The SUb-s're:asury,

The Constitutional Treasury System as
recommended by that able statesman,
MARTIN VAN buren,, has more than met
the expectations of its warmest friends.
The republicans of the Union should be
proud OF its success, for the reason that
no measure ever brought before the coun-
try by the Democracy, has been more bit
terly and Indignantly assaulted by the fed
eral party than this. Not only was the
measure itself abused and derided by eve
ry federal slang whanger in the Union,
but epithets the most vile were showered
upon the head of him who first conceiv-
ed and brought it into existence. But
the triumphant success which has attend
ed the measure since it went into effect
has caused these foul epithets to recoil
upon the heads Of their authors.
To show the simplicity of the system,
and the vigilance and care with which it
is administered, the New York Evening
Post says, that since it went into effect in
that city, there has not, as we are authen-
tically informed, been single instance Of
the government being defraudcd by a
forged draft, or false or irregular papers,
notwithstanding this is the paying office
for the greater portion of the United
States. Upwards of eighty millions of
dollars has passed through the hands Of
its officers. .....t.-...t... .,.a.
In connection with this, and to show
that the wings dare not openly advocate
the repeal Of this wholesome measure,
we clip the following from the Washing
ton correspondent of the Boston Courier,
one of the rankest federal sheets in the
country. In giving review or sketch
ofthe wing party for the last ten years, he
says Sand thus the wings are left with
every old issue fairly out from under
them, except only the principle of Protee-
tion. A running fire is kept up on the
Sub-Treasury, to be sure. But Nth some
mod fcations this must stand. VINO WILL
ADVOCATE NEW UNITED STATES BANK?
Who odvocate another string of pet Banks?
No body. What follows? The SUB
TREASURY WITH NOTIFICATIONS WILL
REMAIN IN OPERATION
What change has few short years
wrought among the wings in relation
to this measure. In 1910 it was repre-
scented as ''great hydra-headed monster
"a great political machine, that would
rob the people of their liberties, and grind
them to the DUST But now they are
willing to let it stand with fen moiif-
cations"

Democratic State Convention.

In accordance with the call Of the State
Central Committee, which we publish to-
day, the Democracy Of Iowa will assemble
in this city on the lst Of June next, the
most interesting period in the coming con-
.test-that at the opening Of the Presiden-
tial campaign, and which allows of the
lapse Of just sufficient time to hear the re-
suit Of the Democratic National Conven-
ton. The time set by the committee, then,
is one in relation to which every true and
ardent democrat may say, like one of old,
sit is good for me to be here" Our OPP
ponents have also called their convention,
which is to meet some three weeks before
the time indicated above for the assembl-
ing together Of the Democracy. Again
they are setting out in the campaign
according to their own cowardly, but now
well understood system of warfare-under
false colors and behind masked battery.
Let the democracy come up to the con-
vention in their strength, and we will
give the foes of equal rights at home and
acknowledged allies of a foreign enemy,
ga little more grape" than they have ever
dreamed Of in their philosophy.
Let the primary meetings, therefore, be
called at once; and let the representation be
full from erery county in The State. Let
"union, concession and harmony" prevail,
ever remembering to act-fully and with
self-sacri6cing devotion--in accordance
with that motto which comedies sserery-
thing for the cause" and we must be sue
cessful in the approaching election, by an
overwhelming majority.

..The wing Array In Mckee. ),

The federalists in general, and our CO.

will, we doubt not, be highly delighted to
learn by the following extract, translated
literally from the government organ in
Mexico, that 'sthe wing army in Mexico
are sincerely greatful to their devoted al
lies in this country. The article which
we publish below was sent to the Wash
ington Union by an officer in our army in
Mexico, who left the States good wing,
but who has been converted by the course
OF his party into a patriot and a democrat.
II the patriotic and respectable portion Of
our opponents are not .irresistibly inclin-
ed, after perusing this and similar arti-
cles, to abhor and loathe an organization
headed by acknowledged traitors, thus open

with whom we are at war, then are hui
man depravity and moral treason less re-
voting and loathsome than we had sup
posed. But here is the extract; what read

Those Abolition Tickets.

In its issue after the election, the Hawk
eye made bold charge of fraud upon the
"locofocos,'' for getting up and circulating
an abolition ticket, to the prejudice of the
wing cause in Iowa. The Hawkeye and
list party is certainly welcome to the ben
eft Of this acknowledgement, which in eff.
feet says that separate organization of
the Abolitionists would be beneficial to
the democrtic, and disastrous to the whig
causa. The Iowa Freeman, the organ of
the Abolition party in this State, thus dis
poses Of the Hawkeye's 'sforged tickets"
"Neither the Hawkeye nor Gazette need
be at all troubled about those abolition
votes" They were not forged by any
wing or democrat, or any other person;
but gotten up in accordance with the wish
of liberty party men, who have no inten-
ton of ever voting for wing or democratic
candidates; but who claim the right to
print and circulate tickets, and to vote for
men whose principles they approve
Although our whig party" friends
may have lost their ability-if, indeed,
they ever possessed it---of comprehend
ing why principle should have any
thing to do in casting vote, still we sup
pose the above explanation cannot be 9TH
erwise than satisfactory to them. Those
whiglings in this section of the State who
charged us with the paternity of these
tickets, will learn from this how easily
they may be mistaken who judge others
| by their own false and corrupt hearts.

We now regard Gen. Taylor's nomina-
