avaricious speculators2" Truly, this Whlssery
is mos, slippery animal, changing us coiors
with more ease and cunning than the chameieon'
The Wing does not seem willing TO fight over
The suerilla-skirmishe of April. It thus drops
he unpleasant "reminiscences and flies of upon
an inlerrogatory 10 ourselves;
"Rut We had no intention 10 stir up rtc0iteet'onS
oorfcaIIe IL no portion Of the IThtyS Of Ri;hmona
or he eoaufrv, however delectable 10 their opPo-
nen,s. Our object was rather 10 ask the Enquirer
and The Union, this single queSlion:-"GoT Steele
of New Hampshire, and others, are bringing
IN The Sub Treasury again, and il is about 10
he moo,ed before the country:-What are you
going 10 do with it?' ("
This query must strike our readers WIN sur
n-;se Willis, we are no, in the secrets OF the
administration and DO not profess 10 speak Tor
them. We point the Wing TO the resolutions oil the
,ast Baltimore Convention, which nominated
AR Polk. and il will there ind that the Sub
Treasury was made one Of the leading issues
f-,on The question OF a national BaLa and Sub
Treasurs The canvass was conducted throughout
The Union-Mr. Polk was lriumphanily elected
,bs Rank was killed Tor ever, wc hope. and, as 4
natural consequence, the SuhTreasury was sane
toned By The popular voice. We Go not dno"
wba, The views OF The President may be, bul we
are satisfied that, on this, as on every
Other question brought into The can"asS,
he will prove hue 10 the principles which guiuea
his nomination and raised him TO the Presidential
Chair The Wing should have known that IN
like lis own party, the Democrats make II RUE
10 carry out their avowed measures 10 lo4u,
no sterner opponents 10 Federal Bank ana
hish Tariff were 10 be found han among The
sJet,ersonan Republican" Wings in Virginia.
No sooner, however, did they get into power
Than they forgot all the professions OF their famous
Addresses-un;ed with their party, under The
lead Of Mr.. Clay. and passed Bank BILL Tor Inc
ve,oins &c which Mr. Tyler their boosted anti
Bank champion, was denounced as traitor IRON
Dan 10 Resrsheba," threatened with mpeach-
ment and driven from The society oi all true
Wigs" The Democrats will be Tar from follow
inc suea an example OF consistency and o;ero'ion
10 principle! We cannot, therefore, tell The Wing
whs, we are "song 10 DO with" he Sub-T7easa-
~. but it will be 4, no loss 20 understand what re
think ought 10 be done with il.
