Such i state of affair a require the strictest iuvesti- d Ration, and then a thorough reformation of c >ur presont banking system. The banks pay n 10 attention whatever to the law regulating s< heir circulation, and this has been ono of the irime causes of the general suspension and ^ pressure oi inc times, Their circulation is jthribblo that authorize I by law. The IntUt* fj snco of these banks is great, and may deter jj tho Legislature from a thorough exposure p ind reformation. Shottld it not bo dono, we ,vill soon have bank failures instead of bank ^ mspeusions. The Legislature should require i forfeiture of their charter, when tho banks violate the law: they should ho punished for ^ nisoonduct as well as individuals There in ft slight improvement in money j matters just now, and prices are improving, but we think they nre only temporary.

In tho correspondence of tlio Charleston Courier, vrc find an accoUnlP^bf a recent luoCting of Democrats in the Hall of Representatives at tho State Capitol. Gov. H. V. Johnson presided-, and the Hon. A. H. Stepucus was tho Chairman of tlio Committce that offered tho resolutions apponded. The remarks of the President and tho resolutions ure commendable in matter and tone: Before taking hi* neat, the President made u very appropriate address to the Democracy, urgiug on them to be Jinn ii. their principles, and not to exult over their vanquished opponents, but, on tho contrary, to argue and urge them to give up their party strife under the name of Americans, for they must now feel satisfied that they nnnltl ix'fvmiiilixli nn ffind fnr thnmsu-dvoq or the country by keeping i.p in opposition to the Democratic party, tho only organized party in the country to 'whom the South could look for aid and assistance in preserving their rights under the Constitution and the Union. He urged the American party, in feeling thrills, to hur^r the hatchet and join i.mi i/enioerncy. ana tnus present n solid nml bold front to our Northern foes. Gov. Johnson was listened to with marked attention, and took his seat amidst rapturous applause. A Committee of three from each Congressional District was then appointed, to prepare business for the meeting, of which Committee the Hon. A. 11. Stephens was Chairman. After a short absence, they returned and reported the folj lowing resolutions, which were adopted wuii "ut a undenting voioc : Resolved^ That this meeting rc-afiirnis their approbation of and an ardent attachment to the principles of the Kansas and Nebraska Act, and of the Cincinnati Platform ir. relation thereto, and that in view of the state of affairs in Kansas; wo recur with especial emphasis, to the following resolutions of that platform : 1. Iteaolved, That claiming fellowship with and desiring the co-operation of all who regard the preservation of the Union under the Constitution as the paramount issue, and repudiating all sectional parties and platforms concerning domestic slavery whicn sock to embroil tho States and incite to treason and armed resistance to law in the Territories, and whoso avowed purposes, if consummated, must end in civil war and disunion, the Amoriean Democra oy rccoenitio and adopt the principles contained in the organic laws establishing the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska, ns cmbodying tho only sound and safe solution of the "slavery question" upon which the great national idea of tho people of this whole country can repose in its determined conservatism of the Union?non-intorferencc by Congress with slavery in State ami Territory, or in the Iiistrict of Columbia. 2. Tluit this wub the basis of the coniI promises of 1850?confirmed by both the j Dcjnocrntie and Whig parties in the National Conventions?ratified by the people in the election of 1852, and rightly applied to the organization of Territories in 1864. 5$. That by the uniform application of il.! . 1\ * ' 1 ? huh jjumocrntic principle to trio organization of Territories, and to tin admission of now States, with or without domestic slavery, us they may elect?the equal rights of nil the States will be preserved intact?the original compacts of tho Constitution maintained inviolate, and the perpetuity and expansion of this Cnion insured to its utmost - - J v?imvivj ui viuuiuvmut in |n-.nct: huu Harmony, every future American State that may he constituted or annexed, with a republican form of government. liesolocd, That we rocoguize the right of the people of nil the Territories, including Kansas and Nebraska, acting through 1110 logatly ami fuirly expressed will of n majority of actual resident*, and whenever tho nuitiber of their inhabitants justifies it, to form a Constitutiort, with or without do- | inefitio slavery, and be admitted into the Union upon terms of perfect equality with the other States. 2. Ami be it further Jlc.v>lvc<lt by meeting, that the principle* ami sentiments embodied and set forth in I'resident Jiuchannu's inaugural address, being in conformity with the nbovo and foregoing resolutions, meets our cordial approval, and his | general administration thus fur meets our like approval. il.

Our city in already beginning to swarm with strangers?including politicians from all sections of the country, discussing the prospeota nnd issues of the approaching Congress.

The impression is, that linancinl relief will lye tlio first subject for consideration?including,, of course, tho policy nnd morality of n bankrupt law. ^Next to this, will bo th?

The organization of the House of Representative is now an exoitinjr theme, and every day brings us new candidates for the various public honors to be conferred.-? The Speakership, I think, is nettled. 1 have not a doubt that Col. James L. Orr, oi oouin i;arouna, will do tno frpeoker of the thirty-fifth Congress. Noi only dooH . his personal popularity indicate. this, but his decided ability as a, presiding officer points him out us the owe to bo chosen Speaker. I have conversed with a great many Democrats from the North ns well uh the South, and 1 have heard but ono opinion expressed as to the prospects of Col.
