THE CINCINNATI REPUBLICAN.

Mr.. Joseph Graham has assumed the edito-
rial charge Of the Republican. We subjoin a
quotation from his first essay;
tour neighbor Of the Gazette, some days since,
gave it as an con dit" that the Republican was about
to become "TYLER paper" We acknow ledge our
obligations to that editor for his kindness in portray
ing our future course but prefer being the expo
nent Of our own views. We are not willing to be
hedded" in pursuing the course we deem polite and
proper willing TO be beheaded before we are
guilty of an offence against our party, the interests
of the country.
We shall continue to advocate the same principles
for which we commended during our struggle TO elevate
Gen. Harrison to the Presidency but shall endea-
yor To do il in such manner not to increase the
strength of the party against which have contend
ed for the last twelve years
"Mr. Tyler is cur President, and ,ciH be-, till the
4h of March, 1915. We shall speak of his course
and of him with the respect due to his station When
differ from him we will say 50 frankly and distinct
ing him Traitor because he may differ from large
majority of the Wings upon important measure
We think the interests Of the country may be better
promoted by endeavorng to make the best use in
power Of the victory achieved in 1910, than by com
menclng NOW, struggle for the succession in 1874.
For twelve long years party have been struggling
to climb the hill of power. Our opponents had all
the advantage of position, but stout hearts and deter
mined perseverance enabled to overcome all obsta
cles. Before we accomplished all we intended, an
unfortunate explosion has thrown us part of the way
back; we think it easier to regain the summit from
present position, than to go entirely to the bottom
that we may take fresh start We shall continue
TO contend for what believe to be the best interests
OF the country, without wearing the livery Of any
man, and without being ambitious TO acquire the re-
putation of ultra or violent partisan So much for
our political course

FISCALITIES.

The Executive is putting forth, through the Madi-
sonian plans for furnishing currency by the aid OF
the public revenue. DiscaIding the mere TECHNICAL
ties Of these schemes they all return TO the principle
of Mr.. Van Burens Subtreasury The idea is pre-
csely the 1t is that of making Treasury Notes
circulation to be redeemed out of the public revenue
This plan was To have been made in Mr. Van Buren, &
Administration perpetual and in this way would have
become in all respects Government Bank. Ii failed
then, and is TO be revived under the name of Fs-
cal Agent. The object in both instances is the same
1t is to increase Executive power Cincinnati Giro
nicie.
The above is tolerable specimen of the fair
ness of the ultra Wing Bank press, false alike
in its premises and its conclusions. The Exc
cutve" has put forth no plan for furnishing a
currency, either Through the Madisonian" OF
any other channel Nor is any Sub-treasurv''
to be revived "under the name Of Fiscal Agent,
nor is any plan of any description to be revived
or dreamt of having for its object the increase
of Executive power"
So far as the views of the Executive are
known or have been expressed, they are firmly
and actively opposed alike to Sub treasuryism,
Loco-tocoism, Federalism, and Centralism.-
His instructions to the Post Office Department
afford notable example of his contempt of the
power of federal patronage, and his communi-
cations TO Congress bear ample testimony not
only to his indisposition to assume power, but
TO his desire, repeatedly expressed, TO have even
his lawful powers regulated and diminished
The paragraph from the Chronicle affords us
an occasion to make another remark So long
we control press we shall exercise !" the
right to publish and the power to exclude" ac-
cording TO the dictates Of our own private judg-
ment We shall ask Of no party, nor of any man
or earthly power, the privilege of free inquiry
1t is right inherent, derived from the God of
Truth, above and before the law and the Con
stitution The manner in which we have been
treated for publishing communications on differ
ent subjects, we regard as fragrant outrage
upon the liberty of the press The manner in
which we have been denounced for expressing
our opinions, we consider as indicative of spi-
rt of intolerance and tyranny, that is secuted
and scorned by every free principle of the age.
We shall despise il and resist it, SO long as the
rack and torture leave us muscle quvering, in
whatever party it makes its appearance.
The following sound resolution adopted at
recent convention of the Democratic Wings Of
Erie county, N Y, corresponds with the views
we entertain on this subject:
Resoired, That the intelligence of the age and
healthy spirit of inquiry warrant free and ndepen-
dent examination and discussion of all public mea-
sures and that differences of opinion may grow out
of honest convictions as well sectional interests
andthat concession and forbearance necessary
TO carry the true principles Of the government"
as they were to the adoption of the Constitution it
self

for observation while in Europe, have doubtless
afforded materials Of variety and interest with

The Norfolk Beacon of Monday has the following
notice of the manifestations of respect paid TO Pres

The Norfolk Herald of Monday says Presi-
dent Tyler left this morning before o'clock in the
steamer Poinset, for Williamsburg, his private resi-
dence. As the Poinsett pas ed the Pennsylvania and

President three hearty and sentoran cheers that

We find in the Montpelier Waterman the cores
pondence between Governor Jenson Of Vermont,
and Sir Richard Jackson, acting Governor Of Canada,
on the subject ofthe arrest Of James w. Grogan, IL
Is highly credable to both.
Gov. Jenson wrote on the 29h Of tp,ember brief
ly describing the outrage, and requesting immediate
investigation and the release Of Grosan
Sir Richard Jackson wrote in reply On the 9th Of
October at Kingston, that Immediately receiving
intelligence of the transaction, and before receiving
the letter Of Governor Jenison he had directed the
matter 70 be investigated, with orders for the imned-
ate release Of Grgan if it should appear that he had
been seized within the United States.

A lunatic pensioncr Of Greenwich,
England, named Richard Weeks, has
recently had the nice sum Of I20, 200
bequcathcd to him by an Aunt. Owing
to his lunacy his vile takes the dispo-
sal of the property. She is said TO be
Il person Of manners much superior to
her station, and has heretofore supper
ted herself and family by needle-work,
Thus by keeping honest, respectable,
and industrious, though poor and bit
tcrly afflicted by the lunacy Of her hus-
band, she has at length found reward
and her last days will probably be pas
sed in comparative happiness and com
fort.

CALUMNY REFuTED.--Certain politi-
cal lecturers in favor Of free suffrage,
who visited this town last Thursday eve
ming, boastod, in a public meeting at the
State House, and in private conferences,
that His Excellency, Gov. KING, had
como out on their side, would vote in ia
vor Of their party, SC. We have seen
a letter from our worthy Governor to his
friend in this town, in which he says,
in the most positive manner, that the
statements alluded to are destitute Of any
foundation in truth--that he has uniform
ly expressed his sentiments against the
doings of the suffrage party ;--and ex-
presses his astonshment that any such
statements should have been made.

We have been requested to call the
attention Of our citizens to n subject,
which interests not merely portion
of but the community generally. 1t is
the ineflicicncy Of our Town Watch,
as regards numbers particularly. The
necessity for stronger watch, has more
than once been felt of late, and we
will at present mention ono instance
only for the information Of the public.
Night before Christmas, Friday last
somo lads were returning home at late
hour (bctwesn s. p when they were
assaulted in Thames-strect, near Mary
st., by several U. S. soldiers, belonging
to the troops at Fort Adams, and one
Of the lads was brutally beaten by them.
His distressing cries Of murder, &c.
awakened the neighbors from sleep,
who were, as might be supposed, much
alarmed, and who Immediately went out
TO ascertain what the matter was. nc
boy was at once rescued from the grasp
Of the assassins, but not one Of the
Watch, who soon came to the spot,
dared to interfere on account Of the
smallness of their number, to arrest
these midnight disturbcrs of the peace
and they were, consequently, per-
mitted still to roam ut large.
IL there is no other way TO prevent
our citizens being disturbed at al
hours Of the night, by the u. 5. soldiers
stationed here, we should recommend
double watch, of men not afraid to dc
their duty, in any emergency. We
hope, however. that the commander o
the Garrison will interposc his aid, th'
most efficient Of any that can be offer
cd, and prevent his soldiers from re
naming in town after sunset.
