The Presidency.

The sentiment Of Ohio in regard to
who shall be the nominee Of the Cincin-
natl Convention, as the standard-bearer
of the Democracy in the contest of 1856,
is developing itself slowly but certainly.
One after another, the democratic papers
of the State are expressing their prefer
enec, and indicating popular sentiment in
the various sections thereof.
1.-THE Spirit of Democracy" the organ
of the democratic party of gallant Mon

Things Generally.

The news by the latest steamer from
Europe indicates that the peace conference
is not very harmonious, and preparations
Tor continuing the war are constantly GO
ing on. Notwithstanding this, the great
est confidence is felt that q peace will
speedily ensue.
The excitement in England in regard
to the war with the United States has en-
tirely subsidized. The difficulty, however,
seems about as far from being adjusted as
at any time heretofore, but there is a stron-
ger disposition to settle it peaceably.
We have no late news of Importance
from Kansas. The Legislature is ann
sing itself by passing laws, but as they
are not to be enforced until after the Con-
gress of the United States adopts the
Constitution under which it acts, and re-
ceiyes Kansas into the Union as a State,
there is no danger of a, collision between
these laws and those Of the former Legis-
lature.
Congress has passed the resolution TO
appoint a committee with power to send
for persons aud papers in the Kansas
contested election case. Wemay be mis-
taken, but it is our opinion that the prin-
cipal object in raising, and thus empow-
ering this committee, is, that it may re-
port a document for the Fasionists to
electioneer with, in the next Presidential
campaign. This being the case VIC can
easily estimate the fairness other report.
There is no news af the steamer Paci-
fc, aud in all probability aercr will be
any. 1t is now about Two months since
she left Liverpool fur S.x York, since

The NJ Y. Mirror says that there can
be little doubt that the American power
and influence of Nicaragua will soon be
felt in the surrounding States; and in the
end a Union will take place, calculated to
give the movement a formidable aspect.
Tho Editor adds
Looking ever the history of the Walker

ing the numbers, but lacking the means
were in danger of being overcome. N
this emergency, they entered into a ar-
rangcmcnt with General Walker TO aid
them in their contest. Gen. Walker
came, and we need not repeat the famil-

The Poor Mans Party.

The mission of the Republican party of
Ohio is to reform the abuses Of its pre-
decessors; it is emphatically the poor
mans party.-Erchanye.
The Legislature appears to be impress
scd with the idea that this is the poor
mans party, and that in order to MAINTAIN
it they mast keep the majority Of the
people poor. If they were permitted to
retain power for a few years there would
be poor people enough in Oaio to sustain
any party.

For the esprit"
saterest OF Money--Conapetition

Mr.. Ep1ToR:-Disapprobation of the
attempts of our present rulers at Colum-
bus to favor the banks. by preventing in
diyidual loans has induced me to send
some essays to your paper on the subject
of interest. But if a higher rate of in
terest is not forbidden by law, how shall
We keep ourselves from being imposed on?
Neighbor, how do you avoid imposition in
other cases? Suppose your wealthy and
respectable Wing ~neighbor, not content
with the profits of his bank
stock, goes on to Wheeling, or Pittsburg,
or Baltimore, or Philadelphia, and pur-
chases goods, which he retails to you at
one hundred per cent. advance. You
discover this and think it too mach for
fetching goods from one of those cities.
What then? Why you quit him and go
and d al with some merchant who viii be
content with fifty or sixty per cent. profit,
or ever with thirty-fve or forty, if so rare
a bird can lie found. Now, deal the
same way with the money-lender. If lie
demands eight OF nine per cent. per an
mum, for his capital, go to some one who
will lend for six or seven. The market
rate is always a fair one. Fer if the
price of any commodity, be it what it may,
money or other property, is, too high,
some one, in order to secure the market
to himself, will offer the article at a lower
rate. Hence the market falls. We have
lately seen q very high price of wheat,
To a person acquainted withthe subject, this
is evidence that taking the whole CONNER
cal world, Europe and America together,
The supply of wheat was too scanty for the
number of inhabitants. Had any artifi-
cial arrangement kept down the price Of
wheat here, whole provinces in Europe
would have been d~epopulated by famine.
Oh, there is not under Gods heavens
a greater nuisance* than a little, ignorant,
meddiing being, who gets himself elected
to a Legislative Assembly without the
proper preparation of liberal knowledge.
/ find that Mr.. David Hume SO fully
concurs with me on this subject, that !
shall make no apology for a quotation
from that able and ingenious, political
economist:
"IIigh interest arises from three cir.
c~umstances: a great demand for borrow
ing, little riches to supply that demand,
and great profits arising from commerce.
Low interest, or the other hand, proceeds
from the three opposite circumstances
a small demand for borrowing, great riches
10 supply that demand, and small profits
arising from ."-Hun,c's Is
Says, Vol, ], p. SIS.
1.-The plenty diminishes the price and
makes the lenders accept of a low inter
est."-Same Vol, p. 32I.
No doubt imposition or extortion in

all other cases, ought to be treated as a
fraud and repressed by the Courts.
