But in order to carry-on this vast scheme
” of bribery and corruption, it was necessary

to devise some plan to keeppossession of the q

money power and scatter its appliances.

. .A plan was concocted on the banks of the
St. Lawrence. That plan was the_Sub-Trea-
sury. = Mr. Van Buren had resisted the en-

7 treaties. of the New York merchants,- and
held on until the bubble burst, and lllefbanks
suspended, then the Sub-Treasury-scheine
must be forced upon the people. This plan
was advocated by democrats, “the. democra-
cy". itself advocated it. V ,

That plan had been rejected by the peo-
ple‘ more strongly than the U. S. Bank, for
it was easily understood. Three times had
it been rejected, and yet the popular will
had not been obeyed. And that was called
democratic. In England and France, where
it constitutional. monarchy prevailed, if the
"ministry are voted down on any-great ques-
tion, they resign—they are boundfto resign.
The monarch yields to the popular will, and
appoints a new ministry. This ‘was the
practice under a monarchy. How was it in

4 this country? Here the people had express-
ed, on three several occasions, their disap-
probation of this measure. and the adminis-
tration,.instead of yielding like the ministry
of England or France, to the direct and plain
manifestation of the popular will, they were
insolently told that they did not understand
the question. And when the elections had
‘gone strongly against the administration, the
people were told that they had been bribed
by the banks. And that is called democracy!
The executive has had possession of the mo-

ney power, without law, for years, and that

vision for bolts and bars, and that a Sub-

concluded, would have the power of pardon.
But what would the Sub-Treasurers care
about penal enactments .7 After they had got
money enough they would cross the Atlan-
tic, and set up their establishments in London
and Paris. Yes—-felony-—but as the Indian
said, catch him first. No doubt it will be
felony to dilapidate the public funds. But
suppose a great defaulter, like Harris of Mis-
sissippi, who had saved L a Senator in Con-
gress to the Administration, should be de-
t.-cted, would not the President pardon him .7
But there would be noneed, he would run
away.

i 11 bad boon Said by “ the democracg/," tlia_t
the Whigs had,-presented no altornative.—
The pet banlhystem had failed, and the Sub-
Treasury was the only plan, as Mr. Van
Buren had pledged himself to veto any bank
charter. It was not expected to get a bank
so long as Mr. Van Buren was in the Presi-
dential chair. But would it not be thought
rather insolent in a band of robbers who had
plundered your house and laid waste your
farm, to ask for a law sanctioning their vil-
lainyr? Would you not say. get out of my

house, and off myfarm, and [will take care _

of my property myself?

Let the plunderers, said Gen. R., hie them-
selves out of Washington, as they have out
of this house, and we will devise a plan for the
safe keeping of the public money ourselves.

The Sub-Treasury bill provides that the A

Secretary ofthe Treasury or the President
-for it is the same thing, may send out vis-
itors once or twice a year, and as much of-
tener as they please, to examine the Sub-
T-reasuries. There will be 13,000 Sub-
Treasuries in the U. States. Yes. Benton
wrill have his great Sub-Treasury at St
Louis, and Calhoun will have his at
‘Charleston. The collectors from the Bay of
Passamaquaddy to -the borders of Texas,
will be Sub-Treasurers. By this -bill the
President can send out an army of election-
eercrs, who will receive just as much pay
as the President pleases to allow them !—

the people, would have made him’ a great
public benefactor. But they have been
grossly perverted. . _ ,
With the unlimited control of the public
money, and all the public lands to throw in-
to this great corruption" fund, what might he
not hope to accomplish? _
Havingthusshown the extent and magni-
tude of the means of corruption, said Gen.
R., and having also shown the shameless
manner in which these means had been ap-
plied, he would submit it to the committee
to say whether he had not made out his case,
that this was the most corrupt Administration
to be found in the annals of the world.

Sir, he concluded, all former exaiiiples of
profligacy sink into pigmies and mole-hills
when compared with this stupendous moun-
tain of corruption.

 

- - From the Connecticut Cozmrnt.
DIALOGUE BETWEEN A LABORER
AND AN EX,-SENATOR.
CONTINUED.

Laborer. Since our last conversation, Mr.
Senator. I have been afraid. really, that we
are going to have rather too much of a good
thing. _

Senator. How so neighbor .7

L. Why, you proved to me that it was a
good thing to have the priceof "labor reduc-
ed-—that is, you told me the leaders of the
party said, and that they are always right.
Now, the price of labor is so much reduced,
that I cannot get work even enough to earn
my bread; and its just so with agreat many
other folks in our town. Now is’nt this too
much of a good thing .7

S. Oh those changes always come a little
hard at first—biit there’s this about it, they
don’t work well for the Whigs. Have you
read Mr. Calhoiiri’s speech .7-he proves ve-
ry clearly how the thing will work.

L. -Yes, I have. is this the saine Mr.
Calhoun who abused Gen. Jackson so much,
and who was called the Catalina of the Son-
ate .7

S. Yes—I rather think he is the same. I
did’nt go to the‘ Sinit till after that time, and
may be mistaken about it——but Irather guess
it's the same man. _

L. How happens it that he now belongs
to our party .7 Is he any better than he used
to be.

S. No, I suppose not—but still we could’nt
well do without him, end so we took him as
he is. But what do you think of his speech .7

L. Can you tell me if this Mr. Calhoun
is the same who studied law at Litchficld
with Judge Reeve .7

S. I don’t know much about that. For
myself, I never had much had much taste for
the law—did’nt like to study it. and you know
it is necessary ; for our folks don’t think much
of law. But to answer your question-—_I
think I have heard that Calhoun did, in his
younger days, study law at Litchfield.

L. Then he must be the same man about
whom I have heard the story—

S. What story, neighbor.7_ _

L. Why, Judge Reeve said one day, if he
wanted to prove that pumpkins grew on ap-
ple trees, that young Calhoun could do it.

S. Yes——yes-he was always a smart fel-
low.

L. Pretty much like my smart horse,that’s
broke his harness, and my sleigh and wagon.
and that’s got so bad a name that nobody
won’t have him. He won’t go any way but
his own way. '

8! But how did you like his speech .7

L. IVhy. he said, did he not, that the Sub-
Treasury would enable those who own mati-
ufactories at the North, to sell their goods so
cheap in the foreign market as to bring them
in competition with those made abroad .7
S. Yes, and so it will.

L. But how can this be done. unless labor
is also reduced to the same condition and
price as it is in Europe .7

S. Well, suppose it is——will it not be just
as well .7—for then you will get your pay in
hard money. '

L. It don’t make much difference to me
whether the money is hard or soft, if I don’t
get any. I never have been able to see the
difference between a hard dollar and a bill
which I could change for a hard dollar.

S. This cry against a reduction in the
price of labor is all a Whig measure, intend-
ed merelyto deceive our friends—it will work
well I assure you. .

L. I find, Mr. Senator, that in the hard
money countries of Europe the price of labor
averages about l0cents a day, without board ;
and do you really think that would be as well
for us here, as the dollar, or dollar and a half
which we used to receive .7 ‘

S. Why not: why is not 10 cents as good
as ten dollars .7

L. Why then are there so many poor in

FIRST SESSION

'l'riuitsoAv, Feb. 27.
The discussion of Mr. Buchanan's resolu-

diency of enlarging the specie basis of_ the
country. Mr. Calhoun spoke in opposition
:0 its provisions, on the ground that it would
engraft on the Constitution the banking sys-
tem of the States, which he considered as
the greatest calamity which could happen to
the country. He would, however, vote for
it, if Mr. Buchanan would enlarge the reso-
lution.so as to bestow on Congress the gen-
eral regulation of the currency. '_
Mr. Preston also opposed the resolution,
on the ground of its inefficiency, as its aim
was at a specific power to interfere with the
rights of the States, not the establishment of
a general principle.

Messrs. Henderson of Miss. and Grundy
of Tenn. spoke in warm approbationof the
resolution.

Mr. Calhoun, in replying to the latter
ggntleman, took occasion to say, that he was
not opposed to Banks. This remark was to
a supposed allusion to him by Mr. Grundy
as an advocate of an exclusive metallic cur-
reiicy.

wish was concurred in by Messrs. Clay of
Ala. and Davis of Mass. Mr. Preston with-
drew his opposition, and the resolution of in-
quiry was passed.

The ordrr ofthe day was the report a-
gainst the Assumpiion of State Debts. Mr.
Strange of N. C. spoke at length in favor of
it; and Mr. Henderson of Miss. followed In
opposition. -

In the House, Mr. Adams made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to introduce the report of the.
Special Committee on the Smithsonian be-
quest. The consideration of the resolution

be an ca: post fncto law. He said that like
any other law, it would go into operation af-
ter its passage, and explained that it was
not intended to aflect injuriously those bank-
rupts who had given the preference to their
endorsers in making an assignment oftheir
effects.

The report of the memorial of the Steam
Navigation Company, asking for adebenture
on coal which they import for the use of their
outward bound vessels, was taken up and, af-

condenmed the work, together with the plan,
