PARTY DESPERATION.

We believe the Sub-treasury party have
become so desperate that they will not stop
at any means whatever, no matter how des-
perate, or how corrupt, for the purpose of car
rying their fatal measure, the Sub-treasury
scheme.
We see the discipline and drill Of party so
rigidly exercised at this time, among the peo-
pies representatives, that some are driven,
through its terrors, from an honest exercise of
their own conscientious CONNECTIONS, in relation
to that subject, and to act in dsobedience Of
the expressed will Of their constituents.
There are those who in conversation, Free
~ and frankly acknowledge their own detes-
tation and adherence of the Sub-trcasury
scheme-who express their belief in its de-
structive tendency-who declare, that their
own individual interests will be deeply affect
ed by it--and who, Notwithstanding all these
acknowledge say they must give ii their
support, on account Of the party. ; The party,
and nothing but the party, enter into their con-
sideration. Is possible, that those men can
not be brought to the reflection, that something
else is due to themselves on the score Of prin-
ciples? But above all, can it be, that they
forget they owe something to their country
| Yes, 10 their COUNTRY.
Are we SO rapidly following in the course
of the Roman Republic, while in her rapid de-
cline, when men and party alone were consi-
dered, and principles and country were en-
tirely overlooked, which ended in its down
fall! We fear it is but too true.
We are the more induced to this reflection,
| from the circumstance, that we hear, some of
the sub treasury supporters do not hesitate to
intimate, they will find means to carry it
through, when it shall have passed one branch
of the Legislature. What these means are.
we do not pretend to insinuate. But it is
enough for us as faithful sentincls on the
watch-tower of duty, to sound the alarm to the
people. We call their attention to the follow
ing extracts from speech made by Mr.. Nc
Dufiie in the House Of Representatives in
ls24.5, on the subject of the election Of Pre-
sident being carried to that body, which are
pertinent to the present occasion.
He said, ''To say nothing of CORRUP-
TION, there are few among US, strongly as
we may feel entrenched behind our own Dig
nifty, who are not liable to have the sternness Of
our purpose relaxed by condesceading smile,
or an act Of Executive confidence, or oDrUM.
These little acts, which, in their combined
operation, constitute what IS usually denomi-
mated intrigue, are the means by which cum
ming asprants address themselves TO the vanity
and foibles Of those who fall within the sphere
of their fascination. THE PEOPLE, Sir,
CANNOT BE REACHED BY THESE
ARTS; BUT WE THEIR WISE AND

Arrest of The .Joncscs-- These four men, Lafayette,
ChamberiGne Caesar, and Achilles Jones, charged in
Tennessee with the murder of Col. Ward near
Memphis, were arrested, on the 22d inst, few miles
this side Of Fulton on Red river This capture was
made by party of some eight ten of The citizens
of Hampstead county, headed by MesSrs. Cheatham
Tyre, Ferguson, and one or two other grown men,
and about five striplngs or boys who were the
bravest Of the brave in the enterprise. II was
not, however, attended with much danger; the pr
soners attempted to draw their pistols and knives as
soon as the pursuing party came on them in gaop
but finding several Arkansas rifles levelled before
eyes that never winked, they made an unresisting
surrender One day more would have carried them
into the Texan territory.
The prisoners were brought 10 this place, and leh

COMMUNICATIONS.
TO THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE U. $.

II is the opinion Of many that the Senate
will be equally divided upon the Sub-treasury
bill when il comes to the vote, and conse-
quenily that you will have TO decide this mo-
mentous question. In this event. higher
and more abiding responsibility win rest upon
you, than upon any other person in this coun-
try. II will place you where you will have TO
choose between the triumph Of Executive
power, or the will oflho peoplebetween the
momentary victory Of party, or, the enduring
victory Of your country.
Sir, your public career has been long, and
not without honor--no man has been more
identified with thepcople than you have been
you have always lived with them and have
been one of them--their interests and their
feelings have pulsaied with you, as yours have
with then,--their adversely and their prospe-
rily you have shared In their cause, you
poured out your blood on the battle field Of the
Thames, and for your valor, and patriotism,
they have rewarded and honored you.
The dignifed station you now hold, you hold
at their hands,and all the poDertg ives gnu, you
hold in tustf for their benefit. Will you, then,
sir, in the event of the casting vote devolving
upon you, rise above the shackles Of mere
party, and influenced by the lofiier considera-
lions of honor and patriotism, decide for the
people and the country Or, will you be un-
mindful of the high obligations that belong to
the representative character, and alien to all
the mandates Of duty, stoop to the unworthy
influence Of party discipline and barter the
glory of your past life and the prosperity Of
your country for the feeble appreciation of the
few, and the execrations Of millions
No, sir, it cannot be so, if we know you;
with all your benevolence, you have firmness
mount love for your country, that will make
her and her interests the first objects Of your
fidelity, and the first duty to perform.
Cunning may try to pervert your judgment
as to public opinion-ingenuity may palter
with the generous feelings Of your nature, and
the worshippers of false gods may try to con-
vert you to their faith Ii there was any thing
like doubt as to the direction Of public OPT
Mon upon this Sub-treasury scheme, then
| might you be courted with some better chance
Of success but, as it is, there is no doubt;
through every channel that can convey public
opinion, dissatisfaction and condemnation of
the measure are seen, and felt, and heard. No
man knows this better than you, and so all
believe you have expressed it to others.
Some 81 Know the right and they approve it, too !;
Some Know tho wrong, and yet the wrong pursue"

THE NEW YORK ADDRESS.

We call the attention OF our readers to the address
Of the Conservative portion Of the Democratic party
in New York. Its length should not deter any person
from attentive perusa Of it, A graphic sketch Of
the rise Of Loco Focosm is given in the address, and
their principles clearly shown to be in opposition to
those maintained by Jefferson and Madison Every
Democrat in the country shoud give it candid exami

composed of men who have always been the friends of
Gen. Jackson and Mr.. Van Buren,, but who could not
subscribe the doctrines of the Loco Focos, and the
concentration Of all power in the hands Of the Execu-
tive The Wno,an

COL. HOWARD. OF MARYLAND.

We do know that Col Howard is, in heart, most
decidedly opposed to the Sub Treasury bill, and in
favor of Mr.. Rives admirable substitute But, seeing
how grossly all the true Democrats are prosecuted by
corrupt press he fears the responsibility of acting ac-
cordng to the dictates of his Judgment Many more
members Of Congress are in the same predicamcnt.
Col Howard is Of Marylands brightest ornaments,
and it behooves him, at this critical juncture, TO lend
his aid 10 the democratic He voted with Mr.
Rives all his important bills and ought not for con-
sistencys sake, to desert him now. II he would act
thus independently, he would reap rich reward

SPECIE ON HAND UNDER THE SUB lREAsuRY-W
learn from statement of the annual amounts Of
public money in the Treasury at the end Of each year
from 1889 to the 30,h Sept 1887, that the balance
in 1915 was over 10 millions-in 1916 over % mil

amounting TO 26, 7i9 S03 96-and in 1886 to 49,
los 435and in 1884, estimated TO be 80 $50 $50 or.
The Sub Treasury proposes TO keep all these mil

remptoriIy deny" that which the columns Of
has paper fully proved against him.
Ia noticing the first article signed Camil-
lus,' last simmer, the editor Of the Globe de-
MED that he had even violently assaiied Mr..
Gordons proposition; and called on that
writer ito point out the paragraph" in which
il had been done. We need not refer 10 the
manner inwhich the challenge was met, and
the editor overwhelmed with proof All will
recollect the numerous articles which were
quoted from, sustaining the allegations.
Recollecting the discrimination Of the Globe
on that occasion. we were disposed to expert
ment upon il, and see how far its EucRArEs
editor would pursue the same course on the
present. We therefore held in reserve the
proof, as strong as holy ,o,if, TO convict him,
until he had committed himself beyond the
possibility Of escape by any subierfage what
ever.
While we are upon the subject, we will
furnish the proof Of another assertion con-
tanned in Mr.. Tallmadge's speech, lest, the
Globe may deny that TOO. In reference to the
result of the New York election, Mr.. Tall
madge said:
81 knew that the official organ here, and other
Loco Foco prints, had in this way attempted 10 ac-
count for this overwhelming result in New York
but also knew that this charge from such sources
had been Indignantly repealed by the democratic
press Of the s,ate--and notwithstanding all this the

the repudated explanation Of the Globe, and ushers
il forth to the world"
