public money and 20 continued toItake the
public money under the State bank de-
posiie system, until that system
failed. Now the wing papers have the
audacity and bold recklessness TO assert
that Swartwout is defaulter since the
sub-treasury system commenced. Such
is the course pursued bya party who have
taken means, whether just or UNJUST
whether Memorable or not, to accomplish
what We believe would eventually be the
downfall of American liberty, and upon the
ruins of which, would be reared great and
powerful moneyed influence, that would
sweep over this free land with more deadly

sWARTWoUT DEFALCATION.

The Wing papers throughout the union
are trying TO make it appear that this de,
falcation was owing 10 the sub treasury
which has been partially in operation since
the banks refused TO pay specie for their
paper, which IS false in fact and in truth.
Samuel Swartwout commenced extracto
ing the public moneys shortly after he was
appointed in 1929 at the time when the u.
5. Bank was the place of depositing the
revenues collected at New York and from
that time up to the date that The deposites
were removed into the State banks
and TO the time that these institutions
stopped specie payments, about this time
Swartwoat was removed from Office by Mr..
Van BIren, which brought The curses of
every .lig journal from Main to Georgia
upon him for the removal of this officer
from Office. And now the same wltk
journals are allcrying out in every section
of the country, that Swarwout IS a sub
treasury defauter when they know that The
contrary is the fact. Gen. Jackson ap,
pointed him 10 Office in 1929 wherelhe con
linued for the term of seven years,

Whatever God knows, is certain, fixed

existence he intended creating-accord-
ingly he made him (apright, holy) I'm his

in which he was first created. Then man
has undergone changc-an alteration
How has this happened-since all Of Gods
works are perfect, necessarily Sole be

in the attribute Of Poagcr for execution he
is also perfect. And these projections
are attested by all his inGnimGte ,rorkS,
and all his animate also of which we have
any knowledge, save only Angels and

We see nothing in The Message that

or that should be rudely assalled by the

his former opinions expressed in his former

Gen. Swartwout, late Collector of the
Port of New York, is we understand, a
defaulter for more than million and a
quarter of dollars, and has left the country
for England. In 1884, the General be-,
came Conservative and in the next year

ssNever was a more pregnant illustfa-
ton of the looseness and inefficiency of the
system of deposile With the banks han
this case of Swartwodt The defalcations
ofthis officer commenced in 1929, when
the United States Bank was in full opera
ton, and all the depesites of the public
money were made with that Bank. They
were continued under the system of de-
p,sites with the State Banks. When
the banks suspended specie payments, the
same fraudulent keeping back oftle public
money in his hands went on, under the
system of special deposile with the banks,
till his retirement from Office Thus all
the systems which either the Wings or
Conservatives rely on for the safe custody
of the public funds have been tried ia lis
case, namely:
'sThe system of deposite with a greu
National Bank
"The system of deposiIe with the State
Banks"
"The special der asite system"
And all have proved as impotent and in
ef1ectual to prevent The criminal abstrac-
ton and improper application of the public
money, as if The government had taken
Mr.. Swartwoul's bare word that he would
pay over the money which he
had collected.
"Had the Constitutional Treasury bill,
introduced at the special session of Sep.
TENDER, 1888, which imposed strict ac- i
on the receivers of The public /
money, whichcompelled them TO give The
amplest security, and placed them under

bill passed into law instead of being re-
ected as it vas by The Wings and Con,
servatives, large proportion of this mo-
aey, which will now be lost 10 the nation
would have been saved.' 1

conferred upon that court and the Judges
thereof. the same powers as were by lazy
vested in the circuit courts OF the United

that the repeal of the first menuoned get,

Whatever difference ofopinion may exa
