PUBLIC DEFAULTERS.
 It will be borne in mind that a fayoritc theme of Whig newspapers, and Wing orators, has long been. and continues to be, the defalcatons of public off cers, during Mr. Van Buren's administration, and under the operation of the Independent Treasury system Some of the Whig candidates in this State, especially in this county who are half starved for office, and have been living on the hope of getting ita meagre diet, by the way, and destined toremain so-=haye recently grown almost rabd> on the sub ect-so rabid, indeed to say any and every thing which their desperation may suggest or which news papers, as interruptions as themselves, may supply them with.
 The Louisville Journal snarting under the recent defeat of the Wings, in Mir. Clay's own State, is leading the way in these misrepresentatons; and it fndsready echoes throughoutthe west. The people of Pulaski county have been recently treated to one of these dishes of misrepresentation, in the form of Col. Fowler's speech at the City Hal which is pa raded, with great ceremony, and the most fulsome praise, in the columns of the Gazette. The whole of il is justly subject to severe reproduction on ac- count its misstatement and false coorng of facts its perverson Of truth, and it's unwarranted deduc- tions. Only one portion of it, however, is of sui cent importance to claim special attention at this time that in relation to public defaulters under the Independent Treasury system. It is, in substance, only repetition of the old and long since refated, charge which is now revived by the Louisville Jour nal as text for the 'sma beer politicians and which they very busy retailing over the country The Louisville Democrat furnishes such full and complete exposure and reuaon of this false charge, thatye copy t intire, in place of any further re- marks four own;
 From the Louisville Democrat
 The people have not forgotten the scenes of unparalleled roguery that disgraced the country during the short existence of that Locofoco system of finance, the infamous Sub-TreasuIy. While this measure was in being, the number of defaulters to the Go- vernment was so great that it was supposed that nothing but the most extraordinary in tegrity on the part of sub-treasurers. could resist the temptations to steal afforded them. In order to refash the memories of our readers in re- gard to the blessed operations of the Sub i Treasury of the Van Ruren administration, we publish the following list of delaaIting sub-ueasurers. These are a few of that mul- titude whose name is legion. Look at them and reflect that the Locofocos mean to set tine sub-treasnry on its legs again, in order that the list of public thieves may be increas- ed q hundred fold.-Loajac{Ic Journal
 If ignorance is bliss, the writer of the para graph we have quoted is certainly the hap pie5t man in Louisville; for We are sure he could not find any one even among the Glee Club politicians who would not know better than to assert that these delaleations which are paraded in the Journal. took place under the sub-neasury system. The snb-treasury was established in 1840, July 4th, or there ab5uts, and was repealed as soon as coonerY and cabinry got into power: not a single de- faleatioa took place underit; nor was a cent lost It's operation that even =whiggefy has ever heard of-and whiggery has sometimes heard strange things. We have appended 10 the article from which this paragraph was taken, the names of thirty-thfee deiaultcrs, and that toe, as we are informed, under the sub-reasury system.
 The following is the list of defaulters given by the Journal, with the amounts charged to each one; and the whole charged upon the
