Beauties Of the Sub Trea<ury.

The Sub Treasury was before the
House a. last dates. The Finance COM
mii.ee who have il in charge naw propose
TO amend ii by providing for the paymen,
of government, dues in Treasury notes and
drafts. The very thing tina. was profess.
eddy designed to be accomplished by this
bill. is here unblushingly repudia,ed. As
far as the government was concern.
ed we thought all its payments and re
ceipts were 10 be made in gold and silver
by the operation Of The Sub Treasury. =
This was certainly its professed object al
6rst. Blu, progressive" is sure enough
the watchword at Washington. The
progress Of things has led the Finance
committee of the Senate TO see the neces
sity Of making paper machine shop of
the Treasury. While tho loco focos
repudiate banking, they have determined
to become the greatest banking monopoly
in the land. Messrs Allen and Benton.
both hard money men, consistently de-
nounce this "new way of paying old
debts" "Old Bullion" says although he
assisted in framing the late Sub Treasury
bill, he found after it went into operation
i, was all mere humbug. From all the
arguments on both sides it appears tina,
the Sub Treasury Bill. if it passes. will
create a mammoth government Bank
What would Gen. Jackson say to such a
thing!
Mr. BENTON, later in the debate, en-.
larged upon what he had before said and
complained that the creditors Of the gov.
eminent were TO be paid in paper money
as they would. The amendment pending
would make the Treasury Department q
mammoth bank Of issue. 1t provided 9
Treasury currency and allowed notes Of
drafts TO be sen. out of the denomin alton
Of $50, 500. $500 and more.
Mr. BENTON astonished the Senate bv
| the recital Of an occurrence which took
place in the summer of 1910. A letter
was sent to the Secretary Of the Senate Il
be read. Ii was marked confidential
/ wri,ieS in August. and signed by r.
Hartley Crawford. .irea Indian Agent
| The letter was written 10 the iuti;ar
Agent in Missouri. under the direction 81
the Secretary of War and the Secretary O
the Treasury. and its objec, was to per
suade the Indians to receive their pay
mems in the deprecated notes of tn
Bank 9th United States. then iargei,
deprecated. Full evidence of this deli
bera.e purpose was furnished in the let,e
10 the Agent and in the answer.
This same Mr. Crawford is now Judg
of the Criminal Court a. Washington.

A Scared Editor.

Our friend across The way would make
a most capital general. In fact there
seems 10 be remarkable coincidence
between his conduct during the late
political contest in this Territory and
.ha. of Gen. Hull a, Detroit, during the
late war. While those over whom he
was leader, were all anxious and hopeful
to obtain victory, he orders them to
ground their arms. and surrender to their
enemies. crying all is lost, lost. lost. So
frightened is he that he magniies his
opponents, and makes it appear that the
odds agains. him are so great in point of
numbers as to make it entirely useless 10
hold out any longer. The adage runs
Figures never lie," bu. according to our
friends summing up. we think there may
be an exception to that rule. In addition
to his error of 800 in favor of his oppo.
nents in adding up. he greatly reduces
the strength of his own party to which
they are entitled. in many Of the counties.
so as to demonstrate as he thinks that the
Constitution is defeated. The COMPARE
son we have made above was partly sug.
ges,ed by the editor himself in seeing in
his article that portentous and glaring
capital H and the little his attached 10
almos. every county. He says they
stand for the words shave been heard
from" bu. we have thought proper to
attach to them more of cabaIislc mean.
ing. Whoever thought Of H standing for
wha. he says it does! No, no. i. must
mean "Hurrah for Hull, I'll initiate
him."
If we were disposed to do as too many
do, "kick a man when we see him going
down hill" we NIGH, say much more in
"pure ironic STRAIN" but we do really
despise from the bottom Of our heart any
thing Of the kind. When we see de-
serving man made target Of for the
derision or contempt of a community
though we be alone in it and i. may make
Us unpopular-,hough he may have injur
ed us. we nevertheless always take par
in his behalf. As we sometimes ar,
mistaken in the characters of men. il may
be tina, the editor of the Gazette may turr
out to be a more deserving man than WI
and many others think him to be. We
leave him therefore to his own calcula
| tons.

Prof. Bronson.

This gentleman, who is well and favor
ably known Throughout. the east. has
delivered several interesting lectures in
this place. He has with him a mos,
extraordinary piece Of mechanism, which
he calls Manikin. This shows all The
muscles, arteries, and veins Of the human
body. and is so constructed as TO be sepa
rated into 1000 parts, even to the joints
Of the toes. We dare not undertake to
describe it. Every muscle, artery and
portion of the body, with their uses.
are explained by Professor B. in detail,
thus making his audience perfectly fam
liar with the whole anatomy of the human
body. The Msnikin was manufactured
in France a. grea. expense Of time and
means, and several thousand bodies were
dissecsed 10 accomplish its completion.

From the above data, although far from
being official. we conclude ,ha, the Con.
s,i,uion is adopted by from 200 to $50
votes.
Since the above was in type we learn
tina. the official majority agains, the Con
s,i,ution in Washington county is reduced
to 1853. We hear also that the Cons,i,u.
ton in Lee will be 500 instead of $50.
in Linn county the majority for the
Constitution will amount to 200. The
alteration of these figures will make
difference of l42 in favor of the Cons,i,u
ton. Every citizen, then, should look
our position
Full ian the Face.
This result will place Iowa in new
relation TO the government. Al a people,
we are to assume new responsibilities
We should enter upon them calmly, and
with sincere determination to make ours
truly glorious State. II partizan zeal
is permitted TO enter into any OF the in
gradients in The formation of our State
character, then will our worst fears be
awakened as to the success Of this expe.
rimen.. While we consider one Of the
principles Of the new Constitution emf
nently tyrannical and an,.republican in
it's character. and opposed it all we could,
we are nevertheless disposed to give the
instrument fair and impartial trial. We
do this because majority of the people
have declared it 10 be the law Of the land,
and because we wish to throw no obs.a.
Giles in the way Of laying sure founda.

which will be likely 10 come before the

The Standing Army.

We begin to think tina. the great object
aimed al in getting into the war with
Mexico and prosecuting it, is not only for
conquest. but also to carry out darling
measure of the loco foco leaders at Wash.

standing army in the United States
Such measure was highly obnoxious to
Washington, Jefferson and the Conslilu-

seem 10 think they know better than all
the wise ones of former times and are

Buren,. l, was TO have been 100000
strong. Perhaps our presen. rulers. as
long as they can humbug Pennsylvania,
think they do not need so many, or per.
