BEAUTIES OF THE SUB TREASURY
ANOTHER VAN BUREN, DFkAuLrEK


The defalcation of Jesse HOyt, late Coll
lectOr of the port of New York, has been 90.
certained to amour Mt to the sum of TIoO Hun.
dred Gmd Twenty sir Thousand Dollars! This
amount was taken by this illustriOus success.
or Of Swartwout, while the sub.treasury sys-
tenn was in full operation. We know not
with what face the supporters OF this tavorit0
measures al locofOcoism, can longer claim
that It is safeguard against dedication
1t is claimed to be system by which the
public money may be kept-and such il 10
shown to be. BY the tenacity which Mr.. HOyt
holds on to the money in his hands.
What boosted merit Of the sub.treasury
scheme now remains, which has not alreadY~
by the course of events, been shown to have
no existence, except in the imaginations Of
its inventors! 1t is proved to have been ru-
inous to the business community-and must
necessarily check and paralySe the useful
operations of our banking institutions. These
effects the Wings always fully believed
would result from its operation. 1t is now
shown that it is also unsafe for the govern
ment. All its bolts and bars, its penalties
and its vaults, have not been able to prevent
defalcation, which approaches in magni-
tude the enormous robberies of Swartwout
and Price. The Van Burenites attempted 10.
throw the stigma of Swartwout's defalcation'
upon the Wings He was appointed by Gen..
jackson, and Was one Of their own men In
every particular-but when he proved de-
faLlter for an enormous amount-they dis
covered that he was the Wing candidate for
Vice Presidency! What will they say Of
Hoyt? Is he too Wing? The BOSOM
friend Of Mr.. Van Buren-the leader of his
party in New York-the inrpersonation of loeo--
focoism-how can the loco focos clear their
skirts Of his iniquity! He has shown this
favorite sub-treasury scheme to be only
another city of refuge for thieves and robbers
yet the loco foco leaders Of Connecticut.
are clamoring for its restoration. Will tho
people consent Conn. Courans.
