The following„tgerdlent article is .wortly the at.. ientiee perusaA of Olifjellaii : , 1 THE SUB-TREASURE PASSE& • The Government have et length - overcome- ffie peoplq the filub.Treasuty bill has paned. Six tittiel, directly and indirectly,tave the people beaten down the project; the seventh time, a majority in lion greas was found base enough to place the Purse am] the Sword in the bonds of the Executive, giving to him a power not possessed by any of the Sovereigns of Europe—a power hostile. in every respect, to the genius and institutions of the country. We feel, as every freeman ought •to feel, gloomy and de ' spenditig at this, mate of things, forcibly reminding us of the last bears of the Roman. Republic. Sortie, who have not given the subject a proper considera tion:seem to think that, inasmuch as there is no money_ in the Treasury beyond the wants of Uo. vernnient, no injury can arise from the passage 'of this law. Even the amount required fur the public expenses, passing daily' through the bands of Sub. Treasuters, the officers of the'President and nut of the people, will crests great embarrassments. Hold ing the notes of all the Hanks, they may demand specie fa, them—or at least their position neceAsii city makes the Banks subservient to the Bub-Trea surers, as the means of protection; consequently, the indirect control over all the Banks arises froin the passage of this law. Here is en immense influ ence taken from the people and given to the Exe cutive. Besides, a portion of the revenue is to be col'ected this year in specie, to be increased the next. and the next, gradually. wit the whole rave. nue is collected in specie, and their labour goes down, enterprise goes down, credit goes down, and the Banks all go down. No power can prevent this result unless the people change their rulers, and repeal the law. Another frightful consequence arises from the passage of this Sub• Treasury: you cannot persuade the radical portion of the Presi• dent's party, that this money is no; their own. They.already think it sir; they aro rejoicing, firing cannon, and sending up rockets, under the convic tion that they are to have the use of it: the Exe cutive has got it, and thriibgh him they expect to get it. It has • been driven through Congress prior to the Presidential election, and they o ill consider the public money at their disposal to electioneer with and purchase votes openly, without even the , cover or appearance of doubt or hesitairev. How much our country wants a man like Oliver Cromwell, why had the power and the will to dis- solve a corrupt Parliament. What next they may give the President may be easily imagined—any thing he may have the courage to ask; if there is time enuugh, they may pass the standing army bill, and thus consummire the treason ibis union of the purse and the. sword. There is yet w balm in Gil ead." If the people are true to themselves and to their institutions, they will change their rulers*if they fail in this the gcoernment will be changed; it passes in effect to a monsreby--money is power, and with money in the bands of unscrupulous men, any change can be effected. Thereis no disguis ing the result. At this time, gloomy, ruined and bankrupted, all the prosperity and enterprise of the country gone—at this time, the people almost in despair. Congress passes - the Sub-Treasury, and by that act puts chains upon the people. It is folly to think that it can woik well—it is a measure that can work nothing but ill—it fetters nub any and en terprize, and makes every thing subservient to the government—it is literally , what has been frequently said of it. a serardian tetween the Government and Cie People.—Nsah. az? We copy the following art ale from the Bal timore Pilot, edited 17 Duff Green: MR. VAN BIIREN AND THE CATHOLICS. The brightest page On the history of our State, is that which records that she was the first to declare "religious tuleration." We are nut Catholics, but our pride in claiming for Maryland that she was the first of the American States to declare that all men are free to worship God according to their own consciences, is not diminished, !hers we admit that to the Roman Cu. tholics belongs that honor. It was. therefore. with surprise, that 'we read in the 'Catholic Herald of January 9th, 1834, the following extract from the Catholic Miscellany, edited by the Rt. Res. Bishop England. It was written on the occasion of the appointment of Judge Gaston, of North Carolina, and had no other reference to the illustration of a fact, as bearing on the history of the persecution of the Catholics—of that people who oere the first to set the example of religions toleration. Although the eminent divine who' penned the paragraph, had no political purpose in v ev, we do not hesitate to call the attention of our Catholic readers to the Act. and ask them to remember it when they give their vote for President. The extract speaks for itself. Eziract from the Catholic Miscellany *originally, the majmity of the States adopted constitutional clauses excluding Cauaolics hem places of trust or profit, but their good sense led to the repeal. It is no.v a long time since Mr. Van Buren, at the commencement of his political Career, sought - to exclude Francis Cooper, the first Catholic selected by the citizens of New York to their legis lature, from his seat. becinise Mr. Cooper refused to take oaths incompatible with his conactentiess con viction ; fur New York then had a Test (lath as a qualification for office, but the legislature of that state, in the cause of Cooper, left the present Vice President in a very slender minority. and the offices of thrildete as well as the seats in her assembly have since thenAeen open to Cathodes. We rejoice to see that N. Carolina has been disenthralled by her. legislature. Netersey stands _alone. Yet per. haps upon examinationher provision will also be found a mere ben/em fislur. Perhaps Catholics are eligible to office in New Jersey , notwithstanding the disposition of the compilers of the constitution to exclude them."
