Among the many devices of llio enemy to defeat our candidate—tlie Hirin' has heen seised on ns ihc most plausible. It happens, however, that the Op position did uni examine tlio mailer closely, before the cry was made.

Tho Inst Standard of Union, however. clinches the subject, h bits the nail on the bead; and pet-imps our opposing friends would now rat her they bad let llio Tariff question sleep.

Tlio inrscigo of I lie President at thu called ses sion nl Congn*** in 1337, is liefure u#,und ulthuiigh Wcspiead it heiino our readers at thu limu, still there is food for thought in every line of It, and we shall proceed to dwell hriclly on smuo ol its lending piopo*iiion*. At the s iiiie time we stud, lake up the leading objection* to that measure, nil I dispose of them a* best we can. The grant uml most popular argument* made use of by the "Whigs,’’ against the Sul,-Tii-u»ury, are ill it it would increase the p .trollage of iho Execu tive, uml allow him to wield the combined inline of the "pursu am) the sword." That these argu ments ura without tlm semblance of a foundation, we shall presently -bow. There h nothing new ill the project of a Sub-Treasury. It ha* virtually ex. is’ed for years in the collection of the Revenue.— All such nliiccr* an* uppoiuicd by the President f wiili thu mlvicu and consent of liiuSen iio. And if these officers nrc worthy of tho trust of collecting then* imposts, ill *y are ci-ilainly worthy ofreluiaing the amounts in their custody, until called for. Wi; wriU introduce mo word. of Mr. Vax Uuukn him self:— "The power and influence supposed to bocminoc- toil with the custody and disiior-eoiunt of tlm pub lic money, are topics on which the public mind is unltiriillj mill, with great prnpii. ty, peculiarly si n- sitivi*. Much Inis linen said on them, in reference to thu proponed separation nfihuGi.vrrnuicni from tlie bunking hwliiuituus; mid surely no one cun object to any appeal* or aniiiuidvursions'oiithe subjeii, which tire consistent with facts, and evince a proper re spect for llio intelligence of tlie people. If n chief magistrate may bo allowed to speak fot himself, mi such a point, l can truly suy, tliut to mo nothing .wuulil ho toon* uecoptnble than tlm withdrawn' f,um the Executive, m tho gr. ntest practicable «*xte-*l, of ujl concern in tho custody uml disbursement of ihe public revenue} not tliut 1 would shrink from uny lespmwiliihty enst opno me by the .iut.es nftoy office, but bucuose it is my linn bulief, thin ilscupii- city for usefulnos* is ill no deg tee promoted hy the possession of uny patronage net uciuully necessary to tliepcrforuianco of these duties. But under iiur present form of Government, ilw intei-veiilioii of the Ex.-cutivo officers in the custody und disbursement of lliu public money seems to be ""“voidable} and before it can be admitted ilmt the inlhimicu nml powcrofiiie Executive would lie in creased by d|s| ring with tho agency of banks, the nature of that intervention in such an auency must lie raicfoily regimled, anil a comparison must bo instituted hetweon its extent in the two cases. The llevi noe cull on y he collected hynlliceis ap pointed by the President, wiili tlm advice nnd cun- sent of tlm Semite. The public loonies, in the first instance, must, therefore, in all cases, pas* through hands selected l.y tlio Executive. Other officers appointed in the same way, m us in some cure., hv tin; President ulotio, must ui*o be entrusted wiiji them when drawn fur the purpose of disbursement. It is tints seen til l!, even wln-ii bank* aii-eii.ployed, the public fluid* mii*t twice pus* through tit • hands iff Executive officers. Reside* this, the imud ol tho Treasury Depuiiuienl, who, holds his . Hire ut ilic pleiunre of toe Piosi le il.iiud mine otliei ollic-is of •the same department, must necessarily be invested with more m less power in the selection, conliuu- mice, and itipoi vision, of the hanks tliut may lie em ployed. Tin; question is thuit iiurrowed to thu sin gle point,whether, in tli intermediate stage between Hit culleetionmY.1 iliMmm-meiii of the public money, the agency of hanks is necessary to avoid a dutigoi- gcr.Mi* ext-nsioa of tlio tiutrojiugo and influence of the Executive? But it is clear that the cennociinn of the Executivo with powerful mo'ieyed institu tions, cupuldu of miiiitteriug to tin* interests of men in pultun wlicit; oi.^ in*/ iiuisi iiccusNioitt to corrup tion, is less Ruble to uhusc, limn his constitutional agency in the appointment und control of tho few public officer* required by the proposed plan? Will the public money, when in their hands, bo necessarily ex posted to uny improper interference on tin; p .rt ol the Executive? May it not In: hoped that n prudent four of public jealousy and disappro bation, in a tout tor so peculiarly exposed to them, will deter him from any such interior lice, oven if higher motives bo found inoperative? May not Con gress so regulate, by law, tin* duty of those otlicuts, ami subject it to such supervision and publicity, us .in provout the possibility ..fuiiy seriousiihuseon lilt* pai l of the Executive? nnd is then: equal room for such super vision nod publicity in u connect inn with banks, uctinu under tin; shield of corp irate immuni ties, nml conducted by persons iiresponsible to the Government nml the people! It i* hviicvcd that a considerate ami candid iqvesiigaiimi of |he*e ques tions w ill result in thu conviction, tliut llio pr«po*ed plan is far less liable to objection, on the scum of Executive patronage ami cuatrol, than nny hank a- gem.-y that has been or can lie, devised," The tibsuidity of supposing llmt tho President could exert any improper inllueune with tlioso in whilst! hand 1 the Uevenue would tcuiuin is triunr plnmlly exposed in the above extract, lluvv could the Piesident possibly make the whole budy of men, who would bo selected lur that highly trustworthy purpose, subservient In bis will?

The only connexion they would have with the Govern ment would be through the secretary of thu trcn*uiy. The President again says “Tlio extent of the business to In; transacted has iilroudy been stilted; ami in re»pf*ctin the umountof money with which tliv officers employed would be entrusted at uny one time, it appears that, assuming u balance of li\u millions to lie n> nil lim- s kept in tlm Treasury, uml the whole of it left m the hands of the collectors und receivers, the prupnriioii of each would nut OAC. ed nil overage of $3H,b()0; but that deducting one mi lion for the use ut iff- mint, uml avstiiniiig lite lemuiniug four nulliuns to he in the hands of one half of the pi cue. it number of officers—u supposition deemed more likely in correspond with the fact—the sum in tlio htin.ls of each would still bn less than tlio uiuouul of most of the bonds now ta ken from the receivers of public, money, "The pi iucipal officers whoseuppoiutinentsvvniild became necessary umlerihi* plan, inking tin* lur *i-*t number stiege-ied by the Serrrtnrj of tin; Trnasorj, would not exceed ten. nor llieuddilioutil • Xpert,,-*, nl the snmeestimrtie, $<iO,Ol)U ajear.
