The tersest wording and best thoughts
upon the question Of our debt, were
given to the public by Gen, Fremont
at the Cooper Institute on Tuesday
evening last. We s.ve the following
"As to the debt, its payment is not
a question of to-day, bnt the COOL faith
in which we incurred it is. lApplause. ]
Beyond the simple declaration that we
intend honorably to meet our engage
ments. both in the spirit and letters to
our contracts lapplausel. it has no
place in the questions OF the day. II
it be touched at all party politics will
seize upon it, and discussion only tends
to diminish our securities and injure
their value in the hands OF the people
[Applause. We have lately seen that
the doubt thrown around its payment
has advanced gold at % per cent,
and taken away one-quarter from the
value of the currency of the country.
IF it can be let alone, and an admins
tration placed in power pledged to meet
our engagements honorably, gold in q
year or two will be at par, and all our
securities everywhere will have their
full value. [Applause. But the debt
is not our immediate concern. It is
not this generation which will have it
to pay. It is not the country Of to-day
with its disorganized and turbulent
States, with its broken commerce and
its great waste OF unoccupied territory );
but it is the country of 10 or Is years
hence, and its population 30 or 40 per
cent. greater than now, with its popu-
lous States restored to order, with its
commerce revived, and its flag again on
all the seas renewed applause, the
Pacific Railroad completed great ap-
plause], fertilizing and spreading wealth
over the territory that they traverse be-
tween the terminal ports of New-York
and San Franrisco, the center of the
worlds commerce and its exchanges.
That is the country which which viii
have to pay the debt. So much now,
and SO insignificant then in view of the
immense resources that will be able to
meet it. Applause. We are told that
the West wishes to repudiate this debt;
but. we know that to carry on the war
the West gave good blood, and we be-
lieved that they are willing to pay the
cost of it in good money. Thunders
of applause. We cannot enter upon
this career of commercial prosperity in
the character of bankrupts. Cheers.
You have earned splendid reputation
for military wisdom, you have given
noble example of organized charities
and clemency in the very midst of
war. 1t now remains for you to estab-
lishan equally high reputation for fnan-
cial honor. [Applausel."

1--WE have whipped them once,' said
Grant at Belmont, "and I think we
can do it again." This saying is es-
pecially pertinent to the present con-
test. The Confederates were whipped
in the field the question now is, can
they be whipped at the polls ? The
same disloyalty vi.ie' tle war put down
by force of arms, now proposes to tri-
umph by force of intrigue, falsehood
and chicane but is doomedto thesame
defeat in politics which befel it in war.

MAKING FRIENDS.

Before we issued our paper, we had
the fullest assurance of sympathy and
aid from all of our citizens. In one after
noon we had sixty pledges of advertise
ing help, which has since been fully
redeemed. We have been modest in
our application and support of the pub
lie, and the response has been so ready,
that we confess we feel somewhat as
did the little sunday school scholar,
who went to one of the wealthy mem
bers of the church, and asked for o
subscription for the enterprise in which
he was engaged. Soon after leaving
the office of the gentleman, friend
met the boy, who looked so downcast
and sad, that he asked the lad I" what's
the matter, my son ?" In tone Of
self-vexation he replied, ''my he
gave me the dollar SO easy, I wish I
had asked for two p Perhaps we did
not really ask with as much boldness as
we ought to have done, Tor large sub
scription list at the start of our enter
prise and as we find the MONITOR
making friends so readily, though we
may be little vexed at our own modes
ty and want of faith we now say don't
stop sending in your subscriptions,
your advertisements and your notices.
We shall give you the qtid pro quo and
ever after, like Oliver Twist, ask for
more, as we are bound to make friends,
and keep them,

that impeachment was only part OF its judi
cial functions, which view he supported by the
authority of Chancellor Thurlow. If this is
mot an altar of justice, it is merely an altar OF
sacrifice. He said the managers had taken no
pains to conceal the party spirit and party
hate which had hurried them through the pre-
parations for this procedure, and read some
declarations on the subject made by the mana
gers in the Peek trial He called attention to
the words of one ofthe managers, whospoke of
the Senators as headsmen standing on the
scaffold with their swords ready.
he read from the debates on the formation
OF the Constitution, to show that the power 70
impeach and try the President was granted
with hesitation to the Senate, and that only
because of the reliance placed upon their OBJ
servance of a judicial oath.
Mr.. Eyarts then dwelt on the tremendous
power and meaning of the little words truth,
oath, justice and duty" and appealed to the
tegrity, truly and justly to observe their oaths
and perform their solemn duty.
At the conclusion OF his eloquent exordium
the Court and Senate adjourned at 420.
HousE.-Mr. Paine introduced three sepa-

North Carolina and Louisiana. They are sim

Of the coast, and also for the purpose of taking
care that valuable property in the ships shall
not be eonfscated for alleged infractions of tn,
provincial rights on the fishing grounds, and
that whatever punishment for trespass is in
aicted shall be in proportion to the precuniar,
injury occasioned by the offence.
The House then went into Senate chamber.

The trial of Burke, Casey and Shaw COM
menced to-day. Justice Bromwell presided
The court house was full and great interest
was manifested. The counsel for the Crown
were the same as in the case of the Clerken-
well explosionists. Those for the prisoners
were as follows: Ernest Jones and Mcdonald
for Burke, Lewis for Casey, and Pater for
Shaw. Mr. Jones asked for mixed jury for
Burke on the ground that he was an alien.
Counsel for the Crown objected, whereupon
proof was offered in the shape of passport
signed by the United States Minister, Mr.. Ad
ans. The validity of the proof was fought
when the court overruled its admissibility and
denied the motion for a mixed jury. The
counsel for the Crown said the case against
the prisoners was of felony in making wal

HAVANA, April N.-St. Domingo advices of
the 10Th state that acting General Baez had
public. Congress was endeavoring so to amend
the constitution during the present session as
to confirm the leading points of Gen. Baez' 8
policy. These were the following: To make
SANTANA free port of entry, and general for
eign naval station; to arrange the mail and
trade service at SANTANA so that it will form q
neutral station, and become the centre of the
Caribbean Geographic cable service.
A brother of Gen. Baez and Gen. Caminero
had gone to Hayti to negotiate for a permanent
alliance between both republics.
