his plan of government were not yet re-

truth would require willing oath OF al

DEAR SIN Il observed in a late number of TIE

commenting upon my letter, recently published in
the Madisonian in relation to that part of Governor
Marcy's message, which the Loco-focos consider
an approval of the Sub Treasury scheme. In my
letter, spoke of the surprise, with which that part
of the message was read by those friends Of Gov.
Marcy who were in the habit Of hearing his previ-
Gus opinions expressed in strong and decided terms
against It.
Now, how does the official organ at Albany meet
the charged He denies that the wrero of the letter is
a friend of Governor Marcy! Well, for the sake OF
the argument, will admit that am not a friend
of Governor Marcy, although have ARRAYS cast my
vote for him. when candidate for an elective office
Does such concession prove that his message is
consistent with his previously expressed hostility 70
the Sub-Treasury scheme!
But, if the Argus will have it that Gov. Marcy's
consistency in this respect be tested by the testi-
mony of friends only will take the liberty of ask
ing the Argus to name some Of the friends of Gov.
Marcy, to whom the Governor has, previously TO
the last election expressed opinions avoraby to the
Sub-Treasury scheme.
fthe Argus will name any, to whom the Cover
nor has said he approved the Sab Treasury scheme,
will prove that he was holding different language
and opinions to different persons at the same time.

"HUsS gan colnS Sldnucr ike mint.
We find the following base coin circulating in the
Globe Of the 2Gh, from the mint Of its correspondent
at New York and we hasten to nail 1t to the coun-
ter.
"The friends Of General HARRrsoS have had
large meeting, and declared that whether the Fede-
raj convention nominate the Western Statesman :
Ga new soubriquet given by Dudley Selden to The
Farmer of North Bend, , or whether they do not,
they will support him against all opposition. The
eleventh resolution passed at this meeting, is the
effort Of some sly heretcal wag to turn the whole
affair into ridicue at least so il appears in my eyes.
Il declares the conduct of the Conservatives is de-
serving OF the warmeSt praise;' and il bags them,
as an omen OF lofty resolve, TO hang together-for
the good of the whole countryl" To this, most
sincerely and cordially, do respond-Amcn y
The resolution which this literary !Stcpen Bur-
roughs has thus attempted to initiate by his base
forgery is as follows-any one, we think, will be
able todisingush the true coin from the counterfeit,
at glance.
H. Resolved, That the Conservatives, as party,
in freeing themselves from political dictaion and
executive CONTROL demonstrated by the recent cleo
tons deserve our warmest praise, and that we hail
their conduct as an omen of still loer resolve 10
act only for the good Of the whole country.
By the way, we should like to know where this
counterfei,er Obtained his neoogism of sonbrqaet 2
We venture to say, that it cannot be found in the
whole range Of universal philology unless by the
spell of forgery.

Democratic Republicans of New York, which

On the contrary, We perceive admissions of
ultraism, and indie atoms Of congraiulation
in view of the position of the administration
relative thereto, sufficient alone to justify the
statement made by the New York meeting,
and indeed TO confirm their suspicion that
"some consanguinity Of feeling was exhi-
bted from high official stations The reso-
