We ask the..people of New England if it
is not time for them to stop the stupid
malice of their Senators to put stop to
the teaching that New England Senatorial
power is in violation of natural rights We
suffer in New York by the present consti.

to uphold the constitutional powers Of all
the States. We remember the glorious

The social state of onr country is alarm-

| violence and murder throughout our land.
Men, and women too, kill those who have
done them no wrong; life and property have
become unsafe. Our people learned to do
these things from those who should have
taught reverence for the laws. The seeds
which were sown when men were imprson-
ed, mobbcd or murdered, because they
! honestly differed from the party in power,
are now sprlnging up IN an abundant bar

wrongs were done to their neighbors. If
we would avert Gods just judgment, let
us all now try to bring back reverence for
the laws which our fathers left US as her
itage, and which we have wasted.
1t was not courage but cowardice which
made the administration trample upon laws
courts and home rights, and made judges
trail their ermines in the dust. But | will
pass by the question growing out of admin
iStrative crimes and ioliies, to speak Of that
which is uppermost in men 5 minds, our
financial condition. Upon this we should
be outspoken and true. 1t burthens and
harnesses labor 1t binders and perplexes
into every home. We owe one vast debt,
made by the consent OF the people OF this

Republican Governments. The first step
to uphold the public faith, is to put forth
an honest statement Of eur affairs. The
markets of the world than that Of any
Christian nation III Europe. 1t has sunk
to the Level Of that Of the Turk, the sick
man of the East" When you look at the
list of prices of national stock, you will
find that our bonds, taking into account
the great interest We pay, are for less than
half the price given fer those Of Great
Britain. When we lay them side by side
upon the counter of the capitalist, he takes
the British bond at a rate, which will give
him back in the course Of twenty years,
only 81, 700, while we pay him 81, 100 dur
ing tie same time. That is to say when
the United States borrows 81 600 in gold,
it pays the lender principal and interest

700. When We to!rpw S 200, 900 We
pay on atwenty year loan s., zoe, 900 Eng
land pays only Sl.1J0, 600.
But leavinggthe markets of the world, |
and coming to our own shores, We hnd orr
citizens will not trust our Government upon
the same terms which they give to their
neighbors. The bonds ofthe United States
pay an interest to those who buy them of
about eight per cent. They also give an
exemption from taxation, worth one or two
