Governor Cox ON National Questions.


Governor Cox, of ohios was, elected
as conservative republican, and he
discusses national matters in his annual
messas seS from that point of view with
much ,force and with a candor that will
be relished by Union meu of all Opin-
ions. He says: s,.fT .4;gJ.r O ,l..rr
,aWeihave the right and are in duty
bound to insist upon sufficient guaran-
ties for the future safety of the Union
but those guarantees must be such as
shall not be beineonsistentwith a repub-
lican government for those who give as
we'll as for those who receive such secu-
rity. Conquest does not rightfully give
unlimited sway over the PERSONS and
property of the conquered, and their
rights may be diminished no further
than is necessary for the public safety.
If it were proven that it would be i'm
possible for us to live safely, as sharers
OF common government, with the
people of any State or community, our
republicanism might force us to consent
to separation, but could not justify us
in holding them as subjects; and this
proposition is true without reference to
race or color. Representation is not
privilege conferred upon majorities, but
il is most ef1icfent for good when it ap-
proachesnost nearly to giving voice in
the legislature to all minorities in pro-
portion to their number. 1t is better
and safer that a minority, however hos
tile to us in principle, should be SO rep
resented as to be openly heard and an
swered, than that It should have the
advantage of winning sympathy and
gaining partisans by making issue upon
the question of the right of representa-
ton instead of upon the faisity OF. its
obnoxious principles. Military gov
ernment is in its very essence a despot-
ism, and any long continuance of 1t
after the cessation of armed resistance
is contrary to, and confession of the
failure of republicanism.s
GIn the heat of our just wrath against
those who would have swept republi-
canism from the continent, had they
been successful, we are in danger OF
forgetting principles to which we owe
allegiance, and therefore we should not
excuse ourselves from the thankless
task of reminding each other of them.
To follow these rules and yet provide
that the, national safety be not endan-
gered, to determine who of the late enc
mics of the government are without the
pale of clemency, and yet, to extend
amnesty to the other millions of those
who were rebels, to restore political
privileges totthose who were formerly
masters, and yet protect the freedom Of
those who were formerly slaTes-such
is the difficult and delicate work before
the executive and the legislature. of the
nation, and they may rightly claim OF
us all such appreciation of their task as
shall make us most kind and charitable
Judges of their differences from favorite
measures of our own. We have, in
deed, reason to be devoutly thankful
that the work has fallen. upon men in
whose patriotism and wisdom we have
SO great cause for confidence, and that
the progress they have already made
promises a conclusion which shall be
reasonably speedy and generally salts
factory to the country."3o yTsy' o<

Decline in ValueS.
Nesg York 1fiotnie's MoHev Artteie.
The recent decline in stocks has at
tracted attention for the moment
an emphemeral movement, resulting
partly from the buying Of the shorts,
and scarcely indicative of the real spec
ulatiYe tide. The general impression
is. that in the easiest and most practi-
cable way, we are bound toward specie
payments, and while few are clear in
their views as to the manner in which
it shall be accomplished, and at what
time, all agree that the substantial in
terests of the country require that we
should shape financial measures with
that end in view. Such a change in our
financial system contemplates the re-
ductioni of all values to the specie ha-
sis, and, much to the disturbance of
speculators, keeps people from buying
for a rise, when the tendency is strong
ly toward decline. The price Of gold,
but lately 145, is gradually coming
down, and will decrease according to
the wisdom of. financial measures; and
with this decline we shall have cor
responding reduction in all values. II
Secretary McCulloch manages through
the year with the sagacity 'he has thus
far shown, gold will not rule much
above 40 a few months hence.
Business awaits the action OF Con-
greSS upon the Loan Dill, ana unI1l lLS
details fare fully settled long engage
ments for capital are deferred. Upon
the necessity of funding the currency
debt and returning to specie paymenst
there Is no difference of opinion The
onlyipoint atissue is whether the coun-
try shall be steadily pressed back to
specie payments by. Withdrawing the

Congress attends to this matter the bet
ter it will be for all solvent merchants
and the labor of the country. The only
people who resist a return TO specie pay
ments, and talk about the danger of
haste in doing right financially, are the
holders of goods at high prices, and spec
ulators who hope for sudden fortunes
to be made upon the violent fuctua-
tions ever attendant upon an irredeem-
Money on call is offered in large
amounts at 5 per Icent to stock houses,
and they are wholly unable to use the

is a good deal doing upon second class

change of consequence. Some choice
short bills, equal almost to call loan,
sell under7 per cent, but the common
rate is 7a9 for best, and 10a15 for second
grade. .s.-r-.
