for if a man is not rich, he II stand no

It is worthy of remark thuU, whilst Gen

THE NEW YORK BANKS ANUSPE
CIE PAYMENTS.
The New York American ridicules tho
apprehension that has been expressed in
isome quarters of Philadelphia, in relation
to the possibility of a stoppage of specie
payments, ,,by tho. lianks ol IMew York
should a further export of specie take
place, . l'lie American adds" The truth
is, as has before been remarked in this pnpc
Lour Uaiiks and the whole, country have
much more specie than they want , -or pro
bably tails to their share. Stability of cur
rency here and elsewhere, will be produced
by a farther export of the precious metals
yV'may add that the croakers are, in nine
cases out of ten, the authors oi all the au.
surd rumors that are put into circulation
with regard to the money market, especially
those in ISew, lork who fur years past
have been engaged in a systematic effort to
decry and injure a leading liank of Phila
delphia. Thus, while tiic arrangement has
been in progress to secure a general resump
tion of specie payments on the loth of Jan
uary, the Journal of Commerce has con
jured up all sorts of difficulties, nnd made
predictions of the most disheartening char
actor. That print . was among the first to
assail Philadelphia when the suspension
took place, and now it appears anxious to
prevent' the success of any measure de
signed to assist..jesumptiju. . We cannot
understand conduct of tins description, tin
less w assign motives of the most unworthy
character. Philadelphia as a city has. no
hostility to New York on the contrary, is
disposed to act in a manly and brotherly
spirit: bill while such a malignant fechn
is manifested by certain of our neighbors
in relation to Philadelphia character, cred
and institutions, J. we cannot .expect to see
that absenceof jealousy and ill will so de
sirable to all disinterested rtiinds, and so
essential indeed to the common prosperity
