THE ExcHEoUER IN KENTUCKY.

We are indebted TO a distinguished gentle
man in this city for the following extract of a
letter, from decided Wing Of great influence
in Kenlucky.-Ep.
am glad to hear that the Exchequer is gaining
friends, and that there Is probability Of its passing
The great difficulty it has to encounter is the nger-
ing hope, entertained by many of the Wings that
National Bank will yet be obtained. The two in
sttuons Of that kind, which chartered in 1871
and 1876 were in my opinion, very useful in carry
ing the operations of the Government and in ia
cating the commerce Of the country but ! think il
very doubtful whether a National Bank chartered
under existing circumstances, would accomplish the
object Of its creation, To render an institution OF
that kind successful il necessary that it should have
the confidence of the country With the unceasing
and uniiring opposition which such an institution
would have to encounter from The powerful party,
now in the minority and being opposed by consde-
rabe section of the Wing party, on constitutional
grounds; and having, moreover to encounter the diff
culties arising out of the present dcanged state OF
the currency, and the great of banking under
State charters, it is at least probable, that National
Bank, even if attainable, would prove a perfect
failure.
The Sub Treasury, and State Bank system, have
been tried and abandoned and am wholly at loss
TO know what system can DO adopted for managing
fiscal concerns unless something like the plan
proposed in the Excheque scheme shall be adopted.
Ii appears me- that the main objections t. the plan,
reported by the Secretary of the Treasury, may he
obviated by amendment, and most sincerely hope
Congress may be able by proper notifications, to rem
der the plan acceptable to the country and thus settle
he very difficult problem, of finally arranging the
fiscal concerns of the country, One great advantage
of the system will be, that il will be subectto amend
nents as experience shall show their necessity
Yours, truly and sincerely

CONGRESS-.

IN the House of representatives, Friday,
IN motion OF Mr.. Tripet, resolution was
.aooted inquiring of the Secretary of the Navy
,gbat substitute could be judiciously made for
,hs hoard of Commissioners. Mr.. Thompson
Of Miss, called the attention OF the body TO a
memorial which was presented by Mr.. Morgan,
on Monday, requesting the General Govern
ment 10 assume the debts repudiated by the
State Of Mississippi, and requesting that mea :
sures may be taken to eject her from the Union.
Mr.. r., in concluding some very animated re-
marks on this petition, declared that its state
ments were false and calumnious, and that
whoever asserted that his State, in her late pro
ceedings in regard to her reputed debts, had
acted dishonesty or dishonorably, was base
liar and calumniator, and to him he held him
self responsible. NJ. Morgan stated that he
had presented the petition in accordance with
his sense Of duty as representative, and dis.
claimed any intention of disrespect 10 the State
of Mississippi, or her representatives. The
matter was then dropped.
Mr. Fillmore moved to go into Committee OF
the Whole on the state of the Union, for the
purpose Of taking up the Loan bill. This, by
the rules Of the House, being private bill day,
the motion was resisted, but it was agreed to-
ayes SO, noes go The House then resolved IL
self into a Committee of the Whole. Mr. Ward
in the Chair, and the Loan bill was taken up
Mr. Gordon, who was entitled to the floor,
spoke for nearly two hours in defence Of the
course pursued by the late Administration. He
was followed by Messrs Milton Brown, Kenne-
DIV, of Ia, and Profit, who had not concluded
his remarks when the House adjourned.
In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. Evans concluded
his remarks on the Tariff resolution Mr. Clay.

I ing powers by large corporate moneyed instilu-
tons. Now all ofthe persons lastrelt rrcd To think
il the duty of Government TO exercise lis powers
with a view TO the production Of sound eur
rency, and the manner in which il i, to be done
presents the only difficulty. With regard TO the
constitutionality of corporation which shall act
the trustee of the public treasure, created by a
body, which is itself only trustee for the same
and other purposes, the question has been put at
rest by Executive opinion, respectfully but
firmly expressed, to say nothing of popular SEN
timent. With reference to the Exchequer
scheme whatever objections may exist as to its
full adequacy TO its object and TO lis details,
there is believed 10 be none on the ground OF
constitutionality. Admitting then that, although
il may not be entirely sufficient for the wants OF
the country, as it is nevertheless allowed to be
good as far as il goes, is il not the part OF
wisdom to do all that can be done for the relief
oil the nation; or, 10 use vulgar phrase, Is not
hall loaf better than no bread 2 If the prlnci-
pie of mutual concession, of which we have
spoken, were adopted, what would be the con
sequence Simply this All of the friends Of
government intervention In Oendli OF supplying
the business wants of the country, would unite
in procuring that end in the best way and to the
greatestextent practicable, and the people would
at least have the benefit of the Exchequer
scheme which would furnish fifteen millions.
Such would be the action Of patriotism dis
enthralled from pride Of opinion and party
feeling, but unhappily, this pride Of opinion and
party feeling exist and the country must con
tinue TO suffer
We ask now who are the friends of the coun-
try2 and proceed 10 answer the question at once.
The friends of the country are those who look
10 its welfare as paramount TO all mere party
considerations, and are willing promptly 10
abandon any particular theory that may stand
in the way Of or retard the procuraon of, that
object The friends of the country are those
who will frown with indignation on all men, be
they who they may, that prefer the advance
ment Of self TO that Of the public good, and
would make party spirit. the means Of attaining
the end In word, the friends of the country
are not to be distinguished by mere party APP
pellalves, but are those who regard the interests
of their country as claiming their entire service
without reference to minor distinctions.

sTANLY IS oFF.

On Thursday, Mr.. Stanly ventuied over his
depth in debate. He endeavored to make sci
speech instead of combining himself as usual 10
monosy lables. The consequence was as might
have been expected-he was completely
swamped While houndering about and catch
ing at straws he came in contact with Mr.. Nal
lory, altogether different substance. We give
the pass between them:
Mr. Stanly here desired to be informed by the gen
,lelnan from the Norfolk district, (Mr. Mallory J
whether he had said that the President had autho-
rsed him to pronounce that the charges made against
the President by Mr. Ewing at the session were
false :
Mr. Mallory said, in reply that he did not recog-
Mise any right the part Of the gentleman from North
Carolina, MI. Stanly to caechse him on this floor
tor occurrences elsewhere he would always be
found ready respond when that question was
propounded to him in proper way and by the proper
person
Mr.. Stanly had not time, at least it was not
convenient for him to PROFOUND the question in
the proper way He sank, perhaps to rise no
more on that subject We trust the country
will be able to discover the relevancy of his
speech at such an important crisis as the pre-
sent. We confess that it is beyond our ken.
He may relieve himself by venting his spite in
his peculiarly classical stvle-but he will hardly
relieve the county. We predict that his con-
stituents will keep him at home next time.

Remember.

Tia, during the debate in the Senate upon the
Tariff, Mr. BENTON-whom the wings con,inu-
ally sligmn'lzc AS an opponent of American Indus
lry-aller declaring himself in favor ola tariff for
revenue, "ANp INCIpENrIAL PROTECTION
TO OUR COUNTRY, PARTICULARLY TO THE
rAEMERs," moved an amendment to the bill by
which the higher duties should be extended to all
wool costing as low as cents per pound in the
foreign market, instead Of cents, az the bill pro-
vidcd, thus materially increasing The perfection
10 The farmers.
And, REMEMBER, that this amendment, in
tended to bcneG, one of the mos, important inter-
cs,s in the country, was VOTED DOWN by the
wings.
This, farmers of Vermont, is the love that the
the cidercrats have for your interests.

The dignity Of the Woodstock

Every week the editor of the Mercury sends
paper to MIR Smile with the picture of rum bir-
rel drawn on the wrapper! That is "WoodstOck
Junto" TO the life! That band of infdcls. bank
rupls small potatoe lawyers, and horse ockies, is
composed of men who can be guilty of all such
sorts Of dignifed acts as the one specified above,
daubing signs &C., &c. There is one consoh-
ton, however, and that is, that the days of this
most miserable cats-paw of Consul Jarvis are
numbered. The people have been ruled by This
combination fgnoramuses, knaves and cut lhro,ls,
black guards and infdcls, ow-minded inriguers &
cock-turkey arstocras known as the "Woodslock
Junto" till they are heartily sick oft. We should
state however that we do not hold Il large portion
of the wing party responsible for tho acts of this
gang. That party, in this village, number many
hgh-innded, honorable men, gentlemen who would
not be guilty Of a mean act to elect Henry
Clay President. People here understand who we
mean by "thc Junlo."
1t Is the insolent puppy ism, secret intrigues
and open defiance oflaw and decency ofihis Pouse-
hole breed of reptiles that has so prejudced the
minds of the people of the county against Wood
stock, and engendercd the efforts lhalarc making
for division Of the county. Twas this set that
insgatcd the infamous riot on the evening after
the Democratic Convention in 1910 when Aldcn's
was surrounded bya drunken mob, and Gov. Van
Ness insulted,
They have disgraced the village for years and
will disgrace it forever unless the better and really
respectable portion of the wing party PIT them
down, and redeem Woodstock from then blghlns
and Pcs,llcrous supremacy they do it.

Which party,

In the State, has shown that they are actualed by
a real regard for the interest Of the farmer When
SallonsialPs bill was introduced it was aud-
dcd by the hard cider and instantly condemned
by the democratic papers. II afforded no protec-
ton Tor wool, none at all, or that which amounted
10 none at all. 1t was fine thing for all the
manufacturers, Paine & Co., and all his papers
appauded ii, and it was not till the democratic
papers showed up its ineiciency in protecting the
wool .growcr-not till petitions had been clrcula-
ted through the State, praying iol more adequate
protection on wool that the wing papers said
word about 1t. All at once, as the farmers began
10 see which party had The right of the question
and The wing papers grew alarmed about the State,
10! they were stricken, all of sudden, with a
love for the wool grower and now have the au-
dlcly to claim 10 be his exclusive ir;ends!--

Understand!

That early as March, last spring, the democrats
all over the State were holding conventions ON the
Tariff question aud passing Resolutions against,
importing foreign wool duty free, aud in favor Of
Tariff, aud that so late as June, in the summer,
the jPaichman was defending the anti protection,
doctrine that "a duty on the law material Is tax
on the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES & Co.,) that they
defended this doctrine and declared " that wool
needed but very little protection" that "the far
mcrs of Vermont could raise wool for twenty five
cents per pound' that they supported the manu-
featuring interests 10 the entire neglect Of the wool
growing interest III wHhin few u,chS! And
now they are awlully taken with love aud sympa-
thy for the wool-grower and bccausc-lhcy are
afraid the State wilrbc lost. How disintcrcstcd

Our New

1--we for the wtol-srowcr, the hard cider papers
are !aIking about that Last year, we SAID almost
as much as wc have This, on the same subject ;and
then the wing papers laughed at us, and pulled and
bow,d and made all the rldculc they could n,
our cndeavorcs 10 convince the farmer that 1t
would never DO TO admit foreign wool duty free
We called Col. Paine the course ool-duiy-ircc
cinl date. The wing papers made themselves II
deal OF fun ut our efforts 10 induce the Farmer 10
investigate the subject. Here then the matter
stands. A (ull year ago, wc occupied the same
ground we do now, and labored with as much zeal
Cor the protection Of the wool.growcr and the hard
cider papers call our zeal neW 6Orn while they, all
las, year, and till within Il few weeks, this, were
backguarding ~, calling US liar, &c. for urging
the wool protection question upon the attention
Of the people: never saying word except IN
der,ion about the matter and now call themselves
the exclusive friends Of the wool.grjwcr. We tod
the farmers last year, that under The wing SYSTEM
which COL Paine favored their wool would he sold
for ,25 the pound within twelve months, and the
country would be flooded with foreign wool. Every
word has been ,erIied-and yet the hard cider
papers called US fool for making the assertion, al
the time When tho wings became afraid that
they should lose the State they came out few week
since. set themselves down upon the same ground
we occupied year ago and swear ihi, they have
ai,cays, and that we have nerer, been there! II
takes whiggery 10 get up and attempt TO carry of
such npudcncc. This ground that they claim
with such an air Of authority, that was occupied
by US last year, pnlty much alone, we believe en-
iirc.y, sn far rs the press was concerned TO wit:
that no coarse wool should be imported duty free
that the wing policy would bring Vermont wool
down to twenty-five cents per pound, and food the
country with foreign wool, is the true ground il
was the true ground then, and we shall not be
driven from it easily, by set Of hard cider dema-
gogues who now that they see the eyes Of the pco-
pic turned TO our position arc attempting TO push
US of, claim all the honor Of having first occupied
It and look down upon as if we had no business
there II these fellows are in earnest why did mt
they come 10 our aid, last year, All, there was
no danger Of losing the State, then! Paine and
hi inicrcs, were in no danger from the " Lying
Spirit Of the Age''.-lhe Esprit Of iaiquiiy'-ihe
Esprit Of Erii' as these orthodox people call us.
But, now, there is danger, and To- how patriotic
they grow two or three weeks before the election!
md how loudly they accuse us Of being opposed to
protection g,id in favor of the doctrines Of free
,lade, and claim for themselves exclusive love and
friendship for the wool-srower! If impudcnce and
filsehood can give people claim TO anything,
there is no thing under, m. above, or in the earth
