A very worthy subscriber on the borders of the Upper
Rappahannock, who is q slaunch Democrat, a warm
friend of the Administration, and withal a Sub Treasu.
~ man, aad sliil more, q warm friend to the union Of
the Republican party, has forwarded as his subscription,
with the following pleasant remarke: His vein of hu-
NOR is so reasonable, md the gnod.humored spirit in
which he expresses himself is so fine, tina, we cannot
deny ourselves the pleasure Of making q few extracts
from his liberal letter. We have the comfort to Of in.
forming him, that although his note does belong a little
10 the ragged rcglmcat, yet it is sufficiently available.
Would that many other of our Sub-Treasury friends
would address such letters, and such enclosures!
DEcEHsEe 25th--"I avail myself Of this opportunity
Of sending on the amount Of my subscription for your
paper for the year commencing in Oct. Inst by - of
the Senate. The note (encLosed) is very much torn and
injured by rough usage-And l was fearful at one time,
that it was SO much damaged, that it would not pass
However, 1 had il examined by Wings, Conservatives,
and Sub. Treasury men, and all agreed that it would pass
as YET. In taking q good look al it. myself, thought it
a good emblem of our party at the present time. The
injury about the margin Of this note, for there is no part
but what has received some injury, may be compared 10
the assault of the Wings upon the Democratic Party for
they, the Wigs, attack them on every side. The Demo
Gratis, being bad sentinels, have suffered inroads to be
made on every side, 10 the great injury oftheir party. The
deep rents whioh yoa will see on The margin of this
not, assinilate to the division in the ranks of the DE.
.nocrats, which division, if not stopped in time, will,
like the old note, be SO torn to pieces and damaged, that
it cannot pass as heretofore. now, sir, commit this
Ssomething 10 xnite its parts, and thereby add to its
strength and stability: This is what the old note stands
in need Of, and this is what the Democratic party also
wants. AS to the question, whcrc the ~dePosites shall be
made Of the u. S. REVENGE, | may say, if the Sub
Treasury System be adopted, | prefer it to a United
States Bank, or any other mode yet named. If The State
Banks, either for a place of special d~eposite or other
wise, | also prefer that, and indeed almost any other
safe mode. To a United States Bank | am utterly OPP
posed. On these subjects, we must pay due respect
to each others opinions, and not split. The Wings are
running for a U. S. Bank, and go only with our party
TO divide, and thereby conquer US. The question pre-
sents itself, who has caused this split in our party. Ma.

are not a few who condemn the Editor Of the En-.
