FEDERALISM.

Was there ever any thing in the world more
absurd, inconsistent, ridiculous and laugha-
BILE, than to hear supporters of the SUB TREA-
suRy SCHEME, call its opponents Federaiists !.
Is not this scheme the strongest federal mea-
sure ever recommended by any Executive
entrusted with the welfare Of the nation 3
And, when it was first and originally proposed
by the federal adversaries of Gen. Jackson's
administration in lS34-5, was it not de-
nounced by official authority :" as disorganiz-
ing and revolutionary" Surely measure put
down almost by reclamation, because it was
federal, cannot now become republican, sim
ply because it is taken up by the self-styled
leaders of that party who put it DOWN. We
cannot perceive how, or why, the nature or
principles of this scheme should be changed,
simply because its former adversaries have
now become its only friends But we can
comprehend how and why men change their
principles, when they are chiefly endowed
with the principle Of change. We can per-
ceive, for example, that there must be slight
change in somebody, when "Catilino" is
converted into Cato; and when the official
organ, which had long been his pillory, at
length becomes his sanctuary.
Federalism, in its original and appropriate
acceptation, never meant any thing but ten
dency to increase the executive power of the
federal government, to the detriment OF State
governments and State rights. And what
measure was ever more federal, than this very
Sub.tret sury scheme, whose uncompromising
adversaries are now denounced by the official
organ of the government as " Federditsts 2"
And did hot the Globe also denounce this
scheme as a "monstrous accumulation oil
power over the public money, which such
plan would throw into the hands of the Exc
cutive p
With what propriety can those who oppose
the accumulation of federal power, be de-
nomced as Federalists
in reference to the adoption OF the Sub
treasury scheme, the Globe held the follow
ing language In such a case, we should
feel that the people had just cause for alarm,
and ought to give their most watchful atten-
ton TO such an effort to ENLARGE Exc
CUTlVE POWER, AND PUT IN ITS
HANDS THE MEANS OF CoRRUP-
TION"
Perhaps the Globe can explain why those

even SO late rs the last And this man was only
a merchant but an AMERICAN MER HANI.
Mr. ROBERTS was native OF Portsmouth, New
Hampshire, and had been many years engaged IN
mercantile pursuits both in this country and abroad
Having become acquainted with the commerce OF
Asia and Eastern Africa, and having experienced
the obstacles thrown in the way of the enterprise Of
our merchants in trading with those countries, he
urged upon the Government Of this country the i'm
portance Of negotiating treaties with several oftbose
Eastern courts.
Early in 1882 Mr.. Roberts was selected by the Go
| vernment as Diplomatic Agent to conduct the nego-
lations, and sailed in the United States sloopof
war Peacock, for that purpose. He succeeded in
concluding advantageous treaties with the SULTAN OF
Muscat, and also with the KING o: siam. Under
these treaties the enierprize Of our merchants find
