The Richmond Enquirer says
MIR. CHEvEy LETTER.

We spread before our readers letter from
voted patriotism, frankness Of expression and
honesty Of purpose Mr.. Cheves stands emf
nently distinguished.
He is opposed to the establishment Of a
National Bank, as well on account of its un-
constitutionality, as Of the great danger which
is to be apprchended from the vast power
which such an institution can WELD which
no one can better realize than Mr. Chevcs.-
He treats the Sub-treasury scheme with
master hand; and we do sincerely hope, that
the practical views and illustrations given by
him of its operations will serve to awaken
some from the delusion into which they ap-
pear to have fallen, and from the infatuation
which seems to Influence and govern them.
Mr.. Cheves advocates the State bank De-
posite System, and urges policy on the part
of the Government, Of kind treatment to them
for the purpose Of inspiring public confidence
in them, and encouraging them to resume
specie payments as speedily as practicable.
III TeSdtu W ASoscS duiholiLcu
to be issued by Congress, we differ somewhat
from the views given by Mr.. Cheves. In our
opinion they should have borne no interest at
all, or such rate of interest as would have
taken them out Of circulation, as fast as issued
Cor the purpose Of investment. The latter
principle, we think, would have been decided
ly the most judicious; because, the evils which
we have been and still are suffering, had
much Of their origin in superiority Of paper
currency. Until that redundancy is with
drawn, the evils must continue to exist. If
that excess Of paper be increased, either by
Bank or Government paper, the effect of each
is precisely the same) the evils will newt
ably be augmented and their continuance be
prolonged.
We apprehend no one will rise from the
perusal of the letter Of Mr.. C. with other than
feelings Of the highest qualification.

RIGHT OF INSTRUCTION,
Nd DUTY OF IMPLICIT OBEDIENCE.

AND DUTY OF IMPLICIT OBEDIENCE.
To one who rightly understands the true
nature and fair intent of government, it seems
to us there can be no doubt of the universal
truth Of the principle adopted by the people
of the United States, and named at the
head of this article. Virginia is the first
state known to have adopted it, as among the
indubitable and inalienable rights Of the con-
stiuent body or the people. The first case in
the history Of the Union, occurred with Messrs.
Giles and Brent, two distinguished Senators
III Congress from Virginia. The Right Of In
siruction and the Duty Of Obedience was then
peremptorily asserted by the General Assem-
bly, and very able calculation of that doc
trine was contained in report of a select
committee, which was adopted by the Lcgis-
laturc. From that moment the instances are
rare in which it has been attempted to be
doubted or controverted, till of late, in great
and doubtful struggle in the Senate, some qua
LITIGATION Of il was attempted by the Wings.
The esentdistinguishcd senator, Rives, gave
his approval of it in manner which reflected
the highest honor upon him, both as a states
man and man; and has furnished US with
precedent for the future, of inestimablc advan-
tage, in double sense; first, by the nstanta-
neous resignation Of place, created by the
people for their own purposes and not another,
when he perceived he could not fulfil their
wishes and, because it sets so forcible an ex-
ample TO the present and coming generations
of the disinterestedncss Of an enlightened pa
,rict in the midst ofthe enjoyment of high Off
oial rank.

We would respectfully ask The Globe
whether the following ever has formed part
Of the catalogue of political aphorisms, by
which that print heretofore has been guided:

The Albany Argus in summing up the eau
SEES which the editor Of that paper supposes TO
have produced the revolution in New York,
says, ait is not to be disguised that many
persons have been msled by their fears, ope-
rated upon by the false assumptions ofthe OPP
position. and by the language 81 wholesale and
indiseriminafe attack upon the banks and upon
individuals connected Nth them By a fs,o Of ths
republican journals"
We are not more surprised that the Albany
Argus should make the above confession at
this eleventh hour, than we were to see in the
Globe Of Wednesday night, in which the arti-
Gle was published, such unblushing modesty
as the following:
THE Federal newspapers throughout the Union
have constantly entertained their readers for months
past with Trades of abuse upon the Globe and its
editor, account Of alleged hostility 10 the rhote
81 Tie banks, and toa sceitregaiaed credit system !"
To the political observer it is unnecessary
to repeat that the Globe has been the leader Of
the very war of which the Albany Argus at
last, after the evil day Thereof has past, CON-
plains. Were it necessary, we could, on re-
curing TO its files point out the wholesale
and indiscriminate attacks upon the banks and
upon individuals connected with Them"
which have burdened the face of the. Globe
thicker than the leaves that strew the vale of
VaIlambrosa, for the last twelve months. It
is no longer ago than the close Of the late ex-
ira session, that the Globe, in the height Of
its Joy at the result of the vote on the Bank
question, proclaimed to its satellites that the
dynasty Of banks, great and small, approach
ed its end"
The Argus may now hoist its telegraph,
and the Globe may respond to it /; there are
others who understand the signal, and know
the design. But they will not avail. In the
effort to PROSTATE public confidence, they have
lost that which was once reposed in them by
united party That party can never be
again united, unless the line be distinctly
drawn between Republicans and destructives,
and the Sub-rreasury scheme be abandoned.
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1837-11-24

The Conservatives, who constitute very
large proportion of the republican party, are
firmly and unalterably convinced that the Gre
dit system has been greatly instrumental in
promoting the general welfare and prosperity
of the country, and that il is as essential for
the future as it has been for the past
The Conservatives believe the Sub-Trea-
sury scheme to he unsound in theory, and
would be most pernicious in practice-they
believe it to be anti-republican in all its ten
denotes, and particularly at this crisis Of our
affairs, that it would only aggravate the evils
already existing.
The Conservatives believe, that doctrines
have taken root in our country, under the aus
pices of party, denominated Loco Foco,
that are agrarian, levelling, destructive and
revolutionary-they believe that their tenden-
cy is to unhinge and unsettle society in all its
religious, social and political relations-they
believe that their aim is to drag down the
Constitution, to disregard the obligations of
law, the sanctity of contracts, the rights of
property, and every thing that gives dignity to
government stabilityto society, and reverence
for religion.
The Conservatives believe that any associ-
alton with the loco foco party, or any counte-
nance given to their doctrines, would be a
compromise of honor, and gross delinquent
cy of every patriotic duty
Tho ronoary,t;ya, ,l,;p, q, 10 roo,,l,t.J
exclusively by republican principles-th
principles that were held sacred by Jefferson,
that were practised by Madison, and that have
ever formed the distinctive character of the
republican party.
With these opinions and these principles,
the Conservatives feel that they command an
impregnable position, from which they will not
be driven by the insolent denunciations of
licentious press, the impotent SCOTS of degra-
ded demagogues, or the ostracism Of leagues
or factions.
They may, for season, stand in the mino-
rity, between those who oppose their princi-
pies and those who constitute the great oppo-
sitlon party of the country; but whenever the
divided ranks Of the old republicans shall be
recognised, it will be upon Conservative
principles the primitive principles of the
party.
In the present disturbed state Of the public
mind, and the conflicts Of opinion growing out
of the introduction Of new theories strange
doctrines and dangerous experiments, parties
are most likely destined to undergo change,
and new formations be made but whatever
transformation they may undergo, the domi-
nant party can never be tainted with the here
sy of loco-focoism the doctrines of Con-
servatism must form the broad foundation up
on which the superstructure is to rest-as
they have been, for the last half century, the
rallying point of patriotism, and the polar star
of the friends of the Constitution.

obtained, should be conclusive with the repro
sentative. The distinct enunciation Of the
sentiments Of tho people, in the late numerous
elections, on the subject Of the Snb-Treasury
scheme, has furnished the high servants OF
the people, an apt occasion on which to illus
trate the verify Of their support of the inaiisa-
able Right Of Instruction. and its correlative,
the implieit Duty Of Obedience.
The people have declared against the
scheme, and their servants should conform to
their opinions. Divided as public opinion is,
ito say the most in favor Of adhering to former
recommendations we should say to attempt
to coerce either of two powerful parties to
yield in a struggle SO novel, on aquestion en-.
tirely new as an Executive measure, were to
exert an authority at war with the quiet of the
country, and unfriendly to the success Of any
administration.
We, however, take holder ground and are
fortified by the facts in taking it. The people
have declared against the scheme, and the
servants Of the People should obey their
mandate. Apart from the force Of the doc
trine of Instruction, we would say that wise
and far-sighted policy should avoid all sub
jects Of anxious collision. The present un-
happy state in which the Republicans find
themselves, should be assuaged by that spirit
Of wise concession on which depends every
valuable civil right that freeman can enjoy.
