Van Buren's Sub-Treas-
urV.

The Journal of Commerce, (not professed-
ly partizan paper, though it has sometimes
been accused of IAN awful squirting towards
LOcofocoisn,) speaking recently of the opera
ton of Martin Van Buren's Sub-treasury,
says:
"In spite Of all that can be done to draw out
the specie, i. comes in too fast, and still accu-
mulates.-The receipts from duties the past
ten days, amount TO 1886, 900, and the pay
ments on Treasury drafts to S724 ,25O, leaving
the specie on hand, last Saturday night, So
100000. We cannot wonder that the Banks
should curtail their discounts; money will be
scarce and stocks fall while this Unsuitable mon
ster continues to gorge its nav with the pre-
cious metals. Some people say that this action
of the Sub-Treasury is the great blessing
which it was meant to confer upon the coun-
try. BY being itself manageable, it becomes
a great regulator. The Sub-Treasury and the
Mexican war make mischief in the money
market that frightens the Banks and the mer-
chants, and makes them curtail their business,
or conduct it with great caution, ard that saves
us all from bankruptcy and ruin. So it does !;
and so does rainy day save man from get
ting wet, because it makes him carry an UNI
brella, or perhaps stay at home"
Owing to the emptiness of the Treasury,
for some time past, the evil effects of the Sub
treasury system have not been felt, hitherto,as
they are at length beginning to be. The New
York Express says it is now the curse to the
country that every sensible merchant predict
ed it would be-
What comment it is, on those two great
measures, brought into effect by the election Of
James K. Polk,-Mr. Walkers Tariff and
Mr.. Van Buren's Sub-treasury,-that the one
can only succeed by the aid of famine in
Europe, and that the other is intoerable ex-
cept when the Treasury is empty -

MAIL RoBBERY.-Several weeks since. NJ
S Darrow, Esq merchant of this town, ha7-
ing occasion to send seven hundred dollars to
tho Farmers Bank, Troy, n. Y, to meet
note soon to fall due, deposited parcel con-
tanning that amount of bank bills in the Post
Office in this village directed to Troy, New
York
The money not reaching its destination and
a protest Of tie note following IS a matter Of
course, the conclusion va, inevitable tha: the
money had been distracted from the mail -
Notice of this robbery was forwarded TO the
Department in Washington, and Govern
ment Agent promptly came to ferret out the
affair. This gentlemen, j. HolbroOk, Esq,
reputed to be man of rare tact and shrewd-
ness in affairs Of the kind and who had had
more than dozen years Of experience besides,
has been actively engaged for several weeks
past IN probing this mysterious matter TO the
bottom. Every Post Master between St. Al
bans and Troy has been examined and with
out any prospect of finding the missing mon
ey.
But. strange to say-Monday's mail brought
a package directed St. Abans," on the
wrapper; and within the envelop, an. Dar-
row, Merchant, ST. Adams, VT"
The address was printed with pen in We
ry odd but legible style; but there was 10
Posimark to identify the Post Office from
which 1t was sent. But what was more to the
purpose, it contained bank bills, very differ
emf in their denominations from those in the
parcel forwarded by Mr.. barrow, but of the
full amount the loss
Mr.: Holbrook's shrewdncss will, of course,
be called into requisition once more to ascer-
tain i0ho steals SO 'ceH and prints so badly In
the mean time, it is source of consolation
much greater than Van Burenism can afford,
to know that one of our most industrious
merchants has not been more than a men'q!
sufferer by this mysterious robbery of the
mail.
MORAL. E5y Never send money by the
mail EXCEPT TO PRINTERS for they are TOO
poor ever to be robbed !-S. Adams usssen-

Organization.

If there is anything that throws a shadow of
uncertainty over the result of the approaching
election in this District and Stateit is the want
of thorough and systematic organization.--
Every town in this county has now its Town
Committee-will not these committees see that
every school district, in their respective towns,
has also an energetic and spirited committee
who will take hold of the work to be done,
with a right hearty goodwill Give us such
committees in every town and school district.
We had them in 1910, and they did noble and
effective service. We must have them now.
Our opponents are active-the men who la
bored for the election ofPolk, and who secured
the Annexation of Texas, are now striving
zealously under the false cry of "Free Soil"
TO get the power into their hands in this State,
and to remain in possession of that National
power, which they have so long abused. To
defeat them, we must be vigilant-we must,
we repeat. have a thorough and systematic or
ganizdtion. No time is to be lost. In less
than FIVE WEEKS, the whole question will
be irrevocably settled, and the day for eff
cient action is already come Let US move in this
matter AT ONCE.

DEAR SIR A letter from Gen. TAYLOR
of the 9th ultimo, authorizes me, in my discre-
ton, to call, for publication, for copy of his
letter of the 29th of June, to Messrs. PITTs
and others, committee of the late Independ-
ent party of our State. This l now do, and
you will oblige me by furnishing it. The fail
ure heretofore to give the letter to the public,
because of a request to that effect from the
General himself, unexplained by his motive
for making it. has, with some. given rise to sus-
picions that it contained matter derogatory to
his frankness and integrity.
These Ideem it due to him to have dispel-
led, and l know no mode so certain to accom-
plish it as giving the letter itself.
Your absence from The city, when receiv-
ed the Generals letter, and my own subsequent
absence, has prevented my communicating with
you before.
