BANK FORGERIES,

1t strikes US that in many cases of successful
Bank forgeries, the officers of the Banks them
selves-for consideration-may have lent their
aid to the knaves who have presented the
checks. If their bondsmen were made answer
able in all cases, we think there would be fewer
forged checks paid. We may be wrong; but
we think suspicion is no less a virtue in this
case, than charity. Read the following, and
Judge for yourselves:

Preparation Of some heavy forgeres in that city

1t would be an endless task, and as hopeless

ENGLISH OPINIONS OF THE PRESI-

While certain presses in our own country are
proclaiming JOAN TYLER ga traitor to the
party" what say the presses of England of his
craftsmanship and his patriotism ?-of his en-.
lightened regard for the rights of the British ma
ton, and of his high sense of duty as the Chief
Magistrate of the American Government?

THE MEssAeE-THE CURRENCY.

The Presidents Message. we are sorry to OBJ
serve, has been unequivocally condemned in
several places already. Never, perhaps, was a
document handled with more harshness by GER
tain editors In New York. The "Fiscal Agent"
particularly, Gall the details of which they have
supernaturally enough obtained, is the subject
of unmeasured abuse. Section by section they
have torn il to pieces, and have actually buckled
on their armor for another wordy war against
the Executive And all this is done before the
Message is loritten
Truly, il would be difficult thing to satisfy
the ultra men Of either party. If they condemn
an Executive document before it is written and
published, what are they likely to do afterwards
But seriously, are such political monomaniacs
worthy the notice of the President, whom they
wantonv SANDER, or the people whom they
strive by every device to deceive7 Will any
sensible man, Wing or Democrat, be surprised
or offended, if the President shall always regard
such desperate demagogues, of any party, with
Indifference and contempt2 If they denounce
a measure before they have any knowledge of
what it is he intends to propose it would be per-
other scheme than just the one they would die
tate themselves. And this would be impossible,
simply because the ultra presses on either side
demand their own peculiar favorite system or in
stitution.
Recent experience, it seems to US, should
have taught these irritable Solons that all their
denunciatory breath or ink expended on the Pre-
sident can have no effect whatever. Their OBJ
jections in advance, will hardly induce him to
blot single line nor will he be likely to add a
paragraph for their especial benefit. Having
borne the very worst things they could say Of
him, until they ceased from actual exhaustion,
it is not probable that the fear of new terrors
will bend him to their will.
But the case is different with the moderate
and well-meaning portion of the community
These, it is the Presidents duty to please, and
doubtless it is his intention always to exert HIM
self to that end. These, be their party appella-
tons what they may, have right to expect and
to demand such things of the Government as
they really need, and the Government has no
right to withhold them. But all things should
be done deliberately and wisely. If the Pres-
dent recommends such measures as he believes
a majority of the People stand in need Of, his
duty so far is discharged. If his enemies have
the power to prevent their enactment, and ex-
ercise it, he is not responsible for the consequent
ces involved in their defeat. But if they are
adopted, then he is accountable for their salutary
effect
We trust there will be more moderation in
Congress, than is exhibited by the ultra party
presses. .as.-

ceeded, we were to have President Of the people
not of party. - Bridgeport Farmer.
The ultra Wings say he s.has turned traitor"
but nevertheless the people will find that he is
their President, the denunciations of few ex-
travagant cliques to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
The strictly party men on both sides-those
whose aim is personal reward for vociferous
partisan warfare, and whose end is the punish
ment of defauters or the disgrace of official sta
tions-whether ultra Wings or ultra Democrats,
if their expectations of preferment are founded
merely on their political opinions, in place of
honesty and capacity, may designate the Presi-
dent by what term they please, but they
will certainly have reason to be convinced that
he intends to persist in his straight forward
course "without fear, favor or affection"
The President cannot please every body-he
does not expect it. But by guarding the Con-
stitution faithfully, and administering the laws
impartially during his term of service, he will
at all events discharge his duty, and thus ever
please the silent monitor in his own breast
Without an inaoard consciousness of having
done right, the applause of the world is of no
value. But if the Chief Magistrate of this
great country is governed solely by the dictates
of duty, guided by the landmarks of the wise
patriots of the Revolution, he WILL he must, in
the end, win the plaudits and confidence of all
honest citizens. Then what inducement is
there for the President to err wilfully?
He will not be the President of party, ex-
clusively, and the people will be convinced Of it.
That the men whom he may select to fill the va
rious offices within his gift will be identified
with some Of the political divisions that always
exist, is observation-disclosures almost every man
of intelligence, in Republic like ours, assumes
a party name and advocates certain measures.
But we have good cause to believe that his ia
vors will never bestowed on any class of parti-
san brawlers, because they are such. Norris it
reasonable to suppose that he will appoint men
to execute the laws, who openly denounce the
head Of the Government and resist or obstruct
the operation of the measures Of the Admins
tration. It would be monstrous absurdty if
he did What would be thought of General
who selected bis sentinels among the enemy
The President being personally responsible for
the acts of his Administration, it would be a
strange policy indeed if he were to select such
subordinates as would thwart all his intentions
and disregard all his commands.
But there are an abundance Of reasonable
men, though they be politicians, to answer all
the sants Of the Executive, without having
resource to any particular set Of demagogues
who make il business to abuse him.
