stop Further Paper Money Issues,
anu TAX.

"GOLD, 10" This is All omnousfy high
quotation. 1t means that the greenback dollar
IL worth less than fifty nine cents Of real money;
that prices of all kinds are grayitating TO that
standard; and that the public confidence in the
national currency is quietly but surely waning.
For this alarming State of the finances, there is
but one remedy, which is to stop further issues Of
paper money, and tax.
Gold, 7O>" This is because our inconvertible
paper money is redundant. 1t has been unhealth-
lily swollen from three hundred millions, tie
amount ahoat previous to the war, to somewhere
in the neighborhood of eight hundred millions.
To get back to a normal state of the finances,
these enormous overissues must be reduced, ard
internal taxes the extent of three hundred mil
lions per annum levied. Expansion has caused
the trouble: contraction alone can save it. Will
Congress please put stop to further issues of
paper money. and tax.
"God, 10" Speculation is rampant All
who have money are fevered and mad for great
gins No ore has faith 10 the Government cur
rency, and hence every one is anxious TO increase
the quantity to make up for the loss of inherent
value. The sharp. the enterprisng, the unscru
pulOus. make great fortunes. while the mass OF
the working population is impoverished. The
remedy is for the Government to stop further
issues of paper money, and tax.
"Goi.l, TO-" Extravagance prevades every
department of society. In the midst of war
wastefully lavish OF human life. when every sug-
ges.ion of national feeling should compel our
people to soberness and humility. reye holds
high court and pleasure toys with the hours. The
remedy for all is the stoppage of further paper
money issues, and pitiless taxation.
Gold, 20 =" This adds enormously 70 our ma
tional burdens. The debt we contracting in
deprecated paper must be paid some day in hard
coin-gold dollar for greenback dollars hun
dred ceEts for ffty-nine. This is wasteful and
ridiculous excess tax placed upon posterity at
once needless and cruel To reduce the burdens
OF ourself and children, Secretary Chase
mutt Withdraw his issues Of paper money and
Congress must tax.
"Gold. TO-" Ii will not do any permanent
good for Government to cell the gold in its
Treasury in order to artifcialy cheaper its price
That is a mere make shift-wrong in principle,
aud which will be imperative in practice The
only effect will be TO give gold to people who
want IL nj less than its real market value. We
must consent 10 reduction of paper money U.s.

ton.

The conservative Republican journals in all
parts of the country are taking alarm at the
rious financial operations of Secretary CHASE,
and are beginning to speak out boldly in oppo
sition to them. The Boston Traveller thus
speaks OF the last financial folly:
There are many aud serious objections to theis-
sue of gold certificates in payment Of duties. 1t is
liable to great abuse in fixing new standard Of
value every morning. which may be affected ma
terally for the very purpose of making the du-
ties low on certain DAYS. Combinations for this
operation will doubtless soon be formed under
the present system. and will produce much mis-
chief. by varying greatly the duties which differ
ent classes of importers pay. 1t will be very
easy Tor combination of large importers to
swing their own duties twenty or thirty per cent
lower than those will be obliged to pay who are
side of the ring Another objection is that
il greenbacks are taken for duties, the treasury
will soon be depleted of its gold. and when not
many months hence, the government requires
ninety millions in coin TO pay the interest. il viii
not be found A third objection is. that it is
violation of the act of Congress which declares
that the duties on imports shall be paid only in
gold. A fourth objection is, that il is giving to
the Treasury Department power of favoritism
which is necessarily liable to great abuse, and
collision between the government officers and
reckless commercial spectators.
All this is rank copperheadsm-

says, has gone Republican So il did last year.
The manufacturing interests of the State are

in the future when near one-half of the people Of
such State will boldly Withstand the blandish-
ments Of power, and, amid reproach and con
tumely, in spite of them, we may say, maintain
their principles and integrity.
The Journal also refers to the result OF the
election in this township as cheering sign"
Although the Democrats nominated ticket,
there Vas really no contest. No effort was made
to carry it. There was no canvassing for
its success. In fact there were no tick
cts upon the ground for those who desired to
vote for the Democratic nominees. The Repub-
lcans had the entire field to themselves. Demo
Gratis were not only threatened with violence for
expressing their determination to vote the Demo
cratic ticket but in several cases Democratic vo-
tiers we're roughly handled when offering to vote,

While we concede that township elections are not
always safe criterans OF public sentiment, vet It
is singular that wherever there was a contest in
which the party liz rs were strictly drawn, and a
full vote given, the result show decided gain in
the Democratic vote. Local differences and OBJ
jectionable candidates effect the results of town
ship elections than any other, but aside
from these considerations We can safely assert
that the township elections in Indiana
show most conclusively that the conservs.

sumner ON the Fugitive slave Clause


Some time since that crazy radical, CHARLES
SUMNER. of Massachusetts, made a report to the
United States Senate. from the majority of
committee to whom the subject had been referred
on the fugitive slave clause in the Constitution,
taking the broad ultra abolition ground that this
clause did not refer to slaves at all, contrary to
all the decisions of our courts, State and Fed
eral, from the time Of GEORGE WASHINGTON to
that of ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Among other argr-
ments to show this, SUMNER, referring to tie
Convention that framed the Constitution, ex-
claims:
There sat Oliver Ellsworth, afterwards Chief
Justice, who said in words which strike at all
support Of slavery by the National Government
THE morality wisdom of slavery consid
eratiOns belonging to the States themselves"
There sat Elbridge Gerry afterwards Vice Presi-
den:, who openly declared that 1--WE had nothing
to do with the conduct OF the States to slave
~. but we ought to be careful not to give any
sanction to it," There sat Roger Sherman, who
avowed that he was opposed TO any tax upon
slaves imported, as making the matter worse,
because it implied they were property"
There was. however, minority report from
the same committee That report thus quietly
aud etectually dlsposes oil me ABOVE argument,
drawn up by SUMNER and sanctioned by the ma
jority.
The majority quote declarations of Oliver
Ellsworth, Elbridge Gerry and Roger Sherman,
hostile so slavery, aud argue therefrom that the
constitutional clause relating to persons escaping
from service and labor did not relate to slaves
because those statesmen, as members Of the
| Convention, would not have assented TO a pro-
| vfato NH md d IL. W..
selves with stating, in reply that all those dis
| tinguished men we're members of Congress in
1893. and supported the fugitive slaue act Of that
year.

With a war Of three years duration, the United
States have managed to incur a debt equal to
that of Great Britain. The accumulation Of the
English debt began in the reign OF Charles the
IL. and has been added to from time TO time
until il has reached its present magnitude of
81 900 900 900.
The New Haven Register in reviewing the
question says. that the expenditures Of the Gov
eminent during the war have constantly ex-
ceeded the official estimate, while the receipts
have fallen of. For Instance take the following
estimates Of the Secretary of the Treasury for
1863. with the actual result
Estimated. Realized.

Internal Revenue-..-.- s5,46 303 % $780, 80
Total. .sO7 O17,O2I 81 s3s,l95,ssl 60
Here is seen deficiency of nearly s. 900 900
in the anticipated receipts, while the anticipation
of the expenditures is even further from the
reality:
Estimated expenses o. 1863 $40 80, 245
Actual expenses in 1868. ia 1V9,yS9
Excess over estimate sS3o,s9s,E5e
Mr.. CHASE estimated the expenses for 1864 at
$3.50 81 5 ,0S6: Congress has already appropriated
81, 4O4 900 900 for the war department alonel
The rate at which the debt has Accumulated, and
the amount of claims yet to be adjusted. make it
certain that the public debt is not less (and prob
ably exceeds) $4,000. OO0,OOO.
