1--WE have objected to the Sub-treasury system SO
called that in the first place it will enlarge the
Executive poper, already too great for Republic
IDLY, that it contributes 10 endanger the securitg of
The ptJlic funds And 3dly, that it is calculated to
produce two currences; baser one for the People
and better one for the Government. "-Richmond
Enquirer.
eve cannot see the necessity of refusing good
bank notes in payment of the United States dues,
and are cannot but regret The project under considera-
ton empirical and capricious frangh iM present
and prospective erit and involving an abandonment
of the old policy of the Administration "-PuloAt

1--WE cannot refrain from congratuating our
friends and the country upon the refusal Of the
peoples representatives TO rush headlong into an
experiment which many of the pureSt and
wisest statesmen of the Van Buren, school conceive
to be fraught with incalcuable mischief to the pros
perity of our country The tide of Loco Focoism
is stayed for short period at any rate and we can
not but believe that when the members of CONGRESS-
shall have gone home and consulted with their con-
SuentS, many more will return to the seat of Go
vcrnment opposed othis measure-Frcderick (Jd)
Times.
For our selves we have no hesitation in saving
that the views of Mr. RiveS, are satisfactory to our
mind, and we cannot see why those who have here
tofore acted with him, and have as it were pledged
themselves and the faith Of the Government in
support of the State Bank Depose system should
now make so complete a somerset of their opinions
as TO turn round and advocate a system that but
three years since they thought chimerical- Char

The Great Moaster--Let the democratic party no
songer talk of monsters if they swallow the Sub
treasury scheme in all its detasthe ten and half
millions OF Government bank paper to be put ahoat
al one batch and probably to be increased hereafter
10 an indefinite amount The Government will be
the great another monster"-the mint and its
branches, the Land Offices and the Post Offices are
TO be It's BamlingS which are To swarm like SO many
harpicS over the land Each little petty Posi- Office
is destined 10 be bank and each petty Post Master
a President, Cashier, Teller, Clerk and all. Good
God who can look quietly on and see such a mon
Stcr fixing its fangs upon the people and infilsnp
into the whole system of our Government its SMILE
poison But the cause must be delended-the mon
arches of the east must furnish examples of the
same system! If France moa0rchiai France can
be governed under such a system, our rcpub-
Hcan Union. If the plan works well when headed
by the King of England, it mast work when headed
by the President of the United States -! 1Iogd (Ia
