| OF the details may be Objectionable Some per-
haps should be omitted-some improved Inc
Senate committee have already modified them IN
some particulars. But there can be no pretence
that the principle of Mr.. Ewing's plan claims
any thing new, or surrenders any thing old AS
a substantive proposition, standing by tseli, we
say, il is perfectly constitutional. We do not
pretend that the assent of the States can make
thing constitutional which before was uncon-
slilulional. All we claim is, that Congress has
undisputed power to establish bank in this Dis
trict, and that the States have right, equally
ndsputable, TO establish banks within their Juris-
dictions No one is foolish enough 10 deny this,
after the power has been exercised and undis-
puted for forty years. To pronounce the prn-
ciple of Mr.. Ewing's project as unconstitutional,
therefore, is merely empty denuncatlon, map
plicable and unjustifable.
But the Enquirer comedies something. II
seems TO abandon the sub Treasury 10 its fate,
and even approaches the long-denounced, hall
way house, the State Bank system, which Mr..
Wise seems TO think the worst OF all. The
Enquirer admits that "a fiscal agency may be
established from Washington, through the sound,
specie-paying banks, or other agencies, located
al several points, which, with wise and we'll
guarded restrictions may answer all the purposes
Of the Treasury The Madisonan would be
inconsistent if il did not admit its belief in the
truth of this proposition. The columns of this
paper in 1878 will bear testimony that we
have spent much time and labor in endeavoring
TO prove it, But the President, in his message,
intimated that the State Bank Deposte system
was disapproved, and the Secretary ofihe Trea-
sury, and the Finance Committee Of the Senate,
have presented different propositions. Shall we
attempt TO sci up our humble opinions in opposi-
lion TO either? We have spread before our read
ers both the report Of Mr.. Ewing and that OF
Mr.. Clay. Ii remains for our friends in Con
gress TO adopt such plan as shall seem best cal
culated to succeed and to promote the great in
terests Of the country. We trust some satistac-
tory plan will be adopted, and we hope that all
branches Of the Government will, by proper con
cessions, so harmonse as to carry out the wishes
of the People. We are content TO leave the
whole matter to the wisdom of those whose du-
y il is TO act upon it, not doubling that their dis
creton and Cancellation will accomplish the great
objects we all have in view.

THE RICHMOND ENoUIRER-FIscAL

AGENT.
The Richmond Enquirer is growing exceed
ingly impudent, and on some points recently
has shown itself mendacious. Some time since
we published communication favoring the sub
scription Of the General Government 10 certain
State works, TO which we totally dissented in
the same paper in our editorial columns. The
Enquirer, however, put forth the most obnoxious
features of the communication, emitting the ed
torial disclaimer, and palmed upon its readers
the false pretence that such were the principles
of the Madisonian. Veg gave it time and oppor
tunity to correct the Misrepresentation. But it
doubtless served its purpose TO produce the false
impression, and il prefers it shall remain. In
this instance the Enquirer has fulfilled the pre-
diction of scripture, viz d" that in the latter
times some shall depart from the faith, giving
heed to seducng spirits and doctrines of devils );
speaking hes in hypocrisy, hdring their con
science scared wih hot iron"
In his last paper the editor has scrubbed long
editorial in favor Of a long session Of Congress,
in opposition to his Baltimore brother, and in
ridicule of the Treasury plan of Fiscal Agent,
affecting at the same time (most absurd pre-
sumpuon) TO be the organ, the adviser, and the
dictator Of the President, while he charges
want Of veracity and want Of dignity upon
his cabinet. He even intimates that the Madi-
sonian falsfes the views Of the President, and
undertakes TO deny that the President approves
of the general features Of the Treasury plan
Was impudence and vanity the like Of this, ever
equalled IN an opposition prnt1 We did not
say that the President approved all the sugges-
tons of the Treasury Department. we intended
to be understood as expressing our opinion
merely that the principle Of the plan was APP

But this by degrees, will wear away. The expurga-
ton OF the obnoxious detas-coming in aid OF
cancellation and compromise and the conviction that
efficient system must be established will, in the
end, command an adequate support.
For our part do not feel sufficiently conyersant
