An fact, they arc but private institutions and no
more secure than other banks. Their circula-
ton is secured, II is true, by deposits of Gov.
eminent bonds; and this, under all ordinary
circumstances, may seoure the note holders; but
the recent failures show that depositors, and
even the Government itself, may suffer Dy their
failure. The people are deceived by these So
called national banks. They are vast and
dangerous monopoly, of no benefit TO the Gov
erDment or the people, and only profitable to
the monopoliss themselves. The act creating
them ought to be repealed. The Government
shouldsbuy up or retire the bonds now deposited
by these banks by new issue of legal tenders
equal to the amount OF their circulation and
thus save the interest on these bonds. 1t would
not increase the volume of currency, would
give a soupder and more preferable currency,
and would save to the country an amount that,
at compound interest, would pay the national
debt within fifty years We call upon Mr..
Sherman who begins to take broad views on
the general subject Of finance, and upon Con-
gress to lay the foundation OF sound and per-
manent stem of currency, as we'll as for the
management and liquidation of the national

Gov. sEGrsO.s's Speech.

Gov. Morton made the opening speech
of the campaign In this State at indianap>
oils on Tuesday evening Of st week The
Herald of that city noticing The speech
of this distinguished blackguard, says:
His malignancy was uncontrolled and
all the venom of a man goaded to desper>
alton at the certain defeat of his party
and the consequent ending OF his power,
here found vent We never before list
ened to speech in which there was such
rancor and hatred, and the spitcful, ma
evolent manner Of its delivery but cons
cusiyeIy proved that in his desperation
Morton could resort to the most unscrupu>
lous mendacity and misrepresentation Of
his political opponents for the purpose Of
retrieving the lost cause. He cata>
logued all that was infamous and wicked,
ali that offended against decency and mor>
alitv, all that was criminal and outrageous.
except his own debauchcrics, with the
democratic party lie characterized it as
the common sewer into which was emptied
ali the villainy, filth and scum Of the po-
litical world. His zeal to place himself
upon the record as q deli.mer and a villitier
oyercame the temperance and decency,
that we have always naturally connected
with the dignity of the gubernatoriai Office.
L seemed that he had studied revenge and
hate, and if he again had The power he
would most certainly use it against the
leaders Of the democratic party.
The Governor referred but briefly to
the preseHt issues. lie enthusiastically
indorsed the plan of reconstruction and
complimented Congress upon the results
Of It's labors. as having done wise and
patriotic act in adopting the constitutional
amendment. lie was opposed to admit
ting single southern State until after
this amendment had been ratified BY all
the loyal States. He discussed each sec
ton of the proposed amendment an charged
the democratic party as being in favor Of
paying the rebel debt, and uttered moan
for the degradation of the democratic
party, because that party was opposed TO
giving the negro all the political rights
enjoyed by the whites. He occupied
some time in discussing the acts Of the

He gngerly referred to the Presidents
policy, and without saying he did not ap-
prove of it, he had no word Of sympathy
for Johnson and thought his policy hardly
worthy of attention.
The Governor made an appeal to the
young men present, anl coajurcd them to
reflect well before uniting their interests
with those of the dcmocratsc party. The
soicitule Of the 5. L now turns to the
youth of the State, since it is through
with the soldier, and expenls itself in cx>
travaeant copiousness for their future wei
fare. Al this was exceedingly kind.
He ignored the discussion of the guess
lions Of difference between the President
and Congress, and concluded by appealing
to the party in the State to stand by its
organization, as now it had no principles

THE TRIUMPH OF ESyY.-When a
stature had been erected to Theogenes, a
celebrated victor in one Of the games OF
Greece, by his fellow citizens of Thasos,
we are told that it excited SO strongly the
envious hatred of his rival, that he went
to it every night, aud endeavOred to throw
it down by repeated blows, till at last, un>
fortunately successful, he was able to move
it from its pedestal, and was crushed to
death beneath it on its fall This, if We
consider the self-consuming misery of
envy, is truly what happens TO every envi-
Gus man He may perhaps throw down
his rivals glory, but he is crushed in his
whole soul beneath the glory which he

Thad. Stevens is no longer the leader oi

He abdicated that position aud ceased to
be the autocrat of the Radicals when he
yielded his ground and voted for the So
called reconstruction scheme Of the South,
which he abhorred He is now shorn of
al! moral power with his own party, and
has deprived himself of the respect which
that power has given him with his oppo>
uents. When hc stood up manfully for
his monstrous hcresics, and by the force o..
his will compelled his party to adopt them,
men respected him, much in the same
light that they do Lucifer, in Milton s
Paradise Lost When he weakly sue
cumbed and fell, that feeling gave way to
contempt and astonishment If Stevens,

LovE.-We find the following tolerably
clever description Of love in an old maga-
zine:
Love is like the devil because it tormcnts
US; like heaven, because it wraps the soul
IN bliss; like salt, because It's relishing !;
like pepper, because it often sets us on fire;
Ike sugar, because it is sweet; Ike rope,
because it is often the death of a man ; like
"A prison, because it makes miserable ;
like a man, because it is here to-day and
gone tomorrow; like n woman because
there is no getting rid ofit; like beacof +,
because it guides one to the wished Tor
port; like a will the-wisp, because 1t
often leads one into bog; like fierce
courser, because it often runs away with
one; like little pony, because it ambles
nicely like one; like the bite of mad dog
or the kiss of pretty woman, because they
both run us mad like goose. because it
is silly like a rabbit, because there is
nothing like it; in wori, it is like ghost,
because it is like everything, aud like
nothine-often talked about, but never
seen, touched or understood.

prayed the Star-spangled Banner, the reb-

Mr. G.. will not venture to deny that while
secession was just coming to the birth, he
wrote most urgently to Insist upon it, and
to expedite it, and took occasion to affirm
that the rightfulness of slavery was an IN

But if it be said that, as soon as the re-

We have just escaped' Twenty Senators
from the rebel states, added to the present
number Of Democratic members, would con-
stitute considerably more than one third of

Gor,rnor NortoRs Speech
That is beautiful specimsn of an argu-
ment to emanate from u Gubernatorial
chair. The Senator'S from the southern
States are not to have their seats because,
uniting with Senators from other sections
of the country, they would prevent tinker
ing with the fundamental law Of the land
What an awful thing it would be if they
should keep the Constitution as it was
adoped by Washington and his compatri>
OTIS, up to the day that an incompetent,
clownish jester, by the mistake eff the peo-
pie, found his way to the Presidential
chair. Morton's argument is :his: The
whole people Of the United States, as rep
resentcned in Congress, would not be for
auy amendments to the Constitution;
therefore part OF them must be violently
kept out, in order to accomplish it. Ia
other words, the exclusion is a criminal
outrage, and the reason assigned for it is,
| if possible, something worse.-Cin. Eng.
