FRAUDS IN ENGLISH EXCHEQUER
BILI.S

The British Parliament, as will have been
seen by the last accounts from England, has
taken up the subject of the late frauds in Elk
chequer bills, and determination is shown to
examine thoroughly into the matter. Let us
think as we may Of the political institutions of
Britain, every body must admire the spirit with
which frauds are ferreted out and punished. 1t
is not our intention to play the panegyrist, but
we never witness the certainty with which
crime is punished in the land of our forefathers
without admiration. No matter what may be
the wealth or standing of those who offend
against the laws, they are usually carried into
effect, without fear, favor, or affection. To be
exalted in rank, and consequently possessed OF
the means of knowing better, so far from being
regarded as reason why crime should not be
punished, is there looked upon as the very best
reason why the parties should be punished ac-
cording 10 their deserts. Many instances il
Illustrative of this fact, may be found in English
history, among which, the execution of the &C.
LIBERATED DR.. Dodd may be properly regarded as
one of the strongest. Is there not room to APP
prehend that such is not the case on this side
of the water, and that there is but too much
truth in the assertion, that in America man
has only to be rich to secure exemption from
punishment.

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Some gentleman, doubtless, who has failed In get
ting mdshpmans warrant, seems to be troubling
the editors with his objections TO the present mode OF
making the appointments. He thinks there onght to
be precisely SO many from each State Territory
has occurred him, perhaps, that the young
men of some of the most distant States have par
tcular relish for the sea, while those who living
the margin would be delighted with life upon its
BOSOM In our judgment, the Navy should not have
any force laws Every gentleman should 60 with the
bent of his genius and not be induced to enter the
naval service merely because mis- State is entitled to
number of midshpmen that MUST be filled up from
his State, the Navy 60 without its requisite officers
Indeed, such is the anxiety of some young gentlemen
from the sea-washed States to get into the Navy that
they prevail upon friends to let them hail from interior
States that have but few candidates to present.
1t may be that the present complainant is at this mo-
ment assuming temporary settlement, for a short
imo one Of the States that has its full share,
his State having already obtained its compliment.
Those who conversant with the course fappicanis
from the shipping States know how many devices are
resorted to, to gain admission into the Navy
We have known Of PERSONS claiming from
State in which they do not reside, merely because no
young men of the State in question wished to enter
the service. Now in judgment it is these ar
dent young men, half sailors from their position and
knowledge of maritime matters, and who are burning
with zeal to get on board of our men of war, that
ought to receive the appointments We would not
issue search warrant to discover to enter the
Navy, when we can find those whose hearts doat
upon the service and want to make Of the gallant
hand

and the best way to secure the eventual dis
charge of our Indebtedness is to establish conf
dence, and thus procure extensions OF time In
cases where such extensions may be necessary.
An individual may be unable to pay his debts,
but, if he shows the disposition to do so, he is
sure to obtain any indulgence he may want,
whereas, if he denies the debt, he loses his cha
racter, and thus becomes ruined. So it is with
States or corporations that continue to re-
cognize the validity of their acts and whatever
may be their present disabilities, proper exer-
else of their energies in providing for future
payment will sustain the confidence of their
creditors, and thus enable them, in the end, to
cancel their obligations.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.


We give to-day the Message of the President in re.
lation to the condition of the Government finances,
&C.. urging upon Congress the immediate adoption of
such measures as will relief from the pressing
| embarrassments with which the Treasury is sur
rounded. One of the leading measures suggested is
the repeal suspension Of the Distribution act OF the
last session another, increase of the tariff, and
third, the adoption Of the plan of financial agent
submitted at the opening of the session We have
no hope that either Of the suggestions OF the Presl-
dent will receive the attention solicited for them at
early day, unless it be the increase of the Tariff
We would not be surprised at an early adoption of
rate Of duties sufficiently high to insure adequate
revenue to meet all the demands upon the Treasury.
Nor should we regret this measure if the Tariff be
laid in such way to operate equally all parts of
the country 1t is the duty Of Congress to provide
this revenue, and if it be secured without aban-
donment of the principles of the Compromise act the
bare increase of the rate of duties ought not to be
complained of.
The Distribution act ought never to have been
passed, while the country was in debt. We fully &C
knowledge the correctness of the principles upon
which the distribution is defended but for all that,
could the propriety of dividing out these
land funds among the States, while the Treasury
much needed them to meet the demands upon it
Whenever thoso all paid of, under just anu
equitable arrangement of the tariff then let the States
have them-not till then. We have expectation,
however, that the distribution law will be repealed
or suspended, until by own provisions it ceases to
operate-which will be whenever the tariff of duties
exceeds 30 per cent.
In reference to the fscality, we have ceased to
hope for any favorable action. We have expressed
our opinion in favor of MIR. Tallmadge's plan but
compelled to that the spirit of opposition
to Mr.. Tyler's recommendations runs so strong in
Congress, that is hoping against hope to expect that
any measure will be adopted at all resembling the
one suggested by the Secretary. We believe the
country would be satisfied to try either of the plans
but politicians won't let them.

ACCOMMODATION OF SAILORS.

We are pleased to find that the amelioration
of the condition of our noble tars, by affording
to them proper comforts under good moral man
agement, has for some time past occupied
the public mind. In times gone by, sailor
boarding houses have been the haunts of in
fanny and imposition, and it is high time that
the free-hearted, but unrehecting sons of the
ocean should be rescued from their degrading
influences. AS things have stood, no sooner
has seaman returned from his voyage and re-
ceived his wages, than he becomes a prey TO
beastly indulgences, to which sailor landlords
cater with view to their own profit. The con-
sequence is, that the poor mariner finds himself
in few days stripped of his hard earnings,
and. what is worse, his health and his sef-re-
spect. There is much, very much, to recon-
mend marine schools, but if, when educated,
the sailor is to be exposed in every port where
he may be, to the temptations to vice that pre-
sent themselves in the places where he is
forced to board, these institutions are deprived
of halt their excellence. We would therefore,
let young people who are intended for sea-faring
life be, not only well educated, but let them af-
forwards be so accommodated as to keep them
under the protection of good moral discipline
1t becomes the especial duty of commercial men
to look to this NATTER in doing so they furnish
the best safeguard to their own interests. II
ships were manned with sober, respectable
crews, they would be much more safe from the
dangers of the sea, and Our feelings would not
| be so frequently laceraled by variations of mu.
tiny, murder and theft. Poor Jack is left to con
tract bad habits, and then we complain of him
for committing crimes of which he never would
have dreamed, had those habits never been
formed. This is not just, and should be RENE
