VOTE by BALLOT.

The Globe continues toins,ilt Congress and
the country, and even the trainers OF the Con-
stitution, by its repeated attacks on the vote
by ballot. II denominates that secret cote, or
uote in the dark. In the most important vote
to the whole country which Congress can
possibly he called on TO give, the Consttu-
ton declares expressly that, it shall be by
ballot In the event Of the election Of Pre-.
sident Of the United States devolving on the
House Of Representatives, the Constitution
says, it I" shall Immediately choose BY BAL
LoT," &c. So with the Senate in the event
of there being no election Of Vice Presi-
dent by the people, the Constitution says,
that body "shaH choose by baiiot." What
will the people think after this, Of the attempts
of the Globe and its supporters, to convey
the idea that, Representatives are too dis
honest to be allowed to choose an ordinary in
vestigating committee by ballot; but must do
it under the Executive lash Of piua uoce uote

SECURING THE PUBLIC MONEY.

The following resolutions were offered,
Yesterday, In the Senate, by Mr.. TALLMADoE.
They contain the principles on which sys.
TEN may be matured for the safe collection
and keeping Of the public revenue. II is
antagonistical to the Sub-treasury scheme,
which provides that the whole of the revenues
Of the country shall be kept as we'll as collect
ed, by individual agents Of the Executive, and
in currency exclusively metallic. Mr.. Tall
madge's proposition goes to prevent these
officers ever receiving any OF the revenue
collected, and places the kind Of money to
be received upon the basis Of the resolution
of 1916. Do we ask the people which plan
they will PREFER AS well might we ask them,
with which would they derosite their own
private money for safe keepng-individuals
or banks
Rcsoired, That sound specie paying banks ought
to be selected, under suitable regulations TO be pre-
scribed by law, for the keeping Of the public
money.
Rcsolred, That the payment Of the public revenue
ought TO be made in gold and silver or in the notes
Of sound specie paving banks, under suitable regu-
lation> to be prescribed by law.
Resoired, That such payments of the public reve-
nue. from customs and from lands ought TO be made,
as tar as practicable by deposes in the selected
banks, to the credit Of the Treasurer Of the United
States and The certificates of depo>te taken BY the
Collectors and Receivers as evidence oil such pay
ment.
Essoired That the selected banks, in considera-
lion of such depo>iles, ought TO perform, without
charge, the same duties to the Government in trans
terrng the public iuads and distributing the same in
payment of the public creditors, as were performed
by the late Bank OF the United States.

A Poutt SHIFT.

The advocates Of the Sub Treasury scheme and
the enemies OF The banks, are Obliged 10 10 de-
cepion, for The purpose OF mieadng the pnblic
mind and prejudicing them againstl Tie banks Ia a
speech of Mr.. Thomas, OF Maryland, published in
the Globe Of Tuesday night We find the following:
"Under the old deposte system collector. and other
public agents had loo easy 20 the pnhiIc
ney To this conclusion The public mind s rapidly
tending. and 10 be hoped that Congress will before
We ADJOURN, take care throw guards around the
public treasure"
What Is this hut an attempt, on the part OF Mr..
ihomas, 10 convey the idea To the country, that
under The old deposte system collectors and oiher
pubic agentS had access 10 the public money after It
had ben deposited by them in these banks at The
credit OF The Treasurer Of The Uni ed Siates7 Noa
dollar OF The money so deposited could be or ever
was touched, except warrants drawn by the Urea
| suIy Department. II was the public moneys that
these public agents were employed to collect, which
they had too easy to- while in their hands and
which they did moi choose to depose; not The money
deposited by them 10 the credit Of the Treasurer-
The banks had no control over those agents, and Of
course had nothing whatever To do with The public
money while in their hands or keeping. The Secre-
tary OF the Treasury his last report says, that 1t
is not 10 be expected that dollar Of the public mo-
ney deposited in The banks from 1888 To 1897 will BE-
lost while in addition TO the list OF numerous de-
falcations Of public agents, reported by him in
January last, that had taken place prior 10 October
previous he said, others have since occurred
Now, we ask which are the safest class Of deposi-
tories of the public money; the banks by which not
dollar is expected TO be lost the pnbic agents by
whom enormous losses have been experienced, by
Interpretations, while the public money was merely
passing through their bands between The public
debtors and The blnk>7 Yet the Sub-treasury advo-
Gates would hive the whole Of the public money
lef 10 the keeping Of this class Of drpredators!
We hope, with Mr.. Thomas that Congress, b.fore
il adjournS will throw guards around the pub
lie treasure, by adopting system that will provide
that none Of il shall 90 into The hands Of Executive
agents, such as COLLECTORS and RECEIVERS at all
bat that in all cases the public dues shall be deposit
ted in banks 10 be selected FIR the purpose under e-
gal restric ions This mode will etitctnav >ecure
the public money from being piliered by public
| agents.

Mr.. CLAY.

or all the arts practSed either by faint friends or
open adversaries OF any distinguished public man,
surely that is most disingenuous which attempts To
produce impression that he is not true to himself
This straasem is put in practice, we perceive, 10
prejudice in the West the weearned popularity of
HENRY CLAY and dim his just claims to political
eminence, by representing him as withdrawing, or
being about To ,cithdrap, his name as candidate Tor
the Presidency
So far from his Withdrawing his name from the
generous competition for the highest trust of the Re-
public there has never been moment, according TO
our inforpation from different quarters, when Mr.
GAYS name and political services were more ho-
nored and esteemed than at this very time. No one
we are very sure, can have any authority from him
TO circulate the story TO which we refer lf Mr.
Clay has any right to withdraw himself from the
place which he has so proudly occupied in the esti
nation OF his fellow citizens he has not done oS and
can have no intention to do it. The same may, we
have doubt, be said Of his distinguished friends,
the two other Wing statesmen whose names have
been placed before the people by their respective
friends. They all abide the will of the people
