REPUBLICANIsM OF THE sUB-TREA-
SURYISTS.

The following extracts give pretty fair
exhibit Of the Republicanism Of the Sub-trea-
suryists. Speaking Of the plan Of special
deposites Mr. Van Buren,, in his annual mes
sage said /" thus arranged, although it would
not give to the Government that entire con-
troll ouer its omn funds phich / desire to secure
TO it, &c, &c.
Mr.. Gouge, in his article in the June num-
Der of the Democratic Review, entitled :" the
Political Crisis" says, 1.-THE language OF the
Administration is this" directed to the banks:
Let Us part. seek not to injure you--let
me alone. leave you yourselves. There
never can hereafter possibly be peace or har-
mony for either Of us in renewal Of this
union. The democratic party has staked il
self on the great principle Of the divorce )
and, whether Immediately victorious or de-
feated, will never abandon it. WILL BE
INDEPENDENT. will not again expose
myself to the fluctuations, uncertainties, and
hazards Of this connection. None but the
unsound and insolvent among you can have
any fair reason to object to my determination
to be INDEPENDENT, and to maintain a secure,
uniform, and constitutional fiscal system, in
the discharge Of my limited federal duties ;
BY KEEPING AND Discussing MY
OWN REVENUE"
The federal Republican address, signed by
REuEL WILLIAMS, GARRETT D. WALL, w.
w. POTTER, all old federalists, and some
others, says: 1.-THE Government only desires
to manage its own business in its own way"
Where are we 7 Are we in Republic, and
are we under Republican Government, that
we talk of the Government funds y the
President being independent; excepting
and disbursing his own revenue; !" the Go
vernment managing its own business in its
own way :" This is the language of despots.
The Dey of Algiers was independent; he
had entire control over his own funds he
managed his own business in his own way !;
he kept and discussed his own revenue; he
had the Sub.treasury and hard money system
in full operation, when he was overpowered
and dethroned by the French. They found
some millions Of gold in his Sub-treasury.
The language we have quoted, is that Of

THE DEFAULTER SCoURGED.

G. d. Boyd. Of WoodviIle, Mississippi, one of Mr..
Van Buren's Sub-Treasury deinquents whom
ced last week. attempted TO his defacation by
stating that he loaned $4,000 Of the missing money
to the wings Of Lowndes county for the purpose Of
lieving the trustees Of the Miss Female College from
heavy debt, which threatened to compel the sacrifice Of
the institution This last prop Of UBIQUITOUS gain--ths
refuge OF web arranged and plausible fasehood, Is
totally destroyed by the following from the Trustees of
the College, published in the last Columbus Southern
Argus.
CARD
The Trustees Of the Mississippi Female College
have publication purporting to be extract
synopsis Of discourse delivered by Colonel Boyd at
Woodvnle in this State.
It states, in substance, that COL Boyd had loaned
certain Wings Of Lowndes county the sum Of ten
thousand dollars to prevent the sacrifice Of certain
building erected by them for the purpose Of Female
| Academy.
| That COL Boyd was defaulter to the General Go
yernment knew, and that he should feel great impa-
ience to extcnua.e his defacation is what conld
readily suppose, But could not have believed that
any motive could have tempted Col Boyd to adopt any
fraudulent means, descend any disngenuous arti
/ hce to vindicate his reputation.
i A becoming respect for ourselves, men, and
Tenn sense Of duty Trustees and Guardians Of the
College, require US to say that the statement Of Colonel
Boyd utterly untrue and that at no time nor under
any circumstances, has Col Boyd loaned one dollar
for The purpose alleged for any other purpose what
i ever tn
1t would certainly greatly alleviate the weight Of pub
lie il the Colonel could show that his default TO
the amount Of ten thousand dollars could be placed to
4 the credit Of his generous and benevolent feelings in
the cause of Female Education. This is the only apo
logy mpoent is, which his best friends can make
4 for his dsingenuous conduct
1t may be, however, tina. the Colonel thought the dis
course he delivered would pass I" sub siiencio," or
would travel beyond the little village Of its nativity;
and SUCH neither the feelings reputation Of others
would be affected We hope, however, that the Colo
given to his address, again venture upon the
publication Of Islander under the delusive hope that it
may never reach The parties affected

Mr.. CALHOUN AND SPECIAL DEPOSITEs.
We respectfully request the particular at

Richmond Enquirer, to the letter Of his new
ally, Mr.. Calhoun, Of the 24th July, declining
the invitation to partake Of the barbecue dinner
at Columbia
In that letter, Mr.. c. says, all other mea-

another National Bank') the pet bank system,

We shall be glad to see the Enquirer de-
fend its darling scheme from this imputation
cast upon it by the great Nuliier.
We stand ready at all times to defend our
measure Of State banks from the charge, and
to prove to the satisfaction Of any one not
wilfully blind, that it must be adopted or a
National Bank is inevitable.

THE NAVY.
A Baltimore paper enquiries whether


Can it be that the Naval Officers of all grades
that the whole Naval service, is to be placed under
the ban of the Van Buren, Administration? Such
conclusion Is quite reasonable and natural, after
reading the abusive article in the official journal Of
the Government. But what is the cause OF Mr.. Van
Buren, thus Withdrawing the light Of his counte
nance from our Navy lit Is. that the name of one
Of its gallant sons has been mentioned by the Con-
servaiives OF neighboring State, in connection
with the next Presidency It is not impossible that
some of the toasts and other proceedings the De-
mocratic Young Mems Convention, at Harrisburg
on the All uli. may have had some agency in calling
out this wholesale denunciaon Of the Navy, in the
official journal.
If any such feelings those above referred to- in
stigated the foul attack the Navy and its officers
in place of operating to mar any future proceedings
connecting the name Of one Of the gallant sons Of
the Navy with the next Presidency-we think the
assault will have contrary effect, and both encour
age and promote them on far more extended and
efficient scale.

THE SPITE OF THE GLOBE AGAINST
THE CONSERVATIVES.
The Globe Of FRIDAY last saws :

1.-THE first union of the pseudo Wings and Con-
servatives was their going into bank together as
drawers and endorsers, and coming out with hun
dreds OF thousands Of dollars to be laid out by their
partnership companies and agents in land specula-
lions! Yes the Conservatives and their new Fede-
raj allies dipped largely together in bank loans and
land speculations and then took their seats in Con-
gress 10 legislate on the currency and the lands
both sides OF the coalition most ardently embracing
that policy in Congress which was calculated to
cheaper the currency in which they were bound to
pay their debts to the banks; and 10 enhance the
price Of the lands which were their means"
Why does not the Globe give the names
We know Of but single instance where a
Conservative member of Congress went into
bank with Wing to raise money to invest in
lands, and in that one, there happened to be a
third partner, who was the Hon. Henry
HUBBARD, Of the Senate. If that, however,
be sin. there happens TO be many others who
are guilty. Did not the Vice President Dor
row money out Of the banks to invest in lands?
The Secretary Of State too--and the Post
master General also? How long since is it
that the editor Of the Globe himself, borrowed
money Of bank on artificial or made paper!
Does the editor of the Globe know, that the
great enemy Of all banks, (Col. Benton,) has
his bank accommodations If he does not,
we can tell him such is fact. Even since
the adjournment Of Congress, we hear he has
ayailed himself Of bank facilities!
SO it appears. that some others borrow mo-
ney from the banks and speculate, besides the
Conservatives. We could name many others.
hold;n1 nfficial stations who are large bank
debtors, and whose song from morn till night
is, down with the banks = some Of whom
are probably among the worst enemies the
banks have, viz those who never pay, in any
currency at all, or under compromise Of one
cent on dollar.

NoRTH cARoLINA ELECTIONS.

The latest accounts from North Carolina,
we find in the Baltimore Chronicle Of yester-
day, which SAYS:
The returns continue TO wear favorable aspect
We have now accounts from hGy-fve counties, and
the Wing gain is Sufficient TO secure majority in
both branches Of the Legislature, If the remaining
counties vote as they did in 1886. We shall GER
lainly have very decided majority In the Senate
That body consists OF fifty members The Wings
already have 81, and will certainly get more. The
vote in the House Of Commons will, most probably,
be close"
