Mr.. Van Buren, has addressed Sub-Trea.
sury electioneerng letter to the people of
York, (Pa) on his passage through that place.
He states that his trust" is, that 1.-THE time
is not far distant when the Sub Treasury will
receive the assent of all disinteresied per-
sons" We think his trust rests upon sandy
foundation. We should think that "recent
events" had shown that there is in reality no
grounds whatever for any such trust.
The country will please to make two in
ferences ....
!. That Mr. Van Buren, is travelling upon
an electoneering tour for himself.
= That the Sub-Treasury is his election
eering hobby, and that it is still to be persist
ed in, as !" sink or swim" measure

Washington city quiet and still as If it had
never been the scene of strife and angry contention.
The conflict has passed away and the elements have
sunk repose The gadators aud spectators alike are
gone the is STILL nor fingers echo OF the

Il is stated by the Alerandria Gazette,
that MIR. Hector Craig, who has been remov-
ed to give place to Ely Moore, is appointed
TO an office Of higher honor and emolument.
We do not believe it. Mr.. Craig now
that he has been removed by the Loco.locos,
is the man to be pursued by them. We have
not heard that they ever forgave man they
had injured, They first insult man, and
then denounce him. They never reward a
man they can get rid Of, especially not, after
having commenced an assault upon him. Is
not the Gazette mistaken!

THE LATE ELECTIONS IN VIRGINIA.

We call the attention of our readers to the
article on this subject we have copied from
the National Magazine 8. Republican Rerie,r.
1t takes fair survey Of the beginning, the
progress, and the end of the contest just
closed in Virginia.
While on this subject, we may remark, that
we have not been an inaltentive observer OF
the Developments about the delegate from
Grayson and the claims that have been
made by the loco-focos to several delegates
elect, who entered on the canvass as Conser-
vatves. One very important consideration,
in counting noses, is always kept out Of sight
by the ingenious, but not ingenious, editor of
the Richmond Enquirer. We refer to the
Sub-treasury. Conservatism, so called, gre'c
out of that subject; and it was only for the
opposition made by various Republicans to the
Sub-treasury, that they have been denounced
as " Conservatives" 1t seems to be admitted
that the delegates claimed as "Conserva-
tives," on one side, and as administration men
on the other, are almost, if not entirely, with
out exception, opposed to the favorite and
cardinal measure upon which the administra-
ton has staked its fortunes. They are there
fore " Conservatives" according to the appl-
cation and use Of that word by the Globe and
its echoes. Dare the Richmond Enquirer,
undertake to assert that the SuL-ireasury is
approved by a majority Of the people of Vir-
gn'a, however much it may claim for Mr..
Van Buren,! We presume it dare not.
1t is our conviction, that after giving the
loco-focos all they can claim with any grace
at all, there will still be majority Of at least
fifteen on joint ballot
The Portsmouth Republican after having
gone very infinitely through an examination
and comparison Of all the returns comes to this
further conclusion, which, considering that
Mr.. Van Buren, carried the State in 1886 by
majority Of $500, is Of much more import
ance than the temporary relations Of legisla-
tive forces 10 certain men. Tint paper says:
We have looked carefully into this business,
and are not mistaken in an important particular.
After full and fair lnvesig ton, we believe that
me opp sition have majority exceeding 1900 in
Virginia
II the loco-foco party call this victory, we
heartily wish they may have such an one in
every State Of the Union.

The Enquirer, with view Of exssPerating what II
calls the .Impractcshlc Wings" against Mr. Clay
swears Justify that MIR Clay took an active part 10 favor
Of the reelection Of Mr. Rives The repeated denial

He persists IN his assertions because he has an end 10

EXECUTIVE PATRONAGE.

Extracts of the report Of the Senate Com
mittee against Executive patronage, Of which
Mr.. Pan Buren, was a member, and COL Ben
ton, Chairman. The Chairman and the mem
Der are fulfilling their own prophecies to the
very letter:
"The power Of patronage, unless checked BY the
vigorous interposon Of Congress- must go on increas-
ing, until Federal influence in many parts OF this Con-
federation will predominant in elections completely
as British influence predoninates in the elections of
Scotland and Ireland in rotten borough towns and in
the great naval stations Of Portsmouth and Plymouth"

The Potomac Advocate (Georgetown) says
We understand that two young men, supposed to
be Virginians, arrived at Washington few days
since for the purpose Of settling an affair of honor
by an exchange ofshots. But the civil authorities
having got wind of the affair followed close on their
track and arrived on the ground in time to prevent
the accomplishment Of their design"

-. hear it suggested that, possibly, the
principal object in removing Col Campbell,
"a rsterence to the cherished plan OF the
Executive, by which he is to gain complete
nossession Of the public money. While an
honest and incorrup,ible Treasurer like Col.
Campbell, held the keys Of the Treasury,
there was an obstruction to tina. open access
"a and entire control Of the peoples money,
which the Executive has expressed his de-
termination if possible to obtain. II Col.
Campbell had been mercenary hireling, a
mere key-holdef for the Executive and his
punderiug horde, a tool, an instrument,
man Of straw, he would probably have been
the last man to be removed. Blu, Col. Camp
hell too well knew his duty to his country,
and dared to perform il. He was, therefore,
an obstruction to the plundering system,
warning and caution against corruption,
whose abatement was necessary, in order to
,sr(ect the desired Union Of the purse and
the sword.
