The mask has been thrown aside. Prior

every indication IN favor of the Sub.treasury
plot. The Globe was sient--ihe Journals in
The interest of the administration. were silent,
until The proper time arrived. aud the Rich

Senator Buchanan, an ultra federalist Of he

wrestling the pubic moneys from the hands Of
the people and giving it to the control OF, the
Executive, and the President himself throw

foot at once, has in his recent speerhes upen-

which lie is backed by the Globe, and other
administration journals. The Evening Post
says -

here is no longer any concealment in the
matter The treason is openly avnwed by
the traitors; The credit system is 10 be DESTROY
Ell, The banks broken, The merchants bank
rupted; labor, industry, public and private
prosperity, and the liberties of the country
placed in jeopardy by band OF sworn and
pledged conspirators. The crisis has arrived
Tor action.
The proper course for the Wing party
throughout the Union would be, at once to
unite on IA well tried, honest aud capable anti
sub-heasury candidate for the Presidency,
and run up The tl,g aud fight the battle with
zeal aud determination. Mr.. Van Buren, i
openly in The field, with his broad banner If

W hi.s have no candidate in The ii 1T, under
whom they can rally with enthusiasm and
effect.
Should this he found impraciicahlc, from
our unhappy divisi ms, we can al least unite

country from this niinous blow Let the
banks throughout the State and Union pro-
coed in the most cautious and prudent inan-
ner, in the transaction Of their business, 80 as
to ward' irany attack from tn, administration.
Let merchants and men in business make up
their minds that they have determined enemies
il the administration, bent on their destruc-
ton. Let those dependen, on trade and com
merce for their bread, understand fully the
rninous intentions Of the party ut Washing
ton.
There is sufficient strength and union, and
good sense, and common protection among
the people, TO prevent the contemplated union
of the purse and sword in this obnoxious con
spracy. The crisis has arfivcd-the avowai
is darinsly made, and the cry Throughout, the
land should be, "domn ,chh The sub-treasury!"
