Ä . . m . i.-ivtlic .-on HV' "! tile soKiiei'V. tliev oldie Sine the world began and aovernments were evganised amongst men. 1 say 'n this txmventiou of the deanoCVaoy of Indiana, that no such enorrnons speculation no sueh swindle, was ever im posed upon the laboring people by any government. Such a thing hau never before been known. Nearlv one-half of the bonded debt to day is a fiction exists upon paper for nionev that never left the coffers of the capitalist"2. On that eight hundred millions or nine hundred millions of dollars of fiction tlie people have paid their annual interest iu gold for the last five or ix years. There are quest ion that w ill hrve to be met ami they will have to he a ijustcd. 1 am for paying every honest cent we owe. but Rur myaerfj I am fbr giving high and mighty notice to these people that their receipt for houiething for nothing must draw to a close, and that soon. The secretary of the treasury proclaims himself in favor of funding the public debt twelve hundred millions of dollars divided into three parts: four hundred millions of dollars in twenty years, four 1 undrcd millions of dollars in twenty-five years, and four hundred millions of dollars, iu thirty years, at four and a half per cent. A -hort calculation v, ill show that at the end of thirty years the people d' this country will have paid on? thirteen hundred and fifty millions of dollars in g( Id, iu interest alorie. npon the secretary'.-, plan, .and not oac dollar of the principal paid. I a-k vou. oentlemen of the eon vonHon, to ponder these thing, deeply. tVrrythem home with you. Appeal to your republican neighbors, and ask theta whether they propose to make themselves endless slavef like blind Itorses in a tread mill, to work from mtu to Sun, from week to week, from month to month, and from year to year, to pay a debt they don't owe, and for the payment and final liquidation of which there is no plan at all. lentleHiuu somet imes say that we should present an affirmative issue as well as a negative one I am Boiuetimes charged with being good at tearing down the. plans of others. Bear with me a low moments longer. We have MW outstanding fifteen hundred million of five-twenty bonus, payable at the end d' 5 or 20 fears; ö have about expired. They can be paid at any time within the next fifteen years. My plan is to draw in one hundred million hi year, one huiid'cd million of dollars next year, and as it Were sprinkle it all over the next fifteen years, issuing currency to redeem it, thus paving the bonded debt in better money than it was bought with.

Tin- poor, impoverished south for their staples needs I've hundred millions of circulation. Thewhele circulation of the country is about seven hundred million of dollars. The opening up of the country West cd' the Mississippi to the waters of the 1'acifie Ocean makes other demands for currency. That country alone demands, in the interests of trade, as much or more circulation than all this country together, required before tlie war. We are a growing advancing and powerful nconlo.

That we are willing to pay our national debt) in strict compliance with our contracts, whether it was made payable in gold or greenbacks, but wc are unw illing to do more than that; and we declare that the five-twenty bonds are payable in greenbacks, or their equivalent; and we condemn the policy of the administration which s squandering millions of money bv buyiug Sttfih bonds :it a high rate of premium, when the governiiu t has the clear rhrht to redeem them at par. That the national bank system, or ganiaed in the interest ol the bond holders, ought to be abolished, and Toenbacks issued in lieu of such bank o paper, thus saving millions annually to the peopel, and giving to the winde people ( instead of the fev ) the benefits ol issuing a paper currency. That the business interests of the country demand an increased and maintained volume of the currency, and the burthen of the public debt, the high rate i f interest and taxation, imperatively forbid the contraction of the currency iu the interest of the bondholders. That the shares of stoek in the na tional banks ought to be subjected to I sebod and nrunicipal taxation ou the same conditions as other property; and we demand of out state legislature that tin1 shares of such bonds fhall be subieeted to equal taxation with other property of the state. That the bond.-; of tlie United States ought to be taxed by coniroag. for nationa purposes, to such an extent as will substantially equalize the taxation of such bonds with other property subject to local taxation. That WO denounce the action of our 1 :-t legislature in attempting to fere, upon the people the proposed fifteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, as in palpable violation of our state constitution, an 1 WC solemnly protest against Indiana being counted for said amendment; and WS hereby declare our unalterable opposition to its ratification. That any attempt to regulate the 1 ral idea-, appetites, or innocent amusements of tue p ple by legislation is unwise and despotic. That we arc opposed to any 'hange in the naturalization laws of the United States, whereby aduiisaion to citizenship will be made more difficult or expensive; and we especially denounce the proposed plan of transferring the naturalization of aliens to th: cuiut of tho United Slates, and abridging the powers of state courts in that respect, as a hardship and expense to the poor and frendless candidate fox American, citizenship; we recognize the proposed change as the off-shoot of intolerant Kn lW-Nothingism" the "twin relic'' of radicalism itself. Wi: have not asked many favors ot our subscribers, as they probably well know, but we now request each of them to solicit some friend or neighbor, who is not now a subscriber, to take the Ikm cp AT. Tn this way onr list of subsoribera may bo largely hicTuasod; and whatever rincrcase ot patronage we receive will be expended in iuquwement on the paper, so that those who s dieit subsnfiboffl Ibr us nfc really conferring a positive benefit upon themselves. Our terms are the ame as those of weekly papers generally throughout the country per annum, in advance. This in a fraction less than foul cents pet week; and there are certainly very few who cannot ?pare that amount for a paper giving as much reading neuter as the PrMocitAT does. A very important political campaign opened a-t Saturday, and every man. who expects to act and vote intelligently, should take hiooouuny paper, which will keep him posted on local and general polities as well as all other subjects on ivhich information is desirable. We therefore repeat our request that our subscribers will use their influence to extend the circulation of tho jhajfoy CRAT, and promise them that all such favors will be duly appreciated. Crjxnftvss i-; once more in session, und that is all that can be said the subject. No action ha- been attempted except on the subjectof reconstruction, sad it seems the desire of congress to re n oust i u' t.Vir inia, Tennessee and Grcorgia because they sun democratic and to admit Mississippi and Texas because they are loil."

No action has heefl tattern on the financial question or the tariff, Nunc will be that will relieve the people, as that would be inconsistent with tho entire pohot ot a J tin- radical party.
