Payment of the Debt.

From the Atlantic Menthlj'. There is no ocfTtsion at present to pay the debt bearing interest. For twenty years to < uYrftn we have the option to jery most of it at ottr pleasure, at rates averaging five and threefburths j>er cent: while Austria end Italy, mi whose level our IVndleton politicians would jHaee us, pay seven and tla-ee-lbufths per cent,- not levied on a >ich population like ours, but on a people itnpoVerisheif]by ages of oppression. The silent operation of our imposts on liquors and tobacco will, without efl’ort-on our part, soon meet our interest, and provide, a sinking hind for -tlirprincrjiai. — Sta mpspliecns'es, and.; bank eircuiatidn will pay for pen*, sibnsaml the instruction of the negro; i and customs under a reduced tariff will meet, as lie fore the war, the current expenses of the natiau. —\\ c require our growing capital, not for tbe extinction of our debt, but for tlie devejopment of our industry and lor diversitj of empjoyineiit. , Tlie war lias injured certain brandies of industry which require renovation. It Ims swept a way horses amlTnules for eavanyd imiilery, and wagons; it has dmi'nislied our animal force, w hihr if tmi ed our mechanism. It has taken tor rations many of our Western cat,tie, replacing them by twelve millions of sheep, and converting grass lands into wheat fields. Consequently, horses 1 are dear, and beef and dairy products command unwonted prices, w hile our wheat product is exuberant. It has checked the construction ol ships, steamers, factories, houses, piers, and public improvements.— Agriculture and commerce demand more facilities, and Y oung America requires new homes and workshops. While the war has given an impulse to mining, anti lowered the price of coal-—if we reduce paper to gold—to tlie prices current before the wnr‘; while it has nearly doubled the manufacture of wool, and given us machinery sufficient to spin and weave as much wool as England converts into cloth, it lias given a cheek to cotton. While ithas opened the orebeds ol Lake Superior, that now .yield seven hundred thousand tons of rich magnetic ore, and has carried the yearly .manufacture of pig-iron from one to two millions of tons, and extended our railways to lorty-foiu* thousand miles, and convinced us that we may pursue successfully the nrauufacture of linen, worsteds, silks, alpacas, and fabrics of jute and mo* hair, it has shown us the necessity of many more public improvements to carry food and- raw material to our factories or to points of shipment. The great object of jtlie statesman now should be, not to trifle vritli the debt, but to remove the burdens, to extend our agriculture, cherish and diversify our manufactures, revive commerce and ship-building by a return to specie, and the extinction of those war duties which were imposed to counterbalance the taxes wc have removed from manufactures. This is the province of tbe true statesman, —this is what the true interest at the nation imperatively First, let us national taxes that can be dispensed with, no taxes on looomotiou or on insufapee, and na invasiopa of our privaoy to tax the incomes dt trade* and professions, with which our industry creates taxable .capital. Bee-"

RENSSELAER, JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA, OCTOBER 18(18.

ohd, let us, instead of increasing our war tariff, at oriOe remove all prohibitory and excessive duties. Before the war; our tariff averaged less than fifteen per cent on all our iraportatious. It has been raised to an average of more than forty-five per cent. How has -this been effected ? First, by Hew taxes on tea and coffee, and by increased imposts on other groceries, which novf yield nearly sixty millions, —nearly as much as our whole'return from customs before the insurrection. These, doubtless carried the average of out duties to nearly thirty per cent) and most of those which have been judiciously fixed by our Revenue Commissioner, Mr. Wells, it will doubtless be politic to retain, although .it might be well to reduce the duties on tea and spices to specific rates, not exceeding sixty per cent, for both tea and spioes are coming in free from Canada. Duties on fruits and raw materials, ana counteracting duties on manufactures to aid the home prodne#*, have carried the average of our tariff from thirty to more than forty-five per cent, and most of this excess should be repealed. Dct us refer for illustration to the duties on fruit, salt; wool, woollens, coal, andiron. We have many ships, and should have more, in the trade with the Mediterranean. Liverpool alone, ip the last twenty years, abandoning a fleet of schooners, has put eighty thousand tons of screw steamers into the Mediterranean trade, and her imports and exports iu this commerce now exceed a million of tons yearly. We send from 1 Boston and New York many barks and brigs through the Straits, laden with fish, flour, alcohol, oil, lard, provisions, cotton goods, dyewoods, sugar, and coftce, and returning with fruit, salt, wubl, dye-stuffs, saltpetre, auti materials for our manufactures. The fruit and the salt arc sent westward as far ae’tlie Missouri, and are of great value both to health and agriculture. ~~

Is it politic to tax either of these articles, on which we how place duties ranging from twenty-five to two hundred per cent ? The return freight on fault and salt lightens the -charges on exports of our own products, and our imports enable us to export. If salt in Sicily or Spain is made by solar heat at ten cents per hundred pounds, is it our true policy to tax it two hundred per cent, to eiinhle a lew owners of salt springs to convert a weak lime into an inferior salt, for preserving beef and pork, by the wart ) of our forests and coal-beds ? Do not our railways thus also lose, un important item of return freight ? and is it not the policy of our nation, instead of forcing these spritigs into an unnatural productiou, t) keep them as reserves for time of war, and to stimulate our farms, railways, ships, exports and imports, by a natural and enriching commerce ? As respects coai, iron, wool, and woollens, ive have tried the experiment of excessive duties, and what is the rggult.? We have over-stimu-lated coal by a duty of a hundred per cent on the foreign article, and thus made our coal-mines anprofitabfe. We are doing the same thing uilli iruu. The ore of Michigan is a*©ttdtttgihattrf Frowsy lvanra-The wages of her iron-workers have been carried above those of judges and governors, and the manufacturers and shipwrights of the East, who reSuife iron at the lowest pricp for ieir boilers and engines to compete with those of Europe, and can best supply thqjr wante’ from tlie-iron which returmfin th<3‘vessels Carrying out our wheat, flour, and provisions, are deterred, by the high price of iron, from building ships and factories. 1/ftSt year, wo unwisely placed a duty ojn wool and a compensating duty on woollens. What is the result ? We have lost aiu\ are losing our export trade in flout, fish, lumber, and provisions to Afrifea, Australia, and the valley of the La Plata, while the tailors of Canada, Now Brunswick, and Nova Scotia' supply the wardrobes of a large .part of New Tork and NowlSuglaMd; thc high prices of cheese and buttcr are thinning the flocks of Vermont and Ohio, while neither Texas nor California, where the'sheep roam through the year in rich pastures, demand protection. Indeed, the idea of protecting agricultures by duties, in a country which gives its land to settlers, contrasts strangely with the policy of England, France, an<f Belgium, which have repealed all duties on wool, although they maintain twioo as many sheep as we do, and this, too, on land worth four hundred do]lars per acre. Let us Irepeal all du-i ties on salt, fruit, and raw material, and impose no duties on manufactures‘exceeding thirty-five per cent, and make those spocifio. , Third, let us return to specie and wclc&uie again a gold, currency, assimilated to that of France as recommended by that distinguished statesman,’the Hon. 8. B. Haggles,—to whom we owe the enlargement of the Erifi Canal,—and let Us hive the French system of wdights and measures. The war is over, and It is time to disoard an irredeemable currency debased and degraded by ouT over* issues.

the risk of a decline in gold in all our purchases. The accountant,. the Clerk, tire clergyman, and often the laborer, suffer from the depreciation. Why are rents and goods so dear ? aud why do wo abandon our mission on tlie ocean? It is because wc dare not build the houses, Stores, factories, and ship* that are required, for fear of a fall iu value when the currency rises to par. Our traditions are all in favor of an early return to specie; for when in former days the banks suspended, Boston and New York, by an early resumption recovered their prosperity, while Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Cincinnati were seriously injured by a continued suspension. The return to specie within a reasonable period can be effected by contraction, and that contraction would be almost imperceptible were Congress to impose a tax of tw a per cent on bank circulation, and for a year to come, as the internal taxes are paid, convert each greenback into a compound-interest note at three per cent, payable in -three years, in cash or five per cent securities, and convertible into four per cent bonds at thirty years, free from all taxation. Suoh compound notes like those issued during the war, for which we may thank the Hot). Amasa Walker, would be. selffunding, and almost imperceptibly carry us back to a specie* Standard, while the tax on bank circulation and deposits would meet the three per cent interest.

Speech of Robert M. Douglas, Son of the Late Senator Douglas.

At a Republican mass meeting held in North. Carolina, on tho 16th of September, Robert M. Douglas, the eldest son of the late Stephen A. Douglas, delivered a speeeh. North Carolina is the home of this young Douglas, and his ability to assume the mantle of his father may be foreshadowed in his maiden political address, which is as follows: . Fklix)w Citizb?kb: Tbough it may appear presumption in one so young to attempt to discuss questions which tax the energies and abilities of our greatest statesmen, yet; feeling in this vital struggle, on which I benpve the future prosperity, if not the very existence, ofour coiintry depends, it is tijo duty of every one, young and old', to exert his utmost in defence of our sacred cause I obey you call. This is probably the first time in our nation’s history that a young man has had tbe opportunity of appearing before a popular gathering as the advocatir of a truly national party —a party that is governed by no sectional Interests or partisan prejudices, but whose motto is our whole country, whose eternal principles are equal rights and equal laws. 1 do not look upon this as a canvass which will decide tho munner in which tho government of the cohntry shall be administered but as'ian issue on which will depend tup vital quostion, “shall we Fave a country?” Sinceroly believing this, I shall not attempt to4ealwitF minor questions of domestic policy, but shall come at once to the main issue— Union or disunion, peace or war. What satisfaction does tho true patriot derive from the adoption of bis dearest theories of government, if in the adoption of those thcorios begins the ruin of tho land he fondly hoped they would lead to greatne*B? Laws founded even upon divine inspiration would bo useless if there wore no country for them to govorn. What thesflre Is there for the display of tho energies'of a young and aspiring citizen just entering upon tbe important duties of life in a country torn by civil strife? Well has an eminent American statesman remarked:."There is no path q{ ambition open to me in a divide!! and distracted country.” To prove that the real issue is peace or war we have only to refer to Frank F. Blair’* letter, written with a view to his nomination aud subsequently endorsed by tho very fact of his nomination by the National Democratic Convention. Blair in bia letter Bays*. "There is but one way to restore the government and tho constitatio'n, and that is for the President oleet to deolare these acts nail &nd‘ void, compel the army to undo its usurpation at tbe South, disperse the'carpet-bag State Governments, Jtlld# tbs white people to reorganize their owu governments and elect Senators and Representatives." i Of course any attempt to subvert toe governments of these Southern States by force would load to war as thoThwerioor end all other State offlc*fs, oivll and. military, are sw<?rn to alley, support and defend the Constitution of the State .of North Carolina; and we will_defen(Fi|. Further down Blair" Bays: .- "We mast restore the constitution before we can restore thdtnatfcos’, sod to do this we mast hive a President who th# will of the people by traonpling’ ißto dagt the naurnation of Cougrqsa known as the Reconstruction qpte. I wish to stand before the conveiw ilOn upon this isßuo, bnt it if <*•

which embraces everythingelstfthih is of value in its large and eomfirobonsive results. £b is the. One thing,, that includes all tlmt is wqrtb a oon-. tost, and without itthore is nothing that gives dignity, honor or value to the struggle." On this issue he was If any further proof were needed to. show tbe revolutionary spirit of the Conservative party, it could easily bo found fn the Violent harangues we daily henr around as, their bitter persecution of Union men, and their unrelenting hatred of the North and its loyal peoplo. The bittornoss toward Northern men,-who prove true to their principles and who do not bow in slavish submission to the opinions of these haughty aristocrats, self constituted judges of honor and morality, I know from personal experience.— Tbough descended from one of the oldest families of this State, and born and partially raised in Rockingham county, upon my return nearly two years ago to my native place I was denounced as & Yankee and generally roceivetP'with all the coldness and distrust due to that detested race. Notwithstanding my own nativity and the position of my mother’s family, they could never forget the Puritan birth of my father, whose native State, Vermont, with her 30,000 majority, so nobly leads the van, and, I may add, could never forgive his dying efforts in defence of his country.

Speaking of bim, and feeling that whatever importance any words of, mine may have is derived from the name I bear and the affection manv still feel towards one who. through life proved himself*.the people’s friend, a few words copcemiog my father may not be deemed inappropriate. It wa3 with feelingsof surprise—and 1 must add, of indignation—that I saw his name inscribed upon one of the transparencies borne in tho lato Conservative procession. I thought that common decency at least would have prevented them from dragging -from the-tomb the name of the man whom they had betrayed and denounced through life aud, after liis death, whose Orphan children they bad persecuted. When gazing Upon the name I remembered tbe time when these same men declared him a traitor to every principle of honordJecanse he preferred his country to his party and bitterly denounced him for his efforts to rally tbo people of the West for the defence of the UnioD. I remember ail .these when I am declared a degenerate son; and for every quotation they give me from his speeches I will give them a dozeflr- WJiQn the Sentinel parades a sentence concerning a white man’s government I wonld remind them of his dying words. When the wife bent over tho scarce breathing form of tho expiring statesman and asked if he had no message to send his children: "Tell them,” said he. In a voice rendered almost inaudible by tbo near approach of death, "to obov and support the constitution and the laws of the land." This solemn ihjuncTidnTTntend To oT]ey.' When I see myself personally abusedbytbe Denser vative prssston account of my political sentiments, and called a traitor to the State in which I was born, I would recall to their' recollection the time when I was declared an- alieu enemy.— About the year 1862, a bill was filed summoning Thomas Settle (nqw Associate Justice of The Supremo Court) and R. A. Ellington to Greensboro to show cause why they Ahould not surrender the property of Robert 14. and Stephen A. Douglas, alien enemies of the Confederacy; and when I am denounced a* a Yankee and carpet-bagger, 1 tyould remind them of their efforts to drive me an exito frond my native State and render pt* a stranger to tbe soil that gave me,'birth. As, however, I have, inherited ray fatber’s name aud his‘ principles, it is natural that I should inherit then* animosity. Nevertheless, lit is strange that these men, bis bitterest enemies in life, should now claim to be the truest exponents of his principles; bnt dot more strange than that they should, now assert theujselves tbe best friends of tbe Constitution of the United States a|hd the infallible interpreters of its provisions, after they have sacrificed hundreds of thousands of thousands of millions of treasure so trafnpld into the dost that sacred instrument. Such is tboir consistency, sard sncli it is throughout Sll their political principles. If a White Bar publican afdresseS a crowd* of col. orod men, expressing his honest sentiments, instructing them in their rights and duties, and advisiDgnhom ae a friend that action involves social equality and is disreputable. High-born Cooßeijvativeß, however, cnncsaingle promiscuously among colored men at barbecues, eat from the satqh sheep ana dirink from the.ssmo. bottle, and they deserve the praise of their fol ow-evti-zens.

Consider, then, the difference between the candidate*—Seymour, former Gtorempg of New York, and Grants the conqueror of tbe rebellion, It is true that Seymour may be the more fluent Speaker, that is, may find mere'Ur talk about; bat when General Grant has anything to say be is pretty, generally understood; such, for as his “immediate and unconditional surrender.” The, former fkrnow by reputation, th^ 1 latter personally.
