K. WILSON SMITH, H. H. H()UDIN«)T.

MR. VOORHKKS AND TIIK 1'UBLIC 1IEBT.

The following is a literal report of the statement made concerning the public debt, by Hon. I). W. VOORHEES, in his speech in this city, on the 30th ult. It was taken down at the request of Mr. VOORHEKS himself, and we have it in the hand-writing of the reporter, who avouches its correctness. We have delayed its publication until now, in order to receive the official reports of Mr. BOUTWEI.L to put in contrast with his statements. Let our friends keep this as a permanent and reliable record.

Mr. VOORHEES said: ".Senator Morton says(ren. Grants administration has reduced the public debt $140,000,000. I ask you Republicans to look at this sheet entitled 'A Statement of the Public Debt of the United States, July 1st, J870,'—just thirty days ago today. It is signed 'George S. Boutwell, Secretary of the Treasury.' It was issued by Mr. Boutwell just before I started for home. In this statement of the public debt we find that the debt bearing interest in coin is placed now at $2,107,050,700. The debt which you are interested in is that which bears "interest, and not the currency of the country that bears no interest, and accommodates your wants. The public debt which bears heavily upon you is that which bears interest, and that is the portion of the debt we used to talk about. Now I ask the reporter to fake down my statements: On the 1st day of July, 1870, thirty days ago, the public debt bearing interest in coin, was $2,107,050,700. I have now the statement of the public debt made otlicially by Hugh McCulloch, Secretary of the Treasury, on the 1st day of March, I860, just as Johnson was willing out, and Grant was going in. They say, in the last year they have paid $120,000,000, of the public debt. 1 have shown you what the public debt was thirty days ago. I will now show you what it Was nearly seventeen months ago,—a year ago last March, when Johnson went out ot power, and Grant came in, and you can compare the two. How much of the interest-bearing debt lias been paid—this loan debt which weighs so heavilv on you —this loan debt which fats the bondholder,---this loan debt which taxes the peo'ple, what was it mi the 1st day of March, ISM?—S'-V ('94.14—being on the 1st day ot

July, thirty days ago, Sil5,(»"i0 sreater than it was on the 1st day ol March, when Johnson came out ol otiice. [Cheers and applause.] Those are the otlieial .statement:.,—those are I lie otlicial papers, as 1 shall answer to my. Maker. And ifany Republican, or two or three, are here who doubt my statement I will treat them with the utmost courtesy and kindness to come upon this stand, and examine these papers, and see whether 1 state this matter correctlv or not. 1 challenge, denial. You may change Irom column to column, ynd you may contract the currency that bears no interest, and call that a payment of I hi' public debt." of this extract will rcirlhy facts.

\n examination vt. 11 everal not civ 1. The lirst is that made a blunder in his quotations tires, giving the total amount of the principal of the debt Maich 1st ISfiO, instead of only the coin-interest debt, showing HO me $500,000,000 decrease, instead of Jilti.OOO increase. We give him the benefit of this blunder, to warn him that accuracy is required. 2. The second fact is, Mr. OORIIEES repudiates all obligations which do not bear interest as constituting debt. If a man takes up goods on credit, and has them charged (-m book account, be don't owe anything but if he gives his note then he is in debt. It" tlii.- were the personal ethics of Mr. his creditors would call him a scoundrel and it is just as villainous a principle in public as in private affairs. '.I. The third fact developed is, that according to Mr. NOORHKKS, the public debt is to be reckoned wholly by the number of bonds issued and

diation of the Mississippi Democracy, was honorable in comparison. •'j. Still another point in this speech, sometimes more openly asserted, is the closing insinuation that the only reduction there has been in the public debt, has been accomplished by a contraction of the currency. The answer to this is found in the following table:

But Mr. VOORHEES' remarks are throughout a tissue of false statements and insinuations,—that kind of falsehood, the meanest of all, which consists in stating half the truth, leaving out what is essential to a correct conclusion. Its complete refutation will be found in the following tables compiled directly from official documents sent us from the Treasury office, and for the accuracy of which, both in figures and conclusions, we hold ourselves accountable.

7. Another significant fact in Mr. VOORHEES'speech is his entire silence abotti the amount ol interest paid by ihe government. 11, as Mr. says, the interest bearing debt is the oppressive one, the onlv one which concerns the people, and that is increased, llieu ot course there is an increase of interest. Is this so.' On the bt of March. 18li!». the coin interest was $12-l,2.i-,:-)0 on the 1st ol July, 1870, it was $ll(i,(lii!t,(i04 a reduction of $7 285,7-Ki. We submit that this reduction is worthy of mention.

In another column we publish a letter from Mr. BOUTWELL on this same subject. The difference of figures in his letter and our tables is from the tact that our statements arc to

July 1st, anil include

Treasury balances, while Mr. I. gives actual payments to August 1.

July l. 1870 Additional bonds Bonds paid and cancelled. Leaving unpaid Decrease 4. A fourth point in the above speech is the assumption by Mr. OORII^FS at only those payments of the public dent which are made in coin require taxation, or cost the people anything. Hence he throws out all account of bonds bearing currency interest,and all obligations which bear no interest. Here is his Pendletonian squinting. It is proposed to pay all our bonds in greenbacks, and to obtain greenbacks, not by taxes, but by printing as many of them as may be necessary. In other words, these two astute statesmen who opposed the issue ol greenbacks when they were necessary to carry on the war, declared they would go forth with the brand of Cain, and be utterly worthless finding their opposition vain, and their predictions false, and consistent only in their unpatriotic purpose of destroying the credit of the government, now propose to make greenbacks worthless by issuing unlimited quantities! When we ask gentlemen of this school how the government is ever to redeem these thousands of millions of worthless paper, we are coolly told that it never is to be redeemed but left on the people's hands until it wears out, or is burned up, or otherwise lost! If ever a compound of greater folly and villainy was proposed, even by the Democratic party, we do not happen to remember it. The open repu

Who Shall Control the Next Honseof Representatives—Past, Present and Futnre of Republicanism—The Dnty of the Party -w

2'o the Republicans of the United Stales: The Executive and Legislative Departments of the National Government and two-thirds of the State Government have been committed to your keeping. Such power carries with it grave responsibilities. The people, as is their right will hold you to a strict accountability for this great trust. Elections are soon to be held for the National House of Representatives. These elections will determine the political complexion of the popular branch of Congress. They will, too, determine the political character of several States Governments. And these results will be accepted as the verdict of the people upon the ideas, principles and policies of the Republican party, and upon the measures and character of the National Administration. To these responsibilities, and to the gravity of the«e issues, your thoughtful consideration is invoked.

In the present juncture it behooves the Republican party not to forget its origin, nor its history. Amid the difficulties that beset it, and the responsibilities and labor, which the needs of the country in the new and untried condition of affairs imposes, it should remember that it was born of the nation's necessities, and thus far it has grandly met the exigencies for which it was formed. Having passed triumphantly through three great eras ol' its history, it is now summoned to enter upon its'fourth. Gathering, therefore, inspiration from past success, it should grapple hopefully and with unshrinking confidence with the duties of the presenL and near future.

Recurring to their origin, Republicans will remember, when the land was the the theatre of a stern and irrepressible contlict between the demons of slavery and caste and the spirit of liberty and equality, when the slave power held great interests and powerful organizations in its grasp and ruled the nation with imperial sway, that the founders of the party, instructed by passing events, with convictions deepened and zeal quickened by the teachings of history and of holy writ and inspired by the deathless words of the patriots, statesmen, and heroes of our earlier time, rose, to the exigencies of the hour, opposed the haughty ambitions, the maddening passions, the cruel prejudices, and the disorganizing theories of the dominating majority, and, although long overborne by numbers, still struggled on amid jeers, insults, mobs, blows, and assassinations, till under the lead of Abraham Lincoln they achieved success and grasped the sceptre of political power.

Entering upon its second era, appalling responsibilities at once rose. The slave masters, in the pride and arrogance of power, instantly plunged the nation into the fire and blood of civil war. But the Republican party rose with the crisis. It raised money in unstinted measure, organized vast armies, created powerful navies, fought bloody battles, crushed the most gigantic rebellion of all recorded history, and saved a nation's life. It was then, amid the clash of arms, that the Republican party saw that slavery was the relentless and unappeasable foe of the country was the inspiration, the heart, and soul of that civil war, and that its death would be the annihilation of the rebellion, the unity of theRepublic, and the development of free institutions. Against cowardly fears, selfish instincts, and unreasoning passions and prejudices, it pronounced the doom of .£ hideous and horrid system of human oondage, though it was upheld by the aggregated interests of three thousand millions of dollars, hedged about by the accumulated passions and prejudices, prides and ambitions of seven generations, and intrenched within the social, political and ecclesiastical organizations and affiliations ol life. By ii series of executive and legislative acts it broke the chains and lifted from the depths of chattelhood up to the summit ol manhood four and a halt millions -of hapless bondmen, and stood before the nations with their riven fetters in one hand and their title deeds to freedom in the other.

The war ended, the rebellion subdued, the bondmen emancipated, the Republican party entered upon the third era of its eventful history. Though conquered by arms, the rebels did not. accept the just, humane and generous ideas ot the victors, nor did they return to their propel* allegiance and loyalty to Ihe Government, but still bemoaning the "lost cause' tliev remained unsubdued in will and unrepentant in spirit and purpose. 1 hough made free the bondmen were homeless, without property, without employment, subject lo the cruel laws against free people of color which had aiways disgraced Southern legislation, and in the midst of a people exasperated by deleat and maddened bv their loss of power still longer to hold iiiul oppress. Property was swept mvay, industry disorganized, society disintegrated, and States were without lawful governments.

Upon the Republican party devolved the task of reconstruction. To its intrinsic difficulties wore added the intense hostility of the ex-rebels, the lingering prejudices long engendered by the slave system, the timid counsels of Conservatism, and the apostasy of the Kxecutive. Great interests and powerfu sought to -o reconstruct place the power in

combinations the South as to ands of the late

slaveholding class, and leave the helpless freedmen iu the abject condition of practical serfdom. Seldom in history has there been imposed upon any body of men a work of greater magnitude or difficulty. The Republicans might haveshrunk from and avoided it. Tliev were sorely tempted to do so. But they resisted the temptation of official power and patronage, the threats of Kxecutive dictation, and all other adverse inlluences, and with sublime fidelity and courage addressed themselves to the herculean task.

To aid in reorganizing disordered industries, caring for, protecting and instructing the emancipated bondmen in the ne\^luties of their changed condition, the Republicans established the Freedmen Bureau, which, by the wise expenditure of a few million of dollars, did an incallable work for order, peace and the rehabilitation of Southern society. To reconstruct rebellious States on the solid basis of equal rights, they gave suffrage to the freedmen in the" reconstruction measures. To secure citizenship and civil rights to a wronged and hated race, they proposed and adopted the Fourteenth

Amendment, and enacted the bill of Civil Rights. To establish by irreversible guarantees equal political rights and privileges they adopted the Fifteenth Amemiinent, and as a crowning act for freedom they provided by law for the enforcement of those amendments thus newlv enshrined within the Constitution.

Thus the Republicans, against the stern* est opposition, against misrepresentation, against appalling obstacles, have struggled on until the rebel States, reconstructed on the basis of impartial liberty, have been restored, and the sublime doctrines of the Declaration of Independence made assured and practical realities. In the progress of the ages it has been given to few, in anv form or by any modes, to achieve a work so vast, so grand, so beneficent, so sure to be recorded by history, and applauded and remembered bv coming generations.

Having1 achieved this grand wurk, hav-

Twenty- ing passed through these three eras ot its I lii'torv, the Republican party, entering

on its fourth era, was summoned to deal with questions relating to the nurinnaj debt, the currency, finances and taxation, to reforms in the military, aval, and Indian service, and whatever remaining burdens and legacies were left by the war. Concerning these questions there are apparent diversities of interests and real difference of opinion. The solution of some of them is embarrassed by grave difficulties. They require time as well as financial skill and practical statesmanship for their adjustment. Differences of opinion on matters so recondite and complex, in an organization embracing so many men ot large intelligence, trained to habits of independent thought, expression and modes of action, are inevitable. They are, indeed, to be expected and desired, for from such freedom of discussion truth is elicited, and proper modes of action are deduced. The men, therefore, who stood so, firmly while in a minority, amid the denunciations, arro gance and scorn of power the men who met the stern exigences of civil war with such heroic courage, who assailed the slave power and extirpated the slave system the men who grappled so successfully with the perplexing and pregnant issues of reconstruction, lifted helpless freedmen up to citizenship, exalted them to the heights of civil and political rights and privileges, and made the nation free in fact as well as in name, should not shrink from the less momentous and less embarrassing question now before them.

Patriotism, principle, the continued existence, reputation and renown ot the Republican party, and a due sense of selfrespect and pride of character demand that Republicans now, as in the past, should have faith in this capacity to carry forward to completion reforms so auspiciously begun. It came into being as an organization of reform and progress, and should be ever ready to accept the living issues of the hour, and march abreast with the spirit of the age, Unaided it has fought the battles of reform with constancy and courage. Nor in the work still before it can it hope for aid from those who still cling to the traditions of the past, pride themselves on their conservatism, and who during the onllicts of the past twentA years, have esisted all reform, and mourned over every effete and hateful abuse as it tell If there are Republicans who are weary of the ascendancy of a party which has achieved such crowning victories, who are tired of the responsibilities of power, and would relinquish it to other hands, they should remember that there are none worthy to accept it. For surely they cannot fail to see that the Democratic party, by its policy during the closing years of its power, and by its power and by its blind and unrelenting opposition to reformatory measures while out of power, even now, as if smitten by judicial blindness, refusing to accept the Constitutional amendments as fixed and final, has demonstrated its uttter incapacity for such a trust,

Accustomed to suocess even against tearful odds, and underrating perhaps the intrinsic difficulties of the pending issues, many Republicans, looked

Gen

eral Grant's administration with high expectations Gf course, they have been impatient, and not always satisfied with results. But while these expectations have not been fully realized in the action of either the President or of Congress, much has been achieved enough, at any rate, to satisfy them that the difficult problems will be wrought out and the hoped-for results accomplished.

Gen. Grant came into office pledged to maintain inviolate the public faith, reduce the national debt, diminish taxation, appreciate the currency, reform abuses in the civil and military service, und maintain order in the States lately in rebellion. By the combined action of the President, the Heads of Departments, Congress and the General of the army, many abuses have been corrected and many reforms inaugurated. President Grant's Indian policy is bringing forth evidence of its justice, its humanity and its wisdom. The firm, just and generous policy of the Administration toward the States lately in rebellion, has brought much of order and security, and orimes have largely diminished. In the interests of economy the service of thousands of employes, both civil and military, have been dispensed with. The currency has been appreciated in value by tens and scores of millions of dollars, and the national credit has been largely strengthened.

Without any increase in the articles subject to taxation, or in the rate of taxition, the revenues of the fiscal year ending the oOth of June. 1870 were nearfour hundred and nine millions of dollars against less than three hundred and seventy-ono millions for the year ending the 80th of June, 1809, showing a gain of nearly thirty-eight millions of dollars. On the oilier hand, the expenses of the fiscal year 1870 were less than those of 18tW by more than twenty-nine millions of dollars, thus showing an increased revenue, and saving in expenditures of more than sixty-seven millions of dollars in I lie lirst fiscal year of (ien.Grant's administration. In the last l(i months of Mr. Joiimon's administration, ihe receipts from customs and internal revenue were less than three hundred and seventytwo millions of dollars. During the tii--t Hi months of Gen. Grant's administration, they were more than lour hundred and sixty-ninemillions, showing an increase of nenrlv ninety-seven millions of dollars,

Republicans will remember that du ring the last two years of Mr. Johnson's administralion he removed Republicans I appointed by Mr. Lincoln and others who adhered to the principles of the Republican party, and appointed Democrats where he could do so. The character of these appointments and the'demorali/.ing influence which his opinions and conduct had upon them were seen in the loss of scores of millions of dollars of revenue in these years. The large gain in the collection is mainly due to the determined and avowed purpose of Gen. Grant to secure an honest administration of the revenue laws arid the appointment of Republicans to office earnestly devoted to his economical policy.

During the recent session of Congress taxes have been reduced more than $75,000,000. The taxes have been removed from transportation by canals and railways, from sales by dealers and manufacturers. The income tax has been reduced to 2\ per cent, oh all incomes above $2,000 and it is to expire at the end of two years. The tax on tea has been reduced from 25 to 15 cents per pound on coffee from 5 to 3 cents and the tax on sugar and molasses has been reduced in the aggregate$12,000,000 per annum. By this reduction of taxation the industries of the people and the necessaries of life have been relieved of burdens amounting to millions. The funding bill is an im portant financial measure, which contemplates the saving of interest upon the public debt by the exchange of outstanding six per cent, bonds for those of a lower rate of interest, to the amount of twentysix millions and a half a year. While a reduction in taxes transfers the burden of the debt from one year to another, from one generation

another, a reduction in

the rate of interest is an actual saving to the country, not only for the present generation, but for all time. And yet these important and beneficial financial measures, intended to lighten the public burdens, received little countenance and support from the Democratic party, whose responsibilities for the war, its losses, its expenditures, its debts, and its taxation, are so fearfully large.

Not faultless, but high, noble, and glorious, is the record of the Republican party. History will note it, and the world will gratefully remember it. In the light of this brief review of its achievements for patriotssm, liberty, justice, and humanity, should not Republicans, one and all. cling to their grand organization,

rectify its mistakes, correct its errors, and keep it true to its past traditions and in harmony with the enlighteued and pro* gressive spirit of the age? So doing may they not perpetuate their power until their beneficent principles shall become the accepted policy of the nation?

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Sound Logic for the Niek. The invalid has often good reasons to exclaim, "save me from my friends."' As a general thing, each of them will have a different medicine to propose, and if he follows all their prescriptions in turn, their wellmeant advice may be the death of him. The only sensible course in nny case of sickness is to resort promptly to a specific which has stood the test of a long and widely extended public experience, and obtained on solid nnd sufficient grounds the reputation of a Standard Remedy. This rank among the restoratives of our day belongs of reght, and beyond all dispute, to llostetter's Stomach Bitters. Let those who are taking it at this debilitating season as an invigorant answer for themselves as to its tonic proprieties. Can any dispcptic. who has ever.uscd-it, question its superiority as a stomacih over every other medicine? Can any person of bilious habit, who has ever taken it for liver complaint doubt its efficiency? It is believed among the tens of thousands who aro now using' or have heretofore used it as an alterative and corrective, not one can be found who would exchange it for any other preparation in the known world. l*'or intermittent fevers, nervous debility, constipation, sick stomach, and all complaints arisinc from indigestion or impoverishment of the blood, it is the only article which can be conscientiously guaranteed, and no one who is thorougoly acquainted with its virtues will allow interegted dealers in worthless slops, on which they make a larger profit, to furnish thetn in the placc of the great vegetable restorative.
