HITTING THE NAIL ON THE HEAD :"

HITTING THE NAIL ON THE HEAD" Although composed of the most discordant mate- rals the opponents of the of popular rights keep
 their banners to the breeze and their forces in the field"
 The foregoing sentence is from the last Patriot and Democrat. According to the writer, there is party
 in this State opposed to the cause ofpopular rights
 which is composed of the most discordant materials
 Where is that party to be found It is certainly not
 the republican or whg party, which is not only devo ted to the cause of popular rights in the highest and best sense of the tenn, but Is most harmoniousy and cordially united in efforts to promote the success of that cause in this State. We have not heard the least intmation of schism in the Whig ranks in any part of the State the contrary, the republicans every where united upon their nominations for Gov ernor and other executive ofcers State Senators and members of ofCongress The truth is, that the princi- pie of our union is devotion to liberty and the cause popular rights ;; and this always involves dsnter. estedness, the sure guaranty of unbroken harmony and friendly concert. But how is it with our oppo nents ? The only bond that connects them together is, the spols of victory Hence "self seeking as it called in the days of Cromwell is every where apparent. The party is indeed composed of "the most discordant materials" Birds of i'll omen from every quarter of the heavens collected together rend and devour each other in general scramble for the prey. We need appeal to no other evidence of the justice of our remarks than to the columns of the Patriot and Democrat itselE It is only few short weeks since that paper made formal declaration of against large portion of the pseudo democratic party in the State. Then commenced the business of elimination and re-criminaon in good earnest, and the Times and Patriot cried out ROGUE" to each other at the top of their voices; and the whigs said Amen. According to the Patriot, the State has been governed for years by a selfish, scheming, and un. principled olgarchy in and about the Times office.- This is doubtless true. The tory faction then is not the party in favor of the cause of popular righs- The editor of the Patriot seems willing to wade in blood and slaughter up to his oextermnate Niles and Co. Wese then where the party is to be found composed of the most discordant materials" If then
 the Patriot will apply his remarks to the Van Buren, ties in this state he will hit the nail on the head," and it will appear the fact is, that the whgs the only true advocates of the rights of the People. Per

 The proposed distribution of the surplus revenue Of thu ,. S. having been defeated by the machinatonsnf Miles, Phelps, and others, . is now certain that the
 People obtain these funds earlier than the 1st of January, 1889, even ifthey elect to Congress who are decidedly in favor fthe measure. The reasonis,
 that the next is the long session. and the members pur
 suant to immen,orial usage will do nothing till the close Of the session. which will be in May or June, '3s and then an act seould be got through it will doubt less direct that the distribution shall be of the surplus on hand on the 1st of January succeeding. An est- mate has been made by chile inen famiar with the
 nances of the country, and 1t dppeafs that the sur plus will probably then not fall short of sixty millions of dollars. It will be recoected that the late disribn ton act left in the Treasury five millions of dollars To this to be added the sale ofseven millions 6 stock owned by the government in the Bank of the U. S. at large premium, the produce of which will not beless than eight million of dollars, making in all capital of thirteen million of dollars for the pet banks to com mence with, which will be rapidly augmented until it runs up in two years to the fghtfu of $6O .OOO, 900, the use of which is to be given to bank arsto crats for the pul compensation of two per cent per annun. Nor is this the worst of it. The Peoples money thus deposited is used by these same banks and their tools to shave tho People themselves to the tune oftwo per cent month, t,oentyour per ce't rer annum!! Atths moment these shaving mills are in full operation in the city of New York; and how their unhappy victims wrthe under the application of the knife! And yet Doct. Lancelot Phelps says that the People shall not have the use of their money -he interposes his solemn against their loanng these funds for their own benefit at per cent-the Doct knows there will be no shaving by the People, but notwithstanding this, the Doct says lock e strong boz against he People! Look wild! the tories ex- claim, the People are coming the People are com ing after their own money, and the mischief will be to pay if the People should get it. Under these crcum- stances, Messrs. Holabird and Abernethy get up in baby convenon and proclaim thatit is better for the People to loan the surplus the Banks at per cent. than to have it themselves at six This may answer milk for babes,' but the whg doctrine is, return to As People money not snated or national purposes which is "meat for strong men," We cannot avoid subjoining some remarks from the New York Ex- press. with slight alterations adapt them to the meridian of Connecticut =
 Sir.y Millions cf Dollars in the Deposite Banks and two-thrds of it in New York The new States in 'hsr ,ts bargain All hs States robbed of streets of New York two per cent. month loaned to the Banks at two per cent per annum! Ha ha ha Ii we could only represent laugh on paper as in thus fooled, should send our Journal, shaking its sides, and roaring over the Aleghapes and along the rivers of the North, South and West. Connecticut no.hing! Georgia nothing Alabema nothing! II6- posite Banks at two per cent. per annums Ha ha! ha ye 6lockhsads. come to Wail-s'ree,-take les.
