II meeting Of the Locofocos Of Sugarcreet
township, Hancock county, Indiana, the following
/ resolution adopted:
/ "Reso1red, That ,re beliere the Independent
Treasury to be the best national institution for the
! safe keepine and disbursine of the public nonfp."
+ How often has il been remarked by the Loco
foco authors Of cur dstrosses that the truc rene
dy is in the industry, and the resources Of our
People! Martin Van Buren, pointed US for rclief,
to soil, and to tho enterprise and the vIgor OF
our people, and his lesser satellites have insuted
Us after tho same fashion. II is true we have a
soil--ferte beyond parallel in the iona in which
it lies, and a people not TO be ondono IN the
earth's expanse 10 industry, energy, skill and en-
,erprizo. With such a soil and such People,
distress would DO q stranger, II the. AdmInlstra-
ton of our Government was pure and well dFec-
ted. Ba, Heaven could not bless US, (unless
by miraculous interpositon,) as that We should
prosper beneath tho whitening policies with which
the Locofoco Party seek 10 opPIess 'h1 Nation
/ A moro convenient instrument for Wholesale
destruction could not be fashioned by tho Arch
Fiend, than is the Sub Treasury project now
sought by Martin Van Buren, and his co-ndJn'ors
to be enforced among US. Its effects would be 10
enter the mechanics workshop, and 10 close his
doors; TO visi, the farmer and make barren his
soil; to arrest the wages of the laborer, and rem
der desoate bis birthstone!
Look at Mexico as Illustration Of the effects
of this Infamous Sub-Treasury. Its mines of sill.
vor know no equal. More silver has been drawn
from them, for the pas. two hundred years, than
from half the earth besides. Land is cheap, on
IL few cents an acre, and on six years credit
/ The soil is spontaneously productive; unrivalled
in luxuriance. To convey proper idea OF the
richness of Mexican soil, quote from "statis'
teal view Of Mexico" published in 1886, what
/ follows:
1.-The land 10 Mexico is generally much superb
or to that ia the United States. Almost ell the
! productions Of other cliGnes grow there IN rich
iuxuriance.
/ .The produce of tnaze is wonderful, On acre
stems are 20 feet high, with five SIX long
/ "Wheat grows we'll only on the table lands,
but there it commonly yields % to |. 10 the IT.
rigated lands of Mexico j, has yielded so TO
L. ,
cred the average production; and the bes, lands
| 10 kentucky yield only p 10 l.
.sTo produce fl,00O000 Of sugar only $50
hands are required, while 300 requisite 10
Cuba and louisiana
/ "The production of Coffee is s.ll easier in
Mexico 30 men can attend 700 trees, which,
on an average, produces 500, 900 pounds
Cotton, Also of a quality far superior 10 ours,
can be produced in many parts OF Mexico in grea
ter quantities by one third than can be obtained
from the bes, lands in Louisiana.
"'rhe silver mines in Mexico are perhaps mex
heustible. $4,000, 900 900 have been drawn from
them during 800 years past, averaging 100000
i 900 per annum.
"Horses, cattle, sheep, &c, of the finest quail
tv, can be raised at very irItling expense; the
climate being remarkably congenial TO their ma
+. ,ure The expense of winter feeding ls avoided
there being no winter there horses Of the hes,
quality can be obtained for So or $50 per head
But, Reader, the SuB-TREAsURY prevails in
that land and It's hard-money influences have
converted that Paradise into He'll! There the
: aboring classes constitute nins~,enths Of the
, whole popul alton, and they are more degraded
impoverished and hopeless, than in any other sec
ton of the Globe, The following extract from
the same work will convey their condition.:
agricultural labor can be obtained throughout
Mexico at the average rate of p cents per day
: These low rates operate emnen'ly TO the advan-
tage of the rich Agriculturst: but the conse
quence is niue>ten,hs Of the laborers forever re
main in the most alject poverty and serritude. =
a Like the aneen, Israelites they sell themselves II
pay their debts; a small debt of few dollars, of
ten forcing them into a servitude, from which, IL
consequence of the high price of clothing, and th
