PLAN OF THE SECRETARY OF THE
TREASURY

When every man had a financial scheme of his
own, It was no, to be expected, that that submit
ted by MIR. Ewing for the Administration, would,
in all ts details, command universal Appreciation
The Secretary OF the Treasury, no doubt, expected
that his scheme would undergo modifcat!ons-in
which the Administration would concur il the main
and leading features were preserved. We accord
Ingly hear from Washington, that It is proposed to
eXpunse from the plan the proposition relating 10
the Ain instrument, and that respecting the Dis,ri-
button Of the Public Lands. These are measures.
which j. is deemed best to act upon separately. Il
is also probable, that the Bank will be permitted to
deal in foreign oxchanges-as that may prevent the
export Of specie-and the limitation Of per cent.
will be enlarged tot.
With these and some other rining notifications,
we anticipate, nr the new Bank, the support Of Con-
gress and the Administration. Some Of the Wings

Of the States to the establishment, Of branches-on

ORGANS OF THE FREE TRADE
PRESS.

We notice that locofoco paper in New
York City utters most bitter denunciations a.
gainst the Wings for passing the Revenue Bill
declaring that it establishes principle OF
taxation upon foreign manufactures Imported
into this country as high as 80 per cent. Very
well. We like this principle much, touching
articles that need protection, while necessares
are free. We suppose the New York Editor
is not much out Of the way, for with the amend
ment to the Revenue bill, as we understand 1t,
and of which the aforesaid free trade editor
complains, actual duties, after the compromise
act ceases, may by law, be raised as high as
25 per cent & not interfere with the land bill,up
on such articles as may be specified. In ad-
dition to this, it is contemplated to levy the tax
upon the value of goods here instead of the
price paid for them abroad and also to exact
cash duties, which will make difference of D
per cent, in fact-thus giving US a protection
Of 80 per cent, as the n. Y. editor argues. To
this, we apprehend, even the Southern Wings
in Congress have assented.
And will not this he enough! Let us see,-
a yard of broadcloth worth 81 in England if
taxed % per cent, pays 81 duty upon its for
eign valuation-when it arrives here, its increa-
sed valuation, together with the cash system
makes the duty equal to 80 per cent-according
to the arguments of the opponents of protec-
tion-then the duty is SI,20 per yard upon
such cloth.
Another consideration. The Protection of
late upon woolens has been made of little a.
vail from the fact that a gross system fsmug-
Cling has been resoried to by the foreign i'm
porters, at New York, especially-by the men
who of late have raised such hue and cry of
no protection, in conjunction with the locofoco
party. Through the agency of the venal and
corrupt men who held Office in the custom
house at New York, an immense amount of
wooden goods have been brought into this
country, free of duty-even the duty exacted
by the compromise act. So gross had this
practice become that upon the accession of
Gen. Harrison to the Presidency, new officers
were appointed and committee sent on to ex-
anime into matters, and after three months
labor, they found that the laws had been most
wantonly violated and the country wofu!Iv
cheated, A stoppage to this conduct viii Cd.
crate At most favorably upon the wooden interests
of the nation
instead Of protection being abandoned. we
see the way opened for a judicious and who'll,
some protective Tariff -CaEsdonian.

notes, receive money on deposile, with offices or
agencies in the States having the privilege, with
out their assent, OF dealing in bills Of exchange
drawn in one State or Territory and made paya-
Bile 10 another STATE or Territory of the Union,
and in bills between The United States and for
eign States or Nations.
The President said he was then understood.
He requested Mr.. Webster particularly to COM
municate with the gentlemen who had waited
upon him that morning and to let them know
the conclusions to which they had come. He
also requested Mr. Ewing to aid in getting the
subject properly before Congress. He reques-
ted that they would take care not to commit
him by what they said to members of Congress
to any intention to dictate TO Congress. They
might express their confidence and belief that
such bill as had Just been agreed upon would
receive his sanction: but it should be as a mat
ter eff inference from his Veto Message and
his general views. He thought he might re-
quest that the measure should be put into the
hands of some friend Of his own upon whom
he could rely. Mr. Sergeant was named, and
he expressen himself satisfied that he should
have charge of it. He also expressed wish
to see the bill befoIe it was presented to the
House, if it could be so managed.
| then said, addressing myself to Messrs.
Webster and Ewing, that no time was to be
lost in communicating with gentlemen ofcon-
gress: that there was danger that Mr. Ewing's
bill would be taken up and reported to the House
Immediately after the biilwas sent back to the
Senate with the Presidents objections was
disposed of.
As the members of the Cabinet rose to de-
part, or just before, the President requested
Messrs. Webster and Ewing, as they turned
their attention more particularly 10 the subject,
to furnish him with written arguments upon
the points they had been discussing. He
wanted them to fortify his own opinion, and to
lay up for future reference. JOHN BELL.

been an increased confidence in our public
securities, which for some time past have been
sadly depressed, lower than ever before. A
collision with England would, of course, de-
stroy all confidence, and prove destructive be.
yond measure. Asit is, there is no sale for
American securities in England, and no con-
fidence in those which are good, for the rea-
son that some Of tine securities have turned out
badly.
The political news from England is not
important, except so far as relates TO the change
of Administration and Ministry. The estab-
lishment of the alliance, however, between
France and England, is the subject of much
congratulation, and new promise of peace
With France and England alienated, all Eu.
rome must have been disturbed.
The cotton market has not improved in con-
sequence of the news; and the flour market
has taken the back track to the old prices be-
fore the arrival of the Britannia some time
since. The supply of wheat and -four in the
United States will be most abundant for home
consumption, and for all probable demand
abroad. The surplus of last year is much
more than adequate to the deficiency Of the

NEW YORK. SEPTEMBER ls.

The news by the Great Western, upon the
whole, has had good effect in the city, as it
must have upon the country, and mainly for
the condition of things in reference to our for
eign relations. Throughout Europe the pre-
vailing belief was the certainty of peace
throughout the world Ii is good promise,
and nothing trust will disturb the pacific in
tentions of the different Governments. In ref
erence to England and the United States the
anticipations are all favorable. The new
Ministry, it is well understood, will be as favor
ably disposed as the old one, and probably
more so, for pacific adjustment of all existing
difficulties. You will have seen the allusion to
the Mcleod case in the debate between Mr..
KoERUcK and Lord PALMERsToN. The de.
bate is in the spirit of the feeling of the Brit
lsh Empire. as far as il can be judged of by
private and published correspondence and the
tone OF the British press. There are however
some exceptions to tins pacific feeling in Eng.
land as there are in the United States-about
as many in the one country as in the other.
In reference to Mcleod at home, I NAV
saw it is well understood that all excitement
is gradually dying away at the place OF impris.
onment, and upon the frontier. The recent
news from England will contribute much to
this result, and the management of these
vexed questions by our Government at Wash
ineton will contribute It's share also to the
prospect of peace.
The effect Of the news from England has
