INDEPENDENT STATE TREASURY.
We perceive by our exchange papers that
he Locofocos Of Ncw-York are strongly IN ia
W Of an Independent Treasury, State and
Naiioual. What are the views Of the party in
Mississippi on this subject! Are they, in con-
uccton with their brother Huge Palos and
Bal Rollers Of the "Empire State" in favor Of
an Independent Treasury for Mississippi
Speak Out cO-rOrksrs in iniqity-telltlse truth

Grthlc yourselves. Whatever you may say
To- the contrary, we contend that you are, OF
700 areno democrats. Your brethren Of New
York never would have proclaimed the like
bad not instructions issued from the righi
quarter; and you know that you dare not dis
sbey the mandate; although you may keep tia
Ecret for a while. But do the people know
lhsl No! not from you, but they shall know
t-from US. BE it remembered then, by the
whole people Of Mississippi, that the selEstyl-
ed Democratic party are not only in favor Of .
National Sub-Treasury, but also Of StatJ
Sub-Treasury, and Of the collection Of tbs
Taxes in Gold and Silver, to be retained in th'

The open and fragrant violations Of the
purity and independence of the elective
right BY the agents, officers, and depend
ents Of the federal government, which have
marked the recent elections ia different
states, show the wisdom ana foresight Of
those who for several sessions of congress
have endeayored to procure the passage
ofsome measure to prevent interference
with the freedom of elections. The his.
tory of the contest which has taken place
in every state wherin the administration
party have gained temporary successes,
proves that the questions raised at the last
session on this subject, were of more i'm
portance to the liberty and constitution OF
this country, than any that have been pre-
scented for years and not exceeded by
any that have been raised since the foun-
dation Of the government. 10 the better
days Of this republic, whatever may have
been the madness of party, this great fun
damental right Of the people has been held
sacred from all interference by govern
ment or its subordinates, and from every
attempt TO overawe, control, or influence
