York Herald was among the leading New
York journals to shou, for Pierce, aud for
months il was the organ of the new
purity in that city. It is Hard in the New
York subdivision, and is BY ne means mea'y
mouthed in telling truth Of the Cabinet.-
WI think there is food for reflection 10 the
following, which we clip from that paper OF
Friday. The idea Of ~disposing Of the tair-
ty millions surplus revenue, by restoring
the old Van Buren, swarr Of PlHpderers, is
capiiul. Nothing wOald accomplish the re-
suit sooner. Bat read what this Locofoco
thinks Of his brethren. II is rich:
Working ofihe.Ca5inel Spoiis Sysh'n-A
FlQl6usterfo for SAB Treasurer The latest on
Gt from Washington is that John L. o.
Sullivan, Esq. is 10 succeed Mr. Div, as
the keeper OF the New York Sub Treasury.
Mr.. O'Sullivan is a gentleman and a schOl-
ar, a clever political and literary writer;
but as a man Of business, his antecedents
would not form a very strong nda-
ton in his favor. The various PERI deal
aud newspaper enterprises with which he
has been connected from time to time, all
turned out to be sorry failures, the natural
result of a want oftact, practical business
qualifications, enterprise and industry. His
| connection, financial and political, with
the Cuban expeditions Of Lopez, ended the
same way-thai is,. in a dead loss to all
tconccrncd- notwithstanding the haul that
was made o. twenty-five thousand dollars
from the Spunish Sub-Treasury Of Garden,
as. at.
This transaction may perhaps bea feath-
CT in the cap OF Mr.. O'Sullivan with the
present Cabinet. He IS one Of the Van
Buren, party-ihe Cabinet were evidently
aiming to rc,establish this party in power
as the speediest way of disposing of the thir'
ty millions suppliesi in the treasury. Wheta'
err the tux and tariff paying people
Of the country will sustain the Cabinet IL
carrying out this policy remains to be test
ed. Whether Congress will endorse The
restoration Of the Van Buren, dynasty or no
is YETI TO be ascertained. But as the 6nan
cial principles Of Van Bureuism are doubt
less the same now that they were in 1885,
-S-9-40, the appointment Of the Cuban fill
busters as guardian Of the twelve or htteei
millions Of public money in our Sub-Treas
ury is we presume but a return to hrst prln
Ciples.
Like causes produce like effects. Thl
re-establishment in honor Of the Van Blu
) rem faction of 1886 to 1910, will be the re
establishment Of the policy Of that epocI
aud the chain of disastrous consequence
. which ensued. And what wasthis policy
: and what were these consequences! Ii wa
: the policy Of the spells system. in all il
length and breadth, to the last dollar in tn
Treasury. We look zach upon the corrup
reign OF Van Buren,, aud find that some fv
e or six mi lions Of the public money were alb
g sorbed by public defaulters-that fort
d millions were sqnandercd away in the recE
. less extravagances Of the Florida war--th
! some thirty odd millions were first divid,
D among the States, and hen swallowed Il
by the corn orants Of the party in power.
Under this Wholesale system of publ
y swindling, The pet banks were inflated, an
Speculation and stock-jobbing demoralize
the whole country. Then came the terribI
explosion of 81, followed by a deluge
i shinplasters thick as the leaves Of OctobC
& in u high wind, ald about as worthless til
whole D ogramme winding up with the ger
n eraI bankrupt law OF lS4l after the cxpu
sion o the authors oil all this mischief frol
y power in q perfect whirlwind Of pOpull
wrath.
Such is the history OF the Van Buren, r
oime when in possession of the Treasury,ap
o such were the causes which drove them on
But il the Van Buren, disorganizers are to /
restored to power, we may safely count u
on the revival oil their old financial opcri
tions-and we may make ourselves eds
concerning the thirty millions surplus
1T The Treasury, for they will make short woi
}. Of it, it W emay judge from past experience
% Oh! yes, give us Mr.. O'Sullivan for o.
SubsTrcasurcr, and let the "Ordcr Of Il
Lone Star" rejoice.
