Which have been the most faithful de.
'lpositors, the collectors or the banks !
Let-a few facts answer. Since 1889,
the immense sum Of($l0,053, 600, ,00Q)
ten thousand aud finy-three millions
have. gone Through the hands and cons
tro! ofthe public collectors andIand re-
ceivers.-Dunng the foriy-nine years
embraeed1n this calculation, lbe whole
loss by these Individual collectors and
receivers, is computed atabout 81, ,O00,-
600, or nine.tenth Of one per cent.
From 1917 to 1884, The amount Of the
public revenue deposited in the banks
was about $3.50, 900, 900, or a httle
more than one third of the whole arsount
which had gone through thehands Of
the collectors and receivers. Upon this
the loss in seven years has been ST.
254, ,424, or three-eights Of one. per cent
showing that the money has been safer
in the bands of, responsible collectors
than irresponsible banks, even under
the old treasury organization, which was
net guarded SO carefully as the Inde..
pendent Treasury would have been.--

FEDERAL}SM.-The melancholy
fact that suoh Federal scoundrels as
Swartwout and Price, have succeeded
in filrhing a large amount of govern
ment funds seems 10 be a matter oftri-
umph'lo their friends, because they
think it will make the administration of
Martin Van Buren, unpopular. We
could help these croakers along in their
desire ifthey would only listen 10 our
advice. They ought TO mako out a
statistical table Of all the crimes which
have been committed in the U. States
since the days Of Thomas Jefferson,
giving complete account of all larcen.
cies, the number Of horses stolen, the
names Of the thieves, with a classi6ca-
ton Gom Swartwout down TO the hen-
roost robber, all the riots, all The frauds
and finally all the dishones, men 10 the
counlry,snd charge the whole to Martin
Van Buren,! He is president, end
should he not make all men honest?
Why does he not pu, stop to the
breaking ef,he bauks9 Stealing mon
ey, and rObbing of-orchards, water mel
Ion patches, &c. &c.f All, he won't do
it, and he is not fit for President? We
must have IN Henry Clay, VIM. H Har-
rison or some other good 'Wbig' and
then you'll see the honesty! They
won't have this rascality about them--
they woHdrnever suffer htin their SUBJ
jects Not they. 4'his is the'mean-
ing of the Federal slang about defa ul-
ters. lfyou believe, (riends, .ha,'Heu.
ry Clay or WIN. ii. Hotrison has the
power to make all men honest, you
should undoubtedly vote for them; if not
then Martin Van Buren Cat do as much
as e,her--and that is 10 rec omend to
Congress the passage Of the most Sc.
vero laws against all who dare to lnAe
with the public moneys, and this he has
done.-Sandusky Democrat.
A PROPHECY. After the next.
Presidential election, in which the fed
eral party will be routed and used up:
they will appear 10 a new shape, call.
themselves Loco Focos, and swear
they we're the founder, OF the Ipdepen-
dent Treasury. (N H. Register.
4 We-do not doubt;t. We look con-
fiidently forwardto the not distant day,
when the whig party, having worn out
its present. and every other, hallowed
name, shall have assumed the name of
saint, and will repelthe charge of ever
having opposed the Independent Treas-
ury, with as much honest ihd,gna,ion,
as some ofitsmembers no,O deny ever
having opposed the country during the
last war. When Mr. Van Buren, was
nominated, we knew an old blue skIu
who had opposed every democratic ad-
ministtatioD, from Jefisrso 10 jackson,
who declaredhe had aiOays been a dem
ocrar and Jackson man, but "coud'nI
60 Van Buren, he was such civ, cum
j MIN, iuEiguin' kuss." 20. S. Bulletin
