JAMES K. POLK, Speaker of the House of Representatives. RH. M. JOHNSON, President of the Senate. ArrROvro, October 12th, 1837. M. VAN BUREN. THE TRIED "EXPEDIENT." The-subtreas:iiy system is not an untried expedient. Its principles have been tested by the General Government, and by one of the States, and found by both to be so defective, as to incite It !nrtatwnaih! v nocMtiri'ln Abandon it. . , j Under the administration ot General Washington, the principle was adopted of allowing the public moneys, a. they were collected, to remain in the hands ot the individual collectors, and to be by them deposited in banks of their individual credit. Daring this period, many and large defalcations took placo among the officers of Government. The Collector of the city of New York, a revolutionary officer of high and irreproachable character, became a defaulter to a large amount, not by fraudulently appropriating tbo government money to his own use, but by a mistaken feeling of indulgence toother, who borrowed it. The same result took place with the collector at Boston; and so fatally did this system work to the prejudice of the Government, and the ruin of individual character, that by an order from the head of the Treasury, the principle was changed and the puiutc money wne orouicu w to deposited in the banks to tho credit of the Government to bo subject to the drafts of the Treasurer. Thus was the measure tried by the Govracnt and thus did it fill, and was abandoned. In the state of Virginia the system was tried and most signally did it fail. Two of the most Uatlnmiiatind frpiit IriTwn of that State were in B . rw e ml CI.-.-succession appomieu ireasureraw mo jinc,aUu . mtJLl e ki,, revenue, thev both to defauitors to large amounts, and the . . . wquel was as tragical as tne event was mimnr . , ni,nnri..nd the menstire. and orderUI W y ed the public money to bo deposited in the banks to the credit of the State, where it has always been safe, and where the trust has been performed with scrupulous fidelity, to tho entire satisfaction of the Commonwealth. AH this is a practical commentary upon the Sub-Treasury scheme, now so pertinaciously urged upon the country, wbich ht aot to bc regarded tfce lem is demoralising; the ' . , i nc iruin is, temptations are iliw - - r r - i too manv and too strong for tho frailties of man, ... i i ii .1 j : and we snouiu oeaamonisncu uy me oivme principle which teaches us to ask, "lead us not into tAntntaliatl The more we reflect upon this subject, and the more we learn, tho more confirmed are we in the soundness of our opposition to it. Madisonian. CASE OF DEATH BY QUACKERY. TIIOMrSJlWAMSJt. A young man 19 years of age, recently died in . CT . . . .t t a jvuii - j - -- T j New York, under circumstances that have produc ed a powenui sensation in uie cny. i nc juunwiists speak of it as a case of Death, by Quackery, and the Thompsontans are denounced by them in the most unmerciful terms. The facts elicited before the jury, were as follow; E. D. French, brother of the deceased, deposed that his brother, who was 19 years old, and a imrkM in a r rammer school of Columbia Col lege, complained on the Wednesday before his death, of a slight indisposition, which be ascribed to cold. Witness advised him to consult a physician, but he chee to put himself under the care of Dr. Fmst. On Saturday witness called to see him, and found him so ill that be requested Dr. Davis to visit him, who did so, and pronounced him in a dangerous condition. On Saturday witness called again, and found hi. brother undergoing the Erocessof steaming. On Monday called again, r. Frost said the patient was doing well. On Tuesday witness called in Dr. Cheeseman, who said that the patient was past the aid of medicine ; and the same day he died. Deceased had a gsod constitution, and had never been seriously ill before. George S. Roleston, an assistant in the infirmary, deposed that when deceased came in Dr. Frost ordered a tea-spoonful of Lobelia (tincture) to b riven every hour. Deceased was steamed on Friday and Saturday. His disease was typhus FmmT. a courM oi ueauneai in tne innrmsrv consisted of a vapor bath, then a dose, then a steaming, and then injection ot loDeiia. a team0f.i X modeeine was riven everv fifteen mtwmmmmm npautes. The tea, or composition employed, cooswtedor bay-oerry,popiar,sumac,cioves, ringer, golden seed or locuma. and cayenne. Witoess bad practised on the Thompionian system before be went into the infirmarv, but he never studied medicine. On Tuesday before he died, the deceased bled profusely at the nose. The lancet is never used in the infirapuy. Three persons have died at the afirmary within the last five months. The tincture of lobelia consisted of equal parts of the seed and pod immeised ia alcohol. - Margaret Kay, a nurse employed at the infirmary, deposed that she gave deceased a teacup fall of composition or ta, every little while. She iBsas nr,aw hum wv rui9. as aw en nwanasjfsjpifssnjnfj ajar Jo helia, and on Monday night some thidkenedhsailk. She has practised the system four Tears.

IX the i jrv. the death of the 4 aa ais j j r deceased was occasioned by a general congestion of the internal organ?, a complete prostration of iatration of deleterious mcdecine, while in the infirmary under the direction of Richard K. r rost." D Fr wt surrendered himself, and was held to bail fjr S"M- I,e ,s a yung m:in ana tne Journal of Commerce says that two or three years - WW W ' A I ag he was an apprenuce to iir. rye learning mo trade of locksmith. We trust that this death will lead to an inves ticrationof the wholo subject, and to adequate rcmiJical measures. Th omsonianism, properly uuderstood and practiced, may, tor aught we know to the contrary, be as salutary and life saving a system of medicine as any other extant. The difficulty is, that so many pretenders so many mere charlatans attempt to piactice under it, without either the slightest acquaintance of botanv. cbemistrv, or any other principle of med icine whatever. How can such men, having no f n:tholocrv or anatomy, be supposed

capable ot administering rcmeuie. ior me u- - ,-,r' ses of the human frame? As well might a lighten the citizens by the corruscation of my m-shipwri-Tht, with no knowledge of tho law, at- J tellect, upon the subject of democracy. I had, as ?empt "o practices an attorney, or a baker to! you may well suppose, formed , the mos extra Ba

mako boots. Thomsonianism in tho hands ot scientific men, may be, and we doubt not is, a salutary system; but in tbo hands of the ignorant and unprincipled mere idlers and vagabonds, too indolent to work for an honest livelihood, it is indeed, a dreadful engine of imposition and death. Bicknell. Imitating their betteks. There is a report of certain proceedings before the Mayor, given in Tuesday's Express, which shows that the gentlemen of color in Cincinnati, have been imitating their white brethren in the administration of summary justice. They tried Mr. Joseph Kite, one of their own color, upon sundry charges, and without hearing him, passed sentence of lynching. An attempt was made to execute this sentence, which resulted in apprehending the supposed lynchers. Owing to some mistake, one only of the party was brought up, and he was recognized to answer. Tho Express gives a musical account of the testimony, from which we make this extract. Cin.Gaz. "Do week before last, at the Moral Reform Society, which I'se a member of, a revolution were offered by Mr. Owen B. Nicku, and seconded by Richard 1$.

It is a Iit:!c curious to enquire how, within less than a year, a little year, this extraordinary rrult hfn brourht about. There was, according to the rcpart of the Secretary of the Treasury, made to Congress last month, a sum of $$,970,197 in thc Treasury cn the 1st of January last over and above tho sum of 37,48S,839 surplus, which was ordered to bc deposited in four separate instalments with the States. Of this last sum 8,387214, constituting thc fourth instalment, has not been, and is not now to be deposited, so that adding that to the balance on hand on the 1st of Janury, we have 16,037,351, against thc current year's expenses without looking at all to the current revenue. But the actual receipts for the first six months of this year have been 13,187,1S2, and tho lowest estimate for the last six months, after allowing for thc postpouemcnt of the merchants bonds i!l next vcar,is 14,500,000; making an aggregate of about' thirty-three millions and a half of dollars. for the resources of an economical, reforming and ministration of one year! a v i - of the most lavish year of Mr. Adams administration, which so much star HIV - - i tbe nervel and patriotism of those who now ( - - a,n,l Kv tha nine millions of thc rclt-uu . - fourth instalment, which, according to law and contract should have been deposited with the glates will fall more than a million ! short of thc expenditures? Yet such is the fact. The Treasury Report, already referred to, makes the expenditures of the first half year 10,733,884, and estimates those of the remaining half at 16,000,000. But to this estimate are .L l.fiO0.O00 iust voted for the FloriIIS p - 7 da war and 500,000 for thc present session of . t 11 . 1 I . A .

This for the military expenditure, alone of the country for on o year, in a period of general peace save only the contemptible contest in a corner of our territory, with some 1200 savages!
