The National Anniversary was celebrated at Wind
mill Island, opposite Philadelphia with much ecat.
Among the speakers the Philadelphia Inquirer emu
merates Hon. JOHN NJ Boris, of Virginia, who
made speech replete with soul-strring eloqucnce
and irresistible argumentthc remembrance of which
will not be readily effaced from the recollection of his
hearers. This gentleman was followed by the
Hon. Mr.. AFFORD of Georgia. and the Hon.
RICE GARLAND, of Louisana-both of whom did
honor to their wel-known and high reputation as
orators and the soundness and purity of their repub-
lican principles.
Mr.. BAER, the celebrated blacksmith then address
ed the meeting-and although he had previously
spoken no less than three times during the day, he
delivered one of bis capital pthy pointed witty and
unanswerabe speeches, in that racy style and spirit
for which he is descrvcdy famous.

Pensioners! Private Claimants! Widows of
Revolutionary Soldiers --all--aiI take notice!

The Federal Loco Foco majority of the
House OF Representatves-you representa-
tives-the peoples servants, determined some
weeks ago to pay no attention to your rights and
claims, IN order TO obtain the whole remaining
term OF the session for their party purposes, and
Tor passing the odlous Sub-treasury scheme
They thus far carried out their determination.
and will continue to act upon it,
What say you TO this enormous injustice, old
soldiers! What say you, pioneers and settlers
ofthe wilderness, private land claimants What
say you, long delayed petitioners for Justice
Tor your dues The Van Buren, majority, re-
CARELESS of every thing but party. are determin-
ed to give the go-by TO every one of your honest
claims, and to turn you off in scorn.

The Bankrupt Bill ought to have gone par
pdssu with the Subtreasuy. The latter will
probably reduce the currency $5o0o0,0o0 more
than il is already reduced and consequently the
means Of debtors the same amount. Honest
unfortunate men who are crushed in the extern
sive destruction of banks, ought to have the be-
nefi of release from the legal effect of their
debts, and be permitted fair chance TO nav
their debts and save their families from entire
destitution. But our pateraal loco-ioco legis-
lators are willing TO crush destroy and enslave,
but they have not the magnanimity TO extend
any relief or restitution from the consequences
OF their own acts.
In 1895, the banking capital of the Union was
S23l,250,337. AT the commencement of the
present year il was 1858, 442,692 Thus il in
creased SO per cent in five years. 1t is now to
be reduced IN proportion more rapid, or nearly
20 per cent this year.
In 1887, we predicted that the Sub. treasury
policy would wind up two-thirds of the banks

Ioce TO see that it is They have destroy ed and
will continue to destroy all the banks within
their control

they have already forced out Of existence has
not been far from $30,OoO,0OO Property has
fallen in a ratio probably still larger. and is des-
tined to go down more than $50, 100000 lower.

The Loco-focos of Louisville, recently issued
an address which was remarkable only for the
desperate and reckless departure from the truth,
and wanton perversion of the records of the
country. Its effect may be in the follow
ing note
To The editors Of the Louisville Journal.
FRANKFoRT, KY, June 18th, 1S40
Dear Sirs Arriving here Yesterday from Pike
county, Mo-, and being much fatgucd, con-
cuded to rest In the course of the day, came
across the Address of the Democratic Commit
tee of Louisville, and pcrused il diligently, al
dignant at the gross and low dishonesty Of the
party, to which have ever belonged, in making
and spreading such garbed and forged extracts
against the good old patriot and father of the
West, Gen. w. H. Harrison.
| The first vote ! ever gave was for Jackson. |
also supported Van Buren, but will not stand
il any longer. | am now forever done with the
poor mans enemies, the present V. B. spoilers
Little did think, when left my home, that
should so soon feel constrained to change nv
politcs, but. thank God, my eyes are opened,
and in November next, if | live to get to the
polls. will give the honest, the good, the great
Gen. w. H. Harrison my hearty support.
look upon the Address of the Democratic
| Committee Of Louisville as being one of the
darkest deeds they could be guilty Of Such an
attempt to gull and mislead the public and rob
the advocate and friend of nv own dear
State, Missouri, of his laurels, causes me TO re-
feet and look back upon my past folly in advo-
eating so ruinous a cause. ! now throw of my
chains and will be free

THE sUB-TREAsURY DEBATE.

THE SUB-TREASURY DEBATE.
Towards the close of the debate ON the Sub-treasu-
ry Bill the speeches of members both sides follow
ed each other SO rapidly that we were compelled by
want of room and the pressure of other matters of i'm
mediate public interest to condense very much our
accounts Of the proceedings Otherwise we would have
given more detailed notices ofthe speeches of Messrs
CAMPBELL, of Tennessee, GREEN, and HAYES, ofKen-
lucky, and HILL, of Virginia, than enabled
to present
MIR. CAMPBELL brought forward many new and i'm
portant views and spoke with degree of animation
and power which held the close attention of the House
No member is more highly estimated among his con
stituents than this gentleman and he did honor to
them and to himself by the vgor and effect with
which he resisted this leading measure of ~ ADM
nstration
The remarks Of Mr. GREEN, of Kentucky, were
full Of spirit and showed much acuteness and force
of intellect His illusions to General Harrison, as
the man whom free, enlightened and candid people
bearing onward to apply the proper remedy for the
accumulated mischiefs under which they have been
suffering, produced strong impression-the more
irresistible from the recollection that this able member
fought the battles of his country in the field with
Harrison.
Mr.. HAYES made well-seasoned and powerful
speech against the project Of this Federal Locooco
Administration; and we happy to hear that it will
soon be presented to the public at length
Mr.. Hill, of Virginia, spoke as became son of the
unterrifed commonwealth" against the measure
which the Executive, by the means and influence at
his command has been enabled to carry through and
accomplish We hope his remarks will be speedily
published for the benefit Of his constituents, and the
public at large.
The Bill against which 50 many eloquent voices
in Congress, and throughout the country were raised,
has passed; but let the arguments and views with
which it opposed, be scattered far and wide over
the country

The cloyen foot shows itself in this remarkable ex-

ana virtually admits what have long apprehended,
that 1t Is the design Of Mr.. Van Buren's policy to
unite the purse and the sword. Rightly Interpreted,
and stripped Of equivocation, the toast would read
thus
