notes, or lend money, as given to the hank .
by the art of incorporation in the nature of j
distinct and separate franchise. The [
organization of the bank under the charter,
is its only franchise ; and all the functions,
which it may lawfully perforin afterwards, (
it possesses in common with natural per. j
sons. This remark is made with this j
qualification, that I do not deny that the j
franchise may be lost by a wilful abuse
of these functions. A hank might he- j
come a swindling establishment, in the |
manner of using its conceded powers. I
am satisfied that this bank has committed 1

1IW ?UW1 ,I.|V7V4V-...V?..V1.
There is no substantial provision in
the charter, requiring the bank to issue its i
notes as currency, i'y its organization,
it had the right to perform the functions
of a bank, namely, to receive money on j'
cicposite ; " to discount mercantile paper ;
to lend monev : and to issue its own or
other paper, in lieu ?>f notes discounted.;
In what way it should perform these different
functions could not he prescribed :
or indicated, hut must of necessity he left 1
to the discretion and judgment of the ,
Directors. I undertake to say, however, 1
that the notes of the bank are no more to be (
regarded as money than the notes of 'private '
Individuals, put into circulation as the rep- j
rcsentaiives of gold and silver. Both may !
circulate, and serve the purpose of money, i
upon the assurance that they can bo con- :
\erted into gold and silver, at the plea- j
sure of the holders. In strictness there .
is no other kind of e oney?that which a
debtor may compel his creditor to accept, '
and which a creditor can exact under a )
judgment of the Court?besides gold and i
silver. Paper will he estimated as up- j
preaching the value of money, more or
Jp less, according to the credit of the source j
\yhence it emanates. This in general i
will l?e settled by mcrcanntile sagacity,
public security, and the competition of
tree^trade."
" Besides these general views, arising
out of the legal character of hank paper,
other express provisions of the charter
may he resorted to, for the purpose of
shewing, that mere suspension cannot be
regarded as a cause of forfeiture. Indeed
it seems to ine such a conclusion is absolutely
negatived by the clauses to
which I allude.
"Take for instance the ftne already no.!
ticed, which restricts the bank from contracting
debts to a larger sum than three :
c* o J
times the amount of its capital. Tnis
does not confer in positive terms the right
to issue hills to three times the amount
ofits capital, hat if pre-supposes that the j
bank may do so without violating the le- i
gitimate principles upon which hanking .
institutions should he conducted ; and of |
course that it might be in a condition in
which it could not pay on demand all its
notes. jVow, is the offence producing 1
forfeiture to depend on the contingency
of a demand? A demand might not he
r i
made when the Bank had the largest al
* |
mount of debt outstanding and when in
fact the bank was most in default, but it
might be made when the bank had con- '
tracted its issues, and had fewest notes in
circulation. The fact of issuing, or c:wing
more than it could pay in coin, was
the cause of difficulty and default; and 1
yet this is allowed !?v the charter. And
can it he contend* d that the bank should
^ be punished for the consequence of an
authorized act ? This would be to give a
jrriviiege and jrunih its exercise. 1
? By the charter, faduro of the bank to
pay in specie, and even insolvency are j
contemplated, and spoken of without the
most.distant implication that such acts
would induce forfeit ire. The truth is
that a suspension of specie payments hy *
banks was no novel tiling when this char- 1
ter was granted ; and it was granted, cvi- I
dently on the supposition that the bank j
miffht susoend. and still retain its legal ex- ,
. I
. istence.
* A redundancy of depreciated paper
has been the great cause of suspension.
The legislation of the country, not of the
State alonf, but ol all the States, should 1
hear a share of the blame in producing
the disastrous state of affairs, which gave i
rise to the late suspension of, the banks.
The number of banks created by acts of
legislation, more than the excessive issues
of any one bank, in this State, has inflated
and deranged the currency."

Wilde, expressing the opinion of the Court,
said that the girl having made her election,
the only question was, whether she was competent
to do so. It did not seem clear that j
she was under fourteen Her appearance in-1

so much as of capacity. And the girl appearing
capable o? a sound choice, and having
exercised it, thp Court saw no reason tor interfering
with her decision. She was therefore
ordered to be discharged, and went her
ways with Mrs. Ticknor, much to the disappointment

weighed with ti?-? top, nine pounds and
four ounces. After being exposed 7 days

by Mr. Abel Gaudy, on the isinglas land

so profitably bv Pee Dec planters

It will be seen under our Congressional
bead that Mr. Calhoun has arranged him
self under the Repeal Flog. This we did
not expect. So outrageous a movement!
by men so respectable as Messrs. C'alhoun
Woodburv, Buchanan, &c. &c. proves
the importance of adding a clause to the
Federal Constitution prohibiting Congress
from passing a law violating the obligation
of contracts. The advocates of re.
peal must be satisfied that the constitutional
tribunal for passing upon the validity
of laws would again, as it has hitherto
done, decide a bank to be uu horized by
the constitution ; otherwise they could not
think of putting it down by other moans
thanarcsort to this tribunal. The Judiciary
is*the balance wheel of our system.
It lias hitherto been found abundantly
competent to regulate the action of the
system. Those who are of a different
opinion ought to move rather to
amend or abolish it, than by usurpation,
to transfer its powers to another department
of the Government. How anticonsolidationists

In addition to the many depredations
committed by the Catterpillar during the
last three or four years, there is now a
more formidable bug commencing his
ravages upon the gum trees for the last

titan a grain of wheat, having a broad flat

TnE Reward ofthe Husbandman.?
The editor ofthe Buffalo Commercial Ad- j
vertiser has come to the conclusion, from
an examination and comparison of the j
statements he has received relative to the
wheat harvest, which h now ended in the j
greater part of the country that there ca n j
be no doubt that assuming the product
of 1839 as the standard, the crop this year
w ill he found loss than an average one.
In this state it will fall olF at least one
third. In Ohio also there will he a deficiency
as compared with '39, though not
so great as in this state. Michigan and!
northern Indiana will probably show an j
excess. The middle and Southern States j
will about hold their own. Take the i
whole country and we doubt whether i
theie is now on hand any great surplus of j
bread stuffs. An immense quantity of!
wheat and flour has been brought |j into j
Buffalo this season, hut comparatively a
very small amount has reached New York
city. It has been stopped in transitu and
consumed.
The corn crop?one of great value and J
importance, controlling in no inconsidcr-1
able degree the market prices of other j1
products?promises exceedingly well. 1
On this point all parties agree. Potatoes,
there is no end of them. Late oats have '
done well, and of all other crops, except- 1
ing grass, which is decidedly short, it
may be said they are fair. The wheat
crop shows a slight falling off. as compared 1
with'39 and '40, and the stock of bread t
stuffs on hand is not large. Of corn and i
potatoes there now promises to be an excess.?
Other crops about medium.

The last accounts from Tallahassee

that place and its vicinity unabated. It
is said to defy nil remedies, and (here is
scarcely a family unattacked. The pestilence
is not confined to one region of
country, but spreadi ng through the whole
of Florida. A correspondent of the New

" The virulence of the fever is such I
that no mortal |MW;r can stay its ravages, j
and six houis generally suffice to carry off, c

more to be dreaded than the disease at j <

New Lights.?We understand that a
series of experiments are now being made
under the order of the Secretary of
the Trjea.surv, at the Treasury Buildings,
for the purpose of testing the production
of Larhuretted'Hydrogen Gas from the
bark of the silvery or w hite birch tree.?
As these experiments have been directed
with the view of introducing a better and
more economical light for the light-houses
on our coast, the subject nuy, perhaps,
he regarded as of high national importance,
and will doubtless he so considered
by the intellgence and liberal-minded
Secretary.
The method of manufacturing this gas
s, we understand an invention, of Mr.
Uopert Grant, of Maine. The birch
tree, from which the hark used in these experiments
is obtained, is found in abundance
in the Northern States, and upon
all.the mountaneous ridges throughout
the continent of North America. It
throws off a large quantity of fine carhuretted
hydrogen gas, upon the application
if a very low heat which gas requires to be
oassed through a few gallons of water ono
# ?
ly, to cleanse it from impurities. We
presume the attention of Congress will he
invited to this subject; and should the gas
je found to possess the qualities ascribed
to it by the inventor, wc hope to see the
House of Representatives illuininatedwith
this bri/liant and convenient light, in
