From The N. Y. Evening Post.
Cadis, august IA, 1888.

Somewhat to surprise we have read the following
paragraph in the Philadelphia American Sentinel
"We regret to perceive that resolutions have been
passed in favor Of the Subreasury system in Of
the wards OF the city and county Of Philadelphia. To
distract the coming election with that question be
attended with no good consequences, and may produce
results disastrous to the best interests Of the party 1t
is well known, that large number Of the best demo-
Gratis in the State and Union opposed TO this measure
and in much the vote in Congress and the result
Of the recent election, proves that It sleeps the
sleep OF DEATH is the height Of folly agi,se again
The prescription practised against men who have avow
ed opposition to the scheme only calculated to aid the
opposition to the democratic cause, and distract and
divide ourselves"
In reply to this, we have only to say that the de-
mocratic party retain the majority except by
abandoning the principal measure now in controversy
between that party and its adversaries, willing
60 into a minority immediately.
FOR OUR PART, WE HOPE THAT THE
PRIMARYMEETINGS, BOTH In PHILADEL-
THEIR GROUND DECIDEDLY ON THE IN
DEPENDENT TREASURY SCHEME; THAT
THEY WILL PROCLAIM THE FULL AND
E En-, r APPROVAL OF 1T TO BE AN IN
DATES WHO ARE TO RECEIVE THEIR
SUPPORT; AND THAT THEY LOOK UPON
ALL THOSE WHO WOULD COUNSEL ST.
CONTROVERSY AS CONCERNED IN A CON
SPIRACY TO DECEIVE AND BETRAY.
We are glad to see the above. 1t shows
our Conservative friends in Pennsylvania in
what light they are looked upon by those who
claim TO be organs Of the Administration
Although the Post was read out of the pale
Of the party, by the Globe, only two or three
years since, it has since been taken into favor,
and is now in full communion whit, the Argus,
&c. What are the Conservatives here told
Why, that they must not even think for them
selves and the editor of the American SEN
tinel, for having expressed regret that the
question Of the Sub-treasury was brought for
ward at the primary meetings, is told emphati-
cally, that he is regarded as one concerned
in conspiracy to deceioe and betray"
Where is there man, animated with the
spirit Of a freeman, who will not resent and
resist such intolerant and proscriptive Ian
guage as that Of the organ of the Loco. foco-

that CARLrN, the Loco.foco candidate for Co

hai the banks Of this State resumed specie payments
under the full operation Of the Sub-TIeasuy system
ana not only this but business has gone successfully
notwithstanding the operation Of the resumption and the
sub treasury al the same time. -AIbany Argus, 20h

Does tho Argus expect to "bamboosls"
even half groivB children with such stuff as
the above II well known to all, who paid
the least attention to the subject that, the re-
sumption Of specie payments in the State Of
nominal thing. The banks did not, nor could
not do any business while the Sub Treasury
question was pending. Nor were they able to
do SO until the banks in the adjacent cities
did the same. Will the Argus contend, they
also resumed, "under the full operation Of the
Sub-Treasuryl"
They did not, nor could not resume, until
after the Sub Treasury had been disposed Of
aud voted down in every shape in which it
was brought forward, by the Representatives
Of the people. And what did the administra-
ton dot Did they adhere to the Sub Trea-
suryl No, certainly not. Some days before
the day named for resumption in Philadelphia,
the Treasury Department had made the Bank
of the United States Of Pennsylvania lis fiscal
agent, and was issuing drafts upon it in both
large and small sums
This is what the Argus calls the full opera
ton ofthe Sub Treasury system, under which
the banks have resumed, and business has
gone on successfully.
Away with such attempts Of the Argus to
deceive the people.

THE HON. DANIEL KILGORE, OF
OHIO.

This gentleman, it will be recollected, was
who adhered to their COUNTRY rather than
PARTY, that formed the majority that defeated
the Sub-treasury in the House Of Represen-
tatives.
We are rejoiced that Mr.. Kilgore is brought
out again candidate for reelection, and do
not entertain doubt he will be returned again
to Congress.
We request an attentive perusal Of the fol-
lowing, from the Cadiz Ohio, "ORGAN." 1t
seems the announcement, signed by fourteen
of Mr.. Kilgore's constituents, all Of whom,
but one, were the supporters Of Mr.. Van
Buren, for the Presidency, could rot find adj
mission in the Sentinel, a Loco.f oco paper Of
the same place. Whether it is one Of the
"By authority" presses or not, we do not
know. II is thus that American freemen are
prescribed, If they dare to dissent from any
measure emanating from the Executive. As
Mr.. Kilgore once made nails for living, he
is of course, a Mechanic, and is included
among the Thinkers and Cobblers" pro-
y
scribed by the Globe.
He is CONSERVATIVE, which with the
Globe and Albany Argus, is an objectionable
sin.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF .DANIEL Kill
GORE FOR CONGRESS.
The following article will explain itself; but we
are requested to say, in connection with It's publica-
ton, that the gentlemen whose signatures are attach
ed to the announcement, were the supporters Of Mr.
Van Buren, for the Presidency, with but one excep-
tion. These gentlemen are not, however the advo-
Gates Of all his measures-especialy the Sub trea-
sury system, and they believe that their representa-
tive, in giving his vote against similar measure in
1884, when il was denounced by the Globe, |" Re-
roiionary and disorganieing acted consi sten with
the principles Of Free untrammeled, and patriotic
democracy and they also believe that his opposition
to the bill of the last session was based upon the
same principles They believe, as did the Wash
ngton Globe in 1884, that the provisions of the Sub
treasury bill, are Shbrcrsiue of the fundamental
principles Of The Government" They believe that
the "dirorce" of the interests Of the Government
from the interests Of the people, by establishing
currency exclusively metallic for The former and OF
deprecated paper issued BY Government for the lat

the greatest safeguards of our Republican insttu-

THE GLOBE AND THE NAVY.


Ma. Error: As much stress seems to have been
laid by the Globe on an article that appeared in the
Army and Navy Chronicle of the 18th Of April last,
signed W., beg leave to send you the reply to that
piece published in the same paper, signed X, with
ARGUES, that you will give it place in your paper.
The Globe appeared evidently much tickled at
finding that ONE officer in the Navy had expressed
opinions about the service similar to its own but if
ii will afford the editors Of that paper any satisfaction,
can assure them, that the distinguished officer on
whom they relied for support and countenance, is
about as much ncensed their late attack upon the
Navy, as any man in it and feels highly indignant
at their base attempt to pervert his language and in
tentions.
The author Of w. is but one of the thousand Off
GERS belonging to the Navy and there are many
who are disposed to take what he has said, with
liberal allowance for shrinkage. Even he, however,
has been heard to remark, that but for the want Of
room in small paper he would have had gone into
the true of the difficulties complained of; and
furthermore, that he considered the answer made by
x SO full and satisfactory, to render any thing
further from w. unnecessary. L.

FOR THE MApIsoNIAN.


In late number of the Globe, In No 3, respecting
Mr.. Clay and National Bank, the following ex-
preston may be found: All turncoats and rene
gades are proverbially more nsoent and unreenting
to their former associates than their original ene-
mics" The truth will out; and II is upon that
principle of mans conduct, that the insolence and
implacable luminosity Of the Globe writers towards
the Conservatives, may be accounted for. The
Globe writers are "turncoats" as respects the e1-
policy and patronized measures Of Gen. jack
sons administrations they are renegades" from the
State Bank Deposiie system, in support Of which
they were formerly united with those who are now
Conservative Republicans. Hence the Globe wri-
tiers are now more insoent and unreenting" to the
Conservatives "their former associates" than to
their original enemies" John C. Calhoun and his
followers, who, notwithstanding the advances and
embraces the Globe, still regard It and its writers,
il not with scorn, with unsuppied and unsuppiablc
want of confidence C.
