O ONSTITIJTIGNALIST. AXJGHJST'k. GhA. WEDNESDAY MORNING. OCT. 28,1808 c : * I / j(i i I• I -I t '.!.*■ LET US SAVE GEORGIA. 1 Since,the appearance of Gov. Seymour upon the stnmp, the Democracy of the East ana West have been ronsed td a fresh cour age and enthusiasm. Indeed, so 'marked has been this revival of the earlier aspira tions of the canvass, that many, who. were despondent, a tew days since, beginto hope for the best respits ip November. One thing seems to be very certain,, and that is the splendid re-forming of the Democratic line and its determination to make an on slaught upon Radicalism which shall' de moralize, if not shatter, the enemy’s front. Sioee the East and West have emerged from the recent partial defeats With a mbre glorious 1 eagerness for another bout with the foe, let Georgians emulate somewhat of this ardor and spare no effort, between this day and the 3d of November, to carry the State for Democracy by, at least, twenty thousand majority. No'matter what betides elsewhere, we can and must save Georgia. Let us, then, catch some of the zeal now ani mating our allies everywhere: Let us re spond to the shouts of the unterrified De mocracy of the East and . p£. work with redoubled vigor.. Every voter mast be brought forth. l * Let other. States go as'they will, we Cannot afford to lose Geor gia, and, if our friends are not’criminally negligent, we shall not only save the State, but save it by such a majority that Radi calism will dread to behold, and, beholding, dread to confront. The Brow-Martin Scandal. Ex- Governor Brown is out in a long commu nication in the Atlanta Intelligencr brand- g ing the letters published in the LaGrange Reporter as forgeries. He .backs, his denial,,, with certificates from Judge Wmtaker Major Steele, Rev. W. T. BraKtly, the Cashier of the National Bank at Atlanta, and a number of other parties. Dr. Brant ly says: ~ Atlanta, Qa,, Sept, 2s, JSfiS. Hon. J. 1. Whitaker: I have no objection to putting on'paper the opinion ;I expressed to you respecting the anonymous letters and bic roglyphies which Mr. Martin charges Governs or Brown with having written to bis wife. Any impartial man who makes'the comparison must see, I think, that the letters are very clumsy imitations of Governor Brown's hand writing. I am sure that I have often 6een counterfeits which were mueh better executed. When I first saw the publication, containing the letters in question, I remarked to a friend that they bore; to my mind, internal evidence of forgery. A subsequent examination has but confirmed my first impression.*svc&.v .»'■-■■■■ >~t- You know that Governor Brown has been one of my nearest neighbors for more than two years, and that I nave seen him duringtthi s period Almost daily. It strikes, me that if he. were the character indicated by the. letters as cribed to him, some evidences of the fact would have transpired under my observation. But so far from this, I have never seen anything In him, or heard anything from him, inconsistent with the utmost chastity. Governor Brown (as you are well aware) and myself are on very different sides in our politi cal view, but this shall not restrain me from declarhvg'niy conviction of his entire innbcence in the matter in question. "SucKcharges, ffiough intended “ lor the benefit of the Democratic party,” can do us no good. “ Non tali a-uxllio neo fstia delfaisoribua Tempus egel-J’ Veryjlruly, yours, f, . i 't n i A Strange Omlssion.—ln t'reeent speech, the Hon. Roscoe Conkling alluded to a ride with General ShertdaN, thus : “As we came back through the rain, Sheri dan, by the by, riding a white horse, which he took from Breckinridge, | laughter and ap plause]—Breckinridge, that Demoeeatia Vice- President who used to preside.in the,Senate of the States at the same time he was plotting ,lhe overthrow of the capital and the .-ruin, of his country. This elegant Gray,.Eagl<? Horse came from Breckinridge. As we came back he pulled , up, and turning to me, said f , ‘There is one thing l wan] to know of yoq—l want to, fluow ; if John Griswold is going to be elected?’ | Laughter and applause.] Said I, ‘ I think so, General.’ Said he, ‘ Sure ?’ Said I, -‘ I think sure.’ ‘Well,’ said he, ‘ I tell you one thiug. No matter what else happens in this election, if John Griswold is.oi>ly. elected ,Gqoereor of the State, of New Yprkl.shall throw up my hat and burn my boots.’ [Great laughter.]” Having confessed to the stealing of the horse, it was a strange omission to inform Conkling from whom he expected to steal another pair of boots, in case hd had to burn his old ones. Generous Bullock !— How many pau per negroes have we it! 'Richmond county, and how much are we taxed to support them ? How far would a poll-tax, levied on each negro, go to help these paupers, if any? The Columbus Sun thus testifies as to Muscogee: . # “ Muscogee couuty has fortyj or fifty pauper negroes in her Poor Rouse. She has no money in her treasury, and has been compelled to bor row mouey at two per cent, a month to take care of them, Bullock will not.permit,negroes to be taxed to bear their small share, of this burden.’* Th£ “'Govfcrnflr” who thus endeavors' to impair the credit of Georgia, is ‘vainly cry ing his bonds. for sale in. York. .No wonder, then, the World exclaims; } l Don’t bet on Grant, gentlemen. There is a bet ter' way to test your confidently in the triumph of the principles he represents. Buy bogus bonds.” . ~ . . . „ .... In tre Depths.— The gencer, solitary and alone, keeps, aloof from-; the Democratic revival. If- it contemplates making fair weather with the Radicals; the following extract’ from the 1 ’ Washington correspondence of the Baltimore Sun, of the 23d, stabs that hope to the heart. The cor respondent says \ , ,f \ ~ “ The Grant and Colfax Club had a meeting last Highland decided to spot all el«y§pt,h : bqur Republicans, and declared their opposition to allowing Democrats, a]_ this lqte day, to con tribute to the Republican cause.” Alas, for the National Intelligencer ! “ Equal Rights.” —There are but 10,000 nlate negroes in the Northern and \V<tete!rn States. Os these, none are allowed to vote in the West, and only 1,000 in five of the New England States. In the South, 750,000 negroes are allowed to vote indiscriminate ly. In order that these creatures may vote to some effect, 170,000 white men are dis franchised in Virginia, 65,0.00 in Texas, 70,000 in Mississippi, t . 50,000 in Missoni, 80,000 in Tennessee, .besides about 250,000 in other Southern States, making a grand total of 685,000. And that is what the Radicals call “ Equal Rights.” - - : - Tit for Tat.— The New York Time* proposes Horatio Seymour fjpjv of Spain.

What is this republican form of govern ment. ? Why, look at the condition of those States. Suppose that almost all the voters i tliis Commonwealth should suddenly be jprivecl of the franchise, ami ill their place was bestowed upon h set of men Wl)0 ere entirely ignorant of the value and re aonsibility of the voting power—who new nothing about any of the principles ijn regard to which they were voting.

[From the ColumbusHunr ~ Sistoryi i* t ; An European letter writer recently put in print the following assertion: j“ The Hungarians efljoynbW-Wdays, perhaps, more liberty than any otner nation on the con tinent. They are uow witnessing at their thea tres performances of scenes from the war of 1848-4), which are represented on a scale of extraordinary magnitude and with a great deal of display,’*.. .(,i ~u u .«. .. ■Yet for twenty years the Hungarians wiere the most oppressed people of Europe. Fjor daring to make fight in defense of their constitutional privileges they were oyerrun ahd enslaved by the superior power of Austra. Scenes of cruelty were enacted witlv , id tfie? -borders of their cOuhtPy that -shock-' ed the moral sense of the civilized world, ‘ahd that stood without until Radicalism established five military despots iSm in the South, aud.sent five malignant ahd unscrupulous satraps to run. them.— The horrors visited upon the people of. Hungary after the revolution of 1848, were never approached, until Meade with his de tectives and sweat boxes drove them into "ignominious obscurity in 1868. The leaders of the -Hungarian people were driven! into "banishment just as John Pope desired to drive all of the intelligent and virtuous men ■of his district. Some sought safety iu exile, others served out long--terms of impyison •ment. The people of Hungary so they laid flown ihear eems were depriv'd* of -ajll political privileges and denied all per sonal rights, They lived under the rule of the sword and bayonet, and the world had almost forgqttep that there was such a pilace as Hungary, and thflt the Hungarian pjeople had left the record of bright deeds Upon the pagfes'of * Austria had subdued her rebels, she ruled them with cruelty and exhausted the ingenuity of cowardice to find means to torture and de grade them. , i If our readers will just make the change o|f a few words, the picture will appear familiar to them in every appointment and detail. Hungary suffered with fortitude and fiaith, as she had fought with courage and devotion. In the meantime, Austria, bloated witli success, ciossed swords with the Emperor of the French. combat was brief butdßoody, and the-despbiler and oppressor of the field of defeat iv, si ri;r n* tfim s. 11l HjL-Jap '"lhtf'ili ' of the day of ty years she b u l ' n hope. Her sublime faith and fortitude were rewarded, for m a.short. twelve month her old constitution, the rights, franchises and privileges of her .people were restored. Ilgr defenseless men, helpless women and inno cent children w T ere no longer exposed to the brutality of Austrian military gover nors and their soldiery. Now we learn that Such is the freedom of Hungary, that at her theatres, are produced military dramas and spectacles founded upon the incidents of her struggles of tweqty year * ago. Is'tHerie-ifot in all this a lest-on foil of hope to us? We do not desire to dramatize thescwiqgr or cicada it)f our .revolution the Northern versions of them fire now dramatized, to rekindle the passions of the populace. They, have gone down to history aqd are embalmed iu our hearts anil memo ries. But we want political privileges re stored. We desire to have the Constitution under which we were poim and reared, and in defense of whose principles we shed «eas of blood and spent millions of money, re stored to the only people who ever respect ed and obeyed its provisions. These things will come so sure as the world revolves. But we must possess our souls in patience, arid resolve, as Hungary did, to suffer and ejndure and wait for the Nemesis of Na tions.

Governor Seymour left Rochester this morn ing fiy a special car on the Eric Railroad for Buffalo. Before leaving the Osborn House, Governor Fenton, who visited this city in his official capacity, to take part in the inaugura tipn of the new arsenal here, arrived at-the ho tel, and paid his respects to Governor Seymour. Aj heavy snow storm had commenced' iu the morning, and continued during the day. The first stopping place was AT AVON, wjhere, notwithstanding the unpleasant weath er, an Immense assemblage had gathered, com posed not only of citizens of the place, but delegations from neighboring towns. Gov. Seymour was escorted to the platform in front of the depot, when he was introduced to the audience by W. H. C. Hosmer, the poet, amid the greatest enthusiasm. He spoke as follows: ; Fellow-Citizens : I left my home for the purpose of speaking in Buffalo arid did not suppose that in the course of the journey to tliat city I should have occasion to speak to any other audience. But last night, in the city of Rochester, I was called upon to address one of the largest gatherings that I hive ever met id Western New York, and all day, along the rbutc, there have been demonstrations, such as Ijßee here, upon a few moments’ notice, that give proof that the people of this country are disturbed and agitated with regard to the con duct of public affairs. At a time like this you dlo not expect me to address you at length. I gjo forth as your candidate, not because f sought H, but because you bade me to do so. [Cheers, atad cries “ That’s true!”| I go to speak to this people, not because f wish to do so, but because you have called upon me to go into tins contest along side oWyou. [Cheers.] I respond to your call, and if we are successful ip this battle, as I believe we will be, I trust the day will come when our Republican friends firill lav aside the prejudices against our per sons and our positions, aod will sec that we have been contending for principles of govern ment that should be as dear to them as they are to us, and that it is well for our country thaf there was a party that stood up to restrain the excesses of their own leaders. Far be it from me to stand here or elsewhere to utter oue word of reproach to our political opponents. But I believe ii to he true to-day that there are many among our Republican friends firmly ad hering to that organization, who feel in their liearLs that their leaders have gone too lar. [Cheers f I know the day will come when whatever may be the measure of our success they will acknowledge that our action has been of service iu keeping alive in the public mind the sense of the value of these great princi ples which, in the sense of (he value ot these great principles which, in tfle end, they will siee themselves were perilled by the headlong policy of their leaders. And iu saying this f! am only expressing what has been more plainly, and even harshly, said by their own Wisest men and ablest journals. 1 thank you for this expression of your good will and re gard. I trust that the future will be all glo rious for our country, whatever may be the result of this contest. X bid you good bye. . [Great cheering.] The party accompanying Gov.

James Humphreys, chairman of the meeting, ca’led the assemblage to order at half pjtstß o’clock, wbttr Governor Seymour de livered the following address: • ADDRESS OF GDVEkNriR* SEYMOUR. 1 Fellow-Citizens : Tbe first words uttered by the Republican Convention, in their resolu tions, congratniated tbe country upon tbe suc cess of thorr setaemcof reconstruction. The last Words uttered by their speakers and their, presses declare that reconstruction is a failure ; that the South is still in a condition of rebel lion; that its social disorders demand tbe pres ence of great armies ; and that tbe first duty of Congress, when it meets, will be to turn recon structed Georgia out of the Union. | Applause. | 4t the outset of this .canvass the Republican Warty asked to be continued in power upon the ground that it ha# governed tbe country for the past four years wisely and well, an.d thus demanded a popular approval of their *pblity.— After a full discussion of three months, touch ing the wisdom, the integrity of the policy of the Government with regard 'to reconstruction abd finance*, it is found that order has uot been restored at tbe South, that the burdens of debts have not been lightened, of the evils of op pressive taxation hare not been lifted off from .the labor and industry Os the country, its they should have been. Driven from their first ground, aud feeling that the people of this country were unwilling to approve their acts, they now try to hold power by making the people believe, not that they have done well, hut t hat the Democratic party would do worse if they succeeded at this time. To prove this they aver that the success of the Dem ocratic ticket will involve tbe country again iti civil war. They feel that nothing short of civil war would be worse. [Cheers.]— They have declared that tbe Democratic nomi nees are ready to overturn their legislation by force. To make the charge still more dramatic l am to be sent to final' account at the hands of nhy political supporters, and General Blair is 1 ' then to tumble beneath his feet tbe reconstruc tion law* as rmhlessiy.as GeneruL JVfgade now stamps them .o ( ut by his militaryorders',.with, the concurrence of this same Republican party. If 1 am to go- to my last account Lfrust l shall be judged Jn. . world.,,hy.a MndfiEiftnA more charitable tribunal than my Republican friends have proved to be. [Laughter.j If the Democratic, ticket in,elected and General Blair should reach the Presidential chair, how. would , the case stand ? IJe would be confronted by a Kieau, Senate, by tv {lp.use .ui'.Representa ll of generals, by the army of ,iboUni ted States, flanked by the Loyal Leagues and by the grand nrmiefc of the Republic, ‘under the command of their own candidate for the Presi dency; whotmehey-declare to be the first cap tain of the age. And vet aye are?gravely told; that, standing alone, shackled by Congressional restraints, ho can cl uSh out all this opposing power and plunge the country into civil war,-*? if this is true, then. General Blair is either the most vigorous 'linin' Who has lived in the histo ry of the av’orid, oy Republican Senators, ruetn-' bers of Congress and commanders of armies are the most imbecile men avbo ever disgraced public positions. [Cheers J Ndri' I admit there is a fear in the minds of ilie Republican it Is n<Jt, 'th;k abiiuftf’fear—it i„ the dread that the public mind, having beeri ttliTiecP to its financ.al and political policy, is reaching conclusions .which will sweep them from politi cal power. Therefore tUev seek td change (fle issue; therefore they have changed' tlielrfront iti this contest. We are iidiiionislred that ft Is a dangerous thing to change front on tbe'eve of battle. I propose, in.the CQ_urse.of.lhe canvass, On occasion's'like this',‘to discuss the policy aud conduct of the men in power. Todiight, I in list confine myself iqa points; elsewhere 1 shall speak of other tyi bngs and errors. When this War was ended, nearly four' years ago, it left the Southern States disorganized a,nd im poverished. The duty of restoring peace and prosperity to that section, and .putting it into condition where it eoijit! adjl io' the naliopal prosperity and aid to hear Its burdens, fell upon the Republican party. The difficulties of the task were increased j>y the , fact that its population was ip.ule tip of two ilKHnet facet, one of which had ffeen held, in slavery, aud was now suddenly .called upon,, untutored as they were, to act a hew. pgrt iii Our'social aud political system. 1 (In not wish to underrate the difficultiesjvfth which.they had to contend; but the tnagniLude of these-djffieullies.dpjiiand od tlia: they should enter upon the task 'in a wise, great and thoughtful way. Armies alone, canpot bring back prosperity or. a tlttc .spasp of the value of order' to n community,. They can only restrain violence.

As the two raocs were to live upon the same soil, their common interest catted (on hartpony of puropse and., of feelings. Under this state of facts "wise men woqld seek aid of the most intelligent and inflnentlal 'lrieri of that section of . the eoniitrypuiklog care to guard againstany influences springing from.tlK.-ir »re judiees. Have these oliyious (ruths been re garded by the men in power ? lias not recon struction failed because they disregarded them? The first step lovy-ards restoring order and.pro- ■ ducing harmony between-the races was, al-- ways to minister to Of that sec tion, which prosperity would he sh:ired alike by the white man and the negro. The-indus try of the South should be maue profitable, unless the eipplbyer made a profit upon Ins' cotton crop lie could not pay the Jafjorer.— Failing to?do this, 'the disaster brought not only poverty, but confusion and discontented True statesmanship.would have stretched out a helping hand, but what was the first act of the men in power?.- It was to put a monstrous ex* port tax of siiToeutsa poqnd upon tfle cotton: raised by the labor of the uegro qpou tiie plan- ■ ftuiou of the white. Struggling Wlth tbe evils 0 Os poverty, with tiie difficulties'rif tiieir ncw, positions and relationships, the first ft*ble : ef- ■ forts of their people so gain the meaus of'livdtt-' hood were- blasted by an unwise, selfish and'-’ vindictive act. I say unwise, because it hits much to do w tth the future ot the Republicans j,o restore? Order at tho south.' Thd negro, ex 1 - jtsperated by ihu feffflye ,qf his ruined employ er, became, hostile -to ldni. The employer, losing the little credit that be had betore in the North, renewed his "efforts under still greater ffifffeqltijßS tjian before. I say ft 'was a 'Betffsti act, because it"W4S dope iff the interest of the Eastern mauutaeturer, already wealthy from the fruits of the war, protected by enormous traffics. This tax ol six cents a pound upon {ll cotton exported was simply imposed so bat he might buy it for a price six cents less thau it was W"°rtU itr lhe markets of the world. fsay it, was a Vindictive act; tor it yog will ead the detfß|.e itr Gotigress,- when- this tax was levied to cover the selfish iuterests.that prompted it, you will find that it was urged upon the members" from the Western Stales, who voted' agaiifst the interests of their.con stituents, upon the ground’that it was to-be Imposed upon the South as a penalty. And [bus we find that.the black and the white mag . Es the South were alike..stripped of the .market alue of their staple product under ciretuu-.. tances of Bueh great difficulty that they were iudered' and not helped ’on the road to pros perity by tbe men in* power. [Applause.] - ; I might go on and show how, in addittbn to this v/rong, they were trampled upon by mili tary despotisms; holy they were placed under the unrestrained power of vagrant men, who gained wealth and official positions by ministerr ng to the passions Qf the public grid keeping tlive disorder. These men, who now in tiie Senate of the United States, without consti tuents, vote down the Senatorial representa tives of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois jand Indiana, gained their power orcr the South hnd over ns, because they miuisteredjtftpasjtpjj in the Nprth and stirred up disorder in the South.

This is a perilous relationship. It jcould not lyell be avoided, But the evil coiffd jhave been mitigated B there had been W wre-fc land economical nd vbifth shopld jhave kept down the volume of indebtedness— But the nien'ln power saw fit to do anomSh thing.

Tr'bey to the holders of Govern meut bonds the privilege of issuing bddk bills' banking' systepu -ThiSj waa a-jarivil^je-ote-euormous. vaSue! Twill not s'top now to discus's tbe wfs dqm of that system. As Governor of this State I returned a law authorizing our banks to or gajuize under that system, because I saw, as far back as 1863, that it imperilled the future liar tnpny of onr Union.. Tbe point to which I wish toi call yonr attention is the unwise and unjust fnanner in which this, great, privilege was dis tributed. _Wi6e tien would Took to see how it could be given out so as to minister to the gen eral prospenty of onr eemntrye Bnt regardless of) all tbjs, this great; was given to tbe, fiijst comers], These wjere maiflly. firom the old and tich States, wbich'had been enabled to take up the Government bonds. Thus not only oar debt, biff,, pgr. cutrepey, ,iwas sectionalizcd.— While ,the State. of Massachusetts, with, about 1,100,000 inhabitants, has about 157,000,000 of tliis currency,'the -Btat* of Illinois, with about twice that populatioiwTins less than *10,000,000. In the State of Rhode Island they have about S4O to each inhabitant, while iu Illinois, Michi gan, Wisdonsra UddP other Wt'sterh states tMV'' hive only about *B. If so much eurreucj?'re gpod for Massachusetts, why is it not a good < thing out Wost ?; [Cheers | But the injustice of this distribution waa the least .of thg, evils wliioh came of this lack of foresight and salesmanship. ~ It. is no answer to say,- '■i'l justification of this inequality, that the West had as good a chance to get this priv ilege first as {the otherßtates. This was not' a j matter to leave- to chance. The Western States were not then in a condition to secure. Is currency, for the very reason that 'they' sth eerie U It. JLf the'rule ol ffropOsitioriwas’ be disregarded, it Should tiaVe been fTohe in ■ Qt? of the very States that now have the attest share. Iti was the duty of Wise slates liShfp fo.sec that the currency Was "given eti it wonia be of the greatest settvfce to jlie blie. It may be aSktfd ts the West Wife.not e to take bonds, how.WPU,l(l, they avail them ves of this privilege r If this action had 3U reversed, and 57,000,000 had hfecn given to : State of Illinois ancr '9,000,000 had beeu ren to the State of Massachusetts, which •uld be much mote lai#’ than the present dis tijibution, the people of Illinois could not have established these banks, .twft the .capitalists of New England and New York would gladly hjive Sstttblistrcfl banks in ' these States for the sake of tbe advantages gained. - Now, this vfould not only have been more fair, as any oue sees, but it would have avoided a great evil, to Whieh l-will «nll yonr- attention, and in eon sidering this will.- not go-so fat? as to say that any State should have dess than its due share. The people of the . Northern Atlantic States who hold about two-thirds of all this currency do not need this amount for their business pur-- poscs. Their modes of conducting business do not require this form of credit. Form erly, the banks ot the city of New York did not deem it worth while to issue notes for circulation. We now see that at cer tain seasons of the year they eeud currency to the West to bring forward the.crops. When it is uot needed for these purposes it is accumuv lifted in vast sums iu the cities of'Now York,' Boston and Philadelphia, where, as it is not Wanted for regular business purposes, it i&used t 6 promote unhealthy and demoralizing specu lations. If we turn our attention to the agri ; cnlttmd States of the West,- we- lind that they db need currency in their business transactions, and. that they suffer great evils and-losses front the want of It. It is necessary for the welfare of our country, and tor the health and comfort oi our people, tliiit tfie"’Wlieat', corn, beef and pork ol the West should be sent to raaiket not only to feed our own people, but by its sale in foreign lands to pay tae interest on our debt a fid for the articles we* purchase, abroad. This is the first great financial necessity of our coun try. The best .commercial paper is that which i* made for this object. It is payable at the commercial centres at short dates. ’ ft .lias not opl-y an acceptor at. the fjast, -but ft is fortified by -a Viiil of sale of the very property which is bought by its proceeds. Why is it that this commercial paper-, made for purposes so essen tial and meritorious, so amply l secured, and having about it every feature which commands credit, commands the monstrous interest of ten or twelve per cent.? This is a-very grave question, affecting the welfare of every citizen of our land. Thete is a very great wrong here at tbe very basts of the business prosperity" and persona] emutort of tbe people of these United'BtateS: When the Western dealer in pro duce goes to the baukersot CtHcago, Milwaukee Toledo, or other- commercial 1 centre;, of the West, and offers a draft-payable at, short date in an Eastern city, of undoubted credit, to get the? euireney to buy the wheat, beef, pork, or wool of the-Western farm he is charged 1 this etjonnous interest, and when hfi objjoets that it is ruinous aiK[-i;qjqst,'htj is tokl that the banker can do no better, that ltd" has no currency of his own, that lie cannot get it for himself ; that the whojo volume authorized by Congress has been taken up mainly hi the Eastern States; that iu order to get this eui reney he (Hie hank el) must-go the East and ‘borrow it, uiit] ;puot pay fin iiftdrest, for its usti, tupu hcu\ust charge ail the iutyrqst atiil another interest as a compensation for himself; , Then, says the bor rower,‘l liud that! must pay interest to two bankers 1 . Is it right that.

Now all ibis is true; and here is a great wrong wnieti ten !s to produce ill-feeling between the States; a jealousy of the predator States, and a sense of injury which harms the national credit. This unwise diStrfbutiotl of thf? ptiyrenpy lies at the foundation of much of the feeling ifr eerl - set'Uous of.ogr country against the bond holders.. It is no unusual thing .!,o see if stated in the papers of Chicago and other Western cities that the grain market is eljepkpd for want .. qf that etirreney which rightfully belongs to that-section. Not only-is the farmer? thus paid a lower price for his produce, but tire cir rlers upon our lakes and canals and the Whole commerce of our country, internal amt-• foreign, are' Injured by this lack -of fore sight onttje part of ■6ur rulers. | Apfd<uise.J But the evil does not stop here. When the ciirren-; ry lias been used to plage the agrieuKunvl pro duels in the tnat'ke.s ;-of the East, and is no lpugur neerjed for those purposes, It piles up in vast volumes? nr the cities, of New York and Boston during she winter months.
