COMING OUT RIGHT.

The Boston Daily AIreHiser, puts forth the
following doctrine on the subject Of National
BQRk:
Gone grcatflacy Of the late US Bank was the
idea of regulating the Exchanges. 1t will not bear
moments examination. Exchanges IRE regulut-
ed by the course of lradc-aRd there Is not and
cannot be in the nature Of things any other regula-
tor Put the laws in force, and make people and
banks pay their debts in money, aud not in broken
promises to pay, and the exchanges are regulated,
All other interference dcranses them. Ii is like
interfering with The order of nature aud Of the sea-
sons. 1t can do nothing but mischief Who has
not seen, that has looked at the course Of the late
Bank Of the United States, great mistakes and mis-
chef under the prGtcnce Of regulation. And what
can be more certain and inevitable than that u
great and powerful institution can create tempo
rary arrangement and rise ard Gall for its own pur-
poses. This, however. could be endured, if the
only loss 10 the community were the gain of the
BANK. Bot the difficulty is, that it dis'urbs the
natural course Of trade and battles all calculation
1t Is like the ,ire Of oycr-cgisalon, constantly and
inevitably misrhievous and bnnelul. Nobody can
doubt this. There is no regulating exchanges in
Europe, and the problem in England is, how 10
place the Bank Of England so that the exchanges
may regulate themselves. Who does not see that
the Bank Of England is constantly making mistakes
and creating difficulty, and in the nature Of things
it cannot be otherwise"
Such doctrine as this but short time since,
would have been denounced as the ves and rank
est "locolOcoism.'

With what truth the foregoing statement is made

your denial is far from raising you in his or our es-

TIE "FISCAL AGENT.n

In this weeks paper will be found the plan Of
Secretary Ewing for new National Bank. The
Secretary seems 10 have made dead failure, fail
ing to satisfy his own friends.
The New York Courier and Enquirer, says OF
the plan:
1t is not such Bank as the wing party desire;
it is not such bank the eAgencies Of the coun-
try require and it is not such project for bank
us the people of the United States had right to
expect from Mr. Ewing"
The Journal Of Commerce SAYS:
! owe have conversed with several gentlemen
who are among the most influential in desiring a
National Bank and they all say that the plan of the
Honorable Secretary will not answer, according to
their views that it must of necessity be too much
political and too little of mercantile machine,
and that in their judgment the moneycd and bust
ness men of the country would stand aloof from it,"
The National Mtehigeaccr says:
We do not doubt but that TO the mind Of al
most every man who has thought at all upon the
subject, this Bank project would be more accepta-
bic if some or more features of were differ
ent from what they are. But to any plan that
could possibly be proposed objections Of detail
would arise in different minds according to their
particular views. We do not say that the Treasury
plan is perfect, or even the best that could have
/ been devised, We would ourselves Willingly see
one or two Of lis features changed"
( The Bosom Daily .aireriiscr, also is not salts
fed with Mr. Ewng's plan, and the Richmond
| Wing, and Albany Journal, all at once, are not
sufficiently acquainted with the subject of finance
to give an opinion on the subject
The Daily .Airertiser says, ''that the idea Of a
National Bank's regulating the Exchanges, is
iierlyJailacious, not 'cOrthy Of moments con-
sideraiion."
This is the truth, though from strange and I'M
expected quarter. Wearc perfectly satisfied, how
ever, that the public mind is fast settling down up
on the opinion that no National Bank is needed by
the people, and whatever may be the result of this
most foolish and unnecessary Extra Session, such
an institution if chartered will! die in its cradle
srang|ed by the strong hand of the people,

We are coming 10 a most horrible pass Rob-
berries, orgeres and derllcators are getting to be
as common as the water we drink F.; and the worst
of the matter is, the people have become so pros
lituted, their moral sensbililics so blun,ed and
deadened by the daily occurrence of the vicious
and demoralizing practices of the Banks, that they
look upon robbery of half million with as little
care or concern as they do upon the most common
