There is nothing wonderful in this perplexity it is the result of a federal edu cation in youth and keeping bad company ever since A few training in the school of principle would have cut the Gordian knot but then if all had been thus taught no euct thing as the federrd Advertiser would have sprung into existence to slander its native state and bring it into disrepute with every state in the Union If the feileral organ wishes to 1 be enlightened on this question let him give the constitution of our country a careful perusal re flecting that the democratic party consider the provisions of the constitution as iron palings immovably fixed in the rock of justice and equa lity upon the landmarks indicated by the im mortal declaration of American independence and containing a given number of powers which none can increase or diminish while' federal ism considers that sacred instrument as nn elas tic cord that may be drawn out indefinitely and inclose any object that a venal power seek ing federal Congress may wish within its circle The great mass of the people "of our country prefer the iron fence and the solid foundation to the elastic band upheld and swayed by aristo cratic hands and often making in the language of the federal organ teroclitic This is the secret of democratic success let the whigs profit by it as much as their nature will allow i Michigan City This is the name of a new piper published at Michigan City Indi ana Itsappearance is respectable but its pol itics one grand mistake rid ts future usefulness to the country may be estimated by the follow ing remarks respecting the sub treasury bill 5 In the getting up of this bill it is plaip to be seen that the aggrandizement of a few was the intention and thit they might thereby se cure 10 themselves more power than they had been bef re possessed JtSiW I a great deal of bank power which might have been re tained and increased power niore than ten times as great as could be secured by the ad dition of fifteen or twenty officers to the treasu ry deparment To give up the influence that might have been held over thousands of bank ers eager to grasp the deposites to be loaned out to thousands more while the only influence remaining to be exerted is confined to less than half a score is atrernenduous way to to themselves more power than they had before been possessed It is like the dog in the fable dropping the to grasp the sha dow Tue people have been toQ well informed upon this subject to bo humbugged into the sup port of federalism by any such stale false and miserable assertionsas this from the new paper most evidently is The experience of the past year proves that the guards of tho sub treasury plan for safe keeping of the public funds should and must bo idopted tTIip people will again

always have a chance to rob the nation' of its millions The' whigs' vice pre ident has done much to convince 'the doubtful that the securities and penalties of 'the sub treasury system mut be adopted The change in the city of York from whig to democratic and the change in Connecticut of more than six thousand in favor of the national administration show the reason for indulging such anticipations! of permanent good to our Country that may be obtained by union and ac tion in spite of federal opposition 4 ft Comparisons If the whigs wish tocompare the policy of the state administration with that of tbeir own friends in other states let them take New York and see whether lhe contrast will be in their favor In that state there has been a change from the policy pursued by their predecessors but in Connecticut the state cho sen by our city organ of federalism for the com parison the federalists have allowed' the: state policy to remain unchanged so that whatever are the beneficial results the credit is difo to th 1 democrats by whom the policy was estab lished The democratic republicans of the lately adjourned'fNew York legislature inform us what are the characteristics of ad ministration as far as their policy has been de veloped in that state If Projects of extravagant expenditure a less multiplication of riffices profusion and prod ieaLty in the disbursement rf the public funds and
