PHILADELPHIA, Oct. %.
Boston Beaten--There was quite stir in the early
part OF to-day among the sporting portion Of our
munty it was announced that the celebrated nag,
Boston, was to contend for purse against the South
ern horse John Blunt, and CHI. m. Fashion, by imp
Trustee, dam by Bonnets Blue, years DID, bred in
New Jersey, and entered by S. Laird on the Camden
and Philadelphia Course; bets were freely offered and
many of them taken of 800 to $l0 or in that pro-
portion, on Boston against the field. The interest
cited induced immense number of persons to cross
over the Delaware to Camden, and embark in the
most ready conveyance for the race course conse-
quently, from ten to one o'clock, continued line
to be seen on the road, in omnibusses filled in
side and the tops crowded, crammed into hacks
others into stages furniture cars, farm wagons dear
borns, carryalls, cabs, curricles, fish wagons and
even in coal wagons drawn by mules, were pressed
into the service and by the time that the bugle sound
ed from the judges stand larger concourse was upon
the ground than was assembled the course
The three nags were brought out, and apparently
each one in tip top order and ready for their work
At the zap of the drum they made pretty fa start,
Blunt leading of, Fashion close up, and Boston a
length or two in the Thus they moved of at
pretty smart rate, which gradually increased as
the blood warmed and by the time that they had en-
tered upon the second mile they were moving at a
tremendous rate in the same order they started but
with small gap between Blunt and he mare and
much increased gap between the mare and Boston,
the rider of the latter found his horse sullen and diff
cult to manage and resoited TO the whip to help him
out ofhis difficulty. 1t would not do, the horse would
not enter upon his work fairly, and by the time that
they We're half round the third mile, it was evident
Boston could not win the heat, and would have to
make up some of the gap to save his distance, for
which object the boy appeared to his utmost en-
deavors--but he could not come it, and although the
whip had entered some of the pores of his (Bostons)
skin, he caused his hackers to bleed much more freely
There was large amount of money changed hands,
and at great odds At the coming in he was full two
lengths outside the distance pole. Blunt took the,

To the Secretary Of the Treasury:
Under the caption of Exhibition of American
Manufactures" have recently read in the New York
Herald, the address of General Tallmadge, on "the
18th Anniversary of the American Institute" which
is replete with wholesome doctrine.
The General states that nnetenths of the importa-
tons into that city from France are on foreign account
and that almost the may be said of mportations
from Germany and Great Britain-all of which is
substantially true. And of what do those importa-
tons consist Are they mostly of oil shopkeepers
rotten haberdashery refuse fabrics which cannot be
sold at home, those rejected from stains, blotches
rents and gous, from being under measure, or too
narrow tender from time alkales or acids decayed
in fibre, otherwise defective. And stale teas dis
gorged upon us, with orders to sell without reserve
or regard to prolific raise money and disencumber
the domestic market. The amount of proceeds be il
mole or less, being much clear to the foreign ex-
porter, whilst the silver and gold is drained away to
exhaust the energies of BiddIed people2 The pro-
per response to this pregnant Inquiry does to
have been duly regarded by the orator, who argues
ably for the free trader. But can country of vast
expanse and sparse population whose productions are
mainly absorbed in fixed improvements [athough aug
menting wealth and prospective means] compete with
nations of limited territory which are over populous
and redundant of floating capital7 And if not, how
can it be expected that (under the disparity of cir
cunstances adverted which obviously exist between
the States of this Union and the countries alluded to-
we can compete against prohibtory "Corn Laws,
twenty fold duties upon tobacco, and impositons
virtually excluding other principal productions OF
our forests fisheries, and agrc ulture2 The SUPPOSE
ton that we can thus compete in wolves a palpable
absurdity
And, with reference to cotton, and other staples,
which are admitted by those nations on exactions
paratively moderate, although not convert to the
forty bale" theory, can readily perceive that not
only the duties imposed upon our raw materials by
foreign nations but when they are elaborated and re-
turned among us, all the excess from elaboration,
transportation, or otherwise, devoves upon, and is
actually paid by, our labor to the full extent of all
consumptions from importations of that character
The history of diplomacy upon this topic instruc-
lively points to our proper policy.
Was not Portugal impoverished, and made the an
cient ally, or in other words, tributary to England BY
the Methuen treaty." And are not our legislators
prompted by that example the indications above pre-
sened, with all humility and Difference to enact mea-
sures of retaliation and countervaling operations

WHAT WILL RE DONE2

Upon review Of the state Of parties in the present
Congress- it is manifest there is not the remotest pro-
liability that any Bank pass that body which will
receive the sanction of the President nor is to be
expected that any bill returned with his objections can
be carried by two-thrds of both Houses.
Mr.. Clay and his partisans demanded charter
which will authorize the Bank to establish branches
or agencies with authority to discount against the
consent Uf the States.
The President does not believe that Congress have
the power 10 create corporations in the States and he
believes that the authority to discount will constitute
the agency branch of the Bank q corporation with
in his view of the Constitution.
! We learn from Mr.. Bell and Mr.. Ewing that he be-
lieves that Congress may the local legislature of
the District, create Bank in the District, and au-
thorze the Bank to locate branches in the States ,cM
their consent, as the Legislature of Virginia may ere
Bank and authorize the Bank to locate branches
in other States, (New York for instance) with the
consent Of such State. But as in the case of vir-
ginia creating Bank with power to extend branches
into other States the branch would be created by tho
Bank, under the authority of the State within whose
limits may be located So in the the Bank pro-
posed to be created in the District of Columbia by
Congress, with authority 10 locate branches in the
States with the consent Of the States. The Congress
would act as a local Legislature. The branches
would be located not by Congress, but by the Bank,
and the branches could not locate hut by the consent
of the States which consent would be equivalent to
new act Of Incorporation.
Such was the compromise offered by the President,
and rejected by Mr. Clay, and Mr.. Cay's partsans in
Congress The President is known to have always
been opposed to Bank. This compromise, if /. had

SIR:
In your editorial leader of the eth ut Loaded
"THE MODIFIED SUB-TREASURY," you say
" We a0tA gtus our readers an EPITOME Of this
'ExcHEauER' plan, published in the Madisonian OF
the 18th ult.] and let them determine, If they can,
in 1ohat particular it is preferable to either Of the
Bank bills petoed by the President"
Would it not have been quite as we'll to have pub
lished the entire "PLAN," instead of the "EPITO
inasmuch as the "plan" would have occupied but hal,
column, while your "epitome" fills column an one
eighth!
Would it not have been quite as respectful to your
READERS, to have supposed that they could have COM
pretended the "pan," well as yourself, without the
aid Of your "epitome?" Would it not have been
quite ingenious to have let the pLAN" speak for
SELF instead of letting your epiome speak for it
beg leave most respectfully to say to your EPI-
TOME that it has either very essentially msconceived
the "Plan," or (unnentionally, no doubt perverted
il; as the epome" is quite much modification
of the "plan," as the "pIan is modification of the
sub-treasury."
You object, if rightly understand to the 18th pro-
vision of the Exchequer (relatng to the particular
mode of the "safe keeping of the public moneys be-
cause " Nis founded on the principle that all are
hepes; or that the best way to guard against roguery
is to set rogues to watch"
We shall not pretend to deny, that this s A very
grave and valid objection. But would not the same
objection lay against the eighth commandment
Thou shalt not steal? Is not this addressed by the in
spred lawgver, to all the world, through all time
and is it not equally founded the principle that all
men'-yea, and all women too-"are thieves7"
If we should surrender this essential and indBpen
sable provision for the SAFE KEEPING of the pub
lc moneys" We have but little doubt, that all the
advocates for National Bank would be heart and
particularly hand with us. But disposition, in this
particular, will not be found quite accommodating
as Bank This important provision never he
yieded-we may die In the siege, but can never
render.
You say in conclusion, that
1.-THE Erchequer plan presents objections similar to
those urged against the Sub-treasury.
First, that it is Government Bank-a perfect
union of the purse and sword.
Secondly, it increases the Executive patronage.
Thirdly, it will not aid in giving to the people
uniform currency and regulate the exchanges; and,
Fourthly like the Subtreasury, the expense will be
enormous"
We deny all your positions, and challenge you to
the proof We might safely rest our defence of the
"Exchequer plan" on the plan itself We dare you to
publish it. And if you dare not publish it, we may
fairly conclude that you have surrendered your OBJ
iections.
