THE SUB. TREASURY SYsTEM.-Mr


The SUB. TREASURY system. Mr..
Talmadge, of N. York, addressed the
Senate on the 22nd inst, in opposition
to the hard money, sub.treasury scheme
that has been proposed in that body,
and in favor Of the plan brough, TOR.
ward by Mr.. RivEs. Ia the course o.
his remarks he brought forward the
following objections against the Sub.
Treasury plan:
lst. This system, if carried, into ef.
feet, will be the cause of total ruin and
perdition to the country.
Cd. 1t is physically impossible to be
carried into execution in New York.
Sd. 1t will produce complete, uni.
versal, and far-s spread stagnation of bu.
siness.
9TH. II will cause the workingmen
to be thrown out of employment all
over the country, making the manu-
factories and every branch Of business
to come TO stand still for want of mo.
ney to carry them on.
9Th. 1t will render the resumption OF
specie payments impossible.
9th. 1t will render money runously
scarce.
7th. 1t will cause property of all
kinds to fall to rn;nous degree of de.
probation.
9Th. 1t will throw gold and silver in
the hands of office. holders, giving them
10 or IL per cent. more than Congress
has allowed them for their salary, while
1t will leave to tho People deprecated
currency.
9th. The public funds have been al.
ways safe in former repositories they
cannot be safer in the hands of ndivi-
dual officers, spread over the country.
10th. The banking institutions ofthe
country will be obliged to wind up their
concerns.
llth. 1t is an nnti-republican scheme
dangerous to liberty it is an alliance,
not dlvorce--a marriage within the
unlawful degrees, Of powers which are
too near in kin, and ought not to be
married.

Two SoRTs OF CURRENCY" Gold for
the office holders. paper for the people,
The Cincinnati Gazette of Tuesday says
We have just received two drafts from
the General Post Office, upon the Cincn.
natl Post Office, transmitted TO a Banker
IN this city, with instructions to receive
the specie, and convert it into common
currency at II per cent premium or Uni.
ted States Bank notes a per cent, and
remit the proceeds. So the contractor
gets specie, while the farmer who sells the
teams or supplies oats, or the driver for
bis wages. or the tavern keeper for his sup.
plies, must take rags.
Members Of Congress, too, are paid in
specie. They, as well as contractors, sell
the specie for expectation, and pay out
rags TO the people, pocketing the proiits!--
They may clear a dollar day by the ore.
MUM This Is the better currency. Gold
aud silver for the office holders rags for
tie people.

from such source, we feel warranted in

however, that this science, or humbug-
