A NEW PUBLIC DEBT OF FIVE MILLIONS
OF DOLLARSl!

The Treasury Note Bill, which passed thu
House of Representatives on Friday night
was taken up in the Senate yesterday; ane
aiiera "by authority exposition from Mr.
HUBBARD. (who, in the absence Of Mr.
WRIGHT, acted as the financial representative
OF the administration)-an able and instruc
tive speech from Mr.. Webster, worthy of hi
commanding powers of argument ;---and I
brief but animated and interesting discussion
by other members, it passed that body also.
1t may be now regarded as the law of the
land for the President, as is presumed,
would hasten to affix his signature to this SC
much desired measure.
Mr. Webster truly designated the bill when
he said that, throwing aside technically, and
pecuiarites as to the mode of borrowing, this
was simple proposition TO BORROW FIVE
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Because, as often as
the notes come in, the Secretary may issue
them, and give these reissues year to run
The substantial operation is to borrow-repay
borrow so OIL, for two years.
Mr. HUBBARD himself, when pressed by
Mr.. Webster was obliged to confess that it was
proposal to borrow money and Mr. BEN
TON opposed the bill in debate and voted
against it, on the ground that as it was ncces-
sary TO borrow money to meet the demands
If the Government, direct loan was pre-
ferable to the issue of Treasury Notes.
The administration has been laborng stea-
div 10 deceive the people in regard to the
true character of the measure. They have
been afraid to come forward openly and tell
the country the plain truth. They talk OF
anticipating the revenue; but not man IN
the party believes that the notes now autho-
rzed 10 be issued will be redeemed within the
year, except by a reissue. The debt now
incurred will only be paid by borrowing again.
They dread the political consequences OF pre-
sen,ng themselves to Congress and the coun-
try, in lie attitude Of asking for authority to
incur public debt by a direct loan. But,
the truth is, this administration has been bor-
rowing money from the first session Of Con-
grcss held under it in 1897 down to this mo-
ment. At that extra session it borrowed
money which has never yet been repaid but
by means of borrowing again and at high
interest.
Mr.. Webster presented these truths very
strongly and conclusively; and took occasion
to add that whoever should be al the head OF
the Government in lS4l, would find public
debt which was begun in 1887, by the party
now in power; and which must be provided
for by some other means than by Treasury
notes, bearing high rate of interest lie
made this declaration now, so as hereafter to
preclude the idea that, if succeeding adj
mnistration should find il necessary to fund
the debt now existing, that administration
should be held responsible, as originating a
national debt.

Of highlands which CANDY possibility divide
such waters.
II is equally certain that the highlands d.
yidng these waters exist, and that u iine que
north from the monument can be run, ana
will fall upon them, and reach a point answer
ing exactly to the treaty.
These are facts which no ingenuity can ever
alter or modify and we are led TO inquire how
Great Britain can evade or resist their force
She can neither do the one or the other sue
cesfully VI
She contends, FIRST, that there are no high
lands so dividing the waters, because the RI
vers running towards the Atlantic all fall into
bays Of the sea instead of the sea itself. She
thus contends, that river running through
bay into the sea does not fall into the sea =
and that bays are not parts Of the sea. Bays
are, however, only parts OF the great sea
which have had names assigned to them, and
are not the less portion Of the sea because
OF these names. 1t might as well be said the
No'i " "cAiCo 10 ho Poit VI tHO sou 80
sides, il is agreed that the commissioners who
made the treaty, had before them MitchePs
map Of this part OF the country-on which all
the rivers are laid down as running through
bays-which proves, conclusively, that in
speaking of rivers falling into the sea, they
meant those flowing through bays, and could
mean no others
Then, again, Great Britain has concluded
that by highlands, is meant Notwithstanding
the treaty only requires land high enough to
divide the waters. But, in truth, the general
range is elevated, as has been ascertained
over 1000 feet above the sea.
This is all the justification Great Britain has
for all this delay and controversy. A jury in
Westminster Hall, of her own citizens, would
decide against her without leaving the box.
Now, let us take care that matters do MOI
get COMPOUNDED by the ingenuity Of the diPlo.
ma,ists. We are, at this moment, in danger
of falling into a controversy about an agree
ment made last gear about the occupancy o
,chat is called The disputed Territory. Let US
take care that attention is not diverted from
tho true question by this unmportant matter
We should hold firmly to the treaty, and the
line described in it, for Great Britain can never
put Us in the wrong here. Our right is clear
strong--decisive. 1t is easily understood b,
the most careless observer, and there is ne
possibility Of mystifying it, or rendering j
doubtful.

1t is really amusing to witness the efforts OF the
Opposition party, in endoavoring to convince the
"good people" that the members of the Democrat
ic party are leaving it and joining the wing
ranks If they had not been guilty of the same
deception on former occasions, they, perhaps might
create the belief that such was the case now. Ev-
cry Democrat well remembers, that in 1928 the
. hero Of New Orleans was DEFEATED long before
the election; and then as now, their papers were
filed with changes" revolutions" &c. Every
Democrat well remembers, that in 1882 General
Jackson stood no chance of being elected and
long before the result was known, the Opposition
had their candidate elected. Every Democrat
well remembers that in 1886, Martin Van Buren,
''stood possible chance of being elected Presi-
dent" Loudly did they then declaim against his
"non-committalism' and "that he could not reach
the Presidential chair through the influence Of his
predecessor" the illustrious Jackson. Most GER
tainy every Democrat well remembers that such
was the case, even if the Opposition hare forgot
ten IL!
That they are acting the same ridiculous farce
at the present time admits of no doubt. If erer
the Democratic party were certain of success,
THAT time is no,c. Notwithstanding the efforts
made use of to deceive the People, and hide
the correct issue from them, the prospect
from every section of the Union is truly cncoura-
T., ging. The Democratic family is thoroughly uni.
ted, and their fate may well be known by asking
the simple question, "Haw they erer been defeated
trhen so u,,ited?" We answer, No. Never
The prospects in Kentucky are truly of I
cheering character. A number of the most prom
inent members of the wing party are now arrayins
themselves on the side of the People in their en-
deavors to separate the banking institutions from
the fiscal concerns of the Government. Wher

NENt PrCsiitniial Election.

We cannot believe that the people of
this country can be made TO support a
man for the Presidency who conceals from
them his political sentiments. More es-
pesially, at this present time, when the
struggles and embarrassments. which the
vicious banking policy of the country en-
tailed upon ms, are about to be terminated
forever. We candidly believe that the
people never had as much at stake in the
result of any election from the days Of the
elder Adams down as in the present. If
the democracy are defeated, the tolls
which they have Undergone, the Affections
which they have suffered will be frutless;
and the reforms in government policy, for
which they have been so long and labori-
ously struggling, will be wrcsted from
them.
Is il not essential, then, that the course
of policy TO be pursued by Gen. Harri-
son should be distinctly marked, that a
plain and definite issue may be made.
What man ever desired the suh'rages OF
his fellow-citizens before without first
frankly ayowing his views of great and

Gen. Harrison, fellow-citizens, is in
favor of a BANK that will swallow up the
government and the people; and, if his
party once get the power, they will char
ter one which shall last perpetually, il
they can. This is the reason why he is
not permitted to speak! Do not be de-
ceived by the pretended gratitude Of this
swindling faction for the services of Gen.
eral Harrison. 1t is all interest, interest,
INTEREST that governs them. The noble
feelings of gratitude never warmed into
life a generous feeling in their cold, cal
culating, selfish breasts! If General Har-
rison had been opposed to Bank, he
would have been whistled off, aud all
these hypocritical cries about the war
worn soldier would have never walked an
echo among the hills and vallies of our
country. His name would have reposed
III the stiffness of oblivion.
This restless, ambitious faction, with
the same leaders, Webster, Clay and 9TH
ers, where was it in 1923 and 1892, when
that brave soldier and accomplished civil
Ian, General Jackson, was candidate for
the Presidency! Did you hear, then,
reader, that any thing was due to the time
worn veteran, for distinguished services
in the field! No, nothing. The tongue,
now so eloquent in gratitude, was then
dipped in gall and NORWOOD. Instead
of receiving the reward so nobly earned
in life of tolls and privations, not even
simple justice could be done him by those
now so grateful Do you wish to know
the secret of all this? General Jackson
was Democrat, opposed TO Federalism
and hostile to National Bank! He was
not a wing! He was not interested in
carrying out their schemes of personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and the sense of gratitude
never penetrated thcir ouls.-Chi. Dem

Penn.yivania---"Oid Democratic BcrIs.r,


We discover that the Opposition are calculating
largely upon carrying Pennsylvania at the APP
proayhing Presidential election. We take the
following paragraph from the Jefferson Democrat,
published in "Old Berks," the fountain head of
Democracy of the Union. AS she goes, goes
the State. Pennsylvania is safe.
"Old Democratic Bcrks" has again got the
right spAit infused in her democratic sons, and
she will give a stronger pull for Martin Van Blu
rem and Richard M. johnson than she did in 1886,
when she gave for her favortes majority of 1884!
This she can do and this she will do. Mark our
predictian!
