THIS PAPER.-1TT RELATIONS. wiTH THE DEMO
CRATIC PARfY
This paper Is well known as an earnest and
uncompromisng exponent of the principles
which have been cardinal points in the past
course of the radical Democracy Of !hs State.
In common with the larger portion Of that great
section Of the Democratic party Of the Union,
it has taken distinct ground on the vital ques-
ton Of human freedom, which has placed it on
the same platform with those from other pclit.
ical Organizations, who collectively, constitute
the Republican party.
On this question Of freedom, we still cherish
our Interchangeable CONVICTIONS that true democ-
racy will find no warrant for the extension Of
slavery, under any circumstances Of expedieucy
now or hereafter. But we cannot allow that
! this sectional issue should override all others
! 1t has already, doubtless accomplished its most
practical and immediate results, In determining
/ the political institutions Of Kansas, and for all
essential purposes, may be regarded as at rest
/ Other dangers threaten the body pol.tc, which
alike call for our faithful and ceastldSs efforts as
Democrats and as citizens. The times are
! fruitful Of new events and new combinations
become necessary under successive uniodngs
| of circumstances
Underlying all other interests, social politi-
cal and governmental is the fln3ameftal prop
ostion of good currency. 1t is the Incentive
and the reward of iahor; it is the liic-blood Of
! trade; it is the bond that binds people together;
it il the wlsest achievement ola just legislature.
The money crisis which is upon Us, has start
| lngly developed the dangers 0yer which the
people ofAthis country have been slumherjng.
] The volcano, which vents forth its fearful tide
Of lava upon the smiling fields around its base,
spreads no wider dcyastatjob in its raya9es, than
has the banking system of this Union within q
few short weeks. Vet this disastrous result,
widespread and ruinous as it is, shows but q
tithe of the evils that have been suffered from
this cause, year after year, by the producers and
i dealers Of. The country. Phe wages of their Ia.
bor, and the value Of tiieir property, have been
lhe sport OF fluctuations that have dcfed all
prudent forethought, and renders the pursuits O
business but a game OF iiazaad.
| These evils have become so monStrous, that
remedy is imptratiyely called for, Ii must
be a war Of ces-of the laborer ngainst the
bank baron; OF The honest man against the
stock gambler Of justice against fraud; Of the
precious metals against bauk paper.
The Independents Treasury has no nobly de-
monstyated its usefulness. Ii has amply full
filled the hopes Of its projectors, who put il
forth amid a storm Of obloquy, and who en-
cnuntefed the direst vengeance Of the BANKS and
their minons. Had the many millions of gold
which for years past have passed into the vaults
of the Government, and been paid out to the
PttllC hCSil tto'bNu VIC Ddilho,
paper issues based upon them, and discounted
on how much more disastrous would have beer
the financial crash we have Just witnessed!
We want the same useful auxlmries to be
adopted by the several State Governments
This would greatly diminish the power Of thcir
banking systems for harm, as it would matdri-
ally lesson the means on which to base theiI
Z expansions and speculative operations.

tons that the adoption of the EXchequer plan
so ftr as to receive gold and silver on deposit,
and issue treasury certificates therefor to cir
crlate therefor, to circulate as money would
furnish US with a sale and sound currency, OF
the specie basis, combined with the convenience
of paper We propose to further urge the con
sideration OF this measure by the Democracy
of the country.
Looking then to the paramount importonc,
Of securing to the people the benefit OF sount
circulating medium. we must. as journalists
seek to act with that party to which we car
look for the carrying out Of that great reform
1t is needless to add that to the Democratic par
ty alone can we appeal on this issue
The antecedents Of President Buchanon ar,
before the country Heis upon record, as tn,
eloquent advocate Of the constitutional currency
His long experience and practical knowledge o
public and private business, eminently fit hin
for Just action in all matters of national finance
and we cannot doubt that his wisest counsel
will preside over the choice Of remedial meas
iures called for by the public emergency
We, therefore, in view OF the whole ground
deem it a duty paramount to mere personal con
sideratons, that we sustain the Democrats
Administration Of the Nation, so far forth as i
shall in onr humble iudrnent trtl " resnnndt II
the requirements of the Democratic masses. :
This explanation must suffice for the reason
which have mpelIed us to dispIace the Repub
lican State aad County Ticket lately at the heat
of this column, with that of the Democrati
Party.
