THE EXAMPLE OF FRANCE-RtNL
NOTEs--PuBLIC REyENUEs--BaNks
SUB-TREAsURIEs &C.

The leading advocates of the Sub-Treasu.
ry and hard money scheme, have constantly
referred the public to The example of France
for precedent, TO justify them, in perseverinr
in their plans. 1t is in France, say they,
where there is but one bank where there is
hard money currency; and where the &C.
.venment collects the entire revenues of the
country, and deals only in hard money.
But few days since, we referred to state
ment Of its condition, published by the Bank
Of France; by which there appeared to be
standing at the credit Of the government, ll2,-
100000 of francs; or more than twenty mil
lions Of dollars. This furnishes evidence that
the French government employs bank agency
in conducting its fiscal operations.
What will Mr.. Benton and others, who have
been such warm admirers Of the French sys-
tenn, say to the following extract Of letter
from the Minister of Finance 10 the Collector
Of Customs at Havre published in the Hayre
Journal of the 23d of February last. The
minister says:
My views are, that banks legally constituted, should
all those deyeopements and enjoy that success,
which shall enable them TO afford TO commerce aud IN
dusIy, the advantages contemplated by their instltu
lion. The public officers, SO far depends on them
will concur in promoting this md The Inspectors OF
the Finances authorised 10 reckon specie bank
notes which shall be presented, properly authenticated
will instruct those officers Who have any doubt 10
the correctness Of receiving bank notes"
The Government of France, directing its
officers to receive bank notes in payment of
the public dues and for what? 1" TO ENA-
BILE THEM TO AFFORD TO CON-
MERGE AND INDUSTRY THE AID
vANTAGES CONTEMPLATED BY
THEIR INSTITUTION" The French
nation is thus advancing from and abandoning
its system adopted in feudal times while we.
are retrogading and falling back upon that same
system What commentary upon the en-
lightened wisdom of Repubicanism and Re-
publican Government
France like England, has discovered, that
banks and joint stock companies are beneficial
to commerce and industry; notwithstanding
they are liable to become involved occasion
ally in temporary difficulties and, therefore,
those who are entrusted with the administra-
ton off the Government encourage and protect
them.
The following, from the Register Of the
Chamber Of Commerce of Paris, shows the
rapdty with which joint stock companies have
increased in France. .3.."

THE CONSERVATIVES PRESS.

The success of the press enlisted in their Ohe
Conservave'S) cause, must be regardc a3 favor
able omen for the early return Of confidence and
prosperity '-CiRH Ga=
1t is certainly a matter of congratulaion
that every day brings lie fresh evidences of
the rapid progress Of conservative" princi-
pies. Their success with the people is no
longer problematical. The CONSERVATIVE"
press is elated with encouragement and con-
fdence. Its spirit and iirmncss, and the con-
tinual accession to its strength, furnishes the
best illustration Of the growing popularity of
its cause. When the Madisonan was cs-
tablished in August last, we had several CO.
adlutors in the State of New York, two IN
Connecticut, one in Maryland, and two in
Virginia. Many of those in New York, who
put their hands TO the plough and went with
US for the first three months, looked back,
whether from motives Of official patronage,
or fear, we do not insinuate. We could but
regret the apostacy for the country's sake,
and pity il for their own. But if uncertain
friends have backsided, we have gained vol
field from high motive of principle and duty,
and who are, therefore, more to be relied upon
and arc calculated to be more useful. The
encouragement and support given to these
presses, and their increase, which IS the con-
sequence of their success, are very lair crl-
terions, though by no means certain ones, OF
the popularity of the cause. Thus, to show
that we are not so diminut!ve a squad as
some evil minded persons would represent u.s.
VIC will just enumerato the "ConserVanvc
papers now lying before us, and which VIC
have gathered from the last two mails. We
mention them, not as the whole "Conserva-
tive nress. for it is much more extended, but
as the number of papers of that class, which

severe illness, Isaac MckM expired yesterday
morning, meeting his fate with exemplary reSgna-

end for many days previous 10 its occurrence he
looked steadily at death as he drew near, step by
step, with that untlinching courage which quiet
conscience only can give, Feeling and knowing, as

duty, he looked forward without alarm, because he
looked backward without sellreproach His course
through life had been the same as his conduct in this
House where, am sure, he has not left, an unkind
