THE NUPTIALs CoNsUMMATED.
The Bank Of the United States, Of Pennsyi-
wanna, and the Treasury Department II Ms
United States united.
The Treasury Department is now issuing
drafts on the Bank Of the United States, Of
Pennsylvania We have seen them. And
this, too, before that bank has resumed specie
payments! What shall we see next p
NICHOLAS BIDDLE the Financial Agent OF
LEVI WOODBURY., Secretary Of the Treasury!
Such is the fact, and il cannot be gainsayed.
The bankrupt institution" Of Mr. Biddle's,
the fiscal agent Of the Government! An in
stitution that but two or three weeks ago il
was asserted in the official organ, rould not,
nor could mol resume specie payments. Oh!
the monster! the monopolizer that shielded
herself behind the cotton bales OF the South
the money king the purchaser Of men and
votes, like, cattle in the market! the Sc
Queer Of members Of Congress from their
duty to their constituents the controller of
the public press the corrupt Of all corrupt
engines that ever was established amid free
people! These are few Of the epithets and
appellations that have been cast upon Mr..
Biddle's bank, by those and their friends who
have now entered into treaty OF amily;
whether defensive and offensive or not, we
do not know.
What will the Democracy say TO this
And what can those, their servants, who have
consummated the nuptials sayin explanation,
but that it is "A FAIR BUSINESS
TRANSACTIONS"
Where is your ub-Treasury your sepa-
ration from all banks--your divorce scheme
nov! Abandoned ANONYMOUSLY abandon
ed I! After having kept the country agitated
with them for a year, and brought ruin upon
thousands Of good honest citizens, in attempt
ing to force them on the country!
Is the "untried expedient" to be abandon
ed and the tried one to be resorted to? We
believe so. We believe the le premier pas
has been already taken in making Mr.. Biddle
and his bank the fiscal agent of the Govern
mcnt! Soon, therefore, will the Democracy
be called on to throw up their caps and shout
hurrah hurrah! for Martin Van Buren, and
Nicholas Biddle! Such as shall prove re-
fractory, will forthwith be denounced as
"federalists."
Such an event will not be so inconsistent
on the part Of those who support the sub
Treasury now, as that course on their part is,
after their denunciations Of that scheme in
1884.
The issue on the part of the Loeo-Focos,
is declared to be the sub-Treasury or Ma
tional Bank That, is adhered to with won
derful pertinaci,y. It is very clear to our
minds, that they are now playing with bow
that has two strings. II they find they can
not carry their sub Treasury scheme, then
they intend to come ont openly for National
Bank We do not doubt, that the moment the
word Of command issues from the Executive
mansion we shall find the faithful all ..follow-
ing in The footsteps" as in duty bound, shout
ing g union, harmony, elf-denial, concession.
Euery thing JJor the eause--nothing for men !"
even including our good compromising friend,
the editor of the Richmond Enquirer
While we are opposed to National Bank,
we do not hesitate TO express the belief that,
if the financial quacks and empires who have
had the management Of the public finances
for the last two or three years will resign and
go home, and let Mr.. Biddle become the
financial agent Of the Government, and have
the entire control Of the finances, it will add
greatly to the character, and elevate that De-
partment Of the Government; be a great
saving to it, and do much towards revying
confidence and fastening return Of general
prosperity.
