centum of the amount disposed of.”
Huehwas the i6sucund such tlio appeal
then mndo by. Mr. Bhennan of Ohio, ns
chairman of tho committee in behalf of
tlio bondholders. , I have now heford mo,
in tho-N. Y. Herald, of tlio ftth of Aug.,
his siK’ceh delivered at Canton, Ohio, on
tho Uth, from which tho following are
extracts:
• “It is easy to show that, tho democratic
party owes its long defeat to Its dependence
upon Its name nnd history—upon some
cant phrases nUd base prejudices against
a negro, who though not a White nmn, is
still a man, and upon the political power
of the most hideous institution tlml ever
existed in a republic. The trinity of lliat
party was democracy, negro and slavury.
The republican party must legal wisdom
from the history of the old parties. Willie
we arc true to our principles, proud of our
history! "o must look to “the future and
not depend upou our good works in tlio
past. What then are tho issues involved
ill tlio canvass that all'cet our State or tho
nation? For though tills Is purely n State
contest, yet its iulluenco extends to rnnliy
uational questions.
“Tlio lust-".question is tho proposed
amendment to the Constitution of the U.
States, calk'd the Fifteenth Amendment.
Tills declares that no State shall doprivo
li.v citizen of tlio U. States Of his equal
ight to vote, by reason of race or color.
* * * We owe it to our constltucncy
as a party, we owe it to the generous prin
ciples that have actuated us in a great
struggle, liot to cense oiir efforts until tlio
Constitution secures to every ninncqunlity
ill rights and . privileges. When this is
done, ns I am quite sure It will be with or-
without the vote of Ohio, the republican
party may look over its past historv. Fif
teen veal's of labor and struggle, though
they have been checkered with many loss
es ami sacrifices, Ibnugli tcusof thousands
of bravo men have given lip their lives,
arid a great publiri debt rests upon ris, yet
onr country has received advancement;
glory nnd progress amply coihmonsurato
for all theso losses and saerilicos. Tbo
war was a necessity wo could not shirk
fl-om. If wo had yielded to.tlio demands
of tlio South, slavery would have boon tlio
national nnd controlling element of the
governnient,-dnd by slow stops tho Union
of our fathers would have melted into dis
jointed local govern'uiQnts.”
It is apparent from theso oxtracts that
tlio Honorable Senator would persuade
tho pooplo. of,Ohio that tho fifteen years’
labor and Btrifggle of his party nnd nil the
sacrifices and losses of the wiir, including
the public debt, will he nmply compensa
ted by tho emancipation of our slaves and
tho adoption of tho filtcoutli amendment.

And what arc tlicSe measures? lie
tells Its: ■ j.-. „
Perhaps the most pressing of theso
questions are those growing oitt of tho rev
enues and expenditures of tile national
Government. Wo nil agree tlmtexpondl-
turcs should bo reduced to- tlio- lowest
amount consistent with tlio public honor
nndsnfilty.* But wliat Is that? Does this
include' new Pacific licit Roads? Does
tills include tlio improvement Of your riv
ers and harbors? Docs tills demand n
fbrther reduction of your Army and Na
vy? Does this include new bouuties to our
braVe soldiers or the soldiers of 1812?—
Shall- wo build new forts for onr sea de
fence or leveo tho Mississippi river? Shall
wo fight tho Imlinns or gather them into
reservations or turn them over to ourqua-
kcr friends? ■ These are the questions of
expenditure. * * * There is one kind
of expenditure to which tlio people might
not to object, and that is tlio payment of
tho puhlio debt. * * * Allow me to
say in this connection, what I notice .with
regret, an inclination to repeal tlio income
tax. * * * . The condition of tlio cur
rency is a much more difficult and danger
ous question. It is a standing disgraco
and reproach that our dollar ofmromisu
is only worth soventy ceuts. *.•* * *
I trust ttie republican party, will liave.tho
courage to grapple with tins question and
restore tlio currency to tile standard of
vahia in Use among all civilized nations.
Tlie national hanking system was never
a partymeasure, but-spruiigout of tho
vital necessity during tho war of. absorb
ing the State Bank paper. It accomplish
ed tills purposo and lias furnished us an
admirable currency of uniform value
throughout the country, and bas„d.on the
highlit securities. M 6 must have two
additional qualities, without which it will
not bo sustained by any party. The cir-.
dilation must lie more Oqnlly distributed
among tho States, or it must bo open and
free to hank wherever organized, and Us
notes must bo paid in specie. This can
only bo when the United Suites shall have
resumed specie payments on its notcs.-r
These two conditions complied with, tlio
system in mv opinion will he tho best bank
ing system over organized in any.country.
It is hardly necessary for me to prove that
paper money must exist in every eommor-
cinl community, and from the nature of
the- business n Government cannot cou-
ductit. '
There is another about which It seems
to mo there is a great deal of useless dis
cussion, growing out of tho uso of mere
phrases without defining thoir meaning.—
Theso are revenue tnrifi'nml protective
tariff. « * * T’he preeiso distinction
between a revenue tariff and a protective
tariff! nover could mako out. * * * *
I do not consider it necessary to say
much about reconstruction. Tho into reb
el States are gradually assuming their
rights ns equal States in tlio Union; labor
and capital arc adjusting themselves to tho
.changed relations of master .and slave.—
Tho productions of tlio South this year
will npproach tho highest productions be
fore the war.' If the Republican party Ims
committed nhy error in its policy of recon
struction it 1ms been on tlio sldo of liber
ality and generosity.”
Mr. Shenuatl further says that—*
“Aside from the . interest on tho public
diibtand the pension fund, neither ofwhfcll
can he. materially chnngod by Congress,
the national expenditure lias been reduced
to 8100 (loo.noo, nnd certainly ought to ho
reduced within Hint slun.” And adds:
, When wo consider the rapid increase of
cause to complain of any act of his ad- our country, not’only in population but
■ j. connlrE 'Uiis is ns small n sum us will
the surrender, ho siiid to toe: uminhiiu the Government,”
“Ifyou dcsiro pence, nil that will be. re-1
quiredofyou is to acknowledge the au
thority of tho United States. If you w
to keep your slaves, vote against the
amendments to tile. Constitution. I can
not tecnl my proclamations. Whether
they are binding or not .will be a question
for tlio courts.”
As a proof that ho came to Washington
resolved to net in good faith, ho said that
it was at his instance and request that, af
ter he came to Washington, his friends in
Congress passed a resolution ns follows!
lratrent-tho''.Convention to pniiso jimt

a comparison of tbo system of banks thus
eulogisod with tlio system proposed In my
Memorial. These bank notes ate payable
in national currency. Tho notes Issued
•ill debt being hilt ten millions of dollnts.
I refer to the contrast between the cost of
maintaining tlio Government then nml
now, nml would remind you that tho pay
ment of the debt lu 1832 left an nceunmia-
tlng surplus in tho Treasury, nnd that the
partisans of Mr. Van Buren formed a
cumhlnntiou for tho purposo of specula
tion; that limy seized upon tlio puhlio
funds, organized a system of Pet Banks,
and nlthough tho animal sales of public
inndsfor lliefour years preceding llioclec-
tion of Gcn’l Jackson, were less tlinn one
million of acres, Hio sales in 1833 were
15,030,801 acres, and lu 1830 they were 20,-
107,833 acres,
It was apparent that
who managed tlio pet hanks had used the
credit, created by the transibr of tlio pub
lic deposits to them, to speculate In tlio
public lands. This lod to tlio transfer of
tho surplus revenue from tlio pet batiks to
tho Stntes,.aud this, with the specie circu
lar and the complications iu tlio European
money market, as explained ill my Memo
rial, led to tlie financial erisisOif 1837, and
tlio political re-orgauization of 1840,
As we arc told that subsidies for now
Pacific Rail Ronds may form one of the
prominent issues upon which parties will
ho organized, I would urge that it will bo
tho part of wisdom to profit by tho expe
rience Of tho past, and therefore I hnvc
suggested ilv my Memorial a plan which-
will enable tile pcoplo who resido on or
near tlie lines of otir Rail Roads to so vi
talize their credit in connection with sub-,
scrlptlons on the part of-tho national nnd
Stiitu'GovernmcntS, Hint by tho aid of tlie
system of national hanks, which I pro
pose, and tho subscriptions on tho part of
tlio national nnd State Governments, and
tlie towns! cities, comities, nnd existing
Rail Ronds interested in the construction
of now Roads, forming parts of tile great
Bystem which is' indispensable to the fu
ture development of our industrial .pro
gress, tlft land owners, arid people, living
ing on or near the Roads, may,'by a pruden t,
use of their credit, construct their own-
roads find regulate tlio rates to hecliargcd
for travel and transportation. Contrast
such a system with that which is implied
by the issues suggested Ly Mr. Sherman,
and I refer to tlio report made by Mr,
Isaac N. Morris, Coiiiniissiqdoii, appoint- 1
ed by tho Government, to examine nnd re-,
port, upon the Fncifib Rail Road, dated
May 28th, 1803. IIo says that tlie Union
and l’acific Rail Road Company will rc-
ceivo In Government bonds, 828,750,702,
nnd a like slim in first, mortgage bonds,
which are a prior lien upon tho road; and
gives a statement of tho cost of construc-
tlonnnd equipment,showingtliat tho bonds
and tiro subsidy will be, “835,040 per mile
abovo tlie cost of tho road!” and says that
in addition to the cost of construction nnd
equipment .of the road and a lino of tele
graph, “there is still left 832,000 per mile
in mortgage bonds, in the hands of tho
Union and Fnoifio Rail Rond Company,
making in all 834,752,000, for tho whole
length of tlio road, 1,080 miles,” and tills
is a surplus, over mid above tlio cost to
which lie adds the value of tho laud grant,
841,702,400, mid says:
“Add this amount to tho 834,752,000 of
bonds and we liavo a sum total of 875,454,-
40J, enough to make sovonty-five mUlion-
Mr. Morris does not includo-ln his esti
mates the Central Pacific and otlior con
necting lines to which subsidies have been
granted, but ho forewarns tlio government
that inasmuch as a few individuals own
tho first mortgage bonds, which are a pri
or lien upon tlio road, they can, nnd ho
believes they Wlllt foreclose tlio mortgage
and sell the road, and defraud tho Govcrn-
mcnt.of tlio large sum duo upou thcsubsl-
dics granted by Congress. . Ho says:
“Tho Government 1ms supplied means
far more than sufficient to build the road,
mid why should it bo given away? What
moral or equitable right lms any set of

I do not hero refer to tho rumors and
ohnrges tending to create a holiof that
members of Congress • were interested
parties, mid, ris share-holders participated
in th6 immense grants of tlio public credit.
I quote Mr. Mortis’ official report to show
that tlio system of subsidies is liable to tho
objections whlcu lie makes, and if |ierso-
veredin, wlllerento nn organized money
oligarchy, concentrating iu the hands of tv
few tho control of our railways, and ns
their control of our railways will depend
upon thelvcontrol of Congress, It is obvi
ous that, under such a system, bargain, in
trigue, mid'.management will soon make
ours thq most venal and' corrupt govern
ment on tha face of tho earth. Sir More-
ton Eeto tells us liint he nnd his associates,
of tlio London Bond of Control are now
receiving from ten to fifty-five per cent per
annum profit on their investments In our
rail roads—that farmers iu tlio West burn
their corn beenuso limy cannot pay tho
gors of tlie eijsis In winch wo are placed.

It Is Dark.
The following beaut iful sentiments are
from Meister Karle’s sketch book entitled
the “Night of Heaven.” It is full of
touching tenderness: It is dark when tlio
honest and honorable man sees the result
of years swept cruelly away by the heart-
loss adversary. It is dark when he secs
the clouds of sorrow gather round, and
knows tlmt the hopes and happiness cf oth
ers arc fading with his own. Hut in that
hour the memory of pnst integrity will he
a true consolation, and nsuirchim, even
here on earth, oi gleams of hope in Heaven.
Itis diH'k when.the dear voice of that
sweet child, oneQ fondly loved, is no more
heard in murmurs. Dark when the palter-
ingfootnomorc resounds withoutthc thres
hold, or ascends, step by step, up stairs.
Dark when some known air recalls the
strains once-oil'attuned to the childish
voice now hushed in -death! Darkness
—but only the gloom which now heralds
tho day-spring orimmortality aud Infinite
light of licitvt'Q.”
