NOTES AND EXTRACTS.

1t seems as though, so far rs the West
is concerned at least, should there ever
be contest between contraction and in
fiation, the Republicans would be found
on the side of gold and silver, and the
Democrats f:lvnring soft moncy.-Kala-
mazoo (lici.) Telegraph.
We hare passed through terrible Or
deal; but Useless repining and querulous
expressions of discomfort poured fourth
upon all occasions will not highten the
worlds opinion of that boasted chivairy
and manhood which we would have it
believed is characteristic of the Southern
peopie.-Lgnchbarg Pirginidn.
The different comments which Mr..
Preston's disloya! speech has excited
from those brought out by Gen. Bart
let's remarks at Lexington, show which
of the two ways the wind of public sem
timcnt is blowing throughout the coun-
try. Hardly anybody is found to conf
mend Mr. Preston's ill-advised harangue.

Gov. Alien is swinging around the
State. The old man actually imagines
himself candidate for til. Presidency,
and thinks he can sail in on paper
money hurricane. SO much for Pot
metal Allen.-tfac;angti Commercial.
And as the first years work of Mr.
Bristuw has passed in review, during the
last few days since the statement for the
fiscal yea. h:r: been published, the YER

Ii the Democratic party, after fifteen
years of political servitude, can find no
more potent ra!lying cry than "hart
times" no nuble. standard than paper
dollar, then its hostility to the Republic
can party rests upon an exceedingly
tiimsy foundition.-,S. Louis Reputii-
can.
1t is never good po!icy to force the
debtor into a corner. The men who are
demanding specie payments and forcing
the Government 20 pay TIC bondhoider
are impoverisiiing the people, and caus,
ing the awiu! shadow of Reputation to
fall upon the land. Deal ieniently
with the ovcrburieued people, Messrs.
Observation-Disclosures Enquirer.
1t looks now As if the demons of infa-
ton and reputation had been cast out
of the Republican party and had en-
tered into the Ohio hog ,-cracy, and that
the herd of liaboiized swine are running
violently down steep place into the
lake, where they arc going to be choked ;
and thus this the scriptures will be full,
illed.-,S. Paut Pioneer Press.
In one view the country needs "more
money!" that is it needs more OF the
money which is infexiblc in value,
which nobody can regulate, which circu'
lates without any guarantee, and which
needs no redemption. The country in
short, needs return to specie payment,
and when this is arrived AT there will be
no cry for more money."-.Spria9tfed
Register.
The demand for honest money Is Ger.
tain to be made the cornerstone OF the
creed of the Republican party. Between
Republicanism and specie payment on
the one hand, and Democracy and rag
money on the other. the people of the
country will not hesitate in making their
choice Press.
Some issue must come to the front,
and if the Republicans shall generally
discard the third term and all that is
implied in Grantism, it is difficult to
conceive what issue can take precedence
