The Albany Argus publishes the remarks Of Mr.
SNYDER OF Illinois, assailng the editor this paper
The Globe once said Of one Of Its present allies,
that "he always resorted to, talsehood when truth
would serve his purpose better"
The Argus seems at present infected with SINH
lar propensiiy or least exhibits sort Of caeoetes
of disseminating every possible untruth and misre-
presentation that may be perpetrated by The most
shallow patizans or corrupted supporters of the ne
farious Sub-Treasury.
The editor Of newspaper, having any claims to
probity responsibility who will publish statements,
which are notorious and stale untruths, must labor
in an improbable and desperate cause
The testimony of tro disinterested and unimpeach-
able witnesses is sufficiently satisfactory to our
minds while the Argus may impose upon its read
ers the shallow tergiversations of the one shalower
apostae.

PENNSYLVANIA.

We observe that at the recent meeting Of
democratic citizens of the City and County of
Philadelphia, opposed to the sub-Treasury bill,
resolutions were adopted approving of the
conduct of the 9th of March State Conven-
ton, in placing the nomination of Governor
upon broad democratic grounds, and also in
favor Of the election Of DAVID r. PORTER, to
that office. No such resolutions, however,
were adopted at the meeting held in the same
city by democrats who are in favor of the pas
sage of the sub-Treasury bill. Are we to I'M
derstand from this that only the democrats in
that State who oppose the sub-Treasury are
striving to promote the election Of Mr.. Por-
ter?

nation Of David r. Porter, for Governor upon broad
democratic grounds, unconneeted with questions Of pc
culiar policy upon which democrats may honestly enter
tain differences OF opinion.
Resoipsd, That this meeting has the utmost conf
denee in the patriotism, integrity and capacity Of David
X. Porter, the regularly nominated candidate for Gov
BLEED pledge themselves TO exert all honorable means TO
secure his election TO that station.
Resoired, That, as democrats, we opposed to the
interference Of Government ofceholders in the primary
assembages Of the People, and that recognise tho
principles proclaimed by Thomas Jefferson in his letter to
his oce-hoders and Of Andrew Jackson in his inaugu-
raj address, TO be correct and that therefore, while we
recognise the right Of all who differ from in political
sentiment 10 assemble at all times together, and freely
express the opinions they entertain yet it with pain
perceived that at the recent meeting Of the friends
of the Treasury, held in this city, officer Of the
General Government addressed the meeting; pro-
ceeding evidently in bad taste in itself, and opposed TO
the principles Of Jeherson,an democracy.
Resoired That these proceedings be forwarded TO the
Senators and Representatives from this State with re-
quest that they be presented to Congress, and that
copy Of the be also forwarded every democratic
member Of the Senate and House Of Representatives
Resoiesd, That these proceedings be signed by tho
officers OF the meeting, and published in all the deno-
cratic papers.

NECESSITY OF EARLY ACTION.


We have received many letters from the
commercial towns anxiously inquiring the
probable fate Of the Sub-treasury Bill. They
tell us that all business is completely suspend
ed, and every thing paralyzed by the dread Of
that tremendous Bill One informs US that
he had intended to continue his operations in
the lumber trade, but is waiting like mari
ner upon the shore the clearing up Of the
darlfened heavens. Another says, his vessels
are kept in dock, and they cannot attempt to
cross the Atlantic until this question is set
tied. The banks are looking for the end with
the intensest anxiety. They dare not attempt
to resume-scarcely to do any business. All
enterprise moves as slowly through the body
polite, as blood circulates in state of CO.
agulation. The whole country demands I'M
mediate action. Let us have the question
and directly upon the merits-sette it now
and forever, if possible, and let the nation
breathe again.
We can assure our numerous correspon-
dents, with perfect confidence, we think, that
the Sub-treasury Bill will not pass Congress
in any shape whatever.

The Pennsyiranian denies that resolutions
approving Of the sub-Treasury bill, and in
favor of the Administration of Martin Yam
Buren, were offered and withdrawn by mem
Der of the 9Th of March Convention. We
still affirm that what we originally stated is
true, and that the Pennsylvania is in error.
We did not make the statement, without am
pie authority, viz: that of two of the delegates
who were witnesses Of the fact. We may
hereafter give the names Of the individuals who
offered the resolutions referred to.

MISS ELLEN TREE.

Mr.. EDrroR--It becomes us 10 say in gratitude,
something to the credit of the admirable perform
ances of this distinguished actress. Much TO the
gret of all she has left u.s. Ye, we are bound to
knowledge, that she has len behind a name which
will not soon be obliterated from our memories. AZ
ter the due and alterng reception she has received
from the patrons of the drama and the ladies parti
cuarly Of Washington, we should almost datter our
selves with second visit from Miss Tree.
Her person is commanding, and in general well
formed her eyes peculiarly vivid and striking;
smooth and well proporloned forehead; her teeth
are very white and beautiful; her countenance alto
geher is expressive, dignifed, and interesting. The
perfect and familiar grace with which she supports
her form, and the ease with which she carries out
her performance, are truly remarkable and praise
worthy We may Justly say, that no actress has ever
charmed Washington audience more thoroughly
than the subject of these remarks. She undoubtedly
stands high among the most talented performers of
the present time and is destined 10 be the brightest
star among her female companions of the stage
"Wi,h grace in her step and beauty in her eye"
united with most delightful and silvery voice. she
WILL in the course Of few years, stand perfect and
pre-eminent in her art If she has any defects,
which, if any, uining, they are certainly buried
under the inimtable grace OF her performances
Allow me- in the name of the people OF Washington
TO present her their most heartfelt thanks

loss and gain Of the nti-Sub Treasury party, have
happy way of knowing all the causes of things"
Thus:
Since the vote in October, the Wings have gained
four votes-Messrs. Kennedy Robinson, Prentiss
and Word-and lost four votes, Messrs Patton, re-
signed, Smith, of Maine, absent Lawer dead, and
SNYDER, (ichohas diaed ioith the Presilent.)

As the Sub-Treasury question is now
pending before the House, and alternative
propositions are doubtless presenting them
selves to the minds of members, it may not
be Improbable to republish the sentiments of
several leading authorities that have once ex-
ercised high influence with those who are
about to take the awful responsibility Of viola
ting the will of the people, by voting for
measure which "neither their consciences
sanction nor their judgments approve" Let
the Sub-Treasuryites look upon the doctrines
of 1884, and reconcile, if they can, the wide
discrepancy and inconsistency with which
they are about to involve and blast their po-
litical characters We solemnly conjure
themto "pause and ponder" They are un-
supported, by authority, by fact, by reason, by
experience, and condemned by the people.

ditions of which, they and their leaders were
