aged during great part of the two last administra-
tons.
In England every thing connected with commerce
is placed under the management of the Board Of
Trade all things connected with naval affairs are
ntrusted to the superintendent OF the Board OF Adj
mirality and those things relating to the finances of
the country, directed by the Lords Of the Irea-
sury In every persons are selected to h these
various stations and to execute the duties connected
with them, who are supposed to have some know
ledge at least, if not experience in the subjects with
which these duties are connected. This course OF
policy causes the affairs of all these departments to
be managed practically, skiltuly, and for the best
interests of the country.
Far different is the course that has for many years
past been pursued in this country. Men have been
elevated to important stations, and had conided to
their charge the Administration of the affairs Of some
of the great departments of the Government Of which
they were entirely ignorant never having, from pro-
fession study intercourse with other persons ac-
mired a knowledge of the first rudiments of the sci
ence of business which they have undertaken to treat
upon and manage. The consequences have been that
the affairs of those departments have been misman-
aged and the country has suffered.
In an especial degree will these remarks apply TO
the ma ner in which the fiscal affairs of the country
have been managed for years past, prior to lS4i

Our National Legislature has turned its at
tention within the last day or two, to the neces-
sites of the Government in a commendable
temper, and hopes are entertained that such
provision will be made for the public service as
will relieve the credit of the nation from the
disgrace cast upon it by previous apathy. Bet
ter late than never is an old adage, and we are
pleased to find, even at this late period, that
gentlemen in Congress are not totally regardless
of what should have claimed their attention long
since. Whatever may be the dictates of party
feeling, patriotism would seem TO indicate that
all parties alike concerned in meeting the
current charges on the Treasury and protecting
the interests of those to whom it MAY be in
debted However averse we may be to see the
peoples money wasted to no good purpose, our
friends at the east end of the Avenue will find
US always just as ready to recognise beneficial
action as we are to blame reckless waste of time
and treasure in fighting about shadows. Let
US beg of them to keep clear of speech-making,
it only makes people laugh at their expense.

THE WING PARTY.

The elements are in motion, the wire-workers are
busy, the President-makers have "rolled up their
sleeves" and gone to work in earnest, and
soon to have a total ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of the Wing
party new organization, and President ready made
to our hands We have not been careless lookers-on
upon the signs of the times nor have been at all
disappointed to witness the disatfection every where
manifested IN the ranks of the Wing party. During
the canvass which resulted in the overthrow of the
late corrupt Administration, we more than once had
occasion to see that there jarrng and discord-
ant elements for time united, and we have prepar-
ed our minds for the shock that might result. The
present position of affairs Is therefore, not altogether
unlocked for Our only surprise has been occasioned
by the delay of the dreadful conclusion. 1t comes
upon us with slower pace than anticipated
Yet it certainly comes. The Wing party under its
recent organization cannot long hang together Nor
do we conceive it all important for the interests of
the country that it should. The organization, as we
understood it, entered into for specific purposes
As far as it was practicable, tn leading objects Of
the confederacy have been attained-and why should
any very seriously regret the operation OF those at
raj Iacs which carry them back to the various posi-
tons to which they properly belong For ourselves,
we can see no good for desiring to perpetuae
the connexon for a single day. With us, names are
nothing principles measures, are every thing 30
long the State Rights party OF the South, by UNI,
on with the Wings of other sections, could command
respect for their cherished principles, and secure the
adopton of measures conceived to be vitality impor-
tant il was their duty to hold fast the connexon but
if at any time, they should be asked TO abandon those
long cherished principles and rally to the support of
measures at all subversive of them that moment du-
ty patriotism and honor, forbid the bans" We do
not saw that this state of things has yet to pass
We have not vet been asked to surrender the constr
utonal faith of our fathers and it may be shall
never be expected to do this Yet may not be dis
guised that concessions daily demanded of us
and that already complaints beginning to be heard
that we are wanting in the true spirit of allegiance

ing powers by large corporate moneyed institu-
tons. Now all ofthe persons last referred to think
it the duty Of Government to exercise its powers
with view to the production of sound cur
rency, and the manner in which il is to be done
presents the only difficulty. With regard to the
constitutionalIty of corporation which shall ac'
as the trustee Of the public treasure, created by
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 sem
timent. With reference to the Exchequer
scheme, whatever objections may exist as to It's
full adequacy to its object and to its details,
there is believed to be none on the ground of
constitutionaty. Admitting then that, although
it may not be entirely sufficient for the wants OF
the country, as it is nevertheless allowed to be
good as far as it goes, is it not the part OF
wisdom to do all that can be done for the relief
OF the nation; or, to use vulgar phrase, is not
half loaf better than no bread If the princi-
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 interv ention in behalf 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-
try? and proceed to answer the question at once.
The friends of the country are those who look
TO its welfare as paramount to all mere party
considerations, and are willing promptly to
abandon any particular theory that may stand
in the way of or retard the procuration 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
pelatives, but are those who regard the interests
of their country as claiming their entire service
without reference to minor distinctions.

LET THE CRY OF TEE PEOPLE GO FORTH

Party spirit enforced by the prevailing rigid dis
ciplne, is to the country. 1t destroys free
dom of thought, and converts men into mere ma
Chimes to be moved at the pleasure and for the ben
eft of the few who work the wires. It controls
every thing, from the selection of Chief Magistrate
to the appointment of a constable. Under its sway
ignorance and inability supersede intelligence and
honesty Its blasting influence is rendered particu-
arly conspicuous in the proceedings of the popular
branch of our National Legislature, where the mis-
cradle sparrng of party champions occupy time
which should be devoted to the public service The
manufacturing and mechan cal interests of the
try, are in danger of being sacrificed to those of for
egners; and yet the representatives of the people
calmly look on at the impending ruin, without making
an effort to avert it. They stand with folded arms
over empty treasury, and move not to replenish it.
They the currency deranged, but stir not to reg-
late it. In short, like the cottager on Mount Etna,
they sleep in tranquility a volcano, with
out seeking to save themselves others. They
are bound by party letters, and appear disposed
to sink themselves and country, sooner than sunder
the chains with which they encompassed. They

sTANLY is OFF.

On Thursday, Mr.. Stanly ventuled over his
depth in debate. He endeavored to make set
speech instead of combining himself as usual to
monosyllables. 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
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 extra session
false2
Mr.. Mallory said in reply, that he did not recog-
Mise any right the part of the gentleman from North
Carolina Mr. Stanly,) to catechise him this floor
tor occurrences elsewhere. He would always be
found ready to respond when that question
popounded to him in proper way, and by the proper
person. -,4
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 al 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 style-but he will hardly
relieve the county. We predict that his con-
sttuents will keep him at home next time.

In the House of Representatives, Friday,
ON motion of Mr.. Triplett, resolution was
adopted, inquiring of the Secretary of the Navy
what substitute could be judiciously made for
the Board of Commissioners. Mr.. Thompson
of Miss, called, the attention of the body to
memorial which was presented by Mr.. Morgan,
on Monday, requesting the General Govern
ment to assume the debts repudiated by the
State of Mississippi, and requesting that mea-
sures may be taken to eject her from the Union.
Mr.. t., 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
his sense Of duty as representative, and dis
claimed any intention of disrespect to 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-
