THE ExcHEQUER BILL.

We hear from Washington that the committee Of
the Senate TO whom was referred the report of the
Secretary of the Treasury IN relation to the Exche
quer Board have had a meeting, and that report
from them may be expected at an early day. On
comparing views the committee think that some
measure can be proposed IN which the objections
started against the plan of the Secretary will be got
clear Of at the same time that the admitted efficiency
of the system will be impared.-Bah Pat
We rejoice to learn that the Committee on the
Exchequer have set to work in good earnest, TO per-
feet the plan recommended by the President and
that maugre the eorsof those overheated partisans
who would take nothing because they could not get
what they wanted the country is likely ere long to
enjoy the benefits of SYSTEM which its bitterest
emes are forced to admit will at least equaze ex-
changes, if it does not furnish sufficient amount Of
currency.
The patriotism of such as are willing to see the
credit system FRUSTRATED and the business interests of
the whole country parayzed because, forsooh, they
could not force the President to violate his oath and
his conscience, will in due time be appreciated by a
discerning public.
We have but little doubt the present Congress WILL
before its adjournment, adopt the main features of
the plan which was recommended by the Executive,
and that il WILL upon trial, be found more beneficial
and satisfactory, than even its best friends have anti
cipated.
1t is time high time that those who look only to
the true and lasting interests of the country should
discard that hostility 10 this system which was en-,
gendered by disappointment at the veloes of the Pre-
sdcnt and seriously inquire, ichdt Is 10 be done TO
reiiere the country? Parsans and demagogucs may
ask what can we do to break down the Admnistra-
ton and bring it into disrepute What we do
promote the prospects of ayorlte candidate fol-
the Presidency But the patriot, he who cares not
for the OF men, but seeks only the prosperity
OF the country the restoration OF confidence, the relief
of the sutengs OF the bus classes OF the commu
