DOINGS IN IV4SHINGTON.
Congres is obliged to adjourn on the 4th of
/March, whichis not quite two weeks off, and.
as yet the important business, that which con
cerns the welfare of the nation; is scarcely
touched. Not a.aingle aot of public impei
tanco haS yet been passed. A postage bill has
passed the House, - but has been as good as
killed in the. Senate. The Senate have passed .
a bill creating a Board of Account; for the
exiimination of private claims, but'it hat Vet(
defeated in the House. The tariff and the
question of improving rivers and harbors are •
yet to be noted upon.
0a Wednesday the Senate was engaged in a
discussion of the' resolution authorizing the
President to confer upon Gen. Scott the brevet

weahness.of the argument in, manY,
Take as an instance'tlielollewing:
4lt id a settled axiom of political calumny'
that trade betiveen nations must be barter,,or
an exchange of commodity for. commodity.—.
If'olieMation.briys the products' Of thellatair
and capital of another, it mast pay for them
in the.products:of-its.own labor or capital"—
Report, pdge
teis true, that to have free -trade, - merging
to the idee'of: Scene politiCal leConomistfi,'.•na
tions must exchange commodities, and if the
'exchange ie not of this SOrt,'thait theory fails.
But' that when one nation buys' of another it
must by some absolute necessity' pay in the-'
products of its own labor and capital, we
think is hardly tenable. We believe that
among most nations of the world, with whom
We have any intercourse, gold and silver mo
ney is current, and that their commoditi64 can
always be purchased' for gold and silver.—
Mostlrc - quetrtlyinsteitro&dealing v by barter
or exchange of commoditied, the nation buy
ing-of another her manufactures pays for them
in-money. Don't our own history
_show that
this is thd ° oase, and that whenever it is done
- Id any great extent it is ruinous to the nation
Which thus sends abroad its,money? It is to
prevent such disastrous contingencies, and to
keep our money within our own borders, that
trepre in favor of American manufacturing.—
The free trade men all take for granted that
we can maid' grain cheaper than any other:
part of the globe, and that if we buy our
manufactured.artiolcs from England she will
be forced to take our agricultural productS in
exchange. May England not take our money
and buy her grain where she can get it cheap',
er_thanzwe can furnish it? There are parts
of the world, and free traders don't deny it,
where grain can be bought cheaper than from
the United States. We think the fallacy of
'most of their arguments consists in consider
ing England.and this country the entire world,
which the Geography informs us is a mistake;
We give another extraat from the Report:
"But the idea of a home market is a Wilt ,
eious one. The manufacturers would consume
the Same amount of ftOicultural products
wore they engaged in the business of agricut 2
ture themselves that they - now consume."—
Report, page 7.
A most powerful argument. Grant that
manufacturers would consume mare if they deli
-
voted themselves to agriculture, which they
most undoubtedly would'; as the exercise of
'agriculture produces higher health and better
appetites than any other pursuit! Still, when
they did devote themselves to agriculture they
would undoubtedly expect not only to raise
their own bread but to have also sonic .wheat
and other agricultural productions to sell,
which must increase the supply and by a real
axiom of political economy diminiSh the price.
The Report speaks of the Protectiveystem
es having origituded. in a dark "age.' how
pleasrint it must be to Messrs. Bonham and
Brindel to have the sun of truth_ shine upon
them, when of Pennsylvania politicians they
_bask.in.ite-rays-nlmost-alene-l—ln-tber-dark
nos, we presume, are .Mr. Clay, Mr. Webster,
•(the latter of whom could perhaps answer Mr.
Bonharift - diarndu(ionaiwargument against_ 4,
tariff in another part of the report if he were
to try!) ti number of :other sagacions-states
men and nearly all the practical business men
in the country.' True, Mr. Bonham niay say
that he ought to understand something about
the value of labor, after writing this famous
thirty-six manuscript page' report, and we
think he ought, too, but not of produciire la
bor. We have no further room to follow the
report without wearying our readers.
WHO ARE INTERESTED ?
The rich man can take care of himself. lie
is, to a considerable extent, equally indepen
dent of free trade and protective tariffs. Not
the poor mani His capital consists of his
physical and mental energies. 'What ho wants
is work. It is of vast "consequence to him
whothes'it is the palicy og the party in power
. industry,--T
policy in which he Is interested is the policiy
which cremes a talemane(for his labor. That
system which will moat effectually scour° em=
plOyment to the Mechanics and, Laborers of
the country, is the system which the mechanic
andlaboyer should support. 'When stripped
of the miserable sePliTstries which theorists
attempt to cast around it, it requires no pro
found knowledge tm see that a system which
looks to the importation of eVery species of
manufactured fabrics, is not a system calcula
ted to encourage Home Industry. lf we want
to .give employment to American artisans we
musn't go to England to buy our cutlery, our
broadcloth, our calicoes, or any other of the
thousand commodities which can be' just as
well manufactured in this country.
Those partizans who say that they are the
friends of the working men of the country, and
still oppose a ronsoneble protective tariff, can
not be sincere. - What the working man wants
is work. When there is an active demand for
his labor, ho is rich: Whom there - hi no such
demand, ho is "poor indeed." The system
advocated by the Whig party, if carried out,
will create a demand for labor at home: The
system advocated by the Locefoco-party,..will
create a demand for labor in Europe. This is
the simple difference between the two systems.
What working man can_hesitato for a moment
which system to choose? And yet' thousands
of Mechanics and lalmiers, bewildered by ' the
delusive theories of the advocates of free trade;
aro among the,sturdiest adherents of a' party
whose 'whole Policy is diametrically opposed

Some such system is' uch needed in - Penn-.
sylvania,more so indeed, than in, any other
State. This would be free Banking, .'
regulated
by law, and Would do away, at least in a good .
degree, with the ottomans amount of Private
Banking now existing amongst us, regulated
by nothing but the caprice and cupidity of one
party, and the necessities of the-other. Every
city, town, and hamlet in the State, is oppres
sed and cursed by this system of private bank
ing, which no law , can regulate or eontrolA„
It is safe. Nothing but the total progintlbn
of the credit of tne: Commonwealth can sub
ject the bill holder to loss. It - is republican.-
It throws the business' of banking open to all
who will comply with the conditions of the law.
It is patriotic—hecauso, _it *ill take-our
State Stocks out of the hands of- r foreigners,
and keep among our own people the large a
mount they pay annually in - the - shape - of in-. ,

capital, but as a basis of greatly increased and
perfectly sound circulating medium, tine in
fusing life anthert,ergy,into every department
of business, and developing our unbounded
natural resources. It is wise—because, it will
convert our debt from ng an onerous bur
den to an element of inion - libd prosperity. It
will emphatically be "making the best of a
had matter.'.!
There i2..as we learn from Harrisburg, a
fah• prospect \ of the free banking law passing
I the Present Legislature. le Reading a large
meeting of all parties in favor of .it has been
held, and the members from Berks will proba

JUDGE LEWIS'S OPINION
The last number of the Lou' Journal, edited
by the lion. Ltd.'s LEWIS, PresideneJud i ge
.of
the-Lancaster—judicial — distriet; — contains — th,
following opinion given in an able article on
"the banking system." Judge Lewis is 11;011
known as a locofoco in politics:
There.is no reason why the people `should
not be secured by a deposite of reliable and
convertible stocks to guaranty the redemption
of the circulation. There is no reason why
the amount of circulation shall be increased
and diminished at the pleasure of a few bank
ing corporations, without the knowledge or
control of thct public authorities as welt as
without security. There is - nri reason by
the profits of banking shoUld be granted,' as a
monopoly, to a few favored corporations and
withheld from the people at large. There is
no reason why the State should not provide
for the gradual payment of her public debt by
adhpting a system of banking, founded upon.:,
the deposit° of State stocks, with a provision
that one per cent per annum, upon all stocks
so deposited, should be appropriated to the
gradual payment of the debt. The piesene
President of the United. States has expressed
himself decidedly in favor of this System. It
has operated with entire safety ha New York,
where it hay men confined an it should be• to
the stocio,pf, the State.or the Union. Among
disintaiUsted and intelligent men there is no
crones
banking interest is so powerful, in Pennsylva6
mitt and withal So shrewd in their measeres to
sustain the present system, that it may take
time for trutil, prevail ns it must in the
end. „
FREE TRADE iv GREAT Bt . cor
respondent observes:—according to the tables
accompanying the Report of, the Secretary of
the TreaSary, the exports of tobacco for the
year ending July 1, 185,0, amounting to 101,-
501 hogsheads, valued -at $5,844,207. Of
these 21,047 hogsheads were exported to Great
Britain, the value of which is put down at
$1,771,000. The duty in Great Britain being
three shillings - sterling per pound, or about
$BOO, per hogshead, that country collected
and will collect, when the whole is taken out
of bond for consumption, $17,557,600, which
sum is about the annual revenue the kingdom
derives from the duty levied - en - a potion 9f
the products of ionic half dozen of the Stales
of this, Union. This is free. trade in .Great Bri
tain! And we reciprocate ltlby permitting
her to flood i thc country with her goods at the
expense of our own industrial pursuits;
THE SUSQUEIIANNA BANK SWINDLE.— The

49th Regiment of Maryland Militia; under the
command of Lieut.. Col. Veazy, in the service
of the 'United States in 1814,' that all the mem-,

designate, and upon good farming land, so far
as the same can be ascertained." Mr. Squire
therefore suggests to claimants in his compa
