But now comes the s'tug of war;" The

demanding his removal at the hands Of

in no measured terms, will the President

In every other avocation of life that when
rogues fall out honest men get their
dues" The Soatd, Of Richmond Va, a
leading Buchanan journal, claiming to
speak the sentiments of the party, South,
in view of the present proceeding of Gov.
Walker, in Kansas, thus piteously ex-
claims " If the constitution about to be
formed be submitted to the people of that
territory, what has the South gained by
by the repeal of the Missouri compro-
mise 2"
That question, of itself, indirectly re-
futes the assertion at the head Of this
article for whoever heard that the De-
mocracy, when the interest of the South
demanded it, ever faltered sor fell back ?
Ever true to their natural instincts, the
party that crushes out public speech in
the halls of Congres-backs up the decis-
eision of sectional court which asserts
that the colored man has no rights which
the white man are bound to respect-that
party will never be the party to give free
dom to Kansas, when tue interest Of their
southern allies say, Nay.

ever be cursed by the slave holder, or

The Independent Treasury.

We see BY our exchanges that the Dem
ocratic Journals of the State, in view of
the late pillage of the Treasury, are rails
ing the old war-cry, and coming out as
one man in favor of the Sub Treasury. .
AS far as we are concerned, it is our opin-
ion, Judging from the use that has been
made of the public monies for the last six
years, that we have not only had an in
dependent treasury, but Independent treas
strers.
We are not wholly convinced, that it is
for the interest of the people that there
shQuld be two kinds of money, one
for the people, and the other for the
office holders for under the operation
of the "Sub Treasury" system, the taxes
must be paid in gold and silver. The
way the people have been obliged to
" shell out " for taxes, since the new,
democratic, in the-hands- of-its friends,
Constitution went into operation, makes
it extremely onerous to tax payers to raise
the rags, ;, to say nothing of gold and
silver.
The safest way we know Of keeping the
public money, would be to make the en-
bezzlement thereof, or deficit in the
treasury, prima facie evidence of fraud,
and punishable by imprisonment in the
penitentiary and disfIannhisement and in
of holding any Office of profit
or trust under the government-to give
bonds in double the amount that in any
contingency might be placed in the treas
ary-elect as honest man as the times
may admit of, and trust. the result to
Providence-and the treasurer
Under any system, whether dependent
or Independent, the peoples monies must
be entrusted to the care of some one, and
we have yet to learn, that paying the
taxes in gold and silver, and locking the
same up in some big vault, and giving
the treasurer the key, will have tenden-
cy to make Office holders more honest, or
less liable to appropriate the public funds
to their own use, than under the present
arrangement.
