Hie above extraordinary fact and conclusion are from the Carolina Tiuica. A public minister may do an act outside of hia diplomatic sphere that tnny reader hia oouilnuancc iu office unprofitable to tho people to whom accredited or by whom seut. Tills we do not deny. Rut that Mr Wright, in this in tniioe, hits been guilty of such an net, is orrtalnly an unwarrantable assumption. An immeuse gathering of evangelical theologians met at the capital of Prussia by devire of the King, to deliberate ou religious and moral reforms. Mr. Wright, among many other visitors, was present?perhaps by invitation, hot most likely from curiosity and sympathy. He was ea'led on for n speech?made one which gave high satisfaction, and expressly disclaimed any other than an individual character in thus doing. Where is tho harm?or how is he obnoxious to censure?

Absurd! The casein hand is equally so. Our government and itn rep rescnlutivcs have no cognisance of religion in anyway. And its officers may consult their |>er*otinl inclinations, we opine, in attending a Roman, Evangelicnl, or pagan temple, without public censure or charge of outraging the rights of religionists o' opposite views. Rom mist journals tiro too impertinent. Tell thousand wrongs may be inflicted upI on Protestant consciences, and ten thousand jirivi leges be denied, and yet your Tullcta and Tmth Tellers affirm all to be right, or maintain gratified silence. For instance, the Presidents of the United States mny have their courtesy tested by invitations to be present nt the annual awurds of premiums at Jesuit Colleges?thus giving cclat and celebrity to Catholic educational establishments?and it is veryright, nnd no Protectant can chirp under penalty of being assailed as illiberal; but should the Executive or a small foreign minister thus smile on heresy? presto, the rights ol Rom.in Catholics uro a sou lid, and the faithful are trumpeted to n defence!

PENNSYLVANIA ELHCTIflN. A few weeks ago we had occasion to notice and commend the soundness of certain resolutions adopted by the Democracy of Philadelphia prior to going into the recent election (or (Governor nnd other State officers in Pennsylvania. That election j is now over. Wilmot was the candidate of I (lack Republicanism, I'acker was the choice of the F ?emocracy, and llar.h.-hurat was united on by the Na- I tires. The result in figures is not definitely known, but suffice it to say, that tlio friends of Gen. Packer claim the result in his favor by a plurality ol forty thousand?beating both the opposition candidates I by s decisive major.ty. As n general index of tire ' State wv may instance Philadelphia city, where the j questions at issue between the North ami South '| were met with n squareness nud honesty gladden- I inc to the heart if * Southerner??- ?1"',"vallon j ' ?no subterfuge?n<> running North nod looking ( South?in short, no inducement to interweave fed- , eral issues to hood-wink the South with an idea of I < soundness having no existence. In tlutl city the prin- 1 ciples of the federal Constitution, and the utmnM ex actions ever made by Mr. Calhoun as insulting therefrom, have triumphed over the famous author ; of thu Wilmot proviso, after a thorough canvt.s* of 1 the State by himself and friends, by the following vot.-: Packer, Detn., 27.117; Wilmot, (Flack Iio- , publican, 9,G29; Hailchurst, K. N., 13,815?Icav- i ing I'uoKcr a clear majority of 3,093 over the oont- j biucd fanaticism for negroes and natives. Aud this ( is no less tt uc of Uio w hole State than of the metro- | politau city. The New York Journal o( Commerce, a paper 1 of tiigli character in stutcmauship, finance, and rig- ( id nnalysia of passing events, holds the following language uii the result of tin* election: "The result ol the election may be called n thorough ami emphatic indorsement of Mr. Buclianili'a Administration, lis New Haven Ivlter, r.url 1 tho Drtil Seott decision, and a decided Mli.nm'oii that the people of Pennsylvania do not repent the way they voted last fall. The large Democratic gam seems further t?> show that but for the lavi?h ' ?mployment of the Kansas fund in the Presidential 1 election, the vote for Mr. Fremont would probably < ' hnve been nearer what it now is for YVilniot, ami Mr. IJuchanan"'s majority would have been much ' larger.1' ^ The Philadelphia Pcnnsylvonmn say* of the , election: "This is no ordinary triumph. '1 lie whole eoun- i 1 try was looking to the remit in Pennsylvania The ' victory <<f last ycur was nttribuud to fraud and ' deception, and not to those feelings ol rev* retire and regard for Hie constitution which so < mphaticnlly 1 characterize the democracy of the Old Keystone 1 State.

It k i tremendooa power, that of iticrissiiigor diminishng the circulating medium ol the whole country, [t is a deep rcspous-bility, and demands sound diabetica and maeh wisdom in Its regulation. UnMuDltrlj there appears to be no unity of action, no controlling principle in the management Of this poorer, it is divided between fifty-live banks, each ictiug its own separate part, under the influence of 1 liferent npiuiuua nod different interests. Banks tit public institutions; they nre founded for (lie public good, and the duty of consulting the good of [he community in the use of their grmt p.jwrr la ! is sacred ns that of providing for their own safely. There k apparently no individual of sufficient influence to bring this heterogeneous mass to unity of ictioii in a crisis like the present, as wns Albeit Grallatin, whil?t he lived. The circulating medium of the city of New York lonsisu in the liabilities of her banks in the form of Icposibs and circulation. Their daily losua and liscounts increase or diminish these liabilities. As hose liabilities nrs greater or leas k money plenty ir scarce. They constitute the fund oat of which ill operations most be performed. Hunt's Merchants' Magazine contains table* of he weekly returns of ths banks of the city of New fork for the years 1855 and 1857, which furnish i complete view of their operations. They throw i flood of light on the present state of things. The , darn for January 3d, 1857, shows $104,00(1,000 A liabilities, with $11,172,000 in speeie. ? This varied very little from tin returns of the I in-ceding six mouths, and this state of things con- i n?.i i-- L_. _t.i ... _ - uucu ...... k1iic ninum', uui TV till a Slight IfndVtW} i o increased expansion, up to the 15th of August, n.c greatest expansion was on the 2d of May, when ; ho liabilities were $108,000,000, with $12,000,000 ! >f specie. The return <>f the 15tli of August shows M01,000,000 of liabilities, and $11,360,000 of I peclu. From this a rapid contraction commence J, he liabilities being reduced on the Gilt of Sep tern>er to $8,000,000, with $10,227,000 of specie. Here . he contraction ought to imro censed.

Was the like cter mown in tlte history of banking? 1 hare no hesiHtion iu saying it is the continued contraction of ho New Vol U bunks since the 5th of September, vitllout the slightest necessity, w hich has brought bout tlte present disastrous crisis.

Biddle wit* tingiiwuMly endeavoring o loroe Congress to grunt him n cliarUr. through j he dsuese he had it in his puvcr to inflict on the icuntry. In March of that year a committee o( th? norohatils and bank cm <>t Now Yotk informed dm that unless he changed hia coarse, and would igret* to their term*, wit ch were that the United isdtes Bank should cense to call on the other hanks or thirty days, hia course would be denounced at he adjourned incctins of the exchange. Mr. Bi idle, nt the last moment, Agreed to their crins, in consequence of which the country was mined tsU'ly relieved. Hut Mr. Ii^ddle was reckess enough when the thiity days expired, without he hhghest necessity, to call fur these balances, and live the screw another turn. 'a his produced an intense and unexpected pre*- | lure, for it was the New York undemanding that Mr. Iiiddtc should not again press them without tome show of necessity. This pressure he contitiled uoiit the adjournment of Congress in .July, when ho gave up the chase, and soon aiter extend- < d tho I. otis ot the bank from 47 to G3 millions. i There was nothing in that pnssurt to be comtared in severity to the present. It was wholly iwing to the unprincipled action of Mr. Biddle. i * Tho pressure of IH37 was wholly unlike the wesent. Daring n period ot great overtrade, a few London houses imprudently created au American lebt of tiftjr or sixty millions of dollars, by giving >ut their acceptances, to be met by other equally iclitiuus hills as they fell due. '111esc houses fell nto discredit, and informed their correspondents in America that the whole debt must be liquidated at nice, or they must become bankrupt. This was in M ?rch, when no remittances could bo made except n specie, which the t<anka were called upon to furnish The New York banks went on for something iver a month, when they found it impossible U* continue. They then suspended, and with them the whole country. There is nothing like it now, ss there is no foreigu demand for specie. Tho question now arises, what is the remedrf what is to be doncf Nothing eon lie plainer. The New York bonks must retrace their steps, nud ipeedily, or it will be too late. 'Jo ey should at ?t?oe ncrcase the circulating medium by expanding their hscounts some ten or fifteen millions of dollars. No >ther course will set the wheels in motion. Nathan ArrLKTO*.
