dits and pleasure, a sparkling gem. If any bank shall fail, Tor ten days after demand, to redeem the notes II has issted the just described, the bill declares perenptorly, with Firtnous and ho- nest irmness, ta the charter tf fine bank IS to be forfeited. We cali this sparkling gem. It shines brilliantly, in the midst of strong contrasts, like diamond set in jet.

 And here is another. If any bank officer shall, knowingly, issue larger amount of these notes iii the bIl allows, he is to be fined from S0OO to zVVV' -a most excellent provision. which will teach the officers that, however the state and the banks may be permitted to disregard the first principles of ho, nesty, it is, by means, intended that others shall follow in their ingorious footsteps,

 The unfortunate Bank of the United States IS eN- cluded from all participation in these privileges (D having already enjoyed many of such iaVors, that it is well nigh killed with kindness. Being now too much exhausted to suffer any further plucklng, It IS barely permitted to make as assignment of its empty vaults for the benefit of its creditors!

 Such is the revenue bill which, after many months deliberation, the wise men of Pennsylvania propose to pass. We do not to say that they or we can suggest better; but if the State has no remedy for

 its vast debts but increase them, and remedy for its appreciated and rredeemable currency but to de- preciate il more, there is solemn meaning, and too much proprey in the prsyer of their proclamations God save the Commonwealth.

 We would in conclusion, ask Jerseymen these mo- mentous questions:

 If the State of Pennsylvania goes thus increas- ing It's irredeemabe currency, and making things and worse, how long will it be before they get better.

 And if our banks continue to link their fortunes with those of Pennsylvania, how long will it be be- fore they get back specie payments, and the old fashioned system of paying their debts2
