In view of the glorious results to the Whig cause that are pouring in upon us from all quarters, we would direct the attention of the Sub-Treasury men generally, and of the President in particular, to the following passage from the letter of Mr. Van Buren to Sherrod Williams. In the press of present disasters, they will read it with unusual interest:

"The supremacy of the popular will is the foundation of our government. If we allow it to be prostrated, either by corruption or fraud, the republican principle which gives life and character to our system, will be broken down. It is only by rigidly and manfully upholding that supremacy on all occasions, that we can hope to resist the efforts of a spirit which is inherent in all societies; which has never ceased to maintain a powerful foothold in these States, and which is ever at work to subvert those features of our system which place the political rights of the people upon equal footing."
