u We would call the attention of our readers
TO the article in todays paper the signature of
JEFFERSON. This number, well as the two pre-
ceding is ably written, and exhibits in its true light
the claim which the administration party assume
of being the democratic party"-a claim SO obvi-
ousy false and ridiculous in view of facts that il
scarcely deserves the serious consideration of any
man. Why, in New Hampshire, the leaders, of
and most of the prominent ofhce-holders in The
selfstyled democratic party are VIGOROUSLY
known as federalists-indeed, one of her Senators
in Congress personally engaged in drumming
up recruits to attend the Hartford Convention-and
three of her Representatives Congress from that
State are boisterous federalists. One of was Sec
rotary Of a"Washington Benevolent Society," and
publicly declared it his wish, that every soldier in
the last war who crossed the line into Canada
might there find grave. 1t is true of nearly every
in tho Union, where that party is in power, the
leaders federalists. In this State most of the
War Democrats of 1912, were identified with or
composed the great body of the Anti-Masonic par
ty-and now maintain their political integrity by
opposing the ,.ristocratic and monopolizng admin
istraton Of Martin Van Buren,.

tended as term Of rcproach, neither oxcites
our regret, nor alarms cur apprehension
Without fear or hope Of favor, We unhesitat-
inely avow our friendly feelings for the
Banking system, as well as for every other
important interest identified with the welfate
of the country. Properly regulated, "none
oppose it who love their country and under
stand its welfare" However strongly certain
doctrines may tend to cripple and destroy the
Banks, we arc not alarmed The people un-
dcrstand their interest, and they will never
permit the Government to separate itself from
them, to destroy their currency, and impose
upon them one of its own. :..~.
Under the influence of distempercd feelings
aud cherished prejudices, the Globe has con-
iured up dynasty of Banks and charges
them with exercising Government" soue-

We would ask if the Banking interest,

hundred millions of dollars, embracing in
officers, directors, and stockholders, several
hundred thousand persons; in It's operations

In the House, on Monday, the Treasury
Note Bill passed by vote Of one hundred
and tmeniy-Scpen TO ninety-eigM. 1t has
doubtless, by this time, become a law. The

reimbursed at the Treasury at the expiration
of one year from their respective dates, and
for that year to bear an interest, to be fixed
by the Secretary Of the Treasury, not exceed

These notes are TO be issued, of denomina-

The Alexandria Gazette seems to be quite
out Of temper. We cannot easily comprc-
bend, how it can allege that to be an impro-
per line of conduct for those who are called
Conservatives" which that paper itself pur-
sues We understand 1t to be against the
Sub-Treasury scheme, yet it assails the
Conservatives" for opposition to the same
measure Does the Gazette oppose it, be-
cause it INDUCES the delusive hope Of re-
establishing United States Bank! The
Conservatives" oppose it for other import
ant reasons ; among which is that, there are
now but two means Of holding and disbursing
the public funds-one by individual agency,
and the other by the State banks. and the
Conservatives" prefer the latter. As be-
tween these two, and by-the-hye, the only
plans, the Gazette we believe, concurs with
the !" Conservatives" and holds the following
language: ". .~..

Notwithstanding the condemnation of the
Sub-Trcasury scheme in terms so decided,
vet the Conservatives" are abused for op-
posing it.
Nothing, it seems, can be done by the
friends Of the administration, whether good
or evil, without encountering the opposition
of the Wings We regret that they should
have so unqualifedly justified the reproach of
distinguished statesman, that their party had
no honest principle, but hatred Of every ma"
pnrer than themselves.
