Mr., Pendleton Explains His Position on the
Bond Question. m <

= The democrats of Cleveland, Ohio, sere-
naded Messrs. Geo. II. Pendleton and Geo,
e. Pugh, at hotel in that city on the even
ing of the 18th. ult Mr.. Pendleton, in his
response, took occasion to explain his posi-
ton to the payment of the fve-twenty bonds.
Abiding to his recent speech, he said:
/ endeavored to show that these bonds
ought to be redeemed IN legal-.ender notes
at the earliest moment; that time and iex-
perienee would indicate how rapidly they
could be redeemed without undue imitation
of the currency. I asserted that, by the
terms OF, the laws authorizing the issue OF
the hive twenties, by the terms OF the legal.
tender law, and by the terms Of The bonds
themselves, the government might legally
redeem them with legaltender notes. Let
me state to you the position. We have an
enormous debt. We have rate of taxation
beyond all example oppressive. We have
system of national banks. / am sorry
we have seen them. I did not vote for them
and am not responsible for them. They are

The Patriotism of Bondholders.

Sunset Cox, rs the radicals love to call
the late congressman from OHIO, has lately
made speech in his old home to his former
constituents. He lets food of noon sun
light into the radical camp which opens up
to public view some oftheir dark corners.
Speaking of the pfesence of patriotism oil
the bond -holder in investing in government
securities. the speaker thus apostrophises
that loyal Individual - gag
"Look," says the bondholder: "observe
what confidence have in the ever-glorions
Union? Every dollar of my money, fellow
citizens. is invested in government bonds
Bow down and worship the exalted faith and
patriotism which have induced me to risk
nv all in the permanence of this, the best
government, on earth" 81
But what is the truth, when this mask Of
bvpoerisy and lies is torn from this tricks
ter's face? The fact is he has managed
not only to double his fortune, but TO place
it where il must remain secure from
the ravages of taxation, or the vicissitudes
of currency changes. After having wrecked
ysur ship on the rock, he has put off in a
boat, and anchored himself in a harbol
which has been walled about by the toll o.
your own hands. He thinks that for every
hundred dollars of currency invested in gov
ernment bonds he will obtain when those
bonds are duel hundred dollars in gold
and meanwhile six per cent. per annum in
gold, equal to nearly nine per cent, per an
mum in paper-a higher rate of annual
profit than he could possibly obtain in the
| dry goods business, taking all risks into con
sideration, unless, indeed, he could effect
some more changes to wrench more of your
substance And no W let me point out THU
man to you as he is. % stq-
.."Look, say l, s.look at this man, and .se,
what he has done. He has invested ever,
dollar he possesses, not upon his faith II
! the permanence of the government, but upoi
| his faith in the permanence of the intention
of the Industrial classes within It to pay tn
interest on these bonds. 1t is not becans
he loves the Union that he buys 0nite'
States bonds; it is because he loves tn
money they promise to pay; both of which

The New York Democratic State Convention
25 A5a7" The Resolution.

-, The following are the resolutions adopted
by the New York democratic state conyen-
ton:
The democracy of New York in conven-
ton assembled, make the following declara-
tons: ss.-e .-s5T .s.ss.. san. : 81.
First. That we pledge ourselves to redeem
New York FROM corruption and misrule as
the first great step to the restoration OF the
Union and constitutional government
se Second. That regarding the national debt
as sacred obligation, we demand economy
of administration, honesty in the collection
and application of revenues, simplihcation
of and equality in taxation, and currency
for the benefit of the people instead of cor
poratiens, to the end that the public faith
may be preserved and the burthens of taxa
ton loosened.
Third. That we denounce the effort of the
radical party to retain the power it has
usurped by establishing negro supremacy IN
| the south by military force, coupled with the
disfrauchisement of the mass of the white
population, as an outrage upon democratic
principles, and an attempt to undermine
and destroy the republic; and that we stig-
rnatize the refusal of that party in this state
to submit the question of negro suffrage to
the people as cowardly evasion of a para
mount issue in the pending struggle.
Fourth. That the revelations of corrup-
ton in tie management of the canals, the
confessed degradation of the Legislature. the
resort to extraordinary commissions to con
troll municipalities, the decentralization of the
revenue service, and the fact that a party
holding power over congress-, the Judiciary
the executive, and the army, has failed te
bring peace and solidity and credit TO the
country, demonstrate its utter incapacity u
| administer government and the necessity o
wrestling power from such hands. 5r-
Fifth. That while we approve of an excise
1 law which shah be applicable TO the who'll
state and secure public order, we are, as We
| have ever been, bostile'to legislation which
| under the pretext of moral reform. invade
private rights. subjects citizens to vexatiou

Sixth. That we reafirm the doctrine c

adopted and anaeive citizens are alike ent
tied to the protection of the American flag
and we call upon the American government
to enforce it.
