Hon JAMES GAaLANp.--We have the happiness to
tative from Virginia, will remain IN This city for
day or two and has kindly consented to address the
public meeting 10 be held at National Hall, this
evening His fame as patriot and statesman IS al
ready inscribed on the roll Of the noble sons OF Wiz
ginia, and has become part Of the moral proper
"" of the American people. He was the first 10
raise the standard of Jefferson and unfurl the proud
banner of principle under which we are enlisted,
against the federal and consolidating, subversive and
revolutionary measures of the day, and the sJserra
tire practices Of those who dissent from them, but
Weld implicit obedience to executive dictation In
these DAYS of voluntary degradation when men call
those whom they have chosen as their servants,
Masters" when large party are bowling down to
lick the dust in obedience 10 an executive mandate,
it is refr shng to see an unbent, unwavering,
lutte mind and an uncorrupted and incorruptibe pa
triot's heart! Such meet with in Mr.. Garland.
He has remembered that che has country to rave as
well as party to serve He has looked at the past
prosperity and glory Of this country and he has felt
in all the glowing rapture Of the poet
"This is my own, my native land"
He has Witnessed The causeleSs Suferings of our
people, the departure of their glory and the destruc-
ton of their prosperity, and he has nobly come TO
their rescue despisng official irowns and partiZan
denunciations. With bold and manly eloquence
Of speech possessed BY few he unites ardent love
of country and zeal for the preservation OF repub-
ican institutions and those who may be able to hear
him this evening will enjoy an Intellectual treat OF
the highest order Our friends should be early in
their attendance as there will be full meeting.

THE CHARLEsros MEacuRY.--Tt will be seen by the
following paragraph, which We copy from Mr.. Cal
houn's trumpeeI and afologist, thai in making the
charge Of !" second ealumny" against the Madiso-
nian, he has unfortunately, instead Of quoting evil
dence to support his charge, only adduced evidence
TO show that his own charge was groundess calum-
ny, and direct attack upon The truth.
Read the charge
The enemies Of Mr.. Calhoun, amer having false
ly charged him with going over TO the Administra-
ton, because he supported divorce OF Bank and
State, now md themselves under the necessity OF
backing the first caumny with second-thai he has
deserted the Administration.
And now read the refuaton, which the Mercury
adduced as evidence in support Of this charge.
And then judge whether we charged Mr.. Calhoun
with deserving the focoS, or the Loco-focos
with deserving him.

however, but Of Calhoun Modification and Loco

IN a war Of determination against credit and

Hugh A. Garland has addressed long letter to
the Richmond Enquirer, in favor of the Sub Trea-
sury. 1t calls out the following remarks from the
veteran editor.
One of the great principles of the Republican
party is proper degree of jealousy and vigilance
over the Executive power. Vested in single hand,
in a Confederacy of twenty-six States endowed
with the patronage over thousands of officers; with
the expenditure of 90 10 80 millions; the highest
officers nominaedb by him, removable by him, and re-
sponsble to hnthe great fountain OF ofice, as well
as of political power; power naturally growing
with the growth of our counry-with officers multi
piled 10 an immense degree in the last forty years,
and destined 10 multiply every year--is II wonderful,
that the friends of free government should watch The
augmentation CT so great power with some little
inquietudcl The present Chief Magistrate cannot
remain for ever-can we repoSe equal confidence in
the wisdom and virtue of every successor! Is 1t ex-
traordnary therefore, that should regard mea-
sure which the best republicans pronounced In 1884,
as calculated to swell the patronage OF the Pres-
dent to a large extent with much Jealousy and APP
prehenSion 7 This is one OF the principles which
is equally true and striking in 1888, as it was
in 1884.
Has Mr.. Garland forgotten the principles which
were repeated 1884 l-The strong objections which
were urged to the Sub. Treasury scheme, By our
selves-by much ADLER menby all the slaunch
friends Of Messrs Jackson and Van Buren, 7 Can
we forget that in 1884 it said that il never was
the intention Of the Constitution to leave with the
Executive this most dangerous control over the pub
lie moneys ?'-Can we forget, that in 1884, 1t was
declared that every friend of President Jackson
would s" to man, BE UNITED AGAINST ANY Such MON
srRous ACCUMULATION POWER OVER rHE PUBLIC MO-
NEY, WHICH SUCH PLAN WOULD THROW IN 10 The
HANDS OF THE EXECUTIVEF Can ii be
forgotten, that il said in 1884, that had such
suggestion come from Gen Jackson, il would have
been rung through the Old Dominion with the
reiterated falsehoods about the Proclamation and the
Protest, as conclusive proof of all the aspirations
which have been charged to the Hero of Orleans
See (they would say) hor he wisaes 10 put the p6hG
atoncy directly into The PALMS Of his friends and
Paniaaas instead Of keeping on dcposte IN Banks,
WHENCE II CANNOT De DRAWN foa ANY OTHER THAN
PUBLIC PURPOSES WITHOUT CERTAIN DETECTION. IN SuCd

CAUSE FOR ALARM, and orght 70 giUc meir
mast lratch aiteRtoR 10 such an effort q ENLARlE
EXECUTIVE POWER, AND PUT IN ITS
HANDS THE MEANS OF CORRUPTION,
And are these the principles upon which Mr. Lelsh
expects to return 10 the Senate from the land o. 1ct-
terS9R n .
Are we to forget, that in 1884 the most auihorita-
tive of Gen. JackSon's friends declared tins %hoe

HON. A. w. SNYDER.

We were pleased to perceive that this In
dependent and patriotic Representative, from
Illinois, was among those who countenanced
and supported the Hon. Mr.. Hamer, when he
asked to have the rules suspended, for the pur-
pose of considering his highly important reso-
luton in favor OF sustaining the banks, Through
the whole of the perplexing warfare of the
sub-treasury, which 1.-THE party" have waged
against the people, Mr.. Snyder has been ever
found at his post faithful, able, independent,
and fearless champion in their cause. The
circumstance Of his having been reviled and
denounced " by authority is only proof of
his patriotism, and passport to the conf
dcnce and respect of his constituents.
We regret to learn that Mr.. Snyder intends
to decline reelection but we hope he will
be able to carry back to his constituents, at
the close of his term the good tidings that
the country is redeemed from the scourge Of
that disorganizing and revolutionary scheme,
which now presses like an incubus upon the
vitals of the country. S..

MR.. GREENoUGH'S VERTICAL WATER
d.. WHEEL,

We were equally surprised and delighted at exa-
mining model of Mr. Greenough's Water Wheel
al the Patent Office The end which the inventor
has attained that Of avoiding the loss Of poicer by
raising icater, has long been desideratum. Mr. G.,
we think has most triumphantly overcome this seri-
Gus and powerful obstacle to speed in propelling
boats. ." .,.
1t will not be expected of US, that we attempt 10
describe the construction Of the wheel, where no
description, without draught of the model, could
be we'll comprehended. 1t will be sufficient that we
state the result We may remark, however, that
each float, or paddle revolves on 4 separate axis,
entering and leaving the water perPendicularly,
acting upon it horizontally, and keeping at all times
at right angles with it.
Ii is ascertained we understand, that large paddles
will each, raise about two tons of water. With
eight paddles, each 10 pair Of wheels 1t will readi-
ly be seen how much power is lost in every revolu-
ton This highly important invention o1vates all
this vast loss of power-a power sufficient TO prope
quite szeabie boat .." ,"s ...
But wha, Is the surprising in all this, Is that
this important improvement, which has been patent
| ed many months, has not yet been adopted by any
boat upon waters. 1t cannot, however, ultimately
fail to supersede any species Of Wheel and be uni
versally preferred ...
Increased speed is the order Of the day, and the
characteristic of the age; and this new auxiliary
feel sure, will be secured by all steam
boats, ambitious of public appreciation and public
| patronage.

THE BURIAL OF THE sUB-TREAsURY
----. -------- hill.

Letter from a Loco oeo IN Washington, TO his
political friend.
"Not drum was heard, nor funeral note,
AS over the rampars we hurried"
Not word was said, not speech was made,
As the Bill through the House was hurried,
No kindly Conservative came 10 our aid,
As our favorile measure was buried.
The question was taken in silence and tears,
Or only disturbed by our sobbing,
While terrible doubts and awful fears
In the hearts of the faithful were throbbing.
No useless amendment encountered the Bill,
No previous question upon il,
Twas laid on the table desersed and still;
Precisely asst came from the Senate.
Sadly we counted the nays" to the last,
And the absent ones slroye 10 remember;
We said not word OF elections Just passed,
But we bitterly thought Of Norcmber.t
We thought of the time when the Wings with
their Banks
Should be in our Offices seated
Each allied Conservative fed from our ranks,
And the poor Loco ocoS defeated.
Harsh truths they will tell of us when we are gone,
And better men sill in our places:
But nothing we'll care, if they'll lei us hold on
To the gold that we've wrung from the people.
But half the great task of corruption is done,
Yet the people arouse from their sumberS:
OH could we but finish the work we've begun,
TITS little we'd care for their numbers.
We said not word in defence Of it, there,
We were not (to tell the TRUTH able;
But we rose from our seats IN silent despair, j..
And lefl il alone on the table.
