STAGED by some but we do think that they were
sent QUE by parties working in the interest of

and the fact that they were distributed
mostly to Post-masters only, and that no men,
Der of the Town Committees. whose names the
Democratic managers would be likely to
know, were supplied with them, as has been
the case with all documents issued by the State
Committee, goes to chow that they did not
come from this last named body. We think
after looking the ground over carefully that
they undoubtedly came from Democratic hands,
and that their object was o carry all the Cath

some extent they accomplished that work. In

A speedy return to specie payment is de-
manded alike by the highest Considerations of
commercial morality and honest Government.
The present depression of business is caused
by the reaction from the unhealthy stimulus of
an excessive, deprecated, and irredeemable
currency; by enormous ill-adjusted municipal
State, and Federal toxatiop, and by extrava-
gance, waste, and peculation in the admnistra-
tlon of public affairs. The remedy for this evil
is not to be found in the renewal of these
caurSeS.
In the tace of the fact that the existing vol
ume of currency is greater than can be alb
sorbed by business; in face of the fact that the
recent fall of prices was followed by repeated
inhations, any attempt to iDcre Use the currency
would he worse than Intellectual to revive pros

cesses of industry; it would be worse than fu-
