THE BALL HAS COMMENCED
TO ROLL.

During the latter part of last month
there was 4 meeting hell at Mozart Hall
in Cincinnati for the purpose Of per.
r-~.i-~ sy-~'--'s~-- IN renndiata 49,
swindIing bond-holdipg national debt
An address was read aud resolutions
adopted looking to that end. Among the
speakers at that meeting was the Hon
George 8. Pugh, ex.Uniied States Sen
ator from Ohio. The Cincinnati Eaguir.
er gives the following sketch of bis re,
marks
"With respect TO the reputation of
the debt, he had not fully made up his
mind, but he was for stopping the inter
est now, and for looking into the proprie-
ty of paying the principal. Propositions
that he thought fair, had been made TO
the creditors, and rejected. lie thought
they should haze been long bonds at low
interest, say three per cent. General
Grant had made fvc hundred repudiators.
where there was one, by his inaugural
speech on the debt and its being paid,
principal and iatercst, in gold. He
thought Gen. Grant had no business to
make that declaration.
What the address stated was true, that
no public war debt had ever been paid,
in any age. Tho only public debt, he
believed. that had over been paid, was
that paid by General Jackson. lie
thought the address had omitted the most
important argument for repudiation.-
That was the Infamous corruptions of the
detective revenue system, with its rascally
hordes Of spies, inlormers, and thieves
and robbers, which had made the country
bye word of reproach. The arguments
of the address were, however, able and
lucid, and he was not prepared to refutc
them. He would make an end of the
national banks, which, he thought, we're
ruinous establishments. He was, and al
ways had been, for hard money, and he
was devoted TO free trade more so now
than ever, for he had thoroughly studied
it. He went to the length of advising
perfect free trade. He would abolish
the duties on every kind and description
of imports, and he would rent out the
custom houses TO the Sisters of Charity
No man was prepared, on short notice, to
concur in all that was said, and we'll said
in the address, which he intended to read
and make up his mind"

VALEDTCTORY.

BY reference to the local column it
will be seen that our connection with
the "Democrat," as editor aud co.pub=
Usher of it, has been severed. In tax.
ing leave of our readers we have only
q few words to say at present, When
we first became connected with this
paper, we only state truth patent to
SCORES of its readers when we say it
was pretty eifectually used up;-the
public having no confidence in it
whatever. We went te work, how
ever, and patiently and carefully laid
the foundation. BY degrees, slowly
but surely, public confidence was re-
stored and we have the satisfaction
of stating that it is now in a prosper.
,oGs condition. In addition to this,
the Democratic vote has been increas-
ed, both in the city and county, and
we leave the party united in the last
degree. We have for some months
past-particularly within the last six
weeks-been very anxious to with
draw; but have never seen our way
clear to do so, until very recently.
With the best wishes for the prosperi-
ty and happiness of our readers we
now bid them final farewell.
