be that the proposed went alter the treaty

lay in the removal A more careful examination OF the
document will we think, show that the views taken Of
it al the moment not sustained by its contents. No.
thing is stipulated for the part Of the States, any
thing proposed, that is not TO be the result Of their
consent upon 4 view of their own interests and duties
No changes infringement of the articles of the treaty

facilities and advantages for the Cherokees, to proceed

~ Great efforts are made by Mr.. Calhoun and
his friends to convince the Southern people, that
they especially interested in breaking down the
Banking influence, to which, almost exclusively, they
ascribe the commercial rc-eminence OF the North.
The extract from the able speech of Gen. Waldy
Thompson, Of s. 6. which we insert this morning,
concIusveIy refutes this idea, and demonstrates to
oui satisfaction, and think candid mind can fail
to be convinced by his reasoning, that, If there be
a system OF policy more fatal to the South than ano
ther, 1t is the Sub Treasury scheme and its kindred
measures. Strange, that South Carolina and SO
many able men in other Southern States, should fail
to the lalacy of Mr.. Calhoun's broad assertion
unsupported as is even by an attempt at argument
whilst they turn deal ear to the most lucid eSpos-
tons Of its unsoundness; such as is that OF Mr..
Thompson for which we beg Leave to solicit gene
raj pcrusal.
