on this subject, W. propose to give uuer4nce 10

maintaining towards the Chief Magistrate of the
Republic the most respectful language and de-
portnent.


# stood among the very first and highes; arti-
clrs in the creed Of the Whlgs, that the Con-tu-
ION and the Government were not safe with the
public treasury in Presidential hands; and that
the country never could be truly prosperous, with

whole course Of action and policy, On the part Of

To establish a better fiscal system, and to restore
national currency, were duties, required more
than any others promised ottener, and moe sol
EMMY, than any others and so II was universally
understood. When the Wings sought Office and
power, it was that they might be enabled TO ac-
complish this very REFORM and they expected 20
accomplish it, OF course, by some appropriate
measure TO be devised, and through the nsiru-
mentality OF those whom they should elevate 10

was, among all parties and IN all quarters. that

If such an Institution should be found necessary,

as il was almost universally supposed il would be,
then such M Institution was 10 be created; and
so common was this expectation and hrlIei, that
it is hardly conceivable how any person IN any

pledged to make his course hamou.ze with that
of his party on a matter so vital 10 the country,
and to the faith which that party had pledged to
the country


When Congress came together in May last, it
is understood that there was an opinion and con
viction nearly unanimous among the Wings OF
both Houses, that an Institution OF the sort Just
referred to was indispensable. THIS opln!on and
resolution, once cast into the form OF law should
in our judgment, have been conclusive with Mr..

himself, in answer TO nierrogatives before his
election TO the Wee Presidency, ~ favor OF the
Ccnsttutionaty and eXpediency OF National

We think this necessity referred ltscli exclusively

whatever TO the President, who, Ia the creed OF
the Wings at least exercises no part Of the Legs.
