pcced Katk of Interest. Secretary Bouiwell, of the Treasury, trtte in Philadelphia at Horticultural 1111 on Saturday night in behalf of the Refublican candidates for State officers, lie sail: I have not come here to-night to meet jcafor the purpose of making a partisan tr-cech. nor merely because an election in thisfctate is pending. I know very well low Jarce the interest of the country is is what may be done here in this city and ia til is State and in another great State of the Union on Tuesday next; but as a nitre party issue I wouid have left it to the judgment of the people, without mytti interposing a word either for good or for evil. We can r.ot. however, be insensible to two great considerations involved in some degree, but they are not the principal considerations involved in the contest in which you participate. One of those considerations undoubtedly is whether an administration winch is the success: or of id administration that, as far as the voice of the people is concerned, has been tie administration for the eight preceding tears, shall now be indorsed and justified by tte voice of a great people. Applause That is a consideration to which we cannot be iuditTcrent. ni1.L GRANT'S ADMINISTRATI-N be in-niRSED.

There is anotlier consideration which hour and wheat everything that has the ka son.ewlnt of a personal character, and , quality of posperity in it, and the w orth i whether the chief magistrate of this j lees and depreciated currency nf the counre public, a man cal'ed by the exigency of j try would be kit in the hands of the lathe struggle for national existence from j boiit:g people.

Applau.-e TUE FINANCIAL QUESTON. It is not so much a question whether the public debt should be pai 1 as it is whether forty millions cf people have the eotifoieuce and sentimeut of right so imfcued in them that they will do right, even though it may be at their own peril. I doubt not that there ore differences of opinion in the country as to whether the public debt should be paid exactly in the manner contemplated by the administration, by the men whom you have intrustel witli power; but I may say here, in one "ngle sentence, which comprehends, as I niicrstatid, the entire policy of the adai.f'istration in regard to the public debt, 'tat it L. to be be paid, principal and inresi aj plau.-'1, according to the terms f 'I cuuiiaet i.u In coin, or that which eD Will receive as tic equivalent of coin.

If then, citizens of America, your credit in the markets of the world is depreciated to the extent of one per cent., as compared with the credit ofthe most favored nations upon the ulobe, that depreciation is due to a want of faith in your disposition to pay your debt, and just in proportion as you furnish the evidence of your disposition to pay your debts, just exactly in that proportion will the depreciation of your credit continue. Xow, then you come to a consideration of this quest icn here, and now, to night, for the people of Pennsylvania ar.d Ohio, and ofthe Union, whether by vour votes vou will indicate to the woild that there is no doubt of your dis- j position to pay this. debt. A prlause.J i II vou indicate a doubt, the cost of that you i;h

mil - j doubt is to be borne hy the laboring peodebt !!e of this country. 1 due say, and I

trust that there are )emocrats here to night. If there be such 1 would like to ask one or many whether he or they have finally any doubt upon tbe question as ro whether : this debt is ultimately to be paid? The . people of this country will pay their debts, The States that are the poorest aud weak- ; est. and that have iriven the most evidence ; of a position to repudiate their obliga- ; tions, shall yet finally pay their debts; but ! the eielay, the uncertainty, the doubt crea- j t - xl bv what is said, bv what is done, bv what is declared in assemblies of the peoi e. Lv the neon e themselves at the ba ot box, are the means by which the people themselves are compelled to bear an unnecessary expense. If by nn uncertain vote in Pennsylvania and Ohio on Tues day next the faith of the country or the i . - j . i f.iih of Europe is shaken in the disposi- ! tion of the people of this country to pay j their debts, tbe extent of that change will j be felt in the depreciation of your bonds, ! ,10 the tact that you are to continue lor a 1 lvll!.t;l I'OIUU VI limi, tv J-aj J.tl Ltui ! interest on your outstanding obligations instead of being able in the six months to j replace thetu at four or four and a half, j .5 . i .... i . - . ' These are the practical considerations to. be presented to practical men. If vou, Ks-;inteud to repudiate this debt then say so, and avail yourselves of the power which j vou have to get rid of interest aud princi j pal together. If you do not. intend to repudiate them, then your duty as well as ' your interest ie to declare, undoubtedly and with emphasis, that the debt is to be paid, and create confidence in the world that you are ready and willing to meet all your obligations, and with tbe advantage of a reduced rate ef interest, growing out tbe increasing confidence of mankind in you. Now, gentlemen, this is a practical ; consideiation. This is the phase of this question which I desire to present to you to night.

Here are nearly seventy millions ot iIoIImts -h?h. I siinnnsc. m i o m, . i t I 1 j r ment of most of us, is not unnecessarily as to relieve the burden of taxation f'fnru the mass ofthe people. A greater amount of the internal revenue is derived either from the luxuries of life or from' taxes on people who are able to pay', and the burden upon the laboring people of the country is, after all, very email. Lint - I must say that no system of. taxation ia desired that docs not look to a larger taxation upon luxuries or upon accumulated property, thus relieving the labor aud ordinary business of life to as large a "degree as possible. HOW THE DEBT HAS BEEN REDUCED. I desire to call ynur attention to the manner of the application of the revenues of the coutitry to the payment ofthe public debt. The public debt of the country presents itself in three forms-bonds issued by Government, payable at a time in the future, and bearing - interest, most of them at six per cent , and a small proportion of them at five per cci:t., the currency ofthe country known as greenbacks used for circulation, and issued by Government with interest; then there are outstanding fifty millions of three per cent, certificates with interest and principal, and which are payable on demand and in currency. When the Secretary of the Treasury found himself in possession of five, ten or fifteen millions of surplus funds he would appropriate it to the pay ment of one or the other ef ihese forms of indebtedness. ByiJie law of Congress he was prohibited Irom diminishing the amount of greenbacks below three hundred and fifiy-six millions. That was the amount issued when he came into the Treasury Department, and that amount has, under the law, been Continued substantialy the same. Therefore, he could not, with-' out violating the law, redeem and cancel tbe circulating medium of- the country, w hatevcr bis opinion might be. Then there are fifty millions of three per cents. held by the banks. X hey answer, to a certain extent, the office of currency. They were held closely by the banks, and would not be given up except upon some sort of pressure. The Secretary of the j a , - i . . 1 i r i- . l. - i : i , lirasurv did not avail himself of the libertv to employ this pressure, even if it wore in his power to don, but, -moreover. be felt that it was to some cxteut a departure from the law of Congress by which he was J required to allow the volume ot currency to remain as it was when he entered oftiee. therefore there sieuied only tlie course which bus beeu pursued to issue six per cent, bonds at the mirket price. And this is a statement not by way of explanation, but a statement of the reason which coutrolled the administration io the oppli cation of the surplus fund, applicable to pavment of public debt AN ARdUMENT TO THE WOU K t NCJM EX. Now, gentlemen, in leaving I wish to address a few words to the laboiing people, because I see there is a disposition to divert their attention from the real issues before the country, and to lead them to a course of action prejudicial to their own w elfare and the w elfare of the class to which thev belong.

A pari.-ien editor pestered a prominent official with offers of newspaper assistance. The minister endured it lor some time, but finally replied: "..My dear n tend, you are mistaken. 11 geese did onco save the capital, it was not with tbeir quills." What would our wives say if Ihey knew where we are?'' said the captain of schooner when they were beating about in a thick fog, fearlul of going ashore. "Humph! I shouldn't mi ud that," replied the- mate, "if we only kuew where wc were ourselves."' We all use Barrett's. They tell a story about a man out West who had a hare lip, upon which be performed an operation himself by inserting a piece of chicken tljsl). it adhered, anu tilled up the place admirably. This was all well enough until, in compliance wilh the fashion, he undertook to raise a mus tache, when oue side grew hair and the other feathers. An old French Countess, of ihe nio;t exquisite politeness, was about to breathe her hist, !w hen she received a call from .-in - . . , ..... acquaintance ignorant ot her mortai illness. The 'answer sent down from the chad her of the departing sufferer was memorably unique: ""The Countess de Iloueti scuds bet compliments to Madame de Calais, but begs' to be excused, ?he is engaged iu dying." Barrett's the leading thing. A constable pursued a thief, who took refuge on a stump iu a swamp, and pu.l vd up after him the rail on which he went out. The constable made the following returns : "Sijfhtable conversable - non-est-come-ui-ab'.e iu swampuui un siuxqiuui raiio." A friend asked a little girl: "Which do you love best, your cat oryourdoli?" The little girl thought some time beforansweriug, and then whispered in ihe ear of her questioner: ''1 love my cat best, but please dou't tell dolly." It is the best and safest rule to walk by, to be servere and rigid in judging ourselves, and to be very week aud eharitabio to our brother. Improve your looks with Barrett's. A Iloman ecclcsi istie, iu reply to whatever question might be proposed, began by saying, "I make a distinct iou."

loyal expression of ray conscience, I do not b.esittite an iustaut. With lansuao-e perverted by a couiinaud or oiutilated by reticence 1 shall not ascend the pulpit of Notre Dame. I express my regret fr ibis to tbe intelligent and courageous Archbishop who has given Lis pulpit to me and sustained me there agaiust the bad wiii of uien of whom I shall speak at the proper time. I express my regrets to the imposing-auditory who surrounded aue there with jts attendance, its sympathies I was nearly going to say its friendship. I would not be worthy of the auditory of the Archbishop, of my coescience, nor of God, if I would consent to act before them in such a role. I separate myself at tbe same time from the couvent in which I re sided, and which under the new circumstances ibat have happened to me renders it for me a prison of the "soul. In acting thus I am not unfaithful to my vows, I have piomiscd monastic of obedience, but limited by the honesty of conscience, the dignity of my person and my ruiuistry. 1 have promised under the benefit of that superior law of justice and of royal liberty which is according to the Apostle St. James, tbe proper law of the Christian. Tl l-a For ll;A mnrA nprftict t-imnrino ftf this holy liberty that 1 came to ask at tbe cloister, now more man ten years aga, in the thm of an enthusiasm free from all h u m a n cah ulation I shall not venture to add free of all the illusion of youth if, in exchange for my sacrifices, I am to day offord chains, I have not only the right but the duty to reject them? The present hour is solemn. The Church passes through one of the mcst violent dark and decisive crises of its of its existence here below. For the first lime iu o'JU years an Ecumenical Council is uot only convoked, but declared necessary; such is the expression of the Holy Father. It is not in such a moment that a preaeber of the gospel , were he the tbe last of nil, can consent to remain as the mute dogs of Israel, unfaithful guardians, whofii the prophet reproaches as unable to bark. Ltncs miili non valtutrs hitrare. The saints were never silent. I am not one i f them, but neveithelcss I belong to their race, ji'ii sanctorum is, and I have always been ambitious to place iii y steps, my tears, and, if necessary, my blood, in the tracks which they have lelt. 1 raise, therefore, before the Holy Father and tho Council my protestation as Christian and preachers against these doctrines ai.d practices, calling themselves Uoinaii, but which are not Cbii.-tiane, and winch in lluir encroachments, always most audacious and most baneful, tend to change t lie eonstkui ion of tbe Church, the bais as weil as form of her tc-ichiiisr and even the spirit of her piety. 1 protest a-ainst j the divorce, as impious as it is insane,! which it is sought, t.i accomplish between t ii e Church, who is our mother according I lo eternity, and the society ofthe nine j teenth cci.iury, of whom we are the sousj according to the tunes, and towards whom i we have also some duties and attachments ! I protest against this most radical aud dicidful pppu-utii to hu:n.iti uature, ! which is aitackei and made to revolt by s these fdisq doctrines in its most inlestruc- ' tiblc and holiest aspirations. j I protest ab.iva all against the sacrili-, .... . . - . of God bin self, the spirit and the letter of which are q i.illy trodden under foot by the i baris,.sui of the new law.

I honed I would be able to attend your appro icb'fng tenveution. In this i amvery much 4 usppoi&ted. Let me, therefore, say a wenf to the Convention, provided you fihall think it worth while to communicate. iut Ever since I was old enough to form aa opinion on puEmc questions 1 1 have be.i. : i.. . .i l This riL on hos "'s 'gJt on tlio.-,e grand primaUrutha of detjocraiy, which our lathers . declare.

It can n ake uo whit of difference irirfn ciple wbetber he wears the collar of a Wa ticular master,: or is the slave of a f roogef tyrant caliod sociafy. It is still alaveer and the question of sex can have nothib wuaiever to do with The issue, I cave too much respect for myself to denounce-1 a i I aribtocracy founded on color or race, jatiitl at the same time ju.tiiy an arutvccar founded on sex. I believe, rel!jiuslyv a deuiocratcy as a pricciple; but that principle is certaioly uut satisfied by a government resting on the assumed right of owe half of the people to deal with ihe Iibrty property and lives of tbe other ball, wit-v out tbeir consent. I am .net arguing the) question, but simply stating my own dei ded conviclious; aud releiring them tit elementary principles, which requires .no argument. Let me add, that in ' the' discussion of this question during tbe'paa? twenty years, to which I have given some attention, I do not reiuember a single a r gu ment agaiust the right of woman to, vota. which met the issue upon it merits, and. which did not dwell upon the predioteOl1 mishaps of grautiug tbe rights ae tho BealnP ! reasou lor wilh Elding qa The progress of this uioyctneDt.ha r.ar4f been rapid. Like other great refjraqr it has been compelled to bid its tiwe, afnd await the logic of eveuts. One of blessed compensations of ihe late civil waV was the abolninn of negro slavery.1 Thii necessitated the enfranchisement of .Mb: nero as a cilizea, aud provokeda popudaCj continuation and re examination ot tbe I whole tiuestion of human rights. Th e ii-" i bellion has thus proved a mighty sclidoj "'aster in bringing tbe people to a koawfi tlge of the principles of free gwernuiaap, and of radical democracy. When, during the i oitieth Congress, I saw the ballot at last secured fo the negroes of the South',1 and a Constitutional Amendment launched' with the moral certainty of its ratiacatieayt by which the ballot would be restored, ta, the disfranchised race in all the States.. I ! thought the hour had struck for ao organ"izition for tbe enfranchisement of the'woV men of our couutry. I therefore oltf;rd bills iu the House of Representative, curing the ballot to woniaa to the DUtrictof Columbia, and in all the Territories ofT the United States; and I had the honorJto subaiit a Sixteenth Atuendmetit - voTbe Constitution, basing the right of sufTVaera' iu the Cuhed Slates upon citixenship, aa4. iorLiddiug here af'er any distinction whatever ia the exercise cf the right founded upon sex. The grand national issue is before the country, and it will retaain tbart! till it shall be Mettled ia accordance J with the theory of the cause is a mere question , of time, and the lime may con e saoner than the most sanguine of its friends be lieve.
