party by its opposition to the invcsti
gation ol the State Treasury. 4
To avoid the perils which this must
create, MS well M the danger to the
continued existence OF this party by It's
defiance Of the public will the State
Treasurer will resort TO that strategy
which military commanders adopt TO
deceive, mislead, or surprise their an.
tagonists. Strategy is often the sub.
stitute for strength, the power of mum.
bcrs, or the ability longer to contend.
That strategy from tho State Treas
urer in so vital n contest for himself
and his party has boon expected by
every reasonable man who has observed
the history thus far of the effort TO in.
vcstigatc the Treasury Of Pennsylvania.
Indeed, II has been bintcd that when
the proper time comes "coup dddf'
may be looked for by which the great
abilities for management Of Mr.. Mackey
are to be displayed. In view, there
fore, of such sudden effort TO throw
off the odium which now attaches TO
the Radical party by reason of its
denial 10 the representative of the
people the right and opportunity to
ascertain the condition Of so important
q department Of the State government
us that which receives and pays out
the peoples money, it is proper that
preparation should be made In advance
TO meet IT, lfH
This is now our purpose. Let il be
always remembered that the House
of Representatives of our State Legis-
ature Is the only power under the
State Constitution III which IS vested
the right to impcacb, and also originate
taxation. These ARE sovereign powers,
the highest functions Of n government
of the people representing that con
stituency where alone the sovereign
power is inherent, and is only conferred
on thcrepresentatiyes Of this sovereign
ty for the protection Of the people
themselves. $500
The representatives Of the people,
the House OF Assembly, originated the
investigation into the State Treasury.
1t was in obedience TO the public will
as expressed without objection, except
by the State Treasurer and n few ofl
his noli,;caI marty No oL;oct;on has
ever been heard from any portion Of
