TIE BANK OF ENGLAND.-Thc buildings
cover about three acres Of ground Many of
its rooms are copied from the classic models of
Greece and Rome. The employees number
about one thousand Several of the officers
reside in the bank The notes redeemed each
day are checked, cancelled and put away in
boxes. After keeping them ten years they
are burned. The accumulation of the last ten
years, now in the vaults of the bank, amount
TO three thousand millions of pounds and vet
any Of these notes can be referred to in min
ute, and the history of lis issue and its return
given. The bank does all its own printing and
several presses are kept busy. Everything is
done by machinery-the note is not touched
by the pen before it goes out held in my
hand, yesterday, one note for million of soy

In the bullioR-r0om ingots of gold were piled
up like cords OF wood, and silver bars in vast
mountains. The machines for detecting light
coin, and for cutting them are exceedingly
curious and vet simple Every bankers de-
posit is weighed and all the light pieces cut
nearly in two and returned the next day. The
system of the bank is as perfect aud exact as
clock-work. And yet in spite ofall precaution
some small forgery is almost daily detected
But since the great forgery committed by
AxtelI for G3G0, ,0OO, the bank has Lot lost many
heavy sums although in 1922 capital punish

81 old foEies predicted that everybody hard

ray We publish, on the first page,
portion Of the minority report on the
frauds in the Navy Yard, and feel assured
that the blush of shame will mount to the
cheek Of every honest man who reads the
accounts Of the deep disgrace brought,
upon the government and people by
trusted officials. We have been satisfied,
for years, that democracy maintained its
ascendancy by bribery, and frauds upon
the ballot-box, but the details of its mode
of proceeding, are startling, in view of
the studied and systematic plan concocted
and carried out By means of perfect un-
Outstanding Between all the guilty parties,
from the President down to master work
man. What a caricature of a free and
enlightened government does that report
present Instead of virtuous and in
telligent people exercising, with manly
independence, the right of suffrage, and
guarding, with "eternal vigilance" the
liberty bequeathed to them, we find the
government in the hands of demagogues,
elevated to power, by mercenary horde
of foreign and native loafers, who, un-
fortunately hold the balance of power,
and WELD it for the benefit of the highest
bidder.
| But let it be borne in mind, that the
frauds, here alluded to, are confined to a
single branch of the public service, and
to single locality; and if the Navy Yard
of New York is pension Office for the
contiguous Congressional Districts, and a
depot for fraudulent voters, it is fair to
presume that every other navy yard in the
United States is perverted to the same
corrupt uses And if this be true of the
Navy Yards, no one can doubt that every
branch of the public service is chargeablt
with similar abuses. The party that ha:
so systematically reduced one branch to {
corrupt political machine, by whose power
locofocoism is to maintain its ascendancy
has not failed to place all the branches
upon the same footing, and at cost, b.
democratic confession, of thirty, or fort.
millions of dollars per annum. TIL
picture is revolving one, and even t.
some leading democrats, who, with tn
Philadelphia Press, insist that the demo
cratic party shall not be held responsible
for the gross corruptions that have bee
exposed to public view.

Universal Suffrage and the
Secret Ballot.
RESPECTFULLY,
March 9th, 1858.

The December number of Blackwood's
Magazine contains an article in which the
late speech of Mr.. Bright at Birmingham
is assailed with great severity, Ofcourse,
the United States come in for a large share
Of vituperation, since they seem to be an
object of particular admiration with the
retormer, MIR. Bright is great advocate
of universal suffrage, and of the vote by
ballot, and the reviewer is bitterly opposed
to both. Thus far we cannot but think
the latter is entirely in the right.-Univer-
sal suffrage, the election of judges by the
people, and the vote by ballot have, in our
own judgment, done more to corrupt the
sources government, and Of justice, than
all the other causes combined, that have
led to the rapid deterioration of our coun ,
try, within the last twenty years, Add to
these the principle of making all appoint
ments to Office dependent upon partizan
services, thereby opening a door to cor
ruption, which it is impossible to close, and
we have a full view of all the evils Locofo-
coism has brought upon the country

R4~ The Jeffersonian will accept our
thanks for his complimentary notice of us
in his Wednesdays paper. Abuse from
such quarter, is the highest praise, and
a denial of facts, the strongest presump-
tive evidence of their truth. Had the edi-
tor looked to the debates in the Senate, he
would have seen that we stated the num-
Der of Postmasters correctly, and whether
the President knows anything about the
appointment of all of them, or not, they
are appointed by his overseers, and are
none the less his slaves.
1t has been repeatedly charged in, and
out of, Congress, and we have seen no de-
NAL, that the President removed every
Postmaster in Illinois, who favored Doug
lass. Were they removed for incompetent
cy? 1t was not so charged. Then for
what? Because they were not sLdves to the
Presidents will The fact might be stated
in milder language, but it is strictly true
and though it may be offensive to call
things by their right names, it is only So
to those who feel the sting of the simple
truth. Armed, as we are, with truth, jus
tice, and principle, we can afford to laugh
at the petulance of those who writhe un-
der the lash we apply, and shall not suffer
ourgood nature to be ruffled by hard words,

The time is approaching
when the Opposition Of Montgomery will
have to select standard bearer for the
coming canvass, and looking over the
numerous roll of our talents and capable
men, can think Of no one who combines
so admirably all the qualities of a good
candidate and good representative as
Mr.. NEADHAM B. DUDLEY, Esq, Mr..
Dudley was tired to the law in his early
life, and practiced his profession for seve-
raj years with most unqualified success.
After which he retired and engaged in the
honorable pursuit of farming in which he
has attained enviable success, and accuma-
lated very handsome competency That
he is sufficiently acquainted with law to
make him good legislator. He is linden
tilted with the large farming interest Of
our county, and will know and appreciate
their wants and withal he is strong, poin.
ted speaker, a man Of superior good sense
end very popular manners. If he will
consent to the use of bis name in this con
nection he will carry the whole opposition
and little over.

Mr.. EDIToR-There are reasons why
we should begin in earnest to settle down
on some one to represent us in the lower
branch of the next Legislature. The
Democracy are at work-their forces are
rapidly organizing, and might defeat us
were we to lie idle and place too much re-
lance in our strength. Then let us have
a man who can carry the town vote and
the country people at the same time. We
want man of strength in every portion of
the county-and man, at the same time,
who is suited to the position. 1 believe
but speak the sentiments of the entire
country, or a large majority of them,
when l say that William H. Crouch, Esq,
is the man for the occasion. He is a man
of fine natural ability-a good speaker
and is popular with the people of the town
and country. Being practical farmer
he possesses all the qualities that will en-
dear him to- the farming and industrial
interests of the COMMUNICATIVE taken
with his natural gentlemanly department
will qualify him to meet the wishes of our
party. Then Jet us have convention
say on the 1st Monday in April-and
nominate him, and all will be well.
