but will also receive an increased share of public

lessly and independently such measures of public

A correspondent of the National Intelligen

"Mr. Badger is justly regarded as one of the
very ablest lawyers in the United States. He
ramly ever speaks longer than one hour on any

Ground for Rejoicing' !
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

day, (4th inst.) some oi the other banks would
j have had to take the lead in suspending, the
following day. it is moreover acknowledged,
even by that thoroughly destructive loco loco
paper, the Ledger, that ihis bank made every J
eltort to sustain the resumption ot specie pay
ments. 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

has been most injurious to the country for the
last twehe vears, has been most in accordance

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

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.

indebted to the Editor ot this paper, can satis

that Institution by making a lender of them in
liquidation of their debts. Jerscyman.

We anticipate the warm approbation of a great

In some cases, doubtless, choice has been difii

of the abundant materials before htm, it cannot

It is an old observation, that the head of i
Government usually shows how much wisdom
and discretion he possesses by the choice of

ing contain what is called an extra frotn the
''office of the Advertiser, Buffalo, reb. 14, 4 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. Some years
ago he caused to be built a stair case, on Goat
Island, leading down to lho Falls, which goes
by his name.
4th. "The water mado a subterranean pas
sage, and burst through the wall of Goat Isl
and." Absurd.
5th. "The hotel is gone. It is believed no
lives have been lost." Tho last clause is cor
rect there can have been no lives lost because
thero was no hotel to bo carried away. Tho
nearest hotel is the Clifton House, far below
the Falls.

Correspondence of the Inquirer cy Courier.
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,

THE HOUSE.
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.
