sUB-TREAsURY DEMOCRACY.

| A demand for the memorable fourth of July
Grafton Of the Hon. JAMES BUCHANAN, has
induced us to re-publish it in to-day's paper.
In doing this we are actuated only by sin
cere desire to give our readers all the light
which these dark and doubtful times require.
Measures of the most extraordinary charac-
ter-unheard Of innovations-are urged upon
us with the most astonishing pertinacty, un-
scrupulousness, perseverance and violence
Republicans of the most upright, consistent
and unimpeachable character, are abused with
every vile epithet, denounced as tederalists,
and charged with attempting to subvert the
Constitution" That the Republican party
when most staunch and unyielding is accus-
toned to this treatment, is clearly proven by
the conduct Of their enemies in former times
as this Grafton plainly illustrates. We must
been heretofore. In the same spirit, in which
this Grafton was dictated, was the illustrious
Madison denounced as deserving halter"
But it is not a little remarkable that these enc
mics and assailants Of Republicansm, should
now have the hardihood TO claim the name and
birthright of Democrats for themselves
Mr.. Buchanan is an able and distinguished
leader Of the administration party in the United
States Senate, duly recognized and credited
as such. IT he is consistent, which we will
not doubt, he represents the anti-democratic
party. This only proves, what we have often
shown, that the administration party had gone
over to federalism, and the federal Sub-Trea-
sury was the legitimate offspring Of their anti
democratic nature and policy.
A remarkable coincidence will be observed
in the language applied to the Democratic ad-
ministrations Of Jefferson and Madison in
1915, and that employed now by the Globe
Ell i'd omne genus, against the consistent fol-
lowers of those administrations.

THE FINALE OF THE sUB-TREAsURY.
II is with heartfelt joy and pride, that we
congratulate the country on the signal defeat
in the Senate, yesterday, ofthe death-struggle
Of the Sub Treasury party.
The special deposite scheme, introduced
by Mr.. Buchanan, (but which, in fact, was
the Sub Treasury condensed, and so admitted
by some Of the partly as an amendment to
Mr.. Webster's bill, to repeal certain acts now
in force, in relation TO receiving bank notes in
payment Of the public revenue, was yesterday
defeated by the overwhelming vote Of 20 to
81!
Mr.. Wright, thereupon, gave notice that he
would to-day ask leave 10 bring in bill to
modify that part Of the deposite act Of June,
1886, which inhibits the employment Of any
banks as public depositaries, or the receipt Of
the notes Of any banks that may have issued
or paid out since the 4th day Of July, 1896,
any notes Of less denomination than FIVE
dollars. This was one ofthe principal objects
of Mr.. Webster's bill.
Thus, after having kept the country and
the business in state Of constant agitation
and alarm for more than year, with one of
the pilest projects that ever was brought for
ward by any administration or party, that had
the good Of their country in view and hav-
ing perseyered until it was defeated fourth
time, and the party utterly Frustrated which
advocated it, the country will now enjoy re-
pose. Confidence will return on the instant
prosperity will advance with rapid strides,
and joy succeed the state Of gloom that has so
long pervaded our fair land
The administration and the party are now
obliged to return to the State Bank Deposite
System, receive and pay out bank notes as
formerly and deal as they ought to, in the
same currency as the people
What humiliating lesson has the Majes-
ty ofthe people taught their rulers!
But There is one thing more. We 60 back
to the State Bank Deposiie system. Who is
to carry it out Surely not the present in-
cumbent Of the Treasury Department He
in whose hands, and under whose adminstra-
ton Of that Department, the same system has

banks will have any confidence. nor ought

MIR. WEBSTER AND BUCHANAN--THE
SPECIAL DEPOsRrE MILL.

/. Mr.. Buchanan,s Special Dsposite Bin
being under consideration yesterday, Mr.
Webster examined its provisions with his
usual logical and pathological accuracy, the
result of which was, that the author and his
project were both exhibited in SO ridiculous
light, that there was not single laugh to
choose between them. We must refer the
reader to the reported proceedings Of the
Senate, for the able and conclusive argument
Of Mr.. Webster; contenting oursef with
simply remarking, that the honorable Senator
showed that Special Deposiies could moi Dc
made transferable from Collector 10 Treasurer,
nor be made crediiatle By the bank 10 the draft
Of any indipidudl or officer; nor could
bank be answerable for the violent "rsmopai
Of special deposites" by thieves or robbers,
because the bank is not allowed to know what
a keg or chest, sealed up, and receipted for by
an outward description only, may possibly
contain. An instance happened the other
day Of a special deposite of jewels and plate
in the Metropolis Bank Of this city, in the case
Of Mr.. Vail, when the depositor was robbed
of large amount Of property, and yet the
bank not holden answerable, Of course. And
are the revenues Of the country TO be SO
placed for security, that the banks where they
are placed for safe-keeping, shall not be re-
sponsible for their safety Never
