Governor Troup’s Letter,
This letter, which we have had on file for
publication for some time, will be found in this
day’s paper. The only opinion of Gov. Troop
if contains new to us, (for we have long known
he was the advocate ot the Sub-Treasury,) is*
that the self-styled Democrats have occupied
office “to steal and plondeu” the treasury of
the country, and that he has as little confidence
in the opposition. It will be observed by the
careful reader, that the Governor charges the Van
Buren party with having committed the act,
while he only anticipates such a result from the
opposition. Therefore, we have a certainty on
iiiV -run hnnd if the testimony pf Gov. Troup is
valid, (and the selAsijled Democrats admit its
validity by heralding forth the document to the
world,) that the Treasury will he “plundered”.
while on the other band, his fears, as he asserts,
arc the result of bis want of confidence in the
opponents of Mr. Van Buren. It is then, in the
opinion of Gov. Troup, reduced to this simple
state of things: if Mr. Van Buren is re-elected,
the Treasury will be plundered, if they are to be
judged by their former acts, —and if General
Harrison is elected, his friends may do the same’
for he has no confidence in them ; or, the Van
Buren office-holders I oow will “steal and
plunder, ” and I believe the Whigs will.
From the Athens Banner.
Laurens Co., Ga. May 16, 1840.
Mi Dear Sib:— lt is a long time since I
have taken any part in President making.—
When Mr. Crawford was smitten by the hand of
Providence, I advised my f'iends at Washington
to take up Mr. Macon, lie was a plain Fanner
of Revolutionary meiit, of sound common sense,
with great knowledge of men and things, and of
sufficient political experience to administer the
Government of the U. S. He could say no,
when it was fitting, and was no dealer in ifs. It
struck me it would do well for an experiment at
least, and that if it succeeded, the people of the
United States might contract a taste for such
men, rather than for your well-trained and tho
rough-bred Politicians One thing would have
been certain—you would have bad no violations
of the Constitution or other abuses to complain
of, and the Government would have been known
and felt only in its salutary Constitutional action.
But these were so many objections to him.
If I failed in my second trial of President-ma
king, surely you would not have me at this time
of day to join in the cry of Loafers, Loco Focos,
Shinplasters, Log-cabin, Hard cider and the like
—let those who have a fancy for such things set
tle the matter among them—they who have the
least to do with it. always excepting a fraction of
the olliicc-hunters, will be the better off.
As to the use and abuse of my name in con
nexion with the same office, all I have to say is,
that if those who used it were genuine State
Rights men, they had a right to use it, and were
the only men who had—if they used it for the
office, they were wrong—if they used it because
they could not consistently vote for either of the
persons who were the only candidates for it, then
they were right, and then they were thrice wel
come to use and abuse it. I must confess the use
did give me some annoyance, but that was per
sonal, and not worth a complaint; the abuse in a
general sense, I had been used to, and therefore
could bear with it, but in the sense which excited
tour friendly indignation, it was indeed the most
signal and heartlelt gratification.
The relation in which you have stood, and the
warm feelings constantly manifested toward me,
give you a claim to my poor political opinions,
when you please to ask them, and you have them
briefly, but frankly.
What is called the Sub-treasury (if it means
the dealing by the Government in gold and silver
exclusively) I consider not only a Constitutional,
but an extremely wise and very expedient meas
ure. It ought nevpr to have been a dealer in any
thing else—at least such has been always my
opinion. I thought the Constitution required it,
and it seemed to me to be most unreasonable that
a Government which was compelled to pay all its
debt* in (fold and - silver, should at -the same time
be compelled to receive any or every kind of pa
per which might be called money in payment of
debts due to itself. You would no doubt at this
moment feel it somewhat comfortable and refresh
ing to look upon a great dealer in gold and silver,
a dealer without premium and wittiout discount,
and therefore without profit; dealing to the
amount of many millions per annum, and to the
amount of many thousands per diem, constantly
receiving and as constantly paying out—the grat
ification of the senses in such sad times, would be
something, and the chance of a dime finding its
way to your pocket, would be something more;
but if this dealer so dealt, that we soon began to
see we could command as many dimes as tvould
do for our market money, we would feel we had
derived a precious benefit by his dealing, and
that indeed a blessing had fallen upon the coun
try. If the dealer happened so to deal,as to sup
ply constantly and uniformly, a small change cir
culation, or pocket money sufficient for the every
day wants and business of life; then, indeed, a
new era would have opened, which the past had
never seen, which would be in glaring contrast
with the present, and which the future would
hail with thanks giving and praise, and the more
joyously, as what was, will be no more, and what
is, will be and must be forever, at least as long
as the dealer lasts and deals in gold and silver ex
clusively. Now if this can be accomplished by a
great dealer, it is more likely to be accomplished
by the Federal Government, than by any other
agency we know any thing about. Ist, its dealings
will be large enough. 2ndly, it will be to the same
amount or nearly so, from year to year in times
of peace, increasing gradually, perhaps in propor
tion to an increasing population, and a conse
quently increasing expenditure. Srdly, paying
and receiving equal amounts in equal times or
nearly so, the small change circulation could ne
ver be suddenly contracted or enlarged. I will
not pretend to say what the amount of small
change in circulation should be in such a coun
try; it is sufficient, if it gave you only the change
for a shin of beef, to the butcher, and a loaf of
bread to the Baker per diem. But it must neces
sarily give a groat deal more—perhaps all we
want. Stating the average revenue and expendi
ture at 20 millions, some 4 or 5 millions of spe
cie will suffice to carry on the annual operation,
the balance in the country, whether it be 40, 50,
CO or TO millions, will be left to sustain the pa
per, which, whether it amounts to 120 or 210
millions, will be quite ample for all the demands
of Trade and Commerce—perhaps quite enough
* to satisfy the cravings of the most extravagant of
the paper money-lovers. This paper will be so
much the sounder than it would otherwise be, be
cause instead of comparing paper, with paper,
as-you are now forced to do, you would compare
ver. An additional and certain effect of a mere
ly metallic currency for Governmental purposes,
would lie the check it would furnish to the ex
travagancies and aberrations of Government, an
effect not to be lightly estimated.
You perceive I am sanguine in my predictions
of the salutary consequences of this much con
demned measure of which you have a simple
statement of my opinion or belief, without the
argument. I supposed you asked no more; an
argument on a financial subject, is not worth
much; what would appear a good system on pa
per, might turn out to be a bad one in practice,
and an indifferent or objectionable one on paper,
a very good one in practice, but an argument
against a system founded on the dishonesty of
mankind, is a very false one; men must carry in
to effect systems; men must collect and men
must disburse the public revenue, and it matters
nothing whether that revenue be of gold and sil-
ver i)t pf papot .Jf indeed, the paper be good for
" nothing! that ia sufficient security against embez
zlement; if equally good, it is more easy of em
bezzlement than gold and silver. Will it matter
much if the men who collect and disburse, hap
pen to* be Whigs or Democrats'! I have pretty
much the same confidence in both ; THE ONE
SET HAVE BEEN ALREADY THERE TO
STEAL AND PLUNDER ; the other have yet
to come.
——■
From this project to dealun gold and silver, I
have never been able to how by any
r possibility, loss or detriment can ’accrue to any
3 body. Is it trfle the mass of the community is
} so corrupt, that it is willing to deal in nothing
t but bad paper, or do the politicians persuade them
they will have a bank, the extinguisher of all olh
’ cr banks, whose paper will be equal to gold and
1 silver?' Instead of loss or detriment, I have seen
f no inconvenience to result to any body, except,
B indeed, in the first instance, to the merchant, to
him it will be a novel operation for a time, but
6 for a short time; if it costs him more trouble and
a expense to be always ready to meet the Custom
; House demand, he knows how to charge that ex
pense to his customer, and my word upon it, the
consumer of bis merchandise will be the last one
a to complain, irtie sees nothing in an insignificant
s charge, but a redemption from evil suffering and
s a restoration to the comforts and enjoyments of
life, to which, in every country. the pocket and
e travelling money in gold and silver coinage so
. eminently contribute. The very fraction of a per
cent, charged by the merchant, for his trouble
’ and expense of keeping gold and silver to answer
s occasional demands, will be more than repaid by
b the direct tendency of the operation to keep that
e gold and silver at home, which might otherwise
go abroad—it will be by so much the more valu
’ able at home, and therefore cannot leave the coun-
B try. But enough—every body tires of this dry
I and hitherto unproductive subject. The Presi
,» dent should long since have compelled his party
to carry out the measure.

The Sub-Treasury.
This hill has finally passed the House of Repre
sentatives, and is no doubt, ere this, the law of the
land. Byway of showing our readers how it ope
l rates, as it has been virtually in operation for some
* time, we extract the following article and corres
-1 pondence from the Cincinnati Gazette, of 23th
r June last It is rattier a humiliating picture, it is
i, true, but as we apprehend that the people will,
f ere long, be made very familiar with such trans
e aetions, it is well enough they should be prepared
£ for them.
t THE SUB-TREASURY CURRENCY.
3 Under the above caption we noticed yesterday,
' that a ten dollar Government draft upon Judge
1 Henderson, Receiver, had been dishonored “ lor
want of funds, and_ because be was in advance to
'■ the Government already.”
* We shortly afterwards recived a note from Judge
i Henderson, complaining of the use of his name,
i denying the accuracy of the statement, and asking
an insertion of the note, “ in order that the real
truth of the case may appear.” We give the note
below, except so much of it as impugns our motive
in noticing the non payment of the draft.
! Cincinnati, June 23d, 1840.
> Gentlemen—lt is true gentlemen, that I at pre
'■ sent fill the office of Receiver, for the Government
• at this place ; and am out of funds belonging to the
■ United States. That a Treasury draft of $lO was
I' presented to me a few .lays since, when I commu
nicated to the person offering it the above impor
tant fact, (that I had no funds,) but at the same
time offering to take up the diaft by a check on
1 the Commercial Bank. This proposition not being
■ acceded to, the person withdrew taking away the
! draft. This is all which transpired. As to my
! suffering-the draft to go to protest because ‘ I was
> already in advance and had not confidence in my
. party,’ is an assumption, gentlemen, which I con
ceive the facts will not warrant jon in making,
1 as I had no desire for the draft to be proiested, and
offered my check for its redemption, I had not a 1
1 dollar about me, or I would readily have paid the
• demand; and as to my want of confidence in my
i party, as you state, it is a most egregious mistake
> in making of it, and I hare entire confidence with
| those with whom lam associated.
. Thomas Henderson.
Rec. Pub. Mon. Cin. Ohio. 1
Upon receipt of this note we inquired of our in
' formant, the person who held the dishonored draft,
> and he has sent us the following statement:
, Cincinnati, June 23, 1840.
■ I called at the office of Thomas Henderson, Esq.
on Friday last, and presented the draft alluded to
j for ten dollars, drawn by the Treasurer of the U.
States, and payable to me, as attorney for Rufus
Freemen a pensioner. Mr. H. stated that he did
’ not know why the Treasurer of the United States
• continued to draw on him—that he had no funds of
r the Government, and had not had for six m: nths,
’ of which he advised them —and that he was then in
, advance.
t When I was leaving his office, he stated that he
s had some private funds in the Commercial Bank,
ami that, as it was a small amount, he would give
me a check on that Bank. 1 asked him what kind
of funds it would be paid in, he said in current
I Bank notes. I declined to receive it. I then called
i on a Notary to protest the draft, but he advised
- me not to have it protested, as it would do no good,
and subject me to pay $2, and therefore it was not
done. H. F. Hill.

' A Revolution Effected.
In adverting to the passage of the Executive
■ Bank Charter, the Globe says :
5 “ This great measure makes a revolution in the
; Government as established by Alexander Hamil
i ton, and restores it as established by the Constitu
tion.”
The Globe for once has managed to be consisl
l ent. In 1834 it denounced the Sub-Treasury as
“ Revolutionary and disorganizing —subversive of
the entire practice of this Government, from 1789
, down to this day.” The revolution is now accom
! plished, the practice of the Government subverted,
and we suppose disorganization must come next,
t unless the Conservative principle should he effect

I Bees.—ls the flesh of ox-beef in young, it \
- will have a fine smooth open grain, be of a gooil
; red, and feel lender. The fat should look white
f rather than yellow ; for when that is of a deep
• color, the meat is seldom good. The grain of
: cow-beef is closer, and the fat whiter, than that
-of ox-beef; but the lean is not so bright a red.
- The grain.of bull beef is closer still, the fat hard
, and skinny, the lean of a deep red, and a stron
, ger scent. Ox-beef is the richest and largest;
- but to some tastes, heifer beef is better, if well
) fed. In old meet there is a straek of horn in the
