per; he brings them home here to your
own city, establishes bank, Issues these
notes, and derives the interest six, or ten,
or twenty per cent, as the case may be,
when you borrow them.
Three hundred and thirty eight millions
of these bonds are, by the report of the
Secretary of the Treasury, deposited to
day as security in the vaults of the Treas
ury. Three hundred millions of bank pa
per are issued on the faith of these bonds.
Now, gentlemen, / maintain that this cir
culation ought to called in; that three
hundred millions Of these bonds ought to
be redeemed with legal tender, which will
take the place of that bank circulation.
What would be the effect of this! The
seventeen hundred millions of interest
bearing bonds would be reduced to four
teen hundred millions and eighteen mill
lions of dollars in gold would be saved to
the government from the interest which is
paid to the bankers for the bonds which
they have deposited.
Now, then, suppose You take these
eighteen millions of interest which is saved
and add it to the forty-eight millions of
dollars which these gentlemen say they
can pay from the current revenue, and
you have sixty-six millions Of dollars in
gold, year by year, and if you convert
that sum into greenbacks, at l40, you
have nincty-two millions of dollars year,
and if this is appropriated as a sinking
fund, you can pay off the whole debt in
less than thirteen years, without adding
one dollar to your taxation, or one dollar
to the circulating medium.

tary reputation alone has never added
strength to party candidate for the Pre-
sidency. If it were otherwise, it would
only prove the American people to be, in
political affairs, q, very unrefecting set of
bipeds. A man may be an excellent
butcher and not make much of Presi-
dent. All other things being equal, we
scarcely consider a taste for shedding
blood as recommendation of an aspirant
for civil honors and position; but General
Grant has evidenced nothing else which
should give him the slightest claim on the
support Of the people.

SCHUYLER COliax.

In lS54-55, Schuyler Colfax, the Rad
ical candidate for the Vice Presidency,
was considered one of the "brightest"
Know-Nothings in Indiana. His Demo-
cratic opposers will be very apt to venti-
late his then proscriptive views for the
benefit of the two or three millions of
Irish and Germans scattered through the
country. Mr.. Colfax swore in 1854 that
he would do all he could to prevent for
eigners, aliens or Roman Catholics from
holding Office, or even voting, and that he
would use his influence toward having
those in Office turned out. He is now ask
ing these same foreigners, aliens, and
Roman Catholics" to vote for him.
Here are couple of the oaths he took
"FIRsT DEGREE.-In the presence Of
Almighty God and these witnesses you
do solemnly promise and swear that II 4 X
you will not vote, nor give your influence,
Tor any man, tor any office IN the gift OF
the people, unless he be an American
born citizen, in favor of Americans rul-
ing America, nor if he be Roman Cath
olic."
"SEcoND DEGREE.-In the presence of
Almighty God and these witnesses you do
solemnly and sincerely swear n Il y II if
it may be legally done, you will, when
elected or appointed to any official station
comforting on you power to do so, remove
all foreigners, aliens or Roman Catholics
from Office or place, and that you will in
no case appoint such to any Office or place
in your gift"
A great many good men took the same
obligations and considered the act emf.
nently justi6able; but they can hardly ex'
pcct to be voted into big thing by the
people against whose political rights they
entered into SO bitter crusade.

Hon. George HI. PendIeton.

We devote considerable portion OF
our space this week to an extract from the
speech delivered BY Hon, George H. PEN
dleton at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on the
I'd of November, 1867, in which he laid
down his financial policy. When we take
into account Mr.. Pendletou's acknowledge
cd ability as statesman, his manly and
consistent adherence to principle through
ont his whole political career, his unim-
peached integrity, both as a public officer
aud private citizen, and then read his
views on the subject Of all others most in
'erc>sIDs 70 the American people at this
time, We can readily understand his Won
derfal Popularity, particularly among the
harI-wVrkias, intelligent. masses of the
WsSsern States There is scarcely any

nan ne grea, waves of his personal
ans 70li;i:al ?opularity, rolled on rather
;aa2 'raQeded by Radical efforts to stay
'atir FFOgreSs, will carry away in Novem-
her every hope Of the Jacobin leaders for
a continuance of their tyrannical rule. So
wonderful has been the change in public
sentiment, in the Western States particu-
larry, during the past three years, that We
believe Mr.. Pendleton, on square out
and-out reputation platform, would beat
Grant so badly as to make him regret the
day he temporarily gave up horse-talk and
undertook to run the political machinery
of people, nine-tenths of whom have for
gotten more than he ever knew-save per-
haps Of science in which he had for two
years the privilege of studying under
Robert E. Lee, without personal danger.

didate for the Presidency, is said to have

himself to the Radical managers, however,
and would risk ga war between the two

Presidency for himself:
Extract from Senator Doolittla's speech at Mil
waukee, October, 1861
The other day when General Grant was
here spending several hours with him in
free conversation on this subject, among
others, he expressed to him the same opin-
ion. Said I, "General Grant, l never
quote private conversation without express
permission. Am | permitted to state
what you now state to me?" Said he,
"Certainly, there is no concealment on my
part" And he stated to me in the con-
versation that considerable portion Of
the troubles between the whites and
blacks that had already occurred ,oas in
consequence Of the untcise attempt to
force negro suffrage in those STATES.
He said further, that if the Federal gov
eminent were to attempt to do it and en-
force it, it would undoubtedly produce
par between the t,oo races there.

Tho Bird and the Mirror.


A very pretty incident is related Of a
canary bird BY Georgia paper. The door
of the birds cage was occasionally left open
that he might enjoy the freedom of the room.
one day he happened to light upon the man
tel shelf whereupOn was mirror. Here
was a new discovery of the most profound
interest. He gazsd long and curiously at
himself, and came to the1cqnclusion that be
had found mate. Going back to his cage,
he selected seed from its box, and brought,
it in its s,biH as an Offering to the stranger.
In vain the canary exerted himself to
make his new-fouud friend partake, and
becoming wearg6f that, tried another tack
Stepping back few inches from the glass
he poured forth his sweetest notes, waiting
now and. then for a reply. None came; and
moody and disguised, ne flew back to bis
perch, hanging his head in shame aud
silence for the rest of the day; and though
the door was repeatedly left open, refused
to come out again.
