THE NAVY.

THE NAVY.
We trust that, amid the various subjects which now
press themselves upon the attention of Congress- the
important interests of the Navy will escape atten-
tlon This, we are aware ia not the time to incur
great expense but still less is it time to allow the
right of the nation become palsied for want of
exercise and support. The material of army is ca
silly gathered, when there for fighting, and
means to pay men ; but the personnelle Of q navy is
not SO easily formed You may ship thousand men
in week, food for gunpowder but it takes years
to make them saorssailors who to kill not to be
killed The arrangement of rank, too is another i'm
men deem. 1t is cheap mode of rewardng service,
and it is most efficient mode of encouraging exer-
tons.
England owes much of the glory of hel Navy to
the tuar rank of her commanders; and star upon
epaue.te is often higher incentive or greater
reward, than addition to monthly pay. The conclu-
sion of rank, also, is an evil and abroad Cap
tains always suffer by the want of position.
But the efficiency of the Navy requires not only the
new arrangement of rank, but it has need of a new
arrangement of home direction. There is an ineff
cheney in the present organization ofhe Board which,
whatever may be the merits of the officers composing
it, felt throughout the whole service. We suppose
that the details submitted to the attention and drec-
ton of the Naval Commissioners would be too much
for the Secretary with all his other labors, but the
present Secretary has suggested mode of arrange
ment, which worthy the attention of Congress.
The improvement of the condition of the Navy is
wort by the attention of rulers If it to be kept
up at ALL it must be well sustained Its Improvement
must keep pace with the improve nent of the naves of
other nations. Our of defence must bear some
relation to the means Of offence by Others, it fails
of effect.

THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION

Must be sustained by the people. There are most
important consequences involved in the success with
which President Tylers principles of government
carried out. His acts have just thrown off from him
the countenance and support of the leaders of both
parties. But by no means are the people convinced,
that the doctrines and acts of the President not
exactly suited to the exigencies of the times.
Just look at it. For fifteen years the country has
been agitaed and torn by the violence of contendng
factions. Every body feels the need of settled gov
ernmental policy There is little to believe that
the two parties under their present leadership will con-
sent to truce, OF come to O compromise. Neither
party with its extreme measures succeed for any
great length of time. For one party show with
equal clearness the disastrous results Of the others
ultrasms, and the power of the Government will be
therefore constantly shifting from one to the other.
The pecunary embarrassment of the country will be
indefinitely prolonged and with the State debts will
in another fifteen years. dissolve the Union, and break
down the fairest edifce of freedom which human in
genuy aided by Divine wisdom, constructed on
earth.
This is our real opinion, deliberately formed, and
deliberately uttered
But John Tyler as though Heaven-drected, comes
up to the aid of his country and of humanity, in this
important crisis, Men say, that his present position
was matter of luck and chance. We more
verenty acknowledge the interposition of Divine
Providence. The same hand which removed the la
mented Harrison spared the life of John Tyler.
Whether Harrison would, or would not have taken
the same stand with Tyler, it boots not now to say
Inc ultra wings say ne would not, ana IL ther WORD
is to be taken for TRUTH then the prolonged life Of
Harrison would have been stained with the crime of
perjury, and his gray hairs would have gone down to
the dust dshonored. While we confded fully in
General Harrison's pledges to carry out the true
principles of the government and still believe him
incapable of fraud, unfegnedly thankful that
the old Hero has successor every way worthy of
him, and equal to the important crisis. John Tyler
has thrown himself between the contending parties
with daring courage and generous sef-sacrifce. AL
ready he has brought up the leaders " all standing
His pathetic appeals to- the people are heartily
sponded to from all quarters. Those responses are
given by the independent freemen in spite of the adj
verse influences, most powerfully exercised, by the
INSCRIPTIONS partisans in both ranks
To support John Tyler and his Administration is
to oppose the longer delay of settled government
policy. To oppose him is to throw to the dominion
of chance all the future hopes of the country. We
call on the people of Connecticut to come up and
maintain the President his middle ground of COM
promise. Break away from your leaders. Act indie
pendently-act conscientiousy.

EXCHED TIER PIT IAN

The report of Mr.. TaImadge in favor Of the Ex-
chequer plan of the Administration, modified by
the Senate committee is receiving much commenda-
ton and is evidently producing great effect upon the
public mind The newspapers throughout the coun-
try most noted for candor Independence, and intei-
gence are declaring in favor of the bill 1t appears
to u.s. after the little ANIMATION have had time to
give it, TO avoid in most happy degree the evils of
the United States Bank system, and the Sub treasury
system. 1t is not, like 1.-THE latter executive ma
chine, for the President neither appoint nor
Of the commissioners, without the consent
and appreciation of the Senate; and these commits
soners SO little subject to Executive CONTROL have the
sole management of the Exchequer.
The bill does not propose to give the powers OF
discounting notes and bills Of exchange; which pow
ers called into excessive exertion by General jack
son, the proximate cause of the embarrassment
and failure of the United States bank. The bill
horzes the issue of fifteen millions of paper money,
for the redemption of which there is to be the same
amount of specie in the vaults of the Exchequer.
This will withdraw, we think, from hooks and cor
ners and old stockings fifteen millions of boarded and
useless SPECIE and put in circulation fifteen millions
of paper money, of credit which cannot be impaired.
We thus shall get circulating medium better than
SPECIE and this, with the equalization of exchanges
is all that United States bank is desired for With
regard to the exchanges, they will always be equal
lied by the circulation of sufficient amount of pa
per money, at par throughout the country, far
they be equaliZed, by the influence of money-s-
suing institutions The inequality OF the exchanges
arises from two first the depreciation of the
currency Of DISTRICTS and secondly, the indebt-
edness Of individuals in those districts The former,
this Exchequer money and the sale by the Exchequer
of bills of exchange at the very lowest rates, which
the bill provides for, will remove to reasonable de-
gree. The latter will be removed in part by the
bankrupt act and be entirely removed, only as
individuals pay their debts
The provision in this bill requiring the agencies
to present weekly all the bank notes in their posses
sion for redemption in specie, will do more, if tho
roughly and punctuay enforced, to the evils of
our banking system, and keep the currency within
moderate and safe limits than any other contrivance
that has been suggested
We hope, therefore, that Congress will pass this
bill They will not, we trust, destroy it, to crafty
their anmosities, or because, Mr. Morehead said,
I" the bill comes from the Executive The people
are suffering greatly and desire relief from any and
every source they have just turned out Mr. Van Blu
rem, because, under his Administration it was an
nounced that no relief should come from the Exc
cutive !" and those who control both houses Of
Congress may take warning from his fate

was unanimous. In the House, MIR. Gushing has
presented similar plan, accompanied by report
drawn with his accustomed ability. Mr.. Davis, of
KY, (Whig) presented long counter report in
which the Exchequer is severely handled, and Ma
tional Bank urged, with arguments enforced by CO
pious extracts from the speeches Of MIR. Webster
Mr. Kennedy, of Md, (Whig) also dissented, and

that the Senate will pass Mr.. Us bill. We are rea-
