MR.. RIVES.

The remarks of Mr.. Rives on his resolu-
tons, inquiring into tho fiscal arrangements of
the Treasury Department with the Bank of
the United States, have been published, and
are comprehensive to the simplest under
standings The most ordinary observers
must be familiar with the principles, by which
his course has been guided heretofore. The
American people, therefore, and especially
the Senator's own constituents, may judge
for themselves, if they will take that trouble,
of his present relation to his past history and
character.
Every organ and sewer Of abuse and defa-
nation, which are subject to the employment
of the Executive for the cheapest hire, are
opening their sluices upon Mr.. Rives, without
any restraint of decency or truth, or any ex-
ceptions or notifications in favor of justice.
"Let Mr.. Rives be destroyed" is the general
order from head quarters, and at the signal the
mercenary banditti rush blindly abroad in
search of their prey. "Let Mr.. Rives be
assassinated,' would be the word, if the Sub
as it was in barbarous times in Italy. To
assassinate his fair character is. however, un-
der present circumstances, all that dare be
attempted. This work, the official presses,
which were but lately swelling with panegy-
RIGS of Mr.. Rives' lofty, incorruptibIe and
patriotic character, have now begun, and they
have undertaken it with zeal as diabolical as
could be well expected for the pay which the
Executive is able to provide. The cowardly
assassins are ordered to their ignominious
work, not to subserve any high motive Of pub
lie interest, or of devotion to any popular prin-
ciple, but to revenge private griefs and parti
san chagrln. Mr.. Rives was not man to be
seduced-not man to be intimidated-not a
man to share tho guilt of total abandonment
Of principle, Of integrity, and of duty, for the
sake Of a revolutionary and disorganizing"
scheme, avowedly gotten up to " CANNON the
Wings NTH" He was too honest, too scru-
pulous, too unbending, too sincere in what he
protested, and too consistent in what he prac-
tised, to forget, Qixe the demagogues who
hoped to claim him as their coadiutor,) that
he had country to serre as well as party
to obey 1t is therefore the. most natural
thing in the world that these desperate and
disappointed persons should fear him, envy
him and hate him. Principle is no object
with them nor is pure life devoted to the
public service, nor indisputable Republican
consistency, when they obstruct the path of
their avarice and mad ambition.
Bcll, book and candle cannot keep them back,
When gold and silver beckon to come on
Like hlgh-waymen, as they are (of charac-
tcr) they assail their victim with faisehood and
rulfanly contumely, never for moment daring
10 Dide The issue of an argument or a candid
review oil facts. Hence we see the "by au-
thorlty" presses, with one hand Furnishing
their daggers in the air and the other extended
