We are happy to perceive from the Albany
Argus that the leading RECOMMENDATIONS Of the
President are treated as mere questions of ex-
pediency-The Argus anticipates that " diff
ference of views may in some respects be enter
tanned by portions ofthe friends of the admins
tration"-and says, In speaking of a diffe.
renee of views, we limit the remark to three
points, unessential in matters ofprinciple, since
theyresolve themselves, in our judgment, alto
gether into questions of expediency. We al
Jude to the payment to the States of the last
instalment of the surplus revenue deposite,
an issue of Treasury notes, and the adoption
of system of collecting and discussing the
public moneys through the agency Of Govern
ment officers" The last proposition is the
burdenof the Message-and lift is to be treat
ed, as the Argus says, as a mere "question
of expediency" instead of "a second declara-
ton of independence" as put forth in the
Globe, then we are content to leave it to the
unbiased judgment of the people. Public
sentiment has been already sufficiently indi-
Gated on this subject-The ominous silence
with which certain private letters, containing
similar proposition were received by the
whole country, and particularly by the demo-
cratic press, satisfies us that it will be viewed
as "question of expediency," and that there
will be no expediency in making such ques-
ton. We are glad that it has assumed this
shape-that it will not be insisted on as party
doctrine-for as such, we are satisfied it will
never be sanctioned

THE E LECTION OF PRINTER TO THE

After the election of Printer was concluded, and the
result made known, were much grati6ed with the
kind tone and amiable Of its announcement by
the Globe We took it harbinger Of peace to the
cause Of the administration in which both the Globe
and the Madisonian are zeaously engaged. We
looked upon it desire the part Of the Globe to
make little atoncment for the unknd assault made

to with the Globe, in the utmost harmony, in
support Of the great in which we both engag

for the attack Of the Globe, from the fact that his i'm
aginaton had been wrought up against the Bank Of
the United States, that he ncied he discovered the
monster under every hitc heap which presented
his vision But, when the Madisonian appeared and
took its ground that subject strongly the Globe
itself, we fauered ourselves should not again be
called to rcpel such charge But it is, that the
Globe has again made the nsnuaton, because forsooth
under the necessity Of using the materials

by the President Message. There no use in going

Mr. HAYNES asked the gentlemen from North

ing drawn TO the fatal consequences which
must result from their adoption.
But, although such are the recommends
tons of the President he, nevertheless, sub
mits to Congress to adopt such measures as
In lis wisdom shall seem proper. In differing,
therefore, from him on this subject, we do no
more than he desires all to do, by ex-
pressing that difference freely and frankly
We DO not desire nor expect that any recon-
mendation from the Executive shall be adopt
ed merely because it is the recommendation
of the Executive. He is only fulfilling an
injunction OF the constitution in making it,
and Congress is but fulfilling an injunction of
duty in adopting different measure if it
shall seem better adapted to the actual con-
dition of things.
Aside from the Presidents general cha
racter, from which we should infer his wish
es on this subject, we are well assured that
he is not welded to this proposition, and
would much prefer that it should not be adopt
ed if the majority of his political friends
should deem it inexpedient. Being in "a
vor of it himself, it was his duty to re-
commend the same to Congress and hav-
ing thus done his duty, he waits for Con-
gress to do theirs. We, therefore, invite the
democratic party and the democratic press
to canvass the proposition with perfect free
dom, and at the same time with all the respect
due TO the distinguished source from which

painful to the President himself if he sup
posed there was any hesitation amongst his
political friends in thus canvassing this mea-
sure. No one desires the success of the party
more than we--no one can more sincerely
desire the onward prosperity of the country
than we; and no one can more earnestly wish
the success of his administration than our
selves. 1t is for these reasons that we desire
that opinions should be expressed without re-
serve. We. have, heretofore, given our opin-
ion on this Sub-treasury scheme. We are
thoroughly satisfied of its utter impracticabi-
lily, and that if it is persisted in, it must be
followed with the most disastrous conse-
quences. Let us then continue to pursue the
beaten track which has heretofore given us,
and which will preserve TO us the ascendancy
of the party and the prosperity Of the country.
When we commenced this article we in
tended to review some portion Of the reason
ing of the message, but we find our time will
not permit, and we again recommend, as
substitute for any further remarks of our own,
the able article from the RICHMOND EN-
QUIRER.

Wright said he had hoped to make full report
to-day but he sho ud be prepared tomorrow report
more fully. He gave notice that he should tomorrow
ask the Senate to take up this bill for consideration
Mr. CALHOUN was against hasy legislation, and
expressed hope that the bill would not be pressed
through until should have been the subject Of due de-
liberation.
Mr. WEBSTER hoped tina, whatever course of
the friends Of the administration thought best
to adopt, it would be adopted with as little delay
possible. The situation Of the country such
demand early action. He regretted that he could not
bring himself to support this bill, which proposed
medy altogether inadequate to the evil He, however,
could do nothing TO obsruct its progress and he hoped
the friends of the administration would be permitted to
carry out their views He would merely ask for an OPP
pornnity to deliver his sentiments, and would then be
willing to leave the whole in the hands Of those who
possessed the majortes in both Houses.
After afew words from Mr. Calhoun in which he ex-
planned that he thought the action of Congress should
be early possible,
The bill was then read and ordered to second read

We are sorry to see the accomplished editor Of tho
New York AMERICAN takes our election, Printer TO
the House, SO much to heart. We did not suppose
that our politics altogether adapted to his taste,
nasmnch as we occupy the old ground Of the Democra-
tic party, and repudiate the tangled doctrines Of
Loco Foeoism His sagacity, however, politician,
should have taught him, that willis, the administration
have decided majority in the House, it would be ask
ing too much of them to elect Printer from the oppo
ston. If the Wings had the majority, and were d.
vided candidates Of their own, would be perfectly
legitimate, and according to the strcest rules of party
warfare, for the friends Of the administration when
they satisfied they could not elect their candidate
to chose the lesser evil from the other side

shows in what light the SubTreasury scheme is recev
ed by the democracy Of that city, We gatied with
the straight forward Independent and republican
pursued by the Times and commend TOO highly
the in which has all along defended the great
mercantile interest Of the city against the vandal attacks
which have been made upon it.
"Our readers will have perceived before this sheet
reaches them that the sentiments OF President Van
Buren, relation to the establishment Of Sub Trcasu
es, in direct opposition to what have conceived
to be the views Of large majority Of his political friends
While we admit that the arguments he adduccs in sup
port of the proposition able and Ingenious they have
failed to remove in minds the serious objections
which have been heretofore urged against the system,
and which contend irrefntabe in their nature
especially to its adoption at the present crisis
THAT sentiments on this, all other subjects,
will be frankly promulgated, readers need not be in
formed but trust that the discussion Of this important
subject will be conducted in that spirit Of camness and
moderation which, while it is favorable to the ascer-
tanmen Of truth and the refuaton of error will not
tend to produce irritation and ill-wn.
