TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

GENTLEMEN We shall never see the time when
there will not he line OF drmarcation between those
IN favor u strong FcdernL GDrernmGRf (who have ap
proprlaely called themselves well been called by
Others Federas,s and those in favor Of preserving, as
far as practicable The independence and strength oil the
State Governments, and OF limiting the powers oil The
Federal Government smp 10 the grants contained IN
the Constitution, and SUCH incidental powers only as
shall be necessary TO curry those granted into execution
These last have been called Republicans, Democrats,
NC The struggle which has existed from the begin.
ninS VIII never cease Tor moment, until the final emu
or consolidation OF this Conederacy into one great
NATIONAL central Government unless great
justice, hrnness and moderation, shall be exercised by
The Republican party Free and open discussion, upon
all subjects connected with the public veal and lnde.
and action thereon have been nCu
Gated by The Republican party the surest foundations
for Freedom peace, prosperity and the enjoyment OF
constitutional rights ana privileges. But alas we now
behold The Republican party divided upon q measure
which, few years ago, they almost unanimous in
reectng as dangerous the purity Of the Government
and safety OF the country: The Conservative party,
not scruplng TO affirm that they entertain the OPT.
MONS Of the dangers of the Sub Treasury scheme
which the whole party entertained in 1885, while the
Sub Treasury party deDounce the Conservatives as
dera!lsts, deserers &c Intolerance presdes, as the
master genius OF the times The leading CONSERVATIVES
seem TO have planted their standard upon the old general
State Bank Depose system Of General Jackson, while
the SubIreasury appear to huye laid violent hands
on General Gordons Sub-Treasury Wing measure
the paternity OF which Traced 10 Mr.. Calnoun, an0
have planted their banner upon that ground The nan
ed of these parties 10 have higher ambition
than the famous Kilkenny cas-"to eat each other up.
Should they, however, leave any fragments behind
there is party standing by which will kindly step in
and finish the work
Is il not absolutely CERTAIN that neither -of these
schemes 1.-THE Sub Treasury, general State Bank de-
pose) pass Congress, if passed, be tolerated by
the people Of the U States? venture 10 Affirm it. And
affirm another thing that the people are daily losing
confidence in the lenders OF these schemes. ] mean
MeSsrs Benton and Wright the side, and hlessIs
Rves aud Tallmadge on lbe other The people now see
or think they see, these acting from motives of OBJ
snacy and personal feelings without regard TO The pub
lie welfare. What will it profit either 10 carry their
choice measures if they lose their places and des
troy the Republican pary? which last 10 as inevitable
as that either both persist The people OF the u. 3
will never be satisfied with either scheme The 5 pecIa
Depose plan, or National Bank will be adopted. Why
not bring in Special Opposite bill at once-pass, and
try ii: A National Bank bill cannot pass while Mr.
Van Buren, is President. All parties might concur in a
Special Deposle scheme and give ii fair t1la for the
sake Of the people, and the good of the country.
