutations of Ilytde.—Lord Over
stone, a distinguished English financier
and legislator, graphically describes the
mutations of trade. The state of busi
ness, he says, "revolves apparently in
an established cycle. First, we find it
in a state of quiescence—next improve
ment—growing contidenco—prosp43ri
ty--imeivament—over tra,tling--96nvul

our contemporaries of the press are
cautioning their raiders to beware of
the oounterfeit notes that are in circu
lation in all parts of the oountry.l—
the difference between the coun
terfeits and the "genuine?" Both
" promise to pay," but neither do pay.
They are alike worthless.
Rather Severe.—A letter addressed to
" the Church God," at Portland, Me.,
some years ago, was returned to the
General Post Office with the endorse
ment, "Misdirected—we have nothing
but sectarian Churches in this place."

the result of the election is the rebuke
received by the party and the individ
ual members that passed the iniquitous
bill for the axle of the Main Line. The
Opposition with scarcely an exception
espoused the bill as a good card that
would tell upot the eleetioii. This bill
we strenuously- opposed while distinct
ly declaring that opposition to an un
constitutional bill, did not mean oppo
sition to a sale upon fair terms; and
we cheerfully acquiesced in the decis
ion of the Supreme Court, which gave
the Pennsylvania Railroad possession,
expressing an earnest desire that it
would redound well to alleoacerned. But
how the Republicans bartered away the
sovereignty of the State for a trivial
consideration, how the Supreme Court
was compelled to interpose its authori
ty between a venal Legislature and the
offended law, is fresh in the recollection
of everybody. It, seems that the vo
ters of the State kept the matter fresh
in their memories when they came to
cast their suffrages at the kite election.
—Not only has the party that boastful
ly took the credit and the responsibili
ty of this bill, been defeated most sig
nal] y , but the instances of individual
retribution are too marked and decided
to escape notice. 1
In looking over the vote on the final
passage of the bill for the sale of. the
Main Line, we see that the following
named Democrats voted with the Oppo
sition, and by their votes secured the
passage of the bill, ,viz : Ifessra. Back
us Campbell, Hancock, Johnson, Lebo,
Manear, Mangle, Tobin, Vail and Wag
onseller. None Of these members have
been' re-elected.
Of the Democrats who voted against
the measure a very fair proportion have
been returned to the next Rouse of
Representatives. Messrs. Arthur Cal
houn, Longakor, Nunnemacher, Ram
sey, (Philadelphia) Geo. N. Smith,
Westbrook and Wharton all voted
against the bill from first to fast, and
have been re-elected bylargoly increased
majorities, and there are probably sev
eral others whose, names we are unable
to recall. We are not aware of the de
feat of a single man who opposed the
bill, and who was a candidate for re
election.
When we look at the ranks of the
apposition we see a very different re
cord. The popular verdict of condem
nation has stricken down sonic of those
who were foremost in engineering that
measure through the House—the lend
ers who did the deed with a swagger,
as if they held the destinies of the State
is their hands, and were sure of an ap
proving constituency to back them.
Messrs. Bishop, Dock and Thorne of
Philadelphia, Dickey, Penrose and
Vickers of Chester, and Cleaver of Del
aware, were all candidates for re-elec
tion--all resided in districts where the
Opposition have heretofore bad a ma
jority, and have all been largely defeat
ed. Of all the members who voted for
the passageof the bill for the sale of
the 3lmine, but two or tbree have
been returned to the next house of Rep
resentatives.
There is something retributive in
this. It is a lesson that these recreant
members can read to their own profit.
It is an example to warn others against
their fate. Whatever opinion the peo
ple may hold on the abstract question
of a sale of the public) works, it is very
clear that they are not in favor of sell
ing the power of the State to levy tax
es fur a price, nor to barter State sov
ereignty lbr a paltry consideration.
We have now done with this subject
and the past.—ffarriseturg Patriot.
siirTho defeat of Mr. Mussa.ma '5, in
this county, is another example of the
retribution which the Patriot alludes to.
The people kenorally right themselves
with the first opportunity.
