will resign their places or decline elections, TO
become fiscal lords. 1t will be the highest
place in the Union; the most splendid and pow
erful post 10 the Uuion, the Presidency only
excepted. You can depopuaie the two hou-
ses Of Congress with such offices-you can
pick and Gull The Union with such temptation.

be increased to iily milllons--a residence at
Washington-a power over COngTess-sala-

the new offices, and who can refuse themi Sir,
they will be eagerly, furiously, sought. The
incumben,s will be ponicians-old hacks
prostitutes worthy to grace the new political
Magddlen hospital, Of which they will be the
battered and worn out intimates.
Mr. B. secuted the whole idea Of this board
ornne directors at Washington city. Bad IN
itself this board was conceived for iraudu-
lent purpose-Gor fraud on the Constitution

The Senator from Pennsylvania Mr., Bu-
chanan7 is right in charaeterizng this propo-
sed Bank as q T, easury Bank. II Is Trea-

what s fiscal, but belonging TO the Treasury
II is from the latin adjective fScalts, and sig
pfiss belonging to the Treasury. FiSc Is
Treasury, from the same noun fscus. The
French sav fsque for Treasury. from the same
noun. Fiscus and fs6dias are from the Greek
phaskOs, and phaskalos. The primitive mean

or hamper basket. THIS is the primitive sense
the figurallye or aphOricsi sense Ia treasu-
ry; and belonging to the treasury; and the rea
son of this meta phoricnl sense ,s the, that an

several msn to carry it. This dig basket re-
