THE INDEPENDENT. TREASURY.

I NLADORl.
 The present House of Representatives will leave on record nothing so gratifying to the Democracy that elected them as the trum- phant vote-l23 to 6S-with which they have carried through the bill for an ndepen- dent treasury. It Is the first and most im- portant step towards the vindication of the administration of Mir. Van Buren and it has been taken so decidedly that we trust their democracy, ill that direction, will be "por- gressive. We have our fears that the bill will not pass the Senate; but .'so far so good,n and the sober second thought will not be slow in reaching that body, and con- polling 1t to yield to the voice of the people. Eight years we have already waited for the consummation of this work Come we al- ways have been assured 1t will. IL is too simple to be kept from the understandings of the people-it IS too just not to be liked by them. They have felt the yoke of a nation al Bank: they see the gross injustice of the present system of pet Repositories, leaving the peoples money under the direct control of the executive, and making 1t subserve his political and personal patronage. There is but one alternative. It Is to return to the simple mode of keeping and independent treasury, as was in practice under Washing ton-independent of brokers, of spectators, of capitalists, and incorporated wealth-and under the will and authority of no earthly power but the people, This is republican doctrine, and the independent treasury was essentially republican measure. It was the

 The mighty defalcations and the conse- quent wide spread ruin, which attended the State Bank system, showed that the evil was again at work, and that crisis, differing on 1 ly in degree from that in which old lick ory had freed the nation, was approaching, and ilia; a soul like his would be wanted for the trial Martin Van Bmen was then true to his principles and io his country. The whole Bank power of the couniry-like all government pets, demanding protection and weggng for sympathy the Ioudest, when they have been spoiled by the one and are the least deserving of ihe othef-was drawn ap against the administration. Had Alr. Van l Burea bowed to them, he might have been President. But moral courage, such as the history ot man rafciy has io record. anima- ted hiin-he dared io do. The wonder was not sa much that he fell, as that he had the iirraness tn meet the tall as hs did. He was cried down as an innoyaiar--a destructive when hs was lruly restnrcr and enuseFya- tive. lIe vas laughed al as an experiment tef. when he followed Washington and lei- iegsan, and the experiments ot is>T.
