Patriotism and Politics.

No more appropriate program for the celebration of Independence Day could be proposed than the joint discussion of the living political issue of the day, the financial question, by representitive speakers of the two opposing schools. The silver ques tion with its*kindred propositions is the one absorbing feature of the political discussion to-day. Newspapers of every shade of political faith are filled with dessertations, pro and con, and the masses are keenly interested in its study. The heat of a campaign has never developed so pronounced a discussion of finance as is now in progress in all parts of the country, and no more suitable use could be made of the national hoiliday than the calm, impartial paesentation of facts upon this great subject by the ablest advocates of the opposing forces. If taken in hand at once a monster gathering could easily be secured in Rensselaer for the Fourth. Let the matter be taken under serions consideration, that an amicable arrangement can be effected. Bargains in summsr wash goods at Nowels.
