Political Intolerance and Pro.
scriptiOn.

l, iswell known tina, the grent ard only
test Of democracy, recognized IN modern
times by certain class of politicians, is an
unconditional support Of the Sub Treasury
Scheme OF the present Administration
But il cannot have escaped observation,
that many old fashioned Republicans, who
have long advocated the principles of the
Democratic party, have not been able to
discover IN what part of the Democratic
creed, any sanction can be found for this
modern hcresy. They do not believe in
changing their political faith, nor in trim
ming their sails to suit the temporary opin-
IONS that may float along under the impulse
OF every popular breeze. Aud hence we
find tina, large numbers Of those, who have
hitherto supported the Administration, and
who have grown grey in the service of the
Republican, party, openly condemn The
t-A--trt- ti-t- .a---I - - "a,
based, and refuse their assent TO ii in any
form. For this independent exercise Of
opinion, they have been denounced, with
great violence by the administration, as
'iraiiors'--'Judas Iscario,s'-'Benedict Ar
nolds,' and loaded with the most ignomin-
ious eplthcts which the calendar of Billings
gate and blackguardism can supply. To
diiier with the Administration upon any
measure recommended, how cver oppressive
upon the people or destructive TO the coun-
Try, is 10 incur the lasting hatred OF lis sup
portcrs; and, forthwith, the walls of wrath
are opened, and their contents poured upon
the devoted heads of the refractory.
The intolerance and prescription which
has always been practlsed by the party in
power, was Fever exhibited with more VIC.
lence, than upon the Sub Treasury question
Mr. secretary Dickerson, recently dsm ssed
from the Cabinet, has published some very
candid opinions on this subject. He avows
himself IN favor of the Sub -Tresury Scheme
bu, has the frankness TO acknowledge that
the INTOLERANCE AND PROSCRIP-
TON exercised against those who have
not been willing at once TO abandon the
Depcsite system, aud adopt that of the Sub
Treasury, has done much TO estrange from
the Democratic ranks many who had been
the most sincere friends of the admiuistra-
tion."-Tfoy Hhig
