Mr.. WRIGHT's WAREHoUsING SYSTEM
As the subject has been many years be-
fore Congress, we think it high time some
practical result should be effected through
legislation.
With the purpose Of presenting the subject
to the public consideration, we shall introduce
it by offering brief outline Of the British
Warchousing System, with extracts from the
British Tariff, and accompanied by an extract
from speech in Congress at the last session
made by an highly intelligent member from
N. York
THE WAREHoUsrNG system in Great Britain
is one of the great points Of their credit system
and should be so in this country. The Gus
toms revenue laws Of that nation are conceded
TO be the most perfect; ours are beyond ques-
ton the most imperfect--onerous and unjust to
the importer, and equally inconvenient to the
government. The evidence Of this imperfec-
ton is abundant in the records of the Trea-
sury Department, and in the Journals Of Con-
gress. A large portion Of the time Of both
Houses during the existence Of our govern
ment-has been occupied in the discussion Of
bills for relunding, or renting, or postponing
duties, every item Of which should have been
adjusted by the Commissioners Of the Gus
toms !" that is, by some branch of the Urea
sury Department.
Not to speak consciously, the wonder is
rather, where so much was to be done by
Congress, that more has not been omitted.
u IS wonder that while our foreign COM
merce uoint exports and imports) has grown
from nothing, or a mere trife, TO a sum Of
three hundred and twenty millions, that our
Legislation should have kept so near to this

We have been not little surprised at the
alacrity and exultation with which the sen,i-
ments Of one or two wing papers, approving
the untried expedient," have been caught up
and proclaimed by some Of our republican
friends. 1t seems to us evidence of bad
cause, to bring in enemies to its aid, whose
every other breath is gall and NORWOOD

porters. The Globe has quoted the Rich

Mr.. TALLMADGE

Addressed the Senate yesterday in speech
Of between two and three hours in length, in
favor Of the proposition submitted by Mr..
RIvEs, against the Sub-treasury scheme, and
the policy of collecting the public revenue ex-
clusively in gold and silver. His argument
was clear and conclusive, and enforced by
such facts, details and practical illustrations,
as rendered it to our mind perfectly rresisti-
Bile. As a parliamentary effort, it reflects
great credit upon himself, and the highest
honor upon the state he represents. Deeply,
vitality involved as New York is, in the de-
termination Of the question now. agitating Con-
gress, the position Of her representatives, calls
for their best and ablest exertions. The effort
of this gentleman is proud indication that
they will not be found wanting. This speech
comes home to the bosoms and business of
people, and will not fail to be felt and appre-
ciated by the constituents Of its able author.
Mr.. TALLMADoE stated fact, which
seems an insuperable objection TO the exac-
ton Of gold and silver exclusively, in pay
ment Of public dues By the returns of the
banks Of the city ofNew York just published,
they will be found in another column,) the
amount Of specie in the banks Of that city, is
declared to be IL or Is hundred thousand dol
lars. The merchants bonds which will be
extended by Congress, amount to some fue
millions. The question may be very signif-
cantly and seriously asked, where can the
merchants OF New York procure specie to that
amount7 1t is PROFESSIONALLY impossible 10
procure it.
This speech will be published at this Office
early next week in pamphlet form, and Mr..
RIvEs' also, for 80 per hundred.

From Tie Fail River Patriot.

From the Fail Rfvr Patriot
ITO dispense with Banks altogether is an idea
which seems to hare advocate; and to make our
selves wholly dependent upon those established by Fee
deral authority, deserves none !"
The above is from Mr. Van Buren's mes
sage to the Legislature of New York, in 1929;
they were has piems then, and we have no
reason to suppose that they have undergone
any change since or in fact, we knop they
have not, and appeal to his late message for
confirmation Of our statement. After recon-
mending to Congress the adoption of the plan
by which all Government receipts and dis
bursements shall be made in the legal cur
rency, Mr.. Van Buren, says:
It may indeed, be questioned, whether is not for
the interest Of the banks themselves that the govern
ment should not receive their paper They would be
conducted with more caution, and s01nder prhci-
Piles. BY using specie only in It's Transactions, the
Government would create demand for it, which would
to great extent prevent its expectation, and by keep
ing it in circulation, maintain broader and safer basis
for the paper currency That the banks would thus be
rendered sound, and the community safe,
cannot admit Of doubt"
What banks does Mr.. Van Buren, here re-
fer to, if not the State Banks and if ii is the
State Banks, how will this compare with
Loco Focoism Their motto is, destroy all
banks, either State or National, and do your
business with gold and silver; but Mr.. Van
Buren, is far from this he is in favor Of them
in limited numbers, and under proper restric-
tons. This is all that Mr. Van Buren, has
ever contended for, and is the same once adj
vocated by Daniel Webster.
