DEATH OF REV. DR.. MAY.

Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1863-09-28

A Democratic friend, Drofessedly so at least,
finds fault with us for publishing some articles
criticizing unfavorabIy the national currency act.
His argument is, that we must have a paper
banking system, that it is a necessary evil. hence
there should be no opposition to the proposed
national banking scheme which received the
sanction of Congress at its last session. We
make no war upon individuals who may engage
in the business Of banking under that law, but
we oppose the system as at war with every prin-
eiple of sound political economy. The Democ-
racy, under the lead Of JACKSON, made war
against a national banking system as not only .
dangerous political power, calculated to subvert
and overthrow public liberty, but as a
financial error. A currency which has no real
value and which can be indefinitely expanded,
must produce commercial revulsions, with the
wide spread evil they occasion. A paper curren-
cy system may stimulate prosperity for a while.
but il is an unhealthy excitement which is certain
to meet with a prostrating reaction. The 6nan-
cial revulsions which have occurred in our ma
tionaI experience had their origin in an undue ex-
psnsiou of private and public credit. as unsubstan-
tial as the soap buildings blown from a pipe. Is
it wise craftsmanship to base private and public
enterprise upon a foundation of sand, which the
first storm will wash awayf
1t is universal experience that the true basis of
permanent nationl prosperity and progress is a
currency Of actual value. Is il not then
an evidence Of political wisdom and
sagacity to adhere to principles and
to a policy which will produce those results? And
it is the duty of political parties and public men,
may we not say it should be their controlling
object. to be guided by those principles and be
governed by that policy which will best advance
the welfare and the happiness of the people indi-
vidually and collectively.
The tendency of a national banking system is
TO c~entralize power. The fathers of the republic,
10 framing its governmental institutions. antici-
pated this danger, and guarded against it by pro-
viding checks against encroachments upon popular
rights and civil liberty from that source. The
experience of the past two years has proven the
the correctness of those apprehensions.
The decline and fall of all free
governments have had their origin in the as
sumption of despotic and arbitrary power by the
central authorities. Unless the people of this
country watch and resist these encroachments
our history will be like those of all other nations
that have lost their liberties by permitting rulers
to usurp power Believing that a vast paper cur
rency system, such as is proposed under the
national currency law, is a portion of the ma
chinery to aid the Capitalization of power, for
that reason " e think it should find no favor with
any citizen who desires to perpetuate free institu-
lions.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer quotes the follow

al thank God we we're defeated at Bull Run.
"Lst me tell yoa as sure a. Gods in Heaven

just appreciation Of the nature of our political in
stitutions, that are the leading spirits of the Re-
publican party. When the Government ma
chinery IS run by engineers Of that class, what
9 Ise can be expected but disaster and ruin.

this side of the Blue Ridge though they
may occupy Ashby's and Manassas gaps.
Gen. Pleasanton found none in Snick-

Nothing has been seen of the enemy

Our army Is on the move, and if the
enemy desires to give battle he can come
out of the Shenandoah valley and do so
whenever he pleases.
Every thing was most favorable for
army operations.
We have unauthenticated reports that
the rebel army is retreating down the
valley toward Culpepper.
