VOTE ON THE SUB TREASURY.

We give below the yeas and nays on the sub
treasury BILL introduced by General Gordon, OF
virrin,a, on the 10Th Of February 1895, as an
amendment, and in lieu of the bill then pending
before Congress, to regulate the deposites in the
State Banks. 1t will be seen that but one solitary
Jackson ma voted for it in that day-abe the
question is now made the text of political ortho-
doxy by a party who yet indccently cling TO the
name for the sake of the popularity, of the Hero of
Orleans Can such men longer impose upon the
people, We are rejoiced to see that they cannot
in other States, and we do not believe they can in
this
If any other testimony, beyond this vote, were
wanting, to prove the gross inconsistency Of Mar
tin Val. Buren, and many of his leading friends in
this behalf. it is furnished in the speech made
against Gen. GOrdon's bill by Mr.. Speaker Polk,
in which he pronounced the banks to be "greatly
safer ms repositories than any individual" The
Globe, the Albany Argus, the Richmond Enquirer,
and other leading organs of the party at that day,
spoke of it as demoraizng, corrupt, consolidating
in its political tendencies and as "n scheme calcu-
lated to put the money Of the people into the palms
of the executive and to expose it to be plundered
by an hundred hands" The x.President himself,
in his last Message to Congress, spoke of it as
Offering 10 less violence to the spirit of the Con-
stitution than proposition to prevent the people
from bearing arms in self.defence. In short. Mr.
Tamadge, Mr.. Rives, Mr.. Polk, Mr.. Cambrelling,
COL Johnson and all the Jackson party were op-
posed to it during Mr. Van Buren's canvass for the
n ,,l,. H. ban cd
ally, in the footsteps Of his predecessor" Mr.,
Van Buren, was elected-on these promises, and
because the opposition were dispirited and dis
tracted between three rival candidates, and thou
sands cast their votes for Martin Van Buren, purely
and solely to avoid an election by the House.
But we come to the important question: Has
Martin Van Buren, iept his word to Tallmadge, to
Rives-ro THE COUNTRY! The vote Of New York
has answered, and the vote Of Virginia wiH answer.
whether the distinguished conservative senator's
from those States, or The President, have fal>ifed
their promises, and run counter to the country'S
dearest interests Most of all, this un-eXpunged
,ote will remain and hurn forever, the evidence
of ,cho remained faithful. Read the patriotic AID

to be "a Democrat"() has four times pressed this
scheme upon Congress, and has al last succeeded in
bringing orer, and bringing into that body ina.
loriry--or nearly mujority-in favour of this
vast scheme of executive ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. If any
argument were wanting to show the necessity Of
limiting such power and such influence to a Singh
Term, the progreSs-perhaps the passage of thi,
inQuitous measure-consttuteS more ample vol
Inc Of admoniion on the momentous propoitiol
than any mere argument
The few Wigs who joined Gen. Gordon ant
the other unlifiers on this proposition did so be-
cause they preferred almost any thing to the Stat,
Bank system for which it was offered snbsti
tute-and therefore. the vote shows not only tina
the whole Jackson party Of that day were not only
opposed 10 the SuJ-trrasQry, but in favour Of Stat
Banks. How ARE THEY NOW! Who have beer
most consistent and who are most to be trusted
The people will answer
The following is the rote, after the proposition
had been debated on the 10TH ll;h and 18th o.
February. Among the nays, we are gratilied tt
perceive the union between our deceased represen
ratives-notwithstanding they disagreed on many
,ther cardinal propositions.
