As a matter of course, that sort of tactics will fail of its end. Had it been possible that it could succeed, it would have long since made Mr. Banks the Speaker.

Tue Day Star or American Freepos; or the Birth and Early Growth of Tolerationin the Province of Maryland. By (ieorge Lynn- Lachan Davis. Baltimore: Jobn Murphy &Co. Por sale by Col. Shillington This is an able compilation from valuable historical documents, conclusively proving that religious freedom, as secured by the first great charter of Maryland, given in 1632, was never violated by the Lords Proprietary. “Upon the banks of the St. Mary's, amid the wilderness of Americ, was planted that seed which has since become a tree of life tothe Nation, extending it: branches and casting its shadows across a whole continent. The rec- vords have been caretully searched No case of persecution occurred during the adminis- tration ef Goy. Calvert, from the foundation of the settlement of St. Mary’s, to the year 1647. His policy included the bumblest as well as the mest exalted; and his maxim was peace to all—proscriptionto none. Religious liberty was a vital part of the earliest com- mon law of the province.” Taking this as an initial point, Mr. Davis woes through the chronicles of the Province, and while fortifying his position by argument piled upon argument, he gives his readers a Slimpse of the members and general state of society, of the religion and legislation, of the life and manners of the men who worshipped in the wilderness, at the first rude altar of Liberty. The work abounds with historical facts, many of them relating to the ancestors of families now living around us, andeyen our professed “ American’’ friends will find much of interest in its pages.

Forney, Clerk of the House, intended absenting himseif from his duty in order that the choice of a tempo- rary or permanent Speaker might be forced upon that body, is, we are authorized to say, ai utterly inexcusable and ridiculous fabri- cation. Col. Forney not only never contem- templated such a step, but never heard it suggested until he arrived at the Capitol on Monday morning and found the rumor in cir- culation there. It is quite certain that no member of his own party ever for a moment entertained the idea of such an expedient, and we know enough of that gentleman him- self to declare that he never would lend him- self to any auch trick. WE SINCERELY TENDER Virginia Financial Affairs —We hear many complaints from large property holders in Virginia, that the dealers in stocks, &¢ , at the North, fail to appreciate Virginia securities of any and all sorts, at as high rates as they deserve. It strikes us that this fact, which, we know well, operates seriously against the Prosperity of the State, ie the result of the mirmanagement, wholly, of her Legislature when tinkering upon her financial affairs They permit some of the Virginia banks to issue notes payable (in specie) in out-of-the- way places, not to be reached by the person holding them under a journey requiring from three days to a week, and far off of any route over which a public carrier of bank notes and other valuables travels regularly. The fact that they are made redeemable at points which make them almost as worthless as notes of non-specie paying banks, being intentionally concealed from the casual observer by the fineness of the lettering in which tho informa- tion is printed on the notes. All banks man- aged after any such fashion are mere wild- cat institutions, designed to swindle the pub- lic, ard to fail when it may be profitable so to du By permitting their exister our bills, called and paid at cur desk their re Spertive amounts.

The price the Government is to pay for it is $24,000. t, the State authorities throw discredit on every honorably conducted and honest banking institution within her limit, and depreciate largely the value of her State stock:; the finances of the State being well known to commercial men to bo identified or linked with sme of her bank- ing institucions as well as her internal improve- ments. No other people in the Union are in a better pecuniary condition than the citizens of the Old Dominion, and the stocks and notes of ail ler honestly-conducted banks, as well as all stocks the interest of which the State guar antees to pay, should at this moment rate as high as any other six per centum stocks in the world. The interest of her citizens at large in this matter is sacrificed to that of lobbying financiers, for the most part on credit, hanging around the Legislatare, who should be driven away in double quick time.
