Nr. E1itor:-I find among the resolutions a
dopted a, the recent Democratic Convention o
this county, the following:
aResolred. That the recent defalcations Of Ger
tain pubic officers in New York and elsewhere
afford sufficient proof of the ineficiency OF the
bank deposit system and offers renewed ev-
idence In favor of an Independent Treasury law
y eli Guarded and restricted with such penalties
as w Ill secure faithful discharge OF all oihcers
entrusted with the public funds ;"
The impudence and bsrefacedness OF the first
par, of this resolution is really asionlshing-charg
ing the banks for Swartwou,'s plundering the
Treasury. A collector of the revenue having ac-
fcuInulated in his hands than a million OF
public money, forthwith flies to Eng land, and the
LocoFocos in solemn conclave assembled, declare
!, "a be the banks. and the brawng Demagogue
of the Jeflersunian says IT proves the iallaey OF
the bank dcposite system; his accute and pen
etratng intellect has been great while IN ar
riyinp at the conclusion that the pet Bank de
poslte system was founded in error; the wings

the wings from one end of the Government to

Old Lion of the Hermitage will rise and shake

people are of course the supporters OF this and
every other republican form of government; bn'
the tcmapopue has two meanings when he
saws the people arc honest, he means, the rich,
and tho int neIigent and educated are not. Does
nc. ,"hoIe history of the past provo that the
intelligent and educated are those who have ever
advanced the best iaterest of men? Who have
planned revolutions and who have directed re-
formations? The ignorant? No-hut those
while cultiva.ing their minds-they are the men
from whose counsels have emannted wisdom, ana
from whose labors have proceeded the saving IN
fluenccs OF society. And who accomplished the
American revolution? Was it the unenl'ghten-
