ry,already begun with circumstances esofmoral destruction and wide spread ruin, scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous and be- nighted ages, and utterly insupportable by a civilized and enlightened people.

 It has constrained our fellow citizens, ta- ken captive by its wiles, to bear arms against their famlieS-to become the executioners of their friends and brethren-or to fall, themselves, by their own hands.

 They have excited domestic insurrections among us, and caused by their mcrciless rule of warfare, the destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

 In every stage of these evils, we have re- monstrated against their use as drink our repeated remonstrances have only been an- swered by their repeated use and conse. quent evils. A drink which is followed by consequences so direful in their character. is unworthy the use of free and enlighten- ed people.

 Nor have we been wanting in cautions to our fellow citizens we have warned them of the dangerous and destructive influence they are extending over our land. We have pointed to the peace, health and prosperity of those who use them not. We have ap- pealed to their native reason and even mag nanimty. We have conjured them by all the ties of kindred, philanthropy, and patri.

 They have been deaf to the voice of req. son and truth, and madly, persisted in their manufacture, sale, and use, to the destruction of the peace of society and Christianity among us. ,.

 Wemust, therefore, acquiesce in the neces- sity which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold all other medicines, good as medicine, bad as drink

 We, therefore, the friends of liberty and temperance, in Litchfeld county assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world, for the rectitude of our intentions, solemnly publish and declare, that the people of tho United States of right ought to discontinue and discourage the use of all intoxicating liquors as drink, and their use as such, ought every where to be discouraged and discontinued. And in support of these prin- ciples, and to the accomplishment of this ob- ject, with firm reliance on the aid of Di. vine Providence, we mutually pledge ourselres. to abstain from and discourage the use of aH i,- toricating drinks for eper:

 Bosacfs ofthe United States Bsnk-We have advices today confirming the report of yes- terday morning, that the Pennsylvania Bank of the United States had become the purcha- ser of it's own bonds, for the balance of six millions due to the government-or SO much of the amount as the Secretary of the Trea- sury is now prepared to dispose of. The bonds were purchased at par, and as the new Bank had stipulated to pay the govern ment at the rate of hundred and fifteen for every hundred dollars of the stock of the old Bank which it owned, it follows that Un- cle Sam, so far from losing any thing by this poor old broken Bank of the United States, has received PREMIUM of more than a million of dollars, in addition to interest and dividends! We trust, therefore, that the public ear will be no longer abused by the Treasury papers, in regard to tho inability of the Bank to meet its obligations

 It was intimated by us yesterday, that the terms of the purchase by the Bank of it's own bonds, were doubly advantageous-to the government, because of the reliet there- by furnished of its immediate pecuniary em- barrassments, and to the business affairs of the country, by the facilities which will be afforded for the negotiation of exchanges, at or with the different and distant points where the Bank is to make its payment. But this is not the only cause of qualification connec- ted with this transaction. If our informa- tion is correct, the Administration has at last met the Bank upon amicable and honorable terms, and the adjustment that has taken place may be regarded as an end of the con- troversy between the parties. The bank has not only fulfilled to the letter, ever and at all times, all its obligations to the govern ment, but has on all occasions manifested a willingness to grant extraordinary facilities to the government, when pressed in its pe- cuniary engagements. These services seem at length to have been appreciated and we have reason to believe that the fiaal settle ment has been made with feelings and upon 0li ilyo if0h ln f0 hrfh

 In this arrangement, as in all others con- nected with the management of the Bank of the United States, MT. Riddle has exhibited the strongest desire to contribute all his pow CT, and in the most effective manner, to the of the great financial interests of the country, irrespective of political feelings, and regardless ofthe fierce and bitter attacks that have been made upon him-but in re- gard to which he has never permitted him. self to be annoyed. The time will soon come when his services, and the consum- mate skill and ability with which he has ad- minisered the affairs both of the old and new Bank, will bc admitted and apprecia- ted by the intelligence of the whole coun- try And when the smoke of the battle has cleared away, many, very many people wilr look back in amaZement at their conduct in regard 10 NICHOLAS BIDDLE-a name which is destined to stand out in bold relief hereafter, as one of the ablest financfers of the age.-NsU- York Spec.
