THE sUB-TREAsURY SCHEME.

The Globe. Hartford Times, and some other
papers of similar character, are endeavoring
to make an unqualified support Of the project
to separate the business of the people from
the business Of the Government, or in other
words the Sub Treasury Scheme, the test
question Of Democracy, and seem exceeding
ly DESTROYS 10 denounce all Who are not will
ing so to acknowledge il as a,ostates from the
democratic party, federalists, DC. For our
selves, we wish TO protest against such a
course of proceeding, and to make known at
the outset that we will not quietly submit TO
il. We aim to be an honest and consistent
democrat, the anathemas Of few unprinci-
pied radicals to the contrary notwithstanding
I've were uniformly firm supporter Of Gen.
Jackson's administration--we defended the
removal of the deposites, the Proclamation,
the Protest, the Veto on the Bank Bill, and
the Specie Circular, to the utmost Of our
feeble sbilities-but We are unwilling now to
turn about and advocate the adoption Of plan
which short time since was strongly con-
demned by these identical party organs
discountenanced by Gen. jackson himself and
all his cabinet and which we believe fraught
with dangers of the most alarming kind. In
1884 similar project to that aow recon-
mended by President Van Buren, was brought
forward and urged upon the attention Of Con-
gress by Mr.. Gordon, member of Congress
from Virginia, which was also favored by Mr..
Leigh, of that state, then Senator in Con-
gress, both of whom were violently opposed
to Gen. jackson and his administration. It
was first introduced by Mr.. Gordon on the
goth June, 1884, and subsequently again sub
mitted on the 18th OF February, 1888, and on
every occasion, and at all points was assailed
and discountenanced by the editor of the
Globe and the friends of the administration
generally. II was in consequence promptly
voted down by Congress. Now this same
proposition is brought forward under different
circumstances, and what was two years ago
darling project with the Wings has now be-
come, according to the Globe, the policy Of
the administration, !" in favor of which the
democracy Of the country will rally and all
who will not approve Of such Inconsistency,
are branded as deserters from the party.
In order, however, to show our readers and
the public that we do not state this case too
strongly, and as conclusive proof that both the
late President and the editor Of the Globetwo
years since, were strongly opposed to the
Sub Treasury scheme, at this time SO warmly
advocated by that paper, and upon which, in
its estimation, depends the adherence to the
Republican faith, we invite attention to the
following extracts from the Globes common
taries upon MIR. Gordon's Sub-Treasury

pected election Of Speaker, drew great
crowds to all The galleries.
\ At an early hour the members began to

aSsemblage OF members than ever reco.lect
OF having known at any previous session.
/ At twelve o'clock, Mr.. franklin, the clerk

seats, and join in the deliberations Of the

whether the election had been conducted ac-
cording to the constitution of the State Of
Mississippi, and the United States.
Mr.. Gholson replied that the Governor had
issued lis proclamation, according tothe laws
ofthe state and of the Union. When the
House was properly organized, he would be
ready to meet the question raised by Mr..
Mercer-but for the present, he would be
silent. Mr.. Mercer, after few remarks, Of
fered Il resolution that sufficient evidence
had not been presented to the House to sat
isfy it that Messrs. Gholson and Claiborne
were entitled to their seats.
Mr.. Gholson opposed this resolution with
great vehemencc and after some remarks
from Messrs. Mercer and Bynum, the latter
moved to lay the resolution on the table,
which was carried by vote Of I3l to 5.
Mr.. Rhett of s. G.. then moved that Mr..
Williams Of N. c. (the father of the House)

until speaker should be elected. This ques.
ton is now undergoing debate which prom
ises to be of long continuance. There will
be no election of u speaker to-day.

Presidents MESSAGE, to Congress. 1t
is document Of great length, and little
perspicuity, put together in the prolix
and perplexed style peculiar to its author,
of which it would be impossible to give
any ineligible summary in the few brief
lines to which we are confined. 1t re-
commends nothing with positiveness on
the subject OF the currency; but, if we
understand it, leans decidedly to genuine
loco. focoism. OF its character however
our readers will soon be enabled to judge
