Mn. TytEh's ExeHgoDEa HiLLe-Tlio opin-
ion that the esehequer bill will BIZ loat In con
gress, appears 10 gain currency. Although
we have not published the bill entire, our
readers know our opinion Of itg meFits-or,
moro properly, Of its donierits,~-for we told
them in the outset that We believed it to be
Il sclenis for concentrating In the hands Of
tho president aud his minioas tho whole mo-
MED power Of the government that it wal a
politicians bank, not 4 peoples bank. It is
tkas viewed generally--both parties censaring
the measure and It's atthors without mercy.
Our readeFs will, no doubt, be pleaeed 10 soc
the remarks of their eerator on the project and
we accordingly give theta. Mr. B4rrow'e ora
tory, like his person, is oil Il vigorous ro5uat'
manly caste. It's easy 10 perceive that he
says what he thinks and he 10 Il bold and
hoacst thinker, His words are these Of q
man not afraid TO be just.
With Mr.. Burrows recommendations o.
purity policy, We have, Of course, nc concern /;
yet thus far, we will adopt his sentiments :--
we recommend an entire separation, q risculo
nsatrimonii, Of all honest men from the presi-
dent; for honesty appears 10 have b en- ex-
palled from his bed and board, inally and for
ever. We know OF other politicians whose
characters are doubtful but Tyler leaves no
room to doubt his. A strictly upright man
can neither lead or follow him.

rency and exchanges was one OF difficulty /;
and, aware OF that, he was in favor oil old Ia
shioned experience. In the present state OF
the country, he was for referring to the histo-
ry of the past, to ascertain what was done
when the ountry was once before oyerwhelni-
ed with similar c4lanitie5. Then but one re-

not decided by the people at the presidential

The apathy at these elections was the neces-
sary result Of the defeat Of their fayorite mea-
sure-the principal and vital measure Of the
extra session. A bank of the Ua,tei States,
it was said, could not meet the views OF the
President. At a future DAY he would have
little difficulty in showing that the president
was mistaken in believing that the %constitu.
