Allison. the historian, has given picture OF
the state of things resulting from The paper
money system of England. adopted to detray the
expenses of the war against France at the close
OF the last and beginning OF this century. The
following paragraph from mis- history tells the
story: -s Irn 81 r. ftM
p 1.-The employ ment of paper money by Great
Britain, permitted. no Doubt only in order TO
carry on continuous war, and To maintain Tor
years the largest armies ever before raised by a
nation But to this system must aiso be attrIb-
uted the final results, which are as disastrous AS
the first effects beneficial and glorious, the
augmentation of prices, the diminished value OF
money, the increase OF expenses. the propagation
of Ambitious ideas, and extravagant habits
amongst all classes of society, reckless specula
ton, prodigsl living and frequent financial re-
verses. immense wages, general appearance OF
prosperity and demorazation among the iaboring
classes ffuctuation OF prices without parallel at
ans period of the world, the creation OF certain
fortunes and the destruction of certain Others, in
fact, a universal Disorder which in its coDse
quences is almost equal TO the disaster of reyolu.

frugaliiy, industry. morality and happiness, have
seen one after the other the misery Of their oc-
cupants; the land Of which they were formed

prietors or the parks of the lately enriched. The
cottages OF the laborers have become sheds for
cattle or have fallen to ruins; meanwhile the
roofs OF the houses OF charity are to be seen
throughout the country During the reign OF
Pitt aud Of his Successors there was an immense
increase in the mansions and villas around the
metropolis. but during the same period how many
thousands of peaceful hamlets have been
abandoned All this has come from The perni-
cious system of taxes and paper money.D

These figures show a startling result. They
should be. well considered. The balance of
trade to be paid in gold for the FIRST three months
of the present year is within fraction of thirty
three millions of dollars. How long could any
nation stand such drain upon its resources with
out national bankruptcy And'yet in the face o.
figures like these. and with the inevitable result
which must follow the present policy of the Gov
eminent and the individual extravaganza of the
people. not thought is given to the matter by
those in authority. or any effort made to remedy
the evil On the other hand five wise Western
Governors, to advance schemes of personal ag-
grandzemeDt, have contracted with Mr. LINCOLN,
on their own account. to withdraw eighty five
thousand from the Northwestern AgricuI-
tural States, just at a time when labor is most
needed to put in the spring crops and tend and har
vest the growing ones. without which the people
at home, the soldiers in the field, and of course
the government itself must suffer. And if we
raise no surplus produce for expectation. we shall
of course have nothing but gold to pay the bal
ance of trade against What then? Can it
be otherwise than bankruptcy general and ind-
vidual1 t.c rer

In his Friday night speech our highly patriotic
and energetic Governor insisted that there was
a circle within a circle in the Democratic party.
There was reasonable organization within IT,
The leaders kept on the outskirts of it, Here
tolore His ExceIency has insisted that the masses
of the Democratic party were loyal. but that the
leaders were disloyal. This is a change of front
1t is an indictment of the integrity Of the Demo
cratic party entire The Governor charges
that not only the leaders but every member Of
the Democratic party is member of treasona-
BILE organization In other words. he insists that
n mgjorty of the people Of Indiana, and in a
republican government cor poPuG is Del
the voice Of the people is the voice Of God-are
disloyai to themselves 1t appears that the Gov
ernor is unwilling that the majority should gov
ern, but on the other hand that the minority
should rule.
Three years ago. and from that period onward,
the Governor has charged that the Democracy of
Indiana and the North west entertained the pur-
pose OF detaching Indiana from the Union and
establishing Northwestern Confederacy. In
his speech or Friday night he reiterates this
charge against the Democratic party. But where
is the evidence to sustain this Infamous accusa-
toni He has none He can produce none. He
has had three long years. with the whole power
of the Government TO aid him. bot. as in the be-
ginning, he has no evidence whatev er to sustain
the vile slaBder.
The Governor has placed himself in predica-
ment from which he cannot escape. After a
diligent search OF three years he has failed to
produce any evidence to sustain his charges Of
disIoyali5 against the Democratic party. The
X. G. C's., so far the Democratic party is
concerned. only exis, in his Imagination. Bot if
he really entertains the idea that an orgsniza;
ton of the character he gives t, is part of the
Democratic organization. We shall regard him, as

al, or as one who is anxious to write himself
