From the Richmond Enquirer.
We have examined the present Sub-Treasury
Bill: It is astronger measure than the bill of
. -the extra session. In spreading Mr. Calhoun’s
. principle over six‘ years instead of four, it is so
far milder in easing off the banks. In permit-
ting payments at \Vashington, atrd issuing certi-
‘lficates to be received for the public lands, it
‘softens the requisitions of the specie circular.
But itetnbraces the feature ofReceivets General,
which was not found in the former bill. This is
. an importantinnovation in ottr system of finance.
,. It introduces a new class ofofficers. for preserv-
ting the ctrstoms, distinct from the officers ofcol-
dedion. We fear this would be only the enter-
iing wedge. It is the mustard seed, as Mr. Rives

It distinguishes the money of the country from
that of the government. by refusing after the

hard money or Government paper. This sys-

from the pen of J. P. King, the ex-senator from

too, with those who state the fact, that this sys-
tem may work better and easier to the little

Mode of Voting.
According to the laws passed at the session of
5
x
I ;_‘the General Assembly in December, 1836. an
‘additional ballot box is to be provided, at the
Electors meeting in April, for the reception of
votes for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Sec-
'retar_\_i, Treasurer. Conrptroller, Senator, and
” member of Congress, which ballot box shall. at
an rate, be*o'pened at 11 o’clock. A. M. (and
,.ma be opened earlier.) and slrallcontinue open
.until 5, P.,M.-‘on said day, when the same shall
be closed. »The electors may vote for all the
qfliccrs above named, at the same tinre, with
written orprirrted ballots. and all the names,
~ with ‘the otlice annexed to each, may be on one
‘ll 4 piece of paper. This alteration in our mode of
votingis ‘of itnmense advantage towards secur-
iogafair election and a full vote. and will save
A vast deal oftime. .
' The presiding officers of the Electors meet-
ing are requiredto make. or cause to be made a
record ofthe name of every person voting for the

‘posited with the Town Clerk. A penalty is pro-
vided to guard against illegal voting. and also for
votingin two towns on the same day. See pages
62 atrd 63 ofthe acts of D_ec_ember, 1836. At
page 57 of the some acts. is a law authorizing
tfivns in this state which elect two representa-
tives, to agree-at a special town meeting, by a
‘vote of two-thirds to vote for both representatives

amendment to the Constitution allows either
written or printed votes to be used for them.

\V'hlg Meeting at Ridgcfield.
In pursuance ofa call lronr the town commit-
tee, and in consequence oftlte persevering efforts
at \Vashington to establish an independent Go-
vernment, an independent Treasury. an inde-
pendent army ofoffice holders and tax gatlrerers,
and a dependent People. the Republican Elec-
tors of the town of Ridgefield, assembled in un-
usual numbers, at the house ofAmos Smith. on
the evening of the 19th inst. to notninatc candi-
for Representatives. make arrange-
ments for the approaching election, and to ex-
dates
press their sentiments with regard to the destruc-
tive measures of the‘ National Administration.
The Meeting was organized by the choice of
HARVEY SMITH, Esq. as Chairman, and
Riclrurcl Randall and Ifugh S. Banks, as See
retaries.
On nomination. a committee was appointed to
present to the meeting the names ofsuitable per-
sons to represent the town at the next session of
the Legislature. The committee reported the
names of CZAR JONES, Esq. and MAJOR
BOUGHTON, Esq. as candidates for 1st and
2d Representatives. Report accepted without
a dissenting voice.
Committees of vigilance were then appointed,
consisting of several persons in each School Dis-
trict, to use their exertions to secure the election
of the above named candidates.
The following preamble and resolutions, were
then presented by a committee appointed for
that purpose, and were adopted by the meeting:
\Vhereas, our country has been plunged into
bankruptcy and min. by the nral-adtrriuistratiou
and ruinous experiments ofthe National anti State
Administrations. it becomes us as a people in
whom the power is vested, to arise in ourstrength,
and put down by ourstrffrages-, all those who have
been instrumental in bringing want and poverty
upon us as a nation. and individuals, and to use
all honorable means to elect such men to fill our
public offices, as will legislate for the good ofthe
whole people, in preference to a party.
Resolved, That we disapprove of the Sub-
Treasury Sclreme.as calculated to extend Execu-
tive patronage—to create a large nttmber of
olfice holders, who must be fed at the public
crib, and do the pleasure of the Executive; and
also, as a meastrre calculated more to place the
debtor in the power of the creditor, and to raise
upa monied aristocracy. than any measure ever
devised by this or any other Government.
Resolved, That the Legislature of 1837. in
taking pay for more titne and travel. than they
were entitled to bylaw, and in refusing to re-
appoint our tnost efficient Justices, when request-
ed so to do, receive our unqualified disapproba-
tton.
Resolved. That we approve ofthe nomination
ofthe Whig candidates forstate oflieers. made at
the Convention at Hartford, in February last.
and will use all honorable means to promote
their election.
Resolved, That we also approve the nomina-
tion of RORY STARR. Esq. as candidate for
Senator ofthe 11th District, and pledge ourselves
to use all honorable meausto ensurebis election.
Voted, That the doings of this meeting be
signed by the Cltainnan and Secretaries, and
published in the Norwalk Gazette.

05- We trust that every \Vhig Elector will
bear in mind. that among the duties of the Le-
gislature which is to be chosen on Monday next,
will be that of appointing a successor to John
M. Niles, whose present tertn of oflice expires
on the 4th of March next. This circumstance
invests the coming election with an extraordi-
nary importance. I: is not only a matter of the
highest moment to the people of this state, but
one of deerrinterest to all the Whigs in the
Union. The floor of the U. S. Senate is the
proud areas on which are fought the most de-
cisive battles of Constitutional liberty. That is
the high and commanding position which should
be occupied by the noblest and the mightestof
our sons. N0 cringing subservient to Executive
dictation-—uo prowling partizan purveyor, or
political profligate, who prides himself upon his
contributions to the aggrandizement of his party.
should there find place. There should be none
but intelligent. Irigh minded. and patriotic repre-
seutatiyes of free, sovereign, and independent
states; men who. regardless oftlreir private in-
terests. glory in advancing the welfare and hap-
piness of their whole country. Such are the
men whom we desire to place ttpon the ratnports
of our nation's citadel-and such are the men to
whom, ere long the people will commit the in-
terests of redeemed Connecticut!
"There is a title it) the affairs of men,
Which. taken at the flood. leads onjo (mane;
Neglected. all the voyage of our life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now embarked,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures."
On Monday next, our tide is “ at the flood."
Let us improve it. To be sure, it may not
“lead to fortune,” but, with due exertions, it
may save us from going to pieces on the flats
where we are now aground. and being stripped.
by the land sharks and government wreckers.
Bear a hand then, my boys——all,ofyou-offwith
her! Off with her! Once more, and away
she goes! A long pull, a strong pull, and a
pull altogether. anti_our good ship is afloat again

Congressional.
Several Resolutions calling upon the Execu-
tive forinformation on sundry interesting top-
ics, have passed the House, and will recievc our
more particu‘ar notice lrereaftt-r. The Secre-
tary ofthe Navy has at last favored Congrress
with a communiczttion relative to the E.-rploring
Expedition. It is now rumored that Lieut.
\Vilkes has becrroflbred the command of this
Expeditiorr—tlrat he has accepted it and repair-
cd to New York to enter upon the duties of his
new ttppointmrnt. Congress are talking about
establishing rt mail for the United States across
the Isthmus of Panama to the Pacific Ocean,
and back again.
In tne Senate, the question has been taken
upon the adoption of Mr. Rives’ substitute for
the original Sub-Treasury Bill, and decided in
the negative, ycas 22, trays 30. This vote. how-
ever, is not regarded as at decisive indication
ofthe ultimate p'ssage of the original bill as it
is very possible that Messrs. Cuthbert. \Vall,
Morris and Buchanan, all of whotn voted irt the
negative, will none of them vote for the passage
of that bill. I
Another passage at arms has taken place on
the floor of the Senate. between Messrs. Calhoun
atrd Webster. The Washington Correspon-
dettts of the New York press, speak of it as one
of the most interesting and brilliant encounters
that has ever occurred. and one in which Mr.
Webster has reaped new laurels.

The Florida lVar.—From oflicialdocuments
which have recently been published, it appears
that Gen. Jesup, as early as last July expressed,
in a letter to the “for Department, his convic-
tion of the impossibility of removing the Semi-
noles from Florida, and of the impolicy of fur-
ther attempts to eflect it. He thinks that if this
measure is insisted on. "the war will continue for
years to come, and at constantly increasing ex-
pense." The Secretary of War is unwilling
that they should remain, but yet consents to “ a
temporary arrangement" with thern--or, in oth-
er words, asuspensiou of hostilities, thus leav-
ing the frontier settlements of Middle and East
Florida subject totheir predatory and murderous
tucurstons.
We ltave no time or space. this week, to
comment upon the duplicity and double-distilled
treachery of Gen. Jcsup in his negociations with
