their hands, we swe no possibility of its embarrassing the payment of their othor liabilities. The aggregate amount of loaus and discounts on personal security does not exceed the total capital of the banks. This is a fair limit, and exhibits a much stronger position in that department than the banks pf this State. We see nothing in the last report of these institutions calculated to alarm their ere- ditors, or to shake that confidence in them which has so long been extended. It matters. however, little how strong a banking institution may be, it cannot exist without a full share of public confidence. Its cir- culation may be based dollar for dollar, upon gold and silver, and its issues may be redeemed promptly, when- ever presented; but these are nothing without credit. It may have all the other elements of prosperity, and if it hath not credit, it is as sounding brass ; it has in fact no substance} the move ‘The annexed returns exhibit ment in the principal department of cach bank in the State of South Carolina, at four periods :— Bawxs or Sovrn CaRouna.

The bank of the State ex- hibits a large circulation, with a very limited amount of specie, the excess of issues being nearly a million of dollars. It is stated that this bank has in this city specie deposits amounting to more than two hundred thousand dollars, the proceeds of sales of sterling ex- change in this market. This sum would be of much ‘more use to the bank in its vaults than in Wall street, as the recent decline in the bullion on hand has left it completely at the merby of a few bill holders. In Feb- ruary, 1848, the amount of specie on hand was $190,- 802, and in March, only thirty days later, it had be- come reduced to $67,451, a decrease of $123,351. The demand for specie from this city upon the Charleston banks appears to have centered {entirely upon the Bank of the State, the others not having lost any of their bullion.

Endeavor to Humbug the Presidential Delegates. The manner in which legislation is conducted here, at this time, is enough almost to disgust a | calm observer with representative government.— Every thing is neglected, except that of President making. One might suppose that the entire busi- | ness of Congress was that of selecting a chief ma- | gistrate. Both parties seem equally engaged in the employment, although neither have legitimately any thing to do with it, It will become necessary for the people to teagh their senators and represen- | tatives the lesson which was taught at the close of President Monroe’s administration, when Congress undertook, in their different caucuses, to tell their | constituents who they should have for President ; the people put an end to their illegitimate combina- tions, and introduced the system of national con- ventions. What the politicians are not allowed to do direetly, they are now undertaking to do indi- reetly, viz: to control the agents of the people in ‘ling candidates for the Presidency. V fair play. Delegates are chosen from the dif- ferent States, well acquainted with the wishes of their constituents, and ready to carry them out; they no sooner arrive at Washington, their names are no sogner known there, than efforts are at once put in ojeration to influence their opinions and their votes. Letters are written, alleging the avail- ability of this, and the wantof popularity of that andidate ; the delegate from one section of the country is told of a very strange state of things’ in a remote part of the Union—his mind is confused, and he finds great difficulty in arriving at truth. Every contrivance is resorted to, to mislead the well meaning delegate. There is but one course for him to_pursue—to disregard all that he hears at or from Washington, to learn the wishes of his party in his own district, and to carry out their views by stedfast adherance. In this mode, and this alone, can the will of each party be fully ascertained and rly expresse The political atmosphere of Washington is c rupting and corrupted. The opinions of Senators and ecee who are endeavoring to make Presidents and to become Vice Presidents, Secre- taries, Foreign Ministers, &c., &c., should be wholly disregarded—they are not worth a rush— they are false and selfish. The very object of national conventions is not to learn the senti- ment at Washington, but to ascertain the wishes of each district, from the delegate who represents it, when he appearsin convention. The honor and. interests of the nation require that the views of the people should be ascertained, not of the poli- ticians who have accidentally obtained place. We say again, we are for fair play. Wasuinoton, May 15, 1848. Judge Woodbury’s Position on the Slavery Ques- tion—Secret History of the Matter. The letter of Hon. W. L. Yancey, of Alaba- ma, to the editor of the Alabama State Gazette, giving the views of Mr. Woodbury upon the subject of slavery in the territories, has ne- cessarily excited much attention. The doctrine advanced by Mr. Woodbury is prac tically, that slavery is not a subject of municipal re- gulation, but a natural right; since neither Con- gress or the people of a territory of the United States, are compesent to make regulations exclud- ing slayery from it before its admission into the Union. The manner in which Judge Woodbury’s views have been made public, is a subject of considera- ble enquiry. The facts are these—early in the winter, Hon. Mr. Inge, of Alabama, wale upon Mr. Woodbury, at his apartments, to obtain his yiews upon the slavery question. Judge Wood- bury did not write a letter giving his views upon the matter, but made a verbal statement of his opinions, which were written down by Mr. Inge, as he dictated them, and forwarded to Hon. Mr. Yancey, inthe form of a letter, from Mr. Inge. ‘This is the letter to. which Mr. Yancey alludes as being in his possession, at the Alabama State con- vention, and which he ‘‘averred to be reliable au- thority,” iff reference to the opinions of Judge Woodbury. ¢ As the friendsof Mr. Buchanan and the friends of Gen, Cass have each endeavored to excite pub- lie feeling in favor of their paca candidate in that State, Mr. Yancey has been induced to come out publicly in opposition to the doctrines of those gentlemen, that the people of the {erritories are competent to decide w! hether they will tolerate or prohibit the institution, and advocate the doctrine that the slaveholder ‘is competent to carry his slaves wherever he chooses, into any of the terri- tories of the Union. : Irem.—There is but one step further; the slave- holder has a right to take his slaves into any State of the Union, and hold them, whether that State be free or not.

Nothing can be | attended to but their own fiscal affairs, or who is | to be the next President. | Mrs. Holdrup Steyega, (or Stephens) widow of | the late Commodore Stevens, died last night. She had been in bad health for some months previou: There is a current report that James K.

The late Baltimore Whig Convention—A Correc- tion of Error—General Taylor—Mr. Clay tidal The resolution of the whig State convention of Maryland, declaring Mr. Clay the first choice of the whigs ofethe State, which so as generally re- ferred to as a great triumph by his friends, was, it should be remembered, proposed by a -friend of Gen. Taylor, ex-Governor Pratt. When he of- fesed it, he deelared that he regarded and intend- ed it as “an empty compliment,” because he did not think Mr. Clay would receive fifty votes in the national convention. That clause of the resolu- tion was unanimously passed—all the Taylor wen voting for it. The struggle in the convention was on the second clause of the resolution, declaring Gen. Taylor the second choice of the whigs of | the State, and instructing the delegates, whenever they shall be convinced that the nomination, oF | Mr. Clay cannot be effected at any siage of the | proceedings in thé national venvention, to vote for fit and use their oer efforts to secure his nomi- nation. The friends of Mr. Clay—those who pre- fer defeat with him rather than victory with | another—strongly opposed this; their object beyng | to prevent any and every expression of jreference | for Gen.

There are uetive jealousies among’ the cliques, maining and countermining; but there is that discipline at the bottom which moves the whole phalanx forward at the tap of the drum. _ The abolition and the free territory spirit at the North must be cong liated—it cannot be eoerced The barnburners Wold the balance of power, and they know it. New York holds the Presidency um herhand. As goes the Empire State, so goes the Union. The Keystone is but an incident in the estimate. Her unchanging fidelity to. the regular ticket, general and local, has rendered her impo- tent, becauss she is counted upon as certain, any how. It requires no sacrifice to secure’ her constancy—and any sacrifice demanded of her she will cheerfully make. Her obedience makes it matter of absolute indifference whether her claims are regarded or disearded. In. any event, passive and obedient, and following the ery of democracy, she is to be trusted; and even if she should open her eyes and resolve upon mutiny, her disaffection will not affeet th generay result, if New York can be conciliated, The Key Stone isa mere high-sounding name with which she has been gulled, over and over, and with which she will be bamboozled yet onee more, She has not the balance of power. She has not that organization of disorganization which is now the commandifg advantage of New York. Her twen ight votes are not equal to the thirty-six of New York. x What then? New York is to be conciliated, even at the expense of Pennsylvania. Her assent to the tariff of "46 is a by-gone operation, paid for in the election of Mr. Dallas to the Vice-Pre- sideney, in the appointment of Mr. Buchanan to the State Department, and in various other offic conferred upon her cittzens. She has been amply compensated for that casting vote ; she must give way this time. New York must be conciliated— we mean the barnburners. ‘They cannot assent to the choice of Mr. Buchanan, for he has written a negro letter, bidding for the south; nor to Mr. Dallas, for he, too, has made his unpardo obeisance to the peculiar institution, outbidding his generous competitor. ‘They are, therefore, set aside ; nor can the Van Burens endorse the nomi- nation of Gen, ( for he, too, has written his letter for the South, and. has voted against the Wilmot proviso. Without tur- ther ceremony, therefore, we lay all these gentle- men upon the shelf. We regret it, but itis a work of necessity, and with all our regrets we lay them upon the shelf to dry; for we seriously believe, under present indications, that neither Mr. Bucha- nan nor Mr. Dallas, nor Gen. Cass, the most pro- minent of the trio, has a chance for the no- mination, One prominent Northern man yet remains, and Judge Woodbury is the individual. It was thought that he had written no letters on abolition, on your Wilmot provisoes, and your free terretory, and that, therefore, would be acceptable to New York, while his tree trade and sub-treasury propensities would adapt him to the climate of South. But it would appear from the sequel the Judge, too, has been playing for the South. Alas! alas! it would appear that the Judge has written an anti- Wilmot proviso letter to Alabama, and that, like Messrs, Buchanan, Dallas and Cass, Levi Woodbury, too,‘has his “little nigger und the fence,” his piccaninny Sambo hid away in the bushes. Father Ritchie gives the evidence of the letter in this morning’s Union; and unless disprov- ed, the Judge will not suit the barnburners, and the barnburners are to be appeased. What then, men and brethren, are we to do? We must make an expiation to the manes of Mar- tin Van Buren and Silas Wright. The candidates passed over are inadmissible to this concession. ‘heir “Vaultiny spoken and that f, ambition has o’erleapt itself, And fallen on t’other side.” What then? Quick! What's to be done? Listen. Mr. Polk, we will suppose, is uot very anxious about either Mr. Cass, Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Dallas, or Mr. Woodbury. He would have no ob- jay to Mr. Woodbury ; none, perhaps, to Mr. allas ; but we rather suspect he is_not extremely partial either to Mr. Buchanan or Mr. Cass. Nor do we suppose he desires or expects a re-nomina- tion, nor that he would refuse it, if tendered him. We believe he is more anxious to conciliate the barnburners, and to take care of his friends,Messrs. Marcy and Croswell, for the future. The nomi- nation of General William O. Butler, for the Pre- sidency, and John A. Dix for the Vice Presidepey, would satisfy him. There is another interest fayor of this ticket—an interest. which is closely allied with the barnburners—we mean the Blair and Rives people, which includes, incidentally, if not directly, such men as Col. Benton, Senator Allen, and John Van Buren and company, anticipate, therefore, that as in ISH, the two-third rule will be apphed, with the assent of the administration, by the approaching Baltimore convention; and we expect that asin IS#4, this rule will have the effect of ruling again all the old stagers off the track, every man of then; and that a ticket will be selected with an especial view of healing the breach in New York, either in th nomination of General Worth for the Presidenc' (though we apprehend he has come up rather too late) gr of some Southern military chieftain for President, and General John A. Dix for Vic ident. But for Mr. Dix’s votes on the provi- so, he would very likely get the first appointment; those votes, however, while they would operate against him in the South a andidate for Pr dens, will, with his nomination for Vice Preside secure the State of New York to the whole tic! ive it strength in all the North, apd not in th least degree endanger the democratic States in the South, Docror.
