GREAT ANTLSUB-TREASURY MEETING
IN TROY, NEW YORK

A very large meeting of the citizens oil
Rensselaer, county convened at Troy on the
sth instant, TO express their disapprobation OF
the Sub-Treasury scheme. The expression
was full and emphatic, the call for the meet
ing having been signed by about $500 names,
we believe, without distinction of party. The
following was the spirited preamble to the
call: .>" ....

We find the following in the Pennsylva-
Man of the | 9Th inst.

"The Madisonsu appears TO be terribly annoyed at
the great meeting Va Tins city in favor OF Constitution
al Treasury The editor OF that print, who suffers so
much the ght OF the call and the names appended to
IT, should have been present on the OCCASION TO the
multitude assembled and TO witness their enthusiastic
appreciation Of the resolutions in favor of the divorce Of
Bank and State lie would then have had even more
TO cry and groan over the melancholy prospects
OF the "ihrd party"
We have no "causc to cry or groan over
the melancholy prospects Of the third party"
On the contrary, we pity their delusion. In
our last, we proved distinctly by the testimo-
ny Of Jefferson, that it is the Loco Focos who
now make the third party, who are now do
ing moresto destroy themselves than all their
enemies united together could do.
And who were they, who evinced such
!. enthusiastic appreciation of the resolutions
in favor Of the divorce Of Bank and State ,"
The Pcnnsylvanan ofthe l4th.instant tells US.
OF those who SO "ably and eloquently" adj
dressed the meeting the most prominent APP
pears TO have been officers of the General
Government.
JOHN M. READ, District Attorney!
JAMES PAGE, Postmaster
Yes, the Postmaster, who has been per-
forming the part Of Sub-Treasurer since June
last! The keeper Of the peoples money
This government officer is one Of those, who
was so " enthusiastic" on the occasion--one
Of those who ably supported a resolution con-
demning the action Of the Peoples Represen-
tatives, instructing their Senators in Congress
to oppose the scheme, which if adopted, is to
concentrate all power in the hands ofthe Off
GERS Of the General Government. Such pro-
ceedings are libel on the principles, aud
SANDER Of the name Of Jefferson.
Now as to the "multitude assembed."-
We apprehend the multitude Of names assem-
bled together in the call for the meeting, made
much greater display than the multitude Of
individuals assembled at the meeting; for
we are informed, that the Court room in
which it was held, will not contain more than
six hundred persons with the closest stowage.
But what says the Pennsylvania to the as
semblage Of names in the call, Of those long
since gone to their long homes!

ARROGANCE OF THE OFFICE
HOLDERS.

The following is one of the resolutions
adopted by the office holders meeting at Phi
ladelphia, in favor Of the Sub-treasury, and
which were laid before the U. S. Senate by
Mr.. Buchanan on Thursday last:
Resolved, That the resolutions passed al Harris
burg, in relation to the bill reported by the Hon
Sas Wright TO restore the constitutional Treasury
were in open violation Of the will of the democratic
party of this State and of majority of the people of
Pennsylvania, and were carried by the votes Of
lew democrats, who must answer 10 their constituents
Tor their entire disregard of their wishes and the
betrayal of the confidence reposed in them
BY what authority, we should like 10 know,
was the declaration made, that the resolutions
of instruction "were in open violation of the
will of the democratic party, and of a majority
of the people of Pennsylvania How were
these things ascertained which are thus so
confidently and unquafiedly put FORTH They
have never been ascer,aned. It is mere de-
camation of the loco. toco sub-.reasuryites and
Office holders.
Look at the proceedingsrin Armstrong coun-
ty, which gave 1900 out of 1900 votes TO
General Jackson. Did they condemn Mr..
johnson, who brought forward the in
structng resolutions in the legislature Of
Pennsylvania No. They approved of the
measure, and sustained him by reclamation.
We are well satisfied, that a vast majority
of the independent Democrats of Pennsylva-
MIA, and an overwhelming majority Of the
whole people of that State, are opposed 10 the
Sub-treasury scheme
In what situation has Mr.. Buchanan placed
himself with the Legislature of his own State,
by giving his appreciation to the Philadelphia
proceedings and resolutions That is a
question we merely propose for others to an

Thus has old Time his changes wrought
Pom youth and beauty gay;
And now in when'd locks we mourn
That Time has passed away.
Then give us back the years far gone
When joyously and light,
The hours on golden pnions flew,
With rapd-airy fight.
Fancy still yet with magic form,
Uphods the wontcd glass,
When in fond dreams of youthful Joy
We child the hours to pass
Oh give US back those early years.
Glad days from so free!
And we, with laughing, gleesome voice,
Will loud, old Time, praise thee!

That now have pass d away,
For they were ve'd in sorrows cloud,
And painful was their stay
Youth has lis pleasures bright, but grief
OFT dms the laughing eye,
And hearts that seem unknown to care
In secret, breathe the sigh.
Who that has seen in early days
The hopes that glitter'd bright,
First ill with JOY his anxious breast
Then fade upon his sight
Who that has seen his dearest friends
Like leaves of Autumn fall,
Would still desire the years of youth
And sorrows to recall
