We hear great deal from the Wing press
about the desolating evils OF the Sub-Treasury
The N. Y. Journal oil Commerce is warmly op'
posed 10 that measure; ye, the following a'''cie
iron Thai paper OF The 9Th January, shows mat
the Wing cry is all a false "I'anic. nc MIS-
al the superior wisdom" Of the wings are very
shii;ully administered:
1v,,o po,,r,c.1 EcoSoMy-The Wigs are
destined 10 receive a grand defeat in .he mailer
~ ihr snb.Treasuly THY have propnesea
rn;n min upon This as upon the Bank and Iafili
questions aud once, twice, three times, there mas
been no ruin at all. The Wings are inleilisen! ana
wealthy above their opponents; al least hey .hlun
So; and are fullypursuaded that the Democrats are
very bad politicians and political economists,
whether they have knowledge on other inalseIs "f
not Bot how shall we account for II, lhal lne
wise and sagacious Wings have been so utterly
in the wrong upon so plain ipaueri ne :, Danh
The Tariff and the Sub-Ireasnry, are az u,s'
cussed sin the books" OF political economy OF inc
principles upon which they STAND, ana common
sense was pointing like faithful gulde-pos! 10
the truth ali the while. Yet The Wings proclaim
ed through every mouth which they could open,
thai the destruction of the United States BANK
would be the ruin OF the counlry-ihas wiliiout II
there could be no permanent, soundness IN the
currency and 10 stability in The exchanges
Bot no sooner was the Bank fairly out oil inc
way. than another law was found working heal'h
and good order through all our members. Inc
currency became sound OF itself and more h so ann
than ever il was while under The care OF The DOC
tors. Exchanges, remiltances, every lninS I'D
trade for which the Bank was supposed to be IN
dispensable, is much better conducted now, than
it was in The days OF the Bank. No political par
,y in this world or any other, was ever more
thoroughly beaten, physically, mentally, morally,
every way, than were The wise and noble Wings,
on the question OF a National Bank. On The
question OF Protection they made the welkin ring
again with the cry OF ruin, ruin! Yet we have
established sound free trade revenue Tariff, and
there is no ruin at all, either now here, or 10 be
here ''sooner or later" Al present we have the
debut ofthe subtreasury, which was TO produce one
more ruin, and, strange 10 say, this very time IS
taken for money TO become much more plenty
than before Here, then, for The third time, the
wise politicians are clearly 10 mistake.
We do not comprehend the value OF superior
wisdom, II it is in this way 10 be always exef-
cised in superior laundering.

The electricity ol the lower atmosphere.
for instance, is conducted away to other
regions, lhs variation oi the two Is made less
aud the violence with which the equilibrium
Is ises'abished Is diminished. By being thus
conducted away, tho influence is lesscncd

QuEsrioN.--MI. Wcsicou, Locoioco Sen.
ator from Florida, in his speech upon tho
motion Of bis colleague to eSpel Mr.. Polk's
editor from q priyeieged seat in the Senate
gave this very appropriate illustration;
The case can be likcned with prea,
propricly 10 one of association in pfyate
life. ! ask you Mr.. President, il an editor
assaiIci you in bis press, accused You of
crimes such as bribery and treason, would
you regard it as breach Of good manners,
as an enforcement Of the old sedition law.
or Of The law Of Judicial contempt, or an in.
yasion OF the liberty of the press, upon his
visiting your mansion At one Of your public
levccs, and taking notes Of what passed in
your house TO misrcprescnt in the public

direct one Of your servants to intimate to
him that his presence was disagreeablo to

Mr.. Wcsicoit said further in comment.
ing upon the past course Of the editor Of
the Union:
Mr.. President, | will not particularly
specify the repeated, unjustifable, nay, in.
famous attacks upon the private character
and reputation Of the members of both
houses, Democrats as well as Whips, in
the editorial colums OF the Union, Tor il
would be indicate towards the gentlemen
assailed. No one can forget them. Can
it be supposed those assailed have been
conclialed by such course of the Admins.
tralioni No, sir. lfihey were men whose
support is worth having; il they have the
independence and pride Of honorable men,
they would scorn sustaining or acting with
those who thus Iraduce them. tell YOU.
sir, the course and conduct OF the Union
has dono as much to cause the present
distraction in the alienation Of the ceilings
Of large portion OF the Democratic party
from the Administration as any thing else.
The Administration is regarded as respon.
sibo, and believe they are Justly espon.
sible for the course and conduct Of that
