This plan requires all public dues to be collected in gold and silver by the hands of collecting officers, appointed by the Presi dent, to keep and disburse them, to pay the expenditures ofthe Government, and he re moves them at pleasure. To remove them at pleasure by one man!.. 4 -- ' The annual amount of the expenditures is forty millions dollars. If specie is scarce, where is it to be collected to pay the annual (forty millions dollars) expenditures! It would take 2 0 ,000 collecting officers lo carry bags of this large metallic sum ($40,000,000) on their backs, or 1,000 wagons, or 250 steam boats to carry such a sum from point to point" It is indeed a ; policy-to-pay the salaries of so many collecting officers, to pay a great deal of money for carrying and guarding the specie; to pay for feed. ing horses; to pay for the bills of the collect ing officers wherever they go; also to pay all expenses and troubles which would in crease several hundred thousand, or eveq millions bfdollars every year , and also to pay for the Treasury buildings and strong iron Doxcs., . : . The 20,000 collecting officers are obli ged to hire 40 or 60,000 to guard them against the robbery to which they are ex Dosed, and also to nav for the diets. lodg ing and other bills of these 40 or 60,000, and all its expenses whatever on the respon sibility ofthe people. Does this look like economy! ; If the 20 ,000 collecting officers run away with the forty millions of dollars, and their securities run away to save ano ther forty millions of dollars, or the forty millions of dollars are. without any expen sive guards. Does this look like safety! 30,000 collecting officers might be obliged to be taxed a certain per cent, of their sala ries to buy 20 " or 200,000" votesTon pain of being dismissed from office. - Does this look like the high and precious privilege of free choice and of Tree opinion! - - MOBTGAGB BETTER THAS SPB-TtXASITBT. If the amount of the duties collected from the Custom House in New; York, or Any other port, is about one million of dollars every month, the custom house collector should mortgage his property two million, or perhaps efte- million ' and five hundred thousand dollars. -If he has not property enough to that amount, he and his friends mortgage their property to the required amount. If, upon examination made every month by the Secretary of the Treasury, the custom house collector is honest and correct, he (the Secretary of the Treasury) should keep the mortgage m his own hands till ho resigns the office of custom house collector, or is removed. If he is deficit, (any month) he and his mortgage friends are bound to pay it up, or their property be sold to satisfy h. ( Tliisfould. induce the collectors to discharge tlieir duties careful ly and faithfully. "ortlcd, disenthralled mortgage is far safer than persona security. If the Banks arc bound by . mortgage to keep or pay over any part or the whole amount of public deposites in specie or pa per, whenever ordered by the Government, the Bub-Treasury is useless. ' There is no reason to suspect the hones, ty and credit of the responsible Banks. I have very great reasons to fear that the Government will &tact gold and silver to buy. bank panes to speculate to enrich themselves according to the deep plans of party spirit. 1 do not fear very much the Sub-Treasury's making the common people poor; but I dread very much its tyranny of party spirit, dictation and corruption Over public opinion and liberty. - :' X' -.

We are happy to be able to state that letters have been received from the Exploring ex pedition of as late date as the 13th of March; at which time the two larger vessels of the Squadron had returned to Sydney (South Wales) from its cruise m the Southern oeas. A copy ot the Sidney Herald of the 13th of March has reached our hands, from which we copy the following highly- interesting account of the results of this cruise: ' -v . ' .'-. Fran the 8idn?y (S.

Amongst the arrivals to be found in our shipping list of this day is .that of the Uru ted States Ship Vtncenncs, under the com mand of Charles Wilkes, Esq. The Vincemirt has been absent 'from this port almost eighty days, most of which time has been spent in bouthern expIortOjon; and w.are happy to have it in our power to an nounce, on the highest authority, that the researches of the exploring squadron after a southern continent have been completely suc cessful. .The land was first seen on the morning ofthe 19th of January in latitude 64 degrees 20 minutes south, longitude 154 decrees ,18 minutes east, , The Ptdeocl, (which ship arrived in our harbor on the 22dd ult much disabled from her contact with the ice,) we loam, obtain- ed soundings in a high southern latitude, and established DCyond doubt the existence of land in that direction.- But the Vincennrt, more fortnate in edtaping injury, comple ted the discovery, and ran down the coast from 154 degrees 18 minutes to 97 degrees 45 minutes cast longitude, about 1,700 miles, within a short distance of the land, often so near as to get soundings with a few fathoms of line, during which time she was constantly, surrounded by ice islands and bergs, and experienced many heavy gales of wind, exposing her constantly to shipwreck. We also understand that she has brought several specimens of rock and earth procured from the land, some of them weighing upwards of 100 pounds. . It is questionable whether this discovery can be of any essential benefit to commerce; but it cannot be otherwise than riighly grat ifying to Captain Wilkes and the officers engaged with him in this most interesting expedition, to have brought to a successful termination the high trust committed to them by their country; and it is hoped that so noble a commencement in the cause of science and discovery will induce the Gov. eminent of the United States to follow ap by other expeditions that which id now on the point of termination. .

Lynchburg Virginian, ' - . j"" -i HaRRISO V TOnrtAEITT-TBOJIE. One of the latest and most pitiful efforts to deceive the people, is the republication from the Globe, by most' of the Van Buren pa pers, of an article exhibiting the votes for Governor in Ohio some twenty years ago, in which election some four thousand votes were cast for Harrison, when it was well known he was no candidate. And, so far from proving what they desire to prove by it, the document establishes the very oppo site, that den Harrison was then, as now, th3 most popular man in Ohio. In whai election In any State in the Union has anj man who was not a candidate for an office received four thousand votes, when there,, were two other candidates for the office; And Who will believe that, under such drcunistances, arnan receiving such a number of "votes could be otherwise than popular. r .t - These very veracious prints are very careful to omit' telling their readers that Gen. Harrison beat their favorite, Van Bu ren, near 10,000 votes in Ohio for Presi dent at the lost election. Such news as that partakes too much of truth to find a place in their columns. .. .

' ' Thunder-storms are generally more se- vcrcon the banks of rivers, than at a dis tance, yet we believe that steam-boats, al though containing a vast amount of iron and other kinds of metal, are seldom struck by lightning. We do not recollect a single case although it is hketv that some in stances are on record. Why are they less likely to be struck by the electric fluid than sailing ships on the ocean, which appears to be the factl . We pause for a reply. Boston Journal. r The explanation is easy. All the iron about a steam boat operates as a conductor, or a set of conductors, and draws off the electric fluid silently from the surrounding atmosphere. If a single rod will ordinarily protect a dwelling from lightning, how much more should a hundred tons of iron extending upward many feet above the pro menade deck, and downward to within a few inches of the water, protect a steam boat? It would be a miracle, almost, if a steam-boat should be struck with lightning. under such circumstances.'-Yet we recel. lect reading, 15 or 20 years ago, of a young woman being killed by lightning on board a steam-boat on the Mississippi. No other instance of the kind ever came to our knowledge. IV. Y, Jour. Com.' . Louisiana election.
