Of knowledge by his eloquent abuse Of the "lying"

a notoriety unusually extensive. His name, like

THE NEW YORK DEFALCATIoN.

The mean and pitiful attempt TO throw the re-
sponsibily of Mr.. Swartwout's default, on the
shoulders OF the Conservatives is TO be resored to by
the leaders of the Locofoco-Sub-T reasury-Van Bu-
rem party in the House Both Messrs. Cambreleng
and Thomas have taken that ground declaring that
Mr. Swartwout Conservative, and the latter
gentleman produced the proceedings OF the great
Conservative meeting in New York last spring, to
show that MIR. S. acted as one OF the Vice Presidents
We admit he was a Conservative. And what OF
that? Who appointed him second time to the Of
fee Andrew Jackson MIR. Cambreleng, IN adj
dition to declaring that he was Conservative,
stated that Mr.. Van Buren, was always opposed to
the appointment, from the FIRST and and ncrer had
am confidence in him. idnot Mr.. Van Buren, con-
tinue him in Office than year after he entered
on the duties Of Chief Magistrate Most certainly
he did: and that is not all, the Secretary OF the
Treasury under directions Of the President, made
him the organ of communication to the Merchants
of New York, in May 1887 and in June of that
wear, he made Mr. Swartwout the Sub Treasurer OF
keeper of all the public money paid or collected in
the city of New York, notwithstanding he had al
ways been looked upon by the President as unworthy
of confidence. Probably the greater portion of the
money for which Mr.. s. is a defaulter, was alb.
sracted before Conservatism ever thought of in
this country. Yet we are now TO be told Mr.. Swat
won't was Conservative Impotent shin escape
responsibility. Mr.. Swartwout was appointed by
President Jackson, continued in Office by Presi-
dent Van Buren,, although removable at his viii,
and the people cared not whether he was Conserva-
tive, Wing, Loco-foco, Armenian, Jew or Turk:
and they wish to know whether there has been ne
glect in any department Of the Government, where
by such vast sum Of their money has been made
way WITH thus adding TO their burthens by additional
taxation.

We republish the following from the Madi-
sonian Of the Gath April, 1888, for the pur-
pose Of bringing before the public the facts in
relation TO the Opposite System and Deposite
Banks, which continue to be officially wilfully
misrepresented; and also to show that as long
since as that date, we made an exposition OF
the delalcations Of various public Receivers;
and among them, those of WILLIAM LINN,
which we notice has just been put forth in
new form, and is going the rounds Of certain
papers as new discovery. We notice an i'm
portant error in the account we allude 10,
which states that the Receiver is brother to
Senator Linn. We understand that is not
the fact, but that he is a distant relative.
We presume that by this time, nearly the
entire balance that was due from the banks, as
stated in the article below, has been liqui-
dated.

sUB-TREAsURY SCHEME.

present parallel and a contrast. We invoke the
candid and patient attention Of all readers, assuring
them that, althoughwe may lead them considerable
length, We shah deal only with facts and experience,
not theory nor speculation. We shall institute
comparison of these two sorts of financial agencies

and safety Of the public funds.

We do not know what course the honorable Sena-
tors may take when the several questions embraced
in the resolutions come before them, but we presume
that as I" in such cases made and provided" those
who have been the loudest in protesting the doctrine
of instructions as cardinal feature of "democra-

ANY attempt to evade the instructions by the petit
foggers bubble, that the word obstruction" is not
used, will not in our humble opinion be justified by
any man OF honest understanding.
The first time that we remember this measure Of
instructions to have been resored to in this country
was by the inhabitants of Plymouth colony, Mass.
before the revolution, when " a crisis had arrived"
that atried mems souls" We think it not unproft
able to quote their example for the benefit of some
of their degenerate and fastidious descendants
When the General Assembly of Massachusetts met
in l764 most of the members received instructions
from their constituents to oppose the distribution of
the stamped papers, the execution of that act in any
form, and every other parliamentary infringement
on the rights of the people of the colonies. What

address to their representatives expressing to them
