THE INDEPENDENT TREASURY

MIR. Leigh. late distinguishes Senator
OF Virginia, in 4 speech delivered bv him in
the to"n OF Petersburg in September. 1874
drew, as with the inspiration of prophecy.
what would be the features Of bill, found
td upon this diuorce principle. 1t is as fol-
lows:

!ished AT the seat Of Government, under the
management, ola Treasurer, and local Trca.
Jury Offices established in each of the States

management Of Assistant Treasurers. re-

enbezzlement and felony in any Assistant
Treasurer to use for his own purpose, lend
10 others, or pay away any money. excepe
to warrants drawn by the Treasurer, in duo
form Of law"
''in my opinion, the trainers of tho Con.
s'I'ution had not thought of any bank aeen-
cy whatever. State or Federal. either for
facilitating the operations of the Treasury.
or for regulating the currency; ami that. to
administer the Government in the true snir-
II oi the Constitution. and according to the
intention of its founders. the Treasury oueh,
to he divorced from all come xion with tho
banks, State or Federal"
We now ask all candid minds if the indie.

Van Buren g. Co. When the State Riohte
men took the ground Of Div ,rcc about tho
period when MIR. Leigh made his Spcccb.

came ont in most vehement opposition.-
And has il indeed come to this, that this yi-
tai measure must now be repudiated by tho
very Party which originated it because for
soolh.i's former enemies have thought prop
or to give it their support! Are we to bo
cheated out Of our State Rights principles
because Federalists embrace them! Wba,
will be the end Of this course Of rcasoninp1
1t is very plain. Contending not for princi-
pie, but against men, VIC may he made 10
give up euery Thing. by the easy and certain
process Of having an enemy to come over

Mr.. Editor.

In your paper of the 25th u,t. see from
the communication of Mr.. IIollingswor,b.
that it was expected the Candidates would
declare their sentiments, not only as to
National Bank. but as To the Independent,
Treasury, and all entire separation Of
the Government furds from all Banks what
ever. Now have only to say, that am
opposed 10 a connexion of the Government
with the Banks. either State or Federal. and
am decidedly in favor Of the Independent
Treasury. AS evidence Of my sentiments,
refer TO the resolutions Of the las, regular
Session of our Legislature on these subjects
and in substance :e-adopted at the extra
Session by very large majority, for which
resolutions voted most cordially.

NOTICE TO TRAVELLERS GOING NORTH.
THIS splendid line of four horse Post
