CORRESPONDENCE.

New York, September 8, 1887.
Dear Sir-I fear an impression has gone abroad that
the Prcsd ents Message received by the party here
with satisfaction and that the resolutions of the Gene
raj Committee is considered approval by the repub-
cans Of this city The truth is the entire The
receipt Of the Message gloom the friends Of
the administration that have before witnessed.
Your election as printer has dspelled it. We hope
every thing from that Spartan band that stood by you.
AS to the resolutions which purpor have been passed
by the General Committee, they are an entire fraud
You will see in the next Times explanation of the
whole affair, by member OF the committee. 1t is in
short this the assembling Of the Committee, Of
the " Loco focos" moved resolution approving the
course OF the Globe motion to lay it upon the table
was passed by % a. the latter number being the
tire strength Of the Loco focos' in the Committee
similar resolution, in approval Of the Evening Post,
was aso laid upon the table by similar vote. It
now about 10 o'clock, and motion made to adj
journ Some one, however, suggested that the neces-
sary resolutions ought to be assed for assembling the
ward meetings, preparatory to the approaching election
As this mere formal business, and would occupy
time in naming the different places Of meeting,
without suspec,ng any foul play, the conservatives
dropped of and went home, until there but 26
present, bare quorum, when the resolutions in
troduced and carried by, believe, vote Of IA to L.
Had the resolutions been offered in the carly part OF the
evening when the Committee full, they would have
been laid on the table by vote Of % to Ia. No
utions would have been passed except ono dlsapprov
ing the Sub Treasury Scheme, and approving of that
part OF the Message which "rciers to Congress the
necessary to regulate in the present
gency the saic-kecpng and transfer Of the public
neys"
In the wisdom Of that Conress We place trust
We all regret that the Presden, should have put forth
such Message.
We do not consider his individual opinions upon
these "uniried expedients' binding upon Us, and you
may rest assured that the Democracy of this city will be
in favor ols old doctrines not the unred expedens"

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

The statement subjoined has been sent us
from Yates county, New York, for publica-
ton. 1t will be seen that Convention has
been held by the Democratic Republicans of
that county, strongly disappearing of the pro-
posed divorce of Bank and State" 1t will
be observed, that the meeting was held be-
fore the Message was received. We arc
satisfied by the evidences we are receiving
from all quarters, that the people are totally
unprepared 10 meet the expedents" proposed
in the Message Of the distinguished Chief
Magistrate they labored to elevate. II will be
recollccted that meetings were held short
time since, in Philadelphia, Charleston, Bos-
ton and Cincinnati, which, in the absence of
proof Of the respective characters of those as
semblies, might have been deemed by the
President, indications of the popular will
They were not so. They were TO be regard
ed as the result Of the individual efforts of
few agitators, among the dissatisfied and al
WAYS restless classes to be found hanging
loosely upon the skirts Of the Republican par
" in the large cities. While the real friends
of the Administration in those cities, knew
their character from personal observation, the

relations, disconnected from the general GO
vemment. viii have TO rely upon paper me-
dium, discredited and dishonored by The fede-
raj power. This cannot, ought not 10 be.
When the country, the whole country is in
distress. it is not only the policy, but it is the
duty Of the general government to be an
auxiliary in every practicable mode TO the re-
lief Of its suferings. 1t falls short Of the
purposes Of its great creation if il fails to do
this.
These are some Of the reflections which
have exercised our minds upon this absorbing
topic They are made with the freedom that
belongs to the right Of opinion, and from a
sense of duty called for by the relation that
we hold to the public They are made with
the kindest feelings towards the distinguished
Chief Magistrate, with u thorough conviction
that his opinions are based upon the honest
dictates Of patriotism, and the most sincere
desire 10 consult the public veal.

three conclusions which will be entertained by me in

In the first place. over-bankng is great evil under

that much paper supported by little specie to be
demned as well as moro paper with more specie, And
know Of no better mode Of accomplishing this check
than by prohibiting the banks from issuing notes for
sums under twenty doars-but even this change should
be gradually introduced.
In the second place, National Bank in any shape,
is great evil, and ought to be avoided if possible.

4. Il seems to me the following DECLARE

subject matter, to wit;
at may indeed be questioned, whether q Is not for
the interest OF the banks themselves thai The Govern

the currency received bv it, and that used by individuals

But return, in conclusion, 10 what the
Message contains that is worthy OF praise, to
wit
"If Chief Magistrate may be allowed 10 speak for

This is worthy of President elected by
republicans And before the assembled repre-
sentatives Of the people act, let them reflect
that the submission Of free people TO the
executive authority of government, is no more
than compliance with laws which they
themselves have enacted" Let them not
confer powers on the Executive, or assign
duties, of the exercise or discharge Of which
the constituent body will be likely to COM

body That the whole Committee are ready, at all
times to award the President his Just claims patriot

THE ADDISON COUNTY TEMPERANCE
SocIETy will hold its Annual Meeting,
on the FOURTH DAYoF July, in Whiting,
commencing precise y at &C lock, p. NJ.
The Executive Committee have made
arrangements for calling out in addresses,
some Of the best talents in the county;
and as the 4th of July, lever memorable
to American citizens, has been rendered
by custom a leisure day, we confidently
hone that the importance Of the cause In
which we are engaged will secure gene
raj attendance of its friends, not on y in the
county of Addison, but from contiguous
towns in Rutland county. Let the patrt-
OF and the ghilantoroplst, under the ban
ner of Temperance, (Which is the only
safeguard of our civil or religious liber-
ties )assemble on that day which declared
our nation free and then renew their mn-
tual pledge to prosecute an exterminating
war against this common enemy OF man,
this baue of human happiness, (Intemper-
ance.)
1t is presumed that the speakers on that
occasion, will not be forgetful of our coun-
try's freedom, or of the day which gave
birth to our nation.
Let there be no dividing of assemblies,
or clashng of interest in the county of
Addison on that day; let all the friends Of
Temperance assemble in Whiting, that
( ombined and resistless influence may be
given to temperance efforts. And may
we not hope that the ladies in the county
of Addison will grace the meeting with
their presence, and exert their subduing,
alI-conquering influence against this arch
intruder, this bane of domestic happiness
Truly they are the greatest sufferers in
consequence ofrum-selling and rum-drink-
ing. In behalf of the Executive Com
