THE MEssAGE.--OPINIONS THE FISCAL
AGENT.-TEMPER OF CONGRESS.
The sentiments and tone Of the message seemto be
universally acceptable, excepting that portion which re-
lates to the currency. Upon this part there to
be no decision settled opiuionS WE'LL the President
hos done his duty, and all responsibility is hereafter de.
volved on Congress. fMr Clay desires the establish
ment oa fiscal agency, he has only to say the werd,
and can go into operation. The President pledged
hinsOlf in his last veto message to recommenda fuan-
cial scheme. He has presented plan for ons that
he deems adequate to the purposes Of the government
and which steers clear Of all constitutional difficulties.
IfClay and his parzans sincere in their profes.
sons they will take the administration project as the
best that be d. But il this shall be rejected the
administration will be able to manege the fiscal affairs
ofthe government under existing laws and that class

NATIONAL BANK AND REPEAL OF SUB TREASURY.
Mr.. Clay brought forward his resolution
for the repeal of the sub Treasury. 1t is OF the
mandatory order, and reads thus {:
ReSohed, that the act entitled an act 10 pro-
vide for the collection, safe keeping and dis.
bursemeni the public revenue ough, TO be forth
with repealed, 81 that the committee on finance
be directed TO report bill accordingly.
Mr.. Wright would oppose the resolution in
lis present shape; but if Mr.. Clay would so
modify il as 10 make it subject of inquiry into
the expediency of such a measure, he would
throw no impeachment in the way.
. MIR. Clay had no objection, and placed it at
once on the footing of an inquiry into the ex-
pediency of doing so.
Mr.. Calhoun expressed a great deal of
surprise that this measure was brought forward
at this time, particularly too when select
committee OF nine had just been appointed with
the express view Of taking the whole subject
of the currency into its consideration. 1t was
due to that body and to the country TO wait
until the sub Treasury system had fair trial.
or at least until some proper substitute had
been prepared Why not refer the matter to
the select committee, which covered all the
ground on the currency question?
Mr.. Clay would repeal the sub.Treasury if
there was no substitue-it had been over and
over condemned by large majority of the
American people. and should at once be re-
pealed. Mr.. Clay said tbore was no mystery,
no concealment about him--he went for the
Bank of the United States, and like an architect
about to commence his building, should remove
the rnbbish before it was undertaken. Wien
they had clean sheet Of paper before them,
they could write on it what would DO most
consonant with the public good.
Mr.. Calhoun could see The object-it was
a United States Baak-if the sub.Treasury
bill was repealed, that would be necessary
consequence; for it would be impossible then
to do without one. That was the reason whv.
in 1887, he had sustained the measure witch
was cow sought to be repealed, in opposition
to the opinions of some Of his best friends. -.

A MECHANIC.
The EASTERN SHORE.

There Is debt of gratitude d q from
the Western Shore Of Maryland. The
State OF Maryland has incurred an I'M
mense debt for the purpose OF carrying
on system of Internal Improvement,
which would be of direct benefit to the
Western Shore alone. # is ramifi d
through nearly the whole ex,e OF the
Western Shore, causing villages TO spring
up IN ev'ry part of the country. and ii
consequent extension OF bushes ahd in
crease of trade; whereas, the system ex-
ltnda mereiya few miles over the nor
lhern part of the Eastern Shore.
In the creation of this debt, and in the
extension Of this system, the two gieai
parties of this State went hand in hand
'ut when II becomes necessary To find
means ioI the liquidation of this debt, and
for sustaining the State credit, the then
minority, or Van Buren, party, in cow
ardly manner, shun the responsibility of

In this STATE of affairs. we find the Eas-
tern Sfo e, although pressed with taxes
levied upon her for the direct benefit o.
the Western Shore, nobly sustaining the
measures of Internal Improvement, which
have commenced here, and casting her
vote in most unequivocal manner for

THE RECENT ELECTIONS.

1t is "A matter If general congratula,ion
with the opposition press, that they have
been able To carry so'many Of the recent
elections. Under the existing circumslan-
ces, with President and Congress of the
same party, at swords points, and alb.
mel breaking up in quarrel, it is surpris-
ing that the Wings have been able to stand
their ground 50 well. What the o, ,posi-
tl"n have however, is but barren scep
tre.-They have some state &c vernmen.s,
some for one year, Others perhaps for
more,-but no Members of Congress, no
Federal Officer, nothing in short but the
barren sceptrc.

see things about as they are. The tone
oi Wing Committees and the Wing
Press is moderating, and "e are in gener-
al learning prudence, amid isas,el. No

are lost. The party on It's old principles

menIs Of power are within us as vigorous
