77jc Suspension. We give some far
thcr particulars respecting the suspension
of specie piymcnts by the Banks. It ap
pears to be universally conceded, that the
U. S. Bank of Pennsylvania is the prime
cause and mover of the present suspension
Its enormous speculationsinCotton, Stoc
&c. has brought it to the verge of bank
rnntcv. and its Stock fell so low as 70
while its ordinary notes sold at 10 per cent
discount and its Post notes at 20 per cent
in New York. It is conjectured, that il
the New York banks are sustained by the
principal part of the Eastern banks, the
suspension will be of short duration. The
Exchange Ihnk of Virginia has also sus
o o
pended, having only held out a few day
after the others. We presume the suspen
sion will Jbe general, south and west o
Pennsylvania.
The Providence R. I. banks have final!
determined to suspend, fourteen vol in
for and four against it and two being divi
ded.
Several of the banks in Philadelphia are
Supplying; themselves with small notes
(under So) from the St itcs of Delaware and
New Jersey, where the prohibition of
small bills does not exist.
The suspension in Richmond, Va. above
notes Oi $5 has caused large draughts of
coin from the banks in exchange for all notes
of that description.
The Middletown (Connecticut) Sentinc
ot Wednesday says: All our information
from New x ork leads us to believe that
city will continue to maintain their intsi
rity; and with them the Banks generally
in New England. The people will sus
tain them in the honorable and praisewor
thy course of preserving the circulation
frefm depreciation.
The Trenton (N. J.) Banks , have not
suspended: they say they will continue to
pay specie as long as the public will sustain
them.

ted States Bank suspended, (pity but its
managers were suspended also,) of
course all other banks must follow suit, as
a natural consequence, being, each a linc
in the same rotten chain The "Sub Tr ea
sury," Jackson, Van Buren, "Tom Ben
ton and the devil," are the "wire work
ers' of course of these horrible catastro
phes so say the whigs and consequently
it must be so, possessing as they do, "all
the decency' and "wealth," combined
with "all the knowledge" -of "matters and
things in general," (to use the language of
a flown,) connected with the affairs of the
"New World."
The world's undone, of course the banks
are broke,
The wheels of Government clogg'd mut
cease to run;
The "Sub Treasury" will give a blow a
mortal stroke,
To "matters and things in general" beneath
the sun.
Ye farmers and nicchanics,'yc democratic
geese,
Tis all your doings (the whigs will get the

Renounce Van Buren, "Tom Benton and

And thereby for your good remove the

purpose of nominating a Governor.

Democratic Republican Convention.
At a meeting of the Democratic Members
of the General Assembly, it was decided to
recommend to the people that a Convention
be held to nominale a candidate for Gover
nor, and for other purposes connected with
the success of the Democratic party in
this State. This city was then thought to
be the most proper place, but it was unani
mously left to the Central Committee to
recommend the nlace and time at a future
day. We arc now authorized and request
edto state,that the Central Committee most
respectfully invite their fellow-citizens ot
the Democratic Republican party of North
Carolina to send Delegates to a Convention
to be held in the city of Raleigh, on the
8A January. 1S40. c trust that our
j '
political friends will yield their assent to
this arrangement, tor the sake ol unanimity
&. concert, and which seems to be the place
and time most congenial to the wishes of
a verv large portion of our friends. The
Eighth of January will bring with it many
pleasant recollections and patriotic associ-
ationsand comes, at a seasonable timcaflcr
the convention of the Federal Whiggcry in
this city. Ral. Stand.
Georgia. The returns .from this State
indicate that McDonald, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, is elected by 1500
to 2000 majority. These returns show a
Democratic gain of 1500 on the election
for Governor in 1837, when Gilmer, the
opposition candidate, was elected by about
700 majority. lb.
New Jersey Election. We have now
to add to the many recent triumphs of the
people over their federal oppressors, that
of New Jersey, where ihe returns of the
late election show a clear democratic
majority in the popular vote of near
2,000. Nothing can arrest the prog
ress of correct liberal principles.

while he was warming ins nanus ny mc

and rose and walked out of the store about
10 steps, when he fell upon the snow and
died in the course of a few moments.
When the prisoner was told that Davis
was dead, he exclaimed that he was a
damned hound "who ought to have been
dead 20 years ago. Davis offered no vio
lence whatever to the prisoner, nor did he
say anv thins more than simply to deny
the truth of the charges which Christmas
made against him he was a peaceahle

deeply regretted in the community in
which he lived.

Melancholy Occurence. A most heart
rending scene was exhibited on the 2Gih
ult. in the death of Nathan Massey, aged
1G months, son of Mr. John II. Bracken,
of this county. It appears that a small
chain, which was fastened to the wall in a
barn for the purpose of chaining a dog, had
been left with both ends attached to the
w ill so as to form a loop; it is supposed
that the child, in amusing himself with
the chain, had placed his neck within the
loop, and by some means lost his foothold,
which brought the chain so light across his
thro ilas to cause strangulation. When
discovered he was lying upon the ground
lifeless, near the chain, with the marks ot
its links deeply impressed on his ih.ro.-it.

seems to be doomed to the ravages of fire
and pestilence. Sickness is desolating its
dwellings, and they in turn are devoured
by conflagration: On the night of the 7th,
a fire broke out and consumed eleven
squares, containing about 500 houses, and
on the morning of the 9th, another occur
red which burned two hotels and two
banks. Thus have upwards of 200 fami
lies been deprived of their homes, and ma
ny of them been reduced to pinching want
and griping poverty. These fires have
been ascribed to incendiaries, and two
persons hive been arrested on suspicion.
The sickness ot Mobile will have doubt

Warren Superior Court. Our Supe
rior Court commenced its Fall Term on
Monday the 14th ins!., Judge Saunders pre
siding. Thomas II. Christmas, who was
indicted at the last Term for the murder of
Richard Davis, was tried and convicted
during the present Term. The evidence
against him was positive, and was so
clear and so strong in its character, as to
preclude all hope of his acquittal at the
hands of an upright and impartial jury.
The prisoner relied almost entirely upon
the plea of insanity, but failed in his attempt
to establish it by proof. We believe that
no man of the immense crowd who at
tended his trial, considered him deranged at.
the time when he committed the bloody
deed. He may have been partially de
prived of his reason, but if so even that
was Ihe result ot the ardent spirits which
he had drank in the course of the day.
According to the testimony of the witness

Mabry's Store, in Wanvn county, on the
10th of January last, it l eing a cold and

the prisoner returned, but he instantly com

against whom he was proved to have
made threats and to have indulged feelings
