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.

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.

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 consider tho fqets given, in .theso .quota tions, qmWrst as to'the present system oft Nujional Hiulks.

I invito 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 inen lo it? The money of tho pcoplo built 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.
