VALANDE6sEIASI ON THE PUBLIC
DEBT AND ITS PAYMENT.


In a speach at Middletown Ohio, few
days ago, Mr. yalandigham, thus pre-
scented the subject of the National debt
and its payment:
Now, there are other questions-ques~
tions of to-day, not of yesterday, not last
year, not '6l, '63 or ga, bat questions of
1S67-and they shall be hurled into the
ears Of men Of the Republican party of this
State whether they like it or not. We
have a question of currency, and, growing
out Of it, question Of taxation. You are
paying now on the public debt $4,000,
600 at least Of interest annually, and
paying it in coin, upon bonds. What is
a United States bond? Why, so much
money-S100 or $1,000. Many of them
indeed, all OF them I believe-are payable
in gold; yet large proportion of them
were bought at 40. so, and go cents on the
dollar. These bondholders got for $500,
$500 or 5000, claim against the Govern
ment for $1,000. The funded debt of the
United States is g, goo, 000, 900, more than
81, 100000 oft in bonds. The whole prop
erty of the United States is but $11,000,-
900 900, and yet more than one-fifth ofthis
entire property is exempt from taxation.
Suppose there is so much tax to be levied
in a school district in which ten men live.
One man owns 100000, and nine men own
their proportion of 100000. 1t stands to
reason thatifthe man owning 500, 000is ex-
empt from taxation, the others must pay
his share. Tell me, you Republicans who
pirate continually about equality, is that
right ?-is that equal? Can you look me
in the face and say it is right? Wherein
does bond differ from greenback? Will
any man tell me what is the greenback
Nothing but the promise of the govern
ment to pay; and the bond is the same.
But ON the greenback you pay no interest
at all. You made greenbacks money-not
the representative of money, but the money
itself. If a man owed me a thousand dol
lars, even if | had loaned him that much
gold, you compel me to take greenbacks
for it. You passed law saying that paper
money should be legal tender, and when
called for gold you made me take green
backs. l want you to take greenbacks for
what the government owes you, for what is
sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
By calling in these bonds, and paying them
off In greenbacks, you save hundred and
t"Oh'J LHlllohS year III taxes, anu luIS Is
just twice as much as the whole expenses
of the government were ten or eleven
years ago. Why should not that be done?
The proposition of the Democratic party
is that this public debt shall be paid off in
greenbacks; that your thousand dollar
bonds shall be paid in legal tender, upon
which the people pay no interest at all,
and thus that we shall escape large por-
ton of the taxes. am not in favor of re-
pudiating one dollar. 1t must all be paid;
but l want it to be paid in what you COM
PEELED me to take"

THE sOUrHERN SITUATION.

The Radical process Of reconstruction
in the Southern States, has proceeded
far enough to enable us to Judge pretty
accurately as to the success of the
scheme. Unrestricted military power,
exerted in a narrow partisan spirit for
purely partisan ends, will, of course,
carry its purpose. OF this we feel
entirely assured The Acknowledgement
Of the whites, though not as general as
in Tennessee, and the acknowledgement
Of the blacks, will produce the same
results substantially as we have recently
witnessed in this State
The registration, so far as we have
been able to ascertain, has been wholly
in the hands Of Radical partisans, the
most of whom have been INSCRIPTIONS
in their Offices Everything has been
done 70 embarrass and obstruct the reg
istration of the whites, and the doors
haze been opened wide TO the blacks.
The latter have positive majOrities in all
the unreconstructed States Through
Leagues and active emissaIies they have
been deceived and manipulated as they
were here, and the prospect is that they
will vote en- masSo for the Radical party
With the completion Of the registra-
ton, the first step in the business of re-
construction has been accomplished
The next viii be TO hold an election. At
this election two things will be decided
lst whether convention shall be held,
and I'd the choice Of delegates to the con.
yention, should it carry. The registra-
ton having been completed in Louisiana,
the election has been ordered 10 be held
in that State on the 9th and 2Sth days
of September. The question Of conven-
ton viii, doubtless, be decided afirma-
lively in all the States, ana delegates
chosen in each, majority of whom viii
be Radical.
The next step will be the holding of
conventions and the formation of State
constitutions, which viii provide for the
election Of fun set of State officers. and
the putting Of the State governments in
operation ander them These constitu.
tons Will then be submitted to Congress
and if acceptable to the Radical ma;or;t,,
the States win be organized ana 49,,

Laying OF Orner-stOne.

KANSAS CITY, August 2I.-The corner.
stone of the Cameron railroad bridge across
the Missouri river at this point, was laid
to day, with Masonic ceremonies, under the
immediate direction of John d. Vincent
Grand Master, amid great enthusiasm.
Over 5000 people, including delegates from
Leavenworth, Wyandotte, Independence,
and other towns in the vicinity, were pre-
sent. Assurances were given by Mr.. Cha
mute, chief engineer, that the structure
will be completed in one year. The bridge
will be iron, 400 feet long; draw over the
channel 1862 feet six stone piers, with $50
feet spans; and will have a carriage way as
well as railroad track
This bridge, with the one now building
across the Mississippi river, will give us
through connection, without breaking bulk,
with New York and Boston, making Kan
sas City distributing point Of considera-
BILE commercial Importance.
One hundred aek-layers commenced
work on the Cameron road on Monday,
and iron is being laid at the rate of one
mile daily.
Arrangements relative to work on the
Oaks City and Fort Scott road have been
brought to final settlement, insuring the
early completion of that road.

IT is said there is q man in West Nir>
ginia who has just lately heard of the
war He lives twenty miles from any
human habitation, and has not paid taxes
for years. He is contented to live with
his wife, ignorant even of the affairs of
his country, and spends his days hunting
and fishing He said he had understood
few years ago that there was little
fuss about something but did not sup
pose it had amounted to anything
Happy man he was, unhappy he is to
be. He will soon come to wish he had
staid out hunting and fishing If he has
any substance he will soon learn new
tune about taxes-one with endless vari-
atoms He will discover that the "little
fuss amounts to a great deal He will
see that Virginia-the grand old mother
State-has been crucifed for her faith in
the constitution, and her raiment divided
among the spoilers; that Gvorge WASH
ington, of whom he had doubtless heard,
was failure, and that his counsels have
become by-word and mockery am ong
his countrymen; that it is now fashion
able to believe that when Thomas Jeffer-
son, another Virginian of some parts
and renown, wrote that "all meE were
created equal" he meant that his most
ignorant negro was his equal, mortally
and morally, and should have equal, civil
and political rights with himself; that
the constitution which James Madison,
yet another Virginian, participated in
preparing has been pronounced COLI
lection Of obsolete ideas unsuited to this
era, and been rolled up and laid away
he will find that in Virginia, as else
where, as a rule, men of eminent talents
and virtues are excluded from public
stations, and such places filled by knaves
and nincompoops he will find the good
overshadowed and obscured by the bad
he viii learn that the attempt to admins
lister this government upon the great
moral ideas of set ofprofigate imprac-
ticables, has welLnigh destroyed it he
viii see and hear and feel on every hand
something to make him wish that he had
died in blissful ignorance among the

ANTAGONIsM OF RACES.

From the Mobile Advertiser and Register.
1t is the prevailing opinion among intel
ligent and thinking men at the North that
the inevitable tendency of Radical politi-
cal teaching at the South is to a war of
races. We are persuaded that this is a re-
suit that the negroes do not desire, and we
know that their white league leaders take
the greatest pains 10 impress upon them
that there is no such danger in store for
them. But if the negroes were taught by
these men to put matches and bundle of
| lightwood splinters under a frame dwelling,
they might as well he told there was no
danger of burning the house. There is not
only danger, but the thing is certain to
happen if the black people allow them
selves to be arrayed in solid mass against
the dearest interests of the white people.
If colored man joins and votes and acts
with party that proposes to disfranchise
me, white man, and threatens not only to
degrade me from my political freedom, but
to rob me of my property and means of
support, there is not meekness enough in
the Christian religion to make me friend
of that colored man. But there are a
thousand instincts of human nature to
cause me to hold him as an enemy to be
antagonized, opposed, fought and overcome.
This IS the individual view, and it applies
to the whole race. The present course of
the negroes of the South tends to make
fer them enemies in every man of white
blood, except those reckless and inhu-
man wretches who, for their own
selfish purposes are dragging the negroes to
this fearful pass of dangerous hostility.
We think We have shown, as we know we
have felt, genuine and honest interest in
the welfare and happiness of the negro
race; and more for their sakes. than for
the sake of our own race, we have grieved
to see them putting their destinies in the
keeping of the prowling hypocrites whose
only object is to control them for their own
personal aggrandizement If the end comes,
as it will, as surely as the laws which gov
ern cause and effect, continue to operate
they will be the greatest sufferers, for the
whites, not only of the South, but of the
whole country will be on one side, and
three millions cannot stand against twenty
seven millions. If it comes the negroes
may read their fate in that of the Indians.
They will be exterminated or driven out
of the country.
But there is no necessity for this deplo-
rable result 1t would not happen if the
Radical serpent of the everlastingly med
ding and PROSECUTING Yankee had minded
his own business and kept his prying nose
out of our domestic affairs. But as the
serpent hos come into our garden, there is
but one safety for the blacks it is to close
their ears to her kissing lies, and to remem-
Der that they are of the South, and must
have one destiny with the South, and that
the happiness and well-being of both races
in the South can only be found in mutual
friendliness, good will, and confidence be-
tween whites and blacks in the South.
Whoever teaches them otherwise is an
enemy, hypocrite, and falsifer of Gods
truth.
