Our National Securities.

Jay Cooke & Co. have written a letter in
opposition to the proposition to pay the o.
nited States Bonds in greenbacks, in case
the holders refuse to convert them into the
proposed new issue. In it is maintained
that ''the bonds were offered directly to the
people and sold at prices which coul1 not
have been obtained but for the distinct I'M
derstanding that they were payable, princi-
pal and interest IN coin. The writer with
great force says:
IF the Government should pay in green
backs, what is greenback but promise to
pay dollar, and if 500, 900, OOJ of green
backs should be issued to pay the 5-2Os, must
We not afterward pay them, and if so, in
what but gold? Such an issue of paper mon
ey,every thinking man knows would totally
unsettle values and indefinitely remove
the resumption of specie payment But on
the other hand, without any increase of cur
rency, in reasonable time, specie payment
will be resumed, gold and greenbacks will be
in equal value and to pay the bonds in gold
will be no hardship.
As to who are holders of the bonds, data
is given going to show that ''the capitalists
are in very small minority, and any legisla-
tion repudiating, in whole and in part, the
obligation of the bonds of the Government
would fall most severely on widows, orphans
and people of small capital, who invested
their money IN those securities in perfect re-
lance upon the representations made to
them by the Treasury Department, directly
and through its agents at the time of their
ISSUE ;"

To Vote as a Unit.

We think the State Convention did very
wise thing when they took measures to in
duce the vote of the State, in the National
Convention, to be cast as unit Hereto
fore the delegation from Pennsylvania has
gone 10 the National Convention in frag-
ments-electeG in the various Congressional
districts, they have gone too much in the in
terests of different candidates and politicians.
and the result has been that the choice of
the great majority of the party in the State
has formed no expression, or if any, an ex-
preston SO feeble that it has only been heard
to be disregarded. But under the recent
action of the State Convention, the Repub-
lican party of the Keystone State can make
itself heard. Our claims can be presented
with efficiency ana force, and, We have every
reason to believe, that, when they are thus
presented, they will be cordially admitted by
our sister States, and our great War Gov
ernor->'the soldiers friend'-will be placed
on the ticket with the greatest captain of
the age. With such ticket, the party o..
Liberty and Law will sweep the country.

JBLICAN STATE TICKET.
The Tenure-of- Office Bill.

The last C7earfeld Republican contains
the following extraordinary declaration:
"If the Tenure office bill is in violation of
the Constitution, the President is bound by his
oath to disregard it. The enactment of such a
law is Congressional usurpation,
So thought President johnson, as well as
the writer of the above extract, and, in con
sequence, , he did disregard" the law instead
of submitting it to judicial decision.
In contradistinction of the assumption of
the writer in the Republican, we give the
opinion of Hon. Robert j. Walker, whp is
known to be a Democrat of the strictest
sect, and a man acknowledged to be well
learned in the law A few days after the
removal of Mr.. Stanton it was rumored in
Washington that Mr. Walker had advised
Adjutant Thomas not to attempt to enforce
the order of the President. This being de-
MED, Mr.. Walker made the following state
ment:
II called upon Gen. Thomas early Saturday
morning, at the War Office and commu nicated to
him, in a friendly way. my opinion that any such
order would be nullfty. and would subject him
to serious consequences, especially if any such
collision shoul occur told him that he had
of Congress upon tie assumption that IT lcas m
Constitutional, amt that If this .the
President might aside all fhe lars of Congress
s,nce the foundation of the Gouer,iuent upon the
ground that they were unconstitutional. That
the President possessed no such power, because it
was not an executive, but eDciHsfUefy jnairtai
po,cer, and that all the kays Of Congress mast be
obeyed by the President unless their execution
restrained by the highest judicial auth ority That
to declare latc consitutional was not only the
exercise of judicial power, bnt the highest jhicfai
potter, and only to be resorted to by the courts
where, in their Judgment, the act was clearly
constitutional and that in all doubtful cases the
court had uniformly refused TO interfere with the
execution Of the law"
Now, we think the opinion of Mr.. Walker
is worth at least as much as that of the wri-
ter in the Republican, and he asserts that
no right is inherent in tthe President, to
ito disobey law OF Congress upon the as
sumption that it was unconstitutional,
and that oil the la,cs of Congress- must be
"obeyed and executed by the President un-
less their execution was restrained by the
highest judicial authority" Bpt did the
President pursue such course? No! Then
he is justly and legally amenable for having
violated the Tenure-of office law, notwith-
standing the declaration of the astute writer
in the Republican that the President is
bound by his oath of Office to disregard it. >"

JOHNSON AND DAVIS. Who could have
prophesied three years ago the events that
have come to pass. How people would have
laughed at the idea that the President of
the United States would be brought to trial
before the President of the so-caled Con-
tederate States, yet time has brought this
forth. The trial of Jefferson Davis is to
take place in May, while the trial of An
drew johnson takes place now, and it is ten
to one, that the trial of johnson will so
orag on, as to force postponment of the
trial OF Davis, for Chief Justice Chase is to
preside at both.

BELGraEaENr-vERY-the writer in the

pLErGERENT-vERY-th writer in the
last Republican,. Hear him:
''Peiiow citizens of CIearfeld county,we appeal
to you are you willing to longer submit to the
outrages of the drunken tyrants at Washington
constituting the Rump? Will you longer hug
the consoing phantom of forbearance, under the
false idea that the time has not come to assert
your God-given rights as free citizens Of the
country"
Hold Hold! Enough!!! Who wouldn' t
gin in" after such HI appeal to arms,
as that? And, no doubt, the drunken ty
rants at Washington, like Davy Crockets s
coon, will ''come down 70 onct and sur
render.
