risAscIAL CONDITION or UNITED STATES REVIEW
OF THE REPORT TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
The. New York Herald, commenting upon the report
cf the Federal Secretary of the Treasury says it is
decent public document" and for this it gives Mr. Chase
credit After expressing wish that he equally wise
In his political illusions and inspirations the Herald goes
ia as follows:
n. . a..
as to show what uppermost in his mind In the very
first paragraph Of his report Mr. Chase assails the doc
trne of Stale rights He speaks Of 1.-THE maintenance
of the constitutional supremacy Of the whole people,
through their national government over every State and
every citizen That Is the cardinal Of the radac
Republicans There is no supremacy. The Federal and
State Governments each sovereign and each CO.
ordinate There is no supremacy. Each one in its
sphere which is accurately designated by the Constu
| tion is supreme The idea Of Mr.. Chase, that State
lines aud State governments be ettaced to allew
central government Washington do as peases, is
not ouly nonsense but dangerous doctrine for its
advocates. The people will not permit consolidated gov
ernnen and Mr. Chase will utterly fail in insinuating II
by side wind The State governments, and the rights
thew hold under the Constitution aud the rights they
have reserved which the Constitution has no
control are the great basis Of American liberty. The
Federal Government let Mr. Chase understand Is only an
arrangement of tho sovereign States in their united ca
pacity TO carry out their WILL which they have the pow
10 modify or change al any time they may tnnk pro-
per- The State institutions OF permanent DURATION
and can only be changed respectively by the people of
each State The political dictum OF Mr. Chase, there
/ lore is unsound and it would have been much better
for his reputation had he confined himself 10 the dry
figures of finance and left political matter, to be dealt
with BY others who more conservative in their doc
/ trnes and less dangerous to the nation
But what does Mr.. Chase say of our financial cond-
ous He admits that his Estimates have been rendered
inaccurate by changed circumstances What changed
the circumstances His action and that OF other
leading Aboltiouists in meddlng with the generals and
thus destroying the plans of the campaigns He says
The necessities of the rendered il expedent to call
for three hundred thousand additional volunteers and
make draft of three hundred thousand men 10 addition
TO these The estimates OF course must prove made
quate" What is the true explanation OF thsf The rad
icals of whom Mr.. Chase is leader not content 10
restore the Union underthe constitution as it's
they desire abolish slavery, aud will 60 all lengths To
accomplish IT, Hence the difficulty of subdpng the re-,
beion in the Southern States Moreover they have dis
astrously medded with well conceived campaigns, have
made footballs OF great armies and after thSartng and
batting have removed the ablest and most successful
generals of the day who possessed the confidence Of tue
troops The result OF such policy be to protract
the war; TO load the nation with debt and II long enough
continued break its back at s The estimate 9th
public debt on the LET july 1863 heretofore submitted
saws Mr. Chase must now be advanced in view of the
expected increase in expenditures authorized and INCUR
ed or likely be incurred, 10 81 la 297 IO3-upwsrs
| Of eleven hundred millions OF dollars; and, on
the suppo,itiou that the war may be continued Till
he LIST Of .Iuly 1854 the debt he estimated at
6s5, 5S-upwards Of seventeen hundred millions
TIE probability is that will he nearer to for thousand
millions The ascertained and audited debt is no critic
ron of the real debt and those who desire toproong
the war either to make money out of the calamity OF
the country or abolish slavery have interest in
cealng the truth from the people, who viii have 10 bear
the burden The total receipts and anticipated means
for the present year, expected TO be sufficient for all
| purposes, are in round numbers, S5000JO,0u. The
amount OF deb, incurred il estimated 20 be nearly
ore hou,ani niiors' Hence Nj. Chase fairly enough
warns the couutry that in the ensuing year "the es
mates be in great part coujeciura' Consequently,
according the political and financial systems of the
present Cabinet there Is M knowing where the country
may be landed at the end Of the next fiscal year.
Il worthy of remark that Secretary Chase as II act
ing in concert with Secretary Stanton General llnleck
and thu radical pr attributes thencreased expenditures
of the government to unexpected military delays -
This is fling at General Mcclellan, which the country
| will know how TO appreciate and ia meanly introduced
into financial statement with which IL has nothing to
do The real Of the increased expenditure, how
ever well known to the people, the vote at the
cent elections has amply demonstrated.
On the sob nit, Hiram W Inman, an old citizen OF
Louisville, Ky. shot and killed for shouting for
Dixie when 26j rebel prisoners marched through
