L?: farti afifiWr. The extensive and prosperous state ct vnr agriculture, tra le and m mufactures. previ jus to, and after the close of th-.

The monopoly of bank?, and the suspicion and loss engendered by irresponsible issues of notes, legalized by unconstitutional acts of assembly, did noi then exist confidence tend credit were not then imp lircd, and industry commanded a fturr reward. In the progressive, comfort and rapidly improving state of our country in them times, a few men of management and ambition, whose ruling passions are avarice and political rule, introduced and established a great increase of hunks throughout the western country, and the poisonev.s excrescence found a covering in the honest credulity of a number of our own citizens. Deception and cunning first started them, and the heedless upright citizen with surplus cash to vest in stock, was caught on the bahed hook of the old serpent. This nvstem of banking was no sooner fixed and completely in operation, than confidence and credit, the main pillars of our previous happiness, were banished and the agricultural, commercial and m mufactunng interests, were crushed or rhvalvzcd.

I will readily admit, the establishment of these numerous banks and their branches, ufibrded temporary relief to a fciv speculating politicians ; but they have drawn dawn distress and ruin upon the people at large.

Maine Bank failures.--The public mind continues much agitated and irritated at the failure of the Banks of Hallowcll and Augusta, Castne and Wiscasset, to redeem their bills with specie ; and they arc now at an average discount of 50 per cent, and all bills of banks below Portland are refused by many traders. These failures have occasioned much distress among the classes of citizens least able to bear it ; and have taught some severe lessons to all. Boston Centinel. From the Montrose Gazette May 20. Youthful heroism. On Monday last, as Rufus Gregory, eldest son of Samuel Gregory, Esq. of this town aged about 13 years, was out in the fields shooting squirrels, he saw bear not far off, making directly for him. As his gun was loaded only with small squirrel shot, to fire at it with them would have little or no effect. Instead of quickly leaving the

ground, a would naturally be expected from one of his age, he drew from

his pocket some rifle balls, instantly put them in his musket, and before the bear had reached him, he levelled bis piece at, and shot it to the heart MHS I ABE!!, ESPECTFLTLLV inform the Ealies of Vincennes and its vicinitv th . she h is opened a MILLINER'S SHOP, Next door above G.
