The New York Courier and Enquirer admits
that the business affairs of the country were
never in 50 sound aud prosperous condition as
al the present moment-and claims the credit
for The Wing party for passing the Tariii, 10
which IN assure il is all attributed!
Now, admitting (wbich,oi course, we do MOI }
that the Tariff is The sole e,use OF our prosp H.
iy, we think il is no ittle i1pudence which can
induce Clay Wing ediIp 10 claim the credit
OF lis adoption for the ClaylW hig party.
Messrs. Adams, Speaker White, DAVIS
Bots, in short all Of Nj. Clay's "peculia
friends" voted against TIP Tariff bill IN tho
House. Ii was the votes olsome twenty Dem
ccrdts that passed IL in tie House.
In the Senate Messrs. Archer, Berfen, Ora

am by thus offering an inducement 10 ho''u
them2 IL is doubted whether such course
would be recommended by any but Bank dIrec-
tors aud stakeholder, 10 whom such notes AFFORD
convenient means of tempcrary investment.
The truth is that no form can be devised
which is not calculated 10 render Treasury notes
a circulating medium, except heavy rate OF
interest Those heretofore issued have long
constituted and sill constitute considerable
portion Of the circulating medium OF the coun-
try. There are al least TWO millions OF dollars
OF notes, upon which all interest has eeaseu'
now actually outstanding and In circulatlon' ana
withstanding the official notices inviung
their return, they are kept out aud constantly
used for the purpose OF remittance. Acco'u-
ing TO Mr.. Richie, these notes are not
warranted by The Constitution, because thty
were calculated TO be, aud have actually
become circulating medium. He must
deny totally and absolutely the power TO
issue them or he must admit that they may
assume Just such form as convenience and
economy ia the public expenditures require.
| AS 10 any danger from such an issue, the
Eastern paper from which the Richmond En-
quirer quotes, and whose sentiments it endorses,
admits in terms that there can be none shat
the sum is too insignificant TO produce any ter
rbe Effects" but il fears more extensive ope-
raions."
We have already shown that under existing
laws The Who'll. amount cannot exceed i've mil
pp a S{ Be- seh hs5f who seem unwilling
TO employ any instrument in reasonable man
ner, from fear that il may be used unreasona-
bly,, Fire and water, according to their theory,
ought not to be employed 10 a steam engine, be-
cause they may be combined TO such an extent
as TO produce great mischief. The fair and no
nest purpose being to promote he legitimate OBJ
jects OF the Government, the Congress of the
United States can be as safely entrusted with
the power Of determining the extent TO which
Treasury notes may be judiciously applied, as
with any other power conferred on that body by
the Constitution. And when it shall be proposed
by that body TO food the country with an ir-
redeema6le paper currency, it will be time 10
sound the alarm.
Bur, SO long as the Treasury notes are re-
deemable in coin, on demand, an effectual
and most stringent check exists to any
over-issue. 1t seems, therefore, at least pre-
mature TO object to a measure which is admit
ted TO be harmless. because it may be entirely
changed in its character and become dangerous.
There are other views of this subject which
might be presented; but we are admonished by
the length of this article Of the proprieiy of
bringing it TO close.
May we ask of Mr.. Richie the courtesy TO
republish these remarks2

Governor Bouck takes strong and just ground in
opposition to the doctrine Of distr button so pertina-
cousy adhered to by the Wings, in their blind zeal
and fana.ical hope Of retaining power by bribery and
corruption. Whenever we may have redundant
and excessive Treasury and no demands Of justice
and Of onor resting against IT, then, Ond no, till
then, any thing like distribution be advocated by
men in their senses. What policy can be more child

Mr.. PICKENS OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
On close examination Of the speech of Mr.
Pickens, we find that we were in error in sup
posing him to speak "by authority" for any
one but himself The error is made apparent
in the following extracts from his speech:
There never could be any harmony in the great
Republican party but The foundation Of free trade
Hollow and heartcss truce there might be- but no
solid and lasting peace the immoveabe eter-
nal basis of FREE TRADE and the immutsbe, evcrlast

vidsal responsibility, without concert or consultation
with any one.

THE BLOODY WORK.

The Globe and Mr.. Benton finding that nei-
Their coaxing nor threatening and bullying VIII
prevent honest men from sustaining President
wyler's Republican Administration, have adopt
ed the sum mary plan of hanging all refractory
Democrats at the yard-arm, and then throwing
them overheard.
Mr.. Bovine, in his speech of Wednesday,
actuated by the sentiment of principles, not
men, ventured to intimate his appreciation OF
the Democratic course of President Tyler
Immediately the Globe and Mr.. Benton order
ed him 10 be seized aud thrown overheard. So
it appears that the sentiment of principles,
not men," means, in the estimation OF the
Globe and Benton, that Mr.. Pan Buren,, and
nobody else, must be elected in 1914. The
election Of Mr.. Fan Buren, is the great
"cause" alluded TO in the motto Of "every-
thing for the cause, nothing for men," Mr..
Van Buren's election is the cause" This is
a set of to the celebrated 81 fact" Now, who
would not rather possess a "fact" than such a
"csuse 2" The cause may be problematical-
facts are certain. But TO the result
Mr.. Bovine was ordered to be hung up and
thrown overheard without going through the
forms of trial This was 10 be a terrible ex-
ample to deter other rebellious spirits. But most
unfortunate selection Of man was made for this
duty. Mr.. Gordon should not have undertaken
it, Mr.. Bovine revealed the remarkable fact
that this Mr.. Gordon had been in treaty with The
Wings of his district to abandon his party if
they would run him as their candidate for Con-
gress. We said this was an unfortunate selec-
tion--in this we may be mistaken, for it is not
unlikely that the Globe and Mr.. Benton have
formed coalition with the ultra Wings. Be
that as il may, it cannot escape general observa-
tion that all the recent editorial articles of the
Globe and Mr.. Benton copied by the ultra
Wing editors. Nor can il be denied that the
nonsensica balderdash Of Mr.. Gordon was ul-
ira Wing jargon and abuse from beginning TO
end. twas enough 10 seal his fate in his dis
trct with all parties.
SO much for the dictatorial and sanguinary
course Of the Globe and Mr.. Benton. They
