THE EXCHEQUER AND THE STATE
BANKS

Among the many considerations which, as
we conceive, should recommend the Exchequer
scheme Of the President to the favor of the
People is the fact that whilst it will furnish to
the banking establishments in the several States
basis Of credit equal 10 that oil gold and silver,
it will in no way interfere with the vested rights
of the stockholders in those institutions. One
Bank is, that 1t must occupy space with the
business community for the enjoyment OF which,
in most instances, individuals have paid heavy
premiums in the form of bonus and thus
deprive them of rights for which they have
given valuable consideration. In the Elk
and while the facilities it affords to the transfer
Of funds must go very far to regulate exchanges,
there will be no exercise of influence whereby
the means of banks can be controlled ordisposed
of to the injury of any sound institution. 1t is
true, that in order to participate in the advan-
tages offered by the plan, the banks, like ndivi-
duals, must redeem their notes in coin when re-
quired to do so; but this, so far from being a
hindrance to trade must operate to its benefit
| by keeping upa wholesome restriction on the
wildness of speculation. When banks know,
that in order TO give their notes their full value,
they must always have something in their vaults
equivalent to specie, they will take good care
never to transcend the limits Of their capacity
TO redeem, and consequently will not increase
their responsibilities unless on the basis Of actual
business paper

w. FORW ARD,
Secretary of the Treasury.
MR.. BRADFORD.

Every report or rumor which charges intrigue
or previous understanding, or interview, or inter
course, between the President and Mr. Brad
ford, upon the subject of the nomination TO the
Judgeship of East Pennsy lvania, we feel ourselves
authorized TO pronounce, IN all its parts and CIR
cumstances, TO be utterly false and unfounded.
Mr.. Bradford never named the Judgeship 10
The President, nor the President to Mr.. Brad
ford The President nominated him upon the
strongest recon- mendations Of The bar, me
bench, and his feiion-citisens he was known
TO be friend of the Administration, by ntor-
nation derived from other sources, open TO all !;
and IS now believed to be as honorable man,
and as trustworthy, as any other in the commu-
nifty. What reasons the Senate had for his re-
lection, is best known to that body

unnecessary fears, but we feel il our solemn du
mentioned power may, and il is hoped will, be
avoided, there is reason TO apprehend that such
III " mol be the result.
Let US suppose, then, that all OF our honorable
efforts TO avert such calamity should be una
vailing, and that war, with all its train Of mise
ries, should visit cur country, and then let US
look to the state Of our defences Is il going
too far TO say that, looking TO the employment of
steam-vesses of war in the British Navy, there
is not single point on our Atlantic board that
is not open 10 successful attack, whilst on the
Northern frontier the defences are such as 10
furnish no adequate barrier against the large an
well-appointed military force assembled in that
quarter, acting in conjunction with the naval
ornaments which could, at a moments warn
ing be brought TO bear on any point of assault
that might be designated? To carry our specu
atons little further, We will suppose that in
the event of hostties, the steamers now en-
ployed in transporting the mails to and from the
British West India Islands, were to be devoted
to the conveyance of skeleton regiments of troops
provided with clothing and munitions OIL war,
and intended to be filled up with such disco'a-
tented materials as our Southern country might
be made to furnish, what would be the condition
of our friends at the South, embarrassed by the
difficulty of concentrating their forces and bring
ing them TO act on the instant on any given
point2 II is true that there as elsewhere, oar
railroads would afford facilities heretofore I'M
known in the transmission of men and ordl-
nance ; but Of what avail would these facili-
ties be when the enemy would have entered
upon our soil, and spread dismay far and wide
With this question we shall drop the subjec for
to-day, intending to resume II, IN connection
with the mastery report of the Secretary OF the
Navy in which the views of that gentleman
have been set forth with an eloquence, strength,
and comprehensiveness only equalled by the
ardor of his patriotism.

CONGRESS-.

The NOR ming hour in the House on Friday
WAS occupied in passing several resolutions
/, r.trenchment reported by the Committee
On Expenditures The mode by which
Congress should be supplied with stationery,
was that the multiarious articles com
Drsed in the term should be supplied TO the Com
nittees. the officers of the House and 10 the
members, but that the quantity furnished TO each
one of the last mentioned should not exceed in
value the sum Of twenty five dollars for the
Iono session, and twenty dollars for the short
session. This resolution was amended by Mr..
Mason, of Maryland, who proposed that articles
Of stationery should be supplied to each mem
her and officer 10 the extent he might require,
bnt that an account of all furnished TO each
should be kept by the Postmaster and reported
10 the House. Mr. Holmes offered another sub
situte, directing that no stationery should be
furnished TO the members al public expense
on this amendment the yeas and nays were or
in the negative.
This question continued under consideration
beyond the morning hour, under suspension
of the rules proposed and carried for that pur-
pose. After SOME discussion on points of order,
arising from a motion Of Mr.. Wise to reconsider
the vote just taken-the question was put on the
amendment as amended, and finally on the pas,
sage Of the original resolution. The last was
carried.
After some conversational discussion in rela.
ZION prin cipally to further consideration Of
the report from the Committee on Elk
penditures, the House resolved itself into Com
mttee of the Whole, on private bills, Mr.. Casey
in the Chair.
Mr.. Berrien addressed the Senate, yesterday,
IN favor of Mr.. Clay's resolution restricting the
Veto power.

M-COMMITTEE ON EXPEN
DITURES

The morning hour in the House is still de-
voted to the consideration of the report made
by the Committee on Expenditures, and the
items Of retrenchment proposed are slowly dis
posed of. When all will be acted on is uncer-
tain, and the period is probably remote when
the examination Of them will be brought to a
close From the mode Of action adopted by
the Committee we conceive the establishment
Of a system Of reform utterly hopeless. The
progress is so slow and the movement so tedious,
that the House will become weared of the sub
ject and probably abandon the investigation OF
it altogether, even before the reform contem-
plated in the Capitol is completed.
The plan pursued is, in our opinion alto
natonof petty details, we would substitute gene
raj principle of reform, and arrange the Offices
and salaries according to it. And we would again
suggest the propriety of graduating the com
pensation according to the duties and response
bilities imposed. And we would expect a C ON
mttee Jealous in the cause Of thorough reform,
not TO contract their views to the limits of the
Capitol, but in fixing the number Of officers and
graduating the salaries, TO extend their observa-
ton to the Departments and other branches of
the Government, and let the same rule be OBJ
served in determining the compensation in all.

THE LOVE OF WOMAN.

There is something infinitely touching in the love
OF woman Unconscious Of defect in the object OF
its DEVOTION il knows no limit to its duration or inten
sy and becomes identified with the very existence OF
the fair being with whom it has taken up its abode
Alike fvrgetu of self under all circumstance, it Is
seduced by the ostentalous displays of wealth and
magnifcence, il its ervor abated amidst the dis
hoartening of penury and degradation. Wen
may woman say with the poet
"The hearttha once truly loves never forgels,
But as truly loves on to the close,
As the sun flower turns its God when he sets
The same look that itturned when he rose
for her affection knows no change. 1t ascenls the
scafold and raverses the battle field oil
disgrace or danger coldness can chill its ardor,
and unworthiness diminish its force whilst
gardless of the smiles of prosperity the dark lower
ngs Of adversely it identifies itself with the destinies
of its object in the cold embraces Of death itself
What contrast does it present when compared With
the calculating attachments of man. and how nobly
does cast back upon him the slanderous lmpuOlions
of fckleness and sefshness. Let us look around
and see the bearlless Indifference that too often
charact the lords of creation towards those
who have sacrificed all that is to be priced here and
hereafter at the shrine of confiding measurees aec
tion and then let u.s. if can, feel proud of the
to which we belong. The circumstance to which the
following briefnotice refers furnishes an admirable
illustration of the undying attachment that has cha
racterised Goods last best gift TO man, in the eg
catalogue of cases of which it forms single item.
Let the men read it and tell frankly if they not

THE SPECIAL MISSION.

An impression seems to prevail generally
that the inference TO be drawn from the circum-
stance of Engand's sending Special Minister
to this country is, that all difficulties betweenthe
two nations will be settled as matter OF course
Whilst our hopes are decidedly in favor of such
result we cannot be llind to the fact, that il
the views of Britain were decidedly hostile,
the present course IS the one most likely 10
be pursued by her, as calculated TO allay susp-
cion on our part, and thus prevent timely prepa-
ration Moreover, the interests involved are Of
character too momentous to be treated with
any thing like undue precipitation or hurry, and
should war be determined on, the missio in
question will make il appear to the world that
every thing had been done before recourse was
had to the last argument of nations. 1t must
not be inferred, from what we have said, that
we suspect the sincerity of the professions of
peaceable intentions held out by England all
that We wish 10 do is to guard our people
against possible disappointment
