The PREsIDENCY.-In the selection of a
candidate for the Presidency it is important
that true representative of the will and
principles of sound Democracy should be
nominated, otherwise, the nomination will
fali to secure the appreciation of the people,
and Will elicit no enthusiasm.
There are those in the field soliciting q
nomination from the hands of the Demo. =
racy, who propose to defer the payment
the national debt, that future generations
may have the privilege OF liquidating the
same, under the pretense that the war was
fought for the benefit of the future, and
those who are to come after us.
This theory of paying our national debt,
would be akin to the extravagant parent
who had recklessly involved himself i'll
debt and refused to pay his creditors, under
the pretense and hope that his grand child
rem might some day have the generosity to
pay off his creditors. The idea that gen.
Grafton is coming after us who will be COM
PEELED to decide the manner of paying our
public debt, could only have had its origin
in the brain of bondholder or Government
Shylock.
There can be nothing more certain than
that the bondholders would exult over such
programme. Why? Because they are
paying little or no taxes, and have the
bonds in the shape they desire. They have
mortgage on every mans farm, and sus-
pended lash over the head of every labor
ing man in the land by which they mean
to grind and goad them for all future time,
and hold their children and children's chill
dren as serfs. Isl.
While the bondholder is holding this cap
1tal and living in luxury, the masses are
draining out their life-blood by exhausting
toll to meet the demands OF the tax-gath-
erer and treasury thieves. These bond
holders earn nothing, pay nothing, and
fatten on the life-blood of the people who
are paying over six hundred millions of
taxes, that ten States may be kept out OF
the Union and the Abolition cormorants
may fatten on the spoils. ,... ...
How long will the people endure this
The bondholders and their pimps depre-
cate agitation, and are using every means
to quiet the apprehensions of the people.
THESE agitations will go on with increased
force till the bondholder consents to use
the same currency that is forced upon the
people. No threats can prevent this. The
people will present the altinsatum-Green-
backs or nothing. Will the bondholder
take them? Ii so, all will go on smoothly.
If not, let the Shylocks beware. Gold and
silver belong to all alike. They constitute
the peoples currency. If the people must
take Greenbacks, let the bondholder take
the same for his bonds and interest.
M of 70
candidate for President, the people, the
sound Democracy of the land, insist that
these principles shall be incorporated in
our platform and adhered to under all cir
cumstances. If this demand is evaded in
the Convention, we warn those who at
tempt to sell out, if there are any such,
that such step will be fatal to all pros
poets of success.
Give us Pendleton, or some other fit ex-
pohent of the financial ideas OF the people,
and our party will march on to victory in
November.
