THE sUBTREAsURY SCHEME.

The eighth axiom is short and general, being
upon subject which, though they could not avoid
it, they fear to handle-namely, that profound and
happy system Of carts and safes called the Subtrea-
sury under which they have been obliged to wheel
to New Orleans million upon million Of specie for
the Mexican war, while each trembling Receiver
and puzzled Postmaster through the land cursed
the clumsy contrivance, tortured himself to evade
keeping the coin in his cupboard or his closet and
forced at last, like every body else that does not
bury his money in hole in the ground, to lodge it
in his own private name in some bank-groaned
over the possible penitentiary punishment which so
many know they have incurred Who does not
laugh over the thing, except the keepers who, if the
penalties ofrhe law were put in force, will have to
weep over it What daring humbug, what paltry
faulty ever equalled this of Government which
is itself obliged to "rase the wind by great Loans
