CONSISTENCY WITHOUT PARALLEL.

We doubt il the records of history furnish
an instance of inconsistency to be compared
with that exhibited by the administration party
OF 1888, and some of those who constituted
the administration party of 1884. We refer
to the columns of the official organ for the
illustration.
The Globe in 1884, while commenting on
the doctrines contained in the message of the
Governor Of Virginia, made the following
declaration
"Governor Floyd's message affords additional
proof of the entire concert between the Bank Of the
United States and the Nuifers. II they (the Null
lifers) can drive the deposes out of the State
Banks, they will create necessity for rechartering
the Bank Of the United States, which does not now
exist"
:" They will drive the Government out of the
State Banks, and thus force it to resort TO the re-
establishment of the Bank of the United States, to
obtain depository for IT'S revenues. As we have
said before, the bank party and nullihers are one
We see them moving together, in Congress and out.
Extremes have met Consolidation and anarchy 60
hand finland, Corruption and Rerolut,on have
united their Strength
So much for the language of the Globe, in
relation to the Bank of the United States
,
ton and Anarchy-and the union of Corrup-
ton and Revolution.
And what do we witness now? WHY, a
portion of the administration party Of 1894,
which agreed with the Globe to the very let
ter, in the denunciations contained in the
above extracts, now, through their subser-
viency to party discipline, and serviIity to
Executive power, rendering themselves OBJ
noxious to every one Of these charges.
Do we not now see an "entire concert "be-
tween them and the great leader of the Multi
iers of that day, and his followers of the pre-.
sent? DO we not see them exerting their entire
strength to drive the Government away from
State Banks If they succeed, will not the
same necessity exist for rechartering United
States Bank that did then! If by employing
State Banks now as then, will that necessity
IA Bank United States) exist any more now
than it did then?
When it was said if the Government should
be driven out Of State Banks it would "be
forced to resort to the re-establishment of the
Bank Of the United States, to obtain depo-
STORY for its revenues" was not the very Sub
Treasury scheme then presented as substi-
tu,e for both, by Nuliier, and rejected by
the Administration partyl Do we not see the
Nullifers and the Van Buren, Administration
party moving together now, in Congress and
out, supporting that same repudiated Sub
Treasury scheme upon the recommendatic, n
of the Executive! Do we not see sor.e of
the same individuals who took the Position that
we must have either State Banks or Ma
rional Bank rs repositories of the public re-
venues, joining with the Nullifers now, in
their position, that it must be either the Sub
Treasury or National Bank
Verify, this is consistency like jewel!
Not satisfied with thus degrading and disgra-
cling themselves by their abandonment of prin-
ciple, AID turning their backs upon themselves
and their friends in the course they have cho-
sen to pursue, they turn round and denounce
as traitors and enemies to their country" all
who have too much honesty and frmness to
do likewise
With greater propriety and force will the
language of the Globe apply to the incongru-
Gus materials that are now acting in concert
to support the leading measure of the Execu-
tive. "ExTREMEs HAVE MET. CONSOLE
DATION AND ANARCHY GO HAND IN
HAND. CORRUPTION AND REVOLU-
TION HAVE UNITED THEIR STRENGTH.
