+ There seems TO be systematic effort
on the part Of the more violent of the Van
Buren, party, to drive the people into a
support Of the Sub-Treasury scheme, by
declaring the only issue is between that
scheme and the National Bank. They
desire to tale advantage Of the constitu-
tional scruples which prevailed among the
minority opposed to the erection of Bank,
and insist that 'nolens vOlens' they must
support the Sub-Treasury. Do our edem-
ocratic republican, friends forget that Mad.
ison, whom they quote as the head of their
party, the political prophet from whom
their tenets are inherited, that he, even
he, permitted the erpediency of the insti-
tuition to override his constitutional obiec-
tons. He signed the bill establishing the
Bank. We only remind the democratic
republicans Of bis fact, lest peradventure
their consistency may be jeoparded by too
violent denunciation of National Bank.

gaclty, they have overreached themselves:
with their characteristic habits of perver-
sion, they insist on an erroneous issue,
and place their favorite scheme of Sub
Treasury, in faAe light

by Mr.. Van Buren,, since the defeat ofthe
Sub-Treasury bill, has developed another
