It it simply because the bank note currency is falling further below par every day. The standard of value is always at par, and, there fore, our bankers and merchants, in stead of complaining of the dcarncss of specie, ought to exclaim against the degradation of the paper, in conse quence of the increased issue by those banks that never mean to redeem. It is gratifying to perceive that the attempt which was intended to degrade the credit of the Treasury, by the ab sorption of its means iu bauks, and the refusal to pay it in anr thing but de preciated notes, has "had the effect. through oi tne l reasury, to prove that any pa per- issued by the treasury is a better currency than the notes ol banksnot excepting a Bank of the U States' - Globe. This is now the plan of the adminis trationa treasury bank, and an issue of treasury notes.- These treasury notes wilt be precisely of the character with the paper money of the revolu tion issued by a government not sua ble by its creditors and claiming to be in its executive departments in all respects beyond the reach of the judi ciarv.
