THE PRESIDENT AND THE BANKS.

The mos, amusing part Of the message, aler all
that has taken place, is the attempt OF the President
10 coquet the banks
Nothing that he has ever said or done against the
banks must be construed into hostility official or
personal" 10 them. On no He cherShes the
kindest feelings towards Them If they will only keep
out Of his way and mind their own buSness-a, he
understands it His friendship reminds Us Of the

To the Conservatives due the thanks Of the ma

Of the United States will demonstrate TO the world by the

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE--THE
TREASURY REPORT.
To tic Publisher Of The Madisonian:

To the Publisher Of the Madisonian:
These two State papers just laid before the Ynohc
contain a renewal of the Sub.treaSury scheme, al
ready twice recommended to the conside ration u
the Congress of the United States After hay
ing been five times rejected by that body in
one Shape or another and generally rcpudiated by
the people, obnoxious to their feelings and prelu-
dica TO the great interests of the country ii cannot
but excite the surprise of great majority OF the
nation that under such ciIcums ances, the mea-
is again brought forward and pressed with such
pertinacy by one who has avowed the principle
that, the national riAis the supreme lar Of he
Republic and on all subjects ikhin Tic limits Of ms
constitutional porcrs Soid be faithfully obcyed by The
public scrrdnt"
While, in my opinion, the President in his message
has not relaxed single ota from his former recon-
mendalions in favor of the Sub-treasury scheme,
and in his hostility TO the banking institutions and
mercantile interests of the country, yet that paper,
from its peculiar insidiouS and seductive character,
is viewed by most of the opposition papers, that
have seen thus far speak Of ii, as bearing sub
dued tone I" therefore il is look upon the presen
message rs far more Objectionable than either the
other similar papers cmanating from the same quar-
ter.
So far as the message treats on the public fnan
cos the sub-reasury scheme, the banks and me
currency, the Treasury Report is particularly refer
red TO- and appears 10, be the base on which me re-
marks are founded. Therefore, il appears to me-
important in arriving at just conclusion that the
two documents should be regarded as inscParaoy
connected with each other
As soon as can possess myself Of the Treasury
| md ME hal acc H. !
shall endcavor to place of the points treated o.
in the message and the report, before the public ~
as Think, their true light and bearing.
