Tvlek and the re port of Mr. Forward have produced their fruit a bill Irom the Uommiuee of Ways and Means m the House id' Representatives to save the Treasury from ihe two furth coming deficits aud its present slaie of sus pension. A deficit of three millions in ihe present quarter, and five niill.uiis in ihe liisi quarter of the next year, were an nounced in ihe Treasurer's report, and the suspension of the Government was an nouiiced in all the New York papers; and for these evils and disgraces no open or iiuwily remedy was proposed by ibe Presi dent or his t5ecietary, but they have com municated with the Committee of Ways end Means, and the remedy makes its first appearance Irom thai .quarter. And what is it? A bill to sell Government stock, as the phrase is. at w hat il will bring, and lo make Treasury notes continue to bear inter est after the year is out for which they were issued. The English of this is, that the Government is to borrow money by paying one hundred dollars hereafter lor less thai; one hundred dollars received now! and lhat Treasury notes, instead of being redeemed when due, are to he unredeemed, bearing nilerest for an indefinite length ol time ; thus creating a national debt, by Irani!; for the Government, like a spend thrift, is to be shaved on its ov n loans in market, and. like an insolvent, is to let its notes lie m lite hands of creditors, drawing interest. This is permanent debt and frau dulent debt and precisely the way the Brit ish debt was created, as shown by Uoloncl Bent. ni, in Ids speech on the Cabinet ex chequer. In lhal speech the policy of the j Administration was distinctly repealed, and shown to he what this new bdl is lisguis ed, fraudulent, permanent national dehi dirotigh iho instrumentality of loans and Exchequer bills ihe loans to b.; aecoiding io t':o Uiiush plan ol i'-vtng stock ! r one Mimtred, Ainu irf.'ix log tt-s than iiat s.iti. a:,.t l i';c ! it.-y ,; ;. to I:, c .on- i..,- y. ..re ooa at i,. at po.tll, and tiie li-i-io-. d utcii ;il Ihe in . id ol tiiC Govci l. menl relnse to lake ti.e ttedy coioikou sense and bohoiabie cour.se, that id ncaiinig the lau l revenue and restoring hard mom y payments to the Federal Treasury. fhe.se common sense remed.es are re jected by the men in power; and why? ! because' ihev mean to have two things a high tariir and a national debt, for the foundation 'f a National or Treasury Bank. For lhrse reasons three parties work together, the U igh Tariff party, the National Bank parly, and the Exchequer Bank party. Tnese three work together, aid to all ihesP the throwing away if the land revenue is an indispensable step in their policy.
