Gold or Nothing.

Speaking of "the deficiencies in the
,ryeral platforms thus far reported" !"
the Journal Of Commerce declares that
~,p party can command the support OF
,be Conservatives" unless it is pledged
oro redeem the public debt as it shall
llI due. ia coined money, or its full
equivalent
That is to say, unless the Democratic
9arty shall agree to pay gold for bonds
which are lawfully and expressly re-
irenable in the currency of the couh-
yy. the Conservatives" will unite
with the Radicals, retain them in pow
sr. complete the national ruin threat
rura BY Radical extravagance, and
lLas place it beyond the power OF the
Government to redeem its obligations
ataIl.
The Conservatives" know very we'll,
that the Radical party can never pay
tie debt. Cheap and honest Govern
uent, which can never be had under
Radical rule, is the condition of liqui-
daliou. Without the aid of restored
aud producing South, without the cur
tailment of expenses i'll the War De-
partmcnt, without the abolition Of the
YIeedmeR's Bureau. without the taxa
ton of the bonds, and the substitution
Ol legal tenders for National bank notes,
without the cessation of Railroad subsi-
dies and land grants, without stopping
waste and fraud in the thousand
iOrms which Radicalism has introduced
them, the debt never can be paid. And
get, according to the Journal Of Com
Mdce, the Conservatives" will vote to
eoulinue all these evils unless the Dem
ocrats will agree to pay in gold, what
under the law is payable in paper. I'm
less the debt can be Overpaid, by the
difference between gold and currency, 1t
shall not be paid at all. The "Conserv-
atives" of this country occupy no such
position.

tn. sou,h on ,he Pre.idency.

The Richmond Enquirer insists that
the Southern people have not and will
not declare for any particular candidate
for the Presidency, but leaves that mat
ter to the Northern States. 1t says:
"In regard to the action of the Demo
cratic National Convention, our con-
viction is that the nomination of that
body pil be bestored upon 1homsoerer IS
the choice of the Northern Democracy,
for we believe that the Southern
delegates will be wise and pru-
dent enough to vote en- masse for
whatever candidate is known to
have a majority of Northern votes,
and we shall not be surprised If the
Democratic nominee for President is
nominated by the unanimous vote OF
the Convention on the very first ballot"
If the Southern States act upon this
and vote for the man who has a majori-
ty of Northern votes, Mr.. Pendleton
will receive the nomination without
question.-Pest.

WASHINGTON, March II, 1868.

Mr.. PRESIDENT A dispatch in the
Baltimore Sun of this morning may be
worth your attention as well as mine,
because it is supposed to come from a
gentleman known to be much in your
confidence. 1t is so incorrect that | am
sure you never authorized it. 1t looks
make q false defence of the outrages
perpetrated on his countrymen at the
island OF Alta Vela. The whole state
ment is false so far as concerns the stat
us of the case, the nature of the right
which the American owners possess and
the character of the opposition to it. 1t
is especially and particularly false in
this-that it asserts the existence of a
counter claim by st. Domingo, whereas,
in truth and fact, the Dominicans have
never al any time pretended any right
or title whatever: when formally asked
to show their right they alleged none /;
they have never since asserted any.
They are naked wrong doers by their
own confession; but Mr.. Seward, in
stead of yindicating the honor of his
country, keeping 'he pledged faith of
his government, and guarding the just
rights of his fellow citizens, has taken
the other side, and has been engaged
for years in trying to make o defence
for the DOminicanS; and the defence he
has made is so frivolous and unfounded
that they had not the impudence to act
it up for themselves. They were not
shameless enough to adopt it even after
he had made it to their hand. But my
object is now to assure you that, al
though l thought it your clear duty to
protect these persons as the law re-
quires by restoring them to their lawful
possession, did not ask you to do so as
the condition on which would appear
as your counsel in the impeachment
case. never even referred to the en-
barrassments which it might create un-
til after you had given what had took
for your last word on the subject. i
told you, too, verbally and in
writing, that / did not ask it
on the score of personal kindness
for it was no kindness to me-but
as matter of justice to the unfortunate
men who were robbed and ruined by
Mr.. Stewards proteges. The trouble is
that your decision, or rather your re-
fusalto decide, places me in situation
where | may be compelled to do what
your counsel cannot aud ought not to
do. This dispatch says the whole sub
ject is before Congress. think if Mr.
Seward takes that tact he will do you q
great injury. Irepeat what have said
before-that / have the most implicit
faith in the law and justice of your de-
fence to the impeachment, and believe
it will be presented with ability which
can leave nothing to be desired. / an
perfectly sure that your case is not one
whit injured by my retirement from it
am with great respect, yours, &c,
j. S. BLACK.

What n Working Man Thinks.

Hon. John A. Bingham, in one of his
speeches during the last campaign, was
foolish enough to exclaim-"Thank God
there is no such thing as Equal Taxa
ton" This came to the eyes of Mont
pelier, (yermont) Radical workingman,
which struck him so forcibly that, Rad
ical as he is, he is forced to comment as
follows:
"Of course Bingham and his party
represent the bondholder who has his
horses, his carriage, his wine parties,
his plate, his bonds.
l am workingman. i have nay tin
dinner pail, my tool chest, and my hard
palms, aud tired bones at night, and my
hasty breakfast in the morning, lean
purse, and tax receipt OF the end of the
year.
When quarter day comes the bond
holder cuts off his coupons, and draws
his interest andthanks God there is no
such thing rs equal taxation.
/ draw out my purse and pay my rent.
And when the year is gone, he counts
up his gains, rustles his bonds, and has
wine supper. And when the year is
gone l look ut the robber, the tax re-
ceipt, 60 to bed with an aching heart to
dream Of Democratic times, light and
equal taxation.
The bondholder does nothing. He is
supported.
pay State taxes.
l pay county taxes.
l pay village taxes.
Ipay town taxes.
Tpay revenue taxes.
/ pay direct taxes.
Ipay taxes on everything.
pay taxes to support the bondhold-
ers who pay no taxes for any purpose
whatever.
r shall vote for equaltaxation, and
down with the party who "thank God
that there is no such thing as equal tax.

The AHA veIa' Annir-Letters Of
Judge Black 20 the President on
the Subject, nnd also his Withdraw
al rs one OF the Presidents Counsel
in the impeachment Trial.
Mr.. PRESIDENT Your determination
to determine nothing for the relief OF the
owners of Alta Vela makes it impOssi-
BILE for me to serve you longer as coun-
sci in the Impeachment case. They
cannot allow their rights to be trified
with, and | cannot advise them to sub
NIT in silence to the outrage perpetra-
ted upon them. They must seek else
where for the justice you deny them. l
am sure you will admit that l have
never urged this upon your attention
until you. had full opportunity of ex-
amining it, nor asked you for decision
until you expressed the opinion that the
title was just and legal. Mr.. Stewards
little finger, it appears, is thicker than
thieves whose interests he has guarded
so faithfully are welcome to the short
lived victory they have won. My
retirement from your cause will not
probably diminish the chances of its sue
cess. When you first expressed the de.
sire that should be one of your counsel
l gave some reasons why it might be
better for you that should not consent.
Upon Messrs. Curtis and Stanbery these
considerations had some weight, but
you Overruled them without hesitation.
If you will reflect upon them again you
will probably see that you have no rea
son to regret my present decision to re-
tire. But to me it is cause of sincere
grief that l cannot aid in the struggle
you are making tor truth, justice and
the constitution of our country. / do
most devoutly believe that the now
made accusation against You by the
House of Representatives is unfounded
in fact and law, and that your defence
must be regarded as conclusive by every
impartial mind. know it will be pre-
sented with consummate ability. /
hope you see plainly that have adopt
ed the only possible mode Of relieving
myself from the embarrassment and
which would be wholly
if did not get rid of them
in some way. Yours, &C.,
