upon the SubTreasury scheme, as you might be dis
posed to Judge from the language Of the Baltimore
Republican" They opposed to any more " erpe-
rimeats" and believe with you and the large number Of
the party who sustain you that the State Banks the
safest repositories of the government, il regulated in
the manner proposed by the distinguished Senators,
Rves and Talmadge, and by Mr. Garland Of the House
Of Representatives All that is wanting revive the
commercial prosperity Of country and to bring about
an early resumption Of specie payments to restore
fdenee How is this be done by the Sub Treasury
scheme No sir The adoption Of that measure will
drive from the little confidence that has began to ex-
list it will protract the resumption Of specie payments;
and crush large number OF banks with their long train
of debtors who under other circumstances would fare
well = One wide spread ruin would follow the Sub
Treasury system and the complete overthrow Of ad
ministration for whose honor and triumph know you
