Ile passes a'on, ver life's troubled river with a grin on his face nd I believe he will smile till.his dying day. Hard times or easy times-money tight oi oney plenty-provisions high or provi.Jons ]on -rain or sunshine, it is all the same with Old Jolbface. His happy smile, his pleasant face, hit hopeful, philosophil mind drive hence all care le is wholly different to all that is convulsing so6ty; and be it "good, bad or indifferent," ii is ever passed by with a smile. 1 took up the evening paper. Old Jolli cc as sitting by the fire, smoking his blacke 'd I.t liae of , iiir . ihice, ii aminill the paper ; " forty failires dowin towi oday. " hlumph !" Morals are getting decidedly below par. ere is an account of another murder." " Likelv." And here's an interesting bit of scandal, Your friend Paddington has eloped with anothe ma's wi fe." - " Fool!" But what is the use of realin- the news tc him, while he is so wholly uneouneerned ? Tht irst panagraph of casualitie.< that I enn liuil anly draws from him amonosyllab'le eljalhtiol Md. of course, a grin. It is seldom that ht 4us. and when he does so it is only a sigh o yiipathy, and he .-niles while he sighs. Flverything is pleasant and lively about him e alhiws no one to have the bles wheni he i. uund, and has only to look at his good-nature uintenan~ce to ge rid of the most desperati cse of dspon~den~icy. Whrat at pheasant world this wudld be if w( lhad more of the gOOdl quali ties enitivatedl by d JIollifae--if we would try to be alway, ind, and contented and happy. And why may we not be happy as he '? It i: e warm sunshine of his smile that keeps th< hill of~ discontent, and unhappiness from hir cart. It is the influence of a buoyant, elastic pirit that throws aisidle the burden of care thal moid otherwise setLie upon lim and weigh lhit own with its heaviness. And not among th<~ lest of the promotives of his happiness are tite flers of kindlness and benevolence that b~los moi away downm in his soul, and emit an agreea be fraigramee upon all his words. May those flowers blossomn in our souls, too may the principles of a truthful and noble heuri eer be ours ; then, though disaster and troubh may meet us, amdi for a time cast their shiadow: upon our way, though we Rmay-bhe forced to ex. cange phlenty for poverty, the homne of luxur) fr one of penury, the heed of down for one o in, we shall ever find some in the worl wh<e wil hove uts, and many things, in alil conditions tat we cane love.

En. Any ] The Special Order-certain resolutiom relat ing to the baiks-was Called up, when MNlr. Me:nminger said t hat he had no doubt but I hat every member would feel sonewhat einbar rasscd when called upon to '-i - thebil -- wuar ne would have tosay woald infringe somewhat upon the action of-the banks; but he, and every member of tiis House, were here in a public capacity, clothed with the sovereignty of the State, and it was our duty to see that the State suffered no detriment from our handls. The State had passed laws, and now. calls for the execution of those laws. The firsL resolution, which was as follows: " That the issue of notes as currency is a privi lege granted t, the banks upon the injphicr c-.dition that they will redeem such notes with coin, at the pleasure of the holder; that the failure to perform this condition -justly forfeits th. privilege, and should deprive -the banks of the profits arising from such issues ; that the Act -i relation to suspension of specie payments simp*- contemplates such privation in the form of a p. nalty of five per cent. per annum upon the cir - lation of each suspended bank, and the. State s. uld insist ipon payment of the same, so long :,: the bunks shall continue to refuse paymie nt -n specie," states that the issue of banks no. i as a currency was a privilege granted to anks by the Legilature, upon cer tain complied conditions; that they should re deem such 31Lto with: coin at the pleasure of the. holder, and in case of fidlure'to do thi they .1 curred a prescribed penalty. Tie banks had reinsed to redeem their iA ith coin, and now the State insisted that the penmty sho~uld be.paid. Could it be said that there were~ ni evils arisi-g frma sspension? Aside fromn the po litical evils, there were moral evils, which cause us to shudder when we thought of them. The banks had issued promises to pay, which they refit-ed afterwards to redeem, and should thev nut be nu!e to suiffer for not fullilling their obligations? Shoulel we say to the ,nks that they were j'iilable in uch pre n we might with thesame con-i.tency say the same to outr muerchants aid other tradesmen, that they were justifiable in reluing to fallill their obligationss. These .-:pcn:sionS produced great evils upon the peopele of tie Souith. The prices or Cttun on111 rice were fixe,l in freign coulries. Before the .u.pension., these articlei brought fa'ir pri ee., buL alter, by a sort of nachiniery. the pri Ve were 1epresied in Europe, and the South would lo-c.nearly .0,00U,t)0 by Ihese silon sionis. \\ho had forged these chains upo:i us? Who wCee to bhlane for all this mnighty* iinjury, ? It was done by the bansks in New York. Theyi .u..pendu~l-d for a particulir purpose, ande still . kept thnat putrpo.--e up, for there is maore gob! at present ini New. York than huad beens for several yearus. lie would not .--ay that the b~anks of this State had beeLn coni~crned with these New York humks in bringing aijout this state of' Ithigs, but they were so connected with theiai ini busiiness transactions that when the former fell, outrs went with thenm. Did ;amy one wish to see the beanks of this State to bei djeendanit upon the New York banks? for one, lie wished to restrict amidlnamit them so as to ensuare a so ure and stable cur'rency. Lbret~ the act of 1%0t was passed, the banks when they suspsendled forfiei ted their charters, but .the Legi.-dature- considereua ' .'u iniach - 'luiate iremedy, anid therefore the at, ' 10t w'as passedl. TLuiat act never supmposed thiat bai,1 i wouldl never susp~end, but it wats intended to limit and re.strict the banks so, as to pr'c~'eve them fromn p;-onin jg hy a ru-pensionm. ui. 1e'n on intger t hen pros c~eh'-d teo givae a history of' t ie hsle~ genctially*~. A co'~ipaniy ofl lie n i- dhe!llnIar' prcuret a ebariertt't, awtl i. .ue nte s.

The banks are allowed to charge six per centt. for those exchanges of credits, so long as they wold redeem with coin, but when they refuscd to do that they should not profit by such sus pesion, and to secure this end the Act of 1840 was passed. Thejust method would be to make the banks pay the five per cent. to the bill holder, bnt.he ditlicuhy would be-to find them, as money wvas. conitinualty inm circulatiotn; the State, thte'refoire, required them to pay the five per <.dut. into the treasury. The Act, was just and proper, and should be ensforced. ft wvas ino anomtalouis proceeding to require suspenided banks to pay for suspending. (Lere Mr. M\emmsinger read the letter of' the British Ministry to the Bank of England, relatting to this mattecr.) The.Act of 184U legalizes suspen sn; the banks voluntarily aceepted the bill, anlwhsenthe have fallen under the penalties of' that Act, and have paid them, we are now asked to refund or remit the p~enahtlies of the bill. Mr. Memniinger then proceeded to notice thes second resolutiosn, which held that -the pafing out by the other banks of the notes of the sus pended banks instead of their own naotes, was a violation of the law, as the eff'ort was the issue of a depreciated currency. Mr. Memmninger's speech (which wvas a long one) was listened to with deep initerest, and we rgret our iaiiyt~a tfd eoeorra des Ieadvocatedl a reduction of' the ban'ks, adthat they, should not he permitted to issue notes for mnore than one-fourth their, capital and that fourth to be secured by State or city ~ bonds; if they-wishs 'to expand, "they should be compelled to deposit in buillion, dollar for -dej lar, for every onie they wished to send out. Mr. Gregg 'commenced his reply in.opp ion o the resolution, but had not conclude when the Committee rose. Pride usually accompanies promdtio.
