I think of this as I thought of the dry-dock, gun-boat, restrictive anti-navy system of Mr. Jefferson. It cost the nation a terrible war J to be delivered of that, but the nation was ef fectually cured by its hydrophobia. The war was a drastic purge, but it effectually worked its cure. I fear our present bankruptcy will need a still more violent course of alteratives; but the cure will coine when the people are prepared to receive it. They are certainly not so now; they will most probably not be so during the remnant of my time of life. I hope you will live to witness and enjoy the convalescence. Forgive the freedom with which I have answered your letter, and believe me to be, with great respect, vour friend and servant. J. Q. ADAMS. .lo />' r ,?>,/> n? rt Purr fnr Ttrh ?

Elections for Congress.?The election of members to Congress takes place in North aro'ina to-morrow. In some ol the counties it Iras already taken place. A slip from the Faycttcville Observer, states that in Wayne county, Shepherd, the Whig candidate, received a m ijority of 31 over Mr. Mostly, his opponent; two precincts not heard from, which were expected to increase the majority. In 1833 the Van Buren majority in this county was 5'2G; in August last 383; in November 400. At the last Congressional election, l\Ir. Speight, (V. 3.) received in the whole district, composed of seven counties, a majority of 707. The IVhigs now seem conlhlent of success. In Maryland, where the elections are just over, no change has been made in the political character of the representation; hut the Whig vote was stronger in all the districts than at the lust election.' The returns for Member of ('engross fur Ed^ecomV, have been- received. The vote stood fo Wilson, (Vin Buren) 1187; for Stanley, (Whig) 77.?Ralirgh Standard.

Important Discovery.?A discovery ha? j been recently made, winch, as we understand, j is likely to prove of the greatest importance to the commerce of this country. A new ship ! channel has been found, leading over the bar into the Bay of New York. It lies to the east i of the channel hitherto known and used, and i not distant from the Long Island shore. It is j of commodious width, averaging about a qnari tcrofa mile, and saves three or four miles of j the distance. But the great advantages which ! it presents is, that it allows entrance and de- j i parture from the port, during the prevalence j j of winds, which now forbid either. In tern- J [ pestuous weather, when access by the channel i i hitherto used is impossible, vessels may enter ; j by the newly discovered one, and anchoring | ; in the Horse Shoe, the harbor formed by ' . Sandy Hook, Staten Island and the New .Ter- j 1 scy shore, may wait i:i safety for a piloj. The j j danger of an approach to our ports is thus j ' happily and greatly lessened. | It is singular that with such an immense j J commerce as is continually arriving and de- | ! parting, the existence of so commodious an j ! entrance should have remained unnoticed in ! our charts, and unknown to the most expe-' rienced navigators of our waters. \Y? have i been told, it is true, that some of the pilots pretended that they were acquainted with it, but i we are not inclined to give credit to this story.

The recent suspension of specie payments by the hanks of New York, Philadelphia. Bos ton and Baltimore, which cannot fail to tc come general throughout the United States, ? at-.t.y ,it iUinnre tvh:rh 1M3V. if mill jjri.'SCiUf U DIUIV. ut < - ? ??J , .. J, lie opinion be not led in a j roper direction, involve the most fatal and disasterous results. The country will shortly be divided into three great parties?one advocating the destruction of all banks, and the scheme of a currency .- olely metalic; and the second supporting the doctrine of a permanent incontrovertible paper system, and a third, urging the restoration of specie payments by the banks at the earliest possible period at which it can be effected, with the least injury to the public. Of these plans, the first is impracticable, and the ?econd would he ruinous to the industry, cap. ital, and morals of the country. The third is the only one that is both practicable and ex- < pedie.ut, and the one that calls for the u lited j energies of all the advocates of conservative princip'es andofallwlo res ects the rights . ?f industry, the rights of property, and the < aws of meal obligaticn. E detaining those sentiments, the advertiser proposes to publish j i semi-monthly journal, to he mainly devoted, < or the present, to the accomplishment of this ? jreatend; and he confidently relies upon the j jatronage of a large number of his follow cit- ; zlmis to sustain him in the ellbrt. All who\< initc with him in sentiment must be aware of ( he importance of prompt and energetic ac- < ion, and of the immediate and wide diffusion )f knowledge upon the principles of currency. J ignorance on this subject has brought us to )ar present bankrupt condition, and nothing | :an save us from deeper and more lasting dis- j ress, but the dissemination of the important j ruths *vh h r"ascn ard experience hive taught in reference to banking, currency and linance. The vast annual increase of the rooniod institutions of the United State?, and the intimate connection v\h:ch subfcistB between their financial operations and those of Europe, are becoming every day mere and more objects of interest, 011 both sides of the Atlantic. There were on the 1st of January, 1837, in the different states and territories of the Union, s x hundred and seventy-seven incorporated banks, having one hundred and forty-six brunches, dependent of one another, each of which issues notes, and consequently contributes towards tire mass of the paper currency, which will soon exclusively fill the entire channels of circulation; and it is evident that a knowledge of much of the statistical information which is connected with their expansions and cn'ractions would be highly beneficial to every section of our country, as well as to merchants and capitalists abroad. A knowledge, also, of the state of pecuniary allltirs in Great Britain,and on the continentof Europe, from which we have obtained bo many loans and to which we may again, after the resumption of speciepayment^ look for additional aid in the various enterprizes requiring capital, in which our different states hive embarked, would seem to be essential to all our raonied institutions and to a large body of our citizens _ and public men. Indeed, without abroad view of the condition of ihe currency in both quarters of the world all great financial enterprises must be conducted in tiie dark; and when this is the case, it is easy to perceive what disasters may follow in their train. In undertaking this work, the advertiser his no political party ends \o answer. Matter? which concern the happiness and well being of the whole community are of too h;gh importance to be made the sport of party warfare. Banking, currency, and finance belong to science, and not to party politics; but* nevertheless, where governments and legislatures so far forget what is due to science, and <i : J . c r?:? >? *?? luiuiiiiL niu iiii[)iui:fiii:i; ui JUICIXIJI HIT UllU uie .politicnl arena, it comports with the plan of this work to condemn their conduct and expose their ignorance whenever betrayed, let the offenders belong to whatever party they may. The editorial department of the pnbheation will be placed in competent hand*, and original communications maybe expected from several gentlemen who have studied financial subjects. As to selected matter, the publisher trusts there will be presented to the intelligent inquirer after truth a collection of statistical documents, historical records, and scientific arguments, which will be worth his pcnisal, as may be seen from the following table of proposed CONTENTS. 1. The Financial Register will contain the annual report of the Secretary of the Treasury on th? finances, and the Directors of the Mint on the coinage, and such parts of the President's Messages, and other public documents and acts of Congress as relates to the finances, banking, the currency, coinage, and collateral subjects. 2.
