OUTRAGE UPON THE QUEEN.

mention, is the following Gross outrage upon her
Majesty, by a new claimant TO the throne.

The MESSAGE occupies so large portion
of our sheet this week that we have no room
for comments. Ii is sufficient for the present
to say, that it is nothing more or less than a
cunningly drafted electioneering paper, with
which the President and his Cabinet hope to
counterfeit the decided current of popular
opinion which is setting against the measures
of the administration. But all will not do--at
least we think we know enough of the charac-
ter and intelligence of the people of this State,
to say decidedly that our feow-citizens, after
having struggled so long and so manfully against
the dangerous measures and principles OF the
party in power, will not now be won over to
the support of such loco focoism as the Pres-
dent advocates by such arguments as are con-
tanned in this document. He goes all lengths
for that most dangerous of all experiments, a
Treasury Bank-or in other words, the max
ing the Treasury at Washington one vast
Bank, under the control Of the Executive, with
a branch in every organized town in the Union,
in the shape of Postmaster, with ten thous-
and other branches in the persons of land
agents, custom house officers, &c. Was the
comparatively poor little United States Bank
dangerous, according TO the Toriesi What
then shall we say TO such one as the Presi-
dent proposes, & that too entirely under his own
control? But we have no space for further re-
marks this week. We subjoin some comments
from other papers.
The following is from the Times, the lead
ing administration paper in New York city,
and in which the famous letter Of the N. Y 700
appeared, in opposition to Benton and Loco
Focoism.
Our readers will have perceived, before
this sheet reaches them, that the sentiments
of President Van Buren,, in relation TO the
establishment OF Sub Treasures. are in d.
rect opposition to what we have conceived TO
be the views of large majority OF his polt-
ical friends. While we admit that the argu-
ments he adduces in support Of the PROPOSE
ton are able and ingenious. they have failed
TO remove in our minds the serious objections
which have been heretofore urged against
the system, and which we contend are ire
futable in their nature-especially as to its
adoption at the present crisis.

however this week to give a complete state.

returns from $50 towns give votes for Cor.
ernor, Jenison l2,54s; Bradley 10 5s5: Wbio
majority 1868. This majority will probably be
sweled to between 5000 and 1000 when the LIST
is complete, as some towns in Windham, Rut-
land, and Addison, which are strong Whip
counties, are not included, while the strongest
tory counties are given nearly entire. There
probably is an increase of last years majority.
For Senators we have few returns-but il is
ascertained that the Wing ticket has succeeded
IN Windham which elects 8, Bennington o.
Windsor 4, Rutland 8, Addison 8, Grand Isle
/, in all 16, which comprises more than half
the Senate. There is also wing majority for
the state ticket in Chittenden 9, Orleans l. so
that il is probable we have an increased ma
Joity in the upper house. The MONTPELIER
Patriot (tory) claims only the Senators in
Washington 2, Caledonia Q, and Orange 8, in all
Z, certain, and Franklin and Essex probable
Inc tory gain in the house is chiefly confined
to Washington and Orange counties. Bur
lington has sent this year wing in place of
Haswell (tory) last years representative.
There is no choice of State Treasurer, and
OF course the election of that officer devolves
upon the Assembly. The difficulties in regard
to the wing candidate, it is said, caused us the
loss of several hundred votes for our state ticket
in the north part Of the state. We hope next
week to give complete returns.
