KILL THEM OFF, Bolts.

Some members Of Congress, who have hth-
erto borne characters generally deemed beyond
reproach have brought upon themselves, from
some of the rabid presses, The serious charge of
yielding to the temptation of bride TO desert
the Wing party. With Messrs. Morris, Goodc.
aud Stokeey, we have no personal acquaintance.
They have always been highly respected for
purity and integrity of conduct. Two otlhem,
Messrs Goode and Morris, are Ministers Of the
Gospel, in good standing with their church, and
much esteemed in the Christian communities
where they live. The character and conduct of
none of these gentlemen, we are sure, need any
vindication where they are known. Their cleo
ton TO Congress mantests, at least, the estima-
ton in which they are held al home. The silly
charge of bribery cannot affect them there,
though the reckless ribaldry Of newspaper pa
-ragraph may create prejudice against tfpn
where their character and standing are I'M
known.
How they have brought upon themselves the
rancor, exhibited in some papers, we do not
know Mr.. Morris has pubisheda letter which
has given offence; but the reason for supposng
that it WAS penned under the Influence of BRIDE
either given or promised we have yet to learn.
How Messrs. Stokeley and Goode have snned
we have not been positively informed. Rumor
says they have not been blindly obedient to eau
Gus dictation, OF have declared that they would
not be blindy led If such be the fact and Il
man of unimpeachable character in truth is TO
be charged with bribery, because he would not
be, heart, soul and mind, '.coar, man. the
People will soon learn to place their true value
on caucus legislation and on partisan accuse
tons.

THE BANKS AGAIN.

new move has been attempted in relation to the
management of our Banks. The Board of Currency
called meeting of the Presidents, and suggested that
the present specie paying Banks should suspend until
December next, for the purpose of equalizing the
value of the different notes
This is singular step on the part Of the Board of
currency II the proposition was agreed to, it would
make the notes, not all equally good but all equally
bad. The President Of the Board, Mr. r. d. Shep-
Pard was opposed to it, and in consequence resigned
his Office.
The proposition was promptly refused by the Pre-
sldents OF the Bank OF Louisiana, the Union Bank
and the Mechanics and Traders Bank who de-
clared that under no circumstances will they again
suspend
We applaud them for their honesty and frmness of
purpose-and we think that course the most advana-
geous to their interests, the opinion Of the Courier to
the contrary notwithstanding. They no doubt have
discovered ere now how much more satisfactory it is
to transact their business on the specie basis with
the confidence of the community assisting and cheer
ing them in the good work
we have it on undoubted authority that the three
honest Banks can neither be coaxed nor coerced into
deviation from the correct line Of conduct They
occupy strong position, and are fully able to sus
tain ii. =. =, i.
The Carrolton Bank agreed to suspend, but as il Is
IN state of liqudation having very few notes out il
Is not OF much consequence.
In the meantime the rotten Banks are all at Ioqger
heads among themselves, refusing each Others notes,
as each tres TO appear better than It's fellow

Mr. Editor How can any Intelligent man view

what may almost be denomlnated CRIME on the part
Of the factous evil eyed President M king and Pre-.
sldent heading members of that disorderly bodythc
House of Reslsters-lf you will allow new term
for that miserable apology for the House of Represen-
tatiyes of the United States. Can you believe that
there is aught but the evil inclination to thwar the
endeavors Of President Tyler dwelling, acting, and
ruling in that House ? They forget | will not
allow the term-hey hnop, that the course they are
pursuing will do much towards preventing fair
and equal adjustment of our difficulties with Great
Britain; for when our ships are unnamed, and our
bulwarks dsmantled, what will England care for a
settlement, such want and such as the parade
OF our strength must exor from her, an equal eflec
tual and speedy settlement When it, ] ask,
that the Court of ST. James daed with US the most,
but when our forces by and by land were the few

has discovered that we were able maintain our own
ground and after we had CONNER ced in true d ilcy
place ourselves in readiness for whatever form the re
suit of negotiations might take and ere we had scare

IMPORTANCE OF THE NAVY.

We would still call the attention Of the country
TO thi, subject
AMERICANS AT THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
A late number of the Polynesian, paper publish
ed, recently published at the Sandwich Islands, IS
Inmates the number Of Americans in those islands, in
GLIDING children, at nearly 6O0, which is than
the aggregate of all other foreigners. The amount
Of property held in the island by those 600 Ameri-
cans, is estimated at 81 100000 Besides this great
amount of American property is constantly at the
island, connected with the whale fishing In the year
lSi0, according 10 the consular returns, $4,000 l65
of American property touched AT Taheite in the So
ciety Islands. The Polynesan mentions these and
other facts to show the Importance OF more frequent
visits from ships Of to those seas Ii also re-
commends the establishment of an American naval
depot at the Sandwich Islands
When (says that paper) we consider the extent of
the field, the dangers of the navigation the numerous
savage and hostile tribes, the several semi-ciyzed
nations so rapidly rising into existence the great
number OF Islands irequented by American shipping,
the number of seamen, ships, amount of property all
embraced within its limits, we find that even much
larger force could be prohtaby employed. Instead
OF, as 1t has been in past years, solitary vessel
casonally touching at few OF the islands in question:
scarcely aording the semblance of relief or protection
to their countrymen, or giving counenance to their
commercial enterprises, SIX more suitable vessels
could be advantageously engaged in cruises from
New Zealand and sydney 10 these islands, and thence
w codSl vi America, lalllOrnla,
Japan, embracing all. the whaling grounds. That
number would be sufficient to allow one to be in each
OF the principal ports, during the period when the
whalers come into recruit; measure which would
be extremely advantageous to Them enabling them
TO preserve better degree OF discipline among their
ships, and also to receive the best medical attend
ance The st Louis, Captain Forrest, during his re-
cent cruise to the Washington, Society, and these
islands, was able to afford valuable and efficient as
slstance to many American whalers, also to reform
several abuses practsed towards seamen by the Go
vernment OF the first mentioned groups She also
secured SIX mutneers who attempted to fire their
ship, and takes them TO the United States for trial
At Tahiti, Captain Forrest, by prompt Interference,
nlPped mutlny, on board a whale ship, in its bud
and thus prevented consequences which would have
been prejudclal to the owners and disastrous to the
seamen. In fine, let man-oi-war be employed on
any Of the cruising grounds, and she cannot fail of
being OF essential service, and that, too to class of
American citizens, whose interests have been more
overlooked than those of any other.

COMPROMISE

The Tariff question has now got into the tide
Of debate in the House of Representatives, as
fully as the various currents of opinion, preju-
dice, and interest will permit. We feel but ht-
tie inc hnaton to enter the vortex of this long
vexed question We have our opinions upon it,
and we trust that they are sound-what we be-
lieve to be abstractedly right, we are willing
10 bend as far as possible TO the rules of expe-
dency We will not be too fond of the right TO
pursue the expedent as long as The expedient
is not inconsistent with what is right The alb
stract principles of mathematics, when applied
10 physics, must bend TO experiment. The
principles of the operation OF the lever subject
ed 10 variation from the frst.prlnciples. We think
that the same must hold in civil polity We
but wish a reciprocation Of llberality. We
have endeavored, TO Impress the necessity Of
some rule OF compromise which may reconcile
conflicting interests. Our Government was
originally system OF compromise, and 1t must
be carried out on the same principle The adj
yocate OF protection and the advocate OF free
trade may be both regarded as abstractonsts.
There is middle ground on which they may
meet, and amcably settle their differences
That ground we have already endeayored to vim
dicate We do not say it is the only one. If
another should be selected by both with a due
respect to strict construction ofthe constitution
and the interests of the iehole country; we are
not disposed to quarrel whit. We will exam
Inc it impartially, form and pronounce Our opin-
ion with feelings, as far as possible, unbiased.
We have but the hope that some concession will
be made by the moderate Of allparties-so that a
nnion of sentiment being formed-we may be
saved from the apprehensions which experience
prognosticates difference on this question must
