Mr, Boutwkll says himself that he protested against the Order of President Grant selling tbe gold, and yet credit is claimed fbr hia •‘busting the gold ring," The President played his part at the instigation of a How York merchant. If the Secretary was la sympathy with the “gold ring,” mey we not infer that the interests of the President and hia New York merchant friend were ou the other side, so that the Cabinet werd divided In Interest, a part with the Bulla and a part with the Bears, And then we have the extraordinary spectacle of the subordinate dissenting from the orders of hia superior. Was It respectful end courteous lu the Secretary to publicly proclaim that he Issued an order of the President against bis will? Heretofore it has been usual when the President and a .member of the Cabinet differed, as In the case under oonalderatlon, the latter would resign; but Mr. Boutwkll holds on to his place pertinaciously, and satiafles himself by publicly announcing that he obeys the desires of the President against

hia will.

ited

great-

e conven—that old

national party of national banks, national tariff* and national internal improvements—had brought out the eloquent and gallant Henry Clay aa the standardbearer ol their party banner. The grand old Democratic party, which had so effectively administered the allaira of our Government through the most of Us successful history, had nominated James K. Polk, a plain and good ex-Uovcruor of Tennessee, whom they wished to make President. Of course, political feeling was up, and party spirit fn many instances was as bitter as crab-apples. Tbe bfificera of onr State were all Democmllo, and, (f I remember rightly, the reg>r4aenlaUon in Congress yvas pretty much of tbe same school, though tbe legislature on Joint ballot bad’ about seven of a

majority.

The great difficulty with the Whigs was to find out who James K. Polk was. The modern terms of copperhead, butternut, traitor and scallawag had not then obtained any political expression, or no

doubt one or all of tb«* • ’ been applle^ nIm li htr

out tq «moke him out of hts bole. <>b sours and unknown os Polk was, he gave

great liar y of the West a hard ebase, 1 ‘ eat bun lu tbe lost great race of hia lu ibis city the disapiHiintn.eiu to

many was a great one, for there were Hleti living here quite a number who expected olHce and emulutoeip If Mr. Clay bad been elected, and who, after his de-

thade known, went with their

beads bowed down like bulrushes for many months. But then it was not Mr. CUy who was defeated; It was the platform of s beak ariatotracy; and of a tariff mfonopoly, which the people were opposed to and voted against, and tbe great Commoner of Kentucky had to go down with them. I remember conversing with Gov- _ era or Whltoooro one* on the character, genius, eloquence atul clalma of Henry Clay, when the < Joyernor remarked: *‘In the pure geniiiH of our tugboat American S O (nence, I think Mr. Clay deserves to f*nk the first. In fact,*’ said he, •* he is the only tfue model of oilr own national Sloqaence, fif bfi Is off-hand, impulsive, Independent auu patriotic, and as a man and orator, and as an eminent statesman and fearless patriot, merited even all ot the honors of -tbe Presidency. These things t say of him,” added the Governor, "although 1 did not rote-for Jahn, and I eould not consistently,, because he bad unwisely broken away from tbe interenta and beet walfiara Of our common people, and given tbe weight of his great abilities to lb* support.of the Natiomd jia»h, and the' more aristocratic tyranny of our wicked American tariff system.” Mr. Clay.Apd' Governor Whitcomb, hh well as his dlnUngwiehed competitor. Governor Samuel Bigger, are all long since gone froArds to the mysterious uourue. But they were men—all men of worth, and

tton, views and doctrines upon which it

was proposed that the Republican part?

should carry the Slate, of Obib. As that

was the opening speech of the campaign

in Ohio, I propose somewhat to notice what he said upon that occasion, and tQ_

review some of his (tositlons of fact, law and right. In that speech there ia much that I can not answer. There is mn<4) that I would nu« answer if I could. Il

could not answer that part which the judgment ol the country would pro-

nounce scurrilous, were it not for the re-

spectability of the author. I will call your attention to one or two expressions he uses with regard to the Democracy of

the country. He says, “You can not

take a decayed, effete and corrupt-Demo-cratic organifiitloh, find ibake out of It a new, pairiotic and honest party.” I would not return In kind a reply to (hat. First, It is not iu my heart, u> do sox and, secondly, because 1 have too much respect even for the Republican barty to use such language.

It is a question in which yon are Interested quite as much as tbe Democracy. I appeal td you because you made the pledge as a party. In the great National Convention yon assured tbe phople that it should tie retained to tbe states, each for Itself, to decide whether the negro, or any other class, should be

THK VOTK or OHIO ON NKORO BUrPRAOE. ‘.But again, it Is only two years since Ohio took a vote upon this question

Mr. Hendricks In Obln. We publish this morning a full report of the able speech of Mr. Hkndrickb, delivered at Zanesville, Ohio, on Wednesday laat, revised by himself, in which he reviews, In hie forcible,eloquent and convincing style, the great political Isauei before tbe country. A portion of Mr. Hendricks’ effort is In reply to the Wilmington speech of Senator Morton, opening the campaign In Ohio, and he quotes the Senator against himself with telling effect. It Is needless for us to •commend a speech of Senator Hendricks to the people of Indians, for such Is the confidence In his Integrity and ability, •even among those who differ with him politically, that all hts efforts command

•attention.

<tt0iwormor Hemnaa rpea the Pablte Debt and Extravagance. On Thursday last Governor Hoffman, of New York, addressed the Ulster CoucAy Agricultural Fair, and, among (other topics, he discussed the national debt question, the Immense resources of the country, the obligations of the Governqient and the people, the extravaManoe of the day, and suggested that the way to pay the debt was by retrenchment •and economy In the public expenditures, the increase of Individual earnings, end the diminishing of individual expendlturee. The views of the Governor are wminently practical upon these points, and, aa they are tersely expressed, we •quote In foil from his remarks upon the points we have referred to; rsa national dust. Oareonatry, notwithiundinc the treat debt which reeti upon it, can not fail te trow rich and protperoat, if our people will be toonomi«al.

young man settled in the little town of Liberty, in Union county, this .State, where be put out his law shingle to comnete at the bar with such men os Oliver H. Smith, James Kariden, Judge Perry, Charles Test, Caleb B. Smith and Samuel W. Parker. Several of these, like himself, were then fresh at the bar, aud it was yet doubtful wbat any of them would make. Mr. Bigger was not a great while In Liberty until he took a partner for life In the person of widow Williamson, to whom he doubtleen owed much of hia after years’ high character and success in

life.

A few years subsequent to his marriage Mr. Bigger moved to Rushville, in Rush county, where he soon became well known as a man of tine legal abilities, and was called to the honorable positions of legislator and jndge. Judge Bigger was never very tenacious about bis dress but being a finely built aud large man he alwavs made a dignified figure,no matter where he went. He was elected Governor In 1810, having been selected fir the candidaey very unexpectedly on bis perLfor he had come to tbe Whig convention not even dreaming of being a candidate 1 any office, lie came up to the capital i horse back from Kusbville, about forty miles distant, and on bis arrival was met by a number of his old friends, who told him they Intended nominating him for Governor, He was covered with dirt and mud and looked more like a candidate to drive hogs than to lead tbe gallant hosts of novel cider Whigs in the grand log cabin campaign they were about to make. A lew considerate friends | took him off to a clothing establishment and had bitn well rigged from top to toe, and when they brought him back to tbe hotel the crowd to w hich be was.lntroduced declared be was the lined looking man in the .State. He was nominated and elected, and made a good Governor, notwithstanding “Professor Blmpeon,” of tbe Methodist Church, accused him of being partial to the Presbyterians, which, no doubt, had its influence In his defeat in 1813. Governor Bigger was a very solid lawyer, and an able jurist, and possessed ahilitiea more appropriate for tbe bench than the har or the gubernatorial chair. Had he lived, he doubtless would have filled some judicial office with more distinction than any he

ever held.

AUSTIN W. MORRIS.

In closing this brief scrap of the lm-

party, ftntl ah earnest seeker for its offices a iMibb-'V 1 ' my of duty of a public man ,» ih.; bo has no right to '...vr language qt disrespect and opprobrium to Krtntleuieh who differ from him in opinion. I shall Indulge In no such language this afternoon, and in my opinion no man w ho occupies a high and reaponsibla position, conferred upon him by the people as Governor Morton, has a right, ror can he w ell afford to i>e tho calumniator of one-half ot the p-ople of this country. The eanmnaioim of conti-dence-whlch ho- made lu that apeedh in the honesty of the masses of the Democratic party of Ohio, was a poor compliment when taken in connection with tbe insinuation that they were too atupid and too^servile for independent thought

NEB BO SU FFRASB*—BET ROeFXr-TrVK. The Governor approached, in the

course of hia speech, the fifteenth amendment, He aaW So the people of Ohio that they Should ratify tost Sintdldment; but that ii wa> not iinpuitant in the result. Sew, as I lie G, (vecupr has expressed to Ihe mail of Gtiic tb* opifiiuii in trie yeaI80U, that they should ratify the fifteenth amendment, I propose to show you wbat views he held Hjiou tbat subject before his party occupied its present position. In the speecU he m ide at Richmond, iu the State of Indiana, while he was Governor of that Stale, ou the UPtii day of September, four jam ago—juat four years ago this mouth—he usee {his language in regard to this question, He was discussing Mr. Sumner's proposition, that in the Southern States u large body ot the wblif p*af)|S should heewefoded from the bsllot, ntid ft sbotlld Me Conferred upon the negroes. Upon that queetion, (lie Governor uses this language: "The first effect yrill be to erect colored State gevernments. In every Slate where tbwe is a colored Slate government, a negro for Governor, and a negro for Supieme Judge, while etaigra. tlon -will oeaeSi There will be ao more white emigration to any such Ntate. You will absolutelv shut it off and effectually from the Northern States—and from Kurope, too—whenever that event shall happen. Thus they will remain permanent colored States at the South. The white men who are now there would remove, and would not remain under such dominion.” He asks: Is it desirable to have colored State govern men te? I say it ia not, for .nauy reasons. One reason ia that such STutes would continually constitute a balance of power. However clearly slid strongly we admit the natural rights of the negro, I submit to the Intelligent people that colored State governments are not desirable; tbat they would bring about results that are not t?’ be hoped for,and finally, I believe, would

bring about a war of TaeeBi’’ , • •• In regard to tbe personal fitness and

qualifications of the negro to be a voter and a political power in this country,

Governor Morton uses thia language: "As I said before, only one lu live hun-

dred could read ; many of them, until tbe last few mouths, were never off tbe plantation, and moat of them never out of the county In which they lived and were born, except as they were driven by the slave-drivers, Can you conceive that a body of men, while or black; who have been in this condition, and their ancestors before them, are qualified to be immediately elevated from their present state Into the full exercise of political power, not only to govern themselves and neighbors, but to take part hi the government of tbe United States? Can they be regarded as intelligent and independent voters! The mere statement of the fact

furnishes the answer to tbe question."

t Tbe gentleman wfio expressed these

ear, ^ j* re gard to the

>te upon this question, and

~I think that the Vole was very large against negro suffrage. Aud when that vote was cast, and the judgment of the people thus expressed, I want to know what right Senators of Ohio, what right Representatives from Ohio, bad to vote to fasten negro suffrage upon the people? Have we come to tbat state and condition In our affairs that the Repri Mutative la above the people? Is Senator Wade and Senator ^berman above all the men of Ohio? la it possible that you are going to recognize the doctrine that when the people have expressed their views u|K>n a great and ’important question, their representatives have the right to disregard that judgment? W’ben you come to -that position, gentlemen, yoii are ready to nprnot our institutions,’for they stand upon the idea tbat all just powers of government are derived from the people, and tbat the will of the people is tbe supreme law to the representative and to the

officer.

THE DUTY OF OHIO. There Is another argument addressed to you, proud men of Ohio, unon this question. You sra told that it is not important bow tffiio shall vote, because there are enough States committed on the subject wllhorft you. In the tin*t place that is not so. TheV are Very doubtful what Is yet to be tbe result, khd are exceedingly anxious to carry Ohio for the amendment. You know California has Just eVpreased adslnst It. Hut wbat sort of argument tCihls to be add reseed to you? Under the Coustllntlbh H to to be 'submitted to Ohio through tbe legislature whether the amendment shall be ratified or rejected. What ia your Judgment upon it? If you are for it let Ohio say so. If Ohio, in conscience and judgment, U against It, ft becomes the duty of Ohio to aay ao. [Applause.] When you go to the ballot-box to caat your vote, do you allow meu to say to you: * It is not important how you vote; the majority are going to elect their men; ao you bad Detter come over to our side.

not to think, or feel, or care upon this or anv Other question, because some other states have decided Ibis way or that

way?

But Governor Morton tells the men of Ohio tbat there are three States secure— that Virginia, Mississippi and Texas have decided to ratify; but anyhow they are compelled to support the amendment before they are to be allowed representation in Congress, under the late reconstruction act. You know they have had a good many oondiMona under which these States are to be admitted to representation, and last spring they added one. and that condition was tbat these three Slates—Virginia, Mississippi and Texas— should not be admitted unless they first ratify the constitutional amendment. Iff other words, it is said to a State of the Uoioh, you shall not be admitted to representation—tbat representation tbat you are entitled to under tbe Constitution of the United States—unlees you first ratify thia amendment. Why, the Constitution contemplates tho free judgment of each .State. Tbe Constitution, in providing for the amendment of itself, never contemplated that States should be coerced or forced into an amendment, but tbat each Ntate of tbe great family should vote upon Its own judgment, free and unbiased. But now they say- to these States, yon must vote to ratify, or else you shall not have representation in Congress. I donot know, gentlemen, what these three .state? wilj do, but this mnch I hope, that if either of these States, in judgmeut, is opposed to tbe antendiuect, that such State will express her judgment, and then let the question stand squarely before the Congress uf tbe United States, [Applauae.] Let the question stand squarely before tbe people, whether a State is to be excluded from representation simply liecause she will not amend the Constitution of the United Slates according to the demands of a political party.

I have something now to say to you upon financial questions, aud especially to notice wbat Governor Morton Bas felt it to be bis duty to say to the men of Ohio at the opening of the canvass. The Governor, lit bfs speech, Bays that the first and second reeolntions ol your platform, taken toge.her, mean repudiation— naked repndfetiot!. If justice be done, and the right prevails, (here is no danger of repudiation in this conntry. The Ilemocracy of Ohio, in their platform, have no* iuttmateo »uch a thing. In the first resolution JM* say you demand that the Federal latnds siiotfld fo» taxed, and if they sre not taxed you Wsbv no appropriations to pay the interest cat them. You say in that resolution that tfiff bond in tbe pocket of the holder should be taxed, and that If it la not to be taxed you do not want to be taxed to pay the Interest. Thai Is substantially what you say in the first redo tut ton. Now I ask you If It la repudiation for the Government to tax its own bonds? Governor Morton was Governor of IndlatM for a number ot years, and for all that time InI diana taxed her own bonds that were issued to pay a debt alie owed, and which bore a much lees intsrsst than the bonds of the United StatWt. Vet every year every man was taxed iu tbs Ntate of Indiana that held Indiana bonds. If it be repudiation in tbe United Htates lo tax her Ifonda, ia it not repudiation for a State government to tax her own bonds? Yet in all Governor Morton's administration he maintained tbat law, and it was executed under him. So I take it that there is no repudiation in tbe first

resolution.

Is there repudiation in tbe second resolution? That resolution declares that the claim for the payment in gold, of lionds that are by law payable in currency, will force upon the people the question of repudiation—not that If tbe bonds are to be gpaid according to tbe contract you are in favor of repudiation. It is not so stated in the platform. Bat iftbe bondholder claims that he shall be paid In gold bonds tbat are by law and contract payable In other currency, then, tbat will force upon the people the question of repudiation. In other words, yon say If repudiation is to be avoided, the beat way to avoid it ia to stand by tbe contract. Weil, gentlemen, repudiation would be

Tensions of 1814,1 desire to make some lonorable mention of one of the besthearted men this city ever produced. Of course I refer to Austin W. Morris, who was the son of Morris Morris, one of the first settlers of the place. There were many '-ositlons ol usefulness and honor In ana about the Capital, In which Austin W. Morris had proved himself a man of honor as well as an ever kind ard genial gentleman. But I have only space no say of him that as one of the organizers of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons,aud (belong and faitbfnl services he rendered to that institution should lead the brethren of tbat fraternity never to forget him. His heart was that of a true Mason, aud he gave bis life to the inatitution because it was one of truth and honor and bnmanity.

voters everywhere in the Union. But, In .a more soJetBtti and important

paper than tbat from which 1 have read, Governor Morton aubgiiquentlyexpressed hia views. In a message • delivered by him as Governor of tbe State of Indiana, in the fail of 18U5, ho uses this language:

"The subject of suffrage is by tbe Na-

tional Cooaiitution expressly ieferred to ibv determination of tue several States, and it can not be taken away from them without a violation of tbe (Jonstltutioa of the letter and spirit of that inatru-

ment.”

As Governor, in a message, be said, "you can not take from a Suite the control of the question of suffrage, without violating the letter and spirit of the Constitution of the United plates.” And now he says to the people 'of Ohio, you should ratify the fifteenth amendment. In the message, he wen t on to say, "It is a fact so .nasi feat that it efteatU not be called in question by any, tbat a people who are just emerging from tbe barbarism of slavery are uos qualified to become a part or our political system, and to take part in the government of themselves and their neighbors, but of the whole of the United States.

THE PRETENDED RATIFICATION BY IN-

DIANA.

The Governor aaid to the people of Ohio tbat Indiana haa ratified the amendment. Indiana has done no such thing. The constitution of the State of Indiana requires two-thirds of the members to be present to constitute a quorum. It is plain language, and haa not been misunderstood in the State of Indiana since the day she was admitted, in 18IU, until tbe present year. When tbe vote was taken In the House of Repreaentativesnpon the amendment, there was not a quorum present, but much below a quorum, and arrtbey could not do any act as a branch of the'Legislature. A majority of, perhaps all, those present voted for the amendment, but they were lacking quite a number to make a quorum. Now, I understand that Governor Morton claims that to bo a ratification, and that tbe Secretary of State haa certified tbe action of the Legislature to the Secretary of r'tate atWasnington. I understand that Governor Baker would not certify: whether he would not certify because that it was none of his business to certify, or liecause, in his own expressive language, be regarded it as corrupt and indecent, I would not undertake to aay. But the Governor would not, at least, he did not, certify the action of the Legislature. They claim that the certificate of the Secretary of State la sufficient to nresent the question to the Secretary of State at Washington. I do not know what the Heeceiarv of State at Washington may do. T iflfend, ao far as I am individually concerned, to see to it that some gentleman in Congress shall he fully poeted in regard to the great Indiana constRntlonal fraud, and I think of no one that will more faithfully represent Indiana, under the circumstancee, upon this question, than the able Senator from the State of Ohio, Judge Thurman, and I intend that be shall be fortified. [Applause.] THE XEANINO OF THE FIFTEENTH AMEND-

MENT.

Wbat is this fifteenth amendment? Tbe first section provides tbat tbe right of citizens of the United State* to vote shall uot be "denied or abridged because ot race, color or previous condition of servitute." And the second section provides that Congress shall have full power to pass all laws necessary to carry this Into foil effect. Wbat is the effect of it? It is to take awav from each State of this Union the control and regulation of a question that la important to her as an independent member of the confederacy. If It had been proposed to change the Constitution and lawn so aa to give Congress control over tbe right to vote for officers ofthe_United States, such as President,

u the Vice President, and members of Congress,

But wfl have not been allowed to bear of that sympathy with her, except as it may be whispered from Cabinet councils and Cabinet meetings.

tion.

OOVERNOR MORTON’S OLARINO INCONSISTENCIES. But when Governor Morton talks about repudiation, let us see exactly what ground be himself occupies; and I will bring him to thestand upon this question of paying tbe live-twenty bonds in greenbacks. I recollect two years ago Governor Morton took offense at tbe platform of the Detnocracy of Ohio. He came to Columbus and made a speech, and in that speech he declared that the doctrine that a portion of the bonds were payable In greenbacks was repudiation. To use bis expression,- he said it waa "tbe black cloud of repudiation, charged with tbe livid lightning of national dishonor." Now, what do you suppose he has said since that time upon this question? On the llth day of March lost there was pending in the Henate the bill entitled "An Act to Htrengthen tbo Public Credit,” ami R provided that all the obligations of the United .States should be paid in gold and silver, unlesa the law authorizing their issue provided for their payment in the lawful money of the United States or 'otherwise. You see the point of that law was, that all the obligations of the Government should be paid in gold and silver, unless the law anthorizing the issue provided for their payment in greenbacks. While that bill was ponding, which finally passed, Senator Thurm*u offered this amendment, "Provided that nothing herein contained

u.only the bill

of the Government' in gold and silver. His ameudmeut was that it should uot apply to the five-tweuly bonds, about sixteen hundred millions of the public debt. There were twelve votes for tbat amendment, and one of them was Governor Morton’s. [Cries of “Bully for Morton."] In the course of tbe discussion Governor Morton said: "To determine by law as to the question what debts should be paid in legal tender notes, we must look to the acts of Congress creating these notes. The act of February 25, 1862, created the first 9130.000,001), and it contains this provision: ‘That such note* herein authorized shall be receivable In payment for taxes, internal duties, excise debts and demands of every kind due the United Htates, except duties on importe, and ot all demands and claims against the United .States.’" He saya right there when he read that far. "Language can not be broader than that." Now, he goes on to read from tbe law. "of every kind except for interest on bonds and notes which shall be paid in coin, and sbgll also be lawful money and a legal tender In payment of all debts, public or private, wiihiu the United States, except on imports and interest as aforesaid. Governor Morton was there in the Henate of the United States, reading from tbe law authorizing tbe issuing of greenbacks to prove tbat they were good paymentofthe five-twratv bond*. He goes ou to say these “notes were made by law applicable to every claim and ev-

ery demand

It is most extravagant in its provisions, aud moet oppressive to the masses of tho people. It taxes one class of industry iu the country for tbe purpose of fostering and pr Reeling another class. I think we must havo a tariff. A portion of our revenue can well enough be collected by tbe tariff; but tbe tariff that taxes goods imported Into this country from abroad, ought to be levied with a view fo revenue and not protection. As I said, we are collecting tar more by the tariff than Is sufficient to pay tbe interest on tbe national debt, and gold is accumulating lithe Treasury, and that for the purpoee of furnishing this peculiar protection to special interests, ami I am not in favor of such legislation. You are willing to pay takes sufficient to meet the expenses of the Government administered economically, but I do not think the West ought to be expected to pay great taxes in tbe interest of manufactur-

ing and other pursuits.

One of tbe greatest writers of mqdern times in the history of civilization in England has said of tariff protection, that it is "bounties to raise up a losing

THE NEW YORK STORE.

HOW THE DEBT IS BEINO PAID OK. But they claim they are paying oft’ the National debt. Do you know bow tbat is done? They made* a tariff so high, in order te protect peculiar interests, in order to raise the prices of goods upon the country, that the mannfauiurera of these goods might make great profits. They raised the tariff so high that it brought into tbe Treasury more gold and sliver than was required to pay the interest on the bonds, i»ur tariff haa been bringing into the National Treasury gold and silver from 9170,000,000 to 9100.000,000 a year, and it only requires about 9l40,000 to pay tbe interest on tbe public debt. Kn that the gold has keen Accumulating In tbe National Treasury, and when Bout well came into office, I suppose there had thus accumulated over 9100,000,061*. Now what la done? He sold the gold lie toad on band, and then with tbe greenbacks buys In five-twenty bunds at tbeir market priee—about one hundred and twenty dollars for every one hundred dollars of bonds. And that is wbat bas been going on, and that is tbe way they are paying off the National debt—paying twenty dollars in addition to what Governor Morton

savs le the contract.

In the spreeb from which I have read, Governor Morton compliments the Administration for paying off the debt. One hundred and twenty dollars is paid for everyone hundred ilollara, sosirdiiig Governor Morton’s construction of the contract, and that, too. out of the proceeds ot gold that had accumulated when they came Into office. And if you can see any great credit iu that, it is more than I can comprehend. Every thousand dollar bond that is paid oti costs the Government In greenbacks about one thousand two hundred dollars. Governor Morton says the contract was one thousand dollars in greenbacks for one thousand dollars in five-twenty bonds. Are you going to offer up praise to (he Administration for that? To pay off the National debt in that way, at the present difference between gold and paper, will cost tbe people of this country nearly four hundred millions more than Governor Morton said in the Senate waa the contract between tbe bondholder* and tbe government.

THE NATIONAL BANKS.

In the speech to which I have referred, Governor Morton makes a defense of the national banking system, and aa tbat was tbe speech which oper ed the campaign. It ie to be regarded as d< claringthe views of the party in tbisState. Gan T ,,u "ce “ov advantage to tho people In the national banking vvateui? Governor Morion says llHinu'-rata want to break down tbe present system and reestablish the Htata banking system. He says tbat without hndiug il iu the plat’ form, or declared by any of the candidate* an far as I know. The Democrats say this: That if the Government of the United Htates must furnish a currency, why not iseue it directly from the Treasury, as waa doue during tbe war, instead >f Interposing tbe banking system between her and the people. It is done in this way: If a man wan‘a to establish a national bank, he goes to Washington and deposits an amount of bonds and then receives aa many bank bills os tbat deposit will allow, and brings those bank bills out andjcircolates them as money,the bonds of the United Htstes standing as security for there redemption. In other words, the Government is security for the banks. Now, if the Government is to be security for the hanks, why not allow the Government to isaueour Treasury notes at once? The treasury notes are as good iu the pockets of the people, or areas safe as the bank notes are when they rest for their ty on the bonds of the rtovernment. What would be the effect of tbat, gentlemen? The Government of the United .States is to-day paying interest on over 9300,000,000 of her bonds which are deposited as security for tbese bank bills. If that system be abandoned, and tbe direct treasury note system be adopter, you will save, by lifting tpese bonds and discharging them, tbo interest that is paid upon them, as declared in (lie platform of tbe Ohio Democracy. Applause. I am not going to discuss the question of taxation of banks iu Ohio. It would make no difference if tbe banks transacted and carried on their business by treasury notes direct, instead of these bank notes that are secured by bonds. In that event they would pay, no doubt, as much tax. The National Banks may suit, if you please, but let them deal not lu paper secured by the Government bonds, but iu paper issued by the Government direct. Let them become banks of deposit and bsnks of exchange, instead of banks of issue, and they would pay as much tax into the national and State Treasury as tbe present system provides for, and, at tbe same time, save a

[Applauae.] Gentlemen, I have addressed you at greater length than I intended. I hope to near well from Ohio this fall. As * great State, the Judgment of her people now pronounced will have s moet potential influence with the men that are misgoverning this country. You may preach the Constitution to them, yon may preach equal rights to them, you msy plead and beg for equal and just taxation, but until you let them know tbat you hsve determined to take from them the control of the power of this country, they will not heed you. But if Ohio and Pennsylvania, mighty central Staten, shall, at the October election, declare themselves in favor of reform, in favor ef men that are for justice to tbe masses of tbe people; that are for safety fb capital, and justice to the lalmring masses; when they find that tbese great htates have spoken in tones not to be misunderstood, I believe that once again they will bow in obedience and respect to the public will. [Applause.] Otherwise, I hsve no hope of reform. Put men in Congress that will make laws just as they should be; and put Into power, in State and General Government, men who sympathise with tbe right, and sympathise with the people, snd have no special ends to subserve, no favorites to build up, but have the commou good of tbe people at heart, and then you will see prosperity and happiness in this country, it should be.

Wo have yet heard of no candidate proposed for tiie office of Secretary of State. General K. C.

It was not tbe "thrift that follows fawning,” but real merit, that raised him lo the rank he occupied when hostilities ceased—for during the war he was a firm and consistent Democrat. A personal acquaintance with General Kise, dating hack to school-laiy days, justifies us in recommending him to ihe Democracy of Fhlton county and tbe State at large.
