THE ExCHEoUER.

We do not hesitate to say, that even was there a
fair prospect that within the next four years Ma
tonal Bank would be Incorporated, still the tx
chequer should al be adopted as a measure OF
temporary relief. A National Bank, if chartered
this month, could not be put in operation in less than
two years, so to produce any sensible effect IN The
community. The Exchequer could be made ayalla-
BILE in sixty days from the passage OF the bill creating
it, and could be wound up in the same period if a
better plan should be devised. Considered then, in
the light of a mere temporary expedent, it should
unquestionably be adopted-St. Louis Bulletin
The foregoing, in our Judgment contains strong
an argument we have any where III behalf of
the Exchequer. If Congress would forthwith take
up and pass some one Of the Propostionsif not the
Presidents, let them adopt Mr.. Tallmadge's or Mr..
Cushng's, for either will do-they would perform a
lasting service to the country. In every section of
the Union, we hear deep and solemn appeals to the
National Legislature TO do something TO revive the
dropping spirits of the people, by enacting law TO
give them currency that will pass in all sections Of
the republic. The freemen of the nation are looking
with great anxiety to our members of Congress- who
alone have the power to relieve them, and they will
not be satisfied unless they Immediately to their
rescue.
Many desire the experiment to be made with the
Exchequer, who are opposed to Bank OF the United
States, and wish TO see how it will operate while
those who desire Bank Of the United States, which
cannot be carried at present might with propriey go
in for the Exchequer until their fayorte meas
ure, if the people should approve, could at some flu
ture period be brought again before the national
councils In every light in which the subject pre-
sents itself clearly satisfied that the Exchequer
ought to be tried, especially it can be wound up
with the greatest ease if better system Of currency
should be adopted american Sentinel

THE PUBLIC PRINTING.

The Madisonian has been deprived OF portion Of
the public printing by the action Of Congress. The
editor bears up well against adversely and says that
vernment This is right We think this act sayors
TOO much of personal malgnity to be put down TO the
OF patriotism and desire to save the money of
the people. II is proper for Congress TO that there
is waste Of the public money, and if there is any,
TO stop it. But also think that there is certain
proprey 10 be observed in this in all other matters.
We reason, for instance, why the public print
ing should be put up al auction and Knocked down TO
the lowest bidder any than any Of the other Co
offices. The printer is worthy Of his hire,
and in ninety nine cases out of every hundred, we
venture TO say, gives larger equivalent for the sum
he receives than those who find the greatest fault,
and declam the loudesi against the connexon of the
Government and the political press. The truth is,
there always has been connexion between the two,
and we see why it should not always exist.
If there any wrong committed, trust TO the vigi-
lance Of the opposition TO find it out and proclaim il 10
the people.
We have no sympathy with those small two and
low at camels, and who are ready at any to
vent their hatred on editor whenever he expresses
opinion which somewhat OF political hete-
rodoxy II is generally those men whom the press
have made that the most intolerant in their views
men " no wouli have been "alike unknowing and
unknown it not for the favor Of the Iess
which they attempt to dcsplse, and whose influence
they deprecate and wish to destroy, Out upon such
small and niggardiy souls

REORGANIZATION OF THE NAVY.

The House Of Representatives passed resolution
not long since requesting of the Secretary of tht
Navy plan for reorganization of his Department
This plan has been transmitted we publish il to-
day 1t is discriminating and thorough; broad in lis
views and effective in its details.
IL resolves the business of the Department into ap
propriae buieaux; and attaches specific duties ant
corresponding responsibilities to each. This plan be
gins at the source, and lies at the foundation of all re
forms in the Navy. 1t plants the roots of the tree
rightly. We have hitherto been at work the
limbs and the twigs and one was fxet
right another would fix itself wrong The Secretary
has begun at the root and if supported, We trust
he will be- the shaft and branches will be brought
right Jealousy of power might have suggested q
different course to the Secretary but he prefers the
good Of the service to the aggrandzemens of station
He has evinced throughout, since he took charge Of
the Department, a sincerity of devotedness 10 the
Navy and energy of conduct in its administration
which very few have had TIE blndnes, to distrus or
the hardihood to gainsay.
The reorganization will involve some increase OF
clerks and salaries in the Department at Washing
ton, but it will hundreds of thousands in the
penses of the Navy. 1t will close up at once that
great sluice of expense, resulting from want of spe
cifc duties and specific respo sblities. To oppose
this organization the of expense, would be
about silly as for the captain of merchantmen TO
allow his vessel to sink with her cargo among the
breakers, sooner than employ few extra hands to
get her off. We do not believe this reorganz atom
will meet with opposition in Congress; certainly not
if the efficiency of the service and sound economy
prevail. Let faction find its objects elsewhere, but
let this plan be met in spirit Of enlightened candor
and stern honesty We ask nothing for it but intelli.
gent and honest legislation. 1t will stand the Sc
veres tests that can be applied ask for
indulgence beyond the claims of its naked merits
That Congress will meet in right spirit, We firmly
believe we will not abandon this persuasion till il Is
forced from US, and when that is done our conf
dence in our Legislators will be wrecked.

The Philadelphia Gazette appears not fully to
comprehend the objections to the course of the Col
lector of Philadelphia in relation to removals and
appointments. The wings had objected to the re-
moval of competent officers, even if they had been
engaged in politics. if it were on the wing side yet
they made general sweep of competent democrats
from our custom house, and filled their places with
men less qualified the Of ability and expert
ence.
Not only so, but many of the appointments were
of notorious pipe-layers, men who did not and do
not enjoy the confidence of any party, and who Of
course totally unfit to be trusted with the re-
sponsbe duties connected with the collection Of the
revenue and the prevention of smuggling
