to remain loyal to the Constitution of the
United States, still they feel that Mr.
Bavis is suffering for them—that if he
has committed a wrong, they are equally
guilty. Hence they cannot resist feelings
of sympathy for him, and think that
every indignity, insult and injustice offer
ed to and inflicted upon him is offered to
and inflicted upon them also. They watch,
with jealous care, every step taken by the
Government in reference to him, and
would hail with shouts of unbounded
pleasure the issuing of an order for his
release. If, however, the authorities are
determined that be-shall be brought to
trial, they demand for him a fair and
impartial trial. Let there be no packed
juries, or partial Judge connected with
the investigation. They ask that there
be no further delay in his trial, or, if this
be not granted, that at least he be removed
to a healthy location, and not held in
Fortress Monroe, to become the victim of
tho diseases of that latitude. Surely a
great and victorious government, like
that of the United States, can afford to
be just, if not generous, to an honorable
but fallen foe. Surely tho enemies of
Mr. Davis are Wot so anxious for his blood
that they will resort to the cruelty of
confinement in an unhealthy locality, for
the purpose of destroying his life, or will
disgrace the American judiciary by pack
ing a jury, or placing on the bench to
preside in his trial a partial and an unjust
judge.
If the Amerlcuu people ai» cm i«t.
one in heart again, it must he preceded
by a display of justice and generosity on
the part of the party now in power; and
that party can give a manifestation of
that spirit in the case of the great and
illustrious prisoner of whom wc are wri
ting. We will not say more at this time,
but, until wc learn to the contrary, live
in the hopo that the voice of our people
may be heard, and that no harm will

National Banks.
The following copy of a letter from the
United States Treasurer explains itself:
Treasury of the U. States, )
Washington, May 10. }
Dear Sir :—Your letter of the 10th
inst, has just now been received. Y^u
ask to what extent i* the Government
liable for the redemption of the notes of
the National Banks ? t answer to the
full nominal face value of every note is
sued by the Comptroller of the Currency
to a bank and by a bank put into-circula
tion. You ask “ should the bank deposit
with the United States Treasurer to se
cure the circulating notes of the banks
depositing them be inadequate for thcre-
demptiou of the notes of the bank,
by reason of a decline of the securities
deposited, is the Government bound to
redeem tlie notes at par?” The 07th
section of the National Currency act not
only gives the right to forfeit all the se
curities held, but for any deficiency the
Government has a first and paramount
lien upon all the assets of a defaulting
bank. I, therefore, answer this question
affimatively.
You ask again, “ uouiu the absolute
failure of a National Bank impair the
circulating notes of a bank making such
failure 1” I answer, no; on the contrary,
the notes of a national bank that has fail
ed are rather better than those of a bank
of good standing, if away from the busi
ness marts or commercial centers of the
country, from the reason that the Treas
urer of the United States becomes the
cashier of such defaulting banks, and will
through his assistants and all other Gov
ernment officers, redeem such circulation.
You ask fourth, if “ the notes of the
men, and we have done it well. The
platform has with a singular unanimity,
been adopted. A ticket, coin
men up to the Jeffersonian standard is
put in nomination, and if wc do not suc
ceed in the coming election in makiugthat
ticket triumphant, We at least so fat' gain
as to deserve and secure a success in
1867. Wo cannot overcome the majority
of sixty odd thousand against us, but we
can reduce it. Have we not reduced the
majority of our oppoueuts from twenty to
thirty thousand ?
We have now but two solid Democratic
members in Congress. I proclaim here
to-day, that my word may go cut hence
to the Democracy cf the land, North and
South, and to the States excluded from
participation in this Government, while
subjected to its burden, that Ohio will
send to the fortieth Congress from eight
to ten, and possibly twelve, Representa
tives. I promise this, for 1 truly believe
it can be done. Just now one essential
work, the only thing needful to be done,
is a majority in the fortieth Congress to
the end that the States which are now
excluded from representation shall be
brought back again.
Continual allusion has been made in
the platform adopted to-day of a deter
mined purpose to adhere to the principles
of the Democratic party. This may seem
strange in the cars of those who have
proclaimed that the Democratic party had
[assed into dissolution. I beg their par
don for undeceiving them, but the destiny
of that party is not to die. The party
that lias shown the vitaHty the Democratic
party has for the last five years is destin
ed to an existence coeval with free insti
tutions. With the same principles in
scribed upon their banners, they are des
tined to speedy triumph again. He
speaks as the fool speaks, who tells about
disbanding that party and yielding it up
and substituting another name, or yield
ing up one solitary principle.
But a little while ago aud it was at the
peril of our lives that many of us atten
ded our conventions. Everywhere we
held our lives in the hollow of our hand,
and we all the time were subject to con
tumely and reproach. But the Democrats
of Ohio came here heavily armed, for
they vindicated that right, and continued
to conic, till times have changed—till the
President himself the chosen of the Re
publicans, is now stigmatized as a Demo
crat, and we find ourselves indorsing the
President, not of our election, in his hon
est attempts to restore the Union by
bringing back the States which seceded
and giving to them their constitutional
rights. The Democrats have resolved to
support him in that great work of reason,
and we are bound to extend to him, not
a mere passing, but an earnest and aggres
sive support.
I know it is said by his enemies, by
his own party, or rather, by the party
which had an existence, but which has
hoce who support the President be represented pro teni. by England. In

United States Treasury, beyond the fact passed out of existence, that the President
is going over to the Copperheads; lie
could not get into a better party. Who
are these Copperheads ? Why, the men
who for the past five years have stood in
the breach, have endured reproach, con
tumely, arrest, imprisonment and exile,
and have stood fast and true to the priu-
of their being a legal tender, are a greater
security to the holders than the currency
of the national banks? The United States
legal tender notes afford no greater secu
rity to the holders than the currency of
the national banks The only real differ
ence between the two is, that while the
be re-elected in 1868, and be succeeded
by legitimate descendants.*
But Johnson is not to be driven a'
long as he remains President. He will
refer all the acts of the so-called Congfess
to the Supreme Court of the United
States, and Unless somebody puts some
of its members out of the wily, those acts
will be pronounced unconstitutional, and
time will be gained for a further appeal
to the people.
I believe the President will not attempt
any violent measures, to drive those men
from the Capitol, though I think he
would be justified in doing so, for they
are not a constitutional Congress. They
are usurpers. Our remedy, hotfCvCf, is
yet a peaceful one. Wc accept the ap
peal to the people : but if, before its re
sult is known, or after that time, they
should, under the form of impeachments,
attempt to depose the President, I say he
would be justifiable in bringingthe whole
power of the army and navy of the United
States to prevent it. [Great applause]
He has no right to inaugurate Involution,
but he has the right, and I believe he
will exercise it, to defend himself in the
occupancy of his office.
I would say to the President, maintain
the Constitution, and da not think there
is any Democrat hefe who Would hesitate
to stand by him if the attempt should he
made to drive the President from his
high office. I would avoid revolution
We have six months in which to avert
this terible calamity. With their defeat,
the relative positions of the Democratic
and Republican parties would be reversed
—if there should beany arbitrary arrests,
wc would make them ; if there should be
martial law we would proclaim it.
I desire peace in this land, as the first
wish of my heart, and it is our duty to
put forth the most strenuous efforts to
secure a majority in the House of Repre
sentatives, and, if possible, in the Senate
of the next Congress.
I have now briefly and without premed
itation, spoken on some of the subjects to
which your attention must be directed.

For the relief of the public mind on
this subject, as there seems in some sec
tions to prevail a wrong impression about
it, we will state, from information derived
from Judge Wicker, Collector, now hav
ing an office in this city, that it is the in
tention of the officers at present having
charge of this matter to so order it as to
prove the least inconvenient to the people.
The object is to collect first, in those
counties where the people are supposed
to be best able to meet the tax, and to visit
the counties which were overrun by the
armies and so badly injured, afterwards.
This postponement will be very accepta
ble to the people who are now stru^^lin"
1 • . _ oo O
to recuperate their wasted fortunes.
V e will state also that there is no one
at present connected with the Direct
Tax Commission who belongs to the Rad
ical school of politicians.
The tax is three dollars and thirty-three
and a third cents on the valuation of one
thousand dollars, the officers accepting
the valuation placed upon real estate by
owners in 1S60, as appears by the tax re
turns for the State of Georgia.
