FELLOW CITIZENS We have assembled
for the purpose of deliberatng and con
sulting together. upon a question of the
most vital and momentous importance to
the people of these Pacific States and Ter
ritories.


We are here for the purpose of consid-
ering on the one hand how we are to pre-
serve the liberties of our people and on
the other, how we shall avert from our
very doors the horrors of civil war.


However widely some of US may differ
in opinion as to the best means of accom-
plishing this end, there are none, trust,
within the limits of this vast assembly,
who can find it in their hearts to object to
the object proposed.


When a prominent and influential citi.
zen is arrested without legal process and
thrown into prison without trial, with
out being confronted with his accuscrs,
without the poor privilege of conversing
with counsel, or even with friend as to
the means of making defense; and when
we complain Of the apparent outrage thus
perpetrated upon the rights Of fellow
citizen, we are met with the answer that
all this is necessary for the preservation
of peace and the good order Of society.


But. my countrymen-un address
myself to Republicans as we'll as Demo
crats-supposc it be shown that such a
course, instead of extinguishing the EN-
bers of civil war, has exactly the contrary
effect by blowing them into blaze, then

We commend the following declarations
of GREELEY to the consideration Of the
Cleveland Herald:


"But putting the morality of the proce-
dure out of sight, we feel confident that
General Mcclellan has rendered his canvass
less desperate by his letter of acceptance.


All attempts to coax or bully him
into change of his attitude before the pub
lie must fail for obvious reasons. 80


ave shall be disappointed if to-day's re-
suit in Maine, as compared with last Tues
days election in Vermont, does not show
that his letter has improved his prospects.
His party will of course be beaten in Maine,
but we think not Sc badly as they were last
year. Running on his letter as a
platform, he will poll good vote in nearly
every State, and probably carry five or six.


The Democratic party through its
chosen chief, g6irms that the iodr for the Union
must not close until the Union is restored.
Will Lord Lyon be good enough to inform
Earl Russell that, let political aspirants
mean what they may, the American people
mean exactly this?"


We cannot help thinking more highly of
Greeley tor these frank and unequivocal as
sertions, and if there are any Republicans
in Cuyahoga county who have been deceiv-
ed by the unworthy subterfuges of the
Cleveland Herald, we ask them to consider
these remarks from the first Republican
newspaper of the United States.-Plain

THE New York Commercial thus speaks
of the manner in which the National Banks
make money at the expense of the treasury;
The amount of notes yet paid out is not
more than S2,00O,O0O to all the National
Banks in the States. The principal business
of the institution is to receive the public
money on deposit without giving security
and lending back to the Treasury on five per
cent. certificates on deposit. The operation
| is profitable to the banks, but where the
Department finds its account in the trans.
action it would he difficult to discover. In,
dividuals as yet do not deposit in the new
banks. for the reason that unless they deal
exclusively with them, they by SO doing
would pu' their funds out of the circle of
business, inasmuch as that the old banks
will not receive checks on National Banks.
Hence he whose deposits are in the new
bank must draw them out and exchange
them for other money before they are ape
plicable to payments in the old banks
This is the general rule with the old banks
for the present, with some exceptions, be-
cause drafts and bills received by mail in
the course Of business must be collected
of them.

"Subjugation" has from the first been a
bug cry to frighten people with weak
nerves; nevertheless, it has produced no of
effect that can be seen at this stage of the
contest. In Arkansas and Louisiana, we
have two examples. Those States were SUBJ
iugated as much but no more than other
States can be, and just as they will be sub
Jugated. The process and the result have
shown, however, how improperly has the
term subjugauion been applied. Instead of
the crushing out and breaking down idea,
intended to be conveyed by those who have
used it, subjugation in Arkansas and Loui-
slana has been the freeing of the loyal senti-
ment from the tyranny Of the rebel lead
ers, who, by overawing the people, carried
State after State out of the Union against
their will, and have ever since held them
thus subjugated wherever the Federal arm
has not rescued them and again placed over
them the old flag. The truth is, with the
exception of South Carolina, and perhaps
Mississippi, the South was practically subiu-
gated and forced TO secede. The pressure
brought to bear by the leaders amounted to
this. 1t was not till actual collision was pre-
cipltated by firing on Fort Sumter that the
leaders were able to force out even Virginia
Had the Union sentiment been left free, we
doubt whether these States weuld have Sc
ceded. 1t is the emancipation of this SEN
tlment, and not the subjugation Of the peo-
pie, that is causing States to return to the T.
Mon fold and it is this that will finally re-
store the Union. Let the distinction be kept
readily in view.
