THE SUB TREASURY REVIVED.


''H (the Sub Treasury BitD qoW become lao IN
spite Of the lamentations here or eiSe1ohere."
The above uttered by c. G. Cambreeng in
the lower House of Congress. 1t might very nat
urally be supposed that any man with particle OF
democracy in his composition would give up a
scheme which the people, through Congress, had
thrice rejected; but it is not with that burlesque
upon OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Van Buren,. lie is
out again, announcing his determination to crowd
the Sub Treasury down the throats of the people,
against their oft repeated protestations. He is now
on an electioneerins tour in Now York, and as
sumes without disguise, partizan character. Well
he may-for should he be left to the voluntary hos
pitali:y Of the people, aside from party, in his pill
ErimaGe, he would pass unobserved. All there is
and throw him upon the good wishes Of his J..
rymen, and he would be unhonored among honora
bic men. The N Y. Express thus notices his ex-
humation of the Sub Treasury.
THE SUB.TREASURY ALIVE AGAIN.
Two articles worthy of earnest attention and
perusal by every man in the country, who has any
thing, or hopes to have any thing, in col
umns The first is n Letter from Thomas Benton,
written while on his Electioneering Tour in Mis-
sour, and the mex, is Speech OF Mr. Van Buren,
at Castle Garden, reported by himself unquestion-
ably, for the Evening Post. Bolh the Letter and
the Speech are in the same spirit. Both abide by
the Sub Treasury The only difference is, that Mr.
III Benton utters them in sincerity and fearless
I ness.
These expressions of opinion from tho President

position, his prospects with his party, omin-
Gus signs of the great struggle the Currency and
Commerce of this country are to go through before

design is to subject the yeomanry to their insatla

Modern deinocrats-Van Buren, democrats-are
the greatest aristocrats in the land. They are
worse despots, far their limited power extends

UJ7We notice statement in the North Star OF
July 13, to the effect that Henry Clay was named
a Wing candidate for the Presidency at the late
Woodstock Convention. This is error-or, at
least, the impression intended to be conveyed is
wrong He was alluded to of the candidates
that might probably come before the Convention, in
the same manner and in the same sentence by sew
eral speakers, with Gen. Harrison and Gen. Scott
and Mr. Webster The Convention had no nten
ton of nominating any man-not one member Of
it, we venture to say. The discussion was on the
expediency of delaying the appointment of two
delegates to the National Convention till next fall,
when it agreed that they should be appointed
by the Convention. No preference was expressed
in favor of Mr. Clay; and if we could judge rightly
of the prevailing sentiment, it was that the Wings
of Vermont stood ready to give Gen. Harrison 1000
majority over Mr. Van Buren,, they did at the
last Presidential election
We are aware that nothing the Wings could do
would so mortify and chagrin the Locos of VT. as
the nomination of either Scott Harrison either of
| whom would be cheerfully supported by the Wings
of the State. Appearances at present warrant the
belief that Harrison Scott will be the favorite of
the whole State Of New York, save perhaps por-
ton of the City, of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Penn.
Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, Rhode Island,
Massachusetts and Vermont.

q : Tie cork c0mpiGted.-We alluded last week
to the progress of Tyranny in New Hampshire, in
the removal of Gen. Low, in the face and eyes of
the Constitution, and in direct violation thereof
and TO the legislative in reference to several
Probate Officers. By the last Concord papers
learn that the Judge of Probate for STAFFORD, d. c.
Atkinson the Register for Merrimack and Grafton,
have suffered decapitation by the axe of political
despotism. They were all appointed for the term
of good behaviour under the explicit provisions OF
the Constitution.
To add still deeper hue to their iniquitous deeds
the Legislature passed II law virtually disfranchis-
ing the students of Literary institutions, by depriv-
tnoy may De pursuing fnu stuoi!5:" "llGRn isy iGG9
student of Dartmouth or of any Academy, who
may have been born in Portsmouth,, cannot vote
only at Portsmouth though he may have resided at
Hanover for three years and with him had all his
property. II he wishes vote he must travel a
hundred miles TO Portsmouth to deposite his vote
1t so happens that about eigh:hs Of the stu
dents at Hanover are Wings and Hanover sends
two Wings to the Legislature. The next thing to
be looked for from the Legislature of N. H. is, that
the Wings shall by law pay all the taxes; and next
to that they shall all be hung,"whout the benefit of
clergy" Such laws would be IN perfect consisten-
cy with the acts above enumerated.
In tho name of Van Buren, democracy, the party
leaders in N. IL practice the tyranny-the
worst, because they set at naught the laws and
the plainest provisions of the constitution, make
them nngatory and Woodland make the conven-
fence OF party their only guide and directory. Let

pretend unbounded love for the people, as dd the
King of Great Britain to the American Colonies,
yet load them as he did with grievous burdens
with annual tax of $40, O0O, 900, and send a.
mong 'swarms of Officers to dictate obedience.
They cry out against what they call monopolies
specie paying banks-and favor the establishment
of great National Sub-Treasury Monster, under
the control of the Executlve-and giving the con-
troll of the peoples currency to him, when legit-
imately belongs to the people themselves. The
same party is seeking to obtain rover in Vermont
by virtue Of the same promises and the same pro-
fessons of love. 1t is the same IN spirit, in pur-
pose, that they sec the actual practical despot-
ism of New Hampshire, styling itself democracy
The Babary Kings would blush at such arrogant
encroachments upon their prerogatives.-at such
ou.rages upon liberty and equal rights.

TO THE WINGS. Aided by assessments upon
the Federal Office holders, if not by more direct
tax upon the National Treasury, the Van Buren,
editors in this State arc circulating their papers,
their extra descriptions, &c. into every corner of
the State. They have special agents abroad, and
have started post to circulate their
papers, laden with misrepresentation and deception,
intended to delude those who have not access to
other of information, into the support OF
the baIeful schemes of their party.
The Wings have such ads--they do not be-
heve it right to use money from the public Treas
ury to expend in party struggles;-they must tax
their own pockets to spread republican principles
Ought not the Wing papers to be more generally cir
cuated 10 counteract the efforts Of opponents?
