There has been a considerable exhibition of ferocious gratification in some of the loco fo co papers, consequent upon the suspension of the United States Bank, just as though that event was to cover the country with blessings and benefits. Now, it is generally admitted,'" if .1.... i.-.-i i ,i..r. r.. I la:iK. illlil UuU UUl suvuiai uiiius iui iiiiiuciiai; nuina, een presented at the U S.

What then is the ground for rejoicing? Is it, that the banks and brokers of a rival State, have been able, by a consolidation of effort, to discredit and dishonor the institutions charter ed by the legislature, and owned and conducted by the citizens of Pennsylvania? Is it that the banks of New York, with less than four mil lions in their vaults, to sustain an immense cir culation of l.irge and small notes, have mana ged to draw nine trillions from the vaults of the hariks r thi S,at.c iu twenty days! These are, me gruw pr ine rejoicing oi tne locos; IIUI1, Wits 1UL UUlllg UU.UUUUa, Uliit ii'llly ly has been most injurious to the country for the last twehe vears, has been most in accordance with their policy and wishes. They have moreover, on this occasion, the pleasure of knowing that the greater part of the specie drawn from our State banks, was shipped at ! once to England, bv the New York brokers. Wonderful consistency in a party, winch al ways pretended such an anxious desire to keep the silver and gold of the nation from leaving our shores! The very measure which drained the institutions, which every principle of inter- lain, the infamous maneuvering which forced t them to suspend, and sent their specie abroad, a fiord ii, the highest gratification to these pa- triots! The banks of Pennsylvania had made eve- ftff bIrenglhen themselves, and went in to the resumption strong enough to carry it through triumphantly, had they been treated with a decpiit degree of lairncss. But if the people arc determined that the banks shall not exist, they have the means of carrying their wishes into effect, for these institutions are hilt jlf rraliiTPii nf li ritihlif Iw tVi oe. ..... . 1 tabiisned, and bv them sustained or destroyed would however, net be amiss to inquire in the first piacc, whether we can get along better without banks, even if properly conducted; . whether ihe poor, but industrious and enter- prizing, the mechanic and farmer, will be ben fitted by their destruction and above all, whether tho community are able, at once, tot pat tne amount aue the banks. The last consideration, though generally over looked by politicians of lho loco foco school, will soon, unless there is a cnange in tne poli cy, which has been pursued, force itself upon tho attention of the public. Tho people of Berk3 county owe ihe banks in this borough, i near c million of dollars; the circulation of these i banks does not amount to one-fourth that sum. Now. we should like some noisy loco foco poli tician orpditor, to inform tne people of the coun ty, how they are to raise $1,000,000, in order to settle off wilh the banks, and how many mer-1 chants, mechanics and farmers, would be ruin ed by the universal pressure which must ensue? After the amount in circulation had been paid into the banks, the remainder would be due in specie, and no one, but the man of large proper ty, and no delts, would be safe how many there are in this enviable condition, we shall not underiake to determine. But say they 'we do not expect th people to pay the banks.' This is exactly their doe trine. The banks are to be lenient to their debt ors, create no pressure, loan money to the busi ness community, keep up a circulating medium, and, at tho same time, for every dollar issued in paper, retain a dollar in specie in their vaults! Such is the absurd doctrine which, acted upon by the destructives, has brought the country to its present condition. From what we can learn, of the opinion of Stockholders of banks, they consider these in stitutions as. entirely in the hands of the legis lature; nor have they much either to hope or fear, at the hands of our rulers. The winding up of tho banks would give the stockholders possession of their money, and they might cer tainly find some more profitable and less preca rious mode of investing it, than in a business against which so much blind persecuiion is di rected. While the individual members of the loco foco party are glad to engage in banking and may be found in many cases to constitute a majority of a board of bank directors; still the parly find ihe cry against ihpso inilitutions an , excellent means to deceive and gull the igno rant, and will doubtless keep it up, (however injurious to the country.) so long aa it helps along ihw political scheme?. Tho people w ill then be called upon to say whether ihoy are willing lo sustain their State institutions, or, pay what lhey owo them, and wind them up. If they are to ba supported, tho legislature must at once repeat the penal laws in regard to sus pending, and permit (his evil until resumption would be safe and permanent. The next ques tion for their wisdom would then be, whether ve are to have small notes of other slates or those of our own banks for a circulation of this kind will inevitably take place. We believe the people (not the. politicians) without distinc tion of party, prefer,as a choico of evils the notes drthe'bapk?' located' among them,- as- di- minshing the danger otherwise to be apprehend ed from insolvent institutions and counterfeit notes. Whetherary will consent to do what policy requires, for the good of the public, re mains to be seen. On Tuesday of last week there was quite a stir in our vicinity relative to the Morris Canal any foreigners came into town in not a very pleasant humour, "blowing up" the Ca nal and all who had any thing to do with it at such a rate that our citizens became so fright ened they would not take the bills of that insti tution for a few days. After proper deliberation and enquiry, ihc following facts, which gave rise to the alarm, were elicited: To enable ihe Company to have the Canals, Locks, and In clined Planes enlarged at an early day for spring navigation, several hundred hands were em- j ployed at teveral points ihe "whole length of the line, although they laboured at great disad vantage, the frost being from two to three feet deep. At the commencement of the present month an agent was directed to proceed along the line to see what progress was made, and on his arrival at Easton he there learned that the Lehigh Canal would not probably be navigable to the Coal region until some time in June. On learning this fact the Morris Canal Company at once determined upon ceasing operations until the opening offspring, as they could then finish iheir enlargement bv the time the Lehigh " was navigable, and were then paying men 75 cents per day when in fact they could not earn 25. Under these circumstances the labourers were all discharged for the present except those en gaged on the Inclined Planes, which will be nearly completed by the time they again com mence widening the canal. These circum stances, in addition to ihe well known fact that that Company had extensive dealings with the U. S. Bank, caused a sudden panic with the people, but which has pretty much subsided, and the bills again taken at par, as they are as bills in the city. C-- ' v. .- i n Hj3 Any person having bills on that Bank, and indebted to the Editor ot this paper, can satis fy themselves as to our belief in the solvency of that Institution by making a lender of them in liquidation of their debts.

Some of the papers this morn ing contain what is called an extra frotn the ''office of the Advertiser, Buffalo, reb. 14, 4 o' clock,5' giving an account of the destruction o the Palls of Niagara. A slight glance at it wii convince any one that it is a hoax, and by no means a good one, got up by some witling who probably never saw tho Falls. We will point out a iew .ol the md leading to this conclu sion. 1st. The article was not wrilten, although purporting to have been, by the editor of the Buflalo Commercial Advertiser: we know his style too well. lie never deals in such infla ted, windy language as the account presents. 2d., The extra purports to be dated at Buf falo on Sunday evening at 4 o'clock, and it was received in this city hist evening: this could not be done. 3d. "Biddlo Tower and all the adjoining ground work had disappeared." Mr. Biddle never built a tower at the Falls.

Harrishurg, Feb. 17, 1S41. THE SENATE. This body, after the reception of petitions and reports from Standing Committees, procee ded to the all-entjrossinr subject, viz: The Banks. After being resolved in Committee of, the Whole on Mr. Spackman's resolutions, Mr. j Brown look the floor, and delivered himself of lis usual amount of radicalism. He repeated "or the fiftieth time that the United States Bank was a rotten concern mat 11 was uown, anu he hoped to Heaven it would stay down, &c. Indeed, a Hiranger on entering lliat body to-day, would have supposed that the question before ihe Senate, was one relating exclusively to the United Slates Bank, for I verily believe, in all his speech, Mr. B. did not at any timo refer to any thing else than the "monster" and her present situation. In a portion of his speech, he attempted to prove that uine-teniha of the citizens of Philadelphia, were anxious for the "winding up" ol the affairs of the United btates Bank, and lhat they would not be satufied un less measures for its overthrow were adopted by lho Legislature. Mr. Reed replied to tho remarks of Mr. Brown, in reference to the wihes of the citi zens of your city on this question, and to the proceedings of a meeting "of the yeomanry, s AMr. Brown termed them, in front of the btate House, last evening, I he debate was further continued by Messrs. Spackman, Gibbons, Sullivan, Headley and Cochran, when the committee rose. A motion was made that the committee have leave to sit gain to morrow, which was lost by a vote of 10 to 13. So the resolutions will come up on second reading to- morrow. A final vote will be had on them: in the Senate. I think. 011 Friday. In the House, the resolutions lelative to a settlement ef the accounts of the disbursers of public money on the Huntingdon Breach, pass ed a final reading by a vote of 45 to 37. The balance of the business was of a private na ture. Harrishurg, Feb. 13, 1341. THE SENATE. A motion was made in ihe Senate, to-day, by Mr. Pearson, to reconsider the vote on the bill to incorporate the York and Cumberland Rail Road Company, which was laid on the table for tho present. THE BANKS. The resolutions offered by Mr. Spackman, relative to the Banks, were taken up on second reading, when a debate ensued which lasted the balance of the day. The "fat and fleshy" Senator from Lehigh, Mr. Gibons, first took the floor, and with his giant arm, not intellect, dealt lurious blows on tne "monster, and tne banks of the smaller fry. His speech cost the State a good deal more than it was worth. Mr. Pear son replied to him, and in a very few'remarks, demolished all the savings of Mr. G. Mr. Brown then followed with a repetition ol his speech of yesterday, done up in a dish of some what more "froth and fury." Several other Senators took part in the discussion, when, at a late hour, the vote was had, and the resolu tions passed a second reading, by the following vote : Yeas Messrs. Barclay, Brooke, Brower, Case, Cochran, Ewing, Hiester, Killinger, Maclay, Mathers, Pearson, Reed. Spackman, Sterrett, Sullivan, Williams, Penrose (Speaker) -17. Nays Messrs.

A great number of petitions were presented on the usual subjects, most of which were for ihe issue of small notes by the Banks of this Commonwealth. A letter was presented from I nomas Bradford, accompanied by the annual report of the Inspectors of the Eastern Peni tentiary. Five hundred copies were ordered to be printed. Joel Dinsmore, the same who sent in peti tions last year, has been troubling the House again with his abominable doctrines. To-day Mr. Church presented a petition from him and a few others, praying the Legislature to abolish all laws which provide, for tho sanctity of tho Sabbath, and the punishment of blasphemers, accompanied hy a paper signed by Joel, deny ing the soundness of the doctrines of the report made lo the House last year, on his petition. A motion to refer the petition to the Commit tee on the Judiciary system, led to a lengthy debate which was finally ended, by tho adop tion, unanimously, of the following resolution, offered by Mr. Johnston, of Armstrong: Whereas, ihe opinion of the members of thia House, that to grant the prayer now before ihe House, of Joel Dinsmore and other of his in fidel associates, would destroy all individual happiness among men uproot our civil institu tions and introduce into our country all the horrors of anarchy, despotism, infidelity and crime : Therefore, Resolred, lhat the question of reference, together wilh tho petition, be indef initely postponed. A message was received from the Governor, in answer to the resolution passed a few days since, calling upon him for information, as to the probable amount of money that will be re ceived by tho state, on account of the taxes levied by the bill of last year. Tho Governor states that he is unable to give the insinuation, lhat ho stated in bis last annual message, that the amount would bo about 8(500,00 0, and he had sjneo that tim-p seen no reason to bhango his opinion.

State of tilings in Florida. During the debate in the House of Repress latives on Thursday, some despatches fro Florida were read, by the chairman of ihe com mittee on military affairs, from which we gath er the following certainly not unfavorable tie taila. j At Tampa, on the 2Gth of January, were n sembled 150 Indians, for emigration 10 in' them Micasukies and the rest Tallahassep. Among the latter was their principal chiif, Echo-Emathla. Runners had been sent to tp Micasukies, who professed ability to bring tn 50 or 60 of that tribe, and these were daily ex- 1 1 peeled. On the 25th of January a party of Scminolls came in from Pease Creekr number not me tioned. Echo-Emathla had promised that the remair der of his trioe would come in in two or th weeks, having sent runners inviting them meet him at Tampa. General Armistead et presses great confidence in Echo-Etnathft's ability and disposition to fulfil his promise, p vided there is no disappointment in the receS: of ihe money required for fulfilling the stipuk tions made by the general. J 1 In addition to the 150 at Tampa there w:a 32 at Key Biacayne, captured by Col. IiarnW in his first expedition lo tho everglades Tp whole 182 are to embark for Arkansas on tfca 15th instant. j A letter from Surgeon McCormick onumJr ates the Indians surrendered and captured ks follows: I At Tampa, 30: at Fort Clinch, 41, mvfcr Echo-Emathla; at Fort Annutilaga, 33, wti Tiger-Tail; at Key Biscayne, 30, captured y Col. Harney; at Fort ArmisteaU, 11; at Ffct King, 40; at Fort Clinch, 60; and some familu and individuals at other posts. This leti makes the whole number 249, of whom 80 90 are warriors. Besides these thore was tho parly,, various estimated at from 59 to 100, encountered b) Col. Rcilly, on their way to Tampa with a pass from General Armistead. Rumor also ascribori a second capture of 12, and a third of 115 to' Col. Harney. r Taking rumors and all into the account, it was presumed that about 500, men, women and chil dren, were or soon would be assembled at Tam pa for embarkation. It is stated also that moro Indians have been killed within the last eight months than in the two years previous. jV. Ir. Spectator. Correspondence of the Buffalo Com. Advertiser.
