we have repeatedly asserted that the van
Buren leaders aud advocates Of the Federal
Sub Treasury are grosslg ineincere in their
declarations Of their own principles tha. U
dscetpe the people, they utter sentiments
which they do not and caaaot entertain. We
win now prone this position positiuegy. And
We defy afgumen OphistrY; We defy the
ingenuity d mani al to meet our testimony
Of jossle, III the slightest degree single
pillar Of our argument.
Ifthere be political axiom, acknowledged
and known to American politicians, Il Is.
that the. press aad the leading politicians Of
tho Van Bnren party, are ..opposed to ali
banks and banking, 70 use their own, thou
sand times repeated, words,-that they are
sfandamently opposed to sspaper money ],

torsand candidatess a hearty sauen's echos
from thousand voices at once. Yes in
deed, sirss--that il our cardinal principle, =
is responded BY thousand more. Well. So
far we are correct then.
And we proceed:-For one or two years
past, somewhat injurious political article,
purporting to embody in succinct and
comprehensive form, the ..cordiusI priaci-
ptes' Of the. party, in relation to the Sub
Treasury, has been going the rounds of their
newspapers with this imposing caption:--s
"THE ISSUE-LN a NUTSHELL.
Freemeal Read! Pause and Reaect.''
The article, We believe, commenced in
Tennessee, and has been copied, if we mis-
take not, into every Van Buren paper in
the State, and very generally all over the
Union. We commented on it last year, and
have since seen it in almost every Sub-Trea.
isury payer we open. The paper contain.
ling it which we now have before us, and
to which weshall introduce our scissors in
a momentor two, is the yNississippian Of the
50th ult. We suppose then, that the article
lis CARDINAL" in its ''PRINo1PLEs," and
speaks forth, with peculiar distinctness and
emphasis, the voice ofthe party, as the voic,
of one mar.
II commences by saying that, /" The Demo
crats aOant a National Treasury to keep th,
people money in,''-for 90 separately stated
and numbered reasons. (Which are pre-
tended to be contrasted with the disadvan
tages Of National Bank We now cop
such Of those reasons why s'the democrats
want National Treasury to keep the PEG
pies money in, as are useful for our pre-
!. sent purpose. Il is to be kept
SO. Why the money of the government
Iseperated from the busineas of the banks
can be used when required, without the or

II. So that there may be no complain
