This system only needs TO BIO tried to insure 1t the
fullest confidence. II appears sound, and 1t would
put TO rest if they were susceptible OF shame, the
loud mouhed croakers Of the Van Buren, party, who
falsely charge the Wings with being the "irredeem-
able currency parity" when they have just enact
ed law authorizing The Government to issue ten
millions Of Treasury Shin PiastcTs, redeemabls on
ly in debts due the Government. The fact, that as
soon as the Wings obtained majority in New
York, they Immediately set about adopting safer
mode Of banking, ought to convince every one mat
the Wings the true friends ola safe and sound
currency. The Vanos, who have had, and now
have control in several of the State Legislatures,
have not done any thing to reform the banking sys
tenn but, the contrary, they have actually, during
a few years past, chartered an unprecedented NUM-
Der Of State banks upon the old system. We chal-
enge contradiction upon this point. 1t is true in
fact, in history, and demonstrahle by figures. What
then does this hue and cry about reforming the
banking system amount to, without action? 1t is

which actuated the Senators from Georgia declare
when the Presidents message delaying the iorci-
bic election of the Cherokees from their lands was

contemplated arrangement by its military force and

SuB-TREAsURy BILL.


The President in conjunction with his party in

that it ever will be till the people hurl the Office
holders from their stations and put honest men into

little less obnoxious and runous, In reference to
the Sub-Treasury project the National lneligeucer
makes the following remarks

placed. He has-l speak from personal knowl-

The insane aud pernicious measures OF the dom-

NEwpuRY BANK Mr. Newell, the Cashier of this
Bank has returned from Boston, and we are glad to
learn that he has been successful in his efforts to
effect an arrangement with the Suffolk Bank for
the REDEEM ption of the bills Of the Newbury Bank
| by the first named institution. This arrangement
will make the bills current all through New Eng
land, and fully establish the good credit which the
bank formerly possessed. We never doubted the
soIvency ofthe Bank or its ability to redeem all its
issues; and the result and the present condition OF
the Bank prove that the opinion which this paper
has ever maintained that the public were safe in
receiving the bills of the bank, not erroneous.
If any individuals have lost by dsposing of the bills
at discount they may charge it to the account of
those Administration papers which have deceived
tham for the purpose Of helping them on in their
hypocritica TRADE against banks, and for political
effect. Deception is their only political CAPT
tai; and if the sufferiugs of the public have not al
ready convinced them of tho truth of this remark,
the people are more creduous than sup
posed them 10 be. The bills fthe Newbury Bank
nre now received by other banks in New England,
and by individuals with perfect confidence.
Much credit is due to the Cashier for his indefat-
gable and we'll directed efforts sustain the credit
of this bank, and to tho public from loss; and
it is to be hoped, inasmuGh the bills now
lie will not hastily press them home for redemption
and thus needessly embarrass bhe labors Of this
gentleman in the management ofthe bank.

III The issue Of the new Treasury Circular
which in fact, prohibits the receipt of bank notes
for public dues of every bank in the country with
three or four exceptions has, in addition to the ex-
pressed determination of the Administration to car

and dependency over the affairs and hopes of the
business men of The nation. There can be no hope
Of a general resumption Of specie payments by the
banks so long as the Administration maintains its
present hostile attitude towards them Van Buren,
is determined they shall moi resume; and every
movement of his aims at this object.
