The New Orleans Louisianian of the 14th inst says: -We have been informed by a highly respectable merchant just arrived from Mississippi, of a successful attempt by the U. States Bank, to throw her post notes into circulation in that State, through an arrangement made for a loan of $5,000 000 on the stock of the Mississippi Union Bank, to be paid one half in the notes of that institution itself, and the other half in U. S. Post Notes"
OHIO-The Columbus Statesman of the 22d says, that it has "heard of no additional suspensions in Ohio, except the Urbana Bank and Dayton Bank The Cleveland Gazette pleads hard for the Ohio banks to hold up!"-The Cincinnati Republican of the 21st states, that "The Franklin and Clinton Banks of Columbus, and the Zanesville Banks, have not suspended yet - There is a statement in the Columbus Journal which says, that the Franklin Bank has addressed a circular to the stockholders upon the subject of winding up the concern."
POSTSCRIPT.
We had culled the preceding statements and statistics from our previous papers, when the Northern mail, due yesterday morning; but had not then arrived, was put into our hands at 1 o'clock. We find but few items of intelligence to add.
The N York Express states, that "A Convention of all the Banks was held (on Friday) evening, to consider on the Report and Resolutions passed at the great meeting of Merchants. Having been informed in confidence, of the proceedings, we are not at liberty to close them. They will be repeated to the meeting to be held to-morrow (Saturday) evening, at the any Hotel-which meeting will be one of the most important ever held in this city, as a period is now arriving of the deepest interest to the whole mercantile community. The account of the meeting to-morrow evening will be one of the greatest importance to all"
The N. York Post (of Saturday evening) quotes the stock of the Bank of the U. S. at from 76 to 75, and says "Stocks generally declined again to day North American Trust fell 4 per cent. Drafts on Philadelphia, 1, and $10,000 sold at 88; Ohio Life and Trust declined 1 per cent. Confidence in our banks remains unbroken, notwithstanding the insidious movements of a certain clique of reckless speculators and insolvents, who would desire to establish an irredeemable currency." The Journal of Commerce says the packet ship Garrick for Liverpool took out only $700-and that "specie was deposited yesterday in large sums, by the Brokers, on condition of some slight accommodation."

SUSPENSION BY THE NEW ORLEANS BANKS,
At a meeting of the Presidents of all the Banks in this City, held last evening, the following Preamble and Resolutions were unanimously passed:
Whereas, intelligence has been received of the suspension of specie payments by the Banks of the principal Northern cities; and whereas, the banks of the neighboring States are in a state of suspension-
Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, a suspension of specie payments by the Banks of Louisiana is invitable; and that therefore, the immediate adoption of such a measure is urgently called for by the best interests of the community.
Resolved, That it be recommended to the Banks to suspend specie paymen until the Northern Banks shall have resumed their payments in specie.
Resolred, That the rules and regulations of the Board of Presidents, in force during the late suspension of specie payments, be, and they are hereby revived, and monthly statements of the condition of the Banks be published.
Resolved, That the above resolutions be published in the Bee, the Bulletin, and Louisiana Courier.
L HERMANN, Sec'ry Board of Presidents.
The N. Intelligencer has republished a ridiculous article from a Virginia paper, asking why we do not apply the same language to the Bank of Virginia, as we do to the Pennsylvania Bank of the U S? Is there no difference in the cases, Messieurs? Who began the suspension-the Bank of Virginia or the Bank of the U. States? Who pressed the other into it? Was it not the B of Va. Which of these institutions was it, that by the gross abuse of its enormous power dragged not only the Bank of Virginia, but so many other institutions with it, into the vortex of suspension?-These Whigs will stand by the Bank of the U S, or the Pennsylvania Bank of the U. S, or any thing that has the name, or attributes, or any thing like the name or attributes of their champions Bank of the U. S. Yet ask them what is their remedy -what they are for? They will not all of them throw off their mask? They ask you what you are for, and yet they shirk the question and try to conceal what they are for. Here is modesty for you, with a vengeance!
The "Virginia Times" is an exception. It comes out boldly for National Bank. "Who dare talk (says the Whig oracle) of a well regulated Bank System in absence of a U. S Bank"? And who dare talk of "regulating a National Bank"-or even of its "regulating the State Banks"? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who will regulate the Great Regulator? the 4th Estate in the Government? The great Money King? Look at the regulation and fate of its present prototype, in Philadelphia!
Another Sign-Identification of Ultra Conservatism and Whiggery.
The New York papers give us the Proceedings of a large meeting on Wednesday last at National Hall, the Head Quarters of the Conservatives-John Delameter in the Chair. The New York (Conservative) Times tells us, that "They convened for the purpose of receiving from their delegates to the Convention recently held at Syracuse, a report of the proceedings of that body. The spirited and eloquent resolutions adopted by that convention were read by Mr. Sanford with peculiar energy and effect, and the noble, patriotic, and truly conservative principles and sentiments which they expressed! called from the large auditory repeated and enthusiastic bursts of applause. The expressions of confidence in the patriotism, integrity, and Democratic Republican principles of the Hon. N. P. Tallmadge, were received with loud and long continued cheers The complimentary allusions to the Hon. Wm C. Rives, to the Hon. John C. Clark, and the Hon Hugh S Legare, severally, produced also the liveliest manifestations of applause. But when Mr. Sanford read with the most impressive earnestness the pledge of the Syracuse convention, of "uncompromising hostility to the re election of Martin Van Buren," the whole assemblage seemed united as one man-and to have but one mind "Uncompromising hostility to the re-election of Martin Van Buren" is thus the Chorus of both Whigs and N York Conservatives. What say ye, Conservatives of Virginia! Are you too willing to join in the battle cry? Or, will you not pause and ponder, before you go further?
The most distinguished Orator who addressed the meeting, was Mr. Legare, "the distinguished ex member of Congress, from Charleston." He spoke an hour and a half; and his oration seems to have been a complete tirade upon the Administration. "He called most earnestly (says the N Y Times) upon his fellow citizens not to be discouraged. In spite of all reverses, let this State but be true-let her declare that she will not have the administration of the Federal Government continued in the present corrupt and incompetent hands-and her voice will awaken the whole country "-Et tu Brute! -And what say ye to this, Messrs, Greiver and Smith, Delegates from Wythe and Russell? Will you lose caste with the Democratic party?-Can YOU join the mongrel Opposition, which thus boldly proclaims "uncompromising hostility to the re-election of Martin Van Buren?" We will not believe it?

The Milledgeville "Federal Union" of the 22d, gives "the vote of all the counties but two, which may be relied on as being correctly stated, and from which it appears that the Democratic candidate, Charles J. McDonald, has a majority of 1,165; to which the remaining
