If deemed necessary or wise, c0 ; after full discussion, let the Constitution th or law be so amended as to secure to the re President|;u relation to those officers, the m power of temporary suspension, but not th of final removal, without the consent of the ar w.v. R Let the obligations of duty resting upon each and all of them be of such a charac* a ter and so prescribed as to make them answerable, in some measure, for lite mis- ar conduct of each, as will compel them to . watch, supervise, and check each other, sj| and report delinquencies, when discover- w ed to head quarters. ti( Thus far, the interests of Government cc alone would be provided for. But the ne- tj( cessities of the people require the agency of some scheme which will furnish them j?j with a national currency, or medium of te< exchange, of undoubted, substantial, and tjc uniform value. In order to accomplish tli so high a benefit for the country it is proposed that Government should cause to be prepared a suitable quantity of certificates of deposit or Treasury notes, in denominations of twenty dollars and upwards, and in convenient lorms anu wuh sunauic engravings for circulation amongst the Ca people. Let these rerlilirates of deposit u-c " or Treasury notes he distributed amongst pi< the dfiferent Government depositories in til( such proportion as may meet fully the dc- trj Tnand for them. Let every citizen through- |ea out the country have the privilege of de- n|s poshing any amount of specie in these de- nig positories, and the right accruing thereup pr > on, to demand in exchange for the same ra( these certificates or notes of Government., ?p payable on demand-at the place of deposit ,|;l| in specie, and receivable every wherein on payment of Government dues and for pub- ar( lie lands- This privilege would place it s?| ' in the power of everv Individual to eon- sjd ' vert his local bank notes: when payable in lM, specie, into the national curre"ry, based r,.f dollar for dollar, on the specie deposited, c,, receivable at all p.tints f.p'lhlic d?es,'f{U and endorsed by the hijhest authority and pP; bestguaranty known to the [)eo|>le?t'mtIa?-i of their own government. The quantity be, of such national currency which would tin be. brought into circulation, would be pre- no cisely coram usurate with the demand for rai it?no less, and probably no more. The atr regulating power our Slate banks exerud sy; c.i ? i r through the voluntary action (Mine reopiejuo in withdrawing ihe specie (ro.ni them, and thi converting it into the notional currency, 1 would prove to be abundantly sufficient; rio potent beyond resistance. The tendency act of this process would be to encourage the we introduction and retention of the precious ce< metals and sustain practically the gold tnn and silvpr standard of value?a line of its est duty which the Government seems studi- wj| euslyand pmpos. ly to have avoided fn tn pri 1701 to 1*36. A commendation the most pei conclusive and decisive in favor of such a no 6cheme of furnishing a national currency pr< is, that it totally excludes the use of the ho; public money by public agents or individu- so als, the discount of promissory notes, cr vm of bills of exchange, or any other act of sta loaning money, or granb-d facilities of thi credit. It would have no stockholders, po Iendors, debtors, nor borrowers, Newspa- ga; per Editors, politicians, speculitors, stock sru ;/ jobbers, or iy other class, could get no accommodations from it. Its issues would De con&nfMl to lUe specie depositor?would 0f ^ be predicated upon and limited by the spe- pa cie deposits. The specie deposits, under ' the operations of trade and business, would Se . be fully equal to tlie just wants of the 0u country for a currency, especially a Na- he ^ tiojial currency. . When, deposited, the i0 specie would be represented in the bitsi* tcs ness of the country by the very best and ani most truthful representative that could be nni devised. _ Under such a system, the productive la- vit bor of the country woiild !be the money 0f creating the, money m'fc'king power.

Sei The Government would simply become |)U the keeper of the treasure of the nation, 5U| and in its issue of certificates or notes to individuals would incur no other ohliga- re< ttons than such as would be incident to a an hank of deposit, or to its character or mi ke?por of such moneys. ci( .This relation to the public would afford ca the most effective facilities for borrowing L j money in war and all public emergencies. tn Proposals for the Government to exchange f,,| its stock, bearing a reasonable rate of in- w, terest, for it*certificates or nob's in cirru- w. lation, would be readily. embraced by rnori- ,,f ey holders.

An indispensable feature in the scheme mid be the collection of the public dues rlusively in specie and the certificates d notes of Government issued in exanire therefor.

MORE BORDER TROUBLES. Some account of the kidnapping o! d. Grooan in Vermont by a party from nada in the uniform of British soldiers, i copied two days ago, not without sus;ion that it was a rumor got up to inflame 3 New Yorkers preparatory to Mcleod's al. The Mail of yesterday, however, ives no doubt that the story is true, and o throws light on the cause of the outre. The recent Proclamation of the esident intimates that there is u conspi:y on the border to renew the attempts on Canada?and the evidences are abuni:t that no small part of the population both sides of the border desire a war, tfc doing every thing to produce thai ret. There is furious agitation on both *s?crimination, suspicion ami frequent trage. Col. - Gp.o.iAN was a Canadian 'ugee, and ha-! planted himself very itvei'ipiuiy fir mischief, .rirlirin three or ir miles of tlie border. It does not np. - Iwi tirna a l*-n/li?r in* Jtrliyp ill \yijciiii;i i*v? ivfiv u ilator, but no doubt he was believed to , on the British side, nnd that that was ; cause of the outrage. But cause or causo, the peace of the two countries inot long stand such rude shocks?such oeious violations of public law?such itematicand harrassing mutual provocan. The New York Post speaking of s last outrage, says: "There is but one way to prevent the seus consequences which may follow this . of violence. The British authorities, have no doubt, will disown the pro;dings and release Col. Grogan; but this ist be done instantly, without the smalldelay, or the whole Northern frontier II flow with blood in a border war. Enterses of retaliation will be set on foot by rcttna nn ihn American side, who desire thing better than such an occasion to scipilale the two countries into mutual utilities. The outrage committed is of gross a nature, so entirely without procation, and attended with such circumnces of cruelty and brutality, that nong could be better suited to their purse. It is a firebrand thrown into a marine of combustibles, which must be itched out the moment it alights, or the lole is in flames." The following more particular account the transaction wc copy from the same per. The St. Albans Messenger Extra, of ptember 24th, has been ptit into our r hands. The citizens of St. Albans Id meetings on the 21st and 22d instant, make arrangements for collecting the tiinony in regard to this transaction, d lay it before the Governor of Vermont d the Chief Magistrate of the United ites. At the meeting on the 22d uflidas were read giving a particular account the seizure of Grogun. They have ice been forwarded to the governor and Washington, The St. Albans Messenr gives the following summary of the ntents: It r\ fm?on it nno a f *v 11 j / j f c a i r?

Grogan, and among the ?t a dragoon who urged Grogan to drink, d wis particularly attentive on him, so jell so that his courtesies became suspi)tis. These suspicions were communi* tod to Grogan, and he was advised that dan was afoot to kidnap him and to insporl him to Canada. Grogan, finully Mowing the friendly advice given him, iril to Alhurgh City, so called and afterirds went to pass the night at the I)ouse 1 Mr. William Brown his brother-in-law, ho resides about tiiree miles frum the itnidary line. Ifi'cuv' the affidavit of anothcr, it ap. \ .V-' r' . '-Xi *? -fe , 'v? >- '' - SjSj jSr* r - ' m -%: 1 ' 1 - v I pears that Win. Brown and his wife were i \ J ?wakened about two o'clock in the morn- 1 i"g of Sunday, the 29th Sept., by a noise 1 occasioned by the breaking open, and < forcible entrance, of a gang of armed i men into their dwelling. This gang, , consisting of fifteen or more, were in the uniform of British soldiers, and, as could be seen by the lantern they carried, fully armed. Mr. Brown sprang from the bed upon perceiving the intruders, and was met at the door of his sleeping room by a British ruffian, who presented his gun and bayonet, and ordered him to remain quiet. Mr. Brown called aloud to his two sons who were sleeping above, and was threatened by the soldier thai he would certainly he shot unles.s he desisted from speaking. The remainder of this gang rushed into the adjoining room, where Col. G.-ogan was sleeping, crying out as * -- L-i.n > ri they entered, 'Here nc is: ?mux uc <o. ? Shoot him?blow his brains out.' They f seized him and dragged him from his bed, and carried him by force through the house, and conveyed him to the road, i where were vehicles in readiness to late > him across the line. Mr. Brown testir fics that he was apparently strangled so that he could neither; speak or make even i a show of resistance.- , It appears from another affidavit thai 1 the son of Mr. Wm. Brown came down at his father's call, when he was met by - o e?Mi?,p hp thoup-ht?who cocked his J gun anil ordered him to return, or lie - would shoot hiin. Soon after they had : gone ofF with Grogan", young Mr. Bm\yn discovered a drabrcoiored hat, a British bayonet, and a cotton handkerchief which f they dropped in the hurry of their proceed ings. Soon after day light a British dra goon was seen riding towards the house of ' \Ir. Brown, apparently in search of the articles which the rulfims haJ accicjently . lost. As soon as he saw he was discovered, he ran his horse back to Her Majesty's dominions. From another affidavit, it appears that a f gentleman going from Clarenceville to MissLquoi Bay overtook a waggon, in which was James W. Grogan, four armed soldiers and a driver, anil four dragoons rifling and keeping guard by the wagon.? Upon their arrival at the Bay, Grogan remained in the wagon surrounded by a strong guard in front of the guard house for about a quarter of an hour; after which he was ordered into the guard house, and ' from thence was taken to Montreal.-rGrogan appeared badly wounded and bruised?his face was very mucfi disfigured, and it was with great difficulty he could walk or step. The party that brought bin? to the guard house from Alburgh, was formally dismissed in true military style, by Sergeant Heed, who belongs to Gupt, Jones, Company of Light Dragoons in her Majesty's service. It was reported a,l Missisquoi Bay, that on the evening previous to the transaction above detailed; Capt. .Jones had been heard to say, that he had despatched a squad of men after Col. Gr >gau and that Grogan would, without fail, be taken that night. The substance of the above affidavit (save one) was read aloud at the meeting held at St. Albans on the evening of the i 22d, and upon the correctness of.tfic facts ao doubt occd be entertained. [From the Troy Whig.] < Organization of "Patriots11 intho Amcrican Territory.?There are strong reasons for believing thatan armed force con- | sisiing of several thousand men has been for some time organizing within the Stale of New-York, for the purpose ofco-opcrating wiih Canadian patriots, as they are ] called, in another attempt at revolt. We are informed on good authority, that the organization of these men within our territory was never so complete as it is at present, and that it comprises a body of fif- i ty or sixty thousand persons, who ar# rea- i dy to march at amomenl's warning across 1 the frontier, and to carry fire and sword I into the heart of the Canadas. Whether I the United States Government is aware of I this alarmiDg slate of affairs we are una- < ble to say, or whether General Scott in his i recent visit to Buffalo and Detroit sue- I ceeded in discovering what was actually sroinz on in the vicinity of those places. 1 It is very evident however, to observing i men who reside near the Canadian frontier, that unusual preparations have been ma- i king for some time past among those who ] arc friendly to the cause of the patriots, i and the most disastrous consequences are I apprehended unless thisconspirncy against i a nation with whom we are at peace is i broken up in time. The recent robberies i of powder and arms were duTbtless com- I milted by persons in thfi employment of i the conspirators, and similar seizures will I be attempted by them hereafter, from lime < to time. The mnnner in which the patriots will conduct their attack upon the Canadas I will be probably to cross the lines in the < night, commit whatever depredations llicy can, and retreat, when discovered, into i our territory. A series of such acts will of course biing down upon us the whole British force now stationed in Canada, and a fierce and bloody border war thus be excited-?the termination of which no one can accurately predict. That there is some truth in the information communicated to the Whig we have doubt; but our confidence is equally strong that the statement above made is very , greatly exagerated. Armies of fifty - or sixty thousand men are not so easily enrolled and organized. The truth is, we suppose, that some three or four thousand . men might be got together, along the whole line of the border, who would proxies 3 readiness to "march across the fron , -? * :\-:v .- 2 5s : : :'4 tor:" and thai about ?n? tbird of the number would actually march if a very favorable opportunity presented its?lf.. In 1837 we had just.such an account of banded thousands; but when the time for action came not more than two hundred could be assembled at any one.point for the invasion of Canada; and the whole number of acting ''patriots" was not more than a thousand or fifteen hundred men. The deterring motives are much stronger now on both sides of the line. We may add that the whole matter is vigilantly watched and accurately known at Washington, and that, should there be a necessity for vigorous action, such action will not be wanting. There is more to be apprehended from the hostile proceedings of individuals and of small parties, than from those oft the - ? - A "organized tnousaus.?vwhi. j?i?u. [From the National Intclligenser]. OFFICIAL. By tie President af the United Slates of America. A PROCLAMATION. Whereas il has come to the knowledge of the Government of the United States that sundry spcrel Lodges, Clubs, or Associations exist on the Northern Frontier; that the members of these Lodges are bound together by secret oaths; ibnt they have collected fire-arms and other military materials, and secreted them in sundry places; and that it is their pursoso to violate* the laws oflheir country by making military and lawless incursions, when an ? ??/? *? t?

Notv, therefore, I John Tylkr, President of the United States, do issue this my proclamation, admonishing all such ev;j minded persons of the condign punishment which is certain to overtake them; assuring therp the laws of the United States will be rigorously executed against their illegal acts; and that if in any lawless incursion into Canada they fall into the hands of the British authorities thev will not he reclaimed as American citizens, nor any interference made by this Government in their bphalf. And I exhort all wnll-meaning but deluded persons who may have joined these Lodges, immediately to abandon them, and have nothing more to do with their secret meetings, or unlawful oaths, as they would avoid serious consequences Id themselves. And I expect the intelligent and well-disposed members of the community to frown on all the unlawful combinations and illegal proceedings, and to assist the Government in maintaining the peace of the country against the mhschirvons consequences of the acts of tljese idolaters of the Jaw.

JOHN TYLER. By the President; * Daniel Webster Secretary of State. McLeod's Trial.?The Oneida (N. Y.) Whig of Tuesday 6ays. "Lest suitors should be led to omit an early preparation ->f ih?ir muses, from a notice in some of[ he papers that the trial of McLeod would lake place on the 27th inst. we are requested to say that there is no certainty that tie will be tried in the early part of the circuit, and thai parties who desire to try .heir causes, should not fail to be prepared or trial." In republishing this paragraph, the New i'ork Commercial Advertiser of Thursday lfternoon remarks. "We think the publick may make up its mind for an acquittal of the prisoner.? From a sure hand the information reaches iis that the commissions sent into Canada !i:tve been returned to Utica, and opened, tnd that the evidence to prove an alibi is clear and overwhelming. A host of unimpeachable witnesses have so established llic fact of McLeod's presence elsewhere, on the night of the Caroline affair, that his participation in that affair is out of the question."

Mr Tyler has "plucked nut the very soul of his enterprize." Besides, for throe year? and a half, he has foiled the establishment of a great, controlling National Bank. The Address of the Whig members of Congress confesses the fact. They state'expressly, that "The last Veto has borrowed the question of a Bank down to the basis of the Sub-Treasury Scheme, and it is obvious, from the opinions of that Message, that the country is not to expect any thing belter than the exploded Sub-Treasury, or some measure of the same character, from Mr. Tyler."
