From the Lexington (Ya) Gazette, "a Wing paper }
N p. TALLMADGE.

If ever man deserved the thanks of his country
men, that man is N. P. Tallmadge, of the State of
New York. The glorious result of the recent cleo
ton in that State, by which this country has been
saved from falling prey 10 corrupt administra-
tion, is TO be ascrbed almost entirely TO bold man
ly, and noble stand, which he has taken in opposi-
ton to the b-Treasury scheme. Were the Wing
party in the Legislature of New York, TO refuse to
re-elcct him TO the Senate, they would deserve the
reprobation of all honorable men, and they would
fix stigma upon the character of the party, from
which it would never recover Nothing but the
most objectionable ingratitude and the basest selfish
ness can induce them to turn such man out of The
councils Of the nation, at such time as this And
more fatal blow to the Wing party could no, be
struck What man of sense could ever be willing to
act with the party hereafter; if Mr.. Talmadge is
turned out of the Senate2 Indeed, il would be high
time for every man of prudence and good sense to
abandon party which by an act of such supreme
folly and treachery, the rejection of N. p Tall
madge, would prove that 1t had neither good faith
nor good sense enough, to preserve the means ne
ceSsary to ensure success in its undertakings.
For ourselves We have not only no hesitation in
saying, that the Wings of New York are bound to
re-elect Mr.. Tallmadge; butwe ready to declare
that we regard the nomination Of Mr.. Tallmadge to
the Vice Presidency by the Wing party, as a GER
tain, and the only certain means Of success in the
next Presidential election.
We admit that the vote given by Mr.. Tamadge
in the Expungng Resolution, was a grievouS fault,
but even that fault great as it was ought to be par.
doned in man, who by his subsequent conduct has
justly entitled himself to the appelation Of The Pre-
server Of the Liberties of his country

From The Nashville { Tenn Banner.
MADNESS OF PARTY

We have rarely seen a more forcible illustration
of the folly and madness of party, than the attempt,
by highly respectable Wing print in New York, to
prescribe Mr.. Tamadge The manner, however,
in which the attempt has been met by the leading
Wing papers in that quarter sets us at ease with
regard 10 the possibility Of contingency which
would certainly prove disastrous to the Wing cause.
The ostensble ground Of objection taken by the
New York American TO the reelection of Mr.. Tall
madge, is his EIpnnging vote, although given under
instructions from the New York Legislature Well,
we agree that the vote was an improper one. But
what then Is a former vote on a matter not now
in issue to dis9ualfy the person who gave il for the
supper, of the Wings? If this rule be laid down,
what is to become OF Mr.. Webster and Mr. Clay a.
Have they not, in their time given votes as obnox-
ious TO large portion of the present Wing parry as
the vote in question by Mr.. Talmadge is TO the
American The principle involved in the obiec-
tion of the American to Mr. Tallmadge's reelection
out would intallibly defeat any Wing candidate that
could be brought forward for the Presidency.
Mr.. Tamadge has acted with singular frmness,
independence and patriotism. To him and his friends
are the Wings indebted, in great degree, for the
victory they have Just achieved He has shown him
self the Incorporating foe TO the system of Execu-
tive intimidation, seduction and terrorism prevailing
at Washington. He is fighting valiantly against the
one man power" He is an able champion of the
freedom of speech and freedom Of action in Repre-
sentative of the people. He goes for curtailing the
patronage Of the Federal Government and restoring
the constitution 10 its proper and Legitimate basis
Such man we regard as true Wing, whether he
voted for or against Expunging, for or against pro-
tective Tariff, for or against the U S. Bank.
We are afraid, that there are some Of the old Ma
tional Republican party who will neverlearn wisdom
from that best of all teachers, experience Men of
this class, however able and however honest will
ruin any party that they are suffered to lead

FOR THE MADIsoNIAN.
THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE AND THE
TREASURY REPORT.

And first, the writer refers to them, with respect
to the special deposite notion. This by fair imp-
cation, is repudated by them. The Message asserts
that though ga return to the simple and self-deny-
ing ordinances of the Constitution cannot but be
difficult time and discussion have already discover
ed the public opinion to be "that the public money
ought not to be diverted to private purposes" that
is, he means, to banking purposes. This assertion
Of the Message has been seized on, with avidity and
exultaton, by the friends of special deposites, as
being within the scope OF their plan and in fact its
very object and its supposed atlainable end. But
says the Treasury Report-"Though an apparent
security against some Of the Notifying embarrass
ments, resulting from a general suspension, might
be obtained by adopting system Of special deposes
yet in order to render each deposition convenient in
fiscal operations the banks must, as heretofore ex-
perienced, have access to the funds and be tempted
in an emergency to use them" Thus the Report, in
effect, declares the special deposite plan means
wholly inadequate to produce "the contamination
devoutly desired" by the Message that is to prevent
diversion Of the public money to banking purposes;
for, says the Report under system of special de-
posltes, the banks must have access TO the funds,
and be tempted in an emergency 10 use them"
Now, notwithstanding the special deposte notion
which, at BEST is only calculated if not designed to
cheat the friends of the Sub-treasury scheme, by
lulling them into false security thus condemned
and discarded by the enjoined declarations Of Opt
MON put forth in the Message and Report, it is
whispered in this region of country that the veteran
editor of the Richmond Enquirer proclaimng, as
one with authority and having salvation, slhe stone
which the builders rejected, the same shall become
the head of the corner" intends soon to avow him
self the advocate Of this special project thus repro
bated in high places 1t is also whispered among
those who argue from the premises, that the afore-
said editor will be, at least chary of praise if not
copious Of censure, in his comments on Mr. Sc
cretary Woodbury's Report
Query. Would it not be quite as well, that the
public money be used BY deposi,e banks for banking
purposes, as that it be diverted by Executive agents.
