The West and Republican ism.
A oontkmpobabt crIIs attention to the fact
that in six of the Western and Northwestern
States the Republican party baa gained in
the late elections 60,000 votes over 1834.
Indeed, if we examine the figures carefully,
we shall find that, according to their popula
tion, the Western States are more thoroughly
and overwhelmingly radical than the Eastern.
A Republican majority of 15,000 In Indiana
la equivalent to a majority of 30,000 in Penn
sylvania; and Iowa's 40,000 majority Is upon
a ratio to her whole vote which In New York
would give over 200,000 majority.
It is not long since the enemies of the
country were felicitating themselves upon an
assumed diversity of sentiments and inte
rests between the East and the West. When
the war of the Rebellion broke out, the seces
sionists and their friends counted largely upon
alienating the West from the national cause,
and a "Western Confederacy" was the dream
of more than one prominent Democratic
leader. But all these hopes were destined to
disappointment. The West gave its men and
its money to the cause of the country with an
unsparing band. The result of the great con
met baa been to bind the East and the West
together more closely, and to weld them into
one great homogeneous community . Their
political sentiments are identical, and find
expression through the grand Republican
organization. ALuding to this fact, the Rich
mond Whig bitterly says :
"Juntas we thought, just as we said they
would do, the radicals have Fwepi !Le North,
and in that word we include the West, winch
seems to rival New hng ond in radnwisin. We
are accustomed to distinguish the Wes ei u Irom
the Northern States by kind, almost tenler
phrases, ard to expect lrom them manifesta
tions of conservatism not looked lor in the
former. We will not. be apt to flo so hen-utter.
1 he West is thoroughly imbued with the ran
corous spirit of radicalism."
What the Whip calls the " rancorous spirit
of radicalism" is the truly conservative and
liberal spirit of Republicanism. And in that
we rejoice to say the West does " rival New
England." Indeed, there is something mag
nificent and inspiring in the political attitude
now presented by that portion of our mighty
country known as the West. If we com
mence with Ohio, the third State in the
Union, we find a Republican majority of over
40,000 ; Indiana, so long a Democratic strong
hold, comes next with 15,000 ; Michigan, with
her intelligent people, her splendid system of
education, and her great mineral and agricul
tural capacities, rolls up 28,000 ; Illinois, the
garden State of the West, a perfect marvel of
growth, as she is of physical resources, under
the lead of the gallant Loan givts rj0,000;
Wisconsin, directly north of her, one of the
most reliable of States, displays 25,000; cross
ing the Father of Waters, we have Minne
sota with her 10,000, glorious Iowa with her
40,000, Mlssouii, just redeemed irom slavery,
and an empire in herself, with her 30,000, and
noble young Kansas, true to her early his
tory, with her 20,000. This mighty array of
magnificent States, comprising within them
selves greater resources of all kinds, greater
capacities for growth and power, than any
similar area of territory on the face of the
globe, stands solidly, unitedly, and intelli
gently upon the broad and liberal basis of
the grand Republican party.
There Is in this fact great significance and
promise for the future. It gives assurance of
the ascendancy of liberal principles in that
portion of our country which is advancing
with most rapid strides along the pathway of
power. The West is destined at no distant
day to give tone and direction to the energies
of the nation. Political power is rapidly mul
tiplying in her bands. She bis all the ele
ments of great and rapid growth, both in
population and wealth. That she has arrayed
herself with such overwhelming preponde
rance upon the side of republican liberty, Is a
matter of the protoundest rejoicing to all who
love our free institutions.
There is in this fact, too, additional cause
of congratulation, in that it assures continued
sympathy of political feeling between the
West and the East. Ever since the Repub
lican party began to assume prominence, the
leaders of the so-called Democracy have
labored Incessantly to promote a sectional
feeling between the East and the West. They
have endeavored to stigmatize the Repub
lican movement as purely a New England
one. We need not set out the matter at
length. Almost any editorial in almost any
issue of our Democratic contemporary in this
city will illustiate this intense sectional
feeling. But the overwhelming and
unchallenged dominancy of the Re
publican party throughout the West
sweeps away the entire basis of this appeal
to sectionalism. The po'.icy of the Republi
can party is fully as Western as it Is Eastern
quite as much that of Illinois as It is that
of Massachusetts. Colfax, Wade, Trumbull,
Morton, Chase, and Logan are as truly its
leaders aB are Sumner, Fessenden, Banks, or
Butler. In truth, there never has existed In
the political history of our country so emi
nently a national party as Is the Republican
party, because there has never been
one so thoroughly devoted to the great
political ideas which constitute us a 'nation.
The Republican party Is a necessary out
jprtwth of the principles enunciated la the
Declaration of Independence. It is w national
as those principles are. It to destined to be
as enduring as they are. It depends upon no
leaders, but upon the intelligent devotion of
the American people to the principles of civil
and religious liberty. Its fundamental Idea
Is neither Eastern nor Western, but the great
American idea, that the people are capable of
solf-government, and are the only rightful
depositories of the political power of the nation.
Founded upon this great Idea, the Republican
party is bound to succeed. The assaults of
its enemies do but consolidate and build up
its power, because they are really assaults
upon the equal Inalienable rights of man,
upon which the whole fabric of republican
Institutions Is built.

TnE London Star, speaking of American
finances, says :
"There is nothing hi the whole ranpe of finan
cial topics that challenees more interest at pre
Fent than Ihe remarkable manner in which the
United States people are frrapplinn with the
burden of their debt. It it was rapidly accu
mulated , it bids fair to be also rapidly dimin
ished, and the policy of diwiuisbtiiR it to the
utmost of their power has never been a mutter
o political dispute. They have assumed it to
be a duty resting on the present generation to
reduce their debt, just as they asm med the duty
of tinhtina to pretervo their country from dis
ruption. The interct-bcanuir debt Iihb ben
reduced by $138,3()!i,574 dunna; the six months
cudinu 1st of October, a tact entirely uuexum
plea in the history of the world, "the yearly
chaipe upon the, revenues of the Treasury has
been reduced in the ea'tie period bv $8,.r(4i'M()0.
It is th expectation of tue financiers of the
Union lhat lue existing; debt of $2,2til,!)9G,182 -
n Bum winch, written in do'lars. is so enur-
nomlv large as to tax the power of enumeration
to express i' will bo brought down to two
thousand millions of dollars, by the let of Janu
ary, 18H7, or at all event bv the 1st ol Julv.
That is, the Americans look culmly to the po'a
Hbility of paying oif within six months
$240. 000,000. Th toll values of the import
entries make the expectation bv no means
improbable. Uo to the 6th of October the
amount of cold paid for import duties has beu
$238,579,377, independent altogether of the
interior currency taxation. TLce facts are
well worth the study of British statesmen."
In view of the fact that the foreign capi.
tallsts are beginning to exhibit that confi
dence in American securities which is fore
shadowed in the Star, it is well for us to look
first at what steps would tend to promote
our credit abroad, and then at the home effect
of the rapid extinguishment of the debt. In
order to hasten a pioper appreciation of the
advantages of our securities among the Euro
pean bankers, we hold it to be evidantly
necessary that we have a uniform funded
debt. So long as the issues of the notes be of
four or five varieties, with abstruse names
and different maturities and rates of interest,
so lonat will the financiers of other lands have
a distrust of our loan. It requires a careful
study for an American to discriminate be
tween the varied bonds of his Government, and
to a German or a Frenchman the Five-twenties.
Ten-forties, and Seven-thirties must be
distraction. That the English also are Igno
rant of the meaning of our diverse denomi
nations, is attested by the fact that the May
issue of Five-twenties is the only one bought
or in any way dealt in on the London
'CLange, find that they are lour per cent
higher than their equals, the issue of June.
What we need, therefore, is one common
st3le of security, of a uniform design, with the
same titre before maturing, and with the rate
of interest equal. When this is done, the
foreigner will become familiar with the ap
pearance and value of the bonds, and we will
no longer see the absurd spectacle of the
acceptance of one and the rejection of another
note, all authorized by the same loan bill. We
therefore hope that among the first acts of
Congress will be the adoption of such a law
as that introduced by Senator Sherman last
spring, and then defeated by the adoption of
a valueless substitute. So far as the condi
tion of the finances at home is concerned
we see cauee for the utmost financial sagacity.
We are rejoicing over the rapid extinguish
ment of our national debt, and we feel a just
pride at the ease with which we are paj ing
off what, to all the woild, appears a crushing
load. But let us see what will be the evident
effect of this rapid extinction. The money which
has been invested in Government bonds is
thus thrown upon the market at the rate of a
million a day, and must either lie idle or
else seek some local investments. The con
sequences are already apparent. Theie is a
dangerous demand for stocks and issues of
first-class character. Already the demand Is
great, but it must go on increasing more and
more rapidly as capital, dislodged from its
national resting-place, seeks to be securely
placed elsewhere. What will be the effect ?
The prices of good investments will continue to
rise,until they reach a height which will cause
them to cease to be desirable. Then specu
lations will be the order of the day, and we
should not be surprised to see an excitement
as mad as that of oil succeed the repayment
ot a large pioportion of our national debt.
On this account, if on no other, we urge the
adoption of the funding plan, which will
enable the people to either accept the bonds
in exchange tor their temporarily held secu
rities, or else which will enable them,
when they are paid by the Government, to
have some means of investment which will
not ba precarious. Sound reason and discre
tion, as well as principles of economy, demand
the Immediate adoption of some form of
American "Consols."

Re-Election of CJovernor Thomas.
From tnc Frederick Union.
Western Marylaud stands proudly erect to-day
in having seut to tue Fortieth Congress, by over
two thousand majority, the old war-lior&e,
Fiimcis Thomas.
Of all the able and distinguished men elected
to the .National Congress in the lierct- campaign
thrcueh which we have just pushed, do one
p'ands more pre-eminent turn Governor
Thoirius. , Although he voted for negro mitlraue
while in Oonerefs last winter, aud tbia tucc vu?
heralded to the people of this district ui2ht and
day throughout the whole canvass, yet he hac
carried every county in his district.
This fact should teach those men among us
who howl so piteously about nt-gro suffrage that
the people of Western Maryland are not even
going to allow thai to stand as an insurmount
able obf-tacle when they are called upon to
decide between loyalty and integrity on one
s'de. r.nd prejudice and demazoguery on the
other. Marj land, though temporarily sub
merged beneath the wave of bigotry aiid pre
judice, will have one Representative in the
Fortieth Congress whose influence and elo
quence will have more weight aud power than
all the Copperhead Representatives from the
K-otcmac to the St. Lawrence.
