election; it is foreign to my purpose but
do verify believe it was achieved against the
wishes of majority of tho people of Ohio,
and recent events'sustain that opinion. And
yet, this man, whom the people of Ohio de-
lighted. and if the signs of the times do not
deceive, will again delight to honor is, at
the moment of his retiring from the Senate to
the bosom of his family, and to all the private
relations of life, held up and stigmatizcd in the
Globe as bank beneficiary In the same
article, sir, some fifteen Senators are oppro-
briously named and condemned by his Gov
eminent press. The State of Alabama is
particularly congratulated on being relieved
from tho 'Calhouncry of Gabriel Moore. But
now new light has suddenly opened which
wholly changes the medium through which
the Globe sees 'Calhouncry,' to use Mr. Blair's
own phrase. How long has it been since that
paper stigmatzcd Mr. Calhoun as the bank S
fed instrument, and said of him that no man
ever nuuiEcd the truth with so little rcmorsc!
Now, however, the whole scene is changed
and Mr. Calhoun is almost deifed by the very
Government press which but yesterday had so
reviled him Here, Mr. Speaker, we realize
another truth spread before the country in
Mr. Benton's report, which, in describing the
power of the President over individuals ad.
minstering the Government,says 'He makes
and unmakes them a short time sine, this
Administration and its press stood foth the
| advocates and friends the State banls, and
after placing the public money in thci' custo-
dy, urged them to lend it out. Having thus
| 'debauched and scduccd them from tie 'even
tenor ofthcir way this same Administration
and press now abuse the banks and the credit
system which but yesterday they applauded ;
and, to Justify this abuse, falsehcod is substi-
tutcd for fact The Globe day or two since
stated 6 that the Legislative examination in
Ohio proved that the directors of the banks
| there had drawn out more than the whole
amount of their real capital This, sir, is
another daring and impudent falsehood OF
| that paper, and furnishes additional evidence
of the desperation of this Administration and
| its Government press in carrying out the
sub Treasury system, with all its selfish pur-
poses. The result of the Legislative exami-
ination of the banks in Ohio is fully reported
by the Auditor Of the State, who is thorough
going disciple of the sub Treasury school,
His report is now before me, and invite its
immediate inspection. 1t is most croditable
to the banks of Ohio shows them to have
been prudently managed, and that they will
not suffer in comparison with these of any
State in the Union. But let us look into the
Auditors report, and test The truth Of the fact
statedby the Globe, that the directors of the
banks in Ohio had drawn out more than the
amount oftheir real capital By the Audi.
capital stock actually paid in these banks in
December last was $l1 1881 ,6ls &c, and the
whole amount loaned to directors and stock.

466, LA Sc. leave it for others to apply the
proper rebuke to the Globe for its Islander OF
the banks and the people of Ohio but Nj
Speaker, appeal to you and to this House i
press which is thus basely conducted should
be sustained and cherished by funds from the
public Treasury?
This same paper took occasion, moi
long since to quote, from some remarks
which had the honor to make in this
House, and to say it had never intimated
that the Senate was useless body
Why, sir, the gross calumny heaped by
the Globe on the majority of the Senate
but short time since, must he familiar
to all. l Twill not offend so far as to read
those SANDERS to the House. The off.
cial organ, by its personal abuses of the
Senators, and repeated calumny of the
body, did more than give the intimation
alluded to. Did not the Globe say o.
the Senate that 'its dignity was i'm.
paired'-'its character for grave consid.
GRAFTON gone'-that its justice was
'doubted,' and its power to harm by its
most marked censure condemned ant
derided -? Yes, sir, this was the Ian
guage held by the Presidents ohicia
press towards the American Senate, ant
yet that same press now has the effron
terry to deny that it ever intimated thai
the Senate was useless body.
But, Mr. Speaker, in pursuing the in
dividual ISLANDERS of the Globe, l have
depressed little from my promise tc
show that the Government press alsc
does wholesale SANDER business ant
throws its poisoned shafts at masses O
men-yes, sir, at the great body of thu
People themselves. l beg leave now tt
read that part of the article from tn,
Government press which before alluded
to, announcing the result of the Senate
rial election then recently held in Ohio
Referring to the distric! which l have
the honor to represent in this body, thu
Presidents official organ says
"The bank held immense power il
his my district, and exerted its money
ed influence in aid of the Federal party
which has stronger hold in that quartz
than in any other part of Ohio. 1t sue
ceeded by a small majority in electin|
MIR Bond the collector Of its bonds there
lie may be looked upon as the repre-
sentative of reprieved debtors."
After the vile ISLANDERS which tn
Government press has waatonly heape'
