1t affords us much pleasure to notice the determn-
ed spirit evinced by the people to sustain the Presi-
dents views with regard to the currency. The Ex-
chequer pan prepared by the Secretary OF the Urea
sury ample in ifs provisions to out the finan-
cial operations of the Government and at the same
time furnishes the basis of sound circulating me-
dunn, which is that which the country requires. AS
10 am old fashioned IT, S. Bank, it is preposterous to
think about in these latter days of Bank degenera-
ton The friends of the measure, in its most palmy
DAYS had not dared to make it direct issue before
the people, whe hundreds, yea, thousands, OF those
who heretofore honestly advocated the reesabllsh-
ment of IT, S. Bank, have been fully convinced of
their past error, and are loudest in their denun-
Citations. Why, then, in the name of common sense
this bitterness of feeling towards the President by
portion Of the opposition in Congress, BECAUSE In the
conscientious exercise of his duty he cannot sanction
measure which is uncalled forby the great mass of
the people We would implore our Representatives
in Congress to divest themselves, for once of all par
tsan feeling and in good earnest legslate for the be-
neft of suffering people instead of the political ele-
but give us the Exchequer plan and discriminating
Tariff for the protection of home industry, and our
word for it we will again become happy and pros
porous people.

tire satisfaction TO the whole country? Was
not recommendation of postponement oil
Distribution a unanimous Cabinet measure
If the ground assumed towards Mexico be pro-
per, then Mr.. Webster is right, for he stands by
the side of the President in the occupancy OF
that position. If the President be right IN the
principles which he lays down for The guidance
OF the Chief Magistrate in the Rhode Island
these are entirely similar TO his own opinions on
the subject
Then, in what respect does Mr.. Webster noao
offend, that he only, of all men, should be repu-
dated by Republicans What foreignerspeaks
Of America without associating Mr.. Websters
the country, and make its name glorious for ia
lent and craftsmanship What American
abroad does not take pride in Mr. Webster
And is il possible that any one will permit their
feelings of enmty, for past transgressions, SO
to blind him to Mr.. Websters great intellect,
and the present sound attitude which he occu-
pies in the political history of the country, as
not only constantly to be harping on his past acts
and opinions but to refuse his hand of proffered
friendship? A Bentonian may do this, but we
hope none other
The present nice and important negotiations
going on between the British and American Go
vernments, are calculated, if well or i'll conduct
ed, to be either of great service or of vast evil
to the country. The Locofoco Gin contradis-
tinction to Democratic) presses are daily attack
ing the Secretary in the most bitter, malignant,
and unjustifable manner, personally and polti-
cally; and anticipating an ominous conclu-
sion of our difficulties with Great Britain. OF
course this is neither decent nor just, but we
will make an issue with these sensitive politi-
cians-perfect sensitive plants on the subject
of political capital-and dare them to the test,
that Mr.. Webster will occupy no Other ground
than patriot should assume in these negotia-
tons, and that the country will testify to this,
if, after ii happens, they will cease to abuse him.
Now, this is fair bargain. Will it be agreed
to? We will gladly hear an affirmative reply
given.

COMPARATIVE TARIFFS.

We have, at length, financial document,
embracing synoptical view of ''our tariffs and
those of foreign countries" that must be accept
able to the whole community-not partial
but full compendium of import duties. 1t has
been furnished by the Secretary OF the Treasury
on call from the Senate, preparedby MIR. Jona-
than Elliot, who has done ample justice TO the
work, having endeavored to assimilate LAS
of our enumerated articles TO those Of fourteen
foreign countries. The design is original and
though he claims its execution to be merely an
approximation, yet he has attained precision
and closeness in the calculations of his moneys,
weights and measures, creditable to his talents
and industry We are not aware that any com
mercial country possesses work as ample as
that before US on comparative import duues
on the contrary, the extent OF prior laoors on 'he
subject do not, we learn, extend beyond a com
paratve view Of t1ro or three nations. MIR. n
has, therefore, the credit of making an import
ant advance in this department Of statistics. FoI
such a service, at this crisis of our revenue, ne
is entitled to some substantial reward from those
who reap the benefit of his laborious under
taking

CONGRESS-.

In the House Of Representatives on Monday,
Mr. Briggs submitted motion that when the
House adjourns on Thursday next, it will ad-
journ to Monday, TO give an opportunity to ven
tilate the Hall. Cries of this is race week. =
The motion was agreed to, after some discus
sion, by vote of Ia to IL.
Mr.. Everett moved to go into Committee OF
the Whole on the Apportionment Bill. Mr. w. G.
Johnson said that, though he was entitled to the
floor, he hoped the bill would not to be taken up
until the unfinished business Of Saturday even
ing, which was the motion to print the Mes
sage of the President transmitting the report OF
Messrs. Kelly and Stewart commissioners TO
House. Mr.. Everett, however, pressed the
motion, and Mr.. Hopkins asked for the ayes and
noes, that it might be seen who were opposed
to the printing Of an Executive document; but
the yeas and nays were not ordered, and Mr..
Everetl's motion was agreed to.
The Appointment bill was taken up, the
question being on the amendment proposing
that the Legislatures of the several States shall
divide them into representative districts, which
was discussed by Messrs. w. Cost Johnson,
Pope, Pendletol, Everett Halsted, and others ;
and, without taking any question, the Commit
tee rose
A resolution was adopted providing to take
the bill out Of committee on Tuesday at two
o'clock and the House then adjourned.
The Senate were occupied for more than two
hours 10 discussing points of order, growing out
of Mr.. Aliens third or fourth attempt to induce
the Senate to pass his resolution calling upon the
President of the United States for certain infor-
nation in relation to the controversy in Rhode
Island Thus the greatest portion OF the day
was consumed, and the Appropriation bill was,
consequently not taken up.

The editor of the U. S. Gazette, having de-
clared, in his paper of Saturday, that he was
himself the bona fde author Of the article in
his paper, which we denomnated g Mr.. Clay's
General ORDERS" we shall certainly not so far
rely on any other and counter information or
evidence, as to express doubt of his veracity.
The result so far, then is, that the United
States Gazette espouses Mr.. Clay's cause, Ia
vors his immediate nomination for the Presl-
dency, consents to no DELIBERATIvE CONVENTION
