THE SUB-TREASURY IS NOT DEAD—
ITS FATHERS ARE NURSING IT IN
SECRET.
Ther is one more important fact to which we
earnestly invite public attention. The Loco
Focos known the unpopularity of the Sub-Trea
sury scheme( they know that it has prostrated
them wherever they have made it a test before
the people, and it is now their conventional
policy, by ever artifice to keep it out of public
view, and to make their issue upon any other
and every other subject they can bring up, ra
llier than this. To divert public attention from
this illomented star, they attack Federalism,
the banks, the moneyed power, Nick Biddle,
the Navy, Gov. Ritner, anti masonry
Bond, and rvery thing else upon which
diatribe can be brought to bear. They laud the
President's manners, they speak complaisantly
il ex-Secretary Dickerson, they discuss the
boundary question, they squint at Mexico,
they talk about elections, they whitewash each
other, and-they get down to Mr. Dun
can, and puli' his speech!
Mark the fact, throughout this excursive ran
ge, not one word is said about the Sub-Trea
sury. Yet the declaration has been made by
the official, that upon the ultimate success of
this measure depends the fate of the Adminis
tration, that they sink er swim with it. This
is true to latter. It is again to be pressed u
pon Congress with all the force of the party,
and if possible, to be fastened upon the coun
try.
Mark another fact. It was not until after
Congress had again and again defeated this
measure, and left assurance upon the public
mind.That it could never become a part ol the
policy of the Government, that this incubus
ceased to paralyze ^the recources of the whole
country.
After Congress adjourned, our long suffering
land began to wear ils wonted smile, and brigh
ter and brighter has it grown to the present
hour. But let not the sanguine hope, that the
future is all rich with promise, lull us into a
fake serunty. "Ihe snake is scotched not
killed. I he elections that are yet to take
place, are to decide whether tlvs prolific nions
1er with its long train of evils shall again sink
devoted country to the depths of deeper suffer
ing and ruin, or by its total extinction, wc shall
, Mr.
i their
go on prospering until joy and peace and plen
ty shall cover the whole land, and our high de.
stiny be reached under the vigilant watch and
will of the people. —Madisonian.
We observe that the old loco foco cry of del-.
truction to the banks has been revived in Penn
sylvania. This certainly a return that mad
ness on the part of the Van Buren party, which
it was thought the party had recovered from by
the experience of the last fifteen months. But
it seems that nothing will satisfy them. Just
as the prospect of the future begins to brighten;
just, as our mechanics and working men are
looking forward with high anticipations to more
employment and better wages founded upon the
supposed abandonment of hostility on the part
of government to the banks, the war-cry has
again been raised, and the same violehce which
has heretofore marked the character of the
leaders of the Van Buren party is again return
ing with three-fold force.
It now becomes the duty of the whigs to ral
ly in support of their glorious cause. It now
becomes the duty of the well-meaning portion
of the supporters of Van Burn to pause and
ask themselves whether they are willing again
to engage in a crusade that has been so fruteful
of distress, poverty and idleness; whether they
wish to stop the wheels of honest industry and
drive the industrious of their fellow-citizens
to other places to seek a livelihood* We trust
that their sober judgement and good sense will
triumph over party attachments, and that they
will go forward at the coming election with a
sincere determination to deposite their ballots
againt a party
performed
.
Of the 444 clerks employed in the public
offices at Washington, a large majority are
opposed to the present administration; Albany
Argus,
We arc pleased to hear this. The heads of
the administration will soon also be "opposed
ffie present administration,
honest people will get their own again.—

ATTRIBUTE OF UNCLE SAM.
Who, m the whole country, is most deeply
' in debt? Uncle Sam. Who in the whole
which has promised so much,
so little; which has deceived
thousands of its original supporters, and driven
them into the ranks of their former opponents,
who have proved themselves to be the only well
wishers of their country's prosperity.—Balt.
