and that we need a remedy; but many are yet too
much under the influence Of party discipline and the
delusion Of names to know what to do. They have
been in the habit OF supporting the administration
and all its measures, and now If they 10 oppose
them, Of course they are no longer democrats. but

TIE FALSE ISSUE.

Every effort is now made by The pensioned
presses Of the Snb-treasury party, to raise
false issue. They hive succeeded SO well
heretofore upon it (the Bank that they wish
again to make that the issue before the people.
They do il, because they well know, that If
they can succeed uponthat false issue, in car
rying a majority Of the people, they will
afterwards experience 20 difficulty npon
the real one, the sub-treasury. They know
il they can succeed upon the issue of their
own creating. artifemlly, that, then their Sub
treasury scheme can be easily established,
and the banks throughout the country, one
after another, be annihilated by them.
To accomplish this, the Globe writers labor
day and night The Richmond Enquirer too,
"ss in duty bound" follows suit, and in ini-
tatlon Of, and employing the moral, elegant
language Of GoUGE, talks Of HEAyEN, EARTH,
and HE'LL, being moved in favor Of National
Bank. ,
Why does the Enquirer keep the Sub
treasury out ofthe question altogether Now,
that the dog-days are passed, md the weather
has become somewhat cooler, we shall pay
our respects to our veteran friend Of the En-
quirer. We have carefully laid aside his pa
