The meeting in Winham county, Connecticut,
held the 9th of January, 1888, by Abolitionists,
to denounce the votes of our Democratic RepublI-
can brethren of the North, clearly establishes the
identity of these two parties. AS part of the
preamble and resolutions passed at that meeting,
reprobating and denouncing General Holt, one of
the Democratic Republican members from that
State, for his vote Mr.. PArroN's resolution, so
eminently calculated to save the Republic from
dsunion and perhaps most bloody revolution;
the following extracts taken from the procee-
dngs:
At an adjourned meeting of the Widham Coun-
ty Anti-Slavery Society, held at Chaplin, Tues
day, January 9, 1885, the following resolutions
were unanimously passed:
Whereas, the House of Representatives of the
United States, by an unwarrantable assumption of
power, contrary to the spirit of the Constitution,
and in violation of the rights and liberties of the
of December, 1897, pass the following resolution:
''Resolved, That all petitions, memorials
and papers touching the abolition Of SLAVERY, or
the buying, selling or transferring Of slGreS an
any STATE, DtSH1ct, or IeTrttTy 81 me CnIen
States, be laid upon the table rithout being de-
6Gted, printed, read, or REFERRED and that no
further action 1rhatever shall be had thereon"
And whereas it appears that three ofthe delegates
from this State, viz Holt, Phelps, Whttlesey,
with forty-eight others from the nominally free
States, voted in the affirmative on the passage of
said resolution
RESOLVED, That our Representative in Con-
gress from this District Orrin Holt by his vote in
favor of the resolution above quoted, virtually de-
nying the right of petition, has mIsrepresented
his constituents and proved recreant TO the trust
reposed in him by those who gave him his seat
in Congress.
In addition to this, and number of other in
stances of the kind, it is fact too notorious to be
denied, that the Abotionists have constantly kert
up regular fire and denunciation against the
course of our Republican friends here from that
quarter who have boldly stepped forward in defence
ofthe Constitution and the Union, while pIaudits

Wise to believe that some member OF Congres
had been bribed, or had offered his political mfiu

that no member of the House was accused, tn
charge was fixed on MIR. Ruggles of the Senate

SPECIE PAYMENTS.

We see that efforts making In some Of tht
States to resume specie payments, but nothing de-
cisive has yet been done. Philadelphia federal
paper says that the Banks of Pennsylvania, in gen
) eral are in good condition, and could resume spe
Gle payments now; and would be glad to do so
but for the Bank of the United States, which re-
sists every movement in that direction. In process
Of time, say+ the paper the Pennsylvania Bank of
the United States may resume, but noU she can
not. This is the great bank, with "the greatest
fnancier of the age" at its head and the only OBJ.
stacIe to a resumption of specie payments-the
"great regulator" run down, and carrying every
ther institution with it into disgrace. The " pro-
cess of time" required by the u S. Bank must bring
with it the funds of the government-the money of
the people-which this institution claims right
to dispose of for the benefit of the " commercial
community" We now see how poor and despica-
bic this boasted bank is without an niquitous con-
nection with the treasury and fraudulent manage
ment of the public money.
The New York Journal of Commerce, federal
paper, says that Mr. Biddle owes balances in that
city of four millions and half of dollars, and that
these balances are increasing; while those due hiS
bank. are chiefly balances from banks which are
in fact his branches. Now, while Mr.. Biddle is
not obliged to pay dollar in specie, he can 60
with his speculations; nothing is easier than
for man to succeed, if the community will dis
pense with his payments and give him all his dues
If other Banks resume Mr.. Biddle gets their bills
in exchange for his notes, and for the of the
old U. S. Bank, fraudently issued, and would drain
them Of their specie, without being himself obliged
to pay one dollar. Such is the power, the infu-
ence and the false credit of a bank that has only
had control over the public money-a bank that is
in fact insolveDt, (f we allowed to Judge by its
movements) and still sustained by designing and
interested politicians.
1t is said the pressure of public opinion is begin
ming to be inconvenient to Mr.Biddle. If that o.
pinion affects his interest, he may feel it as an in
convenience. Otherwise, he has no regard for the
public voice, SO long as he can be applauded and
carressed by the aristocracy. 1t is the select fen,
and not the "servile route" that Mr.. Biddle is am
bilious to please. And are sorry that our coun-
try has produced man so lost to every sentiment
of patriotism and love of country-so completely
devoted to his own selfish objects. A man too,
who but for the eclat which moneyed connection
has given him, would have found his influence cir
by the circle which the mediocrity of
his talents would have drawn.
