5. g arguments, but like many Of bis other ones
deserve very little considoratlon) We might
multiply the objections Of the democratic party TO
almost any extent. 10 this financial scheme, but as
we have very little confidence 10 their wisdom aud
honesty, and the people at present seem to have
little, it might be useless to continue them fur.
Their
We will now adduee some Of the arguments Of
the Wing party against This scheme:
They argue that il sas intended and will end
in Government Bank, which viii subject all the
money affairs Of the county to the control Of the
federal executive--nay worse, if the administra-
ton continue to increase the national debt, the
Russian funding system will be resoned to, which
will hoard all the specie ia the vaults OF the Sub
Treasures, while il will issue paper for the use of
the public.
Another argument against the system under
consideration, (and one Of great consideration to
the South) viii be the inequality Of lis fleets upon
the different sections of the confederaey.
The South is thetax-paying section two-thrds
of the exports of the Union are produced here
and comparatively nothing discussed with her
The North is The iax-receiving section-she ex>
ports little, while almost the entire disbursements
IRE made with her. Therefore, whatever increa-
ses The value of the currency Of the country by
diminishing it in quantity, Expresses the South for
the benefit of the Eorih. This the opponents Of
the Sub-Treasury regards as too obvious TO re-
qure any argument TO sustain.
Tho last argument which we shall enumeraie
against the Sub>Treasury is. that office-holders
and men in possession of money capital are alone
benefited by IFS effect in reducing the prices of all
commodities, while all other classes are injured
especially debtors. For example the Presi-
dent of the U. S. receives SALARY of $4,000 a
year. Suppose FIVE mechanics for their labor re-
ceive the same amount-reduce the wages of la
Dor as the Sub-Treasury proposes 10 do, half and
the president and his mOnied men who might de.
sire to employ the mechanics would have 10 pay
only one half what they now pay.
There is no great difficulty in perceiying the
reason why office-holders and capitalists should
be for the Snb>Treasury scheme, but it is totally
inconceivable why Mechanics should be for it,
who are especially intended to be made lis VIC
tins. Indeedits effects viii most unquestionably
be " 10 make the rich richer, and the poor pOorero
and TO add 10 the misfortunes ofthe unfortunate
debtor.
We have merely glanced at some Of The argu-
menls against the fatal Sub Treasury scheme; We
have published so much on the subject that an ar
gument in detail against it at this time, might seem
uncaIled for.

From the Albany Argus of March la. sls.

There is an elegance approaching to subnity
in the General Orders ofJan. 2, to the Northwest
ern Army under GEN. HARRISON. These
orders were issued in consequence of the return
ola detachment from a successful expedition in>
to the Indian country, the detachment bad orders
among other things, $50 Saue the aronisn and chill
dren. and to spare The Darrior ,Oho ceased 10 re
sist." After thanking the detachment for their
attention to this order, the General proceeds;
LET the account of murdered innocence be o.
pened in the records of Heaven against our enc
mics alone; the American soldier will follow the
example of his Government, and neither the sword
of the one will be raised against the helpless or
the fallen, nor the gold Of the other paid for the
scalp of the murdered enemy"

and we learn that such is the case through
OUT the middle and upper Districts. The
water courses are almost as low as any
time during last summer. In Georgia. al.

for the time of year, whilst sections of The
Northern and Eastern States are deluged
with rain. The weather has been cold

have had some frost two or three mornings
this week. Fears were entertained for

that gcntlemau's nomination, and gives
reasons for supporting him.
This is as it should be. There is plenty
ofrime for the friends ofthe respective can

for that very reason to talk about "Gore-
stalling," as the Barnwell preamble does,
is mere fudge. Let them go on informing

him; and ifby next winler the people are

which have not already been conceded to
Col. Richardson, except having served
in the militia. Not living in his beat, we

Health ofths City.-Arepor', we under
stand, has gained circulation in many
parts of the country, that the city is very
unhealthy, and in some instances has
been SO exaggerated as to induce the i'm
preston OH the minds Of the credulous,
that the fatal epidemic Of the last autumn
is prevailing TO an alarming EXTENT
What could have influenced any one 10
give currency to such an unfounded rumor
we know not, for certainly nothing could
be more false. When we were first ad-
vised Of the existence Of the report, we
supposed the good sense of the people
would at once discountenance it; but
since we have heard OF its spreading still
more, and gathering more alarming fea-
lures in its progress, we noticeit, to say to
those who desire to visit the city either ou
business or pleasure, that the city was
never more healthy, or at least so say those
who have the best means of knowing
For our own part, we have been in the
city now near two months, and we have
not seen funeral or even heard Of case
ofsickness ofany kind whatever.-Chroni-

WASHINGTON, March 7, 1S4O.

w aShlNtVON, Uldtcu ~ 4O3U. r
The Senate adjourned, at late hour.
last night. The debate was continued
with great spirit. Mr. Preston and Mr..
Clay both declared that they had always
believed that tho object of this adrninistra-
ton was 10 destroy commerce, PROSTATE
credit, establish metallic currency, abol-
ish the banks, &c., and they had UNDER
stood these measures to be advocated by
the organs Of the administration. Mr..
King, of Alabama, and Mr.. Brown. Of
N. c., disclairned this policy, and declared
that the Senators had no warrant for i'm
putting it to the administration.
Mr.. Benton and Mr.. Allen, who were
particularly alluded 10 by Mr.. Clay, made
no explanation. Mr.. Preston endeavored
10 bring them out, as we'll as his colleague.
Mr.. Calhoun said, he would suffer no
one to say for him, what his principles
were on these subjects. Long experience
had shewn him what was the character of
these institutions. He made no war upon
The banks-but they were perishing by
self-slaughter-a train Of moral and po-
!iiical developments was in progress,
which would lead to their complete over
throw. They carried within them, the
seeds of their own destruction. He would
never assent 10 The doctrines or PROPOSE
tions of the Senator from Pennsylvania,
(Mr. Buchanan,) in regard tn the con,inu-
ance of the banks, and the recognition of
them, by the General Government. He
differed toto celo, from the gentleman on
this subject He was opposed TO his prop
osilion to amend The Constitution, with a
view TO regulate the banks, because rha,
would necessarily eneraft them upon our
Constitution. After Mr.. Calhoun had ex-
pressed these views, Mr.. Clay, of KY,
exclaimed" that is manly-,hat is can
did-open." The intimatioa on the part
Of Mr.. Clay and others, was that these
radical projects were forwarded by many
who did not openly avow them.
The Seuale finally adopted by strong,
majority, the resolutions and report against
the assumption of State Debts-so that
matter is ended.
The Senate did not sit to-day.
The House has again been engaged the
whole day, on knolty point of order, re-
laling to the presentation, by the Speaker,
Of some documents relative to the Jersey
case.
There is prospect that the Jersey case
will be settled, for the present, on Tuesday
next, by the admission of Messrs. Vroum,
Dickerson, &c.

We have had more rain this last week,
than has fallen before during the previous
twelve months. The earth is so parched,
however, by the heavy drought, under
which we have been suffering, that it will
do but little good, we fear, unless il should
be followed by an extremely wet season.
