at an early day take the necessary for the es

.PARrY WITHOUT PRINCIPLES"

The Globe, of Friday night, contained
discourse under the above head, from which
we extract the following than which nothing
could be conceived more perfectly applicable
to the Sub-treasury party.
Mark, attentively, the language of the Off
cial organ:
No party can long hold together which is composed
of such discordant materias party thrive for
any length Of time which abandons its principles TO
achieve success trusting the chapter Of accidents,
and the influence Of power, enable il, ultimately, TO
carry out its real designs"
What materials compose the party which
endeavors to fasten the Sub-treasury on the
country, claiming through it a monstrous en-
largement of Executive power and patronagel
Among them are seen some who, in 1916,
were the advocates OF the tariff, mingling with
those who, in 1882, '33 and "a, were ready to
dissolve the Union, on account of the tariff,
and even threatened it, in their attempts to
overthrow it. Old federalists who denounced
Jefferson and Madison condemned the war,
and upheld the National Bank, but now OPP
pose it, Foreign Radicals: Agrarians Of the
Fanny Wright school Mormonites: Adolf
tionjsts and Canadian Revolutionists, or pa
Hiols." We agree with the Globe, that "no
party can long hold together which is COM
posed Of snch discordant materials"
That is not all. The most prominent ad-
vocates and supporters Of the leading party
measure now, are those who, in 1884, with a
united and loud voice, proclaimed il to be then
" disorganising and revolutionary" Well
may the Globe say, "no party can thrive for
any length Of time which abandons its princi-
pies to achieve success"
When before did the country witness sys-
tenn of party discipline, enforced with the
rigor like that which has reigned since the
President first recommended the Sub-treasury
scheme! When before did the country wit
ness what we have since seen, the federal
officers, from the highest to the lowest, by
direct interference, bringing the patronage of
Office, and the whole power Of the Federal
Government in conflict with the elections;
and thus exertng the influence of power to
enable it, ultimately, to carry out its real de-
signs ~ "
The following language Of the Globe, ex-
tracted from the same article, affords the pro-
per commentary.
"What honor can there be to party in political
triumph without the sanction Of its principles, rather
without the stamp of public Reproduction upon them /
How humiatng the spectacle presented by party,
which has thus been compelled to sacrifice all its
cherished doctrines all those essential opinions to which
it has been welded for years"
"The party without principle ~ Where is
there one to be found in this country,to which
this cognomen is so appropriate as to the Sub
treasury party?
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-11-21

among from one hundred and fifty TO two hum
dred Collectors and Receivers, each Of whom
has been permitted to act as Sub-Treasurers
and depositaries Of the public money for the
last eighteen months We fear there will be
exhibited a Flemish account empty boxes"
when the day Of settlement arrives with many
Of them.
With such facts and such proofs as these
before him, we do hope, that, il Mr.. Van Blu
rem should not qualify the language We have
quoted from his message at the extra session,
he will, at least, abandon the position he then
assumed, and in the message now forthcoming
speak ofthe comparative safety Of the officers
Of the Federal Government and the banks,
according to their merits as tested by expe-
rience.
