Financial and Commercial.
TUEsDY. Dec. 22-6 y.


Mr.. Secretary Chase, in his annual re-
port to Congress, seems very anxious 10
return to specie payments, and he thinks
1t can aud will be brought about, much
sooner than the people anticipate. We
have before informed him that England
consumed ten years after her wars with
Napoleon to reach the result that Mr.
Chase now desires and promises to accom-
plsh so suddenly and during that time
, the trade, the manufacturing interest and
the industry of the British nation were
broken down two or three times. The
affairs of the government at the time were
in the hands of the moneyed and landed
interests, which had no sympathy with the
commercial and Industrial classes, and the
latter were sacrificed to carry out the de.
sires and designs of the former. Mr.. Chase
may attempt to re-enact the role of the
English aristocracy in the decade subse.
quent to 1915 at the expense of the stock
Jobbers and contractors who have been
enriched through his laundering financial
policy; but if the matter is left to the pc
pie until the war is over the work can bc
performed with much greater facility
Unlike England, the government here is
IN the hands of the working classes, who
have no direct interest in the public debt
and when tho financial obligatians Of the
country become onerous upon virtual re-
pudiation will be an undertaking quite
easy in its performances, by elevating men
to office who are willing to do the bidding
Of their constituents There would then
be no difficulty in the way Of an immediate
restoration Of the specie basis, as our State
institutions have always in their vaults o
sufhciency OF coin to warrant resumption
at any moment.
So says the New York Herald money
article. But we enquire Is it true that
"the government here is in the hands Of
working classes? very great efforts are
making to form and consolidate an aris-
tocracy, which is to consist of holders of
National stocks, which are to be free from
taxes. Should that succeed, and thereby
Congress become merely the tool of this
sbodIy mO6iiity, then taxes would be enor-
nous, and the rich, exempt. Neither
liqidation nor reputation would be pos.
sible, with States and people powerless
aud shoddy, like the old man of the Sea,
astride our necks.
viii not the people arise, and look the
appalling future in the face

Speech of Hon. Harry Hakes.

We have perused with interest and sat
isfaction, the Speech of the Hon. HARRY
HAKEs, one of the Representa- yes, at
Harrisburg, February ls, 1864, on tho
Resolution proposing to require proof OF
loyalty from tho persons claiming pay
ments for damages by the Rebel Raids
DR.. Hakes' speech is q noble defence of
the rights Of all the citizens OF Pennsylva-
mia, without distinction Of party, who sus
tained injury by the Rebel Raids into our
State, and is at the same time, a mastery
expose of the sneaking attempt Of the abb. .
lition majority of the House to establish a
test of loyalty for the disunonists, by
which democrats may be deprived oil their
just rights, and the others rewarded for
harboring the Rebels. This is sbe mean
ing of their 'tes! OF loyalty.'
DR.. Hakes is bold man and un able
representative. Would that we had more
such fearless statesmen in the Legislature.
Luzerne county may we'll feel proud of her
talented young Democratic Representative.

EXpensive---Rather.

The Florida expedition cost, it is said,
1900 men, six pieces Of cannon and q
million Of money and ell this not for
any military purposes, but rather in de-
rogation of them. The three electoral
votes of Florida have already cost US
pretty dearly. 400 men, nOo cannon,
and S333, 1893 a3 for each vote! This is
certainly expensive work and if the
electoral colleges of Arkansas, Louisiana
and Tennessee have to be purchased at
anything like these rates, perhaps we may
be paying too dear for the privilege Of
this species of reconstruction. But wha,
does ABARHAM LINCOLN care how many
American citizens die by inches in Libby
prison, or meet with quick death or use
less battle field, SO long as he is reinstatet
into Office : Work on, you weary laborer
coin your sweat into greenbacks to pay
for ABRAHAM LINooLN's denomination
An hour or so more labor q day-or {
dinner or so less week, what matter t,
you, SO that the "second Washington
may rule again Offer your backs. goo
people all, to the burden, and sing hosan
ma while the pack is being strapped on I

Cox ON Preachers,

In the House of Representatives, Hon.
SAMUEL s. Cox, Of Ohio, in discussing the
proposition to amend the enrolment bill
by exempting ministers of the gospel, said:
III am opposed to exempting ministers
Of the gospel from their share Of the duty
of putting down this rebellion. II is a
general belief among large part of the
people of this country, both North and
South, that the most pestferous class OF
human beings-those who fomented So.
cession at the South and disunion at the
North-have been the clergy mem. And
they are still fomenting hate, i'll will, and
unkindness among the people. And now
gentlemen come hear and say that their
profession forblds them to engage in the
shedding OF blood, and that therefore they
should be exempt from military service.
Sir, cannot recognize that az any argu-
ment for such exemption ! am opposed
to this class Legislation. | cannot rocog-
nize auy difference between ministers Of
the gospel and meu belonging to any 9th.
er profession. After all it is nothing but
business, and in the matter of allegiance
every man, whatever may be his business,
owes his allegiance to his country.
"My colleague Mr.. SPAuLDINd1 thinks
/ am mistaken when l say that rebellion
has been fomented by ministers of he gos-
pei, South and North. My colleague
said in his speech the other day that he
had shaken hands with rebel. on John.
sons island and that he would rather
shake hands with such rebels than with
some men on this side of the House.
"You wore a; home shaking hands with
rebels. was not here when you made
that reference or l could have given you
something moro than mere words about
loyalty and patriotism. l would have
proved you to be seditous man.
"My colleague has been himself engag-
ed, along with ministers of the gospel in
his own district, singing anthems and
clarifying old John Browns sedilon. -
[Laughter.] Moro than that, sir, my
colleague was engaged again and again in
Ohio in trying to break down the laws of
the United States, and can prove him
from papers in my desk to be seditionist
and revolutionist. He is oonspirator
against the Federal Government.
81 can prove, by papers in my hand, if
L had time to do it, that the gentleman =,
along with those ministers who would now
be exempted, have for years persistcntly
rebelled against the Federal Government,
have strven to stir up hate and revolution
between the States, to embroil them in
conflict, and by violence to overturn laws
which had been decided to be valid By
the Supreme Court of the United States
1ou presided over a convention called
for that purpose, and you are not the
man. sir, to impugn my loyalty stood
here fighting against secession and revolu-
sion, whilo you, in Ohio, during all that
time, were alternating the sections and
producing civil war by your insurreotiop-
ary and rebellious conduct"
1t is said that Mr.. SpAULDINa, covered
and squirmed under the lash of his col
league like whipped spaniel.

Bedford County.

The Democracy of Bedford county
at their late county meeting adopted the
following excellent and spirited resolu-
tions:
RESOLVED, That the greatest danger, the
most imminent peril to our country, grow
ing out of the present unhappy civil war,
is the tendency of our civil rulers towards
despotism. The war is a question of con
turies of the past, and if disturbed, must
agitate the ages of tn, future, till eternity
itself shall dawn.
Resofved, That we will uphold snd de-
fend, at the cost Of lfe,itself, the free in
stitulons purchased by the blood of the
Revolution, and transmitted to lis as tn
most precious legacy that could be be.
queathed to their postcrity by the heroic
fathers of the republic. Among these we
hold especially dear the rights Of freedom
of speech, freedom Of the press, freedom
of the ballot, and the right of each State
regulate and control its domestic affair:
in its own way, subject only to such re-
restrictions as are imposed by the Consti
tuition OF the United States.
ReSolu0d, That in the future we MUST
and WILL HAVE fair and free choice
of our civil rulers; that we will no louge
tolerate the system of fraud, intimidation
and corruption which has been inaugura
ted by the party now in power, and tina
we feel it our duty not merel to our part,
but to our country, to rid the people o
this incubus upon the will Of the majority
Resolved, That we will always sustai
the government as defced by the orgaui
law of the republic and, we will uphold tn
administration Of the government when W
think it right and condemn it when W
think it wrong.

Democratic State Convention.

We hear from every quarter that the
State Convention, which is to be held in
Philadelphia on the oath of March, will
not only be full inside, but that there will
be larger and outside representation than
usual, 1t will have grave work to perform,
and, we trust its deliberations will be ca m
and its acticn prudent. In regard to del
egases at large to the National Convention
which is to assemble at Chicago on the 4th
of July, we trust We may intimate with.
odt improperly, that wise and reliable
Democrats only should be selected. We
are confident the convention will feel the
necessity for such representatives, and
therefore, need press the matter 10 fur
,her. Among the distinguished names
already mentioned for that responsible
position, We notice Geo. w. Cass, of ALLIE
ghony, Henry ID. Foster of Westmoreland
Hester Clymer, Of Berks, and Geo. w.
Woodward of Philadelphi1. There will
doubtless be others equally worthy, pres
sed by their friends, SO thai the Conven-
,ioa will probably find little difficulty in
choosing delegates who will fully satisfy
public expectation,

Editors Correspondence.

The following are extracts of private
letter, from one of the best men aud purest
Democrats in Pennsylvania, now at Har.
risbu'g, to the Editor of, the "Columbia

Harrisburg, March /, 1854.
Ny DEAR Col. TArE:---
Yours of yesterday has been received,
for which pNase accept my sincere thanks
i am alwaysglad to hear from valued
Friends, ,and from tnOnepore than yourself,
You do Mr.. MONTGOMERY, but simple
justice when you say that you ''Sent a good
Senator'-He is that,i the broadest sens e
of the term--added TO clear and sound
discriminating judgment, he is gentleman
of incorruptibls integrity--no man in the
Senate is more respected, and what is bet
ter no one better deserves it.
The new Senator made his appearance
in the Chamber on yesterday morning,
amidst much pomp. He was escorted to
the Capitol by procession, with banners,
music, &c, and such was the press about
the door that he was obliged to seek in
greSS 6y a a0tmdoW. have known of men
escaping om of The Senate Chamber by q
tCindo1c, but l believe this is the first time
L have known one to enter in that way.
The 'eUol@tiontsts, "started the ma
chine last night, by electing all the sub
ordinate officers, but refused to elect
Speaker Should they persist in their re-
fusaI to 60 into an election for Speaker,
we will give them trouble, before the end
of the Session, butI think we will yet
bring them to terms.

George Thompson.

The Lancaster Intelligencer, says thi,
notorious English Abolitionist, who for
thirty long years has been laboring to
destroy The American Union, is again in
this country-havIng been sent for by
some of the 'loyal' friends of the Ad-
ministra.ion. He commenced his des.ruc.
tive work in Boston, on the evening of
the 10th ult., having been introduced to
the meeting by the "loyar' Collector Of
the Port, Mr.. GOODRICH.
THOMPSON began his disun,on harangue
by thanking God that he had lived to see
the fruits of his labors 1.-THE bloody triumph
of Abolltlonism1 in the noble position that
America had taken, and hoped in a few
days to havo the opportunity to speak
more fully on the state Of feeling in Eng
land in relation to our great struggle. In
conclusion, he alluded to GEORGE WASH
INGToN as the founder of American Inde-
pendence, and abraham Lincoln as the
founder of American Liberty What
an idea-contrasting Abraham Lincoln,
the weakest aud least dignifed of all our
American Presidents, with the immortal
Father of his Country Aud this iufam.
GUS :sfntinasns, we are told, was received
wish.nine radsing cheers by the "loyal'
assemblage, niggers and aall, then and
there present.
Such is Abolit ionism 1t would de-
grade the unsullied character of the great
and good WASHINGTON, SO as to elevate
and ldoize the most contemplate of all
his successors in the Presidential chair.
Verify, "whom the gods will to destroy
they first make mad," and this aphorism
bids fair to be verified in the histor- =
the American people. ALAG - ou
poor, suffering and als4oed country
Would that a1leher WASHINGTON wa

',hce, to put ssop:to this carnival o
blood, and restore to us again the Unio
and the Constitution of our patriot fathers

b95@ The New York Tribune has for once
diverged from its erratic course, and has
blundered against an atom of candor, as
will appear from the following sentence,
characterizing the northern democracy:
"The northen democracy is not really pro-
slavery, but anti-interventiop; maintaining
not that slavery is right, but that we of the
free States should mind our own business
and let alone other peoples
