We take 1t that the facts of our financial

bear the burden Of O national debt. Now,
judged By comparison with the debts Of other
nations, the debt that VIC have TO boar is not
large for our strength, and ought not to trouble
the steadness OF our footsteps. Nations not so
strong as we are bear easily debts much greater
than ours is. We ought, therefore, to bear this
debt well; but the truth still Is that there are
"embarrassments," aud that the national credit
is not what in view Of the facts, II ought to be.
Our national pursekeeper should fiud remedy
for this, and he does not lie shifts the burden
on to the shoulders Of Congress- collection
OF politicians familiar with no single fact or
cept the prioe Of convention. Mr.. Fessenden
exhibits an entire want Of that grasp OF tho
subject under his control that would give the
people firm confdencein the national finances.
He has not any original power. lie has studied
finances all his life, and he Is satisfied to give
debtor and creditor return OF the national ac-
count, to make some feeble recommendation to
Congress, and leave the subject In that way.
He is not the man for the place, therefore, any
more than Mr.. Chase was. II is said that Mr.
Fessenden's health Is poor, that hc is not robust
enough for the arduous duties of bis position,
and that he holds il against his inclination.
He ought not to do SO. Robust physical health
and the clear and vigorous Intellect tnat goes

Tessendon ought to resign. BY that means no

This gallant officer, lately the leader
of the New York democracy, and
whom some copperhead papers publish
as a supporter of Mcclellan, made a
short address at Philadelphia the 9TH
er day, an extract from which we com
mend to honest democrats Of this coun-
ty. He said:
have not felt that it was altogether ap-
proprlate for one in the military service to
be conspicuous as partisan, but do not
like to lose any opportunity to give what
encouragement [ can, by counsel, presence,
and association, to those who are perform
ing the most important duty that has ever
devolved upon people who had liberty to
uphold, the duty which will be accomplished
at the coming Presidential election. The
nation is on trial before mankind and his.
tory 1t is now, if ever, to prove to the
world whether people are capable of self
government We must rise superior to the
temptations to miserable peace which
taxes, the expenditures of the war, and
personal sacrifices hold out, if we would save
the Republic. My faith is as yet unshaken
In the people. know it is astounding to
see thousands and tens of thousands of men
In Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana arraved
against what we know to be right, and it ;s
calculated to discourage aud uoaken the
confidence of the friends of free institutions
How is it possible that SO MANY can be for
submission, when resistance is dnty which
God has implanted in our nature? It is
amazing to find men craven and wretched
enough to propose submission to our inso-
lent foes, and more amazing still. to find
them trying to do this iu the name of the
Democratic party. When | meet nv old
comrades OF that party | am unable to dis
cover any truth we ever cherished that 7
do not cherish to-day. and, for one. | am
certain that IT Jackson, Douglas, and Jef.
ferson, and such men, who have led the
Democracy, were with us TODAY. every ono
OF them would denounce the Chicaoo Mat.
torn, and every one would maintain the
Union platform. You may fancy that Il
requires some pluck to look she'll and bnl.
lets In the face on the battle field Won
can get used to them. But it reouireq
greater courage for man who has hean
many years closely identified with a nolit;.
cal organization to cut loose from il and
lace the thousand -tongued monster of Sian.
der and denunciation for the sake of the
right. <
