THE TRIED "ExPEDIENT,,

The sub-treasury system is not an untred
expedient. Its principles have been tested
by the General Government, and by one of
the States, and found by both to be so defec-
tive, as to make it indispensbly necessary to
abandon it.
Under the administration of General Wash
ington, the principle was adopted Of allowing
the public moneys, as they were collected,
to remain in the hands Of the individual col
lectors, and to be by them deposited in banks
to their individual credit. During this peri
cd, many and large defalcations took place
among the officers of Government. The col
lector of the City of New York, a revolution
airy officer of high and irreproachable charac-
ter, became a defaulter to a large amount,
not by fraudulently appropriating the Govern
ment money to his own use, but by mista-
ken feeling OF indulgence to others who bor-
rowed it, The same result took place with
the collector at Boston and so fatally did
this system work to the prejudice ofthe Go
vernment, and the ruin of individual charac-
ter, that by an order from the head Of the
Treasury, the principle was changed, and the
public money was ordered to be deposited in
the banks to the credit of the Government, to
be subject to the drafts of the Treasurer.
Thus was the measure tried by the Govern
ment, and thus did it fail, and was abandoned.
In the State of Virginia the system was
tried, and most signally did it fail. Two of
the most distinguished gentlemen of that
State were in succession appointed Treasu-
rers of the State, and having custody of the
whole revenue, they both proved to be default
tiers to large amounts, and the sequel was as
tragical as the event was mournful. Virginia
abandoned the measure, and ordered the pub
lie money to be deposited in the banks to the
credit of the State, where it has always been
safe, and where the trust has been performed
with scrupulous fidelity to the entire satisfac-
ton of the Commonwealth. All this is prac-
teal commentary upon the Sub treasury
scheme, now pertinasously urged upon the
country, which ought not to be disregarded.
The truth is, the system is demoralising the
temptations are too many and too strong for
the frailtes of man, and we should be admo-
nished by the divine principle which teaches
us to ask, lead us not into temptation"
The more we reflect upon this subject,
and the more we learn, the more confirmed
are we in the soundness of our opposition
to it.
