THE CONSERVATIVES SUR
TREAsURYITEs.


The disappointed sub Treasuryites are in
a violent rage against the Conservatives in
some quarters we see them denounced as
Jndass, us traitors, in fact, stigmatized with
almost every epithet to be found in the
vocabulary.
We take the following from the Pittsburg
Manufacturer, real Buchanan like, sub
Treasury paper, as illustrative of the vindic-
tive feelings that exist against the Conserva-
tives.
The following are the renegade democrats who
deserted and betrayed the principles of the party that
elected them TO Office, and joined the ranks Of the
IT, 8. Banks dependents:
NATHANIEL b. BoRDGN, OF Massachusetts.
JOHN G. CLARK, Of New York
ZADoK Casey, Of Illinois.
JOAN EDWARDS of New York.
HENRY A. FosTER, of New York
JAMES GARLAND, of Virginia.
SEAToN GRANTLANn Of Georgia.
GEoRGE w. HoPKNs, of Virginia
DANIEL. KLooRE, of Ohio.
HUGH LEGARE, of South Carolina.
WIN. L. MAY Of Illinois.
JAMES M. Mason, Of Virginia.
ARCHIBALD STEuART, Of Virginia
ABRAHAM VANDERvEER Of New York.
The vote on the engrossment Of the bill stood ayes
ILL., nays lbs, sirteen members who were elected by
the friends OF the independent Treasury BILL voting
with the opposition. Il will be seen that if these
traitors to their constituents had declined voting the
friends Of the measure were able to carry the bill;
and II they had truly represented the principles Of
their friends, this salutary measure OF the govern
ment would become law by handsome majority
This vote cannot be regarded as an expression Of
the Democratic party; the people, the constituents
OF the inglorious sixteen resolute as ever In
their determination to separate the government from
the banks. The vote shows nothing but The ability
OF the banks to seduce democratic representatives
from an honest discharge Of their duty. Although
representatives may prove faiihless, and give the
enemies Of the country partial triumph, YET the
people true to their interests and will again
rally to the rescue Of the country from the graspng
bank arstocracy that is striving to obtain power
by every species of corruption.
II is gratifying to know that every democratic
member from Pennsylvania stood firm to the princi-
pies OF their constituents and supported the bill.
"These traitors to their constituents I-
indeed "And if they had truly represent
ed the principles Of their friends, the saluta,y
measure Of the Government would have be-
come law" These gentlemen represented
the principles OF their constituents---th they
knew not, and cared not for any other
!" friends"
These honorable, independent men, had
the frmness to prefer their COUNTRY, its in
terests, those of their constituents, and their
well known principles, to the principles Of
friends, in the favor and power Of the Elk
ecutive. Their constituents, we are confident,
will sustain and admire them, while their
country will honor them for having preserved
it from the grasp Of Executive ambition
Representatives have proved " faithless,"
but "the enemies Of the country" did not
thereby gain even partial triumph"
Who were those who voted for the abomi-
nable sub-'freasury bill, in opposition to the
expressed wishes Of their constituents. We
will name few of them. ". ..:.
