TO those who have any curiosity to
know how Mr.. ValIandigham will stand .,
the next Presidential election, we would
call attention to the following extract from
q speech Of his made at his home in Day.
ton. Nothing could have come in better
time or better taste than these remarks Of
this Democrat and honest man. In this
speech he clearly enuncia:es his intentions
relative to Mcclellan, which when carried
out will be but counterpart of his noble
and honorable conduct at the Chicago
Convention, where he made the motion to
make the nomination of Mcclellan unan.
NOUS:
"Mr Vallandigham was next called,
and responded in mastery speech uf
half an hour, which was repeatedly inter.
rupted by cheers.
He spoke in defense of the Democratic
party and Of Safe Rights and Peace, and
in support of the Chicago platform. The
Democratic party was a.State Rights party

and in its success lay the only hope Of
the Republic. The Chicago platform
enuncia.ed its policy aud princi Piles by
authority, and was binding upon every
Democrat, and by them the Democratic
Administration must and should be gov.
erned. 1t was the only authorized expo
sition Of the Democratic creed and he re-
pudiated all others. The unity and har.
mony Of the party were essential to sue
cess, and without success in November the
county was lost. In conclusion hs declared
his purpose to vote for the nominees ofths
Chicago Convention as the only hope of
securing the defeat of Lincoln and the
rescue of the Republic"

The sheapw. Of Coming Events,


Under the above heading the New York
Commercial Adrertiser says there is very
evident disposition among some of the
leading merchan,s Of that city to rid them
selves Of the responsibility of business
The main reason for this is thus stated by
the Adpertiser:
"A false standard of prices has been
created by the legal.tender law, and men
Of large means are afraid to submit the
value Of their property to the violent fuc.
tuation Of values that has resulted.
Business, in fact, has bee ONE little less
than game Of chances, and so soon as
coming events threaten depreciation o.
prices, and conservative men are found
ridden themselves Of merchandise, and
boarding their money or investing it in
securities less subject to depreciation.-
This is but one Of the natural results of
an inflated currency-the embarrassment
Of merchants, and the diversion of money
from commercial investments.

The DECLINE OF GoLD.-The decline in
gold from 2,57 to 1888 since the Chicago
Conven,onmcan be accounted for under
no other hypothesis than the confidence
that capitalists have in the certainty that
Gen. Mcclellan will be elected, and by
that even. they have guarantee for the
preservation of the nation, and eonse.
quent'y its capacity to meet its liabilisies.
II is this conviction that is sending down
gold. While the prospect of the success
Of Lincoln when he was nominated sent it
up to the highest figure yet reached. The
announcement after the election Of the
success Of the Democratic nominees will
bring gold, aud every commodity, down
to q reasonable standard, but the election
of Lincoln would send it up to 500 at
least if it did not make government paper
entirely worthless. Which do the peopA

WARRINGTON CITY, April II, 1864
Col J. b. Fry, ProroH Marshal General:
COLONEL: Your letter Of the 6th instant has
been received, in which you inform me that COM
plants have been made in some instances "that
the enrolments are excessive" and you "request
my opinion as to the legal and most proper mode
Of proceeding under the circumstances herein set
forth.n
In reply, l have the honor to say that the origl-
nal enrolment was made In strict pursuance Of the
provisions Of the act OF March D. 1863, chapter 75
and though some names were omitted which
should have been added, and other names were in.
rertsd which should have been omitted, yet, coz
sidering the novelty OF the law, the great number
OF officers acting under 1t without experience, and
the magnitude and difficulty OF the labor they were
called to peri rm, It IL remarkable that the en-
-rolment was so speedily and correctly made.
In order TO remove, ss far as practicable, any en-
rors from the lists OF Names you issued an order,
No. lol, under date Of November II, 1862 in which
you authorized and required the e1lection Of all
facts necessary for that purpose. This order was
carried into eirct Not willing, however, to leave
untried any means within your power Of discover
Ing mistakes In the enrolment, you went beyond
the acquisitions OF the statutes and ordered print
ed lists OF all the enrolled to be prepared and
made public, so that In every community the eiti.
Gens might.have an opportunity TO aid you In the
performance VI hlBh puplS uuty' WINE pTotect-
log themselves against all liability to bear an un-
equal share OF the public burdens.
Having taken this precAutlOn, and having given
10 all concerned the power TO have all existing
errors corrected, and having amended the list Ae-
oordIng to the best of your Information, the fact
that any mistakes still remain must be owning to
the negligence or wilful fault OF those who now
make complaint. The law requires you to pro-
eeed with the draft, according to the enrolment as
1t stands at the date Of the draft and there is no
Other way for you to perform your duty than to
take the lists then prepared.
II any over draft Is made at the present time
the tXeess will be taken into account In arranging
the quota for the next succeeding draft, II more
