any PHI lcal law Of nature, that If there be
two cuFrenciss IN any country, that which IS
CHE pest and leasl valuable will soon ex-

valuable. So far IS am informed MT. Cali
houn and Mr.. Benton are the only promi-
nent statesmen 10 the public councils who

Of The Government, the latter IS fol i ID all
the transactions Of the community.
The great body Of the Adminis ration
i party stop fan short Of them boih and hence
il was that they castrated The Sub Treasury
Hill Of Aln Calhoun's hard money clause
The party opposed to the Administration
seems destined to Be ioreyeG weakened 81
diVisions among themselves, That proceed
from their giving infinitely greater impol-
lance 70 the few questions On which they
differ, than to those % which they agree.
The Ministerial Party have never any insuf-
inountable disagr ennenis they unite III
the same general purp bose, and disregard all
other objects, or difference Of opinion; and
that geneFal purpose Is the security of poli-
tIcal power IN their own hands, and with II
the honors and emoluments Of office. OF
this the Sub Treasury system has afforded i
singular exemplific cation. When nention-
ed that system in my speechat Petersburg,
h was reprobated 81 the whole ministerial
party and particularly, by their chef organ
the Globe, as system which would give an
Uncomfortable monarchial influence to The
Executive, and upon The principle they as
sumed, and still assume, and which seems
now hardly 10 be contested but which i
then denied and Sill strenously deny. They
were right the principle, namely that the
President has q Constitutional right, impre-
scriptible bY law, to the custody of the pub
lie money. But now, the Ministerial party
still holding the same principle as to The IN
heTent constitutional power Of the Execu
tive, and designing "a act on that principle,
are strenuously unfolding the President in
his sub Treasury scheme and even those
who are opposed % that particular scheme,
witness Mr.. Richie and that whole eliquel
are still the friends Of the administration
and the denoted partizans of the President
On the other hand Mr.. Calhoun, if rightly
understand him, maintains III effect, that
the sub Treasury IS the question the great
question the only question Of any moment
1.-The question that absorbs an others, and
that By which every mans claims to public
confidence ought % be tested and if he
does not land believe he does not profess
to give bis positive support to the Admins
tration, and his positive appreciation and co.
operation to the he election Of Mr.. Van BIZ.

and maintaining Jealous positive oppose

Mr. Van Buren, on this single question, he
abandons the party of the opposition on ev-

succession. And the public journals friend
