The sectional strife, which but snort

known as the Senate Currency Bill, will
be greatly Intensified by President Grants
veto Of that important measure ePcclaIly'
when /. is patent to every one that bis ac.
ton in tho premises was not prompted BY
those lofty considerations Of craftsmanship
which should constitute Tho only rule Of
conduct for tue President Of q great he
public. This veto can be viewed in no
other legitimate light than a terrible blow
to tho laboriug people OF the country
many Of whom are out Unemployment, and

pie to cling to old party ties that they
have been very slow il, arriving at o tuII
realization Of tue causes that have led to
such general disaster. They arenow fully
aroused, and desperately belt on obtaining
rcliofiu some way, aud it's idle tosuppoS'
that the will II one man can ultimately de-
feat the ends of justice.
10 1866, when We had plenty Of money
10 circulation, business OfeVcry kind pros,
pered, no one complained Of hard times
enterprises of different kinds spFaus up
and the people we're happy aud contouod;
but it was prosperity blooming like o
flower upon mountain in which is con-
cealed the fires Of a volcano. Within two
years from that time tho currency was re-
luced from S1,57l,7S7,7S0 to $685.
5S2,347. We all remember too well the
panic of last September, when banks not
only suspended, but furnaces wero stop
ned, and manufacturing establishments
run on half time, causing general distress
throughout the land. In this dilemma,
the peoplc looked to Congress for relief
and their representatives from the West
and South without distinction OF party
determined after long struggle with last
EN- capitalists, that there should be an 10
crease Of the currency, but Grant by tow
dashes Of lis pen has undOno oil that had
been SO wisely accomplished.
A king is interested alike in all Of his
subjects, but Grant, tho President of a
Republic, exercises the prerogatiye con-
forred upon him by the veto power in the
interest Of one section over all others.

The action of the KanSWhn Democracy
in uniting so harmouiously upon q plat
form Of principles, is no! only calculated
to strike terror Into our alVerSarIeS, but
will impart moral influence to tho party
throughout tho State. which will tell most
eFcCtualy 10 tho coming canvass.
We bail this demonstration from that
source With unusual pleasure, because it
was omiueutly proper that this county, IN
view Of her party troubles, should have
placed herself right before the people.
She is a large and populous county, aOd
being the Capital Of The State, is looked to
upon the eve Of every contest with no
small degree Of interest. Now that she
has spoken out so boldly and unequiVO'
cally upon all the issues between the two
great parties Of the country, and indicated
determination to battle as unit for such
principles as should constitute the basis Of
a iudicious administration Of the govern
mcut, her past divisions will no longer in
vile that severe criticism to which enc has
been so long subjected.
The declaration, that ut is our duty to
see that the highest standard Of fitness
shall prevail in all. nominations and that
no unworthy nnmo shall be presented for
popular support" is but the Keynote OF
popular sentiment upon this subject, and
a recurrence to fundamental principles,
