SENATOR TALLMADGE AND HIS AS
.~" ~ SAILANTS.
Pulehrum est accusari ab aceusandi


The Globe and the Albany Argus, the two
chief lctors of the Sub-Treasury party, have
discharged the duties imposed upon them by
their masters in the ceremony of prescription
with signal alacrity, not to say fury, on the &C.
cason of the presentation of the petition Of
the 10000 voters" by MIR. TALLMADGE.--
The former organ, with an affectation Of orien-
talism, headed an article, "THE PANIC OF
THE MORNING HOUR" and commenced it
with the following specimen of civility and
tolerance:
A few mornings since we stepped into the Senate
short time before the prescribed hour for the main de-
bate, and we found Mr. TALLMADGE enacting the part
performed of yore by Mr.. FoNDExTER during the pre-
valenca Of the first panic. Mr. TALLMADGE even bor-
rowed Mr. PolNDExTER's figure of the comet emitting,
however, that it shook from its fiery tail pestence and
famine. AS Mr.. PoINDExTER then threatened General
JACKSON with the loss of Mississippi, SO Mr.. TALL
does now Mr. VAN buren,, with that of New
York The groundwork OF his fury against the present
and past Administrations, remonstrance signed by
nine thousand legal, and doubtless Federal Of
the city OF New York, insisting that they utterly
ruined, and with them the whole country, unless the
public revenue was disposed OF in such way that they
could get the of it, Mr.. TALLMADGE was quite
volcanic the occasion. He overlooked with figures
which ran the Administration like red hot lava.
He inexoraby resolved to bury alive, unless
would surrender to that beau ideal credit system which
had brought TO his aid the clamorous debtors who, with
nine thousand voices, proclaimed that they utterly
undone if Congress refused to furnish the National
Treasury the banks enable them increase their
Indebtedness. .....
The editors Of the Argus, in their paper of
the goth instant published the Globes report
,c il ~
Tallmadge and Wright, and accompanied its
publication with the following editorial COM
ment:
The passages in the Senate of the United States be-
tween Mr. WRlGHT and Mr.. TALLMADGE, a sketch Of
which copy to-day from the Globe, will arrest the
attention of every reader
Nothing be more felictous than the replies of
Mr.. WRIGHT. They present the calls of the federal
opponents Of the administration and their ally for
farther agitation and for panic movements-he ques-
ton OF a resumption of specie payments and the crcdl
table efforts of banks to effect it-and finally
the changed attitude Of his coleague-wh the utmost
deIcacy OF manner bat with an effect that will be un.
derstood and felt aye and seconded with cordially by
the united democracy Of the State.
Can Mr.. Tallmadge hope that his present position
Will be misunderstood by the democracy of the Union,
and especially by the democracy Of the State Of New
York! Are not the panic effods and distress
dechlatoh OF the enemies OF the democratic party and
the democratic administration, when, in 1894 they
sought TO PROSTATE both at the oostool of Federalism
and the Great Moncyed power Of the country fresh in
the recoIectons Of the people Have the republicans

who, IN 1884, leagnng with the Bank Of the United

ton Is not the attitude of Mr.. TaIlmadge at this
moment identical with that Of Mr. Ewing, and Mr. Web
