bellious South, two years after the CONNIE nee

undisturbed if they would return 10 the
Union. After the speeches Gen. Swayne
called for the sense of the colored people. as

The New York herald., 1867-09-26

The Albany Journal, in discussing the busi-
ness Of the Republican State Convention, says
that some issue stands predominant in this cam
paign, and cannot fail to be so regarded by
the Convention. The infamous course of Presi-
dent Johnson has forced it upon the country.
New York Is either to pronounce in favor Of
tho legislation of Congress and the policy it
embodies with reference to reconstruction, or
else to sanction the usurpation, the subter-
fuges and the crimes of a recreant Executive.
Before this oil other matters of opinion become
trivial and Insignificant Nothing must be
permitted to distract the attention of the people
from the momentous struggle upon which, pos
sibly, our national liberties depend. There are
other matters which may remain for future ad-
justment," &c. This means that the republi-
cans at Syracuse are to give the go-by to the
financial issue, the tariff md internal taxation
questions, the excise question, and, as far as
possible, even the question of negro suffrage;
but as this thing, to its fullest extent, is en-
bodied In the reconstruction policy of Con-
gress it will have to be met. We are only
curious to see the shape in which 1t is to be
presented from Syracuse. When great party
is required to shorten its lines we may look
out for some hedging and lodging.

President Johnsen's Latest speech

The speech of President johnson to the scre-
nsding party at the White House The other
evening was well considered in being made
short He said that "if the time and circum-
stances justified, would with much pleasure
address you on the questions which divide and
distract the public mind; !" from which II 10
clear he was satisfied that on shese questions
enough, perhaps, had been said already. We
are sorry to hear, however, from the White
House, that "our country is in great peril" and
that "the constitution Of our country IL IN
peril !" and in his next speech wc hope Mr..
johnson will say, "the country and the const-
tuition are safe, for they ars in the hands OF the
people, That Is the talk for the White
House-not peril to the country, bu. cora
dence in the people.

The Financial Question in the Coming
Elections.


1t is evident from the news we receive daily
relative to election matters in the West, and
particularly in Ohio, that the question Of our
national finances is looming up prominently
in the contest. Mr.. Pendleton and other lead
ing men give great prominence to this question
against the Chase financial policy of q national
bank monopoly, contraction Of the currency
and moneyed oligarchy, and in favor of pay
ing of the national debt in greenbacks as soon
as practicable. The radical republicans, who
are for the most part Chase men, touch this
matter very gingerly, but they cannot ignore
it. Governor Cox, in his speech at Cleveland
on Tuesday, was compelled to accept the issue,
and defended as we'll as he could, in the old
hackneyed manner, the financial wisdom OF
Mr.. Chase and the blessings Of the national
banks and contraction of the currency. The
radical republicans have the weak side on this
issue, for the mass Of the Western people, in
cluding large portion OF the republican
party, are against the national bank monopo-
lists and bondholding money oligarchists.
The more prominently the democrats of the
West can bring this question before the public
the more likely are they to defeat the radicals.
With ordinary skill in managing the campaign,
with the negro supremacy question and
the oppressive and ruinous financial policy
Of the radicals, the party must go under.
But these are only the first movements on a
great issue. The time is near at hand when
the question of our national finances will be
the most absorbing one
The New York herald., 1867-09-26

We print in another column part Of q speech
recently delivered by the Hon. Montgomery
Blair at Bladensburg, Maryland, which is, Of
course, intended to inform an impatient and ex-
pectant world Of the exact position Of the Blair
family in the political current The Blair plat
form has two strong points--the finances and
the white man. These are worth all the resi-
Mr.. Blair holds the same view on some import
ant points in our financial system that we have
for q long time urged in the HERALD, and 10
which some distinguished radical leaders even
have become conver.s-the view, namely,
that Mr.. Chases financial establishment must
destroy the country unless the country Is be-
forehand with it, and that the national banks
are the most gigantic swindle ever deliberately
