DOn't Admit II.

The Republican party has not yet pro-
posed to interfere Nth Slavery in he SIavc
States, and some good honest souls have
been simple enough tu believe that it never
would propose 10 interfere. Even Geritt
Smith, rank abolitionist as he is, must have
thought SO, whe he said that the Rep. blcan
party admitted the legality of Slavery in The
Stare States. But the National Era, the
National Republican organ, declares:
"Mr. Smith is quite mistaken in repre-.
senting the Republican party as admitting
the legality Of slavery in the slave States. -
When and where has il been admitted No
proof OF the statement can be produced"
The Era is right. The Republican party
never has admitted the legality ofslavery any
place, and large portion Of the Republican
party Of Ohio declare that slavery is a direct
violation of The Constitution Of the United
States, and therefore void.
Let the principle Of the sorereign power Of
Congress over the people Of the territories
to which The Republican party is pledged
be once established, and mark our words
the next step will be the sovereign porrer Of
Congress over the people Of the States. Then
will the abolitionists raise the cry Of abOli.
tion Of Slavery in the States, and they will
claim that it is odiouS, institutional, sub.
versive Of the rights of the people, and alb
horrent to the moral sense of the civilized
world, precisely as they now talk Of the Fu-
gitiye.slaYe law.

Loaning out Public Punds.

Some people, good honest souls, think that
the Independent Treasury is bad system
for the reason that the Treasurers, both State
and County, are bound to keep the money
locked up until called for, in pursuance Of
law, to pay the public creditors, and they say
that as safe system as any is the one Of
loaDing the money on interest, taking secu-
rity the came as do the banks. Now, we OBJ
ject to making the Treasury Of Ohio shaw
ing shop. We protest against giving our
Treasurers license 70 bank and speculate
with the public funds. 1t is a bad and per-
nicious system, and the people are heartily
sick of it. Bot, if those who favorit are sim
cere, they should go the entire swine, and
advocate the election of a Cashier, board of
Directors, Secretary and President! Throw
off the fimsey disguise, gentlemen, and come
out boldly in favor Of making our State Treas
ury a huge Bank with branch in each
County.

Tne United states Treasury.

Reports from Washington. say that the
national treasury is empty: The power to
reissue treasury notes as they came in ceased
on the first of January and the bids for the
new loan of ten millions have not yet been
received and opened and it will be some
weeks before money from this source can be
realized. The question of what is to be
done for the future wants of the treasury
begins to press with disagreeable urgency
upon the Administration and its friends in
the House. The Chairman of the Commit
tee on Ways and Means has already informed
the faithful adherents Of Mr.. Buchanan that
they must prepare themselves to support and
defend a billauthorizing a new loan for $40,
OOGO0O or an issue of treasury notes to
that amount to carry the Government
through the year 1859. There are no other
resources but q loan or an increase of du-
ties; to attempt the latter would destroy
the party at the South and the existence O
a debt Of S80000000, created by an Ad-
ministration in two years OF profound
peace, would wreck the party in the canvas
of 1850, both in the East and West. iita=a
The Republicans will oppose any tfnrthe
loans and Will insist on an increase of dutie
sufficient to create an adequate reFenue.-
The Administration is coming to the dea'
point in its financial policy it must hay
the aid of some of its opponents to carry
| over it. Ge

AZ
Bogus Senator Fiteh's speech at Indianl
apolis on Friday evening, was an unfortu-
nate effort for himself and his party. 1t
served only to make the speaker more
odious, and exasperate the feelings of the
anti-Lecompton Democrats against the
Bright faction He strongly favored the
Lecompton Constitution, and said the Eng
lish bill should have been satisfactory to
every Democrat. He showed the most un-
relenting hate to Mr. Douglas and denoune-
ed him as the immediate cause of all the
difficulty in the Democratic party. He said
that Douglas 'separated himself from bis
political associates by the most reckless
course of conduct, and his friends now had
the audacity to cry out that he was perse-
cuted." "He hoped the matter was ended,
but he had fears the end was not yet" He
evinced an under current of hostility to the
Little Giant that was bitter, determinate,
and belligerenta He showed that the be
comptonites had determined to make wal
on him to the knife--that the whole power
of the Administration should be brought tC

DEAASD FOR lRoN.-Senator Cooper, OF
Pennsylvania, in a recent speech before
meeting of iron masters in Philadelphia,
said SO iAi2es s. a3..ii A}@5ot ts
Every day is adding to the use in which
iron is employed, and no assignable limits
to its use can be set. We have seen already
that if the production in England and the
United States should progress in the same
ratio until the end of the century which it
has done for the last ten years, that the uni
ted make of the two countries in 1900 win
have attained nearly ], 100000 tons annu-
ally, or fourteen times the amount produced
in 1855 by the whole world. Such an esti-
mate is startling to common sense, and yet
in view of the extending increase of its
consumption in all imaginable directions
who shall say that the estimate is too large
But it is not my purpose to do more than
| call attention to the subject, and to state
that this trade will be monopolized in a
great measure by England and the United
| States, or one or the other of them. IF We
! are true to ourselves, and the Government
true to the interests of the people, victory in
this race for commercial dominion must re-
main with as. England. now stands first
in the commercial nations; but we are not
so far behind her as to feel any discourage
ment. Even now, if. the amount of her iron
[ exports be deducted from the aggregate OF
all the rest and added to ours we shall be
scarcely behind. Give us ten years of pros
perity, with an adequate amount of protec-
ton, and we shall be in advance of our
mighty rival, who has so long rejoiced in
I the proud but nerited. title of the mistress OF
the seas. So
