More of the Government Bank Notes
Paid tO Kearueys Aimy.

We recently noticed the technical-and il
was merely technical-defence of the Union
for the issue of Treasury drafts. We are now
astonished BY the information that nearly a
million Of dollars in this Government Bank
paper has been issued to the Paymasters Of
Kearhey's army! This Government Bank is to
be discussed in places EEMoTE FROM CITIES ANT
BANKS, where it cannot be presented immedi-
ately for payment, and thus bearing the ear
marks Of bank note circulate 'n-issued as
the shrewd cashiers of banks often issue them,
as far as possible from the place of payment
Let the reader note the following article from
the ST. Louis Republican :-Cincinaati Ctron.
"Will the Union dare deny, that Major Wal
ker, Paynaster Of the U. S. and attached to the
"A rmy Of the VEST under Gen. Kearney, was
furnished with one half and million Of collars
in Treasury Drafts, for the purpose of being
jisbursod in payment TO that army in Santa
Fe! Will it deny tina, they were printed Of
uniform denominations, and partook very
strongly Of the character of paper money!
Will it say that a free circulation, by disburse-
ment in Santa Fe and California, is the short
est ard speediest way OF obtaining payment
from the deposte banks upon which they may
have been drawn! Was it not anticipated,
that these drafts would be discussed to the army
in Santa Fe, or sold possibly at heavy dis
count, to American traders, who might have
specie funds al command, which they might
desire to place, without much risk, in the Uni
ted States? The Snb-Treasury law, passed
subsequent to the delivery 10 Ma Walker, Of
the immense sum Of Treasury drafts, to which
we have alluded, provides, that when means
are furnished to q discussing officer in drafts,
he shall cause these drafts to be presented at
their place Of payment, and properly paid ac

The President and his Off ciaI Paper.

| Senator Haywood, jim his address, details
some Of the secret History Of Politics, quite
novel and certainly very curious. Among
these are three statements: LIST. That he was
q personal and political friend Of the President
and as such, holding confidential conversation
with him, on the most important political SUBJ
jecls; eddy: That as such. friend, he informed
he President that he must resign or rote against
the nep Tariff and that he satisfied him that
such a course was necessary; 3Ily. That all
this was kept secret, and il api ears from the
conduct Of the Union, the official paper, at II
was entirely a secret from Mr.. Richie and his
advisers.
Now, If the reader will just compare this
statement of facts, on one hand. with the pub
LEGATIONS Of the Union and the course Of the
party leaders in Congress, on the Oregon and
the Tariff matters, on the other hand, there
will be developed the most curious state Of po-
litical relations that ever took place in gov
eminent. Itis worth while Just to look at it
moment:
LIST. The reader recollecis how in the early
part Of the Oregon Debate, the Fifty forties,
headed by Cas-, had it pretty much their own
way; and those who dreaded War with EGG
land as great calamity, were in a state Of anx-
iety and fearful snticipations. It will be rec
objected also, how Allen and Cass planted
themselves on the declarations Of the Balti-
more Convention, and quoted in triumph Mr..
Folks public bravado on the Oregon Ques-
ton.
After this drama had been enacted to a GER
tain point, forth steps Mr.. Haywood and an
nounees himself for az, and shows that Mr.
Folks meaning and declarations are consis-
tent with this position. The adva ee OF the
Fifty-four Forties is thus checked, and the
whole nation thrown into irretrievsble coniu-
sion. II was supposed that Mr.. Haywood made
this speech by advice with Mr.. Polk, as a feeler
as to his course. The present letter Of Mr..
Haywood shows that this superstition was true.
Ii shows shat be was the personal and intimate
friend and conidant of Mr. Polk, and that be
diseloses conversations on the Tariff with Mr..
Polk BY suthority. Now, the reader sees BY
the course Of the Union-by the course Of Al
len and CASSIDY the course Of Benton and 9TH
ers, that THrT knew nethsng at all about this
new position Of Mr.. Polk Mr. Polk has real
" separated himself, and concealed his action
from the leading minds Of his party.
2. This letter also shows that when the Union
was denOuneing in bitter terms Mr.. Haywood
as traitor to his party, this same Mr.. Haywood
vss in intimate and confidential intercourse
with President Polk, viOns he had eOnszlEed on
ebs ve'y suEeef Had the Official editor known
The Mississippi Creole. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1841-1851, 1846-09-19

this he would, Of course, been quiet 10 lamb
towards Haywood. He would never have a.
bused the confidential friend-lhe power be-
hind the throne-of that great parsonage upon
the crumbs of whose official table he was then
subsstng. This appears evident also, from
the half whining apologies which he has since
offered on the subject.
Mr.. Haywood says:
"The secret was kept sacredly upon my
part, and no Wing Senator knew ofmy OPPOSE
ton to the bill. With that view il was, that
down 10 the day before resigned, had no
conference with persons in Washington and
out of the Senate upon this subject, except the
President of The United States himself and one
of his cabinet; unless il may be, that in general
terms, limited to one of my colleagues in the
House that was embarrassed; but he asked
no interview, and sought none"
In fact, Mr.. Haywood's reply is most con-
elusive vindicalinn of himself against the as
sauts of the Union.
We inter from this whole history, as given
by Mr.. Haywood. that President Polk would
have been satisfied, at least,sh no more, that
this new Tariff, set forth by the Union as the
great measure of the party, should have failed,
if tina, failure could be brought about without
any direct agency of his. Mr.. Polk breads, a.
bove all things, the Bankruptcy of the Treasu-
ry, which is the inevitable result Of an expen-
sive war and a low tariff. In this, he shows
more sense and sagacty than those who laud
their measures, without foreseeing to what re-
suits they tend.-Cin. Ctroa
