AN INDEPENDENT TREASURY FOR
OHIO---THE PRESS AED THE PEG
PIE SPEAKING.

Twenty years ago the National D emoc-
racy declared their independence of all
Banks and bankers rs collectors, keepers,
or disbursers of the public monies, by
the establishment of the Independent
Tre5nry." The measure was opposed
by <rne whole force of the opposition,
| DANTEE. WEBSTER, and JOHN NJ. CLAY
TON. It was favored by Mr.. VAN BU-
Rem Is President, and its champions in
the Senate were SILAs WRIGHT, JAMES
BUCHANAN, JOHN G. CALHOUN and Old
Tom BENTON. Calamities dire were pre-
dicted would befaIl the country if the
measure was adopted. The ghost of the
old United States Bank and other hob
gobiins of the Bank Rag dynasty were
invoked during the one hundred days
this measure was pending, to create a
panic throughout the country and scare
the Democracy from their position, but
all TO no purpose. The Rag Barons
went SO far as to get up the cry of "Gold
for the office-holders and rags for the
people" burlesquing the project with
coarse wood cuts representing Uncle Sam
riding round on his money chests, while
the people were going on foot with pic
tured paper in their hands large per
cent sbelow par For this "tinkering
with the currency" as the Fusionists
then. called it, the Democratic party
were beaten in 40, but the "Indepen-
dent Treasury with all these federal
anathemas upon it, remained undisturb.
ed. No man of the opposition dared
then nor have they dared since to bring
forward measure of repeal. TYLER's
Exchequer scheme did not touch the
vital point in the case aud fell still born,
as did every other measure of that ad-
ministration. The "Independent Treas
ury'' is now in full force, and that too
with the hearty concurrence OF nine
tenths of the American people.
What the Democracy did for the
Nation in '37 the Democracy of Ohio
now propose 10 do for this State in 81
-absolve its Treasury from all connec-
tion with pampered privileges or paper
molopolies, taking care of its own dues
and paying its own debts in the consti
tutional currency of the country. From
the following indications of the Press
which are unerring indexes to the public
opinion, We should judge there would
be unanimous voice in the next State
Convention in favor of the measure.
Since our article of Monday last (the 22d
inst) calling the attention of the people
and the party to this subject, the re-
sponses have been prompt aud universal
