The following letter from Mr. BaEsLIS
to The editor of the Hamilton Telegraph, ap-
pears in that paper Of the faib July. It
shows conclusiyely that Mr.. Breslin has
been, anl is at this time, in favor Of an
Independent Treasury, such an one as would
entirely divorce the State from all connection
with the Banks.-Such a bill would meet
the appreciation of every good democrat.

In reference to this letter the Telegraph
says:
1--WE publish the above, at the request
of the writer, aad it will without doubt, be
read with interest in this and other counties,
where the Independent Treasury system is
a cherished object with the democracy
The resolution referred to by Mr. Breslin is
the tenth in order, OF the series passed at
the last State Convention, and it reads as
follows;
"Reao}oc9 That the separation of the
moneys Of the State from banking inStu-
tons is indispensable for the safety of the
funds and the rights ofthe people and we are
therefore in favor Of an entire divorce Of the
the State rom all connection with the bank
ing institutions as repositories OF the public
moneys"
This resolution was heartily approved
by the democracy of Butler couny, and they
confidently hoped that the Legislature, which
was in session at the Sine Of its passage
would promptly embody the substance
of it in bill AMI pass it without delay. In
this they were disappointed. The attempt
to give it practical effect was, for some rca-
son, a failHre, and as newspaper reports at
nibuted its dafeat, in measure, to the
Treasurer of State, a prejudice was awaken
ed against that gentleman in the minds Of
all who attached Importance to the success
OF the project. As this dissatisfaction was
founded upon rumor, and as Mr.. Rrcsp has,
in the above letter, declared himself to have
been, and to be, in favor of the above res
oIutioD, it must be regarded as an author
itative denial Of the rumor, and the friends
of the Independent Treasury system will find
no difficulty ingiving him ahearty support"
