This loan hears mtereei at 6 per coot, a«d is tehee at t oests below par. This it leaning money to the 04+- crnmsstatl2 per cent, per annum, and, In fact, ores,twelve per cent. No man, transact ing a fair and legitimate business, can afford to peyauub ruinous ratss of interest for the use «>f money, and the Govoratwent can no more afford to do ft than an indicidual. When a man who wishes to borrow money lb willing to pay that amount for if, everybody who knows it, seta it down that he soon will bra&k ; and nine times out of ten, proves this conclusion to be correct. No man who has money to patent on interest, will lend It to any man at inch rates, without the very best security; and this cannot be giveD, except by liens or mortgages ou property. No man of good sense will stand security for auother, when his business is in such a condition as to make him willing to pay twelve per cent, per annum for money These truths apply with equal force to a gov ernment When it is iu a condition to be fleeo- ed by sharpers, it is in a bad way; and, if it oontinues to exist, it will become iaeupporta- bly burdensome and oppressive to its people, who have its wasteful bills to foot. The United States Government has been at the mercy of these thieving, plundering sharp ers for some lime past. It has been ealling for loan after loan, “shinning around” in Wall street, and running its “face” for the means to spin out a precarious existence; and the greedy money shavers have been dictating the terms upon which they would supply the means re quired, which terms have been acquiesced ia, just as the failing businessman will take mon ey upon any terms to eke out a few more days of existence—knowing all the time that the cask must come—that it can only be delayed, but not prevented. It is also remarkable, that the bulk of all these Government loans have been taken in New York city; and the same is true, when the Government was not so “hard up” as it is now. When the Government was trying to buy up its own stock, in 1856, and offering a premium of 16 per cent, for it, and could not get it for that, the same New York capitalists, who now take loans at 12 per cent, and up wards, owned the stock and would not part with it. $2,500,000 of the $3,060,000 awarded in the lato loan, was to • single bank in New York city. In this loan, $S,000,000 ./ore ca'led for.— Over $34,000,000 were offered. This shows that t he extravagant rates asked by the money lend ers of Now York is noton account of any want of confidence in the ability of the Government to pay back their money. They have only ta ken advantage of a time when political trou bles have cut off the regular flowing-in of sup plies at some points, and diminished them in all, to make exhorbitant demands. They ex hibit the heartlessness of misers, the world over, who will rejoice and gloat over the neces sities of their viotims, and let them have as much money as they can make sure. The mis er will gladly lend his money at a low rate of interest, when he cannot command a higher one. Now, the United States Government has had the ability, ell the while, to procure as much money as it wanted from New York bankers, at any rateof interest it might ibiak proper to pay. The Government has the moano, any day, to go into Wall street and procure every dollar that it wants, upon reasonable rates.— Why, then, has it submitted to the exhorbi- tAnt demands of these cormorants—suffering its own paper to go on the depreciated lietf— To our mind, but one anewer can be given : the Government’s agents, who transact this busi ness, have an interest in it, in some shape or other, by which they are compensated for thus thrusting their greedy hands into the pockets of the people. But how bas the Government this power ? will bo asked. We will show : The banks of issue in the State of New York are ell under a general law, which is called the “free banking system.” Any man can go iuto the banking business there and issue notes for circulation, who will comply with the terms of this common 1h»j. It requires that every man, or every firm who proposes to go iuto the business, shall first deposit with the Comptrol ler of the State, a certain amount of par atocka iu proportion to the amount of bills he Issues. If these stocks go below par in tho stock mar ket, the Comptroller gives notlee to the banker, who is compolled at once to run up his margin so as to make it equal to tho required amount at par, or furoish par stocks in lieu. A large proportion of the stocks so deposited, aaa basis or bank oapital upon which to carry on tbeir business, is United States Stocks. It has si ways been selected for this purpose when it could be had. It was less fluctuating—considered less liable to the continual rises and falls in the market, then other stocks, and it has always been preferred by the State authorities. This being fbe ease, it was a mailer of the highest moment to all thete bankers that these etocks should not depreciate in value, or go below par. If the Government had made known to these mtn that reasonable rates only would have been given far money, end that If they were n obm Mlfe g tw/ormek their meeeyMauoh rates, add thus rtfstatiin the credK of the Govern ment, i a whisk they am pesuanally so deeply interested, that credit might go down, the mon ey wewUI at owes have* keen fattheeming, in any regained amount end on proper term*.— Any considerable fell in -United States stocks would ruin the whole New York treding inter- perhaps, by thf^aiaeieen overmaster tliejb, eoomto * i he foriuatioltof a Non sSOKim Ivrnoa, tod pvaaaiblyoolj » : that la tX# pro beloved Common* pureuee a courat U*t aooordv with —a I toe, Wove, h administration, on thla li wanting the onmmoD fioaooiel ekill of e mao who lend, or borrow, money »n pleio notae of hand, or aleo It i. etoepod in peculation and villain, to t ,malign 0 f 'etuoaclptllon.

Tuesday, the second instant, lion. Jobug. Breckinridge, by special iuvitation of the Leg islature of Kentucky, delivered before that body, ao able aud eloquent speech, on the peesent state of theqatipfcr, w»d what be con sidered the duty of Kentucky is the present crisis We should be glad to lay the entire speech before our readers ; for wo are sure they Would all peruse it with thegaine interest that we have; but its great length forbids. It wood octupy alt our available space for two dajs, were we to publish it Mr. Breckinridge gives a history of the ef fort* which were made in Congress lest winter tessttle the questions at issue between the North and the South—the Crittenden propositions— the labors of the SenatwUommitfoe—the Peaoe Conference propositions—and the way they were ail received by the Black Republican ma jorities in both Houses. With a master band he portrays the hollowness, hear lies sue**, and utter infidelity of the pfopositioa of Seward and his party to amend the Constitution so as to prohibit Congress from abolishing slavery in the States, os well as their action in organising the Territories of Nevada, Ac., without inserting a prohibition of slavery in tho organic acts. He advises Kentucky to take a bold and decided position in conjunction With the other border States—one that is un mistakable. Ho thinks they should make their demands upon the North in the shape of an ultimatum—which, if acoepted, should be suf ficient to bring back into the Uniou ail the se ceded States; and in case of denial, that Ken tucky should “gather up these priceless prin ciples as her household gods, aud bear them to a sanctuary where they will be protocted by constitutional laws, honestly administered”— which, we take it, moans secession, aud unit ing with the Confederate States —though he d es not say that iu so many words ; The ultimatum which he recommends is the Crittenden Compromise. He says that Ken tucky cannnot take less, and that nothing lets will bring back theeecedod States. We annex the closing part of this eloquent speech, as follows—simply n niukiog that he is sadly mis taken in supposing the adoption of the Critten den amendments can lure us back. Time was when possibly we might have been induced to stay there, if the black party had proposed it, and honestly adhered to it; but no Buch bait can now tempt us from our bettor condition. Then here are resolutions which Kentucky regards as constituting a proportion which she might offer to the North, aud to the South, as a basis of settlement. It may be said that if she offers more there is no hope that the Northern Slates will accept it. If she offers less, there is reasou to believe the Southern States will not accept it. Indeed, the danger now is that thoae resolutions may not re unite all the States. I am perfectly confident that nothing less will npon the one side, and upon (he other I am perfectly satisfied that if the question can be settled at all, upon a political basis, that can be obtained. Mr. Speaker, movements ef this kind uever go backwards. They have been allowed to progress until sometimes, In reflecting upon the subject, thoughtful meo can acaroely per* suade themselves that there is a hope of re uniting all the thirty-four States iu the Uniou. For one, sir, it would gladden my heart be yond measure to see them all under one Con stitution, as amended by the resolutions of my distinguished friend, although 1 believe'that lima will develop that political affairs in this country, having taken a course not anticipated by the framer* of the Constitution—political affairs having taken a course by which teos tienal parties and elasses of 8tates, as such, rule the Confederacy without limitation—that it will be difficult to prevtnt frequent conrul •iona in the future without the full recognition of some self*protecting element by which tlie weaker portion may have the power to protect and detend itself. Hut if we could re uuil* the States upon the basis of these resolutions, thee* question* might b* settled yet. Now, Mr. 8poakor, what position are we to take In Kentuoky T Do we want to keep t hrso seceded Staten out of the Union ? Do we went to make some proposition to the Northern States that may just patch up a settlement that will leave the Union with half the South goue, and with the remaining few feeble Southern States members of a Northern Confederacy ? Then all we have to do is to clamor down the Criuoadea resolution, and to alamor up the name of Union without condition—without saying what are our rigbtn, and what we must have. Raise theory of Union withoutcoudi- tion, and you have the result. Those men who will rqject adjustment measures, and refuse to take a manly, open stand npon the ground of settlement which they believe themselves lobe less than the measure of constitutional right, and at the same time declare they are for tho Union and the Constitution, are in effect the kind of men who in tbeir purposes and motives are the very worn of disunionints; because they pursue a course that makes the perms nent disruptiou of the Uoion certain. They pursue a course that insores the petmanent dissolution of this Union, aud insure* the c-m* nsetion of this Commonwealth with a North ern Caafederaoy as a Free State. The men who are Union men in the true sense of tho word, desire to agree upon aouie plan of ad- justmett which may unite the States. They are more entitled lo the name of constitutional men ihau those who desire lo see Kentucky re main ia the Union without terms, and without condition*. What, then, would be eur tendi* < tion t Let us supposs that Kentucky and her associate States—those most intimately con nected with her by geographical position and by Interest—lake no ground in favor of a ministered tin a spirit qf anti slavery fouatioism ; for what loyal Ntwkern nan fCilid aland up In the North, w^ien half of the Sfiutli was gone, in defence pi the constitutional rights for so poor a fragment os would remain? We would fall beneath the aggresiive power of an over whelming parly. It would become Instantly a question of emancipation in Kentucky, A powerful parly would rise here for the pur pose of carrying forward such a movement.— Mr. Speaker, it.would succeed. It is horri* ble to contemplate, and nothing less than de cision and courage will yrevput ue froqs pee- .ing these spoolers in tho iuture as nowerlul realities. A party in Kentucky will bo raised to pul in practice the workings of etnancipa* tion, whether with or without compensation it will probably be a mere nominal matter.— But there is even a higher question than that of pecuniary interest involved. I have said that the Southern State* frill not allow the slaves to be carried there, aud the North will not allow them to be carried into their midst. Aside then, from the question of properly, ycu will l ave a quarter of a million of slaves thrown upon the soil of Kentuoky—a political and social curse. Then, sir, you will see trouble in the State, it is a social question, as well as pelitioal one. D is one on whioh every'vrhite tnan in Kentuoky Iioj an interest. If lime allowed, 1 think l could undertake to show that the non slaveholding white popula tion of Kentuoky hate ns deep an interest as any other people in resisting and preventing that accursed policy which is to bring tnan cipution into this country, end lo throw two hundred and fifty thousand negroes on the body of socie y It I nm wrong, l am willing to suffer the consequences. Jf I am wrong, it is ou honest error of judgpmeut. I am uttering my whole heart, my whole opinion!*, to a body thnt lias done me the honor to ask for them. Then, sir, I say it rectus to me that if the State of Kentucky refuses to plaut herself upon tome position that is suitable to her own history uud character; tithe refuhis to demand some thing alto may reasonably nsk, and nek with out bringing a blush ol ehauie upon her cheek ; soniethit g tout tin* muy offer to her brethren in the North and her brethren in tie South, she may prepare herself for wh.fever vortex chance may prepare to receive her iu. At the end of the territorial controversy, she may look upon the ruius of a dep uted Confcikrucy, herself shorn ot her power, a luiaerublw IV.tg- meut of an'i-slnvery Union. 1 hold that, iu euteitaiuir.g these sentimcuis, 1 am a friend to the union of ibe.-e State*, i confess that to mo itil strangely it oonprehrn sibie how well informed gentlemen can take sucii grounds; that they will full below, far below, all measures proposed by the propoai lions of my distinguished friend, yet declare they are, p tr excellence, Uniou men. when, if they will reflect, they must kuow that the ef fect of »heir policy is to make the separation of the States eternal. Will it not be our poli cy to try a course which may bring back the Confederate States, upon which wo can toy we lcel that we cun inninlniu our poaitiou, our substantial rights upon this basis—Bland long, plead long, to reunite all the States ; is it not better to pursue that policy, and propose suol a plan which we can get, if it is firm'.v, brave ly, and respectfully demanded from the North, if we can get anything? Now, Mr. Speaker ,it appear* fo me, • ir, (hat if the States of Virginia, Kentucky, Tennes see, and the other States that I have indieft ted, wero to take the propositions of Gov. Crit tenden, even make them stronger, if you choose, because if you can ever get it oil of the fanatical basis, and put it upon a political basis, it will be right, I am sure, —take them —offer them to the North aud the South—hold them out to both sections—offer (he olive branch to the North nnd to the South—try to reunite all these Suites upon this basis ; my to thorn, gentlemen, we were members of a Confederacy of thirty-four States, that has broken in parts—we hold oureelves free to say how far it shall be broken ; if we find it im possible to re unite you upon term* that we think you can rc-uuito with honor upon, then it is, sir, that 1 hold that the Commonwealth of Kentucky would be perfectly free to pursue whatever couree ber people may think conso nant with her interest and her honor. It is not appropriate for me to go farther aud baj what, iu such a melancholy contingency as that, 1 would advocate. It ie not within the scope of these remarks. Mr. Speaker, I hope it will not be consider ed diereapeetfel forme to make one addition al observation, i noi sure all will agree that whatever Kentucky Bhsll do in relation to this important question, ought to be done by the expression of a decisive majority of her people. Here t>he is, aud her purpose should be a just expression of a cltur unmistakable decisive majority of the people of the State. On e question so momentous as this, affecting her future destiny, a majority of a few huudreda, or a thousand or two of her people, one way or the other, might become a subject of con troversy or di-pute. D might be said we have been defrauded or surprised in the election — wo have been deprived of thecxpreeeioo of the deliberate will of the Stale. Therefore, sir, 1 hold ihat. her action should be the action of a distiuot majority ef her people. JL hold furth er, that when that majority utters its voice, that her citizens are bouad to acquiese. 1 have seen with pain end surprise intimations that have been thrown out that a minority of (lie people of this Commonwealth would add to our calamities the horrors of interne cine war, if the majority should pursue a course o, posed to their views. Let us think net that, Mr. Speaker. That should ba the last calamity that would afflict a Common wealth. M. Spanker, 1 have trespassed too long up on the patience of this assembly. Thecomh tiou of my health, and other causes, made it difficult for me to express the views whioh io 90 unpretending a manner 1 have attempted to havo done it iu sincere spirit of gratitude aud reepeet, upon the invitation ao kindly exffi- ded to me. I trust, sir, that the Stale of Ken* tuoky, which has not been preoipato, but has rHtr She Wjlt use all honorable efforts lo preserve the Constitution and to tetter# the Union. Bof, sir, If at last hat efforts shall fall—if the Constitution is to be perverted—if its spirit is to be destroyed, end the hibitation trust that the Commonwealth of Kentucky *41 Lift ill V.. ftl priUtLiftlc.
