s'The results OF the recent elections glorious
Every Democratic talksr and writer ought to be en-
gagged IN keeping principles fresh III tie mnGs o
The people, and IN squirting up cur public servants T.
lively sense Of tie responsibility resting upon thrm
whether they be in minority majority. We mus
not spend al! breath rejoicing al victories
mlhiaI about our principles and measures. We mus
toe The mark and sci! We must exert ourselves, NJ
only in exposing tic iniqultics Of opponents bu

our ranks, who have temporarily acted with ou
opponents, upon questions concerning our prrsen
Banking System, and III other measures connecte,
with the finances and currency Of the country, ough
10 reiTace their steps, and aid IN uRcading the vel
in which They have cntangled us, by the lndu gen
ces and the unjust and ami; Republican privilege,
which they have extended 10 I'll. Banks. II We d,

10 Tia, standard and hold them 10 il, shall bt
safe and our Democracy will become term Of re-
proach, 10 be Kissed al By triumphant scrub arsto
cracy, and lis serye dependents
why il, that paper. and speakers sag little

tolerate Bank notes for large transactions, provided
they allow us specie Tor retail operations: They
deny us even that but 60 FOR small notes and SHIN pas
,crs mad for allowing the Banks to cast contempt upon
tie laws, and the lawmakng power. Witness the re-
charter OF the Banks in the District If Columbia whilst
they were standing in violation d: their charters.
They not only recharered them, but allowed them 10
deal IN and make profits upon Irredeemabie slnpas

very moment that they were cunorng about The state
Of the currency, and for great Bank 10 regulate it,.
Their acts brand them with hypocrisy-and orators

their dcuded followers.

10 report preamble and resolutions expressive Of the
sentiments OF old Halifax, upon the measures Of the
dominant party-and we shall, of course, not neglect
the currency question We are slow to meet but sure
