Mr. Van Buren's advocate.
r. M Whitney, late agent of the Treas
ury, has been making some marvellous dis.
closures through the columns of the Madi-
sonian. He has given new and dark chap
ter in the history Of the corruptions of the
administration. He asserts, as Il matter
within his own knowledge, that certain
banks, well known TO be insolvent have
been selected MS repositories OF the public
money for no other purpose than to subserve
political designs, Now, II Whitney is not a
liar and villain, his declarations upon this
. subject are OF course true, and the admins.
tration can be regarded only as great
swindling agency established at Washing
ton for the plumber Of the country. And, if
Whitney is liar and villain, what are we
to think of an administration that persisted
for years in entruslne 10 his hands the
whole management of the currency of the
nation. although his Infamous character was
daily proclaimed by ten thousand voices.
