MISCELLANEOUS.

Mr.. Thomas +. Marshall of XIV. has
published long and characteristic letter,
addressed to the Marshall Temperance
Society, Of New York, in which he vim
dicates himself from some of the late char
ses made against him, and assails his as
sa.lants in no very measured language.
Some portions Of this letter will do him
no credit-whilst some passages are well
conceived, and eloquent. We quote the
following:
have said repeatedly that I meant
not to discuss the code OF honor.-There
are persons out of the church whe con.
denim the duel as a remnant of barbarism,
as at war alike with positive laws
and rational morality, as the wickedest
and least excusable mode Of homiside,
for it always implies deliberation, NAL
ace, and revenge. There are others
who believe, that when society, either by
its institutions or its manners, fails or is
unable to protect individuals in their
personal rights, that they have right to
protect themselves. Theirs ale men to
whom insults and indignities, are more
CALLING than bodily wounds-to whom
fame, and feeling, and honor, are of in,
F., fnitely more Importance than personal
securily-to whom the blow is intolera-
BILE, moi from the bodily pain which ac-
companies it, but the horrible sense Of
insult, indignity, and degradation.
Such men look back to the chivalric ages
and Institutions with that admiring re-
greet, which drew from mind profound,
phllosophisic, ard pious withal as that OF
MIR. Burke, the proud lament ever the
fall Of that system, from whence has
sprung the point of honor and devotion
! to the sex, the politeness and gallantry
of modern times: "The cheap defence
of nations, the unbought grace of life,
to which honor was as chastity, and in
suit like a wound.' A system under
which fiourIshed such men as Sir Philip
Sidney and the Chevalier Bayard, a sys-
tenn founded in loyalty. honor, religion
and love, whose light still fingers after
its sun is set, gliding even yet the tallest
points in society with the dying charms
of chivaIrlc~ manners. inspiring poetry,
and attracting, even in its ruins, the adj
miration and the sorrow of the young,
the generous, and the brave.

THE EXCHEQUER.

We learn from the Globe that Mr. Mansum. e-
dercrat, in the Senate. on the 20 ult, denounced
every aspect Of the Exchequer; and. although no
protested that he spoke only for himself us an ind-
viduaI member, yet he declared, confidently, that
he did not believe that it would receive the sup.
port Of a solitary member. Some few. he said
might be inclined to favor it, bu, it was so entirely
destitute Of support in the general opinion, tha
he believed no, one would be found to vote for it,.
When Mr. Mangum sat down, no member arose TO
gansay the assertion thus made. No, one evinced
Il disposition to reply, even to vindica,c solitary
feature of the project. And after the severe an.
imadversiOn made upon every part of it, cou'prc-
hendng sweeping condemnation n! the close, Of
the motives Of the projectors we must infer that it
is not to find one advocate in the Senate, unless
The speech of Mr. Rves and the proposition of Mr.
Talmadse TO refer the subject to a committee, may
be construed into support.
We would respectfully call OH the Wachman
to define the position of the Cidercructs n, this
posture Of affairs Tha: paper takes ground with the
Boston .Ailas, that National Bank cannot "eilher
obtain the approval or confidence Of the pecple;'

are you Mr. Wa:chmaa'
The United States Treasury will now be reguln-
ted by the laws established at the formation oflhe
GOyeinme which establish an INpEpENDANr
Treasury, but wihou. the guards which the
democrats threw around it, in the Independent
Treasury bill, which was so hastily and unwisely
repealed at the Extra Session.

Thus !, the docline boldly avowed, that an A.
merican Congress have no constitutional right 10
lay duties for protection, nor 10 H., ing duties for
revenue merely, have they right to discriminate
for the benef, Of any Of the greu, interests Of the
country. -.Mitale5ury Peoples P'ess.
We see nothing so very he,erodox in ,hi, hold
nvowal. 1t may be that the editor Of the Psoplss'
Pres can point out to US the clause Of the con-
s,i.u,on Of The United States which gives Congress
the power to hy duties for the especial beneh, Of
any class oflhe Republic Iflhey have the rish,
to lay duties, or in other words TO far one por.
lion Of the people for the benef. Of one particular
interests they have for another. Commerce, Agrcul
Tor, Nlechanics-ifone can claim exclusive benefits,
the others may.
lfCongress lay a Tariff Of revenue, then any and
all the interests Of The country have RICH, to what
incidental Protection they can obtain from such
a Tariff, and tina, is ALL they have RICH, to:
this s the true doctrine. Our constitution does not
recognize the odious doctrine Of partial lecsla.
zion, giving one class Of community exclusive priv
ileges.

The Waterman thinks we cannot justify The
democrats "for changing their votes on the Geo.
logical Bill" after the unsen,lsmanly remarks Of
Mr. Cults.
We think we can. The matter appear. to Us
in this light. Many democrats supported the bill
on the ground that i, was no, u party MEASURE,
and on that ground intended 10 vote for it, on i,s
final passage. But, when the bill was claimed 10
be a"phig measure" its success placed upon
strict party grounds, and tho wing members call
ed upon to rally in its defence as wing measure,
we do not see how democrat. acting in aeeor-
dance with the most common'rules that govern par.
ties, on such occasions, could, conssien supper,
the bill. But pcrhap, the Watehmaa. whose
friends pay so little regard to party drilling, will
not think this justification.

The Secretary estimates deficiency in the
Treasury, in 1912, Of more than FOURTEEN
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS,

for distributing to the States the surplus arising
from sales of lands, they gavoaway twice as much
ms they collect, from that source, at Il time when
the deficiency in the treasury exceeds FOURTEEN

picture Of deficits, nothing is said in the report or
IN congress, about re,rcnchng aud expenses of the
government This was talked ofand promised by
ME wings in the Presidential campaign, and the
people were make 10 believe that il power was
given to The Bank whi;s, the expenses would be
reduced to tho economical standard Of Mr. Adams
administration, which they assured the people was
thirteen millions Of dollars. Now the Secretary
informs congress that the demands on the treas
ury in 1872, (includins $1,000, OO6 TO pay treas
ury notes)w be nearly rnITY.TuLE MILL.
IONS OF DOLLARS. This is not the entertain

THE TREASURY NOTE POLICY AND
THE SCHEME OF A FUNDED DERT.

The Boston Courier, the leading wing paper in
Massachusetts. holds the following language in re.
gard to the effect in tina, important commercial ci,y,
Of the new financial policy Of tho whigs confirms
ted with that OF the late democratic adlninistra-
ton. We invite our wing friends, to read it, Ii,
will show them if they will take heed, lha, the
cry oflher leaders, in this vicinity, about ocofo-
cosm, by which they were nearly frightened to
death, was without much meaning.
The Government Loan and its Effects. |, is
generally understood, and we have no doubt Of
The fact, that within the last twenty days, TWO
MILLIONS ofdollaTs have been Withdrawn from
the use OF the business community in this CITY,
The withdrawal Of deposltes from the banks to
accommodate the government has imposed on the
banks the necessity of collecting from their GUS
toners the whole amount, and Of wilhho gliding new
discounts This necessity operates as a severe tri-
al. Prices are suddenly reduced, and the usual
resources are entirely cut off II seems to us, that
the true policy for the merchants and traders is
10 contract their business and diminish heir expen-
ses. The present pinch in the money market shows,
beyond doubt that frequent resurences OF the in
convenience may be expected; for whenever a
hundred thousand dollars olspecie should be wan
ted, million more or less, of dollars due to the
banks must be paid in forthwith. The system of
borrowing money BY means Of treasury Notes. is
inhditely better than resort to iouRs by the Gov
eminent. This would have been called : loco foco
doctrine year ago, and perhaps Il Wing, who
should then be hold enough To make the declaration
would have IuI the hazard Of recommendation;
but now, the remark ~ as common On the Ex-

people consequently pay into the Treasury the two
millions in the increased price Of the tea. This is
a Tariff of Rerenue, and is a tar on the people TO
support the Government. A large portion Of the
broadclolh used by the people is manufactured in
this country; say one half. Then il tho Govern
mcnt levy the same tariff on that article, the
price Of The home article increasing with that Of The
foreign, while the people pay two millions into
the Treasury Of the Government,they also pay an
extra tVo millions into he pockets of the man
ufaciurers Of the home article! This is pro-
icciire Tariff. Can there be a luboring man
in Vermont in favor Of such protection? And ye.
this is The Protection they have heard so much a.
bout in the wing papers
These Manufactures and their papers have talk
ed and written to the people Of Vermont so much
about protection, that one half have come to
believe, that they, individually, are, in some way
protected by this high sounding Protective policy
The truth of the matter is, however, they are
TAXED by it, it is the lordly manufacturer, like
our Autocratc governor that is protected, and eve
ry man who buys anything he manufacturers is
Jared to project him.
We say, this doctrine Of having tariffs TO protect
one interest 10 the neglect of the rest is not demo-
cratic. Let all he entitled to equal Rotection.-
Let us have no TaiAs to tar the people 10 fill The
pockets of the manufacturers We say that con-
gress has no right to pass laws to protect one par

and not for the particular welfare of this, or that

that protects and pampers that class and compelS
the poor man 10 pay an extra toil-earned mite to
