From the Ohio Statesman.
For Five Years they Worked to
Destroy the Union.

RECENTLY, General Garfield made
a stump speech at Hagerstown,
Md. In this speech he declared
that ''for five years, by every means
in their power, the people of elev-
en- States of this Union resolved
and endeavored to destroy this Re-
public and break down all it's glo-
ry; they determined to break down
the Constitution and destroy the
Union, and ruin and overturn and
overwhelm you and me and every
lover OF the Union, and rule us and
carry everything they pleased"
Let us see in what way "the peo-
pie of eleven States of the Union"
undertook to do this. The leading
men in the eleven States referred
to saw the anti-slavery element as
suming such proportions as led
them to believe that they would
not have peace in the Union so
long as the institution of slavery
existed in their States, and with a
view Of guarding that institution,
and for the purpose of building up
a grand Confederacy, they attemp-
ted to withdraw from the Union
To do So. "for five years" they used
"eyery meaus in their power."--

were designed to be, namely, a
huge political power, to be used by
interruptions men for the further
ance of sinister purposes. These
therefore, are not the objects upon
which the public money should be
wasted when there are SO many
other interests which have a claim
upon the Government. for support.
The interest money now paid to
National banks upon the bonds de-
posted as the basis of their circu-
lation would be much better en-
'ployed, for instance, in subsidizing
American steamers, and so allevia-
ting the miseries attending immi-
grafton to this country from Europe
in ill.provided and over crowded
vessels sailing under alien flags.
The profit of National banks are
shown by the large dividends
which, in most cases, they are ena-
bled to pay, some rising as high as
twenty per cent. per annum and
we consider it the duty of Congress
to pass measures for the reduction
and ultimate extinction of the in
terest on the bonds deposited by
them with the Treasury, and from
which, as it is, they reap the profit
Of a double investment. The rot
tenness which underlies the man
agement OF large portion of them
fOreshadows the ultimate fate OF
the whole. They will continue to
collapse one by one at intervals
till finally public confidence in
them will be lost, their depositors
will share in the prevailing distrust,
their notes will fall to a discount,
and be bought up by spectators,
who will present them for redemp-
ton, thus force them into liquida-
ton; and the pet scheme Of Mr..
Chase will have been tried and
found wanting. This general col
lapse may not occur until an at
tempt is made to resume specie
payments, but the props are al
ready beginning to give way, and
the Treasury cannot be to careful
in the selection of its repositories
after its fresh experience in the
case of the Merchants National
Bank at Washington.

Who are the Secessionists /?

Who oppose the President?
Who refuse to sustain his recon-
struction policyG Every original
disunionist in the land? Let US
look over the record of a few of
them. Thaddeus Stevens says:
"The Union never shall, with my
consent, be restored under the Con-
stitution as it is."
Stevens opposes the President,
and is a secessionist.
Mr.. Sumner, when asked in so
many words, on the floor of the
Senate, whether he would aid in
executing law passed in clear
compliance with the bidding of the
Constitution, replied:
"Is thy servant a dog, that he
should do this things"
Sumner opposes the President,
and is an original rebel.
Wendell Phillips said in rela-
ton to the war shortly after it COM
menced:
"No man has a right to be sur
prised at this sort of things. 1t is
just what We Abolitionists and dis
unionists have attempted to bring
about. / have labored nineteen
years to take sixteen States out of
the Union"
Phillips is very bitter against the
President, and speaks the senti-
ments of the secessionists.
Ben. F. Wade, speaking of the
Southern people, says:
~ am not one of those who
would ask them to continue in such
a Union. 1t would be doing vio-
lence to the platform of the party
to which | belong"
Ben. Wade opposes the President
and is an original secessionist.
Horace Greedy said:
"lf the the slave slave STATES, the cotton
States or the Gulf States Gnniy,
choose to form an independent ma
ton, they have a moral right to do
SO. All nations have their super
stitions, and that of our people is
the Constitution"
Horace Greedy opposes the
President and always was rebel.

Weak Spots in the National Bank
inr G-Stam

1t is not many weeks since the
failure of Culver, Penn & Co., in
this city, led to the immediate sus-
pension Of several National banks
in the oil regions of Pennsylvania
and elsewhere, and just now the
failure of a Baltimore stock house
has involved that of the Merchants
National Bank at Washington, and
the loss of about 100000 to the
Government, ithaving been a pub
lie depository. This we fear is on
ly the beginning Of a long series of
similar explosions, and the first
symptom of the decline of the en-
tire system of National banking,
which was originated by MIR. Chase
for selfish and political purposes,
without regard to the good of the
country.
That the banks so constituted
are parasites upon the treasury is
manifest enough from a perusal o1
the act authorizing their creation,
which confers upon them pecunia.
