To the wealth Of the nation, upon which it is
NOW so GREAT drain. This immense debt, It
nermitted to become permanent and increasing
must eventually be gathered into the hands OF
the few, and enable them to exert dangerous
op1 controlling power in the affairs Of tbe Toy
eminent. The debtors would become the ser
wants of the lenders-thc creditors the masses
of thc Deople. 1t is now our boast that we nave
g;ven freedom to three millions OF slaves; 1t
will then be our shame that by their own to!era-
tion of us1rpation and prohigacy, forty liions
of neople have enslaved themselves, and eX-
changed shareholders for new taSkmaster3 III

Hence the vital issue whether Congress anal It's
arbitrary assumptions Of authority shall super
sede the supreme law Of the land -Whethcr IN
time of peace the country shall be controlled
by multitude Of tax collectors ana StanQlhg
army, the one almost as numerous as the othcf,
and making the debt permanent burden upon
the productiveindustry ofthe peopc;or whether
the CONSTITUTIONS, with each and all OF ITS guar
antics, shall he sacrediy preserved: whet hernoW,
as in 1889 and 1916, provision shall! be made
for the payment. OF our Obligations at as cary 4
period as practicable that the fruits OF their
labor may be enjoyed by our citizens, rather
than used to build up and sustain a moneyed
mopopoy at home and abroad. The contest IS
not merely who shall occupy the principal Gin,
ces in the peoples gift, but whether the high
behests of the Federal Constitution Shall be Oh
served and maintained, in order that Cur llber-
ties may be preserved the Union Of the Sta
ties restored; that our Federal system may be
unimpaired!; fraternal telling reestabishedI; that
our national strength may be renewed the ex-
penditures diminished, shat taxation may be
iighteued; and the public debt once more g ex,
tinguished, that it may not I'M uriousIy affect
the life and energy, the prosperity and morals
of the nation.
Believing that for the redress of the great
wrongs, and the correction OF the many abuses
under which the country Is no" laDorng, we
must look to the American people, and that
in them is our hope, am, very truly, your
friend, ANDREW JOHNSON.

The DARIEN misunderstanding to the New
York papers, Secretary Seward attended the
meeting at the residence Of Peter Cooper in
New York on Tuesday evening fer the purpose
Of discussing the question Of commencing WORK
upon the projected canal across the lsthmus OF
Darcn under a charter granted by the last ses-
sion of the New York Legislature. An agent OF
the New Granada government was present, as
were also q number Of prominent merchants OF
the city. Ii is stated by the Times that MI;
Seward is strongly in favor Of the project, and
it is proposed by it's friends to bring bill re-
garding it before Congress when ltreaSSem oieS'
on the ground that the cost of the Work, $780,,
600, 900, is too great to be betrayed by private
individuals. 1t is held by the friends Of the
enterprise that the cost with profit would soon
be returned to Government, through tolls on
vessels using the canal, which would be about
forty miles in length
