THE EXCHEQUER PLAN

We regret to hear from Washington that, accord
ing to present appearances, the Exchcquer proposed
by President Tyler will not be adopted during the
present session of Congress-a majority Of the com.
mittee to whom the subject was referred having
made an uniavorable report. The ulras of both
parties are fully determined to oppose any measure
that would give the country relief, emanating from
the Executive and called for by the People, merely
because they have idea that they thereby pro-
mote the Of their especial favorites for the
next Presidency. But we fear they have reckoned
without their host The People want them 0her
representatives. to represent the country and to pro-
mote its best interests, and lay aside their political
caucusing and inirig,tng-they want to have the
long agitated currency question speedily settled, but
want neither National Bank Van Buren's Sub
Treasury, having already condemned both these
measures in their turn by very large majorities. The
adoption of the Exchequer is the only hope of the
People TO attain sound and uniform currency. Let
their voices be heard yet during this session Of Con-
gress Send petition upon petition. Keep the ques-
ton open. Garry your principles to the baotbox,
at the coming elections, and if the next Congress,
should not adopt the proposed plan then take the
question directly before the People at the Presden-
tal election in 1874 We certain that the friends
of the President will not be afraid TO come before the
People with their distinguished Captain and their
principles.

CLAY Gu BS.--A few weeks ago we
threw out suggestion in regard to the propriety
of forming Clay Clubs in the different districts
III the county, with 4 view to the advancement
of Wing principles ard the interests Of the ac-
know edged leader OF the WI, party.
We have long been convinced by the occur
r,ncc ofnumcrons IL stances in political, as well
az other matters, Of tho importance OF carly am,
continued action, III accomplishing desired ell
feet. As far us the WING cause is concerned this
appears TO be tho casc--wc believe they always
succeed better IN early opened campaigns The
reason is pdin--huth will bear examination; the
more ii is turned about the more il recommends
itselt-Lhe more friends it gains. The leading
principles OF the Wing party are founded in
truth, and they will eventually uproot the CT
rors Of locofocosm Il is only required that their
advocates be vieilant, and with assiduity keep
them before the people.
Clay Clubs present favorable means for de-
ing this-they also afford plan Of regular and
conccr ted action We need NOT speak of the add
vantage of onro Hing our names, and meeting to-
rether to consult about matters Of interest to the
patty--this is known to every ono who has been
politician even since 1910. As far aswe have
been able to ascertain, the wings here are gensr-
ally in favor Of establishing clubs, and we have
been looking for some one TO make a start in the
matter.
Very soon after We had called the attention
| of our readers to the subject, the Wings of Port
DEPOSIT, (and there are some sterling wing;
therc.) organized themselves into a club, and
we hops to see the same thing done in every sec
ton OF the county. Let us sec who viii first

Nj AJORITY AND PLURALITY,

In answer to the question proposed by
"A Votcr,' we would say that though in
New Euglapd,ihc election Of State officers
and aud members of Congress is by
majority of the whole mum er of votes
given, vet in the election Of Electors of
President AID Vice President, a plurality
of votes only is necessary so that no
faction can interfere in that election. as it
has in many others in diflernent States in
New England This is important, as
there could be little time for repeating a
vote in any State, and less chance Of cor
recting it if no election was had at the
first voting. L. S. Ga:.
