Progrcss Of the sub. areas1ry SYSTEM.
The recent developements and discoveries in de-
facations in the New York Custom House, at Wash
ington and other high places, are net without their
due effect upon the community; the system is maxi
ing great progress the country, and if it works
i'll for some it works well for others, as appears by
the following letter, which we received yesterday
by mail:

In reply to all this, we have only to say that we
know nothing of Mr.. r. Jones, and never heard of
him before We have agents, no sub btreasurers i'll
any part of the cSuntry-we never had any, and we
never intend to have any. AS soon we saw the
workings of the subtreasury system, aud the move
ments of the Kitchen Cabinet, abandoned the sys-
tenn Of credit and agencies, and sub treasures in
any and every shape and re-organized our esta.
blishment upon the sound, healthy, solid, simple,
real cash sy stem which foundation it still stands
and will continue to stand until the resurrection
morning-God willing!
N. B.-No paper is ever sent from this Office an
less the price Of sir toefve months has been paid
in Advance.
LIBERTY OF THE PREss IN BUFFALo.-Nichols,
the editor the Buffalonian' has been found guilty
Of a libel, in publishing that person the
tool of another. The LIBEL it is called, was pub
lished during Nichols absence from Buffalo, when
he had no personal control over his paper. On this
libel he has been tried, found guilty, imprisoned
four months, and fined $50. He is in Jail, and
his jailor is authorised by the authorities of Buffalo,
to prevent him from writing for his paper.
This case Of Nichols presents most curious affair
perfectly unique in the history of the press in this
country. We do not know that any despotic gov
emment in Europe ever showed such tact, un,eru-
pulousness and audacity, in shackling the press
the legal authorities of Buffalo have exhibited. With
jures Judges and public eficers under the influence
of clique of prosecutors the liberty of the press
can be as efFectually destroyed in Buffalo nPe-
tersburg Pottsdam. Not long ago pair of Swiss
minstrels were imprisoned in Buffalo for singing
Of their mountain airs and should not be surprised
to hear of capt into Jail for the cut Of his
coat, or size his hat.
On the subject of Nichols fine, we have only a
word to say. Let us here understand the real char
acter of this transaction; and if, disposed
to think, he has been prosecuted by clique OF bad
men whose deeds would not hear the light, we will
open subscription, and raise the money to pay his
| fine, and shall put down own name, at the head
ofthe list for $40 to begin with.
| THE Sons OF ST.. GEoRGE.-These patriotic gen.
tlemen hailing from Philadelphia, have partly aban-
doned the trade of selling corduroys, ana begun a
spirited competition with DIR. Sally, in the exhibi-
ton Of portraits of the Queen Of England. 1t seems
that their motive for giving $1,000 to Suy to 90
to England and take portrait Of the lovely Queen
was asort Of commercial speculation, similar to
those which they engage in, in Birmingham ware oI
Manchester goods. After receiving their portrait
from Mr.. sully, they endcavored to monopolize tho
beauteous Queen, and prevent a poor painter from
exercising his talents in another, exhibiting
himself, in order that they might possess the marke
unoccupied. What will the generous Queen Of
England say when she hears Of the mean, pcddline
conduct of her loyal Sons Of ST. George in Philadel
phial Such set Of scurvy fellows ought to be ex-
hibted themselves at a shilling a sight. They have
now sent the painting to Boston, to pick up few
shillings, for fear Mr.. Suy should send his picture
/ there.
On the whole, to up this business between Mr..
Sully and the Sons Of st. George, according to the
| principles of Daboll's Arithmetic, we have known
nothing for past that's so mean,se contemptble
so grasping SO sncaking the conduct Of these self
same Sons" towards Mr.Sully lly-and if"S St.George"
were asked are these your sonsl" he would reply
! at once, /" these mean feowsl-Im damned IL they
| are-they Scotch pedlarsp'
o;- The clique Of rotten spectators and bankrupt
politicians who blow feeble existence into the empty
"JThig," insinuates that the Herald is whig pa
per. Why don't these rogues out with the truthl
The Herald is not, was, and never aill be a
whig paper. We despse the wings as miserable
faction as heartily despise the locofocos.
These collar Of both sides the verest scoun-
drcs, hypocrites, knaves. ;hat ever disgraced any
country-they would corrupt the States Prison.
The Herald is neither whig nor ocofoco-ii tells the
TRUTH the whole truth of both factions, and leaves
the great body Of the people to take their course
on all political questions. And the best evidence
that this independent is popular may be seen
in the increasing patronage-the growing subscrip'
tions-the accumulating advertisements crowding
upon US. The period is past when a few scoundrels
and vagabonds assuming the Of democ fcdc-
rasts or wings, can control or intimidate free
press, conducted and managed on the cash system,
and depending on its own intellect and industry for
its support. IT we believe that General Scott is
